I think my Lumia's busted.. Battery life seems to be extremely sucky for me and this on standby. Charged phone to full last night and disconnected from charger at 3am, now my battery status is reading 51%. The only thing it has been used for this morning is the alarm clock.

Firmware: 1600.2483.9107.11501
Location services, wifi, bluetooth all off. Carrier data on. It's linked to hotmail, messenger, gmail and xboxlive.

According to its specs, it's supposed to be able to go on standby in 3G mode for 300+hours. What type of standby time are you guys getting on average?

I don't think that's right.. 50% charge used up in 7 hours? When the phone has been on standby for almost all of the 7 hours? When the screen has been turned off?

I mean look at the specs on the webpage http://www.nokia.com/my-en/products/phone/...specifications/

Sure, different patterns of usage.. I'm asleep.. I'm not touching my phone - sure it's updating my mail feeds but seriously, it's supposed to use 50% in 7 hours? I'm not that naive to take that 335hrs 3G standby time at face value. In fact at this point I'd be happy to take 20% of that advertised standby time. Heck maybe even 10%.

If you bothered to read my earlier post, you would have seen that I'm already using the latest firmware and if you've not been following the news then yes, it does include the battery fix. Phone is scheduled to refresh emails every 30 mins, not that it matters since I'm asleep. Phone task manager has no apps running in the background. Nokia charger that came with the phone.. i have no idea what "and etc" means nor do i think it's relevant.

I see you've not got the lumia 800 yet. That's fine - I'm trying really hard to love the phone, it's features/feel is great. What's stopping me is the unreasonable battery consumption.

Well you can dial ##634# to enable nokia's diagnostic tool, however it doesn't really tell you what's consuming the power, only the amount of power the phone is consuming.

Yes 3G is on. Changed to edge and it looks like battery drain is down. I will investigate further during the weekend. Looking through the nokia forums it looks like this is a potential culprit although it's strange that some people don't have this problem.

Could be a hardware issue. I had a similar problem as well, thought it was 3G scanning due to the weak signal where i live but it was still draining at a similar rate even in flight(!) mode. I sent it back to Nokia and apparently they've done something to the board. I'll find out more details when i collect it.
