Display is using 65% Battery-- Is that normal?

My display is using about 65% of my battery. How can I check the time the display is on?

I also keep my brightness at the lowest possible setting and have the screen turn off at 15 secs

However, I am using the default wallpaper right now
 
No this is not normal, my Vibrant does the same after that stupid JI6 update that messed up my battery! The display is always using Some energy while the phone is on.. You will just have to wait until another update comes out to fix this crazy problem.
 
Even if you have 99% of your battery full, it'll still show that 65% of battery use is the screen: That's because 65% of that 1% was screen use.


It doesn't mean that 65% of your battery is used up already.
 
my battery life has sucked since the j16 update too. i know when samsung put the j15 update, that also fixed the gps for me, and my battery life was still great. i could go 2-3 days without charging, and im on my phone all the time. however, i had to replace my phone and the one i got had the j16 update. now my battery life sucks. i don't want to ask about an exchange, cause there's nothing that tmobile sells that matches the vibrant. well, android wise. sure, you can get a nexus s, but tmobile doesn't deal them, it's all sold through best buy. the only other phone i could think that would rival the vibrant from tmobile is the htc hd7. yes, it is a windows phone, but i like the new wp7 OS. i'm an avid xbox live gamer and have a zune account so it'll work great for me. i only had to replace the vibrant once though, and it was a problem with the j16 update trying to install itself. my only complaint now is 2.2. does it make me upset? kinda... i want flash. that's the only reason i want froyo, and i'm not very knowledgable when it comes to flashing new roms. otherwise i would have mine overclocked to 1.6 GHz, and have froyo on it already. it's rooted, that's it. i just undid the lag fix with the once click lag fix from the market place.
