e.g. 1 hour web-browsing, 1 hour call, 30 SMS, 2 hours music per day
With 3G data connection on, WIFI off, etc.
And lasts for xxx hours / xx% left after xx hours
Can you share the battery performance of Lumia 800?
First day I got 16 hours, second day 22 hours and now its up to around 24-25 hours.
3 email accounts (check every hour), 1 hour web, facebook, couple of calls (around 10 mins) and a few sms. Wifi on.
92% after nearly 3 hours, push on for 3 email accounts, Mehdoh and twitter sync in the background. WiFi is on but not connected at some points so I've switched it off. I've also sent a few texts, downloaded an app or two and some attachments.
Current estimate for battery life is 13 hours left.

Out of interest is this your first day battery? Because mine seems to be getting better every day.
I have the phone for 1 week, I never get to 0%, this is just what the battery saver screen tells me.
But, I think this good estimation more or less 1 hour.
can someone compare battery life with Samsung Galaxy S ?
Question about charging
This marks my return to Windows (I had the venerable MDA Vario II) and more recently I have been using Android (Hero & ZTE Blade) but now it's all about Lumia 800 and I'm blown away so far with this phone & WP7.
I just wanted to ask if this is "normal": with the phone completely switched off (not sleeping) I then plug in the charger the phone would boot up.
If the phone is on & plugged into the charger and I switch it off it would then reboot. Is there no way to charge the phone without it being on?
Thanks.
I have to wait 1 or 2 weeks before reviewing the battery life, every new phone i used in the last years improved dramatically it's battery life after about 10 charges.
Got one of these last Wednesday when they came out. Moved on from HTC desire whcih I enjoyed a lot for different reasons. The Lumia is a superb phone but I was a bit worried about the battery life on the first few days.
After a usual day the battery was at 15% the first day then 20% the second. Granted I was fiddling with it as is normal for a new phone but my HTC would be on about 50-60% doing the same.
I remember that you need to do a couple of full charges and the battery should get better and today it was on 50% when I got home so that is a big improvement and hoping it will improve more.
I did have both my mail accounts on push to start with but have changed them to once every 30 minutes. Wifi always on, bluetoooth always off. All other sync options on so live tiles and people hubs syncing however much they do.
All in it's getting better and I am extremely happy with the phone. I took some pics yesterday and they look amazing on the PC but not so good on the phone so don't despair if they look crappy when you review them on phone.
You may have seen that I've been getting good battery, today I used the phone a LOT after going to visit a family member and spending a lot of time on the bus (traffic in Birmingham is bad at the best of times ) here's the results:
Took off charge at 11:00. It's now 21:03.
Around 3 hours of music. Wifi always on, Bluetooth off. Spent about 1/2 hours not connected to celluar network. Lots of web browsing and using web applications like Facebook and Twitter. About 30 mins gaming.Facebook chat on. 20 SMSs sent, 1 phone call and a few IMs via Facebook and MSN Messenger. Twitter and facebook accounts both connected. 1 Email service, about 15 emails received today pushed to the phone as they arrive.
Remaining battery life: 28%
Estimated time remaining: 2 hours (will jump to 3 with battery saver on)
Time since last charge: 10 hours.

I think it's a very good result for those who got used to charge phone every night. Just OK
Go to dialer and call ##634# this will activate the diagnostic app....
There is a option called Battery Status in the diagnostic app...
From there you can check your current discharging, maybe it's i better way to compare the discharging....
Check with different options what is draining your battery..
Had mine a week and a half now, my average use is as follows:
Take off charge @9am, Wifi on all the time, have Facebook, Twitter synced through People Hub.
Have Gmail synced but on Manual, Outlook on push and Windows Live only for Xbox Live.
I also have FB app with push notifications on.
I prob listen to music at most half hour a day, very little browsing on phone due to using SGS2 as my main phone, check Marker place a couple of times, no SMS sent and luckily if I make a phone call on it.
This is my works phone so mainly used of emails. So I receive on average 30 emails a day.
Phone switches to battery saver about 5ish and then runs on until about 11pm before dying.
So my thoughts are standby time is crap for what I use it for, battery saver is good but that's due to auto sync being turned off!

