Battery life with WP 8.1

[TechFreak1]

Like Omarahun has said the new update should help, charging my phone now will see how it goes.

Last night several applications were updated and this morning when disconnecting L920 from the charger the phone started to drain the battery very fast and so has been all day, when I check which applications are consuming more battery I see all that I have on the main screen have excessive battery consumption. Tonight I'll leave it disconnected from the charger to see if the problem was solved after the new update that just released.

Sorry for my English







And this is few weeks ago

Noticed quite a boost on my battery life since the latest update. Before I'd be away from a charging point doing general activity (checking twitter, playing music, watching a youtube video) for 10 hours and be down to about 52% before I could charge it again. Today though, after 10 hours, I'm at 68% battery life.

Maybe its just happy coincidence, but that's a pretty huge boost in battery performance from me.

Lumia 925 btw.

Why windows phones can't stay completely off while recharging?

 

[bsbharath1987]

Yes, the battery has lasted appreciably longer since the update. It has been 15 hours since I charged completely --I used to be at around 60% battery level on my L720 at this time before the update -- now I still have around 85% left.

Battery life is more or less the same for me on my 920, or shows 16 hours at 100%, not sure what's wrong since my 810 with same applications shows 3 days standby after the update

I'm going to watch this thread for improvements with the new update.
I've been noticing a shorter battery life with 8,1 with the same usage paradigm. I used to charge my 920 overnight and then it would last me comfortably through the day until the evening (when I'm home anyway and I don't use it so much) where I'd have around 30%, then I'd charge it.

Now I'm at around 30% by the time I get off work, and I have to charge it way before I get to bed. In fact, after charging it I avoid using it, and I activate the battery saver to keep it as close to 100% as possible. This is no way to live

Just updated yesterday and it seems vastly improved. I've been working for the past 3h and checking stuff on my 920 on and off, so far it only went down to %95. Pretty happy with that.

Is anyone having this issue? batter Saver doesn't work, not even when I pin it OR when I go thru it on Menu or Settings... nothig works, it's like it doesn't take me anywhere, I press and it doesn't respond!!!! I already installed update 1, and still the same stuff! I hate battery life, Lumia 625

My 1520 battery was draining horribly on 8.1 but seems to be alot better with the latest update.

I've found a couple of apps that no longer launch. Adobe Reader crashes after 1-2 secs and the "Game Cut The Rope Exp" refuses to launch whatsoever.

Battery much worse after yesterday update

I'm having much worse battery life after yesterday update, phone is often hot, there are lags etc.
It was much better with plain 8.1
Here is screenshot from battery sense; believe me, I didn't use camera, onedrive, maps nor ie after update!

What's going on? This update should improve battery life, right?

Re: Battery much worse after yesterday update

Did you try soft reset? If not...a restore might be in your future.

Re: Battery much worse after yesterday update

Battery is significantly better and my 920 doesn't heat now even in 3G mode whereas it would heat like an oven before..

I did not test this prior to update, but with the update im having the same problem on my 1020

Battery life on my 920 is great. I use it ( heavily) for ~25 hours without charging

Re: Battery much worse after yesterday update

FYI; I did hard reset right after update to 8.1.1
Couple of soft resets today, no help at all.
Sometimes it needs ~4-5 sec to wakeup (loading... on the screen).

BTW I've installed the same update to my 1020 (with EXACTLY the same set of apps/settings) and no problems whatsoever. Same with my wife 820. But also no promised improvements.

Re: Battery much worse after yesterday update

Have you tried removing battery sense or Cortana from the home screen? That fixed my "loading" problem instantly. My 1520 has had significantly better battery life since the update. My battery app shows at least a .5%-1% decrease in battery use per hour.

 

[oryan_dunn]

After update, 620 drop from 100% to 47% unplugged over night with only wifi (no sim in it). That same usage on 8.0 would have dropped 5-10% at most. For me, the update doesn't seem to have changed anything.

My battery life has been very bad today, maybe even worse. Will check back after a few days.
