battery damaged or what's wrong with my S3? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hez guys. My baterry life is getting shorter and shorter. I closed all apps and it went from 100% to 47 over night. Made an Screenshot (sorry my system language is german) and why does it say it lost so much power cuz of the display? It was off 99% of the time
Greetings RoC

That's not display, my man. That's the android system. Something is running rogue. Go into settings>applications>slide over to running apps. See what is running. If it's something you don't use (or haven't in awhile) uninstall it and see what happens.
Something is running rogue. It may even be the media scanner. There are a lot of threads here talking about how to stop the media scan battery drain. I'd look into that and then download CPUspy from the market. Check to see if your phone is entering deep sleep.
Ya feel me?

Also, if you weren't using your phone that much, it would still show display near the top, here is why:
ANY time you use your phone, that is screen on time. If you look at your chart, you can see that only about 5 things are happening. Those percentages equal 100%. So let's say you were setting an alarm clock or geeking on the phone for a bit (while plugged in and charged) before bed, then that would be the majority of what you were doing. However, your OS is running always (it's what runs the phone) and is apparently doing some heavy work during your sleeping hours -- always running. Cell standby is normal.
Make sense?

Edit: what is your screen timeout? Do you have "screen on" while charging? Maybe your screen stayed on while you were asleep.

Battery power horrible!

This is horrible. Screen in time is maybe and hour and 50 mins. I love ktonnsez kernel and cm10 stable release. Kernel settings:
Max:1728 Min:192 Governor:ktoonservative io:noop disabled the touch boosters. Screen off profile mhz:384 screen off profile governor:ktoonservative.
What am I doing wrong?

Well, you over clocked your phone. That will do it. And the battery stats look normal.

And do you have Account Syncs turned on? If so, turn it off. Also, looks like you have Facebook running. Disable push notifications on that app. Better yet, get rid of it completely lol It sucks.

Actually you need to up your screen of clock. That low and the CPU has to keep running with the screen off to finish up tasks so your phone can't go in deep sleep. Also use better battery stats because I'm guessing you have an app causing a wake lock.
Sent from my SCH-I535
I realize the over clock will brig the battery down. But the screen is what I'm confuzed about 40%? Is that normal? And it drains in 4 hours with maybe 50 minutes of screen on time. I'll try the Facebook and sync thing. But I have no idea why my battery would drain so bad just from the screen. I've never really experienced it on my incredible this bad. Same thing with the iphones and they suck.

I just posted these in the CM10 thread, my phone right now about halfway thru my day, I run 1512 interactive cfq on stock kernel, 12/4 Nightly

[Q] BeanStalk Q&A

These aren't development questions, so I wanted to keep these out of the development thread. Anyhow, I just installed BeanStalk, and I just have a couple questions, and probably more later, and probably other people will, too, so here's a nice thread for everyone to ask their BeanStalk questions.
Anyhow, question 1: I installed the themed MMS and Contacts package on initial install, but I'm not really diggin' it. I'd like to just go back to stock. So, is it just as easy as flashing the beanstock.zip in CWM just as I installed the beanthemed.zip, or is there more prep involved now that something is already in place? Does anything need to be uninstalled first? Or can I just power down, re-flash the new zip, and be good to go?
Question 2: I like the lock screen widgets, however, I'm not a fan of the camera widget on the lock screen. The problem is, it seems to be quite permanent. Does anyone know how to remove the camera lock screen widget?
Thanks much.
Hi guys. Might be just my phone, but I flashed the 4/10 build and my cpu was pegged at 98-100% and never dropped. Battery stats showed media the culprit. I tried disabling it with Android tweaks, but that didn't work. OS Monitor showed "system" at upper 90's. This was draining my battery faster than I could charge it and it was hot of course. Had to revert to 4/1 build. Is anyone else seeing this? If not, maybe I'll try again. Thanks!

I agree it doesn't sound like the same problem he or some others were having,but it is known that there is a problem with that build. May be showing different due to installed apps or any number of reasons.

