[HTC Droid DNA] eakeller:
I was pretty surprised about the JB as well; I think Moto is trying to make up for the bad mojo created early in the life of that device. Back in the day I went through a couple of them and agonized over terrible radios, poor battery life, a year before an official ICS was released, bad camera, etc...you know the drill. I couldn't handle it and jumped ship for a GNex (at the time).

Regarding not upgrading, I highly recommend sticking with the used market and leaving the contract alone or going month-to-month. Especially since VZW pushed the upgrade cycle from 18mo. to 24mo., even the economics of upgrading don't make a whole lot of sense to me. Of course I'm grandfathered in to unlimited data so they can pry that out of my cold, dead hands. The secondary market really isn't bad, and it's especially safe on eBay. Generally you can catch a price break on CL, but there are a lot of shady characters pushing some bad deals - if you know what to look out for though, it can be navigated.

Good luck with your choice, and with whatever device you choose next. :cool:

Motorola X Phone may be a good choice :)

If it ever comes... and will it end up being the next Bionic? Remember, that was supposed to come out in Feb 2011, but was delayed until Sept. Then the RAZR showed up just before Christmas!
[HTC Droid DNA] eakeller:
True. Then again what real staying power does any king of the hill have? Only until the next younger, stronger, smarter, faster, better looking, more nimble, blah, blah, blah....shows up. In all seriousness, I am really impressed with the way the Bionic hardware and build can still almost keep up with the current pack. Says a lot about Moto, at least Moto ca. 2010.
[HTC Droid DNA] dnlwthrn:
Very good point. So my real question, and reason for posting in this thread, is to find out if the DNA might be the next phone to do the same... Although I have my concerns about the fixed internal battery and lack of microSD.
[HTC Droid DNA] pgreeny69:
I had a RMHD bought through Bestbuy. I loved the build and feel of it, the battery was amazing , but the thing that pushed me away was the horrible lag and screen redraws. It drove me crazy. Now having had a Note 2 which for me was too large, I decided to switch to the DNA last Saturday and am pretty happy so far. Size and speed are great , battery is decent (nowhere near RMHD or N2) but fine for my usage. Bought the wireless charger and like it also. That's just my experience. Had the RMHD not lagged so much I would have gone with it .
[HTC Droid DNA] eakeller:
Think about what makes the Bionic have staying power - per my personal evaluation it's mainly due to the processor speed and the build quality of the handset itself. If we extrapolate these criteria to the DNA, we definitely have an advanced processor and a very solid build. Extra bonuses are the 2GB memory, the stellar display, and a great camera.

Pair this against the Maxx HD: The dual-core processor is aging, and the 1GB of RAM definitely rears its head when creating lag, etc. Both of these limitations are going to create more and more "problems" as the OS advances during the near future. The display is sub-par (personal opinion), and really the only thing going for it is the long battery life. The RAZR line simply feels like a Moto stopgap measure until they can launch whatever they have planned for Q3-4 of 2013. I agree the lack of microSD and the fixed battery on the DNA are both a PITA. Personally I've changed my workflow to accommodate both, and at this point they're almost moot...or at least shortcomings I've come to terms with.

All that being said, I picked up a RAZR HD to use while I send off my DNA to be JTAGged. If you are interested in it when I get my DNA back, I'll sell it to you for cheap! ;)

====ETA=====

After a few hours with the RAZR HD, I can't WAIT to get my DNA back. Just thought I'd share.....nothing wrong with the razr, it's just that I'm currently in love with the DNA.
[HTC Droid DNA] cowisland:
I really wanted to get a RAZR HD, but was put off by consistently low frame rates and lag, which to me appeared worse than on ThunderBolt running AOSP ICS. Could not get over that and went for the DNA.
[HTC Droid DNA] XSWG:
My mom has the Razr Max HD and I hated it since I set up her entire phone for her but I love my DNA.

For perspective though I've always been HTC biased

Checking it now!
[Motorola Droid 4] alex94kumar:
I haven't seen one of these threads yet, and I think it will benefit users of our D4 forum.

If you have any tips/tricks, feel free to add them here.

My first tip:

TURN OFF 4G AT ANY TIME POSSIBLE.

4g is a battery vacuum.
[Motorola Droid 4] tcrews:
Here's the biggest....Widgets and Social Networks.

Watch your widgets (weather, news, facebook, etc..) that update/refresh. Most will allow you to adjust the refresh time. Set it high or to manual refresh.

Social Networks.....set them to refresh only. You don't need them refreshing their data in the background, just have them pull the latest down when you are actually using them (Facebook, Twitter, Google +, etc..). Set to manual refresh so that they only refresh when you are using the app. You don't need the latest status messages your friends are posting hitting your phone when it's in your pocket.

