i have installed some roms. when i install for the first time, battery time is good. but whenever charge my s3 for the second time battery drains faster.

Lastly, i installed ArchiDroid V1.7.15. Standby time was more than perfect. on avarage usage, 3,5 days

But after i charge it for the second time, battery drains faster

what is my fault?

Let the ROM settle. use what ROM you want. Charge it few times. It should pass like one week at least tohave a good view on how the battery performs.

Are you on a cm or Touchwizz rom ?

Personally, my method for having a pretty good battery life is like this :

- After you flash your rom let the battery get empty and then charge it to the max without have it on, just plugged in.
- Repeat this method for at least 2 times and then you will get a good average of what the battery life looks like on this rom.

Keep in mind that each rom have different battery life, because of all the tweaks and optimizations that the developers add to it.

And also, don't forget that AOSP rom ( CyanogenMod, ParanoidRom, etc... ) are slightly less under the official samsung rom in terms of battery life. That's why a large number of people prefer official samsung rom instead of the AOSP one.

I think that everyone does have your problem actually ;)

interesting, i did it 3 times

3,5 - 4 days standby time with medium usage

when i recharge from zero, it drops 85% in 4 hours, with very little usage

reformat, reinstall ArchiDroid V1.7.15 rom. and it is great again...

i do not understand anything