For me its working great, its a very nice option, Touch awake works nicly on my infuse, yes its taking some battery but for me its ok, as i usualy stop looking my infuse, within 10 mins i used to check the infuse screen 4-5 times, so i want to avoid Power button usage, else soon my power button will stop working.

Constantly Reboots!
Hey Guys!
I am having a constantly reboots on my XT925 nearly every 20 hrs.
I have read that user need to have a logcat in order to have a look at the background process and it is hard to catch as logcat cleared on every reboot so i used catlog application to see my logcat
Whole Logcat : XT925.ZIP
Some Exception Logcat attached as a screenshot but i recommend you check zip file.
Please guys i want as assist from developers in order to determine the cause of this reboot, Please Please Help Me
Hey guys am not a developer and i know nothing about it as i bricked my phone using font installer and after long long search i came up with custom ROMs and all these stuff
Device : XT925
ROM : Beanstalk 8
Android : 4.3
Recovery : OUDHS
Bootloader : Unlocked
I'm having battery problems. I get it charged fully, but it doesn't last no more than 2-3 hours. Also when I restart it suddenly shows a battery life of 12 %, and even then, the 12% goes up to 16% all without a charger... Then goes back down again for which i have to recharge or the phone dies. I tweaked around with the battery settings on android tweaker pro, and it's not helping.

HTC ONE X Wont turn on, flashing home and back buttons

All of a suddon my htc one x wont turn on. When I plug it in I get a solid green charging light. When I hold power the home, back and recent apps buttons flash bright white, when I try recovery mode, power and vol down I get the same flashing home buttons. Any ideas, thanks.

press and hold power until the home, back and recent apps buttons flash bright white, I think 7 times? then they stop flashing and the screen goes black, let go of power and press and hold volume down until bootloader comes up.

To be honest, I am not certain. Usually this occurs when the battery dies. I believe it's a bug of sorts.
It does that even when battery is at 60%.

Even ten isn't right. You're the one single person that has reported their phone behaving in this manner. Having to hold the power button down isn't bad for the phone, all it's doing is performing a hard reset.

Either way, its an exaggeration and almost certainly not true. People here often say its the "same problem" when its in fact not the exact same issue, just something similar.
As mentioned, various forms of the power management bug have been reported. But your exact conditions seem fairly unique.

Crazy Battery, can't figure out why.

So usually on a work day, my phone will sit in my car for 13 hours without being touched. By the end of the day when I go to bed, I'll be around 80% to 83% battery.
Today I noticed a couple hours after I got hoe that I was at 31%. For the record, this is a Maxx. I have two different wakelock detectors installed on my phone but I can't find anything that indicates what went haywire today. The Battery section in Settings just says it was "Android OS".
Here are some screenshots of the screens. Do any of you see anything I'm not? I have no idea what the culprit was.
Could point to poor cell service reception but it sounds like the phone was in the same place as other days.

Ya but the number of such devicea can be counted on fingures.

I guess 10 & 30 would be OK. Obviously perfect solution would be if this was editable somehow. Maybe even having more then 2 warnings possibly, tho I might be dreaming

Hi guys.
I have made an app which warns you of battery level when its 30% and 10% left.
Its a good app i think.
Download and install.
And remember to tap on the app icon after every reboot of device to start the app and then forget about it.
It runs in cache and gives you warning.
Here is the link from my google drive.

Hi guys
This is the stable version of the battery low app by me.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByZiuaK2U388bDhneWcyMlgwSlU/view?usp=docslist_api
This app lets you choose the two battery levels to show warning on.
And tells you that how much time is left for battery to drain at every warning.
To use the app just tap it on every reboot and enter the warning battery levels.
The previous battery levels are saved so if after reboot you want them to remain same then do not type any number just hit ok and go onn.
A cation .
Suppose your battery is 32% left so set the warning values at atleast 2% difference so the warning values can start from 30 to 1 or 34 to 99 ok.
Between the two warnings there should be a 2% gap.
Choose any value between 100 to 0.but never choose 100 and 0 ok.
Enjoy the app.
Hit thanks if liked
Sorry bro i opened link sharing for all and now you can install the app freely
