I had one gripe about the Galaxy SIII, the battery life. It looked like “Cell Standby” was eating up my battery. I thought it was a problem with the modem firmware and would have to wait for a firmware update to fix it. I was losing 30% overnight.. not cool.

For me the problem turned out to stem...

 The CyanogenMod team has announced the release of an Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean) mod based on CM10 - the nightly build - for a number of Samsung devices, including the Galaxy S3 (US variants), the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 7, as well as the ASUS Transformer and Transformer Prime.  (via CM10 Android 4.1.1 Nightly Firmware Available for Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 - International Business Times)

And it's cheaper

I had seen this tip awhile ago but finally got around to implementing it myself.

Disable the double-tap home button shortcut to S-Voice.

The response to a press of the home button lags with this on because it’s waiting to see if you’ll press the button again and change its response...

All Share Play

This feature uses the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) to enable you to share content to your other DLNA-capable devices. With All Share Play, you can do the following:

Group Cast — phone-to-phone presentation sharing

Share Shot — gives you instant access to another device up to 50 yards away so you can share photos, etc

You do have to create a free All Share Play account for this feature. Once you’ve created the account, any devices associated with that account can immediately share content. [Note: This is not the same as the standard All Share application.]

S Beam

This nifty feature uses Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to get past the Bluetooth pairing process. Basically, you can share content with another Galaxy S III user by gently bumping the backs of the phones together. Once you’ve activated S Beam, you can take a photo of an event or whatever and share that photo with a colleague later by simply bumping S III backs together.

Here’s how to enable this feature:

Tap the menu button

Tap Settings

Tap More Settings

Tap S Beam

Slide the On/Off slider to the right to switch it on

Now, to beam a specific photo, open the photo in the Gallery app, and then bump the back of your S III against the back of your colleague’s S III.

S Suggest

This unique feature discovers and recommends apps for you to try based on your usage pattern, your device, and the popularity of the apps. S Suggest is actually an app you run (found within the app drawer) and has a similar look and feel to the Google Play Store

I tested S Suggest and found it to be a fairly accurate snapshot of my usage and installed apps (based on the abundance of apps I have associated with my Google Play Store for all testing and personal devices).

From within S Suggest, you can sort apps by:

(Top) Picks

Category

Games

Friends

For the Friends feature to work, you must log into social networking through S Suggest, and give S Suggest permission to share data with the app.

Smart Stay

Picture this… you’re reading a long text, email, web site, or video chatting with a colleague. Every so often, you have to touch your screen to keep it from dimming — but not with the S III. The Smart Stay feature prevents the screen from dimming while you’re looking at it. Smart Stay is based on built-in facial recognition and allows the device to “look” for your eyes to be focused on the screen. If your eyes are focused on the S III, the screen will not dim. [Note: This feature may not work for someone wearing glasses.]

Smart Stay is disabled by default. To enable the feature, follow these steps:

Tap on the menu button

Tap Settings

Tap Display

Tap Smart stay to enable
