Do you know how many hours is battery life??
We have moved to a new Sailfish OS Forum. Please start new discussions there.
48 hours is really the upper limit, with Aliendalvik switched off, no web browsing, no music, no camera, few phone calls. In other words: unsmart phone usage.
objectifnul ( 2014-12-05 01:02:55 +0200 )edit@objectifnul no, sometimes I have mine running for 3-4 days without plugging in. Of course not under heavy usage, but with Aliendalvik, messaging, email, browsing, phone calls.

My Jolla - using quite often for browsing and messaging - lasts roughly 1,5 days.

About a day i'd say. Depends on what you do, the apps you use, etc.. but longer than android devices with same or about the same amount of mAh.
As already said, it depends on your usage. You can get more info about your device's lifetime by installing a "Hunger Meter" app from Jolla store. Also you may check this page for some additional Jolla-specific power consumption details.
For me, alien dalvik and data connection always on, would say midrange usage of display and some browser using 1,5 up to 2 days.
But don´t forget the quality of network connection. In rural areas, mountains or if you are driving in car or train, your phone is always searching for connection and causes higher power consumption.
Since I´ve removed the SIMcard from my old android phone and use it only 2 or 3 times a week, the battery lives 3 weeks with WLAN always on ;)
Erratic is the best way to describe it. Connectivity (particularly mobile data and reacquiring lost network) and apps getting stuck in high usage states are major problems and tend to crush battery life to unacceptable levels when they occur. If you have train (or car) journeys, are roaming, or are in an area with poor reception, you can absolutely expect to have to charge the phone 3x a day, and this not with heavy usage. If you're mainly using wifi, avoid the native browser and use Android Firefox and completely ignore the phone / put it in flight mode when it's freaking out due to poor reception, you can get through a day without issue. The problem is, you're unlikely to get through a day without issue if you are fairly mobile and an active user. If battery life is important to you, you need to take a mobile recharging pack with you with this phone (I do). Supposedly there will be a lot of fixes to connectivity in updates 10 and 11; I'll remain sceptical until they land and actually fix things.
Typically, I'd say endurance is 1/3rd of my Sony Z3 Compact. Maybe 1/10th in poor reception areas, or 1/5th for heavy usage of mobile data.
10 hours 15 minutes without pushing it, so not enough.
A bit longer than BlackBerry Z10, but there's the Battery Charger Bundle for the Z10, so you can actually do better than with many other phones, although it feels kludgy to swap the battery every day (still rules over integrated). Also, if you forget to charge your phone, most of the times the spare will be ready (and then you recharge later the other one for the evening without wallhugging your phone).
If you remember to reboot immediately after using hotspot early, you can add about 45 minutes of Firefox on cellular (not media heavy).
However, you can play an entire normal album offline with Deezer without screen and in flight mode with the battery at 8%.
It depends on your usage. It is generally better than on Android-devices.
It is? So Android users can not get pass one day? I owned an Android, but very limited one which I did not use in same way as Jolla. But battery did last up to 4-5 days.

I guess everybody is assuming we are talking about the Jolla Phone 1
