I don't know how you can achieve that much screen on time with normal use.

Only way I can think of for that, and I'm not even sure it's tracked, but maybe if you use Ultra Power Saving Mode.

Just still wondering how fast the phone is supposed to charge while you use it

I don't think there is a set answer to that

I think your looking into it too much.


Download this and see what it charges off and on screen.

I agree completely. Your device is working absolutely fine. You're trying to hard to find a problem that isn't there.

You might be right. Maybe I'm looking too into it. Social media apparently takes up a **** ton of battery. I was on instagram for a few minutes and this is what I'm looking at right now.

I usedmy friend's samsung charger so I'm hoping I didn't damage the phone. I feel like my battery got ruined the last time I used a different charger.

There are alot of factors into whatever you use your phone for. Social media apps tend to take up alot battery due to refreshing in the background. That screenshot you posted isn't completely accurate in regards to how much social media apps drain battery. We don't know how bright your screen was, types of photos (amount of detail, and therefore pixels being used), whether you were on Wifi or data, and how many photos you went through during your few minutes on instagram.

Your device seems to be working as it should.

You're right, I didn't really post any exact measurements, but yea the phone seems fine aside from those concerns. I'm starting to wonder if rarely actually turning off your smartphone is an issue? It's usually either in standby with the screen off or on a charger at night. Does anyone know if I should just be turning my phone off at night instead???

These devices are meant to be left on and used throughout the day, smartphone manufacturers know this and plan for it. If you leave it on the charger at night, once it gets to 100% there's a safeguard where your phone stops charging and just send enough power into your phone to maintain it at 100%.

Manufacturers are also aware that many people tend to use chargers that weren't packaged with their device, or even have the same type of charger. I've been using an Anker multi-USB hub to charge my various devices and all are fine. Even manufacturers of third party chargers have built in safeguards and are also aware that most devices require certain voltage and amps, which are monitored by the tech in the charger to optimize for different devices.

You can turn your phone off at night, which is completely your choice, but your use and battery life will remain the same once your phone is turned back on. It can be good practice to restart your phone every few days to clear the cache and stop any "rogue" apps from running in the background, or you can do it manually with various cache clearing apps.

Again, I think you're thinking way too much into this. Screen time varies by so many different factors that no two people are going to have the same screen time even if they have the same phone. App usage, screen brightness, signal quality, etc. all play a factor into screen time and battery life. But all that aside, social media apps are notorious for being battery drainers, it's why I restrict background data for any media apps I have, though I am only on Facebook.

Alright, what abut the whole thing with my phone charging slow with the screen on? Does anyone else notice this??

How would I go about restricting the background data?
