the battery life isn't the best Abe can't go a day with moderate use
Does anyone know any tips on preserving battery life?
If this is a problem I'll have to trade this for the nexus but don't want to do that because I love this device.

1. Download something like JuiceDefender, you'll see it will make your battery to last something more.
2. Use SetCPU and set profiles for screen off with CPU at lowest speed possible.
3. Avoid using live wallpapers, they're battery eaters
4. Try to disable the pocket detection as it will make your proximity sensor to be always powered on.
would it benefit my battery if I was rooted?

Proximity sensor will only be powered on when the light falls below a set level and phone is at approx. 80-100 deg

it could if you put that to good use like uninstalling some possible bloat.
The real battery savers is with custom ROMs, but you'll have to wait until it's able to be fully rooted so you can flash ROM's.

Hi all.. for the past the days I have noticed that the battery usage or the battery information tab (eg. Display 30%, Android OS 25%......) in the settings of my motorola razr doesn't add up to 100%.. It varies between 92% and 102%. All I did was root my phone a week back using Motofail and I unrooted it yesterday using Doomslord unroot. Should I factory rest my phone? Please help!!!
Also does anyone know or have you seen this "battery report.apk" file which is also known as "Cool Down Mode"? It is in your phone internal memory. Do you know what it does. Has anyone installed it and checked what it does?
Thanks I advance!!!

seems to be a software hang. Drain battery completly and charge it without start the phone. This may fix the problem. If not, do a factory reset.

Try looking through your sync settings, set them as low as possible and be sure to exit your apps with the back button not hitting home
Edit : you could also use better battery stats

I have my sync settings very low as well.. I use juice defender free version!! And I flashed into another build, from Asiaretail03 to PSHAsiaretail and still have the problem!!
How will Better battery Stats help me?? is there a free version of the app?? If not is there any other way?? will it affect my battery life???

I have the paid version of jd, it seems to make things worse for me in terms of battery life on the RAZR, and the lag in the initiation of the cell radio was very annoying. It was great for the og droid though. On another note, freeze all bloat!, and you may have to go through and change the sync settings on each app that uses network sync individually. I'm hesitate to suggest this because there's so many post claiming it's bad for your battery, while I understand the train of thought, I still question the validity of the advice. So do this at your own risk. Since the os is reporting more than or less than 100% battery my guess is that the os's scale is off. The os shuts down your phone well before your battery gets to zero as a fail safe, and stops taking a charge at 100%. When you flash a new rom, or didn't charge the phone fully before you turned it on when new, or any other number of variables, your battery stats get mucked up. The old school way to retrain was turn off and charge for how ever long it takes to know your fully charged (over night), boot into recovery wipe battery stats, unplug boot up and run the phone until it dies, charge to 100 with out turning back on, then use as normal. I dont advise that method, my advice is to run phone until it dies, charge to 100 with out powering up, run phone normally

Ok I don't want to freeze my bloatware... And I completely drained my battery and charged it till 100 without powering up (twice).. But still have the problem...
Let me try the other method but where will I see the recovery wipe battery stats in the boot menu? ?
Thanks a lot for taking your time..

It is in cwm menu under advanced, if you don't have cwm there is a file in the root system, you'll have to research to find its location, (i cant remember where it is), that holds the battery stats, you can delete it and it does basically the same thing. You might could find an app on the market that will find and delete it for you. Just be careful, do it right, you can make it worse.

You should be fine, just let the phone charge to 100% and be sure not to boot up before it gets there, and by no means charge the phone while draining the battery

Have you ever considered something as simple as % rounding error? Seems more likely, currently mine shows 101%.
I was also curious, what in the world compelled you to bother to add up the percentages in the first place? ;-)
Peace!
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
Just to be totally sure, you're having problems with battery life, its not just that your battery usages are off. The percentages are rounded, but shouldn't be off by more than 10%, if so than its a tell of another problem, also if your a medium- heavy user your screen should be the highest percentage, if its android os or system using a large percentage its normally bloatware in your root file system, if it's media, you need to look at the motocast apps, if its cell stand by, check the time with out signal, if you have a large % with out signal, you should 1st check for the most recent radio, 2nd find out where it is you're getting poor signal and keep your phone in airplane mode in that area if possible, if not only turn off/ on data as you need it, your cell radio seaching for towers will drain your battery quick, also, the reason i suggested better battery stats is it can provide a more detailed breakdown of what is using your battery and identify apps that are keeping your phone frome going into a lower power state with wakelocks
A little more info.

