My Android (S3 with CyanogenMod 11) phone uses about 5 % of battery while deep sleeping almost a whole day. The battery lasts easily for 3-4 days. But even worse than your Lumia is my iPhone 5. I have to recharge it DAILY if I need it to last the whole working time which is 8 hours as usual. I seriously hope my boss let's me switch to another phone with better battery life.

                      One improvement can be noticed in the phonebook. Earlier clicking on a contact name immediately initiated a call on the default number. Now clicking on a contact name brings up the complete details about the contact, allowing to choose from the multiple numbers listed.

                              Who told you to update to Developer's Preview? Its just for developers.

                              Wait till August for official version for public..

                                  I haven't had any stability or performance issues since updating my Lumia 1520, and wife's 620 to Wp8.1Prv. Battery life seems to be great since then, and with this update I am not sure there is much difference.
