[Q] Lumia 800 battery capacity decreasing help! - Nokia Lumia 800

Hey guys,
I bought my Lumia 800 unlocked and unbranded 2 days ago (it's a UK model). However I've noticed that the battery capacity has started decreasing on it.
On day one it charged to 1450 maH which was the maximum capacity displayed. On day 2 it charged to 1420 maH, again the maximum capacity displayed. And right now on day three the maximum capacity is being shown as 1378 maH.
Is this normal or am I doing something wrong or is the battery faulty? I would appreciate it if you guys could help me.
Thanks!

Its quite normal so nothing to worry about unless your battery max charge is under 1000mAh

Uninstall the Diagnostic app and reinstall it. That should fix it.

Thanks for the replies guys!
I have a couple of other questions as well (seeing as I am totally new to Windows Phone):
My phone is a UK factory unlocked model but I do not live in the UK. Will I get updates at the same time as the scheduled updates for the UK market?
My phone lasted 2 days when I took it out of the box. Today however, on day 5 it has lasted me 9.5 hours only (unplugged at 8am, died at 530pm). EDGE was continuously on. This is also the first battery charge cycle that has occurred (battery dying completely before recharging it). Can I expect the battery to start lasting longer now? Or should I delete my apps to see which is the culprit? ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!
By the way, I'm currently running 11500 firmware and the 12070 hasn't been made available to me yet.
I would be obliged if someone could shed some light on my predicament. Thanks!

I expect you will find (2) fixed with the 12070 firmware.

(1) You'll get the updates, don't worry
(2) Deleting apps won't help anyway, don't you try. If you keep having trouble with the device (you should get more than 9 hours of battery life) then you can return it for warranty. But it could be fixed with the 12070 update as well.

Where do I download that from? It doesn't seem to be in the Marketplace?!

@Homey on your lumia, press ##634# on the phone dialer. That will open the diagnostics tool. It will then also appear in your app list.

Atom Life Battery Problems

I have been using Atom Life for a month now.
It is giving me very bad time on Battery.
The standy-time is max 7-8 hours.
Whats more problematic is the fact that phone goes off, when battery goes below 40%. Sometimes at 20%. No fixed trend.
Is anyone facing similar problem.
Any suggestions.
try after changing CPU profile
I did have this problem, but I fix it with the new battery, right now, my life can using for two days. I purchase the new bettery from ebay. and all the problem have been fixed. the battery come with the phone only can stand for 6-7 hours and crashed the system when battery level below 50%. you should buy the new battery.
Hi, what kind of battery did you buy, the XP-09 model? or what.
thanks
xp-02,that is what i got. try this, it work for me.
thanks a lot; my atom crashes sometimes when i received a call and the battery is around 40%. With the XP-02 not occurs then?.
Thanks
yes, it haven't crash since I replace the new battery.
Hi Keywong .i just received my xp-02 from ebay, but my atom life couldn,t charge it more than 50%, change into green light when reach around 50 % of charge. I tried change the batteries but the problems still remains, it happens to you too?
thanks a lot

Hi,
You can try soft reset and re-charge again. This happen when I change a battery from O2 (still XP-09). 1st time charge no problem, 2nd time charge, stay at 62% and ture green light. Try on/off charger still the same, soft reset to solve the problem.
Previous battery alway give me problem after a month or so, auto off after the level fall below certain level. Have to change it from service centre again. FYI this is my 3rd set of Atom Life and 4th battery.
Notice that XP-02 (from ebay picture) in made in taiwan and XP-09 in made in China.
Notice from ebay.
Atom Life battery XP-02 is made in Taiwan, and the battery from O2 XP-09 is made in China.
thank you for the answers. I tried doing soft and hard reset, change the battery new for the old one, but the problem still remains. Then i´m gonna send the battery to UK for the garanty...
i´ll tell you
O2 Life Battery Problem
I've got problem with my O2 life first. It restart itself when the battery drop below 35% and couldn't be turn on unless i charge it a bit.
To solve the problem simply change the CPU setting to best power and it works with me. No need to replace the battery because the problem not with the battery but with the high Processor in O2 life.
i have problem.. if my pda overhead.. can not charge. why? normal?
Hi,
I have the same problem with the battery. The problem REDUCES when I switch the CPU profile to 'Best Power' (as written by Alkaizer). But by switching the profile to 'Best Power', the CPU runs at 206Mhz instead of 624Mhz. With 'Auto' you're somewhere in between, appr. 400Mhz.
Obviously the Atom now works alot slower.
I've contacted Expansys where I bought it, and it depends on the "situation" whether it will be repaired or swapped right away.
Can someone please confirm that the problem does NOT occur with the XP-02 battery and using 'Best Performance' as CPU profile? If this the case I can ask Expansys to just swap the battery.
Thanks in advance,

Myths busted. Three batteries for X10mini pro test.

