Hi
I have Samsung galaxy 3. I noticed battery not lasting the whole day well actually rarely did it ever last as these phones need lots of juice.the phone is a year old and it seemed worse so I put in a new battery yesterday. I charged it said it was charged and when I looked at the battery icon top right it looked like it had dropped. I went into settings and it says 85%.I also just did the update for the operating system yesterday. I would appreciate any help...

Go into your battery stats under Settings, it will tell you what has been using your battery. Google services is giving a lot of people above-average drain, for starters.
