When do you guys think the RAZR will see any release of Cyanogenmod? I need to know if I should get this phone over the Nexus or not, and I think that right now, that's a big deciding factor.
I really want Vanilla on this phone.
Wrong section, but if you want ICS you had better get a Nexus. This thing doesn't even have a proper recovery yet and we won't even begin to see real ICS ports until the Nexus is released.
Reason being is that even though ICS source was released, developers are still trying to rig 4.0 to work with Gingerbread kernels. Until the Nexus is released and phones begin to get OTA 4.0 updates with working and updated kernels, you will not see a true ICS port.
Obviously that is all going to take some time, at best probably a few weeks to a month after the Nexus drops.
I honestly do enjoy my Razr, but no removable battery, horrible battery life and the lack of ROM options are all clear reasons to swap it for the Nexus when that drops
I have great battery life. I have frozen alot of bloat, gps off, 4g off, background data off(i check stuff manually), unnecessary stuff set to autokill in stock task manager. Phone is used heavy for 9 1/2 hour work day and still typically 55-60% left. Overnight 1% drain per hour on standby(using circle battery widget for reference). Its all in the configuration. Motorola has superior voice quality and minimal dropped calls. IMO of course...

Yeah, you're not getting great battery life. Un-gimp your phone, use it as delivered, and then talk about battery life.
What can it hurt. Ill give it a shot

How on earth can you guys be experiencing that great battery life??? I went to a wedding today and the phone lasted from 11am until 7pm (8 hours) and I used the camera/camcorder for 30 minutes total. I had GPS on but Wi-Fi off the entire time. I run stock unrooted software. The battery isn't awful... but not being able to promptly pop in another battery is a FAIL of epic proportion on behalf of Motorola.

Lies. My RAZR lives on the charger and I will be returning it to Verizon pz, can't stand the horrible battery life.
We could as easily call you a liar. Each persons use is different.just because it does not match your results does not make someone a liar.
In my opinion, this Razr battery shows a great deal of how "battery conditioning" can improve your experience.
well my Razr battery works horribly in first 3 days and then it started getting much much better.
Now, a week and 2 days after I bought the phone, I am experience the similar battery life as someone there said.
1% drop per hour on standby in the night. easily got 24 hours of usage even with
10 hours in office on LTE (but not active use because I need to work), generally 1. 30-40 mins call
2. check email/facebook once per hour for 10 hours day time on LTE
3. check email/facebook play with the phone once per half hour at home on wifi with 4G data disabled
4. taking 10+ pictures
5. read kindle book 20 mins each on return trips between home/work
6. watched Google Videos REnted movie for 1 hour
pretty much above is the normal usage for me for a PHONE. (slight more than moderate)
quite impressed by such battery life.

Not lies. I get about ~15hrs with moderate/average use, 7-8 with very heavy and 18-20 with light. The first 3 days it did poorly on battery, but fully letting it cycle down and charge back up so it's conditioned has let it hit its stride. LTE is on and in use all the time and I have 2 Exchange/push accounts running. Only things I keep off unless using is wifi, standalone GPS and bluetooth, why leave that on if I'm not using it? And I keep the brightness fairly low but not 0 and that dim option unchecked. Don't use smart actions. ~75 apps installed with the usual FB stuff syncing.
The Razr is easily the best VZ LTE phone on battery, though I hear the Rezound is ok too. Overall it's been a hair less than my X. Not sure why some of you have such abysmal life, something tells me you're in a fringe area with a lot of network flipping without realizing it, or have something installed/not configured right.
The LTE Nexus is worse. Hearing high single digit hours with only moderate usage from someone testing it. Sure you can swap, but if it can't make it on average use for < 12hrs, it's not good IMO.

Your phone is defying physics if its LiIon battery can be "conditioned". Hint: there's no conditioning or break-in with these batteries.

He's right. Your phone gets better battery life the first couple days you use it not because the battery is being "conditioned" but because the phone's software learns how to utilize the battery better -- in laymans terms.
Oops
I nearly posted a response to all this *****ing about battery life to say that if we could just get CM7 onto this phone, it'd help quite a bit with battery life (even more so if we could manage a custom kernel, too). Then I realized that's how this thread was started. Where did we go wrong?
Oh why should someone lie?? LOL, RAZR is the best smartphone I have ever come across on battery life...

