Lumia 920 - 3G & WiFi - Battery drain and device h...

I have been using my Lumia 920 since February and for the past 3 weeks I have noticed that while using 3G or WiFi the devices heats up a lot and battery drain is rapid.
I am not sure if the charging speed has increased as well, especially when connected to a computer.
I have disabled all apps in the background, NFC is disabled, done a soft reset and done a hard reset. The issue remains.
I am not sure if any update has caused this issue. This however is something I have not experienced previously and is constant now.
I have the 1308 update installed.
Please reply if there are any possble solutions to fix the issue. I do use 3G and WiFi on a daily basis for both professional and personal use.

Sory cjlim, but I cannot see any Nokia Suport tab below. Could you please provide link to the Nokia support? I was actually redirected to this forum from Czech Nokia site through link called "Go to technical support forum".
Anyway, back to the topic. I use multiple apps that are syncing (skype, whatsapp, viber, push notification of emails form exchange server, sync of emails from na imap server every 2 hours, weather app checking wheather 2x a day).
The point is that once my mobile network is set to 2G mobile data (EDGE) the battery stands for almost 2 days which is acceptable battery life. Once I let the phone use 3G mobile data (HSDPA in my case) the phone does not last for even full day. And I am using the phone in absoluely the same way in both cases. Hence I cannot imagine that a application would be killing battery only when on 3G data but would be behaving nicely when on 2G data. 
I must also note that my wifi is always ON (no matter if I am on 2G or 3G) so the data transmission should primarilly be done via wifi, right? And even if I am whole day home (working from home office) connected to home wifi network the battery is draining fast when mobile data are allowed on 3G (when on 2G everything is fine).
I wonder if some hardware component responsible for 3G data communication could be faulty in my Lumia820 (considering not so many people are experiencing this issue)?

  • Macbook Pro battery drained and now it won't turn on

    I have an early 2012 Macbook Pro. A couple of weeks ago my charger broke and I couldn't get a new one straight away, so the battery drained and it shut off. I don't normally let that happen, but there wasn't a whole lot I could do about it this time. I have a new magsafe charger now and the LED is solid orange as normal, but the macbook still wont turn on even though it's been charging for a good 50 minutes now. It sounded like it was booting up a couple of times and the first time the screen lit up grey and the loading animation (grey bars) showed up, but now it's just black again. I know it's going to take longer than normal to charge after the battery being completely drained for so long, but is it normal for it to take so long or does it sound like it's bolloxed?

    Try a SMC reset:

  • Battery drained and will not charge

    the battery on my droid ultra completely drained last night and I plugged it in to the wall charger this morning and it is not responding. Has anyone let their battery drain all the way ans had issues getting it to charge? It has been plugged in for about 30 minutes and the screen is black and the device will  not turn on.
    thanks!

        ddvh, let's bring life back to that device. I recommend that you allow it to charge for approximately 15 more minutes until the battery charging icon populates on your screen. If the device still does not power on, you will need to press/hold the power and volume up button to reboot your device. Keep us posted. We're here to further assist you if needed.

  • IPod touch 5th generation battery drained and restored after app is closed

    I got my iPod Touch 5th generation about a year ago. I noticed it has since had an issue on the battery life that I thought was common so I did not do anything about it.
    The issue my iPod has is that whenever I use an app that requires immense energy to function, the battery drains real quick. But after I closed the app, the battery life fills up again like it has only used a little.  Video recording especially drains the battery the most where after 10 minutes of recording, it pops up saying 20% battery left from fully charged and at one point it even shuts down itself. But when it was turned on, the battery life is still around 75%. Before it runs on iOS 8, the issue is more apparent although it still exist now with the latest update.
    I did not know until just recently that I found out it is a big issue where I could not have a video recording that can last longer than 10 minutes or so. Is there anything I could do to solve this? Are there anyone else out there that has this sort of issue?

