95% after 4.25 hours.
Congrats! Hopefully my replacement shows up today. My GF's white one got charged on Tuesday night and she still had half a battery this morning. Mines gotten marginally better but is already down 20% in 3 hours of light use.

Possible Battery Issue Cause?

Looks like Google did some back-end changes to GMail within the last 72 hours, and it's causing issues on WP8 (one has to wonder about the timing).
This may be at least part of the battery issues some are seeing.

this is what I went with. Works great but I'd easily pay good money for a car mount with qi charging.

I found out that I can't bring over my unlimited data that I have with my iPhone over to this new phone. I'm debating on returning this phone now.
Huh? I had no problem bringing mine over. What was the reason they gave you?

They said iPhones have their own data plan

No one is sure yet if the "Email Only" option actually avoids the issue. It's just been suggested.

Yeah, that their way of getting you off their unlimited plan. I really hate carrier. They are the cable companies of mobile world. Hope some day new technology pit them out like dinosaurs.

BS. I kept my unlimited data when I switched from my iPhone to my Samsung Focus, and still have that plan with my 920.
Bullshit, whoever told you that. Brought mine over just fine. Even switched to a family plan and kept it for my Lumia 920 and got 3gb for the lady's 920.
What really sucks is that if they have already terminated your unlimited data then it might be a bitch to get back. Whoever told you that really fucked you.

They put it back on but she said when I switch over to the Lumia it'll go to a limited plan. I'm going to call and complain. If they say there's nothing they can do about it, I'll just tell them I'm leaving AT&T. Hopefully that works because I really want the lumia 920.
Yeah its BS. I went from iPhone Unlimited to 4G Unlimited when I picked up the HTC Titan. Then it switched me to LTE Unlimited when I went with the Lumia 900.

A yellow version is coming to Rogers:
question is, when?

I went from iPhone 2G unlimited to "iPhone 3G" unlimited to "LTE Basic" unlimited.
Ok I'm pretty confident the ungodly amount of Kik messages is what drained my battery today. I've literally gotten close to or over 100 messages today. My friends were going crazy planning tomorrow and then all complained their batteries were dying out (mix of iPhones and droids).
I'm sitting at 60% now with barely any (personal) use and off he charger for 9 hours.

Why not use the built-in "Rooms" feature for group messaging? I think that's what it's for and I think it works across ecosystems.
Edit: nm.. looks like group chat is only WP8 to WP8.

So I shot with the Lumia 920 in sports mode, which I can assume uses a fast shutter speed, and then another in Auto (I used Night as well, but the results turned out the same):
Pretty ridic. May not be the BEST comparison, as sports probably assumes good lighting and has a fast shutter...but under my desk is pretty dark this time of day. 920's camera better than my eyesight CONFIRMED

My other phones would have choke on this picture, indoor with little light and close-up picture of lenticular objects.
Not bad man. Did you do a hard reset when you first got the phone? How you liking it overall so far?
I have done a few cycles of completely draining it and a full charge. We will see how far I get with it today. Tough to compare with my old phone since you tend to use a new phone a lot initially I find.
I'm loving it so far. Feels good in the hand, the build quality is great and the camera is fantastic in low-light as everyone has stated. My cellular coverage seems to bounce around a lot, which I think has more to do with shitty Rogers.
I read on the Rogers forum that someone else did that.
Good stuff man. Keep the impressions coming.
So tomorrow is the Grand Opening of the MS Store at Yorkdale Mall near Toronto. Who's going?:

Depends really on the mfg and sometimes they consider a certain amount tolerable. I don't really know Nokia's stance on this though. I have to tell you though every time I see that damn green pixel it is the only thing I can see on the screen.
I haven't dealt with dead pixel(s) in quite some time so it's a bit disappointing to see one on this otherwise gorgeous screen.
I would try, but I did not have luck once, but that was a TFT. Where is it located?
My recommendation would be to not bring up the dead pixel and return it on the basis of having a bad battery.
rargh, made a new ms account for the phone and it made me a new gamertag before I could link my current gamertag to it.
After reading what I have to do to fix that I just reset my phone and created yet another account. This time ill link my gamertag to it before using any of the xbox apps on the phone..

Yeah I am holding out to see if the battery issue improves to see if I take it in for both. It's right around the middle of the screen.
That's pretty cool.
I was pretty surprised as well...so I did some digging. Wal-Mart Wireless is really just Wirefly.com. Everything comes from wirefly.com fulfillment centers, all Wal-Mart does is lend its brand.
