Something wrong. S3 should easily last a day. Most likely your phone can't get to deep sleep, because of some app. You can try to find which app went bezerk with BetterBatteryStats app

Only idea i have is brightness and if some application is draining your battery

Brightness and the autosyncing that's going on in the background.

Also download amd try fastdormancy from store

It really depends on what you're actually doing with the phone in those 5-6 hours. It's reasonable to even hit 0% depending on what you're doing.
Look at your battery stats in the Settings Menu and get something like BetterBatteryStats. Find out why your battery is draining. If it's something you don't want - fix it.

Try to install some battery monitoring app (badass battery monitor for example). At least you will see what's sucking all the juices from your battery.
Display uses most of my battery ( It uses 90%)

Thanks

I got the same problem after flashing to early 4.0.4 build.
Hotmail sync was the issue. Try to do a full reset and don't restore a backup. Just to see how it goes.

I don't think so. It seems like that problem is gone now. I don't know what happened but there was no signal about an hour, the battery drained 30%, and then the signal appeared and the battery draining became slow. Now everything is okay.

Good to hear that. Bad cell signal and wifi connection drain battery more quickly.

Battery Drain after flashing ROM

So after a few days of having my first rooted Verizon Galaxy SIII phone running on CM10.1, I noticed that my battery has been draining noticeably faster than before. It's to a point where it drops to 75% when I just go on my phone for 20 minutes. I checked my battery usage and it appears that '' screen '' is taking up most of the battery. I don't have a live wallpaper, only have two tabs on my screen and only about 3 widgets running. Am I doing something wrong here? My data and etc is off. Only wifi is turned on. What's causing the drain?

Click into screen. screenshot and post the screen on time. Get better battery stats, use it and see what is causing the problem exactly.
So I used BBS and it seems that "PowerManagerService" is taking up A LOT of my battery... What do I do? Please help. My phone has been dying on me.

Your at 12 hours tho? Screens hot your screen on time I don't think it's a battery drain if you have at least 30 min on time since you've been half a day off the phone as well.

[Q] Is This Good or Bad ?

Hello Guy . Im using The Carbon Rom 4.2.2 on my Verizon S3 .. Over All I love the ROM , but like Any ROM I use my Battery life Will be Gone with in an Hour if I use it frequently. just in a 20 Mins I Went To 100%-89% with Brightness As low as it can Go . no WiFi. No GPS . No Sync .. I don't think that's Good Enough .. Who can help me and save my Battery Life
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Disable the sync if you dont want it. The account sync will stop decice from going to deep sleep.
Thanks doesn't hurt....
I think normal
Do y'all think its Dying a little To Quick . I might get 1 And Half each life

I would try a custom kernel that lets you change clock speeds when the system is off. Right now you have 28% battery drain. I usually have anywhere from 2-9% with the phone of most of the time. A custom kernel will also allow you to change govoners and schedulers which can sacrifice some performance for bettrr battery life.
I couldn't upload pictures but on clean rom 6 running ktoonse kernel I got 6hrs screen on time 13.5hrs up time and a 6.4% battery drain. That's with a 4400mah battery so you should be able to get at least half that time with heavy use (my stats are at heavy use) and that only ran my battery down to 30%

Tap on the battery graph and post a picture a screenshot so we can see what's causing the wakelocks. Thats a pretty solid linear blue line you have there...

Battery drain help

Hello guys
I have since 1 week a very weird problem my phone is very warm on the top of the phone and the battery just drains down I charge it in the night so my phone is 100% in the morning and when I get it out of my pocket after 1 hour 68% left and the top of the phone is just very hot
How can I solve this I don't have the time to bring it away because I need my phone for school and work
This problem started when I upgraded to 4.2.2 the Spanish one and I flashed back to 4.1.2 yesterday but the problem is still here
I also deleted everything on my phone wiped it nothing helps

I'm having the same problem, although phone is not getting any hot or anything like thath.
But battery is draining like hell. In a few second it will go from 15% to 0% and phone will shut down automatically.
Also when phone is fully charged it will drain battery pretty quick even with screen switched off and just music playing it will go dwon from 100 to 70 in one hour.
I've switched off all push email, facebook stuff etc. not usibg 3g much, got no clueue whats causing this to be honest.

You could try Greenify or Wakelock which will point you in the direction of what is using resources and to hibernate the offenders.
Quite useful apps.
I've tried greenify and it was causing more damage than good
