Battery Discharge Rate

I wanted to get a guage on what is impacting the battery the most.

First step is to use the Nokia Diagnostic app, just Dial ##634## then an app will appear on your app list called "Diagnostics".

Open App > Battery Status

Post in the following format:

Features on : WIFI + BT + LTE or 4G

Current (Discharging) : ....... mA

Features on : WIFI + BT + LTE
Current (Discharging) : 100 - 125 mA

Current (Discharging) : 100 - 125 mA

Mine is ranging anywhere from 102 to 300+ mA. Why the gigantic range? I had a feeling my battery life wasn't great but I didn't want to judge until I tested through a normal day.

Features: Wifi ON, 2 email accounts syncing every 15 mins, 4G (but no LTE), NO bluetooth, automatic brightness, 1 minute screen timeout.

Thoughts?

I am no expert but I think we will need to let the battery run for 15-20 seconds and then it stabilizes on a smaller range. Maybe upon unlocking the phone initially it shows a bigger range

Alright, so that 300 range is normal when I first run it or tap the screen? It runs at about 120 ~150 mA or so at its lowest (stabilized?) range.

Yes, I think that is correct. From what I understand this is the mA/hour consumption, based on this value and the total capacity of the battery is 1830mAh.

So no.of hours remaining = 1830 mA / Average of discharge rate
