Hey there
I recently received a brand new Galaxy S3 after owning a HTC One X for a while. I loved the One X and I think HTC makes some very good quality devices, but the lack of updates was truly annoying. I mean I sold it a couple of weeks ago, and until then I have not even officially received Jelly Bean on it yet!
The S3 came with JellyBean 4.2.1 and there aren't any more updates available as of yet.
I have been using it for a couple of weeks now and it's been great. I just love the responsiveness, screen quality, and features; the whole Motion idea is amazing, too!
One of my beefs with the device is the battery life, though. Granted, it's actually much better than the One X's battery life which was just horrendous, it's still not as good as I had hoped. I have read a lot online about the battery life of the S3 and how it isn't very good, especially for mild to heavy users, but at least it can last a day.
I downloaded that GSam application as recommended by a post on this forum a couple of days ago and here are the results:
I am not a 'heavy user' by any means, I usually just use WhatsApp or make phone calls (not a lot). Also ever since I read the awesome sticky thread here regarding battery life and the difference in consumption between using 3G (data) or Wi-Fi, I have been using Wi-Fi whenever I am at home or at the university, so that I would consume less battery life.
What do you guys think of the statstics? If you want more detailed ones, I can take more screen shots. I almost always leave the brightness level set to Auto, but sometimes in the morning and I am wearing sunglasses I set it to 'brightest' until I am in-doors or just away from the sunlight.
Any information or tips are appreciated, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you for your time.
