Had my Razr Maxx for two days and was wondering if this was good battery life.

Battery is at 70 per Battery Indicator Pro.

16 hours on battery - took off charger when I got up at 4:30 am.

Cell stand by 29% - time on 16 hours - no signal 20%.

Display 18% - 1 hr 50 mins.

Voice Calls 15% - 19 mins.

Android OS 13% - 30 mins.

Phone Idle 7% - 15 hrs.

Android System 6% - 11 mins.

Bluetooth was on 11.5 hrs.

Am running Galaxy Live Wallpaper.

Used Fresh Network when I got to work at 6 am.

CDMA only.

No GPS.

Had sim card removed while playing with another phone for an hour.

Had WiFi on for an hour.

Have a Smart Action to disable cellular data setup.

Am also syncing two gmail accounts.

If you're at 70% with 16 hours that should tell you its good.

I got this with a reg razr
[Motorola Droid RAZR] overclockxp:
I don't believe it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jamalleelee:
That's insanely good. I'm such a heavy user my battery barely makes it through the day.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ari-nj:
I got my Razr MAXX yesterday, fully charged it overnight. Woke up at 6am, battery was at 100%. It's 3:00pm now, and the battery is at 50%. Been using the phone quite a bit today, but don't think this is what I paid $300 for! Plaese tell me if I'm wrong...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lilross88:
Battery break in

The reason you are having less than expected battery life is because the battery isn't conditioned yet. Best way to do it is to charge it to 100% before using the first time. Then you discharge it as much as possible by using the flashlight all the time, turn on Bluetooth and GPS, wifi, etc. Then completely charge it. Do this for about a week and your battery life should get quite a bit better. Had to do it with both my stock battery and extended one for my Epic 4G Touch. Made all the difference in the world. The batteries do not come pre-conditioned from the manufacturer. Your mileage may vary though...

-Lil'Ross88-
[Motorola Droid RAZR] LaLongeCarabine:
Actually don't do the above it doesn't help and if you do it too much you will hurt the battery. Also new Li-Ion batteries are conditioned when you get them. Keep it charged, keep the phone cool never hot, and never let the battery stay completely discharged.

Sent my new Droid Razr Maxx
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lilross88:
If that is the case with Li-Ion batteries, then why did the manufacture say to do that as part of the conditioning process? Not meaning to be rude about it but conditioning a battery, Li-Ion or not, Is good for people that use the hell out of their phones. Same goes with car batteries. I aint saying to do it all the time with a cell phone but the first week aint going to mess it up. It is actually better on Li-Ion batteries to do complete cycles than partial. Do your research for yourself and see.

Also, my co-worker had an E4GT, with an extended battery like mine. I did the conditioning process that I described and that was recommended by the battery's MFG. My battery lasted almost TWO days. His would last about 18 hours off the charger. Proof is in the pudding.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] POQbum:
Guys.. keep using your phone and let it cycle through normal charges for about a week. You should have better battery life. Android takes a while to learn where to stop your battery, and it often will undercharge it during the first few cycles.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jaytronics:
I have two Traxxas R/C trucks. And they use Lithium Ion batteries. It is known that you never let them heat up excessively. Reason is heat will kill the life expectancy of lithium in a heart beat. Most of the time cutting its charge capacity in half. The same goes for letting it die. If the battery does not have a protection circuit built into the battery or on the phone it self and the battery drops below 3.2 volts per cell. Then the life will be cut. Lithium is a very touchy chemistry. In all of its current forms it needs to be handled and maintained properly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] flashman2002:
Those are lipo (lithium polymer). They are more susceptible to voltage issues and dropping below their charge threshold.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ari-nj:
I downloaded juice defender today... Been off the charger since about 5am and it's now 8:15pm. I have over 40% battery left! I also just got my verizon navigation dashboard mount, had the phone plugged in for a little while, but overall I think that if I keep this up, I should be in pretty good shape.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nrvous1:
No problems here. Been off the charger since 6:15 CST and many calls, browsing, about 200 txt messages, YouTube vids and streaming Pandora I'm still at 57%.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bzxzlg:
EVO -vs- MAXX