Indeed! I'm at 50% still after HEAVY usage and I unplugged it at 7am..
\\Carved into this thread by my RAZR//

Since this thread has mutated into a battery thread I'll chime in as well. I have been getting amazing battery life the past few days. As stated above, the first few days are a gong show but it really does settle out and get much stronger. I'm not going to get into what my use is etc but I will say I am coming home with 20-30% more than what I was with my Desire Z, Sensation and Galaxy S after the same full day at work.
+1 for Motorola phones running CM. Ive had my Photon since August and just flashed CM7 build from the Photon forums and its wonderful. Just keep in mind that Motorola uses some of the BEST hardware. Their products hold strong through the years of abuse. I stuck it out with blur until CM7 was ported over to the photon. If i was on the razr, id do the same thing. Good things come in time. Phones work the best having good radios in them, without a good radio its just a good looking paper weight. Stick with Motorola and you will be impressed.
Since people only post on negative battery experience while the happy ones are silent, I will break the silence.
I have and use the One X+ (international non-LTE, in central Europe) for one week. Today, I just used it to browse web for several hours (browser was consuming 55% at time of screenshot) and read some pdf (pdf viewer was consuming 17%; I flipped about 200 pages in fast way as it was mildly boring ebook with big fonts so no zooming). There were about 10 minutes of web or youtube video too.
The screenshot shows battery graph at 38% of battery left, after 8 hours since plugged.
I guess (based on the screenshot bars and based on the actual usage) the screen-on time was about 60% (so between 4.5 and 5 hours).
Boo at HTC for removing screen-on time counter.
Google now is off.
Mobile data is off.
WiFi is on.
Power saver mode is off.
Brightness was automatic, usually around 30%.
No extra battery monitor was running (they may affect battery while measuring too).
Stock rom, one OTA update was performed.
Android version 4.1.1
Build 1.17.401.1
I have never managed to fully discharge the battery so its measurements may not be fully calibrated.
no problems here
This phone has great life for me. The only times I've had a problem getting a full day was when I first got it and basically didn't put it down. Since then I usually have 30-50% left at the end of the day. I wonder what some people do to drain the battery so much...

I disagree.
I don't game at all. I get about 10-14hrs of battery life with 1-2hrs of screen time with most of that running on LTE and with Power Saver ON. That is OK, but not great at all. I would like to get that type of battery life with 3-4 hours screen time and using Navigation. I think for people that use their phone for work and travel for work, you ideally need 16hrs battery life with 3-4 hours screen time with some GPS/Navigation. Don't think this phone will every get there.
I've finally got my IT to give me WIFI access at work to avoid 3G/LTE and today I'm testing if Juice Defender is better than Power Saver mode, but based on my current drain, I don't sure i'll make it to 16hrs.
In either case, I found the drain while running Navigation to be HUGE (40%+/h) and if Power Saving mode is OFF the phone will overheat as well (55C/130F).
Still I love this phone, but hope I can find a way to squeeze as much battery as possible. When I look over to say the Nexus 4 forum, I'm a bit envious on what those users are achieving on their batteries.

I'm debating switching from the N4 to the HOX+ but the battery is one huge concern. I traded a RAZR HD for a HOX+ and i should have it tomorrow so i can compare the two. I've been averaging between 4 and 5 hours of screen time per day, with my best being 5h 31min. The only thing that I'm thinking will help my case for the OX+ is that i will only use it on hspa+ instead of LTE.

Well, I choose the HOX+ mainly because you can't buy a N4, unless you go to the aftermarket and pay a premium. Also the 16GB is just not enough and LG lost me a customer coming from the LG G2x. Plus in Canada, there's not much benefit buying a phone off-contract. I was off-contract for the past 3yrs and my experience wasn't any better than the the providers that lock you in. That said, I'm guessing you will see better battery on your N4 compared to the HOX+...but hey, I don't either will come close to the RAZR HD for battery life.

Thats very weird! Here are screenshots with detailed info about one of my usage days...
As you see i got 37hours with 3h screen time.... so about same as you.
All connection ON all the time (wifi, 3g)
Sync on
Power saver ON.
Some gaming, web browsing, social apps, calling, texting and stuff (see app usage screenshot)
p.s. my phone is stock and unrooted and i dont use any power saver apps or anything like that. Just stock power saver option.
Oh and i played one game with power saver off, not for long tho. (was tegra3 game, that racing game, you can see it in screenshot)

Maybe I've not been using it for heavy gaming, but in the month I've had the phone, I've not run into any serious battery issues. If this were an issue, I'd probably install JuiceDefender, and configure it as per my schedule so push E-mails are not constantly keeping the radio on, as well as throttling CPU back.
I also have a charger in my car, so if I'm on the road, it gets charged.
my battery life usually gets me through the day until about 7pm with around 3hrs screen on time so i cant complain too much. i listen to music a lot and text heavily

I might have a bad car charger, but when I'm running Navigation, it still drains the battery at 10%/h.
I think I do have higher battery life expectations. I tested with Juice Defender yesterday, and basically it provides around the same benefit as running in Battery Saver mode. Got 2hrs screen time with 14 hrs total run time while mostly connected to WIFI (maybe 2hrs or so connected to HSPA/LTE). Again this is OK...but not great.
Today I am testing with both JD and Power Saver on and will report back. It's the last day of my 14 day return/exchange policy and I'm planning to keep the HOX+. I have a very slight inclination to change to LG Optimus G as I believe it has the potential to get the same battery life as the Nexus 4. But I'm scared as hell about the LG support and the if people think the Dev community is thin here, it's basically a ghost town there. That said, it looks like they have a good build for CM 10.1.

