Ativ available in USA yet?

I'm dumping 920 as soon as I can get my hands on Ativ S or surface or maybe even Lenovo. I'll give up the exclusives for a phone that will make it more than 10 hrs on a charge.

So far I am unimpressed with the battery life. Yesterday my phone lasted 5 hours under light usage (off the charger at 10am it was shut off dead by 3pm). Today was better, 8 hours before it hit battery saver mode. But 8 hours of light usage just sucks.

Well within my exchange period so I may exchange it.

Just tested it and I am losing 3% in 5 minutes. I went from 15% to 12%. But that could because it was low on battery.

Going to recharge it tonight and do a hard reset and see how it goes again.

Perform soft reset on phone. Sounds like you have a program hanging up. I think there are some OS issues causing some of the battery issues and also some apps that are more prone to cause problem. If its that bad, its either a program or signal strength issue. Or possible bad phone. Never know with todays substandard QC with all manufactures.

I have terrible 4G signal at my house. 1 bar max. I had hoped to switch it back to 3g which is stronger but not much (2-3 bars). Funny thing is there is a tower about 500yds from my house.

Battery life is getting better every day, but I am still losing about 30% an hour while playing games like wordament. I think that is a bit high but am not sure.

Will give it a few more days of charging and then will start messing with things. It's getting better every day.

I was worried about the battery life too, but today it's proved to hold VERY well. I got up from a nap around 4 and now it's 10:39 PM...so ~6 hours...few youtube videos, some web browsing, updated/installed 12 apps, 3-4 phone calls, 20'ish texts, took a couple of 30 second videos of my daughter, a couple of pictures....and I'm still at 80% battery. (says 2 days 17 hours remaining but i'm sure that's inaccurate)

update: 1:40 AM ~ 72% battery remaining with additional texting and moderate web browsing. (says 1 days 23 hours remaining, but once when i looked at it earlier it only said 17 hours...not sure the reason for the inaccuracy, but i think it will become more accurate with time)

That's VERY good...even compared to my old Samsung Focus - which I thought had one of the best battery lives of any phone I've ever used. Props on the 920's battery life.

P.S. I read an HTC 8x vs Lumia 920 review walking into the AT&T store yesterday that said the 920 won on battery life...which was my final deciding factor on going with it.
