3-BLuetooth/NFC/WI-FI/3G are off always(mostly)
4-I rarely use Maps so have disbaled its background task too.

I'm not sure, but I don't think it sounds pretty normal.

I'm not sure, but I don't think it sounds pretty normal.

actually it varies,i just now unistalled a battery app which used to show average rate of discharge to be around 2.58%/hr but again sometimes it reaches 4 and then falls to 3%, Although with normal use I get a backup of around 40+ hours if i use it for some music,browsing and whatsapp.One more thing,it happend only once that i had discharged my phone below 10%,should i do it and then again put on charge???

Sounds rather high to me. My current discharge rate is 0.8% and my average is 1.9%. 3G or WiFi always on and running in the background are:
Amazing Weather HD
Battery Performance
Battery Status
Birthdays Diary
CNN
Currency
Custom Tiles Maker
Here Drive
Simple Calendar
WhatsApp and finally
WPCentral.

So, no complaints here.

I think in my case,the phone is not reading the battery properly as i last charged the phone at 4:30 and at 6 pm it showed a discharge rate of 4 % but right now the batter is at 90%,so there is smthng wrong because the rate is still 4%.

I guess I should make it clear that the readings are approx values. No matter which software you use, the values are never 100% accurate. And again the battery lasts as you said is ~2 days. What more do you want? Its a smart phone. Some fruity phone discharge in nano seconds. So unless you are allergic to charge your phone, you should stop crying about it. Also no two person's phone usage are the same. So battery back up will differ.

I think what you will find here is that, the discharge rate varies alot. Try putting your phone in aeroplane mode and see !

Or maybe jewel case it and place it in a museum. A guy posted in the forum sometime back that with all functions disabled, the phone lasts ~14 days. Could try that :winktongue:

One day suddenly saw such a behavior in Lumia 720, fully charged at arount 11 P.M. showed 20% charge at 8 A.M. next day. The data connection and Wifi were off when this happened. After all it is a Windows OS and first thing which came to my mind is to switch off and switch on and to my surprise the phone started working fine after that. Please try the same, there might be some app which is causing this battery drain.

By battery back up after I did a hard reset yesterday. Need to mention that all previously installed app are installed. Also noticed that the phone is now running on GDR2+Amber. I had updated to GDR3 Preview. Had did the reset using NSU.

my 720 discharge rate : 3 hours = 1%
no background task
data connection off
battery saver

I just turn on data connection/wifi when I needed

For me at night 1am, I charged my phone 100%. In night all the connections are off. Flight mode on. Battery saver off. Glance off. In morning , at 10am battery is remaining 96% . It is my replacement phone. Earlier one not having same issue��

So in about 10 hours, you phone discharged 4%. If you expect it to remain at 100% then I suggest you to attach a mini nuclear power plant to you phone and enjoy an eternity of battery backup.

But my old phone has ~1% discharge. (old phone means the phone before got replacement)

Deal with it. You already have an amazing back up as you said. Unless you are allergic to charge your phone.

battery drainage depends on the usage.... and even though battery level shows two days or more.. it may not last that much ....
on 2g net connection with apps like whatsapp, insider pro..etc... the phone is lasting ~2days... thats wonderful when compared to many other smarphones... so dont complain.. just enjoy the life you have got...

 

[EpicIncognitO]

ROFLMFAO !!! Actually Gaurav even I was fed up with the discharge rate problems but later got to know that some apps take alot of battery after being updated, so you see the solution is simple. You have to turn the data off and on.

So in about 10 hours, you phone discharged 4%. If you expect it to remain at 100% then I suggest you to attach a mini nuclear power plant to you phone and enjoy an eternity of battery backup.
