@CF

Please follow this method of battery charging

1. First few cycles charge it fully till 100% and let it be on charging for a hour more.
2. Let it die down to the lowest something like 5% and below, then recharge it again
3. Keep the battery saving feature on, set it for 20% level

Hope your battery performs well with the above, ofcourse I use it bit moderate and see that all the things like wifi,data connection,bluetooth,location OFF when not required as I have installed a tile with those 4 important things and check them when I get a doubt

Setting battery saving feature on is fine. But I dint get the second part - what is this 20% level?

all the things like wifi,data connection,bluetooth,location OFF when not required as

I think this is the main differene. My data connection will be on 24/7 for IMs, Mails & at times for TAI

@CF,

That is in the battery app loaded. low battery threshold set to 20%.

See the battery app in below pic



See the "easy connect" app to monitor the wifi,BT,data connection quickly

In android, the 20% level would mean that if the power goes below 20% then, device would go for battery saving mode where screen on, data, wifi sound level etc would be reduced to save the last remaining juice.

Not sure what this means here though [thinking]

Initially even I thought the same!

Pics are good buddy, that screen with FIAT symbol is awesome, how did you do that

Some pics taken in daylight are required. No permissions buddy, I have already told you that this is thread run by both of us now

From the screen shot it looks like, its going to alert you if it goes below 20%, but I still feel there is much to do it, as just alerting does not solve the issue. It needs to do something to preserve the 20%. RK you might need to dig on manuals or windows mobile websites.
Also I recommend you to become a XDA member and go through WM8 and device specific forums.

The one shown on the screenshot is a external app installed by me, which does not show accurate till I refresh it. The one "battery saver" in built in the system show me accurate and also when it reaches to battery saver mode after 20% which keep telling me that battery is critical when the battery reaches to 9 to 10% continuously. So apart from these which are those alerts you have explained in your post, will it be helpful for me to join XDA as I am worried that it will become one more addiction for me apart from TAI

While it certainly will help, I must warn you their tolerance levels are not so patient as here. So use the search function there as answers to almost every question under the sun is available there. Good luck!

The battery saver mode if you on it in windows phone , shuts the push email services , notifications , and makes the screen less brighter till you charge it . There is nothing actually complicated here .. It happens exactly what you have posted above means same like android .

Read this
When you turn on Battery Saver, your phone automatically turns off some of the features on your phone that use battery in the background. So when Battery Saver is on, your phone will no longer:

Automatically receive emails or calendar updates – You can still sync your email manually whenever you want. To learn more, see Synchronising your email.
Update some Live Tiles – The technical explanation is that if a Tile uses something called push notification to get its updates, it'll stop receiving those updates in Battery Saver mode. But the upshot is that when Battery Saver is on, some of your Tiles won't be updated.
Allow apps to run in the background – You'll only be able to use an app if it's open.
You can still make and receive phone calls and text messages, and browse the Internet.

We've also put together some battery-saving tips to help you get started. The key is finding the balance between getting the most out of your phone while getting the battery life you need.

Just use the phone the way it is , when the battery goes down charge it . There is no magic here . Keep the battery saver mode on and it will try to preserve your battery as much as it can till you find a outlet to charge .

Had a chance to check windows nokia handset, 510 i guess at a friends place, pretty neat handset with the pricing its been offered, first time i loved the touch interface from nokia till now.
5mp camera was superb too with nice clarity at night shots as well and overall they do give good hardware quality no doubt with nokia's builts.