    Hey Leowjowee-
    I'm really sorry if I'm about to state the obvious, but have you tried fully resetting the iPod touch and setting it up like it's brand new?
    It's a crappy answer, but sometimes these are device specific issues, and other times, it can happen just because the kinks haven't been worked out of a new upgrade. I work in consumer IT, and the first thing I would suggest to a client with this issue (especially after an upgrade from one version of the operating system to another), would be to restore (reset the iPod to factory specs) the iPod touch, set it up like the day I bought it, only with the upgraded operating system, and see if there's still an issue. Sometimes, doing an upgrade like you probably did to get from iOS 7 to iOS 8, where it keeps all your previous settings from the last operating system, can cause bugs in the new code.
    Here's instructions for a reset: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
    Keep in mind that this will completely erase any content you have on the iPod touch, so be careful to make sure you have a backup of the device before you do anything. You can back up your device to iCloud or your computer with these instructions:  http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203977
    iOS 8 is brand new, and I'm sure Apple is working out the bugs - but these things happen...

  • Iphone5 battery drained and wont open

    I just bought the iphone 5 last year and it was so good everything runs so fine. Until i upgraded the software to IOS 7 , i started having problems on charging , battery drained too fast and it wont open anymore. The most irritating was when the battery left uncharge or drained, it wont open nor charge anymore. I've tried using different original cable charger but it wont work.  I'm so ****** with this phone.

    Try removing the battery to try and reboot the device. It's possible that something else went wrong with the device. If that doesn't work I would contact your wireless service provider.

  • Lumia 920 India .. missing features and some sugge...

    Alrito ppl..i have migrated from nokia 701 (Symbian) to Nokia lumia 920 (Windows 8)
    Country : India
    FW : 1232.5951.1249.1001
    OS Version : 8.0.10211.204
    No sim inserted as yet and right now using it in wifi mode only
    Since i was a symbian user..some features are very very essential in my daily phone usage (though some are rare)
    So the required features/suggested
    Camera/Photos :
    1.Red eye reduction 
    2.Self-Timer
    3.Details of photos like size,location,resolution, etc etc
    4.Number of photos like how many photos are there in an album or phone..
    5.wat is the use of having albums tab when u cant create one??!!
    Media:
    1.Heard that Stereo FM is gonna come soon with the next update of accessing fm radio and can also radio transmittor ?
    Hope its coming soon...
    2.Cant the equaliser me edited? and also be accessed from the music player ??
    3.MKV Format files doesnt play !! (Yes, i have tried it)
    Others :
    1.Internet explorer has a problem.. i use my ie whn wifi is on and later after swtiching off wifi 
    if i wanna close down ie..i cant because it jst keeps going back to the previous webpage which cannot load due to no access to net !!! plspls fix this .!!
    2.Nokia MAPS as compared to my symbian nokia 701 ... the gps access is really really bad.. i had to use my old mobile for using the nokia drive option..
    3.I know windows 8 doesnt have ny "file system" but i do hope they bring something like file manager for better access to many other things... 
    4.many other extentions like .zip, .rar dont work because of lack of apps and no basic functionality to access them..pretty bad for a person using the phone for office purpose..
    5.Profiles should be evidently visible and i should be able to create seperate profile because just ring+viobrate, vibrate and flight mode is not enough..
    6.In the groups under contacts...i really want to add people by selecting them and not individually...i know a very small request but it really helps...
    7.In the groups under contacts...i want to see the number of people in the group..i dont want to count them manually.. a small feature again but i request u to add it too..helps a lot..
    8.The counter for message,calls, etc and call logs for more than 30 days will be appreciated if it comes with the update because thn installing app for it is something i wudnt like..but this is a suggestions which i hope is implemented for better user experience...
    will add some other requirements and suggestions as soon as i get better experience of my new phone

    Camera/Photos:
    1. You can use Nokia Creative Studio on the phone to fix red eye.
    3. Install "Picture Info" from the store, it's free.
    5. You need to ask Microsoft that question but it does show albums you've created in skydrive or facebook
    Media:
    1. Only a rumour, Microsoft at this moment does not support FM and the next update does not enable it. Even if the L920 did have the required hardware it would only work as a receiver, not a transmitter.
    3. I don't believe Microsoft has added support for that.
    Others:
    1. Microsoft control IE featurs, if you press the menu dots then close all tabs you can easily exit.
    2. Weird, GPS works well where I am, make sure you use it with a data connection.
    3,4,5,6,7 & 8. You need to suggest that to Microsoft as it is their operating system, not Nokia's.
    You can submit suggestions to Microsoft on the link below:
    http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions
    You can discuss things about the OS on Microsoft's forum:

