Eh Battery Life

[AllPhoneNews]

88% now...better then yesterday but that is a 5% drain on zero usage.

I charged my Lumia 900 to 100 percent I took off it the charger rebooted 3 times and the battery time left still said 8 hours...even after I turned off data. I factory reset again and after a few reboots to get data connected again, my battery level now says 1 day, 12 hours. I'll have to keep track of what I'm installing here. I think I had it doing too much and the battery level limit got stuck in memory....I can't wait for that update...If I still have these problems then I got a lemon and I'll need a replacement.

I am also on the MicroCell and I my phone seems to be draining pretty fast with little to no use. I have just made 3 or 4 quick phone calls.

4 Hours into the day I am below 70% which is terrible coming from the iphone 4 where I would go the entire day with pretty heavy use and end the day over 40-60% (Although I did not have the Iphone hooked up to Microcell)

I may undo Microcell and see how that does for the battery life.

Since the microcell is 3G only and the phone is LTE capable may have something to do with the battery drain in microcell..If you have decent coverage at home without microcell, I suggest you unplug it..remember this is not iPhone, so your need for microcell should be reevaluated.

I personally think you get best out of the battery when the brightness setting is automatic. If you choose to do manual, it is not fair to blame the phone for faster drain..my personal opinion.

This is strange. I wonder if there's a Microcell where I work, because the batter shouldn't be down to 80% (from 100%) this morning in 4 hours with minimal usage. Is there any way to find out whether there is or not? Are Microcells specific to certain carriers?

If you're on a microcell the phone tile on the home screen should say AT&T Microcell instead of just AT&T.

For a week now I have been getting great battery life, on average im getting over 40 hours with moderate use, this includes exchange set to check every 5 minutes, Zune at the gym for 90 minutes a day, endomondo for an hour while running (this is if im not at the gym), random phone calls while at work (some lasted 30 min or so), since delivery day ive done about 800 text messages, and I'm also on LTE 95% of that time. I absolutely love the battery on my 900, out performs my Galaxy S2 without a doubt.

Ah ok. I'm on an MVNO (Red Pocket) and it never says anything besides that, so I guess I'm not on a Microcell. Thanks.

40 hours? I seriously have a hard time believing that lol. , I can turn on battery saver, turn off data, and still can't get that, that's with no phone calls and some texting. No live tiles or anything

Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express

This is including sleep, so lets say 16 hours are from when im sleeping. I got 49 hours once, but i had no phone calls that charge and it was at 5% when i went to sleep and at 1% when i woke up which dinged me 49 hours. Im not a heavy user and only charge my phone when its around 2% or less. But not once have I not gotten atleast 36 hours of use out of it, with the exception of the first day, i just burned the battery down asap to do a full charge.

 

[AllPhoneNews]

62% and it has been 7 hours of pretty much no use....

Battery drain about twice as fast as my Blackberry 9900. I'm in a conference all this week with both phones and the BB has saved my butt big time.

35% after 10 hours

used web heavily, light GPS, moderate email, text, Facebook and moderate talk.

I would say that is good.

Woke up to go to school at 7 am and had 20% left by 10 pm. Calculating time left I would have gotten 17 hours of battery life. This is using HSPA+ and medium to high usage (2 phone calls, apps, 4 minute video, pictures, texting, etc)

My battery life seems better since the update. We'll see how it goes in the next 24 hours.

 

[feedmylittletroll]

I think I am just spoiled by the battery life on my lumia 800. After 12hours of use, I am usually around 60%. With the 900, around 20%. I just hope the update helps the battery life out or I am taking it back

My battery seems just fine. Damn thing charges slow as **** compared to my iPhone but no complaints with our phones.

I use straight talk and when on the microcel it says Roam