Ok, here we go. I tested three batteries for X10 mini pro. Testing conditions were real-time/normal use (that´s all we are interested in, and not some crazy testing programs) which means several calls, some mp3 listening (half an hour max), some wi-fi usage and browsing. GPS and background data transmission were always on. all tests were done at the same location (i.e. phone didn´t have to look for cells) with good 3,5G coverage. 00:to 9:00 phone was idle.
Time Ericsson Jin Dian Jinpintong
00:00 100% 100% 100%
09:00 60% 60% 65%
12:00 55% 52% 54%
15:00 28% 20% 44%
18:00 17% 16% 22%
21:00 dead at 19:30 dead at 19:00 8% (dead at 21:30)
As you can see the behaviour of the batteries is the same in the first 12 hours (until 50% discharge), the differences show up later.
I have attached a jpg file with battery pictures so that they can be easily identified. BST-38 was marked as 970mAh, Jin Dian 1420mAh and JPT as 1800mAh.
Tomorrow I will test the winner (JPT) switching the phone to GPRS only (no 3G)
thanks
would please give us a link to the Jinpintong battery please

It is somewhere on ebay. Make a search on BST-38, then start looking at the pictures and compare with the one I posted. It is usually sold as "business battery". By the way the 1800 mAh written on it is bull**** as well, because theoretically it should give us at least 50% time increase, and as a result we get barely 2-3 hours extra.
By the way, can someone who owns a DEJI battery repeat my test, so that we will haveit for comparison?

I bought it from this guy http://myworld.ebay.com/efoodlifecn/ he erroneously had them listed as 1650 mAh batteries, and currently doesn´t have any BST-38 compatible ones listed, but write him and ask about it. Since he sells a lot of batteries (the yellowish ones) from the same JPY (jinpintong) factory, he must be their dealer.
how many charge cycles have the batteries gone through before testing?
I have the Jin Dian battery and haven't noticed much if any improvement over the stock battery

That is exactly what my test shows. Jin Dian gives no improvement at all, and Jinpintong gives a marginal improvement of 2 hours.
The quantity of cycles doesn´t matter, as Li-Ion batteries have no memory effect, but just for information, all of them went through at least 10 cycles, before the test.
Nice comparison, i wonder if i can use these for the X10 Mini
No, you can't.
I´ve ordered a DEJI battery from DinoDirect, the one that everyone is praising, and as soon as it arrives, will repeat the same test for it.

Modifying build.prop battery info makes no difference on physical battery capacity. But if you doubt it, I can test DEJI battery (when it arrives) both with and without modifying.

yes i do think so but maybe the system have some sort of overcharging protection and limits battery performance...

hi i just recently bought this wonderful phone call x10 mini pro and i was wondering to buy a battery to extend the battery life and i happen to stumble upon this battery call gold BST-38 its 1930 mAH and it cost around £9.75.It's a japan quality product but can only find in a uk store weird product or ebay.Can anyone test and tell me is this good or bad.TY(sorry for not being able to post the link cause i'm new)

In my case when my battery going down fast, it's due to an application.
Sometimes I regret my P1i with 5 days of autonomy with a 5 years stock battery...

I don´t think it´s an application. If I enter airplane mode (all applications still running) - I lose 5% for the time I lose 45% with transmission enabled. We have excellent 3,5G coverage, so no issue with signal loss or level.
It is just badly managed battery. When I was on win 6.5 it lasted MUCH longer. Btw. other Android phones suffer from the same - just check out the other forums - everyone complains about the same ****.

Does anyone get good battery life

I am on my second blue Lumia. The battery life on both has been pathetic. 6-10 hours max, even without touching the phone. And that is on both recent firmware versions.
I am wondering whether to bother exchanging it or just try for a refund.
Sent from my TITAN X310e using Board Express
I'm on second day. Not using it much, 20 min calls, few sms, hour of browsing and board express on wifi. I'm still on 50%.
Sent from my Lumia 800 using Board Express
I will be on my second lumia tomorrow, i have gotten a black one as a replacement instead of the blue one again.
If anyone is having issues what colour of phone do you have? Might be a long shot but you never know.

