I’m not sure if this is in the right forum but it doesn’t really feel like a General Question so…
How much battery does your display use?
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S and since I first got it I haven’t stopped fiddling around with it and as such I get abysmal battery performance. After checking in the settings it looks as though the display is the no. 1 culprit for draining my battery, so just out of curiosity I figured out that my SGS uses 0.3 of a percent of battery power for each minute the display is on.
This means for each hour the display is on the battery expends 18% of battery power, as such the battery will be fully expended if the display is on for 5,5 hours even without the other uses of the phone. (including calling, texting, etc. :eek:)
So what I really want to know is which part of the bell curve does my dispay’s battery use fall into. Good? Normal? Bad? (and as I suspect) Seriously bad? What sort of mileage do you get out of your smartphone?
Just to have a thorough(ly boring :p) post:
Present phone battery charge : 55%
% of energy used by display : 69% (checked from settings > about phone > battery use )
Display up time: 1h 44m (checked from settings > about phone > battery use )
Display brightness : 0%
Battery expended by display :
Battery expended : 100% - 55% = 45%
Display battery use percentage : 69% * 45% = 31%
Display up time : 1h 44m = 104m
Battery use (display)/minute : 31% / 104
= 0.2985% / minute
