It was broken long before, the battery apps is reading it correctly as the battery settings in the menu is saying the same thing.
 
I think your calibration's got an errounous value that's screwing your %, what you want to know is how long it actually lasts, if it's 18 or so hours then there's nothing wrong with it. Then you just have to leave it a few weeks for it to recalibrate itself, or you could do a full reset, flash gdr2 again?
 
Just seen this from a Nokia forum moderator, certainly sounds like an erroneous value has snuck in. I'd be seriously thinking about flashing GDR2.

This percentage will become more accurate over time, but will always be (somewhat) relative to recent use.

Downloaded the update, phone on charge, go back to it an hour later, charger switched off at the wall :lol:
 
Okay, after tonight the battery has been all over the place, and the wireless charging hasn't been staying on to charge the battery, it just stops for no reason, is a hard reset worth doing, how do I do it, any risks?

Before you go wiping your phone, have a word with Nokia Care. If they don't have a solution and ask for you to send in your phone, that's when I'd try a hard reset, as that's what they'd do anyway.

Will do, still well inside my warranty for a couple of months thankfully.

Anyone else using the double tap to wake feature......and totally forgetting about it and still doing the "pinch" to hit the power button? :D
 
Before you do a hard reset, delete as many apps as possible so you're got lots of RAM for the update, they'll be deleted anyway. Apparently not having a lot available is the reason why it took mine a long time. Dunno if it's true but it make a bit of sense.

Should take 20 minutes, but if it's still on the spinning gears afterr a couple of hours, do a soft reset, vol down and power button.
 
Now on the Nokia Care Suite, pretty sure its Amber for EE?

059R1W4
RM-821 VAR EURO1 GB EE SL BLACK
3047.000.1326.2021

Going to flash it now and see.

Edit: Yes it is, working fine on the EE Amber firmware.

Had this phone for nearly a year now. This phone did not suit me at all. It was awful.

Battery Life terrible
Crashes a lot
Too many bugs
Lack of any multitasking
Horrible for typing
Lack of any top apps or good games
What's App - now improved but still terrible riddled with bugs.
Skype? A company owned by MS but have a useless app.
No Instagram

This is all my own opinion of course but it's the worst phone I've ever used so far. I think if more of my friends had Windows phone I would appreciate it more but the majority of people have Android or Apple.

There are some good points like the Camera and Home-screen.

I'm so happy I will never ever see the words ...RESUMING again. :D

Apologies if this post seems a bit negative but just sharing my opinion.:P

Battery Life terrible - I get 18-24hrs on medium to heavy use

Crashes a lot - Only on certain apps which I either get rid or wait for updated version e.g. Skype

Too many bugs - WP8 OS have bugs like all software but none that I noticed, occasionally the BBC News app crash on me when I multi-task, but that App is no longer supported, I managed to keep it since getting it back in WP7.5

Lack of any multitasking - Apps dependent, all my most use apps no longer do this 'resuming' business.

Horrible for typing - Subjective, coming from an Android and BB user, I'm fine with it after 2 weeks of 'getting used to it'.

Lack of any top apps or good games - Lack of Kairosoft games is the only down for me, plenty of decent Xbox and indie games to keep me occupied between working and using 'top apps' such as Metrotube, Weave (one of the better RSS/Newsfeed reader) e.t.c.

What's App - now improved but still terrible riddled with bugs. - It works, it's functional and no problem for me, including notification when receiving messages, many complained about it, not happened to me.

Skype? A company owned by MS but have a useless app. - Totally agreed.

No Instagram - 6Tag and the likes, don't see an issue with "no instagram".

Just to balance out a little from my positive use of WP8. I'm on the 920, and to be honest, it fits what I require. There's so many bragging about the number of apps, the speed e.t.c. But honestly, how many apps can we concentrate on at any one point?

The whole live tiles is brilliant to tie them all together. Enough work apps (MS Office / One Note - though I'm finding Evergreen to be better these days), enough gaming apps (for my casual and occasional indulgence) and plenty of practical app, including Strava support via Cyclometer App.

Yes, it's not as fancy as Android where you can literally customise it to your hearts content. The support from Nokia and the hardware of the 920 more than makes up for it, in my opinion. So not everyone is displeased :p
 
I think most of the issues are just my personal issues with how I use a phone and what I expect from it. Coming from a iPhone and living in their eco system for 4 years it's hard adjusting to something completely different.

I'm glad I tried Windows Phone. It's definitely got potential but some big software updates need to be pushed out.

My next phone? Who knows.
 
So if that's on the server, it'll change from "waiting for approval" to "coming soon".

I get 48 hours battery life with WiFi (before Amber, only 24 with Glance etc.) on my 820.

All the major phone manufacturers have their niche, Apple have their huge App Store and the people buying the phone for the name, however they're really not great because of the price. Android have the customisation and large amounts of apps however they're really open and feel like a very laggy OS certainly not smooth. Windows Phone has its cameras and support.

If you go into setting I just hit Phone Update and see if its available yet, unless you are not wanting to wait and are looking to flash it early?
