Why is my DISPLAY eating 80% of my battery? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

So my battery has been great since switching to bangster's build. I loved it. Only thing that confuses me was my "about battery usage" status. It shows that my display is eating the majority of my battery. Any idea?
I'm using the latest tmousa radio. My setting is always 25% dim and no animation. I don't have live wall paper nor any widget that requires constant update.
I've attached a screenshot to show my status.

How did you get that screen? Then I can compare. I'm sure it's correct and probably normal if you think about how big it is. All those numbers are relative to each other. Your screen is going to take up the majority of your battery compared to apps, regardless of what it's set at. I bet if you set it at 100% brightness, the percentage will stay about the same.

Mine has always had similar readings regardless of build

i also got 80% ? even when i turning off the brightness :-D

Mines doesn't ever seem to take as my much but my android system does.

Wow my screens sucked sorry lol
but after about 50 mins my display was 16% and my system 60%

80 percent is pretty high.
These are my stats after being off the charger for about 8 hours. Even if I had my screen on and playing on my phone all day I have never seen dispaly that high on mine.

Maybe the app you're using isn't working correctly on the HD2 (what is that, taskkiller x?)
As long as it's a minor inconvenience like that I wouldn't worry about it...

I was running dark stone's build before this and I remember system taking the majority of the load so I was just concern about my display setting.
I have task killer but not set to autokill. I'm stumped on this. Maybe it is normal since my battery life is better than ever.
Maybe I should post this question in bangster's thread to see if other users of this build experience similar things.

Yea i used some free one called screenshot, looks fine on my phone not when I uploaded it. I feel my battery is pretty good coming from a Sprint touch diamond whose battery is horrible and being that I use WiFi a lot.

The screen using an average of 80% of the battery is nothing unusual. I have just checked mine and after 13 hours I have 58% of battery power left and the display has used 75% of it.

How much do you use your phone a day?
Mines is weird. I am already at 82% and it's been only a few hours off the plug.
What the heck? If you check my signature, I think I have a decent build. Ugh. ANy Ideas? PLZ!

Display using the most battery power

I have the Telus Fascinate which is the same as the Tmobile Vibrant.
I notice that when checking my battery usage that the display is using a whopping 92% of the battery. Is there a fix to reduce it?
I have automatic display unchecked and display brightness to 0.
Sent from my SGH-T959D using XDA App
Nope, but then that doesn't mean the display has used up 98% of the battery the whole time the phone has been on. I could be wrong, but the way I read that info is when the phone is awake, the screen uses the most power in relation to the other listed items. I've noticed on days when I have alot of phone calls, it listed the radio instead of display as the top user.
If you want more detailed usage, I think spare parts shows full battery stats. But I use an app called Battery Left and it has access to the full battery stats.
Thanks!
I will look into both of those apps.

Actually it is.
For a average user, meaning not too much phone calls etc. Display WILL always and SHOULD always be the highest.
It just says that theres no other apps acting up.
but it is good to look at MORE detailed stats than the default one though, its not that accurate.
1 hour of display time will use approximately 20% of your battery. This is and always will be the case.

I meant that the stats where it says more than 90% of battery had been drained on display is false. As apps and other daily uses usually contributes about 35-70% of that usage.
Screen brightness doesn't have that HUGE devastation on the battery, when it's in normal percentage ofcourse.
if you're worried about your display draining the battery use the app called screen filter. works like a charm
Also, I'm not sure if this is for rooted phones only, but typing *#*#4636#*#* pulls up usage statistics like battery information and battery history. I think it gives you a better idea of what's going on with your battery.

Some KB5 Tweaks I've Noticed

-MUCH improved battery life..55% left with about 23 hours after unplugging..wifi was on and played a good amount of angry birds (light to moderate use otherwise)
-brought back notification bar brightness adjustment thingy
-charges MUCH faster as well
-wifi doesn't crash
-no noticeable performance changes
-media scanning seems to be faster
Might edit this post later...just a little info for those updating.. :|

your just turning your phone on to check time or something, thats just not possible.
I can get 15 hours max, i've gotten 20 but with the minimalest use ever.
I have no data plan, so i use wifi all the time, and even with that, i dont get that kind of battery life, your just ****ing with me bud.
I'm not...serious about that.results may vary anyway. My brightness wasn't really too high. I would have

You can get 24+ hours just on overstock + trigger.
Beleive it or not, once when I left to work, I had 9% battery and I was like !!, so i turned off wifi, data, sync. and sed phone just to check for msgs etc and maybe 1 call.
When I got back home after ~9 hrs, I had 5% battery and I was pretty amazed. True story, take it or leave it.
I m on KB1 and right now 17hours on %52. So it is possible but it all depends on the usage.

