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

Dont think I could be dealing with 20% brightness all of the time. Mines set at that when power saver kicks in at 20% battery left, and it looks quite pants if im honest. The lowest I think the screen looks good at is probably just under 30% brightness, its a trade off between how it looks and battery drain I guess.

as others have stated it really does depend on how you use the phone with the screen on. Screen on with angry birds for an hour is different from youtube streaming for an hour which is different from taking pictures for an hour straight.

with that said, I bought a 1900 Ma battery which has done wonders for me. Today I got 10 hours out of my phone. 4.5 hours of that was with the screen on. I still had 20% left at this point. that is pretty good for me because I would not usually have the screen on consecutively or that long like I did today.

I have my screen brightness down to 70%
I juice juice Defender ultimate
I use Tasker to only increase my brightness to 100% using only certain apps (movies, gallery and camera)
I also have Tasker working to start gps only when I have Maps open.

these things have helped me tremendously.

I get on average 12-15 hours wiv quite heavy use. If I'm constantly on it listening to music an web browsing ill get about 9-10 hours but I have replaced my bat with a 1900 m bat. It was cheap an the phone stays really cool

Wow rhiannon.. you really got a very nice battery life there...i wish i have that... I guess i have to root mine and see if it helps... Did you calibrate your battery by wiping the battery stats or something like that?..

One more thing, i believe that battery life depends on how you use the phone so let me revise the question. How long can you go with your screen on while surfing the net through mobile network connection?...


Thanks for sharing guys...
