My Galaxy SIII just recently started to lose its charge more frequently

In the past week, I have noticed that my phone has started to lose its charge more frequently than it has in the past.  I fully charged my phone last night around 7 pm and usually that would last me all day today.  I woke up this morning and had already discharged so much and was in yellow, needing to be recharged.  I uninstalled a few apps that I had on there that I hadn't used.  But the charge has been great since I've had this phone.  Any ideas as to why this just started happening?  Do I need to change something in my settings? 

I've got exactly the same problem. I tried my other SIII battery (I had bought a spare) and same problem. At another website:
Following installation of the Verizon Jelly Bean update people said that the battery of the Samsung Galaxy S3 started to drain faster when the handset was doing nothing overnight. So we took the version of the Samsung Galaxy S3 from Verizon on Jelly Bean and charged it fully. The battery went down overnight to around 898%, by 7am in the morning. We then did the same with the device that is still running ICS (Cricket Samsung Galaxy S3) and checked it at the same time. We found out that it had gone down to 96%. There is no way of being sure why this happens, however you can turn off Google Now location services. Apparently Google Now and it services may be checking more often ever since Jelly Bean was installed.
I haven't called VZN yet to inquire. Anyone know for sure what's happening -- and more important, how to fix it!

    I made sure the 'Show Icon Preview' box was checked.  This is about all I can do, really, Frank, as i don't know enough about the workings of these machines to start fiddling about.
    Strangely the images show as previews in some folders, yet not in others, even though they come from the same sources (my camera and my phone).

  • I've read that there is a Firefox add-on, or plug-in, that will disable the maddening autoplay that has just recently started to occur when I play YouTube videos.. can I truly disable this thru Firefox?

    It's certainly possible that Youtube has changed something...
    Since most volunteers here probably aren't using this extension, I suggest contacting its author using the contact information on this page: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/smartvideo-for-youtube-mytube/

  • My ipod touch is about 3.5 years old and just recently I have had trouble charging it. No matter what I plug it into it c

    Mu Ipod touch is about 3.5 years old and just recently I have had trouble charging it it just says charging not suported thats with USB into a PC, on a docing station and in the car. I can get a bit of charge into it via the docking station before it displays the not suported message. Any idea?

    Not Charge
    - See:     
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My Macbook loses its charge extremely fast.

    Hi, my Macbook is from July 2006. The computer started to automatically shut off on occasion. Eventually the battery began to hold a short charge, so I replaced it this year. Although the macbook held a charge, the computer would still go into sleep mode automatically. I just travelled with my computer, and while vacationing, the computer has started to lose it charge. Not even like it did before. It will lose charge immediately, as it tells me that it has at least 22 minutes of life left just after fully charging it. You can watch the percentage drop fairly in a small amount of time, and even sometimes within five minutes it will say it is running on reserve battery.
    Any help is appreciated!!

    Allow the battery to be completely depleted before charging the battery is worse for the battery than charging more often. I connect my iPhone to a power source whenever possible so when I take off, the battery is closer to being fully charged or fully charged. I leave my iPhone connected to a power source every night. When the battery is fully charged while remaining connected to a power source, charging stops.

  • My audiobooks just recently starting playing with an echo - any suggestions to fix this issue?

    My audiobooks recently started playing with an echo.  Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

    I've got to agree with Allan. It sounds like the hard drive is corrupt at least. It's possible it might be physically failing. Without backups, it's possible your data is already gone. You need a professional to help you.
    If you do not have an Apple Store near you or simply don't have the time to spare, there are some things you can try, but you must understand that it's possible these things could make the chances of recovering your data worse than they already are. Perform the instructions to follow at your own risk!
    First, you can try repairing your hard drive with Disk Utility. If that works, see if you can start up the machine. If you can, the very first thing you need to do is back up any data you don't want to lose. You may still need to take other steps, as your system may be damaged as well, but getting the data is the important part.
    If Disk Utility cannot repair the problems, you can try DiskWarrior. It can repair problems that Disk Utility cannot. However, it also increases the risk of destroying your data if it fails. If it works and you can start up the machine, do the same as I advised for following success with Disk Utility.
    If repairs (with either) were successful, but the machine still won't start up, you can try reinstalling the system. Hold down command-R at startup and then just install right on top of the existing system. If all goes well, you'll be able to start up afterwards and can get your data backed up. If all goes badly, it'll further decrease the chances of getting your data back.
    If neither can repair the damage, you're in bad shape. You will need a professional to help you, unless you are willing to lose all your data.

  • My iPod loses its charge pretty quickly it there something I'm not doing (besides turning "off" the app after I use them I the evening?

    I just became the proud parent of an iPhone last week. I'm surprised at how fast I lose my charge during its normal use everyday. I charge it every night, is that too much? Do I need to let it go completely drained before recharging it each night? I do remember to "turn off" the apps I use every evening. Is there something else I should be doing? Do I need to take off some apps if they might be draining the battery? Thanks, Trish

  • Everytime I open Iphoto it "quits unexpectedly" after a few seconds no matter what I am doing.  Even if I'm logged in as a different user it still does it.  It just recently started happening

    Everytime I open iPhoto on my iMac it "quits unexpectedly" after about 8 seconds.  Even if I switch users and open my daughter's iPhoto, it does the samething.  It just started happening today, and I did sync photos from her iPad to the Imac.

    Two things to try to see if iphoto stops crashing.
    1. From your preferences directory drag com.apple.iPhoto.plist to your desktop and loaunch iphoto to see if it fixes your problem.  I'm a little leary of doing this since all your iphoto preferences will be recreated from scratch.  So if this experiment doesn't work replace the recreated one in Preferences with the old original one you dragged on to your desktop.
    2. Boot in safe mode.  Play with iphoto a little bit to see if it fails.  Whether it fails or not reboot normally.  Safe mode will suppress all third party additions, your login items, as well as doing a little bit of cleaning (e.g., some caches).  So it will be interesting to know if iphoto runs in safe mode and then after rebooting normally.

  • My App Store icon keeps displaying the little red circle with the number 4 and when it is opened to the updates tab there are no app to update. The page displays "All Apps Are Up to Date". This just recently started an occurs on both my iPad2 and iPhone5

    Why is this happening?

    I've seen reports of this happening when updates have been issued for apps that make them only work on iOS 7, users of earlier versions of iOS get notified that there are updates pending but when you actually go into the app store updates function it realises they don't apply to you because you are on an earlier version of iOS than what the new versions  require.
    In fact I just had a very similar experience on my iPod touch with iOS 6, in App Store app it flagged 7 app updates in red badge but when I clicked on the Updates button it only listed two  apps to update, once they'd been applied the outstanding updates badge disappeared.

  • HT1688 My phone's iMessages are being sent to a the intended addressee. However in addition to him, his father's email account just recently started receiving our texts last night. How can we stop him from receiving our texts and replying in our thread?

    I've tried turning iMessage on and off, his son has deleted his iCloud account in suspiscion that that was the cause of the problem, etc.
    We've been texting for months without problem. This morning his son texts me, "Good morning," and then his father replies into our thread, "Good morning to you too!" I checked my contact, and I never had his father's email account before nor was his email a part of his son's contact. Please help me to stop him reading our messages. Thank you.

    You don't necessarily need to change the Apple ID for iMessage, in Settings > Messages > Received At > On each device have them uncheck any number/email that does not belong to that device

    I am on Charter means nothing without a link. If you supply a link to the site in question then maybe someone will be able to advice further. But this is down to the site in question to inform you of any plug-ins required to use their site. Firefox will only notify you or install, depending on your preference, any outdated plug-ins.
