Battery Usage - Screen at 76%

[ksw144]

Hey,

I know the battery issue has been talked about a ton with 2.2... Everything software wise seems to be using a normal amount of juice. My issue is that the screen absolutely kills my battery.

With light-moderate use, I am regularly at 76% of my use from the screen. If I turn up the brightness, I can almost watch the battery meter tick down...

Is this normal? Anyone else have similar issues?

Thanks!

Its normal. The screen will always consume the largest amount. Don't be surprised if it goes higher.

Understand that the percentage of battery usage is pretty much useless information. The display is always going to be the highest % of use since it draws the most power. If you start seeing the display using less %, it only means that something else in the phone has started drawing more.

As you start running battery saving apps and low-power kernels, you'll only see the % of battery used by the screen increase.
