Default GS3 Battery Life

Hello! My battery life stinks. I cannot make it through the day without charging. So last night I did a test, I went to be with a full charge and six hours later, my phone was almost dead. Any suggestions? Or do I have a lame battery? I'm coming off a Palm Pre + so I'm new to Android.

thank-you for the help and advice
Jerry

Hi Jerry...

Welcome to Android Forums.

Unfortunately, these batteries don't last a long time at all. Six (6) hours seem like a reasonable time that these batteries seemed to last - It also depends on what you are doing, and how healthy of a battery you have. Browsing the web, listening to music, or just watching a movie won't definitely last that long. I would strongly suggest getting yourself a couple extra batteries.

Thanks for joining the community.

Hello and thanks for joining Android Forums, jerrocket.

I have the S3 and I can usually go several days without needing to charge it. As Rush said, it depends on how healthy the battery is or what you're doing on it.
It could be dying fast if you don't have good service and it's constantly trying to get a cellular signal or it could be do to a faulty battery.
