Z2 screen usage

[ototheb85]

Hi everyone, I have noticed my screen is using 83% batter, I have turned everything off, turned down my brightness as low as it will go, but still on 83%. Is this a hardware fault or software and how can I get the percentage below 40%

Who told you the screen is supposed to be somewhere below 40%? The screen is first when it comes to battery drain.

I just did some Googling mate, everyone seems.to be between 30 and 40 percent, mine on 83, shame I can't insert a screen shot, what kind of things drian the batter?
Thanks

Some apps might wake up the device,check if the same occurs in safe mode:

Without knowing the current battery level and how long the display has been on when you're checking this it doesn't really say anything. You can see how much the display has been on by tapping it in the list.
If you for example charge the battery full, remove the charger and have the display on for just a few minutes you would have that result. It doesn't display current usage, it displays statistics since the last charge.

Ahhh I get it now, so if I don't lock my screen from a full charge, and say, leave my phone unlocked on screen on the whole day then the percentage will be higher, I have had my phone on my desk and on all day hence the 83%.. Ahh I understand.. It's obvious. Ok thanks for the help
