After a week of getting my Galaxy S I have yet to set it down for over a couple of hours without playing with it, love it! Only problem with this is that my battery gets drained super quick. When I'm at home I plug it in, at work ditto, aaarrghhh!! But that's what you get for buying a smartphone, eh?
After checking my battery stats it seems as though the display is the biggest drain. So with nothing to do, a pen and a bit of paper I am happy to report:
For every minute my display is on my battery expends 0.3 of a percent of battery power. 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. )
That sounds like a lot but I don't have any comparisons so I can't say if this is normal or not. So fellow SGS users, I need your help to satiate my curiosity. What's your display battery use?
Just to have a thorough post here's how I came up with the above.
Present phone battery charge : 55%
% of energy used by display : 69% (checked from settings > about phone > battery use )
Display up time: 1h 44m
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
