Lumia 800 (RM-801) high discharge rate

[Snake.]

Is anyone getting high discharge rate on 12070 firmware? This is driving me nuts, the phone lasts barely 24 hours. The drain value is about 207mA, sometimes drops to 76mA, but after a while peaks again even to 389mA. HD7 after 24 hours has 60% of battery left, Lumia 13%.

If this is the way how Nokia is going to continue with the windows phone brand, then god be with us.

PS: don´t go telling me about hard resetting the phone, I´m not gonna do that, I did, it fixed it, then I restored the data back, and after a week it´s back. I don´t have time to do this every weekend.

Yes and 12072 made it even worse for me, about 100mA when not in use and 350 or higher when a push notification comes in.

I personally think the data connection is causing the big drains, when actively using 3G the battery drains very fast. So using whatsapp, IE9, etc and other apps using data or PN will contribute quite significantly. I am lucky if I get 20 hours, most of the time 12-15... It used to be 20-24 on 12070 somehow.

You can test the battery drains due to PN by sending yourself some messages trough whatsapp (or let a friend do this) and then check the diagnosis app battery meter.

Also a bad 3G reception will kill the phone in 9 hours of use

It´s not a problem of 3G, when I switch to EDGE, I also get drains like that. What I think it is, it happened everytime when some apps got updated, lately SkyDrive and SoundHound and Weather Flow week before. Nokia should do something about this because this is unacceptable.

Are you using 'as items arrive' for the email 'Download new content' setting? I was getting wild and frequent fluctuations from 90-400 mA with this on, changing it to poll every X minutes seems to keep it down in the 70s. Can't be 100% sure if this is the issue without more testing.