WiFi and. 3G/4G.....if you are in a location that makes your phone drop/search for signal and WiFi is available....use WiFi. The constant searching/seeking and establishing a 3G/4G network connection will kill your battery faster than having a constant 4G connection. This leaves the cellular band free for calls and all your apps that sync/pull data from the internet can happily run over the WiFi connection instead of killing your battery.
[Motorola Droid 4] Zero5295:
Suggested Apps

I second this, keep your widgest, number of home screens, and social networking apps down. Phones haven't reached the point of being able to be computers quite yet. Here are some apps to keep it snappy though:

Fast Reboot (by Great Bytes Software)- same as a battery pull without having to. Clears up a lot of RAM.

Lte On/Off - with this, you can switch to 3G (CDMA) only, and have it set to automatically default to that setting in the case of you switching to airplane mode for some reason. But it does reset the app if you turn of your phone. Fast Reboot doesn't clash with this app.

App Cache Cleaner - clears out a lot of the cache you otherwise would have to go to Manage Applications to clean out.

That's all I can think of at the moment for non-rooted users. I won't go into rooted b/c this is not the right place. But here are a few battery saving settings:

GPS - have only the Google one on, it's the fastest in my experience.

Display - have it set to the lowest setting when at all possible. Only lowers color distortion in my experience.

Developer optionss - go in here and turn on the force GPU settings. This may not be the case with everyone, but it gives my phone a little more zip and makes things smoother.

Apps (this is the very bottom of the developer settings) - Adjust these to your liking. Perhaps try setting the max number of backgrounded processes to 4.
[Motorola Droid 4] niko99:
I wonder how it looks on you ...

on my droid 4 and with Jelly Bean i lost ~5,5% battery by hour no matter what i do even on airplane mode.. still aroud 5% by 1h

please can you advice how its look from your side ?
[Motorola Droid 4] zeroktal:
I had the same thing with my Droid 4. I finally sbf'd it, and reinstalled everything one at a time. This fixed it.
[Motorola Droid 4] niko99:
i try SBF many time, formats, pull out sd card no matter what i do.. still lost 5,5 % battery by hour.. so max my battery keep 16-18h

(its there any possibility to move back to ICS :( ? )
[Motorola Droid 4] fathermocker:
Is there any way for the Droid to use only 2G networks? 3G/4G while idle seems to be the biggest battery drainer.
[Motorola Droid 4] Jahoovi:
you just turn off your network data and you will still be able to run 2g
[Motorola Droid 4] fathermocker:
What I meant was if it was possible to just use 2G for Internet connections, instead of 2G+3G+4G.
[Motorola Droid 4] MiLoS R2D2:
a battery calibration after rooting device should help.. what it does is delete the fake information from the old/stock ROM and cleans up your battery to new life... better explained here... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration... :cool:
[Motorola Droid 4] karlsdroids:
I have not found that to be the case at all. The battery tools make that claim but it has not helped my battery life (stock or rooted) on any of my multiple droid 4 or d2g
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Same here. In a couple cases its just made it worse. I will be trying out the extended battery in a couple weeks though. Hopefully it'll let me go at least a day without charging.
[Motorola Droid 4] Wotta:
Making it better

The Droid 4 firmware just isn't very battery friendly... and it's not a new phone so your battery probably isn't either. Two things to consider.

LiIon batteries lose capacity over both cycles (cycling losses) and time (calendar losses.) If your battery is 18 months old and was charged nightly, you've lost 25% or more of the life anyhow... much more if the phone was kept plugged in after the charge and ran warm. And the drop accelerates with more cycles. It may be time to change the battery.

Adding JuiceDefender ( I use Ultimate) triples my battery life even in basic mode.

Replacing the battery is really simple; buy one from Amazon, open the back, carefully pry out the old one (it's held down by a double-sided tape), unscrew the connector (very small Torx, but jewelers screwdrivers work), swap and reassemble. $30 later (and a few hours to charge), you have your capacity back.
[Motorola Droid 4] MiLoS R2D2:
yeah after trying juice defender for about a month or so i noticed my phones battery life extend much more. so i opted to buy the ultimate juice defender and sure enuff more battery life... i am very pleased with this app. however if in the future i do want to extend the battery a lil more, then i will purchase a brand new battery and then replace the old one...
[Motorola Droid 4] bwalz:
Turning off auto sync, turning off WiFi while on 4G works. Also make sure there's not any apps running in the background. Being root, there's apps you can download to close any open app
[Motorola Droid 4] swo0sh:
just go into your settings of your networking section:

settings-wireless&networks-mobilenetworks-networkmode

and choose ur favourite mode!

gsm=2g

wcdma=3g

lte=4g

---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------

with CM it is an easy to safe much energy! and if you really want to do this on a right way, you really need to own a rooted system....