There are quite a few good ones out there. I like juice defender and greenify. I don't really use them now though. The htc one battery does a good job without slowing down the phone.
I never use battery apps ever, but coming to a phone that gets about an hour and a half less screen time, I tried this out for about a week and a half. It did nothing..... I mean literally nothing. Averaged the exact same everything. The only thing that changed was I had an icon in the notification bar. Its not even worth the wait while it's learning..... Apparently to do nothing.
I think this apps actual purpose is to advertise for their processors.

No, I would just wait. Your can remove the icon from the bar. You should look before you an post (not trying to start a war) give it some time. I have gained a few hours, or maybe my phone is just working better.

BatteryGuru does work a little bit. I used it on my atrix. However what this guy just said.
Turn on power saver and only check underclock CPU and lower screen brightness (HTC one screen is too bright) and you're golden. Haven't noticed a difference in performance from the lower cpu speeds at all. Quad core ftw I guess.

Its funny how people always use screen time as a way to judge battey life. Theres more to it than that. Gaming, streaming and watching movies will definitely drain the battery quicker. Im not a power user and was very skeptical about the battery on the HTC One when I purchased it. So far, my battery lasted me throughout the day most days. Its true however that HTC is known to have smaller batteries.

Yeah. This is a small battery, I tried guru on the one and it didn't seem to make any change at all, if you out everything into super power save mode it works but then nothing ever updates. Kinda ruined my experience.
Underclocking cpu and lowering screen brightness through power saver is by far the easiest and best way for saving b life without ruining user experience (IMHO)
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I didn't think id like it but I turned power saver on with justlower screen brightness and lower cpu power and I have to say this thing still flies.... No lag at all and even the lowered screen brightness is still to bright imo so I leave it on all the time helps a lot. It takes the battery and phone about a week to break in and learn percentages anyway so don't be discouraged about batt life on the first couple days. Plus we use new devices more which makes a difference. I had a couple other things not perfect at first on my phone like agps not working but after a few charges and reboots it's working great better than my one s with any rom I've ever used.

Screen on time is one of the best ways to judge battery life. If you can get an hour of talk time, texting like mad and get 4 1/2 hours of screen time....video, reading, etc...... That's a bad ass battery.
Phone that's been on for 35 hours with 1 hour of screen time is quite simply a phone that is not used much.

I don't think you understood what I meant. I meant to say comparing screen times on a device that played intensive gaming vs the screen time on a device that was used to browse the web and text. Both screens are on but the one playing game is likely to chew up battery faster due to the cpu running more aggressive. So basically all these screen times that people post aren't really helping unless they're accurately stating what was it used for. Wifi vs 4G LTE plays a factor also. All in all, it's likely everyone uses their phones for different things so battery life will be judge differently.

I actually used this app when I had the Nexus, and I HATE battery saver apps like Bullsh.. I mean Juice Defender. The fact that Qualcomm is putting it out for their own chips tells me it's worth a shot.

I understand where your coming from, and you're not wrong. My only point is that phones that can sustain, what I would consider excessive screen on, would naturally stand up better to whatever you throw at it.
Having said that, my OneX would get 5 and a half hours screen on with texting, reading, XDA app all day, YouTube, etc. Sure I could easily kill the battery playing crazy graphics games in 2 and a half hours..... Most phones that are only averaging 3-4 hours of screen time are not going to be able to get 2 1/2 hours of play time doing anything else. My OneX battery kills this One. I wouldn't necessarily say I am a power user.... But I have been known to put a beating on mine pretty regularly.

I see a lot of threads here where the OP upgraded from the Galaxy Nexus to the Droid DNA. It would be helpful to me and I think a lot of people out there on the fence with the DNA and a few other devices if you'd share your experience and compare the two.
A big thing I want to know is battery life. My Nexus, though less than a year old, has, IMO, classic HTC battery life (more the OG Dinc and Thunderbolt, I think today HTC has kind of fixed that...maybe?), and at this point I just want a phone that gets me through the day. So how does the battery life compare?
Thanks!

Badseeds sense 5 rom and beaups or crpalmers kernel are both great. I have got close to 5 hrs screen time on this phone. Battery life is no comparison it's night and day.

