Default is losing 1% battery per every 2 minutes 20 seconds bad battery on GB?

This is,with screen on. This seems really excessive, or am I wrong?

2 minutes 20 seconds is 2.33 minutes, so 2.33 x 100=233 minutes or a little under 4 hours, which isn't too bad of screen on time, but you can get better depending on your setup.

Well you should probably one click back to el29 rooted and go from there since you gave us no info on your setup

Biggest help with screen on time is to turn the brightness down as low as possible...

ive never actually had anything help my battery life significantly like this free app i found today. try it out, im still amazed that I'm still at 80%. it seems that screen display had always been my issue. check it out though pretty cool.
