Hi Folks,
It would be great if you guys can share your battery stats (Not the diagnostics apps, hours (or days?) from battery saver). Our favorite blog, WPcentral, claims that they have tripled their battery life. I can say mine improved by a few hours.
I regularly got 1day 12 hours on my Venue Pro, but it it hard to get 24 hrs on the Lumia even after the update.
Update: I rolled back to the previous version (11500) as I wanted the official version. I got the official 12070 now. Now battery shows 1 day 16 hours.. just like my old Venue Pro. I recommend everyone who used cab update to roll back and install an official update as it started rolling out now.
Remaining battery life: 21%
Time since last charge: 1 day 10 hours
So two full days it can last me. I have used it "normaly". Not heavily and not lightly. 3G on at all times of course.
I had the exact same battery life on 11500. I was never affected by bad battery life to begin with.

I run 3g on/wifi on/bluetooth off/2 push email accounts/1 hourly pull/whatsapp/lync/amazing weather tile and when left while sleeping I get about 11-12 hours runtime according to battery monitor in the morning which is based on no use while I sleep so its the lowest screen use possible. I have a slight advantage with 3G on due to the fact I have a femtocell (mini mobile mast) which usually means the 3G radio doesnt need to amp the power as much.
Turning the Message "Online" for facebook/msn reduced this to about 10 hours as a tip for you all.

For me, this update changes nothing! The Battery drain is still at 180-330 mA... 17 hours battery life with standby, 12 with use. Terrible ...
Even after Hardreset.
In standby it consumes 4-5% / hour.... With a full 3G bar.
Wow Erazor84 your battery life is much better then mine.
My phone was great from day 1 (got it in November 2011), it lasted for almost 48 hours even with original firmware, and charged to 1480mAh. With latest update I get pretty much the same (ie. good) battery life.
Major battery drain seems from poor 3G signal and phone switching between 2G / 3G all the time.

maybe mine is better than yours, but it's way too low... my omnia 7 has the same config and the same apps installed. battery lifetime -> 1day and 36 hours... so the lumia is still a faulty device ...

Which firmware were you before? 11501 or 11500?
Have you done any hard resets/full flashes?
If I had that battery life I would be happy. I thought generally wifi was lighter then 3G but I wonder if thats the reverse on Nokia's.
I'm considering to update my Lumia to the latest 12070 update.
What's the correct way of doing this?
My handset is unbranded, Black bought in Denmark.
I've seen that an Australian version is available in NaviFirm.
Do you have an upgrade procedure? I've Zune, SDK and Nokia Care Suite installed.

To do this and keep your settings you must use a Zune pushed update (official way) or the cab method.
If you use the navifirm you cant restore backups from older versions which means you will hard reset your phone.
Do you have a guide for the cab method?

I got one of the first phones produced, w/ 7720 firmware, 059J3G0 variant:

I flashed it once to latest Czech (8107) firmware and updated to 8107.12070 via CAB. But battery drain is still basically the same as on 7720 - awesome.

That really suggests mine has a fault then. I have never seen it say over 14 hours really. I am just turning things off. Do you have facebook/twitter added in as well?
Was 8107 version 11501 then? I am tempted to flash mine clean when the newest roms come out for UK.
What kind of discharge rates do you get?
I was getting around 130mAh discharge rate on idle, now around 75mAh (with 12070 update). So I guess battery should be even better now, but it was good before as well.
059J3G0 variant was distributed directly by Nokia (got an "influencer" phone).

Influencer aka the ones they know work
Hmm it appears if 3G is on after 20-30 seconds it jumps to 250-350ma even though wifi is on. It can go higher but I put that down to background tasks.
With 3G off it sits normally < 100.
I am tempted to flash mine but I am just trying to figure out how much pain it will be getting back up and running since you cant use backups?
Anyone downgraded before? procedure?
Edit: Even in battery saver mode its running at 267ma which should disable background apps and data stuff but leave the connection active.

Updated yesterday morning and this has not improved my usage with 3G enabled. I spend most of my time in WiFi areas so had got used to leaving the network set to 2G, which looks to be what I'll have to go back to.
I'll try a hard reset for the sake of completion, then do more tests with the 3G on and off.

I also have a lumia(059J3G0) with that number. I can't get Navifirm plus or Nokia Data Package Manager to find firmware. How are you doing an updated to 8107.12070 via CAB??
Thanks for your help.

