I started to notice increased battery drain when I bought a case for my galaxy note 4. Nothing was showing up as suspicious on the battery usage. It took me a while to find the culprit. In the settings under accessibility, The "Air wake up " feature was enabled and I used it a lot. It allows you to wake the display by waving your palm. You can then see the time and notifications. I found that my phone was constantly waking up when I had the case closed. One night, I lost 30% charge while sleeping. I now keep this function turned off and the problem has stopped.

The galaxy s3 is a great phone and there is no better phone out there at the moment. In fact, the best combination of 2 great names (Samsung and Google) means that i can't wait to get my handa on the galaxy s4. I am hoping though that they fix one problem which is the battery life. i currently can not go a full day of normal use on one charge. I'm having to use my phone on power saving mode which is not ideal as i can't explore all the features the phone offers. It looks like my smart phone would have to be an ordinary one until this is sorted.
