Another 1 1/2 hours passed and 58% battery...I am not even on LTE. Also all background tasks are turned off.
Someone may have mentioned this already-
run the battery out completely 2-3 times. Mine was pretty bad until I let it calibrate by running it til it turned the phone off, then charged to full. Now I'm getting pretty good life out of the thing.

I have done this since I got the phone on Friday and no luck...

Just ran a diagnostic on mine and getting 3.985v-4.009v and 93-103mA


That is what I am seeing too. No issues here. I What is the estimated time remaining on your Settings > Battery Saver?

Also keep in mind that your battery life depends on your location and distance from tower, AT&T network settings etc.

It has been another hour and I am down to 84%. I haven't used the phone at all in the last hour. The estimated time left is 1 day and 5 hours, but we know that is a lie.

Also I submitted this issue to Mary Jo Foley at ZDNet and she responded to me...so maybe since she has some power in the tech world, we can get some answers from Nokia.

Mine seems terrible as well, at least compared to my iPhone 4. I have only 1 live tile updating weather once an hour. Disabled just about every apps background abilities, no email syncing, just wifi and 4G (200 yards from tower, not LTE). Was 85% when I went to bed and 8 hours of idling later it was 74%, not sure if thats bad but it looked like it. Playing Wordament I can practically watch it drain, and poking letters doesn't seem that intensive. Don't think I could make it through the day with even light use.

So another hour has passed and all I did was check my Twitter feed. My battery is was at 84% an hour ago and now at 80%. It is getting slightly better but that is still 4% in an hour for checking a Twitter feed for less then a minute.

mine is ~4.1V and 85-100mA at home (hspa+ and connected to wifi)

bt off, 2 push email accounts, a handful of live tiles going.

i'm still getting a day of usage (12-18hrs) out of it with battery to spare.

hspa+ good to excellent reception around home and LTE moderate to good reception around work.

It's been another hour...down from 80% to 73% on light use. I think I am going to turn BT off to see if that helps

It has been about another hour and this time I had BT off. I am at 67% battery now that is still 6% an hour doing nothing on the phone...so I don't think it is BT.

My battery life has been great. I've been off the charger since 7 am this morning with moderate usage I guess. About an hour and a half worth of music. Streamed a few CNN vids, surfed the net on and off, took a few pics, sent attachments, got updates on live tiles all day, and a few text messages. Its now almost 6pm and I'm at 30 percent left. Sounds good to me. Especially being 4g LTE. On my HTC rezound on Verizon's LTE network I was lucky to get 9 or 10 hours. I'm satisfied.

My battery life has been great. Off the charger for 19 hours, at 24% playing with it a lot even tried out Nokia drive on the way home. Together with all the regular emails phone calls texts web browsing etc. :)

My Androids would have been long dead by now.

I have been getting great battery life.

Right now, I have H+, Wi-Fi, and the screen set to auto.

I've had the phone off the hook for about 9 hours and I'm at 82%.
Voltage: 3.982V
Current: 89-112mA with spikes to 130mA when I touch the screen to keep it awake.

Wow, I get spikes over 300 mA when I touch the screen to keep it awake :-/. At full rest/stabilization its at 102-140 mA. Never, ever below that :(
