Download the app! It is in the App Store for free

If your only issue is battery life, get an extended battery and make sure your battery is calibrated. There are android apps out there that will calibrate your battery. With a calibrated extended battery, I get 2-3 days of battery life with heavy usage. The app I use is simply called "battery calibration"

When the privacy policy and advertising terms come up hit close all time, NOT OK.

I would try the battery calibration first to see if it improves your battery woes before going with a new phone. Then consider an extended battery.

thanks for that, HUGE increase in discharge performance on a year and half old battery and phone is very rarely off.

Tech buddy feedback. He loves rooting his phones etc.

Might be about a different pgm, but take care on ad questions, and tech instructions.

"I don’t use it. I tried one of these apps before and unless you follow the directions exactly and constantly redo the calibration process, your phone will be out of calibration and it will be a pain it get it calibrated again. For example when I screwed up my phone with this type of app it would stop charging at 95% and die at like 5 percent. I had to factory reset to fix it."

Ended up going shopping with the wife and kids on Friday and we all got an early Christmas present, I ended up with the Galaxy S3. I didn't realize it at the time but Best Buy sells the Seidio Obex waterproof case for the S3, I was under the impression that it was only available online. I went in today and picked up the case and even got it price matched, walked out the door spending just a little more than $60 for the case compared to $70 or $80 +tax on some of the online sites.

I've been reading reviews for the last few days and although Seidio is the only manufacturer that carries this case it has received from pretty stellar reviews from users and Droid websites.

Overall, the case is slightly larger but not by much and feels comfortable in the hand. The speaker does sound a little distorted when its played at the maximum level and the touch screen does seem to function slightly different, just takes some getting used to. I'm happy with it so far, I'll post some additional info in a few days.