My thoughts exactly(came from gnex too)only thing I would add is, after 7 day testing on both, beaups and crpalmers kernel both preform the same in every day use. Battery life, stability. Both are awesome.
@56% after 8 hours of moderate use on crpalmers. (Can't get pics to insert on xda premium for some reason or I would show u)

I'd love a PM about your settings to get there. Thats crazy as I can only hit 3 hours screen on time.
I have had the following android devices. Droid X, Thunderbolt, Razr Maxx, Gnex, and DNA. Of the five the Gnex was probably my least favorite phone to be quite honest. If you gave the DNA the battery from the Maxx I would probably never buy another phone. I love this one that much lol. The phone is just amazing and it eats everything I throw at it alive. Battery life is really a non issue with this device imo. I work 10-12 hours shifts and I have my phone set up in such a way that I probably only consume 20% of my battery during that time frame. By using tasker, greenify and battery guru. The thing that holds true for me and I alluded to it in my first sentence above is that I can only get a little over 3 hours of screen time on my device. Now with that being said you have to understand that those three hours can come anyway possible. If I sit on my phone for 3 hours consecutively then it's going to die. If I stretch it out over 24 hours then it'll die whenever I get to the 3 hours mark.That's the most important thing to understand really.

Badseed sense 5 rom and beast kernel installed with default settings. Nothing special. In an area with good signal and wifi.
So, some people have been able to get amazing battery life out of the One, but others have had fairly major heat buildup and short battery life issues. I have also seen some posts about lag issues.
I'm deciding between this phone and the LG G2, which I have heard also has battery issues. I currently have an HTC One X+, and the battery, lag, and heat buildup are pretty bad. Battery life sucks without power saver mode, but the phone is laggy with it on, so I'm cautious about getting another HTC device. I love the build quality and developer support though.
What I want to know is, are most people having good experiences with the battery/heat buildup of the One? Have you experienced consistent lag or unreasonable battery drain? Thanks for your responses.

I've had both the AT&T One x and One, and never had issues with lag or battery life on either. I'm sure one person's 'lag' is another person's 'silky smooth', but after the project butter improvements in ICS, I must say i'v ebeen extremely impressed with how the One x then, and now, the One have performed. I also manage a full day easily out of the One's battery. Today, for example, a very average day of usage, I have so far had the phone unplugged for 14:01, had 1:56 of screen on time, and listened to about 90 minutes of Spotify streaming via cell (can't use wifi at the office). I have 46% of my batter life left, and, according to GSam, I've got about 12hrs of battery left, on average.
yesterday, i plugged my phone in after 16 hours since full charge when I woke up. pretty much same type of usage as today, except yesterday i streamed about 3 hours of Spotify over cell and i was at 31% when I went to bed.
this all includes exchanging about 45-40 texts throughout the day and typical facebooking and, most importantly, actually using BlinkFeed, as well as Feedly, for about a total of 20-25 mins throughout the day.
all of this aside, there is already a TON of this info available on xda if you do a simple search. you should feel fortunate that you got a response out of one of us!

Thanks for the reply. It's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I know there is other stuff on XDA about this, but I couldn't seem to find posts where people explained their thoughts. Most just said, "My One did/didn't lag and had awesome/horrible battery life." Again, thanks for the response. I think I'm going to go with the One.

no problem, happy to help. just wanted to throw in the friendly reminder . have a search for the battery life and/or battery stats threads. they typically have tons of screenshots of battery life, which you can peer through to get a sense of the life people are getting and how they are getting it. those threads also tend to breed good conversations on settings tweaks people use to maximize battery life or reduce heat issues (if they present themselves).
for what it's worth, i run bone stock b/c my One is a work phone. I also forgot to mention a key factor in that I keep my screen brightness to around 30% (which is plenty bright for this phone) and have it set to timeout at 30 seconds.
I also once read a very interesting article regarding this phone employing up to 3 different LCD panel 'models' which all displayed ever-so-slightly different contrast ratios and brightness levels, which could potentially turn different results for different users. no idea where i saw that at, but it was freakishly detailed. i'm pretty sure it was linked somewhere on these boards, perhaps in the international One boards, too. anyway, interesting read if you're into that kind of thing.
get the one. the fact that 4.3 has been all but guaranteed to arrive OTA soon is wonderful. not to mention it's a beautiful piece of hardware and the boomsound speakers are light years better than anything else available. i can actually stand to listen to music/podcasts/sports broadcasts without. I thought i'd never use them but i find myself using them a lot now. especially handy for speakerphone calls in a car.
I'm thinking about selling my HTC One. I've been using my LG G2 and Moto X more now. These two devices are awesome.

These stats are after my first full charge:
After 31h 35m i left with 7%
Screen 2h 42m
Phone calls 43m
This is really great. I kept all stock, brightness is auto, screen time out not chaged. Only thing is GPS is off, except when needed. wifi is of when I am out of house.
