Q. I am running a samsung galaxy s3 with ver 4. Seems like i am barely using my phone and the brand new batter and phone are at 60% by 5pm.
The only thing I can think of is to stop downloading any new apps, since they are all running in the background. For example, Facebook app is running, police scanner app alert, camera360 alert, etc.
I went to properties and unchecked the NOTIFICATIONS, but they still keep popping up as running in the background even when i keep stopping them.
Any suggestions what i can do? Other than not installing any new apps. I keep having to go to MENU and then doing an END ALL for all my apps but doesnt seem to help much.
I dont even open the Facebook app up, and it says its using 30MB just by some mediaupload, but all notifications are turned off, and i set it NOT to refresh.
Any ideas?
A. I have the same issue so what I do is set my brightness level at the lowest level because the higher the brightness the faster your battery will drain. Then download a task manager kill application where you can close all of them at once - but sometimes it doesn't close it completely so every time you use an app make surey you exit properly and not just hit the home button because that means the app will continue running in the background. Also, if you are still having issues with closing and app and turning off any notifications, go to the applications widget manager, hold it down and drag it to app info, then click "force stop." Then review your settings from there to turn off notifications and go into your profile to turn off any notifications setting (like Facebook). The biggest drainer is your push notifications so you need to turn that off along with the brightness level of the screen.
Lastly, don't install widgets because they also drain your battery. You can actually go into your phone to see what is using up your battery the most and then try resolving your top battery drainers and see how it goes after that.
I love the Samsung S3 but the battery has not been that great.
How do you recover photos on Samsung Galaxy S3 that were accidentally deleted?
Q. I accidentally deleted an entire album from my Samsung Galaxy S3 and Ive been reading a lot online on how the OS work and it never really deleted anything it just marks the space as available so as long as i don't take any pictures i can still recover mine. I also downloaded the Stellar Phoenix photo recovery to my computer and tried connecting my phone and it doesn't seem to be working. Where i am running into a problem is the directions keep saying for me to go to Settings -> Wireless&Wifi -> USB Tools -> Connect USB mass storage to PC. The problem is i don't have this option in my settings so i don't what to do. Any help would be great!
