Can someone please help my jaded views on battery life with a 1520?

[mister2d]

I was going to mention the same thing about the battery. Lithium ion batteries need to be discharged fully once a month to stay optimal and report the correct battery life.

Okay I'll drain it to 0% tonight.

Yw, keep us posted

I did a hard reset on my phone. I found out that my hotmail wash constantly syncing. I reinstalled all of the apps but the battery life is still the same. 8 hours on a charge.

Yea you may have other issues. I wish we had a way to keep track of screen on time. Can you guesstimate how many hours your screen is on over the span of a charge? And are you running low med or high brightness with or without auto.

Probably 3 to 4 hours. And it's on low brightness.

Would you please take a screen shot of both pages of battery saver so we can see where everything is going and what apps are at the top of your page.

I believe he's on 8.0 unfortunately.

At this point all I can say is my 1520 had about the same battery life for the first week and a half but then got better so maybe wait it out and see or you may have to return it unfortunately. Sorry I couldn't help more.

I have my brightness on medium and I get around 12 hours screen on time over 4 days between charges. In IE I get between 6-9% per hour battery loss, if I'm on here using the app I lose about 2-3% per hour.

I have 18 apps allowed in the background and Bluetooth always on but not always connected and location always on but only maps and Cortana using it.

I believe he is on 8.1 but if it on 8.0 the problem can be solved also. I would still like to see a screen shot of the battery saver on 8.0

I didn't mean he couldn't be helped on 8.0 I was referring to 8.0 not having the detailed app usage displayed in the battery saver like on 8.1

I went back through the thread and he is on 8.0

If so, can you take a screen shot of background tasks of which programs are allowed. Do you have a Xbox that your phone is connected to? How about Xbox music, also how many email account do you have set up? Do any of the account have a error, and how long are they set to

I don't know how to add a screenshot but I blocked every app except Battery and 6tag. I set my Gmail and Hotmail to sync manually. I don't have my phone connected to an Xbox. None of my accounts have an error.

I have emails sync set to manual, low brightness, along with Bluetooth, NFC off. It will be connected to Wifi during my times at home. Last charged on the phone on Sat midnight. Moderate usages when on the move during the weekends and also with 4G connected during sleep hours. Have all live tile updates turned off except Whatsapp.



The battery life seems really really powerful to me with the remaining battery power till now... A big improvement between my previous 1020 and this. Perhaps SnapDragon 800 is really very power efficient?

First up did you do a hard reset and not restore from a backup? If not then do, also what battery app do you use? If its the one with the highest amount of feedback then that is using a lot of battery. I won't go into it now but I did some tests and that one was a real hog on the battery.

Then what is the use of live tiles.if u turn off all your live tiles off.lumia 1520 has monstrous battery it should be a device which should be leaps nd bounds ahead of note 3 but.still it is somewhat better to say the least.i wish smartphone should have atleast 2 days of battery life by always connected to internet running all background task nd all phone function like nfc,bluetooth,location turned on.hope Microsoft provide a windows phone device.like that.

WP8.1 - battery drain issue - I too was having a battery drain issue. I turned off the back ground run of Store in battery saver and that solved hre problem.

Battery Saver -> Store -> turn of the Allow app to run in the background.

You shouldn't need to, your right. I have 18 apps running in the background with a load of live tiles and I get 3-4 days from my 1520 with over 10 hours of screen on time.

I uninstalled the battery app. I think I'll just deal with the battery life. I had to reset this phone a million times