just wanted to know what an average battery life is because my hero eats charge very very quickly
please post how long it lasts and how long you use it: games, browsing, music ect
I can get through the day with no real issue, have GPS on, WiFi on but set to switch off on screen off (advanced settings), Bluetooth on.
Twidroid set to update every 30 mins
HTC Mail set to manual update
FeedR (RSS) set to update every 4hrs
Facebook set to update every 4hrs
Use HTC Mail quite a bit when away from my Mac
Twidroid a lot during the day to tweet and read tweets
Never use it for music, browse a bit but not that much unless out and about.
Games rarely.
I did find (on the v1 firmware) that Peep and Stocks were real resource and battery killers. Since stopping using them the Hero has been rock solid and waay faster. even better now with the v2 firmware.
TBH, the battery lasts a lot longer than my Nokia N82 and N85 ever did and they were not using WiFi or Twitter etc.
4-8 hours but under crazy usage. If its my day off. 18 hours ish.
About 1 to 2 days. Occasionally, some process goes crazy and it drains the battery - usually after charging the phone. Now I tend to reboot after charging the phone. I don't have GPS running normally. WiFi switches off when not in range of my remembered networks. I have Advanced Task Manager to kill off processes. Removed Twitter from the phone. Use Twidroid - checks every 2 hours. Turned off data synchronization for calendar and contacts - I do that manually. I leave gmail on. I take 5 to 10 calls per day. If you receive a lot of messages and gmail, turning off audio notification/buzz will also reduce drain on your battery - but this trades off you getting notified in a timely fashion except via visual (flashing LED).
I found that killing off the Advanced Task Manager application reduced awake time on the phone from about 22% to about 12%. Killing off the actual application doesn't affect the part that periodically wakes up and kills tasks - it just removes the module that sits in the notification bar and displays running tasks and other system information. Checking the awake time gives a reasonable indication of other applications that keep your phone from sleeping and reducing power consumption. This extended my phone battery life another half day or so.
mine lasts for about 24-48 hours. depending on usage.
By running APNdroid, my battery holds its charge for 2 days
It barely lasts the day out, but I use it!! and dare I say, make calls on it during the course of the day, shock horror! The battery isn't great. Emails and calls mainly
3 days with all stuff off and listening to music.
But i do take a few calls a day, up to 15 mins daily for now.
about 24h with gmail and gcal on, exchange mail as it arrives and pop mail on 30min checks, weather sync on, about 30min browsing, 30min music, 30min talking and 30-60min playing games :/
me happy
should be more, shouldn't it?
from what i hear, iPhone lasts less, my Touch HD had a 1500mah battery and it lasted shorter, friend's Nokia E71 with 3 mail accounts set up doesn't make it over 12h really and she doesn't use it for anything but mail and sms/calls....i can't remember the last phone that lasted me 3 days, probably Nokia 6230, and that was long time ago :/
2 days easily with couple of hours of listening music per day and reading gmail / browsing a bit, sms and about an hour of talking.
I dont have Twitter sync on, no bluetooth, no wifi.. Google does sync all the time
with activesync set to receive emails as it arrives and no more than 30mins of calls, i get about 12hrs batt time before recharging.

My Xperia did laste 3/4 days..... 1500.
But why don't these companies work on the batt preformance :S
Doubt it's relevant, but how do you charge your battery, and also your initial charge from new.
This is the first phone I've had that I didn't leave the initial charge on all night, and just took off after a few hours when it was charged up. Do you think that affects the performance of the battery?
Do any of you let it run out past the amber warning colour as a completely flat battery is probably better to charge?
The main reason I don't leave it on all night is because it gets really hot.
All my other phones were left on charge all night, every night, but they weren't this type of phone....

How do you access the advances settings for WiFi?? Please tell me where to find them. Thanks.
The Hero dosen't last me a working day. But I make a lot of calls. I prefer to carry two batteries rather than having to keep turning things on and off...
2-3 days with most stuff on.
I get at least a full working day out of it, that's with 3g on for the majority of the day, lot of tweet/fb bit of web, some music, text and calls. Pretty good tbh, especially compared to my old n82!
About 24hrs when i use it alot and have WiFi on all the time..
I seem to be chewing through the battery. By midday I was under 50%, though I have been playing with it a bit.
How long is everyones battery lasting?
I also have activesync (sync as arrive), hotmail (sync every 30mins) and facebook setup.
Same here. My red light just started flashing. Was fully charged this morning. I've only been playing with it this evening.Most of the day its been on standby. No calls, SMS, just push email for exchange, Gmail and hotmail. Downloads and radio for about 30mins just now.
Oh dear, same here...
I was hoping I had a dodgy phone, mine goes flat really quickly.
Example: Went to bed with it FULLY charged, woke up with it FLAT (9hrs).
Hotmail, Exchange and Wifi all on.
I just removed the wifi and saw there is an significant increase in battery life..
Will have to test disabling the sync also and see
9 hours of sitting idle and only occasionally answering email and texts is my longest record so far. With Exchange sync (as items arrive), manual sync with a Windows Live account, location services disabled and all apps set to sync manually. Was getting much worse battery performance before this.
Although in Engadget's review of the Samsung Omnia 7, they were only getting around 8 hours of general use from the Omnia's 1500mAh battery. The Mozart has a 1300mAh, so it might just be a version 1.0 thing. Hopefully there's an update coming from Microsoft soon.
Yep, disabled wireless, set Exchange to sync every 30min and Windows live the same.
Have had about 10 hours with a couple of texts and calls, and am still around 95%.
So, it would appear enabling wireless = rediculous battery drain.
This would have to be fixable with an update, as my touch diamond lasted much longer and I doubt HTC would go and make worse hardware than they did 3 years ago.
Anyway, I am 'sort of' glad to hear others sharing my issue, as that means Microsoft will be hearing about it from their own people and hopefully resolve it.