  • Wifi/battery drain

    i have updated to iso 4.0 and the battery drains when the ipod is in standby mode. this happens because the wifi is still on when it is in standby mode is there a way to make the wifi go off beside turning on airplane mode or turning wifi off?
    Message was edited by: levonBOS

    Hello IevonBOS,
    You are unfortunately another victim of battery draining when updating to iOS 4.0 on iPod (Touch?). This is a major issue that lot of people encounter at the moment and that Apple has not aknowledge yet. You'll get tons of details in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2474499&tstart=0.
    We suggest that you file an Apple iPod Touch feedback ticket and you send your information into FredCG Google docs formulaires. Everything is in the following post : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2474499&start=705&tstart=0
    Basically it is still very difficult to really root caused the source of the problem (iOS? Apps? Notifications? Wifi? etc). You'll find a short summary of what should be done in order to maximize chances to cut down battery draining here : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2474499&start=750&tstart=0
    Nevertheless you'll have to keep in mind that wifi use under iOS 4.0 seems to be much more intensive for the ipod battery than wifi under iOS 3.x.x.

  • Lumia 920 capacative keys not working and case cra...

    Hi,
    I have trouble with all three capacative keys on my lumia 920. They work when phone is held in hand,
    but when put on table they dont respod at all. Each time i want do do something with the phone i have to pick it up.
    With that problem phone s case crakles and makes all kind of noises. It have half mm gap on left side of the screen. Took it to service, but they returned with remark "issues have not been noticed on device". They just repleaced software, but that didnt fix it. What to do?

    Hi dejan385,
    Welcome to the forum! 
    Did something happen to the phone prior to these issues? When did these issues start to happen? Just to verify, did you bring the phone to a local 3rd party repair center, or to a Nokia Care Point? 
    Since the phone has already undergone an initial assessment but the issue wasn't fixed, we suggest visitting other Nokia Care Points / Authorized Service Centers (if possible) to have it re-evaluated. Check this link for the global Nokia support page: Nokia Wayfinder 
    Let us know if you need further help. 

  • Upgrade to Server 3.1 caused severe battery drain on devices

    Upon upgrade to Server 3.1, I have noticed that all registered devices managed by Profile Manager -- iPhones and iPads -- experience severe battery drain.  To the point that a full charge of these device would cause complete battery drain in less than 4 hours, even on standby mode.
    Solution:
    On the managed device,
    Log on to My Devices
    You will find that even though the device is Enrolled, it will have a duplicate device
    Remove all profiles on the device
    Re-Enrol the device
    I hope Apple fixes this.  I have device enrolled that's located overseas and it's difficult to inform the users on how to re-enrol their devices over the phone.

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same problem after upgrading to Mac OS X Server 3.1.
    All the connected iOS devices are continuously communicating with the Profile Manager of this server.
    I have tried to delete all the devices and profiles and then re-enrolled them, at first this looked like the solution for me too.
    Unfortunately after several hours some of the iOS devices started communicating heavily with this OS X 3.1 Server again, so the battery draining problem was back too.
    For now I have temporary disabled the Profile Manager to stop the iOS devices communicating and draining their batteries.
    @Apple: Please fix this as soon as possible!!!
    Kind regards,
    Rene.

  • Lumia 920 Sennheiser CX 680i mic and volume proble...

    Hi all
    I just got a pair of Sennheiser CX 680i. They are iPhone compatible but I didn't know that they only partially work with my Lumia 920.
    The play/pause, skip forward and backward are working fine. But the mic and volume don't. I read that it's because apple products don't uses the AHJ standard.
    I would really like to be able to use the mic and vol control. Is it possible to buy some kind og adapter? Or are there any other solutions to the problem?
    Hope you have the answers out there...

