Amazing - same language, but unable to put enough words together to explain the problem.

I think he is referring to the cell standby issue where it drains your battery. there is a known issue at the moment and as far as i am aware there isn't an update for it as yet, Just continue to use battery saver ( or juice defender) .... personally ive removed the % icon from the battery app as i tend to get a little whacko over it !

I know what he's talking about but it's also nice, when you start a thread, that you explain what the thread is about.

A firmware update has been released which is supposed to fix the issue, LH1 update for the SGS 3.

I'm skepticle of this cell standby issue and don't have it myself, my cell standby is a high percentage but my battery lasts fine.

From what I understand the bug is in the reading of the cell standby which is factored up by 10. So if it says 30% it is actually 3%. Obviously this messes up the other readings too, but it's not a battery drain issue......

That would make sense since although I'm getting ridiculously high readings for Cell standby my battery usage is pretty good, certainly better than on my SII.

Currently I'm on the latest firmware update and after 21hrs+ I'm showing Cell standby at 49%, Screen 35% and everything else less than 5%. My main use over this period has been reading a complete book on Kindle and that doesn't even get a mention. Perhaps Kindle is incredibly energy efficient but I think it more likely the battery useage readings are totally up the creek - polite description
