my L1520 always 3G(no LTE here) normal usage battery can last almost 2-2.5 days..
its because of their massive battery... waiting for 8.1 cyan... i heard they will be huge battery drain with DP 8.1 cyan

920 ONLY SMS and CALL

lasting 4 days

Using Lumia 525, my daily average use (Battery Saver always On, brightness Low):

12am-10am (sometimes until 12pm or later, depending if I'm too busy at work)- Flight mode On, no apps open

12/1pm - On Wifi, open Whatsapp and Nokia Xpress/I.E for about 20 minutes

1pm-6/7pm - No usage except for occasional quick Wifi use if got spare time.

6/7pm-10/11pm - Wifi on (not constantly but most of the evening), Whatsapp running

By end of the day I'll have used about 15-20%


BTW is Instagram Beta for WP 8.0 suppose to drain battery even when its closed?

Use 6tag for instagram.. better

Lumia 925, WP8.1DP (Pre-cyan), wifi/3G/LTE always on.

This was on a normal working day, intermittent usage of whatsapp, instagram, fb, baconit, calls, sms, etc...

This was the average battery life i was getting.




Battery life has dropped by at least 30% after updating to WP8.1.1DP Cyan, same usage patterns.

Average is now around 12hours

You're right, battery usage a lot better now with 6tag.

pls teach me how to do screenshot in Windows Phone?

For 8.0, Power button + windows button.
For 8.1, Power button + volume up.

lol, still doing a screenshot in Android the best...

Now with WP 8.1:
