A quick question about the "Battery Use" menu

I had this phone (LG Esteem), for about a month. And whenever I go to the Battery Use menu, it only displays them 3 programs (in the attached photo). When I used to have the Huawei Ascend, I was able to see other programs that used to take up battery, like; FB, Twitter, etc. But now I don't :/ Is there a way to fix this?

That statement is false.

I took these screenshots not more than 5min ago (GMT +8 in my location):

To the OP. From what I can tell, it will only tell you what services were running since the last time ti was unplugged.
 
Mine only shows the same three as the OP, plus display. It never shows any apps. Huawei Mercury, 2.3.5. Maybe it depends on the phone?
PS- off topic, but 95% for Android system seems odd. I've never seen close to that. It's usually in the single digits.

That's quite normal if you don't have any apps running (for example new phone and no background apps) and from the last charge to checking the phone was on standby (like if you were sleeping). There would be nothing else using the battery.

So for example I have a new phone, charged it up, then went to sleep and woke up with the phone at 90% charge. Checking battery usage would reveal that Android system could have around 80-90% battery usage (out of the 100% of the 10% it used).
 
You can use a program called Better Battery Stats to really find out what's draining your phone.

Yea. I'm always going back and fourth, on my phone. Whether its apps, or browsing the web. No matter what, it will never show nothing else, but those three programs :/
