Default Terrible battery life

Hmm this is just kinda disturbing. Is Facebook really that much of a battery hog? And could anything else be draining it so bad?

If I had to take a guess, I'd say the screen played a part...

Yea my screen has always taken about that much of my battery. I hear about people going a day and a half without charging their phones. I'm like, are they just not using it that whole time or what?

Yes, we don't use it at night. And we're not facebook junkies. I can only suggest finding black themed FB app, it will decrease screen usage drain.

That would help. Everything else on my phone is black themed. Even my wallpaper is just a completely black JPEG I created in Paint lol If it didn't have to completely reload everything from scratch whenever you change screens it would help too.

I can send you a black version of facebook but its the older look not the newer look. Also Im surprised that I found someone that has worse battery life then me o.o

Do you have your screen brightness down all the way?
