Amazing battery life after Nokia Drive + Beta update

[UnfixedPyle]

The phone is rated for 10 hours of talk time, most battery tests on it give it about 6 hours of video playback. I personally loose about 10% per hour of talking on the phone. About 10% per hour of web surfing on WiFi (includes YouTube). I haven't tried a full length movie (That is what my Surface is for). In idle as long as I have a good signal I only loose 1% every 2-3 hours with all of my email on 1hr, Words by Post on push. If I have a bad signal it goes to about 2-3% per hour. every now and then I get the battery drain bug and I loose a lot, but it is not very often and a soft reset stops it. If you read the 8X forums, people are reporting 2-3 times better battery life after the Portico update, so I am hopeful it will only get better, but right now I can easily go all day. I can easily believe all of the battery life that is discussed here.

Was actually busy with work, so hardly used my phone.

I get 12-15 hours from heavy to moderate usage with Wifi on, H data on, 3 apps running in the background, location on, NFC off, Drive uninstalled, battery saver off. It gets me through the day and that's good enough for me. I compare it with my friends who are on an iphone and they only get 6 hours on average a day with heavy usage. 1450 mAh battery with heavy usage: 6 hours, 2000 mAh battery with heavy usage: 12 hours. Sounds good to me.