The problem with people posting their drain times is that light use for you and me might be considered heavy use by the OP. With that said, if you properly want to tell people how good your battery is, post your screen on time. At least that gives an idea as to how good your battery is in comparison to something we can also measure.

the DEFAULT settings for battery usage is the most inaccurate.
Use another app from the market, that shows like a line graph of when you charged etc.
I have MIUI, so i know my battery life is horrible.
What other improvements...
Other than battery life what other improvements did this update bring. When I updated my wife's phone to 2.2 she said it was crap. Visual voice mail did not work properly which was a big deal to her.
Did this update have any other improvements?
Well not really other than the OP. No real overall performance changes. Just about as fast or slow as froyo depending on what you think about it.

If you literally do nothing on it (other than leave it on), a fairly new battery will drain slower than that. Mine will last a couple days if all I do is turn the screen on to check the time.
After I put 2.2 on my phone I noticed that vvm kept running in the background and was draining the battery. Was this fixed?

I have to concur with the posting, I forgot to plug in my phone yesterday so when I got up this morning it had been 27 hours since I last plugged in and I was at 56% left according to my battery widget running Bi-Winning with overstock version1.4, I got to say this much improved battery life surprised me. i do not have my screen @ 45% I run @ 60% bright
I get faster data transfer as well. So this is all good...... Too bad Samsung took 8 Months to figure out how to code a decent modem......

Nexus S battery

Hi did anyone experiance this kind of battery consumption? 3days 14hours and 45min and still have like 7%?
Not personally, I use my phone too much to get that kind of life out of it. Based on what I know about the drain when it's screen off and sleeping, though, I think it's well within the realm of possibility with light use.
I get like 24 hours out of mine... with some light-moderate use... used to be better when I bought it but then after installing some apps it just starts degrading a bit I guess
Well, rechargable batteries do degrade over time, and the more apps you have on a device, generally the less time it will last on battery, partially because those that run in the background consume more system resources and partially because those that update data in the background will keep your phone "awake" more of the time.
If I wasn't using my phone and just let it idle (sync on, airplane mode off) I'd get like 12 days of battery life. That's what I like about the NxS, unlike other smartphones it does actually last longer when not used.
hi
i am getting around 10 to 12 hours. wifi always on. mostly watching youtube videos. netbrwosing. gaming.
2g phone calling
still i think i am getting reasonably good back up
Disabling wifi,gps,bluetooth and reducing screen brightness will improve battery life.

That's no issue, but working as intended.
Other phones are using the same technique, but they are hiding it by showing the 100% the phone never reached, that's why they drop to 95-97%ish right after unplugging and from there drain normally.
I experienced battery drowning after using app's like maps or latitude. I had to kill them manually, now I'm cleaning the phones memory regularly. That safes a lot of battery life for me on the one hand, but on the other hand loading app's isn't as fast as before.
It's the classical trade-off between battery life an usability. And 10-12 hours are normal for me if I'm using my phone a lot.

Well, depends on the manuf. if they want to "hide" it or not, they could also set 95% capacity as "100%" displayed. All batteries got a safety feature of some kind

So 95% is the new 100% because my phone won't charge to 100%. It just stops at 95%.

[Q] Nexus 4 on order, arrival soon, what can I expect ;) ?

So, they have apparently sorted out the stock and supply problem. I <cough> borrowed the wife's credit card and have placed the order.
They say it will ship in 1 to 2 weeks, I can live with that.
The light-hearted question I have is, once I've gotten over the excited rush of playing with the phone for a while, what have your experiences been? Good or bad! I've heard that the battery life is not great but to be honest I am not so bothered with that. I have a charger and work, and home, in the car - I can even charge it at the pub/bar I go to
Keep an eye out for issues worthy of an RMA. From there, the only thing to expect is awesomeness. You'll want to calibrate the screen color and gamma, though.
Has battery life been that bad? Because I just ordered one myself to replace my wife's 3GS.

yes battery life is very bad on this device. in sleep/standby its great. but when you do something, it drains battery very fast. just 5minutes use and at least 10% are gone.

Utter tripe. You either have a rouge app, or you have the brighness turned up full or something else stupid.
I easily get a full day out mine with moderate use. It's about 50%-60% remaining when I get home in the evening from work.
I got around 3 hours of screen on time and a full 18-20 hours standby on stock rom with the usual useage of whatsapp and gmail syncing, with web use and texting etc, and now on custom rom, I am getting up to 4.5 hours screen on.
So, battery is good, phone is super fast and smooth, camera is great if you take time to learn how to use it and especially with HDR on and a bit of post picture editing. Only down side is music volume and quality which is average at best. In my opinion.
Thanks for the feedback. I just hope my wife can make the transition from iOS to android.
I think depending whether you are on WiFi or HSPA will make a huge difference for battery. From what I understand, when using HSPA, the standby battery life is horrible.
The screen is usually the single biggest threat to your battery. And the N4 can get 4-6 hours of "screen on" time depending on use. As others have said, it can be on standby for 15+ hours, but you can completely kill the battery in 4 hours or less if you are using a cpu intensive app.
Custom roms and battery saving apps can def help out though.
I ordered mine at 3pm on wednesday and it was with me by 3pm on thursday .. so slightly quicker than the 1-2 weeks they quote!
Unlock the boot loader, doesn't matter if you decide on staying stock or what. Having your boot loader unlocked right of the bat allows you to keep your apps if you do decide to root /flash.

