Weird, Android System is never that high for me unless I have some bad app running in the background I forgot to close. On Telus, as of now my Android System is 3% on 9h1m usage.
As for the update, check details here Samsung Galaxy S III gets minor OS update, brings improved stability | MobileSyrup.com

Hey guys , a while ago I posted a coupon on getting a samsung flip case and a samsung dock charger for a discounted price.

Was checking another site and found out that telus is selling refurbished galaxy s3s for only $349!! (plus taxes). Just picked up a white one. I doubt it'll go any lower than that price point Samsung Galaxy S III™ 16GB - RefreshedÂ$|Â$ SmartphonesÂ$|Â$ Phones & devicesÂ$|Â$ TELUS Mobility
Edit: Deal dead a few days ago

Any online service should work, or if you wanna be safe, unlock from Telus is only $35.

Note that since the phone has only been off the charger for an hour, your values will be inflated. Take percentages closer to 0 battery to get a better picture of what your phone is doing.

I would also post up your Screen Time stats cause that just kills the battery. or Maybe considering buy that guys dock if it includes a spare battery.
My stats on stock rom are 83% at 2 hours with LTE On, Screen at Auto, and No power saving. Cell Standby is 32%, Screen is 27% (22minutes), and Android System at 10%.
Maybe you have some crazy app running in the background? Cause my Android System Stats are usually pretty low.
The OTA update hasn't done much for me, might be some app I installed though.
This article states that cell standby is just miscalculated and actuality it just doesn't use that much battery. http://techsplurge.com/10665/solutio...drain-problem/

If you're in no rush just wait, otherwise if you need it unlocked now you have to get the code online or from your carrier.

Thanks for the replies guys! I've wiped out pretty much all my apps now, LTE is turned off, gps is off, power saving on. Phone is currently at 37%.. android system is at 56% and cell standby is now at 15%. Rogers told me to reinstall the OS and see if that helps.. or to find another person with the same battery to see if that's the case. I'll try to reinstall the OS tonight and see if that makes any difference.
Thanks for all the input!  | |

Oh yeah, do you use Live Wallpapers? I heard those drain battery too.
