Battery Draining So Crazy

[androidboy123]

Hi guys
My samsung galaxy s3 battery is draining freaking fast around 1% for every 3-4 minutes
I tried to reset the battery stats and monitor it using better battery stats and all but there is no wakelocks.
Is there any reason why am i having this trouble?
Is anyone else having the same trouble?
Feel free to share here.

[EDIT]: I m running custom rom jellybean criskelo.

Do you have the Facebook app installed? This has caused issues for several people with it constantly syncing.
As a test either disable fb syncing or uninstall fb and see if that improves you battery.

Also do you have GPS or Wifi on constantly or any of the usual battery draining settings. Auto sync will also cause a big battery drain.

GPS won't do anything to the battery unless you're using it. If you have the GPS symbol in the notification bar then its being used otherwise its fine to leave it on.

I have set wi-fi settings in the advanced menu to make wi-fi sleep when the phone is so it's not on 100% of the time when i don't need it. Auto sync i turn off. Brightness is down as low as it can be with auto turned off - adjust it manually if your outside. Make sure you've disabled the S Speak Wake up commands on lock screen.

These increased my battery life quite abit.

Do you take the phone in the bathroom when you shower? That drain sounds very high indeed, possible moisture damage?

Even though GPS isn't used with it switched on it will still use battery so I believe your incorrect there.

I didint install any facebook app and my syncing is switched off all the time....

Any idea why?

Are you in a low signal area? I know it's a pain but to be on the safe side I would perform a factory reset. Also In android settings under battery option what does it show is using your battery?

No, you are incorrect. He is correct. GPS isnt activated unless an app accesses it. The toggle only allows it to be used.

Ok I stand corrected apoligies for that.
Please be aware though if you use the weather widget and its allowed to use GPS, GPS will be used every hour or so to check location (or whatever your refresh period is) so please be aware its not just opening an app. Widgets like weather widget will always be able to use GPS automatically unless Auto Refresh is set to 'None'

I read something about there being a software bug specifically for the s3 a couple of days ago. Just my 2 cents
