Hey Guys, I was looking in the power section in settings and saw that "Screen" was using 64% of the battery. I have had It go from 40% to 80%. I was just wondering if this is normal, and is this the power the display is using or something else. I am urgent to know. Does anyone else have similar stats to this in their Power section of settings on a HTC Desire X.
Thanks,
Joe
That's a huge battery drain
I have this drain when I have 100 %brightness and all animations on. Now i have around 30-40 % screen usage (25% brightness and no animations)

What apps are you using and what did you use it for the most?

I use the Phone App, Messages, Bad Piggies and occasionally Temple Run 2. On my home screen I use the stock HTC launcher with 1 BeautifulWidgets Widget and a few shortcuts.

64% doesn't mean your screen is using too much, it just means you don't use a lot of other apps. It's in percentage, not amount of energy used.
If you would have two apps both using 20% of the battery, and nothing else, your screen would be 60%. If you have five apps all taking up 15%, your screen would be 25%.
I mean, my screen takes up 70% now, and that doesn't have anything to do with brightness, cause it's set as low as possible. It's just affected by the amount of apps running.

Fahrenheit?
SetCPU displays the batt. temp. in F.
BatteryLife widget will show you temp too. In C or F
Same for Battery Monitor Widget.
thanks for the replies. I really like the HTC battery widget so ill have to try another if i want farenheight. Stupid HTC! lol
is there a simple app to keep track of the amount of time its been since you last plugged the phone into an outlet?
just want to know how long my phones been running on battery
i know the phone has a stock battery info on gingerbread but i can have my phone plugged in and it still says running on battery,and you have to pay attention to the lil dots underneath to figure out how long actually its been running on battery
i was using battery snap, which had that option, but according to system panel app, it was drawing way too much CPU/battery
any simple suggestions?
Drainguard. Loads of extra info.
Battery widget.

are you using lightflow or any other battery monitoring app?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
'alarm' means a wake lock caused by a notification. If your led flashes a wake lock is always caused (on any phone).
It's part of the reason samsung never included led notification lights until now.
As for the battery monitor wake lock I am almost certain its the better battery stats app that causes that.
If you want true reflection of wake locks change the preferences in that app so it shows you time spent in wake lock while screen is off. Any wake lock while the screen is on doesn't really effect the battery anyway...

Hi,
I'm thinking about to come back to an AOSP ROM but I need SmartStay features...can the new app ISeeYou be a good replacement on AOSP ROM? Anyone is using it (PRO version) on aosp? thanks
I know this might sound stupid but have you thought about just creating a widget to lock screen on instead, seems a much better use of battery resources imho, but then I have a real thing about all of Samsungs novelty apps,, so I am biased! Who can watch a video and do other things at the same time?! But hey, that's just me!

No no, I agree with you for the video features but during work it's very usefull for me to use smartstay features...Otherwise, I never thought about this solution, I'm thinking about of setting screen timeout on 5m and even creating a widget to lock screen, is it your way?

Yeah, I just use widgetsoid from the market, what it does is lock screen up to the max timeout, 1hr? So even if you forget to turn off I think it will turn off after 1 hour, and it works even in the dark, .......Samsung

also with widgetsoid I'm pretty sure you can create widget to toggle screen timeout to any of the system presets, even better....why didn't I think of that?! Silly me...doh!

I just installed this on my S3 running CM 10.
It does not work at all. It actually makes it so the screen never turns off.
I'm also using Widget Locker which also has a screen timeout function, and I've tried it with that disabled and enabled.
For reading long articles and playing WordsWith Friends, I would love to gain this feature back.
Any help or tips would be preferred.

Other than being rooted I am totally stock. But it wasn't showing even before root. I'm not running a launcher either. I like sense to much.

The "Battery Saving" mode works well and no noticeable impact on battery life.

Yeah I know. I always have my battery saver on. I don't need all the processing power available and putting connections to sleep as soon as screen shuts off is just more logical.
