Ok, this phone is driving me nuts, honestly, if I play a game for 10 minutes, it drinks like an Australian. So, I know Nokia diagnostics is not accurate yada yada, neither I nor Nokia did once state that it is, but it is useful for estimation. So can everybody kindly pop down a few details of there phones battery status/diagnostics on here. Would help if we can narrow it down to see if there's a pattern of problems. I'll start with mine.

AverageCurrent: 176-278 mA
1410mah / 278 = ~5h of battery time
simply phone eats battery more than normal, under normal conditions upper value should be ~200mah but it seems that our phone takes that much just by sitting in home screen when phone is unlocked

Strange, today, my phone, (even after not installing any background using apps) battery is acting strange, hitting from 190 - 324 mA, with standby current at -1mA, I lost 55% battery last night on standby, I gave it a full charge this afternoon and it's already on 33% after 7 hours. something is definitely wrong after every charges.
Well I have been having the same problems with the battery as you guys, but here is a new twist:
Last night, before charging, I switched the phone off completely. Then I plugged it into the charger and of course the phone switched itself on and started charging. Fully charged at around 11pm so I unplugged it and went to bed. It is now 1pm in the afternoon and am still at 75% charge and the phone tells me it'll be good for another 16 hours........
Not seen that before now.

I'm starting to think that either a) Nokia knows they have a few defective devices and doesn't want to replace them unless customer complains or b) Nokia doesn't realise that there are defective devices and can't acknowledge the complaints but are replacing the handsets with the most complaints received.
Makes me think, have they become cowboys on there successful mobiles?
surely, the Lumia 800 is a thirsty thing. My one year old Iphone 4 has better battery life. Last night, in airplane mode, my Lumia drained from 90% to 53% in about 7 hrs.
Yesterday I had to buy a charger to use at work. It's a shame since it's really a wonderful phone..
The HTC HD2 har better Battery life.

Try a factory reset if you have not done so yet. It has helped many with battery issues such as yours. Your battery drain is not normal at all and I would not accept it.
Hi
I have got Lumia for few days, and can't really say how long it works. First day didn't shocked me, but it was acceptable (About 3/5 day, little sad, but nothing to do about it), because all my friends wanted to play with this phone. Yesterday when it had about 20-25% of baterry I decided to check standby time and it gives me standby/very light usage 17hours, so it's nice.
Today when I was charging I looked into diagnostics and it was very strange for me, because it shown average current over 300mA, then I started game to see what would happen, and it gave me about 250-260mA. Strange? After this I turn game of, played little bit with settings and unchecked localization in camera and turn on general localization (because I turn off localization few minutes before), and guess what? 80-86mA! This is sick. I try to turn localization in camera to check if it causes hard battery drain, but after this nothing happened, still 80-86mA. I think it's lottery...
After disconnecting charger it show now 167mA, but I noticed that this app drain lots of power, so I uninstal it.
Phone shows now 1 day and 15 hours (Actually it was showing, because when I turn on diagnostic it ate 1% of battery, and now I'm charging it again, to gain full capacity)
PS: Sorry for my bad English
And My F/W is: 1600.2483.8107.11501
The best I can do is 2 days and 5 hours, that's with Edge connection only, mobile data off, 30 mins WiFi internet browsing (WiFi turned off all other times), no bluetooth, location turned off, no email/facebook sync, brightness on auto, no background apps whatsoever, a fair few texts and a couple of calls.
If I turn on google mail sync (every hour), my battery life wont last any longer than 10 - 12 hours max. Really don't understand why that kills the battery so much...

Gremlins, it's the only explanation.
I did the same switch off and then plug in on thursday and all I got was 10 hours at best. However, friday I did the same and now as we speak (8:30 pm) I still have 16 hours to go.....

Mine (actually not mine - I switched phones with my mom, I will write in other post why) got crazy too.
It's after hard reset from menu and few sim changes (don't know what is responsible for this maybe date change) but it looks like this:
If it comes to battery life, I'm little disappointed with it, because burn battery really fast, but after this reset it's on standby for about day now, but mostly standby, maybe two calls, and some very little actions on IE and no auto sync (but 3G and data on, no wifi, because I have good).
But If it stays like this, I think it should make up a day with medium use, but still, this is not what I've seen in video on nokia youtube channel
And of course I would be glad to have two days medium-heavy usage like some people saying in comments under that video.
Sorry, wrong thread.
I got stock AT&T JB, rooted and installed TWRP. Removed all the bloat via TB Freeze (watching if anything breaks). I have slight hope that battery life could be a bit better, but not so. How's yours?
FYI, I don't play tons of games nor talk a lot on the phone, but I do use these, which I believe sucks battery regardless of what phone I use:
1). 3 Gmail accounts with Push
2). 1 Exchange account with Push
3). Google Now with Location Reporting - lots of wakelock unfortunately.
The phone does have "Deep Sleep", so no issue there.
I could say abouth 10 to 12 hour of use or less but I been getting 1 day of use on mine after the update. Take in mine i work in a office so I don use it much. Just few calls. Texting butbi do se netxflix during my lunch time

