    Lumia 920 battery - Your opinions

    Yes - with something that needs to run in the background, but is processor intensive, there should be an option to exit that background service.

    Lumia 920 battery - Your opinions

    I think there might be two separate issues being experienced by users. The first being processor intensive software, like Drive+, remaining active in the background, and so using up the battery faster. The second an issue with the phone not reading the battery correctly (misreading capacity...

    Wireless charging

    Wireless charging is only about 70 - 80% efficient. The remaining 20 - 30% is released as heat. That will heat up both the pad and the phone, and is a different issue to what causes phones to heat up when in use. The phone should start to cool reasonably quickly when removed from the charger...

    Lumia 920 battery - Your opinions

    I think there's a theme developing from reading people's posts - the phones are arriving with poor battery capacity/usage reading, which is why a (one off) full discharge (which should only happen after first giving them a full 8 hour plus charge before first use) is working, because it fixes...

    Lumia 920 battery - Your opinions

    Generally you should try not to discharge to that point (yes it's a safety feature to protect the battery, but still best to avoid going that low). It is a good idea to do so, however, if you suspect your battery levels/capacity isn't being read correctly. Which may be what your issue actually...

    Lumia 920 battery - Your opinions

    All sound advice for a Li-ion battery. Fully charging it for 8 hours+ (even past the point it says it is at 100%) will help ensure the phone reads the battery capacity/drainage properly. But doing so only a couple of times will be fine for the battery that comes with your phone. Fully...

    The Farce of the Nokia Lumia 920 in the UK

    Can I just clarify this - the P4U guy was willing and able to give you the phone free on the (presumably Orange) ?28.50 tariff? Was that the Panther one with 1GB Internet? 'Cos the guy I spoke to was insistent that on the ?28.50 tariff my only option was to pay ?140 and no discounts were...

    The Farce of the Nokia Lumia 920 in the UK

    Tonight I successfully bought a red Lumia 920 from Phones4U, over the phone, on Orange Panther 36, for ?139.95 upfront, ?28.50 pcm, free wireless charger (vis the Nokia voucher thing) and free Play 360 wireless speaker. They had stock in, so five day delivery. Couldn't do an upgrade, but could...

    The Farce of the Nokia Lumia 920 in the UK

    As you can see that small print refers only to 4G service, that to get it you'll need to moved to an EE plan. I've seen the lists for the Orange and T-Mobile plans - the phone will absolutely be available on Orange and T-Mobile plans with no obligation to move to EE. Quoting myself from...

    The Farce of the Nokia Lumia 920 in the UK

    I looked at the EE/T-Mobile/Orange lists for the 920 at the end of last week. It will be available on the ?36 pcm Full Monty from T-Mobile for a ?49.99 payment up front. On Orange Panther, also ?36 pcm, it will be ?49 up front. It will be available on lower tariffs also. E.g. a ?26 pcm...