1. underclocked my cpu for 200mhz, dont have to comment.... if you use lightweight lounchers and care for background apps, it will noprob

2. use only 2g-networks, those are more available than every other networks, and even tcp/ip works with it, for whatsapp etc it is way enough bandwitch

very important!!!!

3. check your internal recievers after installing an app!! with "autorun manager" on a rooted device you can uncheck every function from every app, even autostart of an already killed facebook app, or statistical functions from apps which comes with most of them

4. get your brightness automated, if it is dark, you can automatically safe energy by a automatically regulation

5. maybe you would prefer to deactivate vibrations/haptic feedback/call vibration completely, its very energy consumpting.....

6. deactivate the gps-reciever complete, and just turn it on if you need it

7. set your display timeout as less than possible for your behaviour, 15 seconds may be enough

8. know what runs in background, evrything in background, sucks energy.....

9. deactivate nfc

10. deactivate bluetooth

with this i get a standby about ~1-3 days! and if im phoning and writing to much maybe not fully to one day. if i watch now on my energy tables, my display is consumpting still 40-60% battery per charge, but i dont think that even more safings would be possible :)

and with the app "tasker" you can even script this in endless environments ;)
[Motorola Droid 4] manderson1301:
How does JuiceDefender save the battery? I have used many battery saver apps (including Juicedefender) and I always find that they run in the background and kill the apps which I would close anyway. Does it do anything besides kill background apps? By now I've deleted most background apps and have only kept the apps I want (which are few) and I still find battery life subpar.

Also definitely keeping 3G/4G off is a huge help. Wouldn't be able to make it very far without turning those off
[Motorola Droid 4] JohnVo:
I use Autorun Manager pro to freeze Google Play Services. Funnily enough, Play Store and Google Maps still work like a charm yet Google Play Services don't run background :D

Edited: With stock rom, install SetCPU and change the governor to hotplug. Underclock max frequency down to 800 MHz. You won't notice much different for normal tasks like watching videos, sms,...That setting is enough for me to play FF4 on MyBoy :D but playing heavy graphic games might not be snappy tho.
[Motorola Droid 4] 71evin:
For me not using gaaps improve battery life. Every one knows for google play service that you cannot stop Instead I use calldav for my contacts.

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3rpmcherp:
So yesterday I tried flashing CM10.

I installed root, flashed boot loader, and installed cwm. I factory reseted, wiped cache partion and wiped dalvik cache.

After I loaded the cm10 zip, my phone restarted right after installing the zip so I entered cwm again and installed google apps.

The phone booted up into cm10 normally. I went through the setup and everything seemed fine, except wifi didn't seem to work.

Problem is that my phone restarts every 2 minutes, both in cwm, and cm10. I tried flashing the stock rom, but it still restarts every 2 minutes.

Also sometimes the phone boots to a completely black screen. The back button and menu button light up on this screen but don't do anything.

Any ideas on what to do?

EDIT: I installed catlog and noticed right before it crashes it says: Throttle Unable to find stats for iface rmnet0

EDIT 2: Flashing this firmware http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2176430 seemed to stop the rebooting. I'm going to try flashing cm10 again.

EDIT 3: So after flashing cm10 everything seemed fine. No problem now!

Most of what you want can be accomplished very, very easy. If you can root the phone. You would be able to Install avast antivirus. Avast has an anti-theft feature that you can activate from a phone AND/OR the internet. You can lock the phone so no one else can use it, send a text or command from a computer to TRACK THE DEVICE. It will automatically turn on GPS and send location as often as you choose. Avast works on smart phones only. That is the downside. Avast does the alarm thing also. "THIS PHONE HAS BEEN LOST OR STOLEN" with a siren.

Even better I could build an app for you to do that as avast won't be able to start 3g send message to carrier etc etc it'll need Internet access up and running before hand also no call records while a custom made app can do all of this

If you like the idea just drop me a pm

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fathertomany:
Honestly, what do you need 3G for? It doesn't help track. GPS and Wi-Fi do that. Watch your cost. Avast has already been written. Call logs? What for. Check out the play store for an app called M-SPY. You text the phone and it will call you back. Avast does the rest.

I want to track the phone while it is on the move on the motorcycle in real-time. How could I do that with Wi-Fi? Additionally, free and open unsecured Wi-Fi hotspots are not available everywhere. There is no guarantee that the phone would be able to connect and send data once it reached its final destination wherever the thieves live/work. In fact, even with 3G there is no guarantee as there are always cellular dead spots.

Thanks for the recommendations.
