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 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 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.

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 720 battery life?

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 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 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.

Lumia 900 battery reads 0%

Ever since I've had my phone, it randomly can't read the battery % anymore and drops to 0% and activates the below 20% battery saver mode....is there any 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.

Problems with battery life post reset and 12070 wi...

Hi
I have been trying to get my Lumia 800 battery life to decent levels but even with a hard reset and the 12070 update my battery with 3g turned on struggles to last 12 hours even without use.
I have tried just about everything but when I turn 3G off battery life is brilliant. If I turn 3G on though initially battery drain seems okay at 80ma but after 5 mins or so it increases to 250ma even going as high as 350ma.
The only thing I can think is that the 3G part has an issue but I am not 100% sure how I go about checking this out.
I do not have a service center near I think (North East Scotland)
Any ideas?
Cheers

Hi all,
@kinaton,
While that is true the point here is that when a network had bad signal it will cause the Lumia to use a lot more energy to (continuously) try and get a connection as long as you have mobile data enabled. If your network does not support EDGE anymore it would be best to switch off mobile data all together as at those moments it's hardly usable anyway with the connection cutting out regularly.
@alwaysZeroHour
With the described action I get about 32-35hours of usage myself, having mobile data and WiFi on all the time and actively using it throughout the day. Not that it is an issue either way as I connect my Lumia to the charger as soon as When I am at home anyway.
If you have any further questions let me know.

Your Battery Life after Lumia 800 Update

Hi,
I recently updated my Lumia 800 to firmware (1600.24838106.11500) and my battery life is much much better. However, I am still not seeing an expected fixed full charge of ~ 1502mAh, which it had before the update. Nokia says it may be an issue with the phone but before I send it back could any else confirm that post update they can get a max capacity charge reading in the 1500mAh's? Could there still be a little more battery charge a firmware update could tap into for all of us or is my battery weakened by pre-update battery management? My battery at the moment polls:
1) Battery Saver Life remaining around 1day 9hours.
2) Battery Status Full Charge Capacity varies between ~1350 & 1420 mAh.
3) Charging using approved Nokia Lumia 800 chargers.
3) Three charging cycles completed.
Cheers for the help.

After the update and a hard reset;
The max battery ranges between 1322 and 1478
For the 1st few days I was getting about 26hrs out of it so quite a leap from 6-9hrs but this morning the phone was dead after 16hrs - with most of that time just on standby.
Plugged in the charger and there's a battery charging image but after 15 mins I still can't turn the phone on to make a call (with charger in).
During this time my Blackberry 8520 was charged up on Saturday and the battery power shows 3 bars left out of 5.
The Lumia looks really nice but I think it's covering up internal outdated junk and the only thing that's keeping it selling is smoke and mirrors marketing.
335 hrs standby time - nearly 2 weeks!!!
55 hrs of music playback - over 2 days!!!!
It's like they plucked the numbers out of the sky... "this will sell it"!
My phone is now coming up to 2 months old and all this "there's a patch to fix it" has proved nonsense. Sure they've increased it a little but I'm sure I could have got more life out of it by setting the brightness to low myself.

Lumia 920 overheating/battery life

I sent my phone in for repair a week ago because of a loose battery and have since got the phone back and it is all fine and it doesn't clunk around now, however I noticed on my commute to work this morning and on my way home that when I was playing games on the device (temple run, asphalt 7 and VBA8), it would cause the phone to run really hot as If I was touching a radiator. Battery life also dipped from 99% to 13% within roughly and hour and a half of use, so I have attached a screenshot of the battery level app to display this. Is this a known issue or another repair job?

Same problem here. I got a new black lumia 920, 2 weeks ago at SLot limited, Ikeja. and it heats up ,
1. whenever I browse on 3G, (FB, twitter or skype)
2.when I take some pictures (like 7 at a go)...forget games, I won't even go there
I've turned most of the perks (NFC, location et al off)... I thought this was a smartphone, why do we have to make it a 3310 for it to work...I also saw the video,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU6soZi61GQ, If the problem is the procesor, why doesnt Nokia do the dignified thing and call back the faulty phones or equip the care centres with the technical know-how to insulate these phones. especially for their flagship phone... This is absolutely sad.
I was actually thinking of going to the care centre before but from the reviews above, It just a waste of time. We should all have been advised at the point of purchase that we were buying a radiator....hiss

Lumia 710 Remaining Battery Life % Not Correct

I've had my Lumia 710 for a few months now and over the past week the remaining battery life percentage is way wrong. For instance, one day I noticed my battery icon was really low so I went to check the % and it said it was -4%. I was even able to make a 10 minute call and it never died on me. A few days ago I had about 70% but when I checked the phone a few minutes later it was around 10%. A few times I've even had it die on me and it never gives me the critical battery warning.
This morning it was dead when I woke up so I brought my charger to work. After charging only 30 minutes it said I had 57% battery. But now 4 hours later I'm sitting at 98% and it looks like it won't go past that. Is something wrong with my battery or could the battery life indicator just be way off? It was accurate the first few months after I got the phone so I don't know what is going on.

Hi stephwin,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
Sounds like they may be something wrong with the battery, especially the sudden battery "deaths" without any prior warning indicate that. We would advise you to visit your local Nokia Care point and let them have a look. Nokia Lumia 710 has a removable battery, so changing it should not be too much of a hassle if it comes to that.
Let us know how you get on,
