Been noticing that my gs3 uses a lot of standby power. Some times up to 30-40% how can I prevent this? I am rooted and I run advance task manager

is your phone on standby a lot? the meter is the % of your used-up battery that has been used by that process. i.e. if your phone sits on standby for "30%" and the battery goes down by 10%, 30% of that battery decrease (3%) is from standby.

based on how you use and how often you use the phone, it may be normal.

for example, i'm at 30% on standby but my phone has been on for 5.5 hours and i have 80% charge. most of my usage today was checking emails and reddit but very sparingly.

Are you in a plce where you have weak signal? When this happens, your radio/baseband struggles to find a stable connection or signal, thus sucking more juice out of your bettery and causing your phone to be on standby mode a lot more.

This. With weak connection your phone will be using more battery to find a signal. Check your status to see what % of the time you are without signal.

I was down to 18% after 16 hours with 34% use on standby. I use advance task manager. I belive its custom rom time. I want jellybean. So I must wait.
