the power consumption

[sorrow1988]

I spent a week watching how my z3 consumes power. At first i thought it was the data transferred that causes the major consumption, but i came to a fact that it was the screen.
So how can I reduce the power consumed by screen cuz it only giving my a hard time spending the whole day beside a power supply to charge the phone...

That is normal. The screen consumes a lot of power.

The more you use the screen. the faster the battery will drain, there's no way around it, you could disable x reality or super vivid mode under
