Lumia 1020 battery life with here+

My Lumia 1020 battery life is very poor when using here+ for navigation. The phone also gets hot. Typically it only can be used for about two hours.
Even when connected to the car cigarette lighter outlet the battery consumption is faster than charging and the phone gets hot.
Is this normal or should I send it for service? The phone is about 4 months old and in normal use the battery life is more than one day and I have not noticed any heating either. I have installed all available updates regularly. I have also installed the maps I normally use into the phone.

Thanks,
I understand TomTom is not a phone and has less fuctions than Lumia. For this reason its power consumption should also be lower. I believe though, that a phone maker like Nokia has put a lot more efforts to reduce and optimise power consumption.
I have now been testing with a 3.1 A charger in the car and it is able to charge the battery while navigating. The device does get hot, however, but as you say it is normal.
I did also try to use it when biking and was using a 10 Ah Powerbank with 2 A outlet. That did not seem to be able to overcome phone's power consumption, but the battery was slowly reducing charge. This arrangement would anyway allow several hours navigating, which is quite enough for normal use. Without this external battery its useless for longer biking or walking tours, unless you turn off navigation when it is not necessary. This is a bit complicated, though. TomTom is even worse for this kind of off-line use, its battery seems to be quite small.
I also noticed that it is important to remember to turn off navigation when keeping the phone in pocket, it really gets uncomfortably hot there.
I'll also have to study Lumia's manual a bit more carefully, as I had often difficulties in changing targets and turning off navigation. Probably just because I had misunderstood some instructions.

HT1414 Is iOS 6.0.1 Killing anyone's battery life. No change other than installing iOS 6.1 today...now I cannot get 5 hours of battery life with everything disabled!!!

This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

IPhone 3gs Battery life with 3.1 firmware

Any news regarding battery life with firmware 3.1???? I have lost at a minimum 25% after upgrading from 3.0.1 to 3.1. Have reset....the device alone and with iTunes....Need help...

I originally posted this in the wrong discussion...
Since upgrading to 3.1, it looks like the biggest battery drain is due to using PUSH with my Exchange email. I can turn off PUSH, use FETCH (even over 30 minute polling intervals) and battery life is close to 24 hours on a charge. Turning on PUSH, but not using it for email (other than my .Mac account (MobileMe), decreases the life by a couple of hours, still well beyond the normal 10 hour work day.
Turning PUSH on for 3 Exchange folders (Inbox and 2 sub folders) results in a drastic reduction in battery life. It can use over 50% charge while on standby... over a 3 hour period. I've managed this to an acceptable (8-12 hours, depending on phone calls) by limiting using Exchange rules to keep most important email to the Inbox and one sub-folder (I may eventually leave all important stuff to the Inbox) and move other stuff into different folders that I can still check on occasion.
Other PUSH activities, using apps like BeejiveIM, AP News, MLB.com, i.TV and even .Mac don't seem to affect the phones battery life too badly.
I'm wondering if Exchange w/PUSH is doing too much, besides listening for new mail and alerting on it. Could the process be simplified to only listen, alert, and mayby increment the count (not downloading headers or message bodies until one actually checks for messages... the iPhone still polls once you open a mail folder anyway).

Lumia 800 battery life is now worse with 12070 fir...

Upgraded the firmware to 12070 3 weeks ago (UK 3 customer) and for a couple of days I got the enhanced battery life - great.
Within a week however I was back to square one, or worse, with a full battery charge lasting 12 hours maximum. Probably worse than it was before 12070.
I take off the charger in the morning and within 20 minutes of browsing maybe a dozen web pages, couple of texts, I'm probably down to 90%.
not making calls, or sending many texts/emails/tweets... or using many of the other apps (because the battery runs down)....
any advice?
Hardly using the phone and still seeing it out of power by 8pm every night wasnt exactly what I signed up for.
Am I expecting too much?

