I am having this really weird battery issue with my GS3. Please help!

[TheSpaceGuy]

My GS3 is giving me inaccurate battery readings or isn't charging at all. I would charge the phone for three hours and it would say that it has a full charge. 10 minutes later I would check my phone and it is down to 40%. I then remove the battery from the phone for a few minutes, put it back in, and now it would say I have a 90% charge. This keeps happening over and over. I took it to AT&T and they replaced my battery. The problem is still on going so there has to be another problem. Anyone else ever have a similar problem, and if so what was the problem and how did you fix it?

Thank you!

Welcome to the forum

Have you installed any power management apps or used any task killers?

Thank you! No I have not installed any power management apps. And I have not used any task killers.

Install the Gsam battery app and see if you get the same crazy stuff going on.
