this is the reason why im updating the firmware of my s3. from 4.0.4 to 4.3 jelly bean. im not yet done downloading the stock rom.

by the way what is your firmware? is it because of "cell standby" when you look at the status of your battery?.

my android is 4.1.2. What are the sign that my battery is leaking?

If the phone is turned off and the the battery is discharging it's most likely a bad battery. What's the voltage of the battery when fully charged? It should be 4.2v; if it's less then your battery is bad and doesn't hold a full charge anymore.

There is a chance of wake locks which drain HELL LOT OF BATTERY.

I just left my device turned off(as in power off) and saw that my device is heating up. Is this caused by software? does s3 still need battery to function while powered off? I just lost 10% while powered off for about an hour. This is really strange. What process is running when the phone is off?

Yes I have the same experience.

It seems to be the problem with the phone because I tested this on the OEM battery and Anker battery (3rd party brand with good reputation, not some cheap china batteries).

I never turn the phone on when I tested this, but you can see the battery level indicator when you plug in the charge cable. I had both batteries charged to full (green light comes on) then pull the charge cable. When I replug the cable (and phone is off of course), both batteries can lose up to maybe 1/10 of the level bar as soon as 2 hours!! The level is nearly zero after 24 hours.

I charged up the batteries full again, then took it out and leave it out overnight. The phone shows full battery level when I put the battery back in the following day.

When the phone is switched off, it still consumes battery eg. to keep the clock running, but it should drain really slowly. Maybe it is the problem with the S3 battery level reporting, or maybe something is eating battery. I never felt any heat when the phone is off, plugged in for charging or not.
