Wait til that iPhone 5 drop, that battery is going to get murked on LTE unless iOS 6 fixes whatever the hell iOS 5 did to start k#lling the battery in the first place.

Good post, very honest

The reason why your battery life is so poor is because you leave unnecessary stuff running.

Hold the home key and clear out what you don't need

Not gonna lie lte does k#ll the battery. If it wasn't for that I'd get 3 more hours. I usually get 8-10 bring of heavy usage. Not bad. But I was expecting more

I seen many reviews about gs3 great battery life while you saying you charge your phone 3 times a day. Something is fishy about that.

You paid for the phone and claim the phone has !!ty battery life and praising the iPhone 4s battery life which has !!ty battery. Everyone gs3 can last all day except yours. Three times a day of charging the phone. Then claim the gs3 4g speed is slower than the 3g of iPhone 4s. I call bull!!.

Who's every one , There is a few people saying the same thing as me ..No !!!
Get off S 3's Dic..

The S 3 is a great phone no doubt that but when you use a phone the way i do toward business i am just saying the iphone batt is better , I dont have to re-charge 2-3 x per day.

Not sure ur status but i am this !! all day..and you not so much maybe...

Yeah I'm so much on s3 !! even though everyone know i own an evo 4g lte. If anything you are own iPhone !! saying bull!! like gs3 4g speed is slower than iPhone 3g speed. Or saying you charge the s3 times a day. If you said charge once a day I wouldnt called u out because its more believable. But three times. Somebody should call you out on your bull!!.

08-16-2012, 01:02 PM

he prolly do gotta charge up three times a day
but then again
he prolly got a bad battery
also it depends on how u charge it
charge till it hits 100
unplug
let it sit for a minute
turn on if battery at 99
charge till 100 again
and ur battery should be at full strength and u will notice the difference

That still wouldn't constitute three charges a day. just one tops after the initial charge.

08-16-2012, 04:25 PM

Charge 3 times a day? Wtf are you doing watching videos all day? [pic]
I charge my phone once a day. And thats only because i dont like to go far with less than 50%

The qualcomm S4 of the galaxy s3 is far more battery efficient than the OMAP 4460 of the Galaxy Nexus.

Why do you think people with Galaxy s3, Evo 4g lte, and One S, and One X(all these phone has the qualcomm s4) have people averaging 16 hours medium usage and days with light usage. !! the gs3 can last 10 hours watching videos alone.

My Evo 4g lte average 16 hours. That is with me using the phone. And that phone is made by HTC. There is many battery test that gave the GS3 similar battery life or better. And you telling me you have to charge your phone 3 times a day, while my phone can last a whole day with sprint !!ty a#s towers.

no it doesn't. my son proves that often..

08-17-2012, 08:23 AM

I'd probably wait and explore my options.

08-17-2012, 09:50 AM

Im on this phone all day , internet , you tube , text etc.. We do work!!!

Just saying- iphone batt last a lot longer and just plain feels solid all together.

Im not hating on the S3 , I really wanted to fall in love.

The buttons are in a horrible spot.

Im hard on these phones man , I go thru a phone a year at least.

I throw them around the room when mad.

I punch the screen when i dont get my way.

I am smart phones worst night mare.

Dont hate the player hate the game.
