It has 8 core! Battery life has to be dismal. My international vs s3 is quad core and lasts a day. How about the carrier dual core version? How's the battery life on that?

The dual core S3 that I had lasted about a day with heavy usage. But I have 3 e-mail accounts syncing and I use it in meetings and on the train...

My Nexus 4 is quad core. It lasts just as long as my Galaxy Nexus dual core.

Screen is set on auto brightness, no auto sync at all except the weather widget which updates every 3 hours and I have barely used the phone since I am at work. Also checked the apps running in background, no crazy app running in the background except gmail, whatsapp, phone, and chompsms.
I am gonna try and uninstall this GoLauncher and all of these Go-apps to see it that improves the battery life...

Screen is at lowest, auto-sync on, checking once or twice, NFC on, LTE/Wifi/Bluetooth off, typical apps on, using NovaLauncher.
What are the top apps listed in the battery menu?

No LTE/Wifi/Bluetooth/NFC, just regular 4G. I googled and apparently poor reception drains the battery more than anything else.
Phone 30%
Screen 23%
Android OS 14%
Device idle 8%
Cell standby 7%
A coworker just looked at my phone and said the GPS thingy drains battery. Do you have it turned on all the time or just when you need to use the location-service?

Ah that may be why, I never leave GPS on. Only turn it on when I actually need navigation or need to know exactly where I am. Even when using location service the rough location it gets via the 4G is good enough for me.

I unplug everyday at 5:30am and by 12pm I will be around 61% with heavy browsing. I have fb, instagram, gmail, whatsapp sync on. bluetooth, lte and gps on at all times. screen is around 40% brightness. weather widget at 3 hour update. single page home screen.
Some things to try:
- use fixed brightness
- download appbrain ad detector and scan for ads
- turn auto rotate off

I don't think the upgrades are good enough for me to ditch my s3. I've only had it since June :/

More core's does not = less battery life.
I remember reading a release from nvidia showing data comparing multi cored processors.

Posted via RS Mobile | I'm thinking about the S4 as well. I love my note 2, but the allure of the 1080P screen is soooo tempting.

Also the idea of having the phone fit in my jeans more comfortably is a plus.

Should I pre-order? Then again I probably think that its better to wait until its out and tested then make my decision to get it or not....
