I always wonder how you guys lumia 800 battery can last these long... Mine can last this long ONLY if I never on my 3G and just use wifi. If I happened to use whatsapp on 3G for like 20-30 minutes. the phone battery will go down almost 50% and the whole phone super hot. Anyone has good luck with 3G? End up i am not even on my 3G when I go out because of fearing the battery sucks up too quickly.. so many of my friends will ask me WHY YOU NEVER ON WHATSAPP?? btw.. whatsapp notification in lumia still VERY BAD~
Any special tips to be able to use 3G (with minor/ moderate usage) and can last me throughout a day?
Yeah, without 3G turned on the phone could last up to 3 days (with very minimal usage).
I used to get less than 10 hours but after the latest update on the firmware, now with 3G on, moderate usage of Whatsapp, some internet browsing, rather frequent Facebooking (via the "Friends" feature) and email pushing (hourly), 1 to 2 hours talk time (on average), my phone could last me at least 14 hours now.
I'm afraid of battery being drained but not to the extend like yours having to turn 3G off.
Regarding the heating issue, mine only occurs when i browsing the internet and nothing else.
Why is the Whatsapp notification "very bad" to you? I think it's fine to me.
