Nothing in the background, no tabs open.Remember, of ypur battery drains and there is no jest on the cover - most likely network is sucking battery life of your Lumia 920.

How long does your battery live? Mine doesn't even get me through half a day. That can't be correct.
How long did your battery hold when you got the phone?

Seriously, the team please look into this issue. I am suffering on this issue too.

Re: lumia 920 Battery Issues
I'm so glad I'm not the only one with this odd problem: I implemented all the suggestions I could find to maximize battery life on my Lumia 920, which helped, but this one oddity remained: if I fully charge my phone before bed, I'm down to about 84-86% in the morning. However, if I turn my phone off and back on, the battery meter resets to 100% and declines normally until the next charge. I'd love to stop adding this step to my life, but at least it's not very time-consuming :-/ I wonder if anyone has notified Nokia of this anomaly...

Re: lumia 920 Battery Issues
Exchange your phone, 20% overnight drain on idle is not normal. You would have to have nokia drive and a bunch other crap going on to get that type of drain.

Re: lumia 920 Battery Issues
With a lot of frustration, I have been experiencing high battery drain also, with the phone staying warm even while idle.
Following various comments, fixes, could be' on various forums, I hard reset my new, less than one week old, phone.
I was kind of annoyed, surprised it took a very long time to recover, with a picture of gears churning on the screen.
Finally it booted up with a message, reset or restore. Wasn't expecting the choice. I chose restore to see what's up.
There was an amazing amount of stuff to restore.
After restore completed, my phone was still having battery drain issues. I decided to check out what this back up and restore thing was.
Pardon me I never read the manual. No need to go into discussion of the process.
I then chose to disable back up and restore, soft reset, and boom. Battery usage is now at -2%/hr. instead of -12-20% idle.
Have any of you tried this?

Re: lumia 920 Battery Issues
As I posted in another thread, it seems there is definitely some sort of environmental factor with this. I belong to a couple of different gaming groups and if I go to one location starting with a 100% charge, I leave wifi on, leave blue tooth on, and am running an app constantly. With that, after about 5 hours, I still have about 1/4 to 1/3 of the battery left. At the other location I go to, again, with a 100% charge, I turn the wifi off, turn the blue tooth off and running the app, after about 3.5 hours, the phone is completely dead. Every now and then, at work, I have massive battery drains, but it's pretty inconsistent. But these two different locations is a constant.

Re: Mysterious battery drain - need your opinions.
If Microsoft had done the obvious thing and let us SEE what apps are using battery power then it would be so much easier to diagnose these issues and force the app devs to fix their shoddy code.
Get a grip MS. I've only had a Lumia 920 for a few months and i'm beginning to regret it already.

Re: Top 10 method to increase Battery Life for Lumia 920
The backlight doesnt turn off just because the "liquid crystals" not letting the light throw. But however this did help on the lumia 800 and 900 because of the amoled (oled).
One thing that drags battery is the animations of course.

How you turn off 3g/4g/wifi ? The only way that comes to my mind is by turning airplane mode on but the phone will be useless. And we don't have the option of choosing between 2g/3g/4g or LTE on AT&T

Re: Top 10 method to increase Battery Life for Lumia 920
You can turn cellular data on or off. In areas with poor cell coverage, it's been suggested that turning cell data off with wifi turned on will improve battery life. You'll still receive calls/SMS over cell, but all data will be requested over wifi. Of course, this requires a wireless network to connect to.
To turn off data on AT&T 920:

Erratic battery life
I'm really, really trying hard to love my Lumia 920. For three months I put up with the erratic, if not worrying battery life. Its not like I had overheating issues or anything; I figured it was bad coding on some apps. I've held off on posting about this, but today was the last straw.
On a good day, my battery can last over 18 hours with the battery draining about 2% an hour. Lately, however, I've been experiencing pretty terrible battery. I'm talking 20% battery drops in a couple of hours, just listening to music (not streaming) I even got a battery app, and it showed drastic idle drops when not in use, even in airplane mode! Even weirder, I soft reseted my phone today and suddenly I lost no battery life for over 3 hours on idle, not one percent. Afterwards it continued dropping like crazy.
I've checked and rechecked all of my background apps and I follow all the tips, so much that its starting to become a real pain trying to get this phone working properly. I love Nokia, but Microsoft's OS bugs are really starting to get to me. How do I fix this? :c

Re: Erratic battery life
I know how you feel. It's sad to know that a lot of people with the phone are getting the best battery life possible while the rest are getting the worst. I really hope they have some kind of update soon to maybe fix this, because I hate seeing my phone die so fast.

Re: Erratic battery life
Do a hard reset on it. Go to about - reset phone. Save what you need to skydive. I had the same issue and it leveled it out dramatically. If I get on the wpcentral that will wipe my battery, but I've been off the charger for 13 hours and have 55% with moderate use. That is a typical battery day and as good as I have had with any other smart phone. I think sometimes software doesn't load correctly.

Re: Top 10 method to increase Battery Life for Lumia 920
On a FUNNY NOTE why don't we just build a emulator and keep the phone on standby and connected to computer.. Use mobile apps and everything on computer? I'm sure this way phone won't come down from 100% ever
