if your 'average use' includes a moderate amount of :
- sms
- calls
- internet browsing
- playing audio / video
that's normal.
when mine's really sober. no calls, just reading sms, and my regular daily alarm... i charge mine about every 4 days.
note, location service, gps, wifi, bluetooth rf, nfc, are not stuff average most folks may use all day. these items greatly use up the battery's charge.
on the average, my fone uses about 1-2% of it's charge per hour. on heavy use, the battery meter indicates a drain of about 7-8% per hour.
these are approximate figures only but may help...

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.

Hi, vinay1990. farby has a point in sending your phone to a Care Point for the battery of it to be fixed. But before sending your phone to a Care Point, have you tried isolating the case if there is really a problem with the battery? You may try performing the tips provided on this link: How can I prolong the battery life of my Lumia phone?. Link is intended for another region, but still helpful. Let us know the outcome.

HI Vikas,
Is your problem resolved? I bought new Nokia lumia 720 red few days back, I am seeing the same issues. Last night my battery was around 35% and data connection was off, still It was totally drained out by morning.
battery drains much faster in the first few days, you need to charge the battery a few times to get maximum battery performance

As advised by other members of the forum, it will take a couple of charge/discharge cycles for the battery to be stable.

Lumia 720 battery problem

I have been using my lumia 720 for almost a month now...
right now i am experiencing sudden loss of battery charge retention
Except my 2G connection all other network services are disabled(i have turned off location services, 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, 2G Data Connection, no back ground applicatons either).
To test i fully discharged my lumia then charged to 100%
The "Battery Saver" in "Settings read" - Remaining battery life : 100%
Estimated Time remaining : 1 day 18 hours(Then i made a couple of calls(not more than 1 minute)
Then Remaining battery life : 97%
if i play music it drops to 50% in less than couple of hours
Are any of you experiencing this??

@Libbra - are you on 3G or WiFi? both the wireless connection options will consume more power.
Try this out, charge your Lumia 720 overnight. Unplug in the morning, and find out if there is any change in your battery charge retention.
i had tried out the above and battery charge retention improved. it lasted 4 days with occassional browsing over WiFi, some calls over 2G and occassional Nokia Maps Navigation. it didnt die on 4th day but i charged it up anyway.
The problem i reported earlier still prevails. if i remove the battery charging once it reaches 100% the charge retention is not good.

sorry i don't know. the battery btw is 2000mah, i dont know if that would help. are u planning something?
..btw., i think it would be best if you refer to the current input of the ac adaptor that comes with it. it may be able to take a bit more than that but i really won't want to experiment and later on possibly ruin my unit.

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 ?

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 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

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.

Lumia 920 battery life issue

I have a small battery queries on my phone, Lumia 920. The phone is new, I am approx. 1 month of goes perfectly, only last night I noticed a strange thing, I say. I had to hang up (shutdown) because I was in a medical practice with 12% battery status. After about 2 hours we reopened (power on) and found that my battery status shows 74%. And went so until the next recharge, about 36 hours. It is normal to happen? Thanks in advance.

It is not normal but it can happen. Battery meters are very approximate and readings are based on output voltage which can sometimes temporarily dip or rise due to use.
You can minise the discrepancy by calibrating the meter. This is done by running the battery down and then charging till full without interruptions.
