Strange GS3 battery issue...

[zachary]

My wife and i both have GS# bought at the same time a year or so ago. Her phone is to the point that She has to charge it three times a day, mine will still have 40%+ battery at night. She is not on her phone that much during the day, she is a therapist and can not be. We have uninstalled so many apps, she reboots it daily, and clears memory caches' two or three times a day. We have tried app watch programs, nothing seems to be weird or working too much. We can switch batteries and it does the same thing, hers works the same on mine and then mine dies in her phone...it has to be some sort of software issue i would assume?

Try this first because it sounds like it's never going into deep sleep(some app is sending a wake lock). Dl Cpu Spy and Wakelock Detector, check Cpu Spy at the point of needing a recharge, if it shows no Deep Sleep state on cpu frequency, check Wakelock Detector to see what app is causing it.

Ya sounds like some sort of Wakelock happening. A quick thing to check without doing what Tx Redneck suggested first is to bring up the Battery in Settings and see what's using it the most as a quick test.

Her %'s on the battery are the same as mine across the board. Screen tops list

[Jose]

Better run the other tests than.

Here are screen shots of all that whenever it beeped to charge.
On wakelock i went through and changed display options to see everything.

That font hurts my brain.

[zachary]

TX, did that tell you anything?

[Tx Redneck]

Ok, uninstall Watchdog, disable Samsung Push Service(if possible) reboot and check those very same stats at recharge time again.

If you notice in both apps, it's rarely going into deep sleep.

[zachary]

Ok will do. What is push service? Is that not what checks emails etc? Also where do you disable that? can not find

[Jose]

I think one of the things is checks email through the stock email app. It should be under Settings > Accounts I would think.

[Tx Redneck]

It's a service for Samsung apps. If it can be disabled, it'll from within Settungs/Apps
