"I'm now in my fourth day of using the Lumia 920 and Windows Phone 8 in lieu of the iPhone 5 in our Living With Lumia challenge.\nSo why is this post/video delayed? I'm glad you asked! Yesterday, we had a Google+ Hangout (sorry about the technical problems) and I answered some questions and talked with the community about the process of switching phones.\nOriginally, that hangout was going to be my Day 3 entry and video, but when I left to go to a series of events in the afternoon, a more pressing issue reared its head: Battery life.\nIn short, I'm having issues with it on my Lumia 920. On my first day with the 920, I noticed that the battery life wasn't great and that the phone was hot to the touch. I didn't dwell on this because I was doing a lot with the phone \u2014 setting it up, downloading apps, etc. After a full battery cycle, the problem seemed to disappear.\n\nSEE ALSO: Elop: Lumia 920 Is the \u2018Next Step\u2019 in the Windows Phone Journey\nIn fact, on day two with the phone, I really didn't have any noticeable issues with the phone. So far, so good!\nYesterday, that changed. I left my office around 4:15 to go to an event \u2014 the phone was at 100%. By the time I got to the event's location \u2014 maybe 20 minutes later, I'd probably lost 10 or 15% of my battery. Moreover, the phone was very hot to the touch.\nAt the event, I sent a few tweets, took a few photos and browsed some websites. I noticed the phone was getting increasingly warm and that the battery life was dropping quickly. I made sure my background tasks were off (only weather could still run in the background), NFC was turned off, and I didn't have geotagging on the camera.\nBy 6 p.m., my phone was down to 55%, dropping at least 40% in just 90 minutes.\nI sent the following tweet with a screenshot of my battery at 6:24 p.m.\nMy battery right now. #livingwithlumia twitter.com/film_girl/stat\u201A\u00C4\u00B6\u2014 Christina Warren (@film_girl) November 15, 2012\nWhile I was able to make it to my other events, I was afraid to use the phone. Even without being used \u2014 the phone was almost dead (4% battery) by 10:30 p.m.\nTrying to Find Solutions\nPerusing the Internet, I found I'm not the only one with battery issues. A quick poll of my Twitter followers showed about 50% of fellow 920 users have had issues, 50% haven't.\nOn WPCentral, a forum titled \"lumia 920 Battery Issues\" has nearly 400 replies with various users offering advice and anecdotal feedback.\nNokia responded to my concerns on Twitter and via email and directed me to an area on its support forums. \nI had already implemented the changes it suggested last night and still had issues with my phone's battery.\nAs of right now, I'm having better luck today and will monitor the situation as the day continues. If I run into another period of rapid battery drain, I may take the drastic step of resetting my phone (which some users say has worked), though I'd like to avoid that if possible.\nBattery life is a fundamental feature in using a smartphone so I look forward to seeing how this plays out in the future.\nLiving With Lumia, Previous Installments:\n\nCan Mashable\u2019s Apple Fangirl Switch to the Lumia 920?\nLiving With Lumia: Day 1, Getting Into the Groove\nLiving With Lumia Day 2: The Story of Apps\n\nBONUS: A Tour of the Nokia Lumia 920\n\n\nNokia Lumia 920\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNokia Lumia 920\nThe Nokia Lumia 920 is the flagship smartphone on Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 platform.