I haven't battery problems..
My bomb is the Black Lumia 800 unlocked
Mine's pretty good, although I had a brief period where it was absolutely shocking.
Battery was great until the last update. Was getting around 26-30 hours, now getting 14-16 hours.
From factory my Lumia was sketchy (preloaded with 11501). Got battery drain sometimes. Did a factory reset and it hasn't come back yet. Getting good life now. Can make it two days without charge.
My lumia has the latest ROM but the old firmware and the battery till now is pretty good
45- 60 min calls
almost an hour gaming
20 - 30 min browsing
all push notifications on
a lot of apps like whatsapp which requires push is on
still I have almost 30% remaining in the night when i keep it for charging.
I think almost all who has the new firmware is having batterry issues
Yesterday was my first day of full ownership, so I used the phone a fair but but not really heavy. The battery died around 10pm. Bit disappointed, it needs another 10-20%.

First few days the battery isnt as good as it should be. I guess you will get that 20% more in the next few days.

Wouldnt expect it lol, i had mine a week. Battery was shocking at the start. Got better then got really worse.
Just keep an eye on it, thats all i can suggest if your not happy then do what i done, contact your phone provider and get it changed.
i have 1 to 1.5 days of battery with normal usage, few calls, sms, music, browsing, etc. i have the Cyan Version
Today my Lumia barely made it through the day. Unplugged it from charger at 6.14 am now I'm at home from work and I got 10% battery left. Specs:
Country Variant: CV Denmark (514 v. 01)
Color: Cyan
OS: 7.10.8107.79
FW: 1600.2479.7740.11451
Mostly I get really low battery performance, and the phone is most of the day in standby.
got my new black lumia today....currently charging it before using it(had to set it up though)
Battery Status
Charged 65535%
Voltage 4.174 V (this ranges +/- 1)
Current Discharging 14mA
Full Change Capacity 1511mAh
Remaining Charge Capacity 1271mAh
1511mAh !! Do you have the 11500 update?
No i have just plugged my phone into Zune and im updating as i type....
---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------
Ok so now that i have done my update here are my stats...
Current Charge Capacity - 1484 mAh
Remaining Charge Capacity - 1240 mAh
Question..........why has this changed via an update?
Thanks for all the info. Really interested in peoples real life experiences.
My first Lumia lasted about 12 hours with my typical usage. My second lasts a little less, maybe 10 hours.
I had an HD7 which on Mango lasted about 20 hours with my usage - but I think its battery was damaged as it did weird things.
I have a TITAN which lasts 30+ hours for me.
I really want the Lumia to work for me though, but how many times can I return it!?
see my only problem is im with vodafone on my contract and the only windows phone they have is the lumia. I could cancel but no point over a phone. I do really hope its a software problem. I would never of expected this from nokia. I shall keep everyone updated anyway. Im testing the hell out this one just now lol

Because that update fixes a battery bug that lets you charge up the phone like 15% more.
Some feedback for you guys...my findings are actually rather shocking to be honest. So last night i left both my iphone 4s and my lumia on standby throughout the night. It was roughly 6Hr 30Mins on standby during this time here are my findings...
Nokia Lumia FW ver 11500 - decreased 20% in that time Battery Capacity - 1412 mAh
iPhone 4s FW Ver 5.0.1 - Decreased 2% in that time. Battery Capacity - 1432 mAh
What the hell is going on with this phone lol.

Battery service life with new firmware 1750.0805.8773.12220

Hey,
I just wanted to start this thread to collect our experiences and current configurations about the battery service life since updating our Lumias to the new firmware release 1750.0805.8773.12220, because mine seems to be much better than before.
My configuration and usage is as follows:
3G now always enabled (though poor 3G signal)
1 IMAP account retrieving mails every 15 minutes
1 Windows Live account retrieving new objects every hour
Facebook account with standard settings
about 30 SMS a day
about 40-50 WhatsApp messages
listening to music about 2-3 hours a day
about 30 minutes Facebook a day
So battery drain is now about 3-5% an hour.
I updated my Lumia 800 via zune and now I have firmware 1750.0805.8779.12221. couldnt notice any changes after 12140. confused...
still a day and a half for me on 2g after the update...
I think this update has all but ironed out all the battery issues. I cannot expect Nokia to do anything more with the battery as it has been almost 6 months since the Lumia's release. If there was a big battery bug it surely would have been ironed out by now. So i do not expect anymore miracles from any software update from this point on. 14-15 hours is fair enough according to me for this phone. Wouldn't ask for more!
I'm very happy with this update, because battery drain was about 7-10% before (x.12072) on same settings.
Maybe Nokia hasn't listed all the fixes in the changelog.
So now, I wouldn't aks for more, because I can use my smartphone as long as my old DesireHD or even longer.

