Battery: 20%
Usage: 5hrs, 47min
Standby: 1Day, 9 hrs
Call time since charge: 38min
Internet (web surfing, email, youtube,weather, etc) approx 3.5 hrs on wifi
Ipod: approx 45min

Wifi is on, but ask to join networks is off
bluetooth is off always
brightness is set on auto with the bar at 50%

Please, let me know if this is normal because i've been reading of better times like many of you, and I also have a 7 series screen. Thanks in advance.

Brightness is at 50% eh this is kinda high.

I have mine at maybe 10% (above/between the Br in Brightness)
It also helps if you turn auto brightness off and keep it as low as you can.
I am averaging 6-8 hours of usage as well.

Your battery is not a dud battery like my first one (less than 10% all the time)
