There is a cell standby issue where the radio / modem / baseband is using more power than it should. That will be fixed soo Im sure.


As for the screen, Im not sure what your issue is. All those %'s must add up to 100% so obviously if your screen is on, its going to use more % than if its off.

You may even see your screen using as much as 70% some times. The question is so what? Its only a % of the amount of battery use that far. It doesnt actually mean anything other than that. Try not to get too involved with that screen.

The only way of really measuring battery life and screen on time is like this:

1) how long did your phone last before it was empty
2) how long was your screen on in total

Ohk .... so a guy here told me he plays nova 3 for 1 or 1 and a half hour and his only 15% battery drains.... with 50% brittness and wifi on

But in my case lowest britness.... and i play nova 3 for 11 mins with wifi off

And my battery goes down 15 tl 20%....

So is that guy ****ing with me....
Or i the one who thinks he is wrong and gettin ****ed...!!!!

my battery isn't well too..
12 hours wi fi on and I must recharge it again..
but I think is a cost because of a high hardware specification
and
of course mobile signal

Coming from a Nexus, I'm so happy with the battery life. Flashed Cyanogen the other day and now even better!