Comi from an HTC Evo ... Let just say the MAXX if off charge from 0430 until bedtime ar 2100 ... lowest the battery has gotten - with moderate use through the day is 40%! Had this been my Evo, I'd have charged the phone twice during the day.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] POQbum:
did you flash the maxx to Sprint or what?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jordant2:
Had the Maxx for a week now and I love it! Been off the charger for 15 hrs with over 2 hrs screen on and 2 hrs 20 min talk time, light browsing, and a little ebay app, still have 46%. I had a rezound with the extended battery and I got similar battery life. Seems like it's doing better every day.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nrvous1:
I purposely left my maxx off the charger last night. This morning at 6:15 it was at 17% battery life left. This is way better than my dinc with the extended 2150 battery. I would have already charged it a couple times with the same amount of usage.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] milkshed27:
Sorry, not to be a jerk but all the information in your posts is completely inaccurate. Each battery type differs so you cannot generalize and compare it to a car battery. Nowhere has it ever been said by any cellular phone manufacturer that the battery requires any conditioning. In fact, continuously discharging the battery completely, shortens its life span.

Lithium-ion batteries actually prefer partial charge/discharges not complete discharges as this damages the battery as I stated above. Also, you should never run the LED light for long periods of time as that can cause damage to the LED and possibly the phone. Any improvement you may perceive from your practices IS likely due to the fact that the meter may have required a few charge cycles to become more accurate. However, complete charge cycles do not require the battery to be completely discharged.

Again this is not meant to offend you but I feel it's important to not give inaccurate info as incorrect information can potentially cause damage to someones phone in the long term.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] sRDennyCrane:
While I did see a nominal increase in battery life with Juice Defender, what drove me nuts was the time it took data to "wake up" after unlocking the phone. Eventually, I turned Juice Defender off.

And, like others, the first few days with my Maxx had 2 instances where I awoke to a dead battery. Now, 2 weeks later, charging and discharging is slow and predictable. About 2.5 hours from 5% to fully charged and a couple days of use between charges. No issues to speak of.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottjb:
Sorry if this is a basic question, I just got a Razr Maxx (had other HTC devices). To those reporting battery percentages not in 10% increments, how are you getting those? Are you using custom ROMs? The stock ROM appears to report in 10% increments only. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] milkshed27:
I don't bother with juice defender, for my use I find it to be more of a hindrance than anything else. At the moment I use Tasker and an app called DataSwitch by TomatoX. I have DataSwitch on my homescreen and whenever I need data I just turn it on.

The thing with me is that I don't always need data on just because I've turned on the screen. Maybe, I want to take a picture or send a text which wouldn't require data. In fact imo mobile data switching on/off continuously every time the display is on/off drains more battery than just keeping the phone on 3G.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] POQbum:
I would just leave 4G off and 3G on. At least where I'm at, 3G is good for streaming online radio, pandora, simple web surfing and anything else except HD video playback and maybe tethering.

I have a widget I just flip on whenever I need 4G and it takes about 2-8 seconds to turn on/off

I can't remember if it was a specific flash or if it came with the Eclipse ROM.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] milkshed27:
There is an app off the market called Battery Circle that will give you 1% increments at the top left side of your notification bar. Keep in mind however that applications that give you battery percentages in 1% increments will drain more battery because it constantly has to poll and wake up to change the battery level.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nrvous1:
I'm using an old app I paid $.99 for back when I first got my dinc called battery indicator pro. I know there are free apps out there that do the same thing, but I'm not sure why I paid for this app.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottjb:
Thanks for the responses about the battery indicators.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nrvous1:
This is a basic question, but my maxx does not get that low on battery throughout the day. The lowest it was yesterday was at 52% by 11:00pm. Will charging my phone overnight at that high of a percentage do any damage or lessen the life of the battery?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scottjb:
Should not be any problem. Android (and the battery) will stop the charge when it is full to protect the battery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
This morning my Razr Maxx was at 40% with 4 hours and 33 minutes of screen on time. I think the Maxx is a great phone for wireless radio and good battery life. I don't think it's as good as advertised on the TV commercial but it will definitely last all day. It will last me from the time I wake up in the morning to the time I go to sleep at night with heavy usage, I'm good with that :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] POQbum:
Yep that's all I need too :D