where are you from? because you've got the 8779 oem firmware? rm-801? which country?
Mine i have 2 hours spent all day in Twitter, 1 hours in Facebook, 20 SMS, 3 hours of talking, 1 hour of Internet, 2 e-mail accounts syncing mail as soon as arrives, Accuweather,Live Calendar and Connection Tiles running on background and i uses only EDGE, i get only 1 day and a few hours, i think that its the normal.
Battery drain
I should not have to charge my phone every single day...
I don't often make calls or send sms'. My 2 email accounts are set to download every hour and my twitter account is barely used. I mainly use the phone for a 10 minute game a day and the rest of the time it gets used to read a chapter or two of an ebook. (while not busy at work )
But, battery drain is expected. I suppose I'd get better battery life if I let the phone discharge completely and then recharge from the wall plug instead of charging when the battery is around 20% at night.

I think it wouldn't affect it too much, because it's a lithium polymer battery inside our phones.
I also noticed that, with normal use the battery pass 2 days

Bugger. Guess I will cross my fingers and hope that somehow the drain decreases. :fingers-crossed:
If not, I have my charger with me at all times anyway :victory:
Nokia Win
its been 2 days since i updated and ive noticed that the battery level is enduring longer =), not sure if it is a placebo effecto or something, because the battery before the update was already very enduring.

I bought this phone from finland, the day it was released(059N3K4). I was using this chineese 12140(059P4C2) before the update. yesterday, zune said there is an update, and did update.
now,
os version is 7.10.8773.98 but firmware version is, as I told earlier, 1750.0805.8779.12221.
there seems to be no change but maybe a slight better battery performance, if there is really any.

It's actually a lithium-ion battery - not quite the same thing as lithium ion polymer batteries.
well it may be wishful thinking - but the battery does seem a little stronger (after a hard reset (the volume + power button). Looking at the diagnostic app the battery drain of ~75mA is more consistent than it was previously.. 18hours is good enough for me - still carry a juice pack though
with normal usage I can get past 2 days without a problem. the last firmware update is great
I see an improvement also. Have had the update for a week and believed it to be wishful thinking in the beginning. But it is consistent. Not dramatically, but definitely better. Especially under 3G.

Guys i used the china variant of tango, before the global release.
I noticed 3G is excellent on china variant, once set it gives me an "H" throughout.
I noticed the UK variant i flashed (tango) has browser problems with facebook, keeps giving error to "Try again"
There is export to sim in china
and the battery is extremely good, way better in the china.
So mayb the UPDATE from ZUNE and the flashed FW mayb have a difference
i will test a ZUNE update and let you;ll know
With Standby my Lumia lasts at least 22 hours with a 4-5% batterydrain per hour.. max 24 hours. (3g on, 5 mail accounts / 2hours, 2 BG tasks, 3 Push Apps.)
With minimal use i can use the device 12-16 hours.
My provider have 3G only, so i cannot use E or GSM.

What battery health does Phone info app show for you? Is my battery defective?

Hi
I just got this phone from under a month ago. After 24 charge cycles it's already at 95% according to phone info app.
Is my battery defective or is the app not right?

Same for me 90.71 % after reflash my S9 + several times with
Stock G965FXXS2BRI1
As i heard its about samsung politique after each update devices will deteriorate......(battery drain , lags ,limit performance.......)
In order to force consumers to upgrade and move to new devices
It has nothing to do with that. I installed that app on my first purchase of my brand new device and charge cycle=0 and battery health at 94.00% so it's just an estimate

The apps are woefully inaccurate, but if you have any concerns you can take it to a Samsung store and they'll test. I used accubattery for a while but it showed my health to decline over time, reinstalled the app and it was back to 100%......
Yup my says 100%. Day one purchase. Fullcapnom says i have 3700mah battery my wild guess is that samsung use bigger batteries to compensate capacity loss.
For monitoring the usage you might want to give GSam a try as it has some good graphs so see what might cause issues.
I also got S9+ yesterday. I checked the battery with Phone Info and Accubattery. When i checked for a bit before purchage, It showed 95%. But now when I used it for 1 day. It changed to 85%. Phone Info shows 104 charge cycle. I don't know whether this Accubattery is really good way to measure the battery or if i should change this phone for completely new one. Phone Info still shows battery health around 95%.
