Want to double battery life? (proved)

[Yakkob]

Switch off vibrate. I have had this switched off for 2 weeks now and my battery life has gone through the roof. My battery life was good anyway - 12 hours approx.. Now I'm getting 20 hours plus. I don't miss the vibrate as it isn't that strong on the 920 compared to other phones I've had in the past.
Try it.

I'm glad that's working for you. A lot of people probably can't leave the ringer on, though.

 

[Zolotoy]

I have it off all the time. Battery life sucks.

 

[Darren Walsh]

I have it on and get 20 or so hours and sometimes a bit less, it really depends on how busy in work I am as I will use it less if we're busy

I only have vibrate active on my phone during the night, when I'm sleeping. I don't notice any inordinate draining of the battery as a result.

You know, I'm not impressed with the vibrate on my 928 to begin with. I think I will give this a try.

 

[Yakkob]

Defo going give it a try. I wasn't that impressed with the vibrate and usually missed communications with it on anyway. The difference is quite staggering.

 

[abhishek8605]

Yep tried this a long time back and works. For some reason, on the 920 the vibration really drains the battery.

 

[borasar]

vibration was pretty strong before GDR1 or GDR2 (dont' remember which one it was), I think a lot of people complained about the vibration rattle on the 920s so with GDR they really tuned it down. Most of the time I don't hear or feel the vibrate

I have not been impressed with vibe on any of my WP devices.

Another way to save battery life is by using WiFi instead of cellular data. Hope this helps

I found 3g / H+ eats out more battery life as opposed to 4g.. I have left both wi fi and 4g on for weeks and can confirm that. The down side is if you are out and about, the o/s will still try to connect via wi fi... even though auto connect and search are off so you have to manually turn off wi fi, which is not a big deal but can be a pain if your rushing out the office.

It was proven in your mind and on your device, doesn't make a hair of difference on my 810 ( internals of a 920 )

but 920 has a 2000 mAh battery 810 has a 1800 mAh. I get 1 day 15 hours or 1 day 20 hours and the 5 hr difference is

dependent on which battery saver mode I choose.

Glad it works for you tho' since you can't have a back up battery to slip in when needed, that is really dumb.

 

[russshoe]

This works for me big time

 

[cckgz4]

This works for me big time as well, even though I don't own a 920. Haven't charged my phone since 8 am, and have been using my phone the same consistently day to day (moderate).

 

[xplod566]

So if i dont get much calls,then even if i keep the vibration off it still gives good backup!1

[Yakkob]

Good to see other peeps having success and proving it too. It is such a big difference to battery life.

 

[cckgz4]

This has been consistently working everyday. There's days when I leave the house with 80% and still have battery left when I come home. Other platform users I told about this says it works for them too

 

[taymur]

how do you turn off the vibration? not the one in the ringtones, but the touch feedback?

 

[Yakkob]

The only vibration i switch off is in ringtones, which in turn sorts it for all notifications. The only vibrate i receive is when i cycle power on the phone.
