Actually what all say is true in some way. But, the first month is the worst in every smartphone. First of all the battery "learns" how you use the phone and it sets itself. When i bought my ATIV S back in march, i had the same problems till around end of April, after that, everything is working as it should. No crazy overheating, no battery drains, no unstable battery indicators, etc. Give it a time, it will get better. For now this is what i can tell to kinda prevent overheating and battery draining:
- Sort your background tasks (search the forum to see which one to turn them off)
- In case you don't need push notifications from any of the apps, turn them off, cuz push notifications are tend to check internet very often and that eats battery.
- Also if you don't need the GPS all the time, turn the
Location OFF, and turn it on only when you needed.
- If you are not a heavy dependable internet user, Turn OFF your data (mobile internet) and the Wi-Fi finder. Those 2 are among top 5 battery drainers. Use it only one at a time, not both in the same time. Always prefer wi-fi spot over the mobile data. Use mobile data only if there is no wi-fi to reach.
- Always close all tabs in IE10 before you exit the browser.
- In the multitasking window (long press Back key), close all the apps from the X (since you have already GDR3), and then lock the phone.
This is actually how you "train" your phone to work and behave, and in that matter the battery will learn too. Yes, i know this sounds crazy, but it is actually based on my experience. I did this with my ATIV S and also did the same with the WP phones of 4 of my friends with the same problem. The results are the same.... better phone performance, better battery life, almost no overheating like before. The good thing is that this thing is actually safe to do it, it will not brake your phone, lol.
Also, the area where you
