Lumia 920 battery - Your opinions

[SoullessOnyx]

Probably the worse Phone I have ever had a for Battery life.

I have everything possibly turned off accept for Wi-Fi but that turns off when I lock the phone, but I could be using the phone for 10 minutes just on Twitter or something and will lose nearly 15%...

this isn't a normal battery life. Mine lost only 6% battery for 30min browsing (amber update) with 4gLTE. (medium auto brightness). With tap+send turned off, you should save more. Other things like background apps can turn on so I'd check those. You have a bad battery or something.

Indeed, literally everything on my phone is turned off, I'm at the point where nothing else can be turned off.

Its so annoying.

I have had my Lumia 920 (5th one by the way) for about a year now. I hate its battery life. It sucks compared to my mom's Samsung Note and my sisters iPhone 4S. If I use my phone for pretty much ANYTHING it is dead by 5pm (and I usually don't get up before noon) and I have to plug it in. With the issues of live tiles dying and MS' treatment of Xbox Live games, gamers, and devs I am seriously thinking of giving up on Windows Phone. I wouldn't recommend a WP to anybody in my family anymore.

Same here, I have had 4 Windows Phones and I have never truly been happy with the battery, I'm very tempted to move phones if this carries on, I'm going to wait until 8.1 releases.

Battery

I get about a days usage it seems so far out of it. It's only 3 days old so I don't know if the battery will change or not.

Not sure if that's good or bad battery life tbh. I'm fine with it lasting a day, but if i do anything like watch a video/music it seems to drop the battery quite fast. I just tried a GBA emulator and tested out a game, ran it for about 30 seconds and it dropped 5% battery. That's the more annoying thing really, wish it lasted a bit longer with me doing things! Will do more testing though.

PS on the first day, I installed skype - big mistake. It was dropping about 15% an hour with skype installed. Removed it and it dropped to 0.7% per hour. I've not hit that number again though.

Last night I went to bed with a full charge, at midnight. When I woke up at 7am it was empty and on power saver mode. My iPhone 4 could stay standby for a full day without a problem.

you need to give it a 3 cycle battery charge so you will have a better battery performance, and it will be normal, ( 3 cycle means that you have to let your phone at charger for about 12 hours)

 

[reda igbaria]

Hey Guys, Just an update. last night I gave it a nice full charge after my battery dropped to about 7% or so. And today after a ton of music listening, texting, and a couple phone calls, not to mention a little Angry Birds SW (love that game). I was able to push 16 Hours before it dropped to 9%. Not bad......Not bad at all. Maybe it'll improve even more going forward. Needless to say im pretty happy now.

you need also to read the saving battery tips , (here is 2 important: switch theme to black, use battery saver, disconnect the Xbox service when you are not playing)

 

[SoullessOnyx]

I took my phone of charge around an hour ago, I have been on it for around 10 minutes, just checking Twitter etc.

I have Xbox Music & Games turned off.
Battery Saver on.
All Apps are off.
No live tiles.
Brightness set to low.
All sounds and Vibrate are off.
Email is set to manually sync.
Theme set to black.

Literally everything you could think of that should help save battery I have already done.

And yet in this image I have some how lost a hell of a lot of battery for barely using it.

are you using 2g 3g or 4g?

 

[SoullessOnyx]

are you using 2g 3g or 4g?

I never use 2G 3G or 4G! I never ever use it, I use Wi-Fi and then if I go out, I turn the Wi-Fi off.

 

[alpha beta gaga]

so you only ever make calls with the wifi signal then?

 

[SoullessOnyx]

Well, to be honest, I rarely call of text.

Lets just say this, I could not be using my phone, it could be locked with the Wi-Fi off, I check my phone and I have lost 4% over nothing.

 

[alpha beta gaga]

so under

settings > mobile network > data connection is on or off?
settings > mobile network > highest connection speed is 2g 3g or 4g?

I traded my Nokia Lumia 625 to get this phone, I got it brand new still in its wrapping at a UK store called CeX... So I don't think Nokia can do anything =(
