            Yeah, maybe, but i don'T knwo if this is normal. While in standby consumes less battery 1% per 2 3 or 5 hours. But just playing a bit with it it's eating the battery like eating cupcake's. Enormouse battery drain just zapping through menu. from 15% to 30 % one hour menu zapping.... This is just ridiculous!

                        Please fix the network conection my phone loses service ALOT. Battery Drain still needs to be fixed and the heating issue my phone shouldnt get hot after 3 minutes.
                        PLEASE PLEASE FIX!!!!!!!!!

                            If microsoft been working on windows 8.1 for 2 years it should NOT have NO bugs or NO battery problems. All Lumia 8 devices should be tested before releasing a preview update.