  • HELP! Battery drained and now, even with a power plug, computer won't start

    My battery drained completely...and I went to charge it. When I plug the power cord in, it shows "green" not "red." When I remove the battery and just plug in the power cord, the computer won't start either.
    Anyone encounter this before after a full battery drain? It's very odd.

    I had the same green light non-charging problem. Turns out, I had to replace my wall adaptor. A dealer will have a good power supply you can try.

  • Ipod touch 2g not used for months, battery drained and taking way too long to charge

    I had an ipod touch 2g that got wet a couple of months ago. They were inside a jacket pocket when the rain started pouring. After that, the screen only turn white when turned on. I just had the LCD replaced, but since i havent used it in months, the battery has been drained. I plugged it into my PC to charge for a couple of hours already, but its still not enough. The lowbatt icon is there, but iTunes still doesnt recognize it despite being plugged in for a few hours already.
    Does it really take this long to charge an ipod touch that has been completely drained and not used for months? I'm worried there might be other problems besides the LCD when it got wet before. Should I have it checked again for battery charging problems? Or am i just being impatient?

    I tried charging it through the adapter, still got the same problem. So i had it checked again and the battery apparently also needed to be replaced. Haven't had any problems with it since then!

  • Battery drain and error in event log!!!

    So I recently got a curve 9360, but battery life wasn't the 1 and a half days I expected. Doesn't last more than 5 hrs on normal use, and it falls drastically when doing slightly heavy work like now, bridged to my PlayBook like now, it turns of radio at about 30% then blacks out in under 5 minutes. So i did some digging around and most people said it was the OS, so I downloaded the os that most people say fixed there curve's, got a response for 7.1.0.190 and 7.1.0.258, bug still no difference. Out of curiosity I checked my event long and found this error ,
    Name: System
    Severity: Error
    GUID: 97c9f5f641d25e5f
    Time: "the date and time shown"
    JVM:INFOp=mypin,a='7.1.0.190',o='9.6.0.24',h=e001507
    So when I changed the os to 7.1.0.190, still got the same error and it's always at the top of the event log so am guess its what's causing the battery drain. Changed batteries, and wiped the OS and reinstalled but no solution. 
    Any help people!

    Hi,
    The Certificate Chain you installed on the FE server did not have "Enable all purposes for this certificat" enabled.
    Run MMC--Add\Remove Snap-ins--certificates--Local Computer--Trusted Root Certificate Authorities--Certificates, find the certificate chain you installed--Properties--General, check the "Enable all purposes for this certificate".
    Restart Lync FE server and check the problem is solved.

  • IPhone battery drain and crash at 50%

    My iPhone 4, since updating to the most recent software, had started crashing when it gets down to 50% and 50% on the dot everytime. Now it seems to crash whenever it feels like it but never will it get below 50%. The only way the phone turns back on is when it is connected to a power source once again. I don't even get the dead battery signal when trying to re-boot or anything. Now it would sound like the issue is my battery but I booted up my 3GS with the latest update and same exact thing happens which leads me to believe it's Apple and their ever-so-terrible software.(have they ever released software that left phones in perfect working condition??NO) So maybe its my back-up right? I restored and set up as a new iPhone, same problems. The battery drains from 100%-90% @ regular speed and from 90%-70% the thing reeeallllyyy starts moving quick and from 70%-50% it's just a guess as to when it will die in that region. The issue is such a deal that it's basically renderring my phone useless. If I wanted to leave a phone plugged into my wall I would still have a house phone. The Idiot bar employees told me that the software showed no glitches but that was only dated back to my last restore which was just hours before entering the store. The idiot bar employee also told me that the battery drain issue was "not a known issue" for iOS5. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? It's all over the internet! So far in my searching I have found few people with my crashing at 50% problem but I have found NO solution. Ya got any ideas?

    I do have apple care that I mistakenly didn't register right when I got it. Now I can't find the receipt for my phone and I'm having issues getting it back under warranty. I'm planning on taking care of that and heading back into apple but I'm sure they'll tell me it's my issue.
