Hi there,

I've had my Virgin Mobile Galaxy S3 for a few weeks now and was wondering if this battery life is normal? I used it from 100% to the 1% you see. I also have 3 Gmail account to sync and two Yahoo to sync every 4 hours. Screen brightness is auto location is on and auto rotate is also on. Thanks for any and all help! :)

Your percentages look normal to me.

Click on the battery graph on the top.

This is how I think it works

Look at your mobile network line always dark green (good) more light brown (Not so good weak signal) Black and not connected to WiFi ( very bad looking for signal using lots of power)

GPS: on all blue (not good using lots of power) intermittent blue/black ( good ) not looking so much, less power)

WIFI: If on and all blue (good) If on and blue/ black ( not good uses power every time it comes on to look for WiFi)

Awake: All blue ( not good always awake) intermittent blue/black ( good phone goes to sleep saving power)

Screen on: All blue ( not good) intermittent blue/black ( good turning off saving power) ( unless your on it every second of the day)
