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.

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%.

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.
After the 12070 update my Lumia 800 battery life is totally random.
The diagnostics tool is totally useless since the readings vary without any reason. Sometimes the remaning capacity is 1289 mAh, ten minutes later is 976 mAh...
When I finish charging the phone, sometimes battery life expectancy is about 16 hours, 4 hours later it´s 22 hours...
Another strange thing: once, the phone entered battery saving mode...(20% battery left) Fours later it still was on battery saving mode, but showing 36% capacity left
o_0
Overall I would say battery life is more or less the same, somewhat better.
Yes, the battery meter is useless. It shows me 1 day 18 hours but wont even last 10 hours and sometimes it would show 18 hours and last more than 10 hours.
I guess the battery is totally dependent on the usage. I have observed the battery last enough on a normal usage. Though my Nokia E71 lasts double the Lumia 800, I guess its doing good enough that most Android phones
np
i got a super battery life now..
im so happy with the update

The battery meter only counts for atm usage and forecast based on that, this why its not accuracy
Am i the only one that suffers from even poorer batterylife after the 12070 firmware ?
Since the update my battery drops to about 15% after 3-4h, and the diagnostic tools shows a Current Discharge ~350mA.
When i just got the phone about 2 weeks ago the batterylife was kinda good took me trough the day and a few hours more, and now its getting worse.
This cant be normal right?

In Mobile network -> Highest connection speed -> change to E.
Strange, but in 3G mode, but significantly lowers the battery life quickly, especially if the stations are like my GSM operator bad 3G coverage in some areas.
Hello everyone ..ive just bought lumia 800 a week ago , and i love this phone very much ..but i find the battery life is not good ..i get only 15hours in time remaining under battery saver setting after full recharge
Also its have latest firmware 12070 .
.if anyone can help it would be gr8 and btw im from india
15 hrs is not that long.. However.. how much usage is the phone getting.. if you using the phone constantly.. even in battery saving mode it will drain quite quickly..
Very stange.
My lumia works for 5 days with no charge.
I have 710 and it also lasts for 15 hours in 12120 tango
Sent from my Lumia 710 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Mine only lasted a few hours when I first got it, and 2 weeks later I'm getting nearly 2 days standby from it with occasional calls and usage
Seems like it takes a couple weeks for the battery to start holding its charge properly or the sensors to calibrate
But just playing 1 game of bowling for less than an hour will still eat 40% battery.
I have had mine almost two weeks and I find it to be a lot worse than my previous Android phones (HTC Hero and Desire HD). Are you using 'as items arrive' for the email 'Download new content' setting? Changing this to check every hour seems to help a bit.

Maybe with 3G switched off and no use what so ever. Otherwise it's just not possible and we all know it.

Don't trust that info. Have you actually noticed how long it lasts in real life? The remaining time is an estimate and changes depending on your use. If you game for a few minutes it will shrink to like 3 hours left. But will your phone die after 3 hours because of that if you stop playing?
Stop looking at estimates and see how long it lasts in real life.
My question is: Is the battery life of the Lumia 920 so bad, like they say?
Mine has been unplugged for 14 hours with heavy to moderate use and still has 20% left. Battery life got much better for me when I uninstalled the Battery Level for WP8 app. I'd say it's on par with the HTC One X or Galaxy S3.

it can be, if you don't terminate nokia drive and it is running constantly in the background
there are also some weird modes the OS can get into that cause faster battery drain. A reboot fixes that until the next time.
When it's working the right way, it should go all day with decent use on a single charge.

I checked my phone and the last time I plugged in was 1day and 2 hrs (i.e 26 hrs) ago. It still shows 79% battery life remaining.
I've made a few phone calls, checked emails regularly, took a 1 minute video (and uploaded to Skydrive) and some pictures. Minimal web browsing.
Turned on GPS to show it to somebody but didn't really use it.
I think if you make sure that unnecessary background tasks are turned off, then Nokia 920 has excellent battery life!
I've never been this pleasantly surprised with the battery life.

well it depends on many things. For me a bad GSM-Signal ****s up the battery very fast. (about 10 Hours) even in powersaving-mode. BUT from Saturday to monday with medium usage and in powersaving-Mode it took only 26% of Battery and than i went to work, where the Signal is poor and it took 9 hours to kill the battery :-/
So i would say, if Nokia fixes the radio, the lumia 920 will be great on battery life.

Update: Time since last charged: 2 days & 3 hrs (51 hrs). Battery remaining: 44%
I've been using my phone all this time - made a few calls, used Photobeamer to share pictures. Used bluetooth just for a few mins.
I will post a screenshot tonight but yesterday I went from 9 am -1240 until it died, I was making calls texting speed tests and listening to music aloud and taking pictures during the day also. its great battery life better than the One X, I would say about 18 hours battery if your playing games and taking videos compared to 15 for the one X
Here is my screen shot and my day of use:
5am wake up 5 text msgs, leave phone on with push notifications till 6pm (haven't touched it) 6pm-8pm constant testing and calling to make plans for the night, 8pm-8:30pm browsing flud reading RSS feeds. mild texting / calling till 2 am, wake up at 9 am mild texting and tweeting and at 5 pm this is the screen texting all day and lots of browsing
Here is the screen

I have noticed Wi-Fi uses alot of battery along with low signal, more than on most phones
My battery life fluctuates a lot, mostly having to do with signal strength. I live and work in a low service area; I never see above 2 bars of LTE/4g.
My battery lasts me the whole day of work; 8 hours. That is 8 hours with Data, WI-FI, Location on; listening to non-streaming music, regular texting, 3 email accounts polling (as items receive). 3 background apps. (Weather, WP Central, Moon 3d), Checking FB, etc. So high usage.
I do not have Nokia Drive installed, I found it killed my battery very quickly. I would be lucky if I got 5 hours of battery with it. It even affected my battery life even after uninstalling it (and rebooting the phone). Luckily I was able to fix it by installing the newest version; enabling the battery saver, uninstalling, and rebooting my phone.
My 920 had a battery drainer called Skype. Before the latest Skype update, the battery would last only a day with normal usage, I needed to recharge it every night.
Now, since the last Skype update, the battery life more than doubled, I can get almost 3 days of normal usage without charging, which is pretty good.

No. Well, not for me anyway,
It's definitely better than my old iPhone 4 in a like for like test (my daily work routine hasn't changed since I bought the L920).
If I listen to the BBC Radio app then I'll be down to about 30% by the end of the working day (just over 8 hours), but if I'm listening to audio on the device itself then I rarely drop below 80% before I leave the office. I'm very happy with the battery life on the L920, and unlike my flatmate with his GS3 I don't have to charge it up before I head out in the evening.
I am considering trashing my iphone 4s in favor of a lumia phone. It's good to know that the battery on a lumia phone is good if you dont let bad app run in the background.
Hey guys, I'm new here and this is my first thread...
So I just bought an used HTC One X+ from a guy who sold it after 2 years of usage.
Phone is in perfect conditions, and I really like it, but only the battery is draining too fast. Especially when gaming: I played Temple Run 2 for 15 minutes, and the phone went from 25% to shutting off, because the battery was empty. Using other applications is just fine, I'm now 12H 12M on battery and there's 18% left.
So my question is: Are here some others who had this device for 2+ years, and how is your battery life on the HOX+?
Do I need to replace the battery, or is this just a common problem? Or is this just an software issue?
I'd like to hear from you guys

I've had this phone for almost 2 years and battery life hasn't changed. From day 1 I got about 12-15 hours on a full charge..
