Pure Battery Usage Thread

[New2u]

I wanted to start this thread and give users a place to post what battery usage times they got. I would prefer that you post them from a 100% charge to a 5% charge if possible, to give a good record of how long the unit lasted and what you did with it.

At the 5% warning the following is alittle tidbit of my usage with the phone

Uptime: 21 Hours 27 Min
Talk Time: 3 Hours 10 Min
Screen Usage: 45 Min
Facebook App (looking at pictures of my god-daughter): 20 Min
App Market Place: 15 Min
Google Maps: 10 Min

Can you break this down. Are you saying that is your estimate for time of usage of each? What percentage do they account for in battery use?

 

[New2u]

Talk time was 71%
Screen usage was 4%

The other was just a breakdown of the screen usage.. The % value went away before i could get all the data.

Display - 48% 3h 11m
Phone Idle - 13% 1d 0h 9m
Voice Calls - 13$ 18m
Cell Standby - 12% 1d 3h 20m
Android sys. - 6% 24m
Browser - 4% 12m

Lol did you just have the screen on to look at it's awesomeness all day? Or was it like one of those, HEY LOOK i got a new phone moments?

It was partly the awesomeness of the screen. Mostly I was just playing around with the different features and settings trying to get used to the phone. First real smart phone that I have owned so something totally new for me.

I'd have to say this is not untypical of what my battery usage looks like. I'll routinely go the 14-15 hours between morning unplugging and night plugging back in and get down to 20% battery life left, but the display usage will be 40+%. I've got the brightness cranked down to almost nothing, but it's still way up there in the percentage. Is this a possible problem?

The only reason i laughed was because nothing else on his phone went above like 30 minutes other then his display
