How long can s3 battery last

There's a new feature with Samsung's "Adapt Sound", something that I've never felt does as lot. In short it attempts to optimise the sound to your own hearing, something that is likely to appeal to older users. Smart dialling is also included; pressing the numbers will call up the corresponding letters, making tapping the easiest way to get to 'Dad'.

A decent keyboard experience is a necessity for smartphones, and this is an area that the Galaxy S3 hasn't let me down. As time has gone past I have found that I am getting more accustomed to the Swype style input, something that has been included in the Galaxy S3's settings menu.

Text input, either through that aforementioned swiping, or through tapping the screen is incredibly accurate. It isn't on the same level as the likes of SwiftKey, a keyboard that I would recommend immensely, especially as it is now free. But it is certainly more than adequate for those that don't want the hassle of downloading a third party app, or want to maximise the space on the SD card. Those that want to make the most of their included data plan, or even their Wi-Fi, will likely be looking at using the Galaxy S3 for mobile browsing and emails.

Each one also comes with two apps, something that I really implore all manufacturers to take a look at. I can get the sense in multiple email apps as one is a dedicated Gmail app, and the other a generic email app but having both a native and Chrome web browser just doesn't make sense, especially as both apps seem to operate in an identical manner.

There isn't a lot to say about the email apps, other than they cover just about every feature that you can think of, and can be set up almost instantly by pulling down all the necessary data from your email providers. The same goes for the internet apps, both providing a decent experience when browsing the world wide web although I would suggest that the Chrome app is more useful as it syncs across all your Chrome enabled devices.

Change the weather update frequency. You can adjust how often the watch asks for weather information. Open the Wearable app on your phone, tap Apps , tap the gear next to Weather , then set the auto-refresh to your desired interval. Every six hours is a good option. Minimize notifications. Limiting the number of apps that send notifications to the watch can help the battery.

Turn off S-Voice listening. S-Voice is the assistant built into the Gear S3. By default, S-Voice listens for the activation phrase all the time. To turn that off, go to your apps and choose S Voice. Tap the ellipsis the three dots , then tap Voice wake-up. Turn off heart rate detection. Samsung Health is fairly aggressive in measuring your heart rate. It measures your heart rate continuously, every ten minutes, or never. Even when limited to every ten minutes, this takes a toll on battery life.

Turn off location services. The GPS in your watch can drain the battery quickly, depending on how often the watch requests your location. Turn off Near Field Communication. Also known as NFC , the watch often uses this wireless transfer protocol for mobile payments. If you don't use mobile payments, you can probably turn this off. Turn off Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi on your watch is mostly useful for maintaining a connection with your phone when you leave it on your desk and walk away.

Without Wi-Fi, the watch relies on Bluetooth to stay connected to the phone. Disable automatic updates. While automatic updates are recommended to stay current with the latest software, checks can cause unnecessary battery drain.

It's also easy to check for Galaxy Watch updates manually. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Battery life varies by use, cellular coverage, configuration and many other factors; actual results will vary.
