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

Voltage 4.174 V (this ranges +/- 1)

---------- 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.
my lumia turned of after i let the battery go flat, now before any 1 says u shouldnt let it go flat completely u can let any other phone discharge and have no issue at all.
after 2 hrs of messing around to get it back on i found unpluging and pluging the charger in and out kicked the phone into life.
its a joke to say the least and im very dissapointed in the lumia battery nokia need to sort it.
i have emailed nokia uk telling them what i think of the lumia hope i get a response or a replacement as im sick and tired of this going on even to get my phone to turn on when it turns of.

Which firmware version are you running? I had the same issue before, no longer a problem after the January update.
7.10.8107.79
and the firmware number ends on 11500 or 11501?
The Lumia 800 is a joke. I went through 3 of them, all had a battery life that was to laugh at. It got a little better with the firmware 11500 but still not enough to get me through the day. I handed the 3rd one in with severe mic problems and got a full refund.
I hope the Lumia 900 is a lot better than this really beautiful device but so so flawed.

The only problems I have are:
Occasional fast battery drain
Lack of bass in some (most) songs
Both are fixed in the upcoming update so Lumia will finally be a good phone !)
Everything is solved definitely buy a new firmware 1600.2487.8107.12070
Discharging of the battery is excelent with 12070
11500 is my firmware version is this the latest or is there a new version ?
Is gradually releasing an upgrade to 1600.2487.8107.12070..
The 12070 version doubles standby battery life.
were can i get the new firmware thanks
Got one from a developer contest. Battery life seems beastly(good) on mine. Been using it for a week now, and I think I've only seen it dip below 50% on one occasion in which I was using it for gaming for an extended period of time.

in the lumia development section theres a thread on this it starts like "1600.....
read it and you'll find out how to get it
Battery life on 12070 is excellent.
I've noticed the Lumia 800 12070 firmware makes battery drain go from 140mA down to 80mA
Looking in the Nokia ##634# Diagnostic App, it appears the Lumia runs around 140mA as well.
Is the 710 due to get updated firmware?
Just moved over from the Lumia 800 after numerous battery and data issues and just wanted to say what a complete joy it is having a phone that lasts days on a single charge, and charges fully in just a few hours. Thanks HTC Titan! I was worried that I might have to forsake WP7.5 to go back to iPhone but great experience with the Titan has prevented that
i am currently choosing between Lumia 800 and Titan .. Would you elaborate your usage in details ? thanks
I would say my Battery somehow goes down pretty much after about 5 month of using.
I don't know, but it really struggling to be above 20% after a full day of medium use.

I bought a second hand but mint condition Titan but cannot confirm its age. I use it moderately for push email, texting, an hour or so of browsing a day and light call usage. I am always connected by HSPA/3G and rarely use wifi. So far, I only charge it every third night so it lasts a good 50-70 hours.
I understand that some people are having good battery experiences with the Lumia but I did not. I also had a problem with data which I could to the bottom of- it may have been a handset issue.
Both phones are of an outstanding build quality and the AMOLED screen on the Lumia is beautiful. Typing on both is good, although the Titan's screen size makes it even more of a pleasure.
It seems one will either love or hate the size of the Titan so do try both out before buying.
Hope that helps
Hello from Greece.
Has anybody noticed it?
Excuse me for my bad English.
I am reading for battery problems but with previous firmware i had 4 days battery and with 12070 i have 3 days and 1 hour from last charge and 2 days and 1 hour remaining time without battery saving mode and the battery sows 45%!!!!
call your local Nokia care center, my battery life went from a day and a half heavy use to 2 and a half with 12070, it must be a device flaw.
I have 5 days battery life now and i can finally turn off the vibration!!!!!
I just say that i was not having battery issues with the previous firmware and now it's even better.
About the lag?
Its only me?
my son and I both have Lumia 800s and experience no lag after the update.
