I've only made a significant effort to monitor and optimize battery consumption while the phone is idle. I don't have as good of an idea of the drain rate when actively using the phone with the display on. I do know it's MUCH higher than when the phone is sitting idle, which is what I'd expect. My guess would be somewhere around 15-30%/hour, maybe even more, depending on what you're doing. Most of my usage of the phone is for short periods ranging from a few seconds to 10-15 minutes at the most.
I do have one battery graph showing a time when I was using the phone pretty actively to take pictures throughout the day. You can read about it in the following post:

Well so your post makes it clear. So you are averaging around 4 to 5 hours of on screen time , thats the most a 2000mah phone can do with average use.
All I wonder is how do @sdc1 getting 5% battery drain per hour when playing halo , which is such a intensive graphics game.
@sdc1 : can you please do recheck for me , let say like this. If you have time on weekend just charge the phone to 100% and play your favourite game halo for 30 min and say the battery % drain. So it will be little help for the people over here to optimize the phone according to your setting if you get decent battery life. Well its not mandatory , if you cant do it , lets leave this.
I am still jealous of your phone @sdc1
