Help! Is it normal or even okay for the S3 to be having the Screen use 50% of the battery? Every other program that I have on the phone isn't using much of the battery, but I thought I'd check with others to see if this is normal. If not, what settings should I have it to? I have it currently set to auto brightness.

Thanks!

Mine is running 57% of battery usage..makes sense because it is a large display. I adjust my screen from 100% when Im outside to 65% or 70% indoors.

Dont worry about it.

Yes that is normal for just about every phone with a color touch screen.

Mine is using 65% of the battery. I keep it at around 65-70% capacity all the time (stopped using auto because it made the internet too dark) and the battery is discharging very slowly and there are no problems.
