Question about display runtime based off battery percentage.

JimKnuckles · July 13th, 2011, 08:31 PM

My display has taken 79% of this batterys charge. Time on says 2 hrs and 10 minutes. Just want to be sure....this means that the screen has been lit for two hours?

Yes I believe so.

Yes that is correct.

Just wanted to say, your display took 79% of the amount used.

I thought this number was off. It didn't seem anywhere near two hours that my screen was in use

This is only the second 4.3" device I've owned (first being the Motorola Triumph) and I've only had it since 8/12.. I'm aware most batteries take a few days to get the full battery usage out of the device, and no doubt I've been playing with my new toy A LOT. lol..

Anyways, with the MT I would check out battery usage and the cell radio would be up to like 80% with other minor apps at like 1-5 and display would be about 15 or so.

When I check the usage for my 3vo I see display is usually 65-80%? I have my brightness set extremely dim and also have tried Auto-Brightness which is a joke..

Anyways, is this normal?? Thanks in advance!

If you read a lot of news or things like that where you leave the display on, but not using a lot of radio or CPU, then yes. I read a lot of news on my phone, and my display is usually over 55%.
