Awful battery life in my 820

[WP_290]

Hello, I would like to know how much time you have between charges and how often do you use your phone? Probably since last week my battery life decreased A LOT!. I am not completly sure if its because 8.1 (I dont think so, I had 8.1 for a while) or a bad update. My battery life is ledd than half of day with minimal use, sometimes I also turn of glance screen and I deactivated almost all the apps in the background.

My cellphone is near a year old.

In the battery saver display I see that whatsapp is the app with more battery drain, but it doesnt seem too crazy.

Something I should try before look for a new battery or a new cellphone,,,:eck:

I have used this MPJ 2500 mAh battery almost a week now in my Lumia 820.

My experience is, that there is no difference between OEM 1625 mAh battery and MPJ 2500 mAh battery.

Case closed!

Have you changed your location in the last week? Poor reception can drain your battery very quickly.

Good question.

No, I have not. I have 21 Mb/s deal with my operator. Actually, effective range is between 5-20 Mb/s. Because of my health condition, I'll use 99% of my data traffic at home.

I must underscore, I charge battery by best method and best circumstances I could perform. And I can tell to You, there's no problems.

Sorry my bad or insufficient english.

Best part in this was, that the battery was cheap in price.
As I used to say, I have so limited amount of money, I can't afford cheap products. Lets hope, this thing doesn't explode, melt, turn to gozilla or something, what cheap things used to do.