After 2 days with the newest 12070 fw my battery seems to last for 1day~12 hours. Something i have learned to expect from GS, N9 and iPhone 4.
Before the update 800 lasted for around 20 hours, with heavy use it would have been dead in 12 hours. Update before 12070 did nothing, but this was clearly the update i was waiting for. Finally i can use it like a smartphone as i really do love Metro UI, but the battery life has killed it of for me.
On idle the battery drain is now around 75mAh, compared to previous ~130mAh.
After 2 days with the new firmware: It is better than with 11500 but still not good enough. 12 hours with use, 20 hours with standby ... In idle 253 mA Battery drain.... In Flight Mode 84 mA.
My Provider only has 3G. 3 Austria does not provide a GSM or Edge Signal. So the cause is the 3G Signal ... With Flight mode (around 84mA) the battery life is great!
So let's wait for another Firmware

we have 2 X10 mini's, one (mine) is factory unlocked and the other is locked to Orange UK
I updated both to 2.1, mine has UK generic firmware the other has Nordic firmware
even though we have the same apps and settings mine (UK) will last less than a day but the other (Nordic) will last at least 2 days
what firmware have you installed and what's the battery life like ?
to start...
UK = less than 24 hours
Nordic = more than 48 hours
thanks
generic uk, last about 8-10 hours heavy use
Generic UK, updated via PC Companion - 6 - 8 hours heavy use, 12-14 hours 'normal' use and upto 1 day with very very little use
I have greek cosmote andlasts about 2 days

Maybe 3g in UK, Edge in Nordic?
I have UK one, and last days running on EDGE, even I can the 3G. But the consumption is the same.. only browsing is slower
UPDATE: I removed the ADW Launcher and installed Launcher Pro.
With ADW Launcher after I came home in the evening the baterry was 30-40%.
few calls/sms, short time internet browsing via EDGE.
With same pgms, usage etc. but with Launcher pro instead of ADW I came home with 70-80%. Few days testing.
Seems the ADW is pretty much eating the battery.
Hi
I installed diagnostics Nokia app on my lumia and i only have voltage and "current" consumption informations, whereas i seen that i should have a lot more informations as battery state (max capacity in mAh and more..).
What should i do ?
thx !

Does your phone have the latest SW ?
As you need the ..12070 or later sw to see more info.
All those were in older firmware, as of 12070, only few items are shown, the other were not being displayed correctly so nokia choose to remove them instead of fixing the actual values!
i have asked a trainer in Nokia Training Academy for this. He said that the older ODDT was iun older FW put there by mistake from their R&D. this is why they removed it and have the simple ODDT.
im on the latest firmware, 12072
thx for replies guys
strange..
I was wondering why my battery was decreasing so fast whereas my phone is new, i disabled everything in background, no wifi, bluetooth, gps, only 3 g and a gmail account 1h check period..
xbox live disabled.
hope tango will increase battery life...
I’m writing because I read many posts from people that seems to have a problem similar to mine, and many posts on the canadian base thread that are experiencing a huge battery improvement with this rom. I suspect that the problem is much bigger than I thought.
I have an AT&T “instance” of this phone and I have high power drain on any ICS/JB base when phone is idle. I measured less than 1% drain every hour on the canadian base with every sort of sync active (2 GMAIL, G+, G CURRENT, INSTANT UPLOAD, CONTACTS, CALENDAR) but as soon as I put any other ICS/JB base this jump to at lest 5% every hours. Also the original stock GB rom from AT&T also seems to be battery friendly.
Test were made with a number of roms (UCLF6, Unofficial Liquid Jelly Bean 2.0, CM 10, Paranoid). I just installed google apps when applicable and logged in to gmail and play to install Battery Monitor Widget. I discover too that power drain is ok when I’m connected to WIFI or when I switch to 2G mode. Radio is the same I717UCLF6 on every test (but I tested every other radio, and nothing changes).
I suspect it is something related to the way the 2/3/4 G radio is used.
Anyone have this issue?
Anyone know how to start to debug/trace this problem?
Hi.
I buy Nokia Lumia 800. And now, i have poor battery life. I disabled all apps, and dont have background task.
I read on the internet, if dont have latest FW, then u will poor battery life.
I have :
OS version : 7.10.8773.98
FW : 1750.0805.8773.12220 .

Have you synced your Phone in the last time with Zune? it should show you the latest update, sry if i cant say if you have the latest FW but i don't own the 800
if you have no Zune, or its not show any update, then you should watch in your Settings on your Phone, theres a update option
what is your description of "poor" for my Lumia 710 i get 1-3 Days, 3 Days when all data disabled and no use (just SMS and Phone sometimes) and 1 Day with 3G on and Apps running in Background like whatsapp
a girl in my class has the 900 and he also has a bad battery life (he sad) but she has the same time

mhh. Yes, i synced. :/ Zune say's ,that i have latest update.
But i disabled all, and no use. (sometimes play zombie, doodlejump , just sms ,phone,3G maybe use 5min. ) and get maybe 1day. :/ And dont have background tasks :/
and also, i choose brightness low! :/ and battery saver on..
Considering I get twice that battery life doing the tasks you do, I suggest you go to a service to have your battery replaced. It might have a high wear level.
Playing Games is the best way to get your Battery empty ;D i dont know but i think 1 day is for the Smartphone generation today normal :/
I've noticed that the battery is draining pretty quick after 7.8, 8862 update. The charge is lasting at most 8 hours on 3G. Anyone else facing similar issues?
Thanks!
It's quite normal for smartphones if you use 3G.. and of course do sth on ur phone
I haven't updated to 8862 yet because I don't see the need, I even don't know if there is live tiles bug on my phone (8858) because it's working like before - on 7.5
8 hours ..... Not too long bu it depends what are you doing with your phone these 8 hours