On 3G with those feature, the phone would probably last a few days possibly a week if you NEVER used it.
It seems fine while sleeping on 3G.

Well not never used, Normal use 30 min of call and maybe 20 Text messages, chaking Facebook and Emails occasionaly on 3G would it last longer then a day ?
HD2 last just over 1/2 a day, iphone 3gs last for almost a day....
so would Mozart be about the same ?
I've played around with turning features on and off over the weekend. I've narrowed it down to data, most likely activesync or hotmail.
I'm going to wipe the phone and try it without my windows live ID and facebook, I'll just setup exchange.

Yeah, its definately data, thats why I sacrificed Outlook and Live email live syncing down to hourly, and it seems much much better.

I'm only getting about 9hrs with wifi and bluetooth off. One exchange on push other on hourly. Few calls but probably all total less than 10-15mins.
For comparison I would get about 36 hours on my Touch HD with WM6.0 and 18 or so with WM6.5 with same usage....
battery life is getting better
I have tweaked the sync settings for my accounts, and im generally getting a full day no problems. It easily does 3-4 hrs of Music on a full charge as well.
Ive watched a very intensive graphic movie ( Bolt ) on it and well no lag and great sound with SRS on.
very happy with the purchase!
I got about 4 hours to half charge yesterday with WiFi on, and about 20 mins of music. I am seeing how long it lasts with WiFi off today. So far at about 4 hours and it's reached 90-95% (a little hard to tell) with, 2 Exchange accounts set to as items arrive, a few SMS messages and a few minutes of browsing and general use. Also with the WeatherBug push service set to update hourly.
I'm thinking that things like music, talk etc reduce battery life by a much more significant amount than on other phones.
If I go to bed and wake up I still have about 90-95% battery after 8 hours.
So I find it quite odd that 10-15 mins call, 5 mins wi-fi and perhaps 20 mins of music can completely drain the battery over 8-9hrs.
Specs stating 405min (6h45min) talk time...
Currently at about 80-90% after 12 hours with WiFi and Bluetooth off. That's with 2 Exchange accounts sent to 'as items arrive', several text messages, a 5 minute call and some light browsing. No worse than my TD2 managed, maybe even a little better. I am in an area with quite strong 3G signal though so that might help. I also noticed Orange seem to only switch you to HSPA when you are actively using the data connection. My phone idles at normal 3G but switches to HSPA if I do anything data intensive.
I don't have a Facebook account so maybe that eats a lot of the battery life.
Anyone on Orange in London-
Apparently a number of their masts are down, which means 3g has been patchy as hell which would explain the battery drain as the radio would be going nuts.
According to the chap I spoke to all should be up and fixed by the 29th Oct.

Would explain why I have been having so many network problems - funny when I called to ask they assured me everything was fine.
Any idea how long they've been down as have been having horrendous network problems for past 4-6 weeks.
I had bought a Mozart when they first came out about a year ago, but back then battery life was dire, I took it of charger at 6am, it was flat by 2pm, although I loved the phone and interface I couldn't cope with that type of battery life so sold it and bought an iPhone 4.
I bought another Mozart on Friday as I do love the handset and was hoping battery life was maybe improved but sadly no better.
I take of the charger at 6am, before I go out the door at 7am its down to 90%, its again flat shortly after lunch time. I check twitter and emails for 5 mins in the morning then data is off, I do listen to music or radio at work but thats the height of it and its flat by 2pm, this is with 7.5
Surly somethings not right? My iPhone I keep data active all day, when I get home from work at 6pm its around the 50% mark, thats with listening to music all day and checking twitter and email a few times per day.
Anyone else experience this?
Mugen Battery
Get yourself one of these: HTC 7 Mozart Extended 1800 mAh Mugen Battery
most of the inbuilt apps such as "me" "email"... refresh constantly and use data
this might be reason
increase the refresh time to longer life
or try to deactivate all settings which are not really neccessary to be active whole time
Turn off Email sync to manual use Wifi and 3G only when required.
Turn screen brightness to normal and use dark theme as background, this should help else go for Mugen Power after market battery.
Mine isn't that bad, but it's not great either!
I get around 17 hours out of each charge with data on the whole time and emails checked every 15 mins. This includes around 1 hour of screen on time whilst listening to music.
My question is: Is the battery life of the Lumia 920 so bad, like they say?
Mine has been unplugged for 14 hours with heavy to moderate use and still has 20% left. Battery life got much better for me when I uninstalled the Battery Level for WP8 app. I'd say it's on par with the HTC One X or Galaxy S3.

