WTF moment: Turning OFF battery saver did improve the battery life on my Lumia 925

[Roderick Aspiras]

It maybe due to the following reason, but we will not know for sure:

1. Because WP8.1 is still in preview so expect glitches here and there
2. WP8.1 is not yet optimized for some phone for some region. We may need firmware updates for specific devices.


Just a thought.

Hmm, this is sort of an oxymoron, no? Battery saver's purpose is to SAVE your battery, yet it actually drains it? Insane, lol. I think I might try this. Using my 810 today and I'm charging it on my laptop... Just turned off Battery Saver and I'll leave a report later about it as the day goes on.

Got tired of all this trial and error crap with battery life on my 925. Try this. Do that. Disable this ... Went back on 8.0 and I'm easily getting a day and a half usage on my phone again - happily - with moderate + usage.

Think ... This time gonna keep my sanity and wait for official 8.1 release.

Totally agree, I will not update untill Cyan comes out.

 

[Roderick Aspiras]

Only problem is that Cyan is just around the corner or is it? Anyway I will be sticking with 8.1 for now coz I like IE 11 and watching youtube has never been better.

Totally agree, I will not update untill Cyan comes out.

 

[djslofstra]

I think Cyan will come to the L925 in week 25. I live in the Netherlands and there has been a leak that said it would come out then. I'll wait for the cyan update, also because my warranty will void if I update to regular 8.1.

You too!

I thought I was mistaken, yet disabling this helped battery time on mine also.
Good catch...

I also have the 925, no battery problems, and battery saver is on for me.

Same here on my 1020

Sanity is overrated. I'll choose 8.1 every time.

Oh the guy who doesn't believe my battery life is using 8.1, well that explains a lot...

Why do you think I don't believe you? I don't have a battery issue either. But flaunting it is like telling homeless people how nice your house is. Now if you could tell people how to get the same battery life you do....

 

[djslofstra]

Now go visit a lung cancer ward and tell them you smoke 3 packs a day and never been sick a day in your life. j/k

This post gives me the suggestion that you don't believe me. Strange, isn't it?
I have told multiple times on this forum how I get a battery life like that.

That doesn't even hint at not believing you. As I said, your post wasn't helping with the problem. Which is okay but it was also more like gloating you were better off than others.

MS always keeps weird bugs as an easter eggs at their operating systems

 

[ttsoldier]

Oh Look.

Another battery thread. Yay.

I just wish there was some way to quantify the drain of an app instead of relative to other apps.

The other alternative is to say "screw it" and just use the phone until it runs low and then charge it. Much less brain damage.

Like a proper task manager with CPU, i/o, mem....

What exactly will turning off battery saver do? Will it not give u battery percentage? What else?

 

[chocka]

I think the battery drain is random. My phone gets hot suddenly and I switch off the phone and wait 15 mins. I switch it back on and everything is fine. Then I would have no issue for a week. Then it happens again suddenly. I think that it might be related to Cortina. It might be doing some data analysis or there might be a bug in the OS.

Yea me to that occasionally happens to my 925

Turning of battery saver and turning off double tap to wake helped for me. Now i've got good battery life again.