From another thread I posted in;
I'm at 4 hours screen on time and 22 hours on battery with 18% remaining. On my second full charge cycle on this update. I fully charged last night and unplugged from charger. Checked 8 hours later and battery was at 96%. Deep sleeping well. Running stock un-rooted with about 40 apps disabled. My stock battery is fairly new, purchased about a month ago.
I just switched back to CM10 stable this morning...but I made a nandroid of my rooted stock. The battery life, from my little bit of time I had with it, was less than usual and the phone ran pretty hot.

I froze all the crap and used it for two days and I barely get through the day. And I'm a little more busy so I spend a little less time on phone activites.
I will say I noticed it charges pretty fast.

That's really good batery life! I'll be lucky to get 2 hours screen yime with that much standby!
You mentioned new battery, maybe that's what I need to buy. My battery is about 11 months old.

Without a doubt the health of the battery makes a big difference. The old battery did not last long and it would stop charging at 30-40%. I replaced the battery and charger (Both OEM) and it was like night and day! I was able to get a little over 5 hours screen time and over a day and a half standby on stock ICS. I'm hoping to get close with this rom after a few more charge cycles. (FYI, I avoid charging the battery or even plugging into a USB until I am able to fully charge the battery. I believe short intermittent charging negatively effects battery life/performance.)
These screenshots are from stock un-rooted 4.0.4 a few charge cycles after I replaced the battery and charger;
I ran into an issue today where my battery went down by about 50% in 3 hours will about 10mins time where the phone wasn't in standby, I went into battery and found that the media service had used almost half of that or around 25% of my battery. rebooted the phone and i'll see where it goes from there. prior to that battery life was fine.

Ah.. that's going to be tough for me. I drive a lot for work and use the Google Navigation. The phone is connected to the USB charger in the car on and off. I.e. 1 hour here...30 min there...
Lithium-ion batteries don't suffer from the memory issues of other battery types. Little bursts of charging won't shorten its life.
But a new battery should always be charged to 100% before using.
Battery wasn't as good as 4.0.4 rooted, debloated, running on Nova prime launcher. I have the exact same setup on 4.1.2. However, it seems to charge a bit faster.

Yes! Thought it was only me. So weird but indeed it charges faster.
And honestly the battery life is about the same. Though I did remove lots of stuff and this is how my application screen looked before restoring all of my apps.
After I restored all the apps I left my phone during the night after full charge with 2 voip apps running. (though keep in mind I slept only for 6 hours and I use that cheap $10 extended battery):

Both my current batteries still charges, it just don't last as long as I hoped to.
BTW, with the kind of battery life you got, are you running the following:
- Multiple GMail Push accounts
- Exchange accounts
- Google Now.
Just 1 Gmail (Using the email app, I disabled the Gmail apk), no exchange, and I am running Google Now. I do not run any memory intensive games, etc. Just web, Tapatalk, simple games, etc. A lot of screen time was spent setting up home screens, widgets, wallpaper, etc. Would be considered light use.

Thanks for the info. I have more background apps running as mentioned above (push emails, Exchange, etc.), so my battery life suffers. I am using an extended battery (thick one) and it doesn't last as long as I hoped to.
So far, it has been:
Battery level: 64%
Battery time: 9 hours, 30 minutes
Screen time: 2 hours, 21 minutes
FYI, this is how bad my battery life is...
Not sure if this is because of Google Now or the fact that I have multiple stuff going on in the background...
I have the same issue as you. The maps app is killing my battery. It is waking the phone every minute it seems. I unchecked all boxes in location services today and my battery is still at 80% with limited useage. What is causing maps to keep activating?

I believe it is Google Now.
My battery drains even when I am using the phone while its plugged into USB wall charger. In general, 2 hours of steady use will drain 75% of my battery. I have 4 total batteries and get roughly the same performance from each.
