    Definitely something wrong then because I'm lucky to get much more than about 6 without wanting to charge it to make sure it'll last through the drive home..

    * 11 - 15 hours. I done a few tests the first three days. 4G only / H and wifi etc. I'm happy with all of them. Like I said I use it quite a bit

    My lasts 14 hours and when arrive home the battery still has 40 to 55% depending on day use. On the weekend lasts the all weekend. No complaints at all on the contrary, it has the best battery of all the phones I had in the last 8 years regardless of brand I have used.

    One of those days of my test I downloaded a 1.82Gb movie over 4G & was on it practically all day. It's the best battery life I've got from a phone and i'm over the moon.

    Did you have that performance from the start or did you have to let things 'settle' before the performance improved?

    On the Z30, a lot of the built in menus and pages have dark theme because of the AMOLED screen.

    I got my z30 on Thursday and I wish I could be happy with my battery life, because I got it because of the acclaimed battery life, but so far, on less than average usage, I get barely 12 hours which is quite frustrating, considering the fact that I'm in Nigeria and I was also expecting superb battery. What is the way forward pleaseeeeee :'(

    Can you describe your typical usage and what (if any) android apps you use?

    I have just Mobogenie, Instagram and Candy Crush Soda installed. My usage is below average because it is a second phone and I haven't fully started using it. Barely after 10 minutes of continuous usage my battery drops 5%, after a 20 minutes call my battery dropped another 5 %.

    Of course everyone has different ideas of usage. I consider myself a light to moderate user. From my screen shot you can see the three apps I keep open all the time (CB, Device Monitor, and Weather). I also have five email accounts that are polled as well. I check Facebook several times a day. Additionally I browse the Web many times a day. I text my wife and two oldest boys a time or two a day. And finally I probably take two to three calls a day.

    Heavy days would consist of ten calls in a day and maybe streaming same videos and music. I rarely play games. When I travel I use the GPS and a map application, but I would have the phone plugged into the vehicle charger then.

    I have never completely drained my Z30 in a day. My days are typically 18 hours off of the charger.

    EDIT: And I usually check these forums with the CB app almost hourly.

    I used to get 2 days out of a charge. Since going to 10.3.2.2339 I have to charge every day.

    Wish I could go back to 10.3.1....

    Well I honestly don't know how everyone does it, because I only get thirteen hours of average battery life (From experience and as stated on the Device Monitor) from moderate use (Constantly checking texts, BBM, Facebook, Twitter. No gaming whatsoever)

    But that doesn't bother me too much. It still lasts twice as long as my Z10 does. It'd be better to have it last all day, though.

    I think it really depends on how much you use it. If you are on BBM, browser, texting and email on a regular basis during the day, it will use more power. I usually am sitting at around 50% by the end of the day.

    Just wanted to post again today to show my battery usage. Today I would consider this an extra heavy day of usage. First off, bible app open for an hour this morning at church. Then my normal CB forum surfing. Then lots of video playing off the Internet, probably two hours worth off my router at home. Followed by heavy Facebook and Internet browsing when I took my family bowling all on my phone data plan along with some photos taken on this Z30. Then more standard CB browsing. Then finally ended the day with a 25 minute run using CascaRun, so this used GPS as well as I do not minimize the app. It is on the whole time with the display on. The following screen shots show my battery usage. Again, I believe everyone's definition of light, moderate and heavy use vary.

    My standard three apps always running before I put the phone on the charger.

    Hope this gives some folks an idea of how my battery lasts on a heavy usage day for me.

    I usually get home at around 10-20%. I'm out daily from 6AM-8PM, and I'm not a very heavy user.

    I guess someone bought a bad Z30 haha but I don't mind.

    Depends on what you're doing really, streaming videos or playing android games over 4G it will last between 5-7 hours

    General usage, emails, phone calls, taking photos, browsing light websites over 3G/ wifi will last you 13-15 hours

    If you just use wifi everywhere expect much longer out of your battery

    Screen brightness plays a big part too

    All of the above as well as the other factors like the apps update frequency... and the sync time for emails... They're an important determinant for battery life.

    I get around 16-20 hours on medium usage... I have 2 email accounts... twitter, facebook and LinkedIn connected... For 99% of the time I use Wi-Fi.

    Also play Clash of clans for around 30-60 minutes everyday.

    Can you check in CPU tab of device monitoe to see if in idle mode, there is any process or app that actively eats your battery?