it can be, if you don't terminate nokia drive and it is running constantly in the background
there are also some weird modes the OS can get into that cause faster battery drain. A reboot fixes that until the next time.
When it's working the right way, it should go all day with decent use on a single charge.

I checked my phone and the last time I plugged in was 1day and 2 hrs (i.e 26 hrs) ago. It still shows 79% battery life remaining.
I've made a few phone calls, checked emails regularly, took a 1 minute video (and uploaded to Skydrive) and some pictures. Minimal web browsing.
Turned on GPS to show it to somebody but didn't really use it.
I think if you make sure that unnecessary background tasks are turned off, then Nokia 920 has excellent battery life!
I've never been this pleasantly surprised with the battery life.

well it depends on many things. For me a bad GSM-Signal ****s up the battery very fast. (about 10 Hours) even in powersaving-mode. BUT from Saturday to monday with medium usage and in powersaving-Mode it took only 26% of Battery and than i went to work, where the Signal is poor and it took 9 hours to kill the battery :-/
So i would say, if Nokia fixes the radio, the lumia 920 will be great on battery life.

Update: Time since last charged: 2 days & 3 hrs (51 hrs). Battery remaining: 44%
I've been using my phone all this time - made a few calls, used Photobeamer to share pictures. Used bluetooth just for a few mins.
I will post a screenshot tonight but yesterday I went from 9 am -1240 until it died, I was making calls texting speed tests and listening to music aloud and taking pictures during the day also. its great battery life better than the One X, I would say about 18 hours battery if your playing games and taking videos compared to 15 for the one X
Here is my screen shot and my day of use:
5am wake up 5 text msgs, leave phone on with push notifications till 6pm (haven't touched it) 6pm-8pm constant testing and calling to make plans for the night, 8pm-8:30pm browsing flud reading RSS feeds. mild texting / calling till 2 am, wake up at 9 am mild texting and tweeting and at 5 pm this is the screen texting all day and lots of browsing
Here is the screen

I have noticed Wi-Fi uses alot of battery along with low signal, more than on most phones
My battery life fluctuates a lot, mostly having to do with signal strength. I live and work in a low service area; I never see above 2 bars of LTE/4g.
My battery lasts me the whole day of work; 8 hours. That is 8 hours with Data, WI-FI, Location on; listening to non-streaming music, regular texting, 3 email accounts polling (as items receive). 3 background apps. (Weather, WP Central, Moon 3d), Checking FB, etc. So high usage.
I do not have Nokia Drive installed, I found it killed my battery very quickly. I would be lucky if I got 5 hours of battery with it. It even affected my battery life even after uninstalling it (and rebooting the phone). Luckily I was able to fix it by installing the newest version; enabling the battery saver, uninstalling, and rebooting my phone.
My 920 had a battery drainer called Skype. Before the latest Skype update, the battery would last only a day with normal usage, I needed to recharge it every night.
Now, since the last Skype update, the battery life more than doubled, I can get almost 3 days of normal usage without charging, which is pretty good.

No. Well, not for me anyway,
It's definitely better than my old iPhone 4 in a like for like test (my daily work routine hasn't changed since I bought the L920).
If I listen to the BBC Radio app then I'll be down to about 30% by the end of the working day (just over 8 hours), but if I'm listening to audio on the device itself then I rarely drop below 80% before I leave the office. I'm very happy with the battery life on the L920, and unlike my flatmate with his GS3 I don't have to charge it up before I head out in the evening.
I am considering trashing my iphone 4s in favor of a lumia phone. It's good to know that the battery on a lumia phone is good if you dont let bad app run in the background.
Hi I'm looking for a discussion rather than a Q so I chose this section.
I'm looking to chat with Go users about the battery life. How long does your battery last and what do you use it for? I notice that it
has a comparatively small battery but this doesn't always mean low battery - and I notice this phone IS being officially updated to Jelly Bean. I think the lower resolution screen helps keep the CPU and battery relaxed perhaps? What's your usage like?
Per Day Usage
Phone calls
Music
Internet browsing
I'm using the Sola and I hate the battery, I have to charge it 1-2 times per day. I use it for 1 hour of browsing, 1 hour of music, 5 minutes of calls, lighting texting - then it dies, I hate it. I'm considering the Go or J. The J has poor CPU/RAM but far bigger battery vs the Go.
Go getting Jelly Bean

