Or you can dial ##3282, go to three dots in lower right corner and just chose it from the menu.

Re: Erratic battery life
My battery life is still all over the place, I've had two 920's and both act the same. Today I had a 40% power drop in about two hours.:amaze:

Your phone is faulty, return it and get it fixed. It's not that hard.

Re: Erratic battery life
Try the following for a coupe of days and see how things are,
1.Switch to 2G for 3 days.
2.Disable background tasks which don't need to be running "according to you".
3.recharge battery when charge < 20% and unplug when charge = 100%.
I hope you should see improvements in battery life.
give this a shot too.

Re: Top 10 method to increase Battery Life for Lumia 920
That's what happens with mine. I'm with AT&T myself! Just doesn't matter any more. My battery in the 920 has become stable. I love my 920, but it's a whacked phone for sure. I love craziness!

Basically turn everything off and make it a dumb phone. That will get you thru the day. I can't have Gmail, can't have Xbox game connect, I think they fixed Skype but I'm not trying just yet, stay away from Drive, turn all background tasks off, turn off LTE, you won't need it anyway since its now a dumb phone, don't play any games unless you want to fry an egg, poached please. What else, uninstall all your apps too. Some randomly hang up and by the time you feel the warmth on your leg, its too late.
Since the list is so long I'm sure I've missed a few.

Re: Top 10 method to increase Battery Life for Lumia 920
Not long. Once I updated the phone. Uninstalled the battery level app. And quit worrying about it. Less than 2 weeks. Got the phone Saturday before Christmas.

Re: Top 10 method to increase Battery Life for Lumia 920
People who post screen shots with 3days battery life etc remaining give false impressions to other users. These people do not use their phone that much! If I leave my phone next to me for a few hours and don't touch it, the remaining battery life starts to increase.. 1 day.. 2 days. 3 days.. etc...

Best Battery life I've gotten so far.....
After checking out posts on this forum and a helpful Cnet.com how-to video, I'm getting great battery life on my 920. Sorry about the pic quality, taken with my old phone .... and this was before I found out about the screen shot feature :\

Lumia 920 random battery drain
Got the 920 in December, so it's 3 months old. I have implemented every recommended protocol for conserving battery life (NFC off, lock-screen at 5 min, background app updates blocked, etc.). I am also a VERY light user (a couple of calls or texts per day, some light web searching, a couple of times 10-15 min), so I should get excellent battery life.
Some days the battery life is excellent. Starting at 100% in the morning, and after a full working day by 9 pm I am still at 90% charge. Then sometimes, in the middle of the day, the battery starts to drain at 15%/hour ON STANDBY. The phone gets quite warm suddenly when this happens as well. So far, these incidents are completely random, but they happen almost every second charge. This happens without my changing any setting on the phone at all. Also, it happens at the same location, while connected to Wi-Fi at work. Furthermore, if I turn the phone off and then turn it on again 10 minutes later, standby battery drain appears to return to a reasonable level (back to maybe 1%/hour, if that). These random, but nevertheless frequent, incidents do not seem to be improving.
Do I need to return my phone?

Re: Best Battery life I've gotten so far.....
That Coolknight thread should be stickied in each forum. I got over 2 days with my 920 over this weekend. I think people need to understand to not having everything always turned "on" for these phones.

Re: Lumia 920 random battery drain
I see the same thing. Very random.
I've gotten to where I can almost live with this. I'm afraid if I send my 920 in I'll get a refurb back that has other issues.
Not sure what to do. Keep hoping Nokia announces its a problem, they know what it is, and a fix is coming soon.
Dreaming I know....

Re: Erratic battery life
If it's faulty, why it is not consistently faulty? This is solid state electronics.
Mine has had days of running with 80% charge left and the end of the day, but many more days with 10% charge left. And it's not because of use.
Why would one night it loose 5% an hour and other nights 0% an hour? Same place, location etc.
There are 2 potential reasons:
- Software bug where background processes are left running
- Hardware issue where a PCB shorts out something periodically
Nokia have had enough reports of this by now to identify the cause. They need to come clean and either do a recall exchange if it's hardware, or push an update out ASAP.
