This just makes me happier about the fact that my carrier picked up the Lumia 830 instead. I don't have as nice a camera, sadly, but it's still pretty great, and I don't miss the extra screen pixels or the extra horsepower. Hey Cortana is the only thing I really miss. My phone shipped with Denim, so I feel like I'm missing out.
Mine does not get hot at all after the Denim upgrade. The battery isnt really good, but that's to be expected from 2420mAh.It depends what you means with bad battery life. My impressions are that idle power consumption is actually very good with this device. However, once you start to use the device it quickly gets hot even with moderate use and the battery drains very quickly.
Like others have said, you need to use the device more. My Lumia 930 has decent battery life, lasts me at least a day. But is pretty short compared to my Lumia 1520.
Well according to gsmarena, no phone has a longer battery life than the 1520. Few even come close so it appears to be top of the tree. That may not be definitive but its pretty much universally recognized for its awesome battery life so it sounds like you may have a faulty battery or something is not running right.
What did you trade your Icon in for? The LG G2 has an 800 processor and awesome battery life - better than its 801 toting successor (G3)...just saying. Its not just about the processor. One mans 'moderate' usage is light or heavy to another. I have zero issue with my L930s battery life as it gets me from one day to the next with juice to spare. I have owned a 1020, 920 and still have a 925 and I am not noticing a worse battery life experience.
I had the same experience. I am actively waiting for the next lumia device to be launched... I really wanted to like the 930... And I did! Hardware wise. But seriously, the horrendous battery life was the end of it for me... With little to no use during the day I would have to charge it almost immediately after work!Hi, I have have bought the Lumia 930 two days ago and I am pretty shocked by the battery life to be honest. I come from the Huawei W1 and on several occasions during the past 2 year I got up to 5 days of battery life out of it with moderate usage. But right now, 15 hours after recharging it, my Lumia is already at 27%!
The things I did today:
- The first 8 hours: sleeping, it gradually dropped from 100% to 93% during these 8 hours.
- I got up and checked the news and email, 1 hour after I woke up it dropped another 10% to around 83%.
- I then played GTA San Andreas for 30 minutes, the battery dropped another 20% to around 65%
- I then took the dog for a 1 hour long walk, I snapped some pictures(31 pics+3, 2minute videos) with the Lumia during this, it dropped 10-15% to around 50%
- It then went stand by for 1.5 hours, it dropped a percent or two.
- After the standby I checked out Spotify and the FM radio for about half an hour, I downloaded my music lists on Spotify for offline use, battery dropped 5-8% to 40%.
- Standby for another half an hour
- I then had my phone on for half an hour just only browing the internet, googling for Lumia battery issues and such, the battery dropped 10% during this to 30%.
- Then I went on to Windows central on the PC and wrote this reply whilst checking the battery graph on my Lumia, and right now, about an hour later it is at 21%.
- I just went to the toilet and took my phone with me, but after a few minutes of ONLY internet browsing I already saw the battery percentage drop once again, so..
Exactly 16 hours after charging the phone I am at 18%. I played a graphically intensive game for 30 minutes, I did quite a bit of internet browsing, used the camera to take 31 pictures and 3 short(2 minutes) videos and that's about it. I only use WiFi, so no 3G or whatever, automatic screen brightness and 16 hours is what I get. Wow. And when you substract the 8 hours of sleep from it, I get 8 hours of use before needing a recharge. !? I am at a loss for words, so I'll just post this...
I see that Internet Explorer really uses alot of power, it has been 12 hours since I got up and right now IE has actually surpassed GTA San Andreas with power usage. 32.9% For IE and 20.5% for GTA San Andreas. Is Internet Explorer very unoptimized or something?
Internet Explorer 32.9%
GTA: San Andreas 20.5%
Battery(this is an app) 12.1%
Lumia Camera 11.1%
Metrotube 4.8%
Spotify 4.1%
and so on..
Or could it be that Internet Explorer mainly has white backgrounds, so combined with this Oled(or is it an Amoled?) screen it feasts on the battery?
San Andreas just works the screen, RAM and GPU. IE needs all of that, plus it's using your data connection continuously. That last one is the key.
