But I think it can be due to allot of apps running in background with new update... Try to use it in offline mode for a day only on wifi. No GPS or Cellular activity !!!

Seems the updates affect each device differently. Since the update I actually go two hours without battery drain with glance screen on. I get to 65% at 6pm during a regular day. Does your phone heat up alot? If so it could be a throttling issue. Check to see what apps are running in the background and close them. I don't leave any apps running in the background.....but just give it a try and see if that affects performance

Hi, i have a Skype subscription to call to all numbers in my country for free, it's only that Skype on Android is not optimal, i do miss some calls and the sound comes sometimes late, wonder how is skype knowing that it's a Microsoft app, is it fully integrated in windows phone?

AnonD-622293, 04 Jan 2017If that was your reason for buying the case, you shouldn't ... moreYour statement is right on Lumia 950XL and some other phones, I understand how AMOLED screen works. In case of non-AMOLED screen, regardless Windows or Android, it will consume battery energy since it require entire back light on. (on LCD, Black color is producing by liquid crystal blocking light)
Well, there is couple reasons, 1) I don't want to burn screen. look at AMOLED Samsung phone deonstrated/isplayed at Bestbuy, it has burnt image. 2) I love the way glance screen appears when I open the flip cover. 3) it has better protection than back cover only. 4) Japanese loves flip cover.

"Always on" will consumer your battery and light up your entire screen. Glance screen does not activate your entire screen, it only light up the digits.
One way to find out; go to a completely dark room swipe your hand across the top right side of your device, then cover only the digits firmly. You'll notice that the rest of the screen does have any form of light only the digits, the room will remain completely dark.
Android the copycats didn't do a good job with "always on".

Kaz, 03 Jan 2017"Double Tap Wake up" function is very handy. I also boug... moreThank you very much kaz for your comments/suggestions. With me I keep my location, data, wifi continuously ON throughout. I do not use Bluetooth at all. I recently installed my device firmware from Windows device recovery tool but since it was an old firmware on Microsoft server, my device updated itself to the latest firmware on the air. I will activate "double tap to wakeup" now and also I am suspecting that keeping data and location services always ON may be consuming a lot of battery. I will switch them OFF to see the improvements. With regards to flip cover, I did not know that Lumia 950XL has hall sensor. Could you suggest me some decent flip covers but not too expensive as I recently bought Mozo back case so my hands are little tight.

zeeshan.mazhari, 03 Jan 2017Hi kaz, could you please help me in getting maximum battery... moreI think you're asking to wrong person, I am not the person who loves technical tune up.
That means I didn't do any special setting, I just enjoy the phone as is.
(Although mine last much more, I think battery for 18 hour is still good, 6AM to Midnight... I wouldn't worry)
I leave Bluetooth (Hand-free talk while driving), GPS (Just in case I want to take picture), Wifi (to connect to free Wifi at McDonald and Coffee shop) ON all the time. I only activate Data when I need it.
However,
Very first thing I did was, Firmware Update through "Windows device recovery Tools"
and activate "double-tap wake up" function.

Please Let us have high quality... moreThough it has plastic body but it is quite durable than most of the phone present out there...
Dropped the phone many times but it survived the drop...unlike my friends as they had spiderwebs on screen only once they dropped ...
I prefer durability over looks...
And yeah most of the time you would look at screen of the phone not at back of the phone ... :p
And it has got a quite great screen ...

After every update in last two months now, this 5.7 inch device become a showreel of starting idea what Windows 10 shood be. It's excellent showcase with bunch of goodies. Better than any iphone 6s or 7 or everyday Android. I personaly used 6s & 7 as my secondary devices with my primary device Lumia 930, wich showed as better allrounder than any Apple IOS 10.0.2, so i sold that Iphone devices and bouth my self a Lumia 950xL wich was buggy crapphone after i turn it on :/// i wanted to smash it at wall but after first update of Win 10, last Relase Preview that device beacome grater and more majestic than any other device out there, including SGs6/s7Edge.. Microsoft Lumia is real buisness and every day great smartphone but ..contraditory, last Nokia Lumia 930 as Nokia Lumia 1520 with same Windows 10 RP are far better and more responsive devices than first&last Microsoft 950&XL ( ofcourse without: usb type c, iris scanner & Continum and must be said: the stamania of L1520 batt., full three days of mid usage, show to not to be belived ) :))) Anyway: Lumia 950 & XL Thumbs up! :)))))) ..just go for it and enjoy in all the features of that two devices
