10-15 hours with moderate to heavy use for me. (Whatsapp, sms, twitter, skype, browsing, listening to music for 30 mins). Plus, I found out that using a static photo on the lock screen boosts battery life on standby greatly!
I typically get around 35-40 hours of normal usage before the battery drains completely. There are some random days (once a month or so) when the battery drains much quicker. A reboot seems to fix the issue and hopefully the next round of updates will iron out these discrepancies. Here is a screenshot from a week ago .

How do you do it ? (your pic shows over 3 days) - do you keep your mobile network on 2G as maximum connection speed ? ... and just switch to higher connection speed when needed ?
will turning location off and deleting skype really help the battery? Because for now to help my l920 i turned lte off to 3g because it was killing the battery. Btw i have a very good lte reception.The estimated time remaining (3 days) is not very accurate and can change quite a bit with consistent usage. My real world tests show that I get ~40hrs of normal usage and that is better than any smartphone I have owned in the past. I have very good LTE reception at work and home the two places that I spend most of my time and IMO it is rather pointless to use a flagship phone in 2G mode.:wink:
I have wifi always on, NFC turned off, bluetooth turned off and location mostly off. I toggle location when I need to use Maps/Nokia Drive and the GPS fix is pretty quick for me.
Turned off background tasks for most of the applications including Nokia Drive. I uninstalled skype early on when I found my battery life taking a considerable hit and I have had no real problems since then.
Try turning off the background tasks for your applications and see if it helps
I have been searching for this maximum connection speed setting but cannot seem to find it. I have 4G LTE at home and it appears to affect battery life, but there is no such category as "mobile network" in settings. All I can find is an option to turn off the data connection completely. Am I simply blind and don't realize it yet?

Sounds a weird question but... do you make many voice calls?
