Battery battle..or i'm just losing sleep over it.

[Marko Marjanovic]

Hey there, fellow 1520 brothers and sisters! I write this to ask you couple of things and to see is my battery act ,,normal" (whatever that means) or not.
I did couple of test and without delay, let's start:

*Tested with light, medium and heavy usage*
Background only ,,what's app"/auto brightness/saver off.

Light: 100%, off charge show 3d17h, glance/dttw off, night drain 2%, battery last 3d and it's 40% remain.

Medium: 100%, off charge show 3d, glance/dttw peek/off, night drain 3-4% battery last 3d and it's 26% remain. Some music, games for 10-15 min, light browsing.

Heavy: 100%, off charge show 2d, glance/dttw allways on/on, night drain 6% battery last..well it's been like two hours and it's 60% remain..4h-40%..
2h of talking, taking pictures, watching youtube and browsing the web (ps. While writhing this i lost 5% in 5min..)
So overall you lost battery when using the phone, it's obvious..but is it okay to lose so much of it?
Games and web even heat my phone, and then battery simply drain.

Anyone in boat with me? Is this ,,normal"?

Yes it is. The harder you push the phone's CPU and screen, the faster the battery will drain.

Try not to over think things, just charge your battery as and when you need to.

And get a few QI chargers (house, car, office) these make charging very easy.

@pete
Yes, i do think i overthink it..you are right, i will try to get that to minimum.
@harrie
Sound like a plan, but i'm kinda sceptical about it.. Every 1520 i've seen have 3dots for qi, mine don't. What if i get wrong qi, how i can check it?
Ps. 1520.1, 000-de

 

[Harrie-S]

If you have RM-937, 938 or 939 the QI is build in and you only need a QI charging plate.
If you have the RM 940 (AT&T) it does not support QI but PMA (other wireless standard) and you need to get a dedicated case and a PMA wireless charger plate.

So check your version in Settings > extra's+info > under manufacturers name.

(Actual wireless charging is for me one of the best features in a smartphone. After investing in several charger plates I have no (low) battery worries any more.)

RM-937 here, cool i just need plate and i'm good to go. Excelent !
Any plate you should recommend?

 

[Harrie-S]

I only have Nokia chargers, DT-900, DT-910, dt 601 and the Cr 201.

I would not recommend the 601 because the plate is a little small. And maybe the 1520 does not fit very good in the cr-201 (if you use a case).

But ever qi charger will di but I would not go for a "unknow" brand on a dodgy website.

(I am at the moment in a IKEA and they also have qi chargers and even some build-in in a lamp/desk.)
