It's normal Install advance task manager from market and let it auto kill tasks while screen's standby ....will increase your battery time.

WiFi will be off while standing by usually, and if using app like "timeout3g", and phone profile manager (I use Phone Weaver) to turn off phone while you are sleeping, you will find you can last your Venue for more than a day.

Hic, I wonder why you use Y5 the whole day
I use Smart Bar /Advanced Task Killers to kill unnessessary apps, Startup Manager to select only essential start apps. That helps.

Is there an app that turns the phone on at a certain time? Like say I turn it off at 1& time it to wake up at 7. Personally I think this would be a great way to improve battery life.

Correct me if im wrong, but for that to work an app or service would have to run in the background. If the phone is completely off, there wont be an app / service to trigger the phone to power on.
I think thats the whole point in the phone being off is to have nothing running at all to consume memory / cpu cycles.
Yeah, don't think Tasker is THAT advanced.

Stop using autokiller apps. If you want to kill apps, do it manually.
I've never had better battery life since the 2.1 upgrade. Here are some suggestions from my experience.
1. Get Juice Defender free from Market, do setup and change nothing.
2. Get Startup Auditor free. Disable face recognition, download manager, google talk service, mediascape update.
3. Get Advanced Task Killer and exclude ATK, Startup Auditor and Juice Defender. Kill everything else whenever you go to lock your phone after doing something.
4. Only use Wifi when you need to, otherwise turn it off, GPS as well.
5. A 3G toggle wouldn't hurt either.
6. Use a wall charger as indicated otherwise if from PC charge in airplane mode.
7. Put your screen brightness below 50%.
8. Widgets like weather apps on your homescreen suck up batt life.
If I get into the 70% range of battery after a day's use now it's rare.
Good luck!

Try going to SETTINGS, ABOUT PHONE, BATTERY USE.
You will be able to see what the top drains are, I do not use any special apps to limit battery use and get only 4 - 8% drain over night. Leave Bluetooth off and turn off display.
Just for the record, juice defender makes no difference to battery life on either of my x10i's since 2.1.
I just trimmed out junk apps and use a task killer to manually kill a few apps I don't often use.
Finally, make sure twitter, facebook, etc are not set to check automatically unless you wish them too. I only check stuff like that a few times a day, no need for them to check x times an hour.

hi...
@Lord Takyon,Tony_C,Smoked33,pabling19,xateeq, thanks for the reply will try out the steps mentioned..
i at first had poor battery life with the x10 2.1. that was actually when i used task panel x and juice defender on it... after a couple of days, though, i figured screw it and rooted the phone and uninstalled all useless apps on it. then i just went and uninstalled juice defender and task panel x. they actually caused battery drain on my phone lol. now i have no battery saving apps running on my phone and it lasts me at least 18 hours of medium usage.
my advice is let android do the battery saving. don't d/l battery saving apps since they run in the background and cause more battery drain.
Yeah - I've been through the whole juice defender, task killer, start up auditor things..... waste of time.. they do more harm than good..
You need to use something like Task Manager (by Rhythm Software) to see what's running - set any persistent tasks/ apps to ignore, and ONLY use it to kill apps which you think are stopping the phone from sleeping..randomly killing things will at best cause your battery to drain quicker (because the processor then has to restart them).. or at worst cause instability because critical tasks aren't running.
Set auto update frequencies to less frequent.. consider how often you view the app during the day and go along those lines.. don't put too many auto updating widgets on your homescreens..

Even did a factory reset and installed NOTHING but synicng my google mail, contacts and calander and after a few hours of sitting there i check the battery and it shows awake Allot. like it seems to wake up every few min, small little lines all over the graph. when the screen is off.
i have wifi off now, and my phone is not active (im on my X), set to CDMA and its still waking up. i have set all the settings that i can think of to off that would make it wake up....

please help this is the only thing making me want to leave the razr...
Thank you
Try enabling the battery extender profile in smart actions. It cuts background sync/GPS if the phone is not charging or in motion.

Only when the screen is off, when unlocked everything will turn back on and your emails will come through.
yeah, thats the thing though...i use gtalk allot...dont care about the emails but i use gtalk
I don't have the battery extender smart action on and I'm getting amazing standby time better than my nexus s with mostly the same apps. I'm thinking it must be an app that's causing you battery problems.

Try os monitor, its free in the market & can help you narrow down what's running. System Tuner has a free version as well & can help you see how your running processes/services are acting. The pro version even gives a start up monitor so you can freeze or prevent certain things from running at all.

Hi,
I was using facebook (3g) for about 5mins while listening to the radio on my galaxy s2 (i9100p), and obviously battery life drains during that time.
The weird this is that, once I've closed the facebook app, turned off 3g and screen, battery life continues to drop (about 6%h, usually about 1%h on stand-by) for a few hours. After a few hours, it goes back to normal.
is this normal?? Nothing is running, it doesn't even say the phone was awake (according to battery history details chart).
Note: I'm using battery widget monitor which displays the battery %
I apologize in advanced if this has been discussed already, but I couldn't find this topic anywhere.
Maybe Facebook app is still running on background as a service. After sometime, possibly Android kills it?
Make sure you sign out of the app and exit before disabling data.

Thanks for the reply.
I'll give that a try next time.
I hate how you have to go to the applications settings to force close everything, otherwise it will keep running in the background even if you close it from "Running" tab.
I got told all you have to do is hold the home button and slide it to remove running apps, but that just deletes the history.
I recently installed LS 4.0 on my Razr Maxx and noticed on my break at work i was at around 35% battery, then 2 hours later when i got off work i was at 3%, in that time i didnt have any apps open so the drain dosent make any sense. I took a screenshot of the battery graph for reference: http://i.imgur.com/MyUDnNT.png
As you can see on the graph it randomly drops off there and then goes down at a pretty brisk pace. I wasent using the phone from 6pm to 8pm, right around the time it dropped all that battery.
Could this be due to my battery just dieing out or is it possibly a issue with the rom?

Please describe more information like:
1. was your network set in 3G? LS battery isn't really good with 3G
2. what number of app you are using? social media apps that always updating their data i.e google+, fb, etc --> would increase data usage when they synchronize.
3. please check whether your razr went to deep sleep.
Solution:
1. Set to 2G always and go to 3G if you want faster speed (download the 2g/3g toggle widget for L)
2. Uninstall those app if you're not using it or limit their synchronize routine by the app itself or using profile in Tasker (advanced method)
3. you should installed wakelock monitor app from Play Store
If battery drain were persist when you have done those troubleshoot and solution, you should try to calibrate your battery (leave it shutdown automatically after reaching low level and then charge it until 100%, go + 1 hour to make sure, go to recovery to check the % and then boot to your system and calibrate using calibration app from the Play Store).
Last one, if calibrate doesnt work, then the battery might be already dropped.
Also do check that location services etc are set to power save mode.
Use an app to check wakelock and disable that annoying app.
or may be you are right... lets hope not for your own wellness!
I also remember having that problem when I was on cm12. After my battery dropping insanely low, it kept long before the little juice left in it run out.
So i thinks its something with the 5.0 ROMs
