Nokia Lumia |OT| Worth the Weight

So new phone just died now. From about 7:00AM until 9:00PM.
This is a huge improvement from the old one, but I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, this still isn't that great. Yes, my iPhone 4 would die around this time, but I used that constantly. I really had a light day with the Lumia compared to what I'd do with my iPhone. Unless Apple batteries are in a league of their own and my expectations are too high.

Just press back and it will be removed from your multi-task screen.

Are you in an area with LTE? Because that suck juice up a lot more than the 3g/4g.
Car charger time.

Did you discharge/drain it first? That still sounds a bit fast. Started my day at 8:30, moderate use (listened to a few albums, some of a podcast, texting/surfing throughout the day) and I'm at 36% right now.
I sometimes get LTE, it's hit or miss
Just picked one up
I'm on the road all day.Last night when I got it, but it was already under 50% and said it hadn't been charged in 70 days. Today will be the first official 100% -> 0% -> 100%

Going through such an ordeal with ATT now.
Yesterday I got my phone and the SIM said it was invalid (and it wouldn't activate), but I could still use everything over wifi and set it up. Today I spoke with ATT and they said they'd activate it over the phone.
Unfortunately, once I hung up from that "Congratulations robot your phone works" call, my iPhone SIM went dead and the Lumia SIM still won't work. Now I have zero phones. =/
To top it off, I now see that they charged my Amex TWICE, once at $130 and then AGAIN for $250. So somehow during the hour and a half I was on the phone with them the other night, they made two orders--and only one of them was for the discount price.
I'm confident it will all get solved in the next day or two, but it's annoying as hell.

Is there anyway to manage when or how often the store looks for new podcasts? I really like the integration into the music app of the podcasts, but I noticed that it hadn't downloaded any new episodes since Sunday. I manually started one and then it downloaded the rest.
Yeah, pulling all your contacts data for example. May not drain the battery that much anyway? /shrug
Developers have to enable it in code which seems pretty simple.

I had the non-working phone problem, too. They had the sim number wrong in their database, plus they had put the sim card in backwards.
Got my various accounts set up and am now going through manual to see how to do PC sync, etc.

Is there any way to check to see what percentage of battery is being used by various components? That's one feature on my Android phone that helped me optimize my battery life.

Wait what? Are you saying wifi doesn't automatically connect (after manually connecting the first time).

Most stuff is kept in a sleep state with no CPU time. The Homebrew Battery Meter had something like it, but in terms of CPU time.
It does, but it only turns on when you unlock the phone or it needs to check something. You gotta use Keep Alive to have Wi-Fi on when the screen is locked.
It connects automatically since WP7 when the wifi is on and detects a known network, what he meant (or I assume for the wording on his post) is something like this http://es.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/llama-location-profiles_rjse.html

I just downloaded Bandwidth to my 920 (had it on my DVP). I'll post a screen when I get good signal.

I'm thinking mostly of hardware rather than % of CPU time - screen, cell antenna, CPU, GPS, etc. That way, I can adjust sync frequency, screen timeout, etc. to compensate for disproportionate battery drain from certain components. Of course, it's also nice to know if a specific app is the root cause, too.
What changes did you make or was it simply the battery cycling through and getting discharged and charged a few times?

New stock for Australia the 27th? This better not impact the swedish launch. I want my phone dammit. You hear me, Aus-Gaf? Don't make me drill a hole through the earth just to snag a phone
Thats nice, my current phone depleted about 32% of battery by idling over the night. It's so obvious it wasn't meant to run ICS. I'd go back to Gingerbread but eh, what's the point now that I'll have a brand new phone in 2-3 weeks

All i did was let the phone completely die a few times. My phone is still on yesterday's charge. 48% battery left. Says 14 hrs remaining. Moderate use. Debating whether i should switch to the one they're sending me today.
Build quality is amazing
Camera is ridiculous
So much faster than WP7.5
Some people are having battery issues (I was. Let the phone completely die a few times and now everything seems fine)
The Sync app is 100x's worse
Daytime photo's should be better with a camera of this quality (update is coming)

It's only worse compared to the Zune desktop client on Windows.
Correct. I think its pretty much the same product on OSX as it was before. Not sure as I don't use a Mac.
So I got my cyan 920 yesterday but it wasn't a smooth process. I got the phone from WalMart wireless and when I turned the phone on I got a sim card invalid error. So I called Wal-Mart's customer service number and they told me that they could send a new sim card but it would take a week to arrive. Obviously not acceptable. The customer service representative agreed and told me to get the sim card from an at&t store and they would send a free Bluetooth headset for my troubles.
So I went to the at&t store...got the new sim for free...went home...activated it. Success.
first impressions...the phone is damn sexy...and everything so smooth and fast. I haven't gotten a chance to test out the camera yet but I look forward to seeing how well it turns out.

Make sure you have the Creative Studio app, you can fix any daytime photo by bumping the clarity up to two-thirds or three-fourths from half.
I'm glad I bit the bullet on a replacement phone. Noticed today that the High Sensitive screen isn't working either. Tried it with my gloves, an easer, a rubber band wrapped on my finger....nothing works. Turned off High Sensitivity and back on....still nothing.
Anyone with battery issues wanna try that and see if their's has the same problem?

Did you try using a key to test it? I just did this, and it worked on high sensitivity. It did not on normal sensitivity.
Only seems to work when I get my finger on the screen.
Sounds like a defect then.

If it still doesn't work with a banana, it's really broken.
Haha, believe it or not I was looking for a banana or an apple to test with this morning because of the vids...
Pre-ordered yellow one long time ago. It's a very sexy looking gadget with dem yellow tiles, but ever since have been questioning whether It's a too wild color for me, at least on some more serious occasions it can be a little too vivid.
I'm wondering if you can use the silicone shields to cover the original color? ie black silicone shield on yellow phone.

What's the actual name of this app? I can't find it in the store.
