A new WP user here and I wanna check what is the screen on time I get after a full charge.

Not the standby time, the 'screen-on' time. Is it possible to check it?

please clarify what you mean by "screen on time" are you referring to Battery length or the time it takes for the screen to "time out"??

Sorry, you're out of luck. There isn't an app that can supply that info. Probably due to MS not allowing it. Closest thing those apps can show is "up time", which youre not asking for.

yes go to settings - glance- activate- peak

I have a 920, and I can't follow your directions here. I'm not sure you understand what he's looking for. He evidently came from Android where you can go into Settings and check stats like screen on time (how much time the screen was actually lit up since the last full charge) and Up time (how long since the phone has been running since the last boot). Like these:

I don't believe WP has either of these statistics, unless I just haven't found them.

Thanks for the help, guys. @tgp got it right, I was asking for how long the screen has been on, not glance!
Disappointing to hear that's not available in WP, that's a really useful thing to analyze battery life.
