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 I prevent my Samsung Galaxy S3 from disabling mobile data, when it goes into sleepy mode?
Q. I use my Samsung Galaxy S3 as a mobile wireless hotspot for my laptop. The problem is, when the phone goes to sleepy mode, it disables the mobile data, therefore I lose the connection to the internet on my laptop? How do I keep the mobile data active even though the phone goes to sleepy mode? Thanks.
A. Keep it from going into sleepy mode, by setting the screen timeout to the longest setting, and touching the screen once in a while. Keep it plugged in so the battery doesn't run out. If you need mobile data on your laptop that much, maybe you should get a 3g or 4g adapter instead of using the phone.