The GO has a *****n nice battery life I'm using a Sola and get round 16hours. My friend got a GO and his battery was after 9 hours from 100 on 80%!!
After 9 hours, your friend's Go went from 100 to 80%? That's not bad at all! Does he/she leave the internet on? That seems to be a huge battery killer but I need it. If the Go could last 2 days I'd buy it now...
I bought my XGO two weeks ago, and below is my battery life and its usage (sorry no screenshots)
Battery Life:
100% to 15% lasted around 45-50 hours
2 to 3 hours screen on time
Usage:
Exchange push sync (email, calendar)
Gmail push sync (email, calendar, contact)
Outlook.com sync every 1 hour (email, calendar, contact)
No Social Network (Facebook, Twitter, etc) sync
light web browsing of 15 minutes daily
Power Saver implemented:
Installed BitDefender PowerTuneup (disable all network connectivity from 1 - 6am daily, except only connected to basic phone network)
Restricted all background 3G data except for Exchange, and Google native services
Location, GPS, Bluetooth turned off 99.5% of time.
Screen Auto 55%
Battery life is almost the same as my Galaxy Nexus, but my Galaxy Nexus can never get more than 2 hours screen on time even with 2000mAh battery, I guess maybe the screen used up too much power... Battery life for Go is pretty good in my opinion, would be super if it comes with 1600-1700 mAh battery...

After 9 hours, your friend's Go went from 100 to 80%? That's not bad at all! Does he/she leave the internet on? That seems to be a huge battery killer but I need it. If the Go could last 2 days I'd buy it now...

Yes he did The whole day, his mobile Internet is activated and he has a screen on time of round 75%!!
I get about 4-5 hours nonstop browsing with brightness at about 30%, wifi and autosync on.
If wifi is off, I lose 2-3% while I sleep. That's about 7-8 hrs of sleep.
I keep data on and forced 3g during work. Signal is poor at my desk so with constant use I end up with about 30-40% after 7 hours if I didn't bring my charger.
Battery mileage really depends on how it's used and what's installed and what's running and how bright the screen is.
The bottom line is that this phone lasts one work day with me without having to charge.

My experience from Go's battery is that if you do not have 3G on is good. Otherwise it is draining too fast. I get 1-2 days battery life depending on the use. Usage is mainly phone calls and texting and a bit of browsing and checking fora through tapatalk or xda apps. For forum reading I use 2g/edge so to not drain my battery. Brightness is at auto with 100% max level. In general I don't think its battery cab endure a whole day of heavy use.. Screen usually drains 65-70% of battery according to statistics.

Xperia GO Battery Life
I got this phone two weeks ago after having a water ingress failure on my Motorola Defy.. what a shame, but now I'm happy. This ST27a is a great phone, I am not a phone movie watcher or gamer, so CPU and RAM are more than adequate for myself. Great look, light weight, perfect size AND waterproof (angels singing)... I ordered it unlocked and it came with ICS pre-loaded (4.0.4), at first it was such a huge disappointment as for the battery life, it was draining very very quickly almost needing two charges at day, there was a system update available but I was lazy enough to not install the Sony thing on my PC, then I finally got the weekend time and updated it (to the 6.1.1.B.1.10, KERNEL VERSION 3.0.8+) IT SOLVED MY BATTERY ISSUES!!!
The phone has a more than sufficient battery life, I do surf web every time during the day, have updates every 30 minutes for Gmail, Facebook, weather, news, everything, and it lasts from 8.00am at 100% to next 11.00am to 14% (which the preset low batt alarm sounds). Only thing I do is switch data off during night that's it. Screen brightness while in the office is at minimum but you can easily read it very clearly. I do take a lot of pictures for my work and some videos and still get that battery life. The phone is OK, just take care of which software version you have installed. I am sure that if I would turn the data off and activate it only while the screen is on, the batt would last at least two days (I will make this test and see what happens).... cheers.

With data, bluetooth and wifi off, I only lose about 1-2% overnight.
With Data on, this thing drains about 1% every 2 minute or so.
