Display is showing 52% on battery use?

My display is showing 52% on battery use with the brightness cut all the way down. screen timeout is set for 2 mins? any suggestions?

sounds about right to me. screen will always be your main battery eater

even with the brightness at the lowest setting. Shouldn't be in the 20-30%? i'm not even running auto.

well it depends on what your doing. what would be using the other 70%-80%?

the next highest % is phone idle which is 12%

so even though your screen is not using much battery it is still using 52% of it since you charged...that is normal

2 minutes is a long time to wait for the screen to timeout. mine is at 30 seconds.

either way though the display will be the biggest battery eater no matter how dim you have it set.
