Guys,

Sorry to bother you with this subject again...

Before I get the Lumia 800, I heard about the Battery Issue.

Anyway, I saw that with an update this problem was solved so, I've decided to buy this to simple use.

Well, I made all update that was disponible on Zune last sunday and this problem remains the same...

Sometimes I fell the mobile phone a little bit warm as well...

Is there a way to solve that?

I have no facebook installed, my email account is set up to check email in one hour. I cant figure out how solve it. Im very disappointed because my battery go down with 8 ou 9 hours in normal use... :(

How to check how much charge my battery gets when it is in full charge? Do you think that if I do a hard reset it can be solved?

Informations about my device:

O.S: 7.10.8773.98
FW: 1750.0805.8773.12270
RADIO: 1.7.50.08

Many thanks for any help! :D

Just to say that yesterday I wiped my phone and I had no good results.

Still bad. In the diagnostic tool show average of 200mA.

I cant believe that in some screenshots, other people has average of 70~100mA ..

I must doing something wrong, but I dont know what....

I love this phone, but the battery... :(

i will not tell you to turn off anything that can drain battery, because I guess you already did that. But one thing that people tend to leave on is the option to "send statistics". It is a huge battery drainer, it always connects to different servers and sends off statistics, like keyboard stats., sysem stats, location stats etc. so turn them off. Oh,an WP 7.8 is already out, install it in first place, use the Navifirm method to insure you delete everything from the phone

wings, I follow yours tips and installed WP7.8.

Unfortunatelly it doesnt work.
My phone is with gps, 3g and wifi turned on and my email account is set up to check email in one hour.

My phone keeps losing 8~10% per hour with screen off. In my oppinion it is so much! My last phone (an Xperia Play) it spend 1~2% during the same time with the same configuration...

I'm really disappointed with nokia.

Is it normal in diagnostic my phone has average 170mA? I saw some videos in the internet with some guys having 80mA as average in battery test...

I already tried to wait cellphone turns off without battery, and then charge during one entire night and without success... same problem again...

Really that I'm the only one that is having this issue recently???

tks again.

Same here wid me dude... I updated it to 7.8 n now my fully charged battery in the night goes fully drained in the morning. The phone is switched off when I wake up. And also the phone gets more hot also when the phone is in standby. on WP 7.5 I used to charge my phone the next day morning but with WP7.8 i'm charging it 2-3 times day.. Is any one facing the same issue???

First of all... having WiFi turned on at all times is a batterykiller, no matter what phone you use. Also using autocheck on email kills the battery very fast, push is even worse.

So... the first I do to keep the battery for at least 24 hours is to turn of automatic backlight and set it to medium. The lightsensor drains battery more than you thing. I have WiFi turned on only when I need it. And I check my mail manually...

I have also read somewhere that if you exit the PeopleHub in facebookmode it keeps syncing in the background, and if you leave it in phonebookmode it does not.

These small tips keeps my Lumia 800 with 7.8 for 18-24 hours with Heavy texting, medium 10-15 2 minute calls and checking my mail 3-4 times a day. I did the same while on 7.5

I tried that yesterday.

The curious thing in my case is that doesnt matter if 3g, wifi, push mail are activated or not. The drain of the battery remains the same.

For example, if i disable everything from my phone, it drains 8~9% of battery with screen off, and I doing nothing with it. And, if I enable everything, it keeps the drain in 8~9% of battery. Looks like my phone doesnt into in "deep sleep", maybe...

Very curious and very frustrating thing as well.

Anyway, thanks for try help me Manneman32!

I´m really sad to hear that nothing has helped you getting the phone to last longer. For me it sounds more like some kind of hardwarefault then... and I suppose the warranty has expired?

Best wishes
