Ok I've seen threads about this subject but my search didn't pull anything good up.Didn't want to start a new thread yet so posted here. . Looking at the specs is most deceiving. Which phone currently out there has the best battery life? . My wife has the typical trouble that is similar to some.

Battery life sucks

Gps not working all the time

Dropping 3g/4g signal

Apps freezing

Email problems

Cant remember all of them at the moment. She has been on a couple of different Roms. She is currently stock but has apps freezing etc.. This is another replacement. We have tried almost everything that we can think from the posts here but with the travel she does its not working. So what of the current phones out there other than the Charge. Weird how the Droid 4 retail is cheaper than alot, even the Charge. Trade in for my phone is $50. Is that a joke or something?
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
I did quite alot of research on new phones and nothing is the best, however, the 2 that I would buy if it's me is the Motorola Raz Maxx, this has a very high rating from consumers. It's the best and only one out there right now that have a high capacity batter which last over 20 hrs. If you are a flashoholic type then you wouldn't like it because of the locked bootloader(all Moto phones have locked bootloader), the second best would be Lg Spectrum, this one is exellent on everything except for the battery is just an average one. Do some research on the two and see if you like them. I would pick the Raz Maxx if it's me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
If I didn't care about customizing the **** out of my phone, then Motorola phones would be the first phone I would reach for. Especially the RAZR MAXX, it has great battery life without having a bulky phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Yeah just got off with a rep and he suggested the Maxx or Nexus. While he wouldnt come right out and say it the charge does have problems. Supposed another fix lol coming for Gps. He said the typical its a Samsung problem. I said never again Samsung and he said his Nexus is different. Also like we agreed though the Motorola works great for Gps. Sad but the wife might be getting a Razr Maxx for valentines.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Motorolas typically have the best hardware and build quality (besides the screen in some of the Fall 2011 phones) but they are locked down so i guess people don't like them. The Charge is my first Android and my next is definitely going to be Motorola. That being said, it is undeniable that the Maxx has the best battery life out of any Verizon Android phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Gonna go look at it this weekend. Just went through my credit cards for the best promotional offers. May have 2 charges with several extras for sale. Gonna start reading up for pitfalls. I dont mind rooting mine and having it down for hours but she needs hers.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Heres when I question though. Is the battery worth the price of full retail? 4G is the future. She needs a phone but does it need to be 4G at this point. Alot of the map is still in 3G. She liked her DX2 and said the GPS was great. She got the Charge because she liked the screen on mine. Im thinking use the DX2 until 4G is expanded more and by then phones will have advanced. Not sure if Im talking myself into or out at this point. As with everything I read to much and for all the positive in the phone I see just as much negative. In the end I will hear it either way. LOL

So do I want a new phone too and hear it or use the old phone and hear it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
"and my next is definitely going to be Motorola". It's so funny, I read one of the post that one guy so pisoff at his Motorola phone and threw it on the ground, broke into many pieces, and swear that he never buy a Moto phone again and here you are swear that all you want is Moto phone. Anyway the price of the battery is not justify for a retail phone. But I highly suggest that if you buy a 4G phone like the Moto Raz Maxx, it will last you at least 5 years. Sure there will more stuff coming out but this phone will not be outdated for a while since it build for ICS and dual core and 4g and HD screen.(all the major components). My kid has a LG Ally and she stills using it. Its running hacked captive android 2.36 O/S(same O/S with the Charge). It's small enough to fit her hand and she stills love it. I offered a new phone, but she said the screen is too big, she rather keep the old one.(I'm kind of glad, save some money for my own upgrade..heehe).
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
5 years for a phone. We hardly reach 2 years lol. Typical fools who like the new stuff. We use it as a write off for her work. One thing I do question also is since you cant change the battery what is the reliability. What if the battery starts to have a problem?

Ok update. She just got off the airplane. Phone is dying, GPS isnt working. Pissed off again. Gonna sell the charge with extras to help cover some of the cost. I like not having the physical keys at the bottom of the phone as I have had problems with my phone before. If I keep reading Ill go crazy. We also get 20% off.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
See if you can get an original Razr secondhand. I hear they have a mod to put the Maxx battery and back cover in it. The two phones are literally identical - including the software - except for the battery.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
I must've lucked out and got a good phone then... the extended battery easily let's me go a full day without charging, GPS lock is instant and accurate, and *gasp* radios are actually rock solid!!! no data drop just seamless 3G/4G transitioning, camera is excellent, screen is gorgeous and size and weight are perfect... I guess it sort of makes up for my issues on the Charge lol, but yeah as mentioned I would recommend Razr/Maxx or Nexus :cool:

Ah....a charge will be for sale on ebay. Good for you. The razr is a nice phone!

[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Anyone recommend a ultra book? Several brands out there but maybe looking for a bigger ssd drive than 128.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Anything past around 128gb is kind of prohibitively expensive. I would recommend a Seagate Momentus XT hard drive-its a laptop hard drive with an onboard 8GB SSD. It learns the most accessed data (your OS and a few programs, like Google Chrome) and stores that data on the SSD and had everything else on the HD. It's certainly not quite a full blown SSD, but it'll breathe some life into an aging laptop. Plus it's much cheaper per gb than an SSD.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/...=20E990072AB74EA5EA87218BF129CC11&action=init

I don't know if these are technically "ultrabooks" but they are very thin and still have some nice speed. The SSD version is 160gb standard, I think you can upgrade to 320.

http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/...=2CA04E9CB72741BA7B58B93D594F699C&action=init

I think this one is thinner and lighter, but it does have a non-removable battery. It is another good choice.

In my opinion these guys make the best laptops hands down. On the two I have owned, the build quality is uncompromised. These things are durable and have desktop-esque keyboards (if you dont like that chiclet stuff coming out). My first thinkpad lasted me about 7 years, and I bought my second one last year.

They are coming out with something they are calling an "ultrabook," but you will have to wait until Q2 or Q3 for that beast.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
Yeah the Lenovo looks nice. Wife needs(actually wants lol) a new computer. She travels so much and is trying to carry lighter and less. Already has an external just for work she needs. Dont remember all the details but need to research was a hard drive you connect to your router and she can back up stuff while on the road so the smaller hard drive would work.

[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Yesterday, for poops and grins, I tried V6 again...it's worse than ever for me. When I first installed it, I noticed no difference at all. Within a few hours, the phone was unusable...apps freezing, etc. Went back to the nandroid I made just before I pulled the trigger and it's running fine again. There is definitely something about that script that doesn't play nice with this phone. I'm suspecting the kernel tweaks, but I can't prove it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] WildH:
You can't handle the truth!
[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:
Im using update9. Beta6.22 I have only used the megaram option 9 I think. I went back to using v6 because I had issues where on the dirty PBJ I was lagging big time. Long story short, found the culprit in power amp. Apparently, having power amp pro installed in multiple devices screwed with my phone. I uninstalled it and everything is golden. I went back to 0130 PBJ before I uninstalled power amp, so I guess there's more testing to be done.