Thanks for the info.. The battery percentage ranges from 92-103%... And my highest battery consumer is the Screen followed by Voice calls and Android OS..
I will try getting better battery stats and check but I don't want to buy the app and experience the same problem..
If the battery life is getting affected will it be because of a faulty battery? can I get a replacement because of this?
And yes thanks a lot for spending your time..

Hi.. Is there an app that runs in Razr which will let you know that the battery is fully charged? Something like an alarm?

just to go in to more details on where it is, its in settings, then sounds and its right down at the bottom ' battery full notification'.

I'm just curious, why???
The charging circuit, if functioning correctly will not let the battery overcharge and will stop the charge process.
Look at the icon on the phone, the lighting bolt goes away when fully charged.
The status will also indicate that. I don't worry about it.

So if I overcharge the phone, the battery won't be affected right? Like will the life of the battery reduce?

the stock Ecomoto chargers that come with the razr has circuitry in it that stops the charging when the battery reaches capacity, unlike the so called battery charged alert since the default increment jumps occur in 5% and 10% steps the phone will alert you a full battery when its really only at 96% and take about another 5-15 minutes to finish charging at which time the charger will cut it.
I first noticed this when I used it to charge my samsung galaxy player and 20 minutes after it finished charging I couldn't do the standard tap the power button to see the charge status bar, because the charger had cut power to the player.
In sound settings, there is a box at the bottom that will notify you when battery is full

The OP isn't looking for a simple ALERT he is looking for an ALARM style where it won't stop till its unplugged from the charger.
Full Battery Alarm
Search full battery alarm in the play store. The developer is Crazydog. Hope that's what you're looking for.
Guys which is better???? Anybody tried out both on GSM RAZR?
They're pretty different. Like, different purposes. Smart actions is more about controlling things on-off.
Juice defender is more.. Fluid. It can add more intervals and similar things. I use both in conjunction for a fuller coverage.
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
i prefer juice defender ultimate for saving battery as it has much for functions dedicated for you to do so
I don't use any. I just let Android do out as the other apps will mess up your phone with how Android handles memory allocation.

Juice Defender has nothing to do with memory, it triggers data connection, wifi, brightness, background data, 3g/2g.
I think JD is much better then then Smart Actions.
I've found with juice defender and ics battery is rubbish. Take it off and reboot and its fine

...but JD can turn on background data every 5 15 30 (of your choice) and check your emails, talk, fb messages when screen is off. SA don't turn on background data when you have screen off for example 3 hours.
Correct me if I wrong.

Juice Defender is more difficult to handle in my opinion, but is more powerful if you spend time to configure it.
I actually tried juice defender and it messed up my phone. Smartaction is the way to go
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
Same juice defender is awful. Really messed my phone up. I'm sticking with smart actions or just leaving it alone. I wouldn't use anything but it helps slow things down when it gets over worked.. My phone used to get hot and have a ton of processes going at once. Now it stays cool and runs smooth with it killing background sync when display is off...

Has anyone else experienced increased battery drain with Google Now enabled? It seems to make sense that it would since it updates and tracks location in the background. I was just wondering what others have experienced.

Hi folks. I recently flashed to this ROM for the nexus 4 experience. Its really fast but I have noticed an issue. The backlight takes a lot of time to adjust brightness as power ambient light conditions.
Also the battery life is quite low. I live 40 away from work and I lose about 9% battery buy the time I teach work every morning without even touching it.
CPU governor is pegasusq while I/O scheduler is bfq. What can I do to get more battery life without compromising Performance?

Most AOSP based rom have battery drain issues. Usually Android OS have a high percentage in battery usage stats. No fix as far as i know.

As mentioned earlier, AOSP might be the problem, whereas you could also check with BetterBatteryStats what exactly is consuming most of your battery load. Maybe you will identify a problem that can be fixed.