When talking battery drain, it's important to know what your Lumia has going on in the background:
How many apps w/ background access?
What apps are they?
How many email accounts do you have connected?
What are their sync intervals.
Do you keep bluetooth on/paired while idle?
WiFi?
is your max data connection E or 3G?
Do you find that if you're using 3G that it's on E a lot?
All of these things contribute to power drain and it's good to know. Regardless I think you need to contact Nokia for a replacement. Here's wny?
My Cyan Lumia 800 is 3.5mo old. I gave it 12070 well over a month ago.
4 email accounts. 1 is "as they arrive", the other 3 sync at 1-2hr intervals.
I keep WiFi on at all times.
Same with bluetooth.
I have 2 background tasks: Appointile & Clever ToDo
Max data connection E while at home and 3G when not home.
When I go out and about, I play music via bluetooth earphones for 1-3 hours. I play a bit on the web and a few games throughout the day. Maybe a phone call or two. More games in the evening and then setting it face down when I sleep. I wake up and still have over %25 battery left

Pick up metal objects with zen micro headphones? battery life with firmware 1.02

hey all
just purchased my zen micro couple days ago.
the package we got here in downunder is satifying. included were the wired remote and also the stand/case with belt clip. these were the only reasons that made me choose this over the ipod mini.
this has not occurred to me until tonight, but the headphones seems to act as magnets and were stuck to each other as the phones were dangling
i never noticed this happening with other phones
also the battery life of my zen was horrendous. its lasted 5 hrs with eq and smart volume on. the zen was on hold the whole time as the actions were controlled by the wired remote.
this was with the firmware that was shipped with the player .0.03 i believe
have just updated the firmware now, and will be testing the battery life to see if the problem is rectified.
if not, then an exhange for an ipod is inevitable.

Yep, SV is a battery killer, around a 50% drop in life has been meaured and the effect is known to be pretty negligible.
And as others have said, them headphones have magnets in, like pretty much any speaker

Lumia 900 battery Lumia 900 Battery life very poor

I was very surprised by this phone Lumia 900, although it has a single-core processor, it moves very quickly. Unfortunately i'm extremely disappointed with the battery life. First battery charge lasted about 4 hours and now after 10 days of use, only 6 hours with all features turned off except wi-fi and the battery saver is on. I would like to know if Nokia can replace the device. It is the first time Nokia disappoints me. I've had so far only Nokia phones and i don't think that i can exchange with other company. I would like Nokia to come up with a quick fix.

Nokia will usually only consider replacement if the fault is not fixable. You should get the ball rolling by getting it checked out at your local Nokia Care Point. They may be able to diiagnose the fault and correct it if possible.

Lumia 920 battery life suddenly changed

Hi, everyone. I am a newbie here. I had my red 920 since 11/9 and it has been great until this Tuesday. Previously the battery was great and after full charge it usually showed battery life 1day or even longer. This Tuesday I used camera a lot. The handset did get warmer because of flash and focus assist lamp. After that night the battery darin rate became really fast. After one overnight charge 100% battery only shows 9hours and drain rate was like 10% per hour. Any one has suggestions why this occured suddently? Do I need to reset the phone to factory?
Thanks a lot

Hi
I had similar issue I went to Microsoft store,they didn't understand the problem.
they said background tasks, WiFi,location service etc. Everything was offline.
The issue started after December patch update.
The system keeps dropping signal very often and it tries to reconnect to 4G and LTE making battery drain, This is as per the Tech at Microsoft store...
Use wall charger for 3-4 hours. That helps. Also let the battery drain to less than 10% and charge , Turn of all your background tasks that helps...
No word from Nokia yet., Wireless charger doesn't work well.
Also when i tried logging in from Lumia 920 to post this message, the popup login on the sign in doesnt work. Also when you post the scrolling doesnt work really well like on the desktop. Not sure if its the site issue or IE10 issue
The Spell check for Lumia is still not fixed. it suggested Aluminia... can some mod from Nokia put in a request to fix this ?
Regards

Lumia 1020 Battery wrong status

When you leave Lumia 1020 connected to the charger after the battery Full charge, the battery meter starts to decrease displaying false value for battery charge. To reset it to display the correct battery status, you should restart the phone.
The battery management software needs fix.

Thanks,

Lumia 710 battery life has changed

First of all I should say that i can't download anything from the market since August (or something like that), Zune's Team is trying to solve the problem since last week, but nothing worthy until now...
On the other hand since Monday but battery life has changed, and even with the full battery the prediction of time (displayed on settings menu) until it becomes empty is about 16 hours, nothing more. Before that I could see a prediction of more than 40 hours, and the phone used to last that long. Now, with the same applications, etc. it decreases drastically, should i send the phone for warranty?
Thanks.

Battery percentage on phones can't be right all time, you can always get more or less than what the system tells. If your Lumia 710's battery lasted 40 hrs then you are lucky or you haven't used it much, mine has never gone past 15 hrs with meticulous monitoring and usage. Please check for any recent apps you downloaded, uninstall it and check switching off Wi-fi and bluetooth if they are switched ON always.
Regarding your issue with Marketplace, is you phone time zone and country settings are correct?.

