What battery life are you guys getting? Mine lasts for only about 10 hours. (Use 3G occasionally)
Disable NFC (does it have it?) and location. Browsing eats up battery, but not any more than I have seen in other phones. Its got a rating comparable to the 920 and mine lasts a full day with decently heavy screen use and wifi on all the time.
Nokia Lumia 520 goes through our extended battery testing regime, see how it managed - GSMArena Blog
Is it new? If yes allow for a week's use for the battery meter to calibrate. Mine improved dramatically within a week of purchase and I have other reasons to believe that its the battery calibration that causes this rather than an actually drained battery. For example -try to switch on the phone about 10 minutes after it shuts down of low battery and you'll generally find that the phone powers up and reports anywhere from 10-30% battery left and actually goes the corresponding distance. Would be worth trying

Thank you pranav..ordering these items..with regards to battery life..i am pleasantly surprised that Lumia 520 is giving me about 1 day and 10 hours of average battery life in moderate usage...with wifi on/data on and little bit of browsing and music...and the phone is 5 days old...

You're welcome buddy
1 day + is a good battery life nowadays. Sadly we are long past the time when an N70 would last close to half a week without much trouble
I felt restricted moving into smartphones with respect to battery life, but now I am used to the daily routine of plugging in the phone all the time if I am near some power source. That being said, the 920 with battery saver on (and active) + wifi off + data off + no more than 5 minutes of screen use per hour + no active background tasks (no, dont have to disable the background tasks from settings, just exit all apps by pressing <- and restart to kill whatsapp if you use it) has shown a very impressive 1-1.5% drain per hour. So if you are in a real crunch, you know what to do

Few apps like football,zomato etc...but not many..perhaps the reason for high battery life..

The local Mobile Store people are charging 9.7K.. Is it fine to buy it at this price??
