How long can you go with your screen-on after a full charge?

[jomblass]

Hey guys... I just wanna know how long does it take your sensation to drain your battery while your screen-on... I have my brightness set to 50% and after 2 hours of screen-on, the battery is dead... I mean full charge to shutdown... Please share your experience and some advise to improve this... Thanks in advance...

Depends on other factors too but my screen on time usually falls somewhere between 3-4 hrs. However, like I said that is not the only thing effecting your battery life.

Well, watching a 40 minute TV show on mine uses 20% of battery with screen set to 100% brightness, so 2 hours should leave about 40% of battery.

This would suggest there's either something else using your battery, or there's something wrong with your phone/battery

5 hours if I'm really conservative with the brightness.

Sigh... i guess there is really something wrong with mine.. and i can't really find what is eating my battery... When it's idle with 3g on, it does not consume anything at all, may be just 3% for 3 hours.. but when i start to turn on the screen, battery life begins to drain so fast...and that is only at 50% brightness... This is just frustrating.. anyways, thanks for sharing guys... Much appreciated

It really depends on how u use ur phone, like me for ex. I use it as a music player also, so say when I'm driving I'm playing music bt screen is not on so by the time actual screen time is on, batt will have drained some thus giving me less display time per charge. (or playing a game). There's been a time I got a lil over 4 hours bt dint play music/games tho. And my fone is always on auto brightness

My battery drains more when its on standby. When its on it will drain less

i have it since one week then i play too much with it ... 2 or 3 hours
i tried too much rom and to much kernel

Can anyone confirm that setting the brightness to auto will save more power?.. i read something in the other thread that it will consume more power because it will always try to sense which is the suitable brightness for the current environment you are into... Correct me if i'm wrong please...

Depends how I use my phone, and also how good the signal is. I would say 4 - 5 hours on average. I got 5 hrs 10 mins the one day last week

Screen brightness set around 30%.

 

[jomblass]

That's nice... I envy you having able to squeeze 5 hours of your screen-on time..

Always set to auto brightness, feels like no matter what I do with the phone whether it's heavy gaming or light usage, the screen-on time gets to about 3 hours before the battery goes.

It has been the same for me on stock, rooted, custom ROMs, I get on average 4-5 hrs. Two Sensations in the house, mine running custom get's 4 -5 hrs, Mom's on pure non rooted stock gets the same, she got hers yesterday.

Low brightness, but that's still pretty amazing.