You'll sadly probably find that the screen is *uneven* in it's tint (yellow probably) and brightness. Because it's uneven, "calibrating" will help a little maybe but will not fix any issues with the screen. On the other hand, with luck (which I wish you) you may find that your screen is pretty much perfectly uniform in brightness and tone top to bottom, left to right. (Check using the Mail app and minimise the keyboard) I've had 5 so far and none of them are acceptable to me. Otherwise the phone is truly incredible in use. Buttery smooth, responsive, great. The screen very generally is amazing too. It's just not even as it should be. Let me know how yours is - i'd be interested to know because if yours has good uniformity I'll order another. Good luck!

Well expect battery drain issues (msm_hsic_host wakelock).

[Q] battery?? not up to par.

My last phone until my Sprint G2 was the original EVO with the original battery so I couldn't wait until I got the G2 the other day. However I dont seem to be getting the battery life that I hear others talk about. With mod/heavy use while getting everything set up and learning about phone the back gets hot around the volume/power switch area. I havent really even been watching videos, mainly getting on Dolphin browser. what do you guys think?

I see my display is using 60% of battery.. The brightness display setting is set at auto 80%. I checked auto but it seems to keep what ever % that I have even when auto is checked? What brightness setting do you have set?
Thanks again
That is a base brightness when auto is checked. Set it lower. I tend to keep mine 35%.
That looks terrible. Im at 48% with 3+ hrs screen on time. And 7+ hrs expected left. I have my brightness at 33 most of the day. Also second day with the phone.
I would be a bit worried unless you have your brightness cranked and all setting checked on...

Auto bright doesn't really work on this phone. LG can't get it right. How long was your screen on, and what do you have on in the background? GPS? Bluetooth? WiFi? If your screen was on most of the time, that's pretty spot on.

Ohh and auto bright does nothing at all lol, at least it wasnt like the Galaxy S3 that would be either extremly bright or dull

It's not supposed to run hot at all. Do a factory reset and see if that corrects your problem. If not, exchange the phone for another one. It may be defective

What are you expecting out of your phone? Screen burns most of the battery. Even the g2 doesn't have that much battery strength. Hell, most phablets don't. I get 5 hours of life on 40% brightness, heavy usage, screen on most of the time.
I'm not saying it isn't possible to have it brighter and get great life, it depends on other parameters too.

What are you doing on your phone? Must suck to buy a top of the line phone and can only use it 5 hrs with a dim lit screen. and dont tell me 40% looks good cause it doesent! One of the main points was this phone has great battery life so either something wrong with our phones or all the reviews didnt use it much. Im getting no difference with this one than my 4 yr org EVO with org battery. Enjoy charing a plug and looking for an outlet all day Im not.

You basically got 5 hours of screen on time with 40% left?

No.. It was off the charger for the 5hrs not all screen on time. A little more than mod use. Setting up checking out stuff. I was not on it the entire time plus it would get hot while charging. I've have now a replacement on the way. It was getting hot around the top of phone, buttons and ear piece. I don't know just doesn't seem right. And about people putting brightness at 35-40 % is crazy.. At least on my phone its way to dark to enjoy.

An easy way to get that little extra batterylife is to unbox Googles right to get your position using WiFi. I discovered that during nights i lost about 8% even though my screen was off and i didn't use the phone, all due to that service. Now i Only loose 1% in 7-8 hours.
Typical use for me.
My Nexus 4 with the same usage patterns wouldn't last 10 hours, and I'm syncing 3 emails and all Google services. Color me satisfied.

What are you doing on your phone? Must suck to buy a top of the line phone and can only use it 5 hrs with a dim lit screen. and dont tell me 40% looks good cause it doesent! One of the main points was this phone has great battery life so either something wrong with our phones or all the reviews didnt use it much. Im getting no difference with this one than my 4 yr org EVO with org battery. Enjoy charing a plug and looking for an outlet all day Im not.

I'm having the same problem as you. However my battery life out the box started out great. I could use the phone for almost two days without needing a charge. I "bent" the phone two weeks ago when I was trying to get it out of the quickwindow case and since then the battery life has been total crap. I barely get half a day off my phone with the same usage. I really don't understand whats going on with the battery.