Lumia 900 - Battery Life

Ok, so I thought I would make this post as all I seem to see on the forums is complaints on battery life.
Battery life for me is amazing, BUT what I will say is the more I use it the less battery it uses, the more it sits on standby in the day the more it seems to use the battery.
So I have no complaints with battery because I use my phone non stop pretty much, so I want that clear to people who do not have a Lumia and is put of by the amount of people complaining saying it is poor.
So for the outsiders looking in and are worried, don't be. it is fine.
My phone typically goes through a 17 hour day and doesn't go below 50% and again that is non stop use

I agree, no issue with battery life...

Lumia 800 battery life

I've had my lumia for 4days now, it came with the new update preinstalled but the battery life on this phone is still really poor. It will only last for a few hours including when I have the battery saver turned on. Is there anything I'm missing or?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Battery life on all new phones will seem poor for the first few days or so. Battery life should improve a fter a few recharge cycles. Other things to look out for are applications running in the background. Press and hold the back button to check, and if there are use the back button to quit out of each application rather than pressing the Windows start key.
There are a couple of threads already on the forum giving tips on how to increase battery performance.

Nokia Lumia 1520 battery life

I'm planning to buy one soon, how does battery life last when you guys are browsing over your cellular network(3G/4G)?

For me Excellent. I can use the phone nearly 2 days, and 1 day with heavy use (gaming, music, video, office). Really good battery life.

What can I do to save my battery life with the new ios 7.3 update

I Loved the ios 7.3 update. My battery lasted for the whole day and I use my phone a lot. I did the ios 7.3 update yesterday and my battery life is horrible. With 2 hours into my day today I was down to 80% battery and I hardly used my phone at all. I love my iphone, but this update was a horrible mistake for Apple!

Thank God that I am not the only one who lost battery life in 7.0.3.
I haven't changed settings from 7.0.0 to now. So I am not going to change settings. With that said my brightness is always at about half or lower, depending on the ambient light. Bluetooth is always off. LTE has always been on since I bought the 5 last year. Wifi stays on, connected or not. So with all these settings as they are, there has been a huge difference in battery life from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3.
I could swear that I went from 100% to 83% charge while I slept for 7 hours. ***??? Really?
I'll test it out again tonight.
I am at work and I turned off LTE for s&g. And still saw 5% drop in 40 minutes with a 2 or 3 minute use.

Battery life with os x 10.8? Dies SO fast?

So I just upgraded to os x 10.8.0 today and when I initially bought my macbook pro, the battery life was kinda already pretty bad. It's a 2009 model that I bought off of ebay and the user said he had replaced the battery 2 months ago (so around April or so). He said that the battery would last 5-6 hours with average use (surfing the web, youtube, facebook, etc.). He completed wiped the hard drive clean before sending me the laptop and when I got it, I installed Snow Leopard and the battery life was CRAP. it lasted me maybe 3.5-4 hours. So i emailed him and he said that he had the most recent operating system before, but he wiped it clean to send to me and included the snow leopard installation discs. So, I searched it on google and everywhere and I still don't know why. I thought that upgrading to 10.8 would help, but it's exactly the same. My laptop is currently on the lowest brightness before it goes completely black, I'm watching a youtube vid, on facebook, and typing this. My battery went from 100% to 86% in 30 minutes. 30 minutes! That's ridiculous! Would upgrading to 10.8.1 or 10.8.2 or even to mountain lion help?? I don't know what to do!!

Hello,
Thanks for your suggestions.
I've resolved this problem.
As i guessed, the cable connection between the samsung lcd monitor and the mac mini was the source of the problem.
I bought a DVI cable, right on replacing the D-Sub cable into new DVI one, it's gone.
I feel lucky because i don't know what was the exact problem but it's fixed.

How to expand battery life with iOS5 on iPhone 3GS, it's shorter than before?

I upgraded to iOS 5 and since then the battery doesn't seem to last that long any more. Are there any settings I could change to improve that?

Just as a heads up -- I've been out all day for the last two days with my 3G without recharging, and I still have a half-full charge at the end of the day with bluetooth on (though not paired all the time) with Wi-Fi on, and with three or four hours of internet and music usage a day. I don't fetch data, but have it set to check e-mail every 15 minutes. And it has been on 3G the entire time...it doesn't run down as fast as some people might think -- in fact, it is a lot longer battery life than any other 3G phone I have owned from ATT.