The radio on this is so much better than my old dINC, I have signal in places where it dropped on my dINC. Good stuff
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Thank Me Later:
Motorola is known for making good wireless radios on their phones. And being on Verizon Wireless that just helps it even more. I get signal in a lot of places I didn't when I use to be on at&t or Sprint.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cc217:
I just got my Razr Maxx last Friday and my battery life has been pretty good. I tend to listen to Pandora at work for a few hours and that drains it the most. I've managed to get the battery down to around 10% by the end of the day though. When I'm not using it for much more than calling, texting or a quick web search, it seems like it hardly does anything to the battery.

A related question that maybe someone can answer, though. I have a usb plug from my HTC Hero that I tried to use as the plug for my Maxx, but it didn't seem to charge it past 70% after the whole night of charging. After changing it to the included adapter it went up from there, but I don't understand why it wouldn't charge higher with the HTC adapter. Can someone explain?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 59eagle:
Maxx battery life

So yesterday I turned my maxx (using the pre-installed power widget) to automatic screen brightness, no wifi, no gps, and no autosync. And I got about 13 hours from the battery before it popped a notification and the battery turned red. I did play like angry birds for about 30-40 mins, and used the 4G for about an hour. Is this normal?

EDIT: and what does the "Display power saver" in the brightness setting actually do? I don't really notice a difference; I can see that the screen slightly dims...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nrvous1:
I didn't want to start a new thread, but my wife's maxx has this icon (see pic) in the notification bar which looks like a battery? Anyone have an idea of what it is?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stkiswr:
My battery life is fantastic. I am 100% satisfied with my maxx. It is rooted and I froze many apps. But its better than I expected. Very happy w my decision and do not regret it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stkiswr:
I just read though all the posts...has anyone ever owned an extended battery lol. Just to clear up any confusion...

Look, the maxx is a smartphone w a large battery. It lasts longer than any other android phone ever made. Period.

You paid $300 for a very nice phone w an extended battery.

You cant get another phone on the planet running android that's under 9mm thick and has this kinda battery life.

I run my phone rooted. Froze 35 apps. Leave data on all the time. No 4g here so I leave it in cdma. Use wifi only when I am at the house. GPS sync etc stay on all the time. I use no task managers. I leave auto brightness on. I did enable screen power save or whatever its called in display setting. No smart actions. I shut wifi off when I leave for work.

The razr maxx is the truth. It does everything and more that any dual core smart phone rocking a name brand, well made extended battery can/should do. 4 to 5 hour screen on time on 3g s what I think the avg should be. Obviously I may not use what some here use but I hammer my phone when Im able to. It hasn't let me down and the battery has gotten better after a few days of use.

Don't listen to everyone and freak out about conditioning. Use the phone as a normal phone and what ever your usage is, charge it when you go to bed, wake up ad use it. Repeat cycle until it quits or you renew you contract. The battery will charge. The battery will learn so to speak, but a charge is a charge.

If you are getting similar results look at your apps. Download better battery stats (Google it on xda) and look at partial wake locks. It will help you narrow down issues. 99.9v% of issues will be caused by the end user ad not the device going rouge, developing a mind of its own and eating your T-shirt.

Good luck
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Touch-ee:
I have had my Maxx for over a month now, just in the last week it seems like the battery is not lasting as long. When I get home at night I'm down to 15% and the indicator turns red. The first 3 weeks this never happened, I would be 40 or 50% when I got home.

Of course going a full day is still amazing but not sure why it has gotten a lot worse in just a month. I know it could be some app I might have downloaded but I don’t know what it would be. I am using it for all the same stuff in all the same ways as day 1.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] skategeezer:
I worked 9 hours today and still had 70% left work and listened to flac files some YouTube on the ride home and am at 60% now. Epic........
[Motorola Droid RAZR] countryfolk07:
That is an alarm that has been set.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kevintstephens:
Were you asking what the little check mark symbol is next to the battery? It means you have an alarm set.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nrvous1:
Yeah that was it. I was trying to recreate it on my phone so we could remove it off of hers, but I wasn't having any luck.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Killer Turtle:
What i get on a regular basis...

