Ok, so I've had my Lumia 920 since about release date. It's been working great, with very few issues. The battery has been doing very well for me and I generally love the phone.
Now on to my problem. I am posting this to see if anyone else is having similar issues.
I used the 920's navigation many times so far and I encountered an issue.
While using the Navigon app to reach my destination about an hour away, I noticed that when I got there my phone was almost dead, yet I had been charging the phone the whole time, so assuming it was my car power adapter I decided to do some testing at home using USB in a little more controlled environment.
I have used the Nokia Drive and Navigon apps for this test.
With the Navigon app I set a destination and let Navigon route to the destination in demo mode while plugged into USB on my computer, the battery discharges faster than it can recharge and the phone gets extremel hot. Thinking maybe it was just the navigon app, I decided to try the same thing with the Nokia Drive app.
I started the Nokia Drive app and set a destination, although it can't demo the route I let it sit there in the navigation mode. The phone was warm, but not hot this time. The phone gained little to no battery charge, leaving me to believe that in some circumstances the battery could also drain faster than it would charge even using Nokia Drive.
For me this is a huge problem because I typically use my cell phone for GPS since it's a very convenient solution. I also typically drive long distances for work, in which case my 920's battery would die before even reaching my destination.
Again, my battery seems to be fine on a normal day to day basis, the issue seems to be when I'm trying to use GPS. Has anyone else extensively used the GPS on this phone and run into similar issues?
