Hi,

so I've been using tgd Lumia 920 for about a day now, and I'm noticing it seems like my phones battery is drained pretty quickly. Is it true that the Nokia black update ruined this phones battery life? I also notice my phone is rather warm on the back right now. I disabled NFC, Bluetooth, am using auto brightness, and I'm using glance, but having it time out after 15 minutes.

what's normal battery life of this phone? I maybe should note im using the wireless charger for this phone.

What apps are you running in the background? How is your signal strength in your location?

I don't know if this may help, but check your background tasks...the more tasks running in the background, the more drainage to the battery. I have at least 4-5 tasks running in the background and have over a day of battery life. I use my phone casually too, with internet surfing and mail checking....stuff like that.

Do you mean under background tasks? I did have twitter, here maps, and here city lens running background tasks. I turned those off. Maybe that will help. I mainly want to make sure my battery's ok because this is a second hand lumia 920.

It's probably here maps and here city lens that are killing your battery. I have Twitter running in the background, but I don't have any battery issues.
