hi visited the Nokia Care Center here in India... and they said that with net on 6 -7 hours is what one gets in Lumia 620 (i was so shocked at this.. given that you people have been getting better backups with your devices) though he said we will update the software and then the battey will improve.. so here i am... back with updated cell.. will not install whatsapp this time... lets see hot it goes... thanks for your support..OzROb and DKP23..!!
I dont think so, 6-7 hours is not accurate. I can get double that pretty easily as long as i am not surfing the web and stuck to calling and texting. I dont have whatsapp, i know it is a battery drain. I take the phone offer charger at 730 every morning for work and by the time i go to sleep at around 11pm or 12am, i will have 10-20% left. Here are my usage and settings:
3 apps running in background - weather, battery, and lock screen
bluetooth on all day, i never turn it off even if i dont use. i use bluetooh music for about 30-45 min in morning for drive and about 50min on the drive home so close to 2 hours of music over bluetooh in my car
I have three emails, 2 pushing right away and one updates every 30 minutes. I have my work email so i can get 50-100 emails a day
I average around 1000 text per month so that averages out about 33 a day, some lower some higher.
I surf about an hour at lunch and then randomly throughout the day, i try to limit this because it is such a drain, but probably close to two hours a day
very limited calling, i probably average less than 10 min a week in calls. I just text or email
i dont play games on my phone.
My set-up can get me 14-16 hours. Based on what you said, the type of drain you are seeing is not right. I have a 920, i've gone through 4 of them, batter would only lst 6 hours or so, i had nokia swap it out and finally got one that worked well.
I'd go back to nokia care, dont accept what they tell you about 6-7 hours, that is bullsh1t, no phone should die that fast unless you are a super heavy user which is seems you are not. Less details the better, the more you tell them, the more chances they come up with a b.s reason to not help. Say your battery drains, even if dont use. They wll ask you to trouble shoot, just say you trouble shooted and nothing worked. Very simple precise and they should help you. The key thing is saying your battery is draining without you doing anything.
