is anyone else experiencing super fast battery drain?

I have a Samsung SIII which until recently had never given me any worries. Recently I am experiencing battery drain like crazy and the phone doesn't recognize that it is plugged into the charger most of the time. I got to bed at 35% plug it in while I sleep and wake up to 13% or something. I have three different chargers, all legit Samsung chargers and none of them charge the phone for long. it starts off well, then somewhere in the process it just stops charging. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to the S3 4.3 android update. Everyone is having the same issues. As well as the camera light flashing when receiving phone calls.

yeah, I saw some of the little quirks after the update, I have figured out how to fix most of the things that changed except that camera flash/alarm clock fiasco. I am not sure the battery issue I am having didn't start before the update though.

A factory reset to the original factory operating system will solve the issues. However you may want to back up all your pictures/contacts because it will go back to how the phone was out of the box new.
