Re: Battery Life?
That’s what it seems like. 
Better u give ur S3 to my Choti!
Re: Battery Life?
wow that easy huh?
isnt it just simpler to plug the damn thing onto the charger at nights?
Yes but by not charging it every day, you're not being wasteful of energy resources, not to mention saving money on electricity bill!

Then why are using the computer to visit a forum? save energy stop posting and using computer.
Re: Battery Life?
It's about increasing the lifespan of the battery on the long run. Especially because you just can't replace the battery of an iphone like you could with any other phone. Well one can buy a replacement kit on ebay or send it to apple, but there are various reasons why some people would not like to do that though.
Also, just because I have a Thomas Crapper throne at home and I payed for it, doesn't mean I have to spend most of the time there. Only make use of it when you have to go.
Sometimes I get the feeling that some members here are writing their posts from that very special throne though.

I guess you leave your computer on throughout the entire day?

but the point is to you use the phone you bought when you need it. yea, i leave macbook pro on last time i fully shut that thing was like two weeks. ago
but if you look at the above post he is talking about conserving energy, why use extra stuff?
Re: Battery Life?
Not sure if anybody had mentioned this already but the rule of thumb with batteries is to completely discharge them, then put em to charge and fill up till 100% then discharge completely before attempting to recharge. Idea being plug into the wall as less often to keep battery life as prosperous as possible.

hmm well I don't want to be out and have the phone die on me that's why I don't let it get too low. But I get the logic of letting it completely drain.
I never turn off my phone or laptop. :/ Phone is always on fully and laptop is on hibernate at night.

Never turn off your laptop as well? lol
Well, I got a HTC desire C , I charge it once a day. I don't keep notifications active such as fb or email.
Re: Battery Life?
I have an Iphone 4 and I only have to charge it 4-5 days or so. LOL
These are the things I do to save battery life.
1). Turn off the wifi, 3g and ofcourse bluetooth when I'm not using it.
2). Turn off the built in GPS and locations service.
3). Turn phone to flight mode at night, because i'm not going to make any calls and i'm not expecting any calls either.
4). Reduce screen brightness. I reduce it so much that when i'm looking at my phone screen it's only me who can read what's on there and people behind me can only see a black screen. LOL
5) Use headphones when i'm listening to music. I also turn the phone to mute when i'm not calling someone or listening to music. Don't know if that helps with battery lifespan, but i just like to do it anyway. LOL
This kind of goes against the whole ideals of having a smart phone. I think Zap doesn't even need a phone at all and could survive :p
Re: Battery Life?
Still no iphone users? Maybe there aren’t any. 
(usman 0142 I’m kidding)
Re: Battery Life?
All smartphones have approx the same time frame to use their phones Gone are the days when we used to get 4-5 days of battery. Unless you have a kindle 
if you can get thru the whole day with one charge you’re good. Don’t complain. Or hit ebay and get extended batteires. Droid Max does come with at 3350mA battery which lasts almost 2 days (regular use, not dimmed screen or in a drawer) 
Re: Battery Life?
^^ Most normal people have to charge their phones twice a day unless they just stare at them for hypnosis.
I charge my phone about that much as well
Re: Battery Life?
:-). i feel like S3 battery is better then the iphone 4S, i am getting 5 inshallah pretty soon, then i can really compare it to S3. S3 is a better phone then a iphone 5, but its too big for my liking. by the way t-mobile has released jelly bean for S3.

Re: Battery Life?
Kya Hua?
Samsung has lithium ion battery. Following is from the web.
Avoid fully discharging a lithium-ion battery! Unlike Ni-Cd batteries, lithium-ion batteries’ life is shortened every time you fully discharge them. Instead, charge them when the battery meter shows one bar left. Lithium-ion batteries, like most rechargeable batteries, have a set number of charges in them.
Re: Battery Life?
My phone lasts about 4-5 days. It's a Nokia 1200 with a 1.5" display. The only cool thing about it is the torch on top of it. But it'll save me a heart attack when I get mugged, losing a smart phone, can't even imagine the pain.
Calls and Texts that's all it's good for.

So there is a best before date for Samsungs :( I mean since there are a set number of charges the phone is no good afterwards right? Or I guess one could buy a new battery. How much are those?

Yes, please do share the battery life on iphone5. Hmm yea the S3 is big and I thought I would have a hard time with it but I love it so far. I suppose comes down to personal preference.

you are absolutely right with personal preference, if the screen was 4.0 or even 4.3 i would have kept the phone but i have hard typing. so had to sell it.
