I noticed the same thing on my phone. If the phone was idle it was still ok, but anytime the screen was on and an app was running the battery would drain noticeably faster. I did a factory reset and the battery life is back to the way it was before the jelly bean update, maybe slightly better. If you don't find any other solution maybe this could work for you too.Originally Posted by Converged

For me, it appears the battery lasted longer than before the update.
I keep LTE on all day (I also turn on wifi too so it does not really use LTE the whole day) before and after JB update.
Before the Jelly Bean update, it hardly can last until 9pm. I sometime re-charged the phone in the office.
After the update, it lasts until midnight and I have not recharged my phone in the office since.
I cannot think of what I changed in terms of my habit._______________

So far the only thing that really bugs me is the proximity of the "Attach" and "Send" button on the keyboard.
I preferred it before when they were apart. Reply With Quote

Dec 14th, 2012 11:24 AM #102See if google now is using your location full throttle. That alone can make your phone cry. I just disabled the whole thing off as i never had any use for it lol. Originally Posted by chickibum

Got it for WIND. Saw many videos of it and it didn't seem different what so ever. Now that I actually use it it does seem faster. We are talking small amounts since the S3 is so good, but everything for me is super fast. I did a benchmark test and get right at that 6000 mark

Updated a few days ago. This update messed up my stock browser. Whenever I am scrolling in the browser it zooms in. So annoying. Had to switch to firefix for now. Hope theres a fix for that soon.
