How much battery drain when screen on

Fcltd1

I'm happy with my Edge but where I used to get through a day with moderate use, now I find the phone running dry early evening.

Using various apps, I can see the average screen on drain is 20%.

Does this sound correct?

If so, what steps would you advise to try and work out what the problem is - battery usage continually shows Android System and OS as the biggest users, but I guess Internet is part of the former.

Thanks in advance!
 
Sorry, hear it is...

Your screen shot shows it's been off the charger for 26+ hours and is down to 28%. Doesn't seem too bad to me, without more details.

A good test for rouge apps is to charge it up to 100% and unplug it while you sleep. Mine will lose 2-3% in 7 hours doing that. If your loss is much greater than that, you have some background process draining your battery. And those can be hard to find. GSAM might give you some help there, but it can be hard to find the bad apple(s) if it doesn't point to them.