These screenshots are of my battery today. I consistently get these times with my phone. I usually play "Life Is Crime" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" for at least a couple hours during the day, and I'm on Google Currents, and XDA for a few hours each day. I also usually have Bluetooth on and connected to my Inpulse smartwatch all day as well.

EDIT: Sorry wrong thread thought this was the Non-Maxx battery thread.

Is there a one click method on rooting HTC Dream G1 first one running 1.1?

Thanks.

Will z4root work or superoneclick and which versions as 1.1 is oldskool
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankdrey:
Errmmm...

It'd be a LOT better if you flashed one of the newer custom ROMs, such as froyobylaszlo (2.2) which is awesome

1.1 is old, has no newer apps available for it, and is...old :D

Heres a basic outline of what you need to do

It will wipe all data though

Root and install CM6, actually you can stop right after DangerSPL before flashing CM6, and be very careful and follow directions very closely: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Dream:_Rooting

Install 2708+ kernel radio/spl: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139

Install froyobylaszlo: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=929678

Make sure you follow all directions carefully though

If you'd rather stay on the old horrible 1.1 here: ...wait you can't :P

You'd need to do the above and just go with a newer custom ROM, or you might be able to do it on an official later firmware, but that's pointless

Same here. Waiting for vzm to ship my maxx. I ordered on 3/07/12 and my order is still "pending shipment". :'(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daddymikey1975:
I ordered both of mine in a retail store on 3/1 and they are still pending.. I cancelled those, called up radio shack wireless (online) and it all went through. mine will ship tomorrow and I should have it in my hands by 3/12..(possibly saturday, but who knows at this point)

good luck :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nrvous1:
What the hell is holding up the orders? I'm going to call tomorrow afternoon and hopefully i'll get a tracking number at least.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] overclockxp:
What's holding up all the orders is all of us who depleted the stock back during the BOGO free sale. Not only did I get BOGO free I got $50 off the one phone I paid for as well. So I got 2 Maxxes, Maxxi? for $250!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daddymikey1975:
I originally paid for 2 of them at a local vzw store so I could port from sprint... I paid for them AND a bionic (for my son) on 3/1.. I was told I would have both Maxxs on 3/3... they didn't show. The store manager told me that it was 'virtual inventory' and that I'd have to wait until 3/12 for them to ship... Then I noticed that ship dates were pushed back to 3/16.. Got sick of the delays...

After reading a thread here about a member that received a maxx from amazon in 2 days, I began shopping around.. Amazon has their own inventory (not virtual or back ordered) and can guarantee 2 day shipping if you purchase one. They also offer the phone for less than the $299.

Radio Shack wireless (online) also has real "i can touch the phone" inventory and guarantees next business day shipping if your order is received before 7pm. Also, for a new line or new contract, they sell it for $229.. for an upgrade it's $279.. and for me there was NO sales tax and no charge for shipping.. win-win in this scenario. I've been waiting over a week and been frustrated to beat hell because I can't get accurate estimates of anything from big red.. Radio Shack aims to please... My phoneS will ship today and there is a slight possibility that I'll get them via FedEx tomorrow and at the very latest on Monday.. Win Win situation for me..

Took me 2 hrs though to get my 'pending' order cancelled through customer service so I didn't have a bunch of money tied up in places I could not access it.

If this helps, remember the 'thanks' button :)

In case you were wondering...... I hate you... :D

Ordered a MAXX at a retail store on 3/3 and was told it would be delivered on the 6th or 7th.

Learned from the manager on the 7th that I was lied to, that the actual ship date was "sometime before 3/13". And that the sales person added things to my account I did not ask for. Still contemplating course of action in response to that.

Got the "shipped" email yesterday. FedUp says it will be delivered Monday (3/12).

That was probably me. I ordered a Razr Maxx from Verizon Customer Service on 3-1 for $299.

After 2 days of dealing with incompetent Verizon reps who continually assured me the phone was in stock and would ship any minute a supervisor finally told me on 3-3 that it was in fact backordered.

I requested the order be canceled and my upgrade date be reset.

Ordered a Razr Maxx from Amazon Wireless on 3-3 for $229 - it was delivered on 3-6.
