Could we get some more information? What type of phone do you have? What version of Android are you running? Was the battery better when you first got it?

You could go into settings, then to Application Manager and stop some of the processes from there that you're not using. Be careful not to stop any system processes though. If your phone has any power saving features, you could use them. Also, bluetooth, wifi, 4G/3G etc all drain battery. If you're not using them, turn them off. It's also possible that your battery is going bad, and can no longer hold a charge properly.

So is that saying you were down to 22% battery at that point? because the list of battery consumption shows percentages <i>of what has been consumed</i>. So, my phone usually has Android system at the top too, but when it says 70%, it's taken 70% of the 20% that has been used up in total...

So is this what's listed in the battery manager, or out of the total battery?

Was your battery life ever good? If so, then your battery is probably just having trouble keeping a charge and you'll need to get a replacement.

Android System is the OS. It's the main interface of your phone. It's using 92% of your battery which is expected. That means out of all of your applications that are using the battery, Android is using the most (all of your applications that are using the battery should add up to 100% in total). Obviously, the more apps that you have open, the lower that number will become. It doesn't seem like you have any other apps open, so the Android System is using the most amount of battery at that time.

That may just be as long as your battery lasts. You could try to replace the battery if you think that could be it. You could also buy an external battery to keep your phone charged a bit longer.
