Motorola Droid RAZR Battery Life Tips & Tricks
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since Motorola has built its Droid Razr in such a way that you cannot remove its battery, it has sure become a concern to many who are intending to buy or have already bought the Razr. You cannot use an extended battery with the Droid Razr since you cannot swap the in-built battery. It is also one of the slimmest smartphones available and with an application called Smart Actions Motorola has tried to do away with battery related fears. This app allows you to decide which applications or tasks should be assigned to the phone. The Smart Actions you can now have a say on the apps which should auto start when you boot your phone. It allows you to switch off the other apps you would not require frequently.
Motorola claims in one of the videos it uses to promote the Smart Actions app that the user can increase the phone’s battery life by almost 30% if they switch of some of the tasks using the app. This will allow the battery to be used only for the apps which are important and designated. This app even lowers the brightness of the screen by adjusting the settings if you ask it to. This helps you to change the screen’s brightness every time you feel that the battery strength is on the decline. A low brightness level will indeed help you to save your battery for more important tasks.
Apart from this, you can also use portable battery packs to extend the life of your Droid Razr’s battery. These are devices or accessories which you can carry along with you wherever you go and you can charge up to two mobile devices using these. You can then play games, listen to music, surf or talk endlessly with these portable battery packs which allow your Razr to be working extensively.
You can find many more tips and tricks for saving battery in this thread (thanks to royalbloodvi):

Seems like it, also, how can I tell if these apps are on in the background or only draining during usage?
I guess that if you're connected to a network it will constantly be checking for the adds.
Use better battery stats, it will tell you everything you need to know for each app that uses battery.
AdFree? yes, it sure does.
Your posted image, my daily experience along with Biporch's thought, surely it does.
The question is that should we get rid of AdFree or keep it or any other alternative tool that not causing battery drain.
I use adfree to manually update the hosts file occasionally, but leave everything else off in settings.
Try Adaway. Its a nice alternative to adfree
No drain

CollegeProfesor what program is that you are using to track battery usage. Seems very nice.
I do have better battery stats but it isnt as easy to view.

That is BetterBatteryStats. He is looking at the Process view, which can be obtained by clicking on the dropdown menu at the very top and choosing Process. If you are asking about the overall look of the app, seems like he has some ICS-esque theme going on there.
This is just the battery stats viewer that comes with the miui from

You folks could also just place the host file yourself. No ad blocking application required. Though my favorite is adaway. Essentially init.doh adblocking is adaway with 1 more list merged thanks to adaway's awesome features.
Yea, I like adaway because it's open source.
Well, 2, 3 seniors suggest adaway then adaway, here I come
Give it a try.
Thanks all
I have a question about Project Epsilon v3 ROM.
I'm currently on 676.226.3.XT910.Retail.en.EU ICS leak.
I'm going to install this rom via Bootmenu.
And here is my question. Do I have to wipe data or only cache and dalvik? Or maybe I don't have to wipe data but it is better to do so?
Thanks in advance!
Better do it I personally always do that, or just follow the ROM guidelines, now is easier to get all the apps with titanium and other apps.
Also to update from v3 to v4 I recommend full wipes to because I had some problems with wallpapers and widgets.
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
Thanks! I did the wipe, however I have few new question.
First. Is it really worth to upgrade to v4? I heard that there are some problem with it and some people said that it's better to stick to V3.
Second. I did battery calibration like in ROM guide once (Did it today that's why), however I'm still having terrible battery life with display taking 80% of power. Any solution for that?
I'd stay in V3. What do you call terrible battery life? There are some threads that approach battery "readings". The info portrayed by widgets and some apps could be misleading IMHO. That 80% is how much battery the screen has used but not out of the total battery. I have gotten almost two days on a single charge, and screen consumption is never less than 70%. That is regardless of the time i check the battery information. It seems battery will constantly be in that 70, 80% area.

And it always takes 1-2 days or more for the battery to "settle" when you change ROM.
Try using CPU Sleeper in Play. It switches off 1 of the cores on a dual/quad core phone, everytime your screen is turned off. It works better than the Sleep option when you press the On/Off button on the phone, this Sleep option doesn't ring when someone tries calling you. With CPU Sleeper - on my tests it lost 5% battery life in 12 hours.

Wow if that is the case I'm going to give that a shot!!
I have one more question.
I use blur camera but i miss this cool sound when taking photo that was on GB and ICS Leak. But in project epsilon there is only some kind of beeb. Is it possible to bring back photo making sound? xP! That would be coool!
Hi everyone
Seeder is an app that aims to reduce lag by 90% on Android.
It uses different method of generating random numbers which improves IO scheduling and in turn reduces lag. I have tried it on my G3 and it does help while loading apps like Google Maps and browsing.
This only works on 2.2+. I have tested it on CM7.2.

Here's the official XDA Thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987032
Google Play Link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lcis.seeder
It's a paid app on the Play store but the dev has uploaded it to xda for free. The paid app is for donation.
I am JUST sharing this app and telling you guys that this works on our G3. Not affiliated with anyone.
You should mention that it also drains the battery and it's not perfectly working yet so it's a work in progress. Many people have said that all it does it keep the CPU speeds higher and wake the CPU every second or something so the phone doesn't go into deep sleep. This is why the battery dies quicker and when I was using it I also noticed the battery drain.

Indeed.
I did give it a shot, noticed a slight difference (perhaps a placebo) but it sure did reduce my battery life by 70%.
It's proved by Google devs themselves that this IS a placebo effect.
Here's their input -
The only users of /dev/random are libcrypto (used for cryptographic operations like SSL connections, ssh key generation, and so on), wpa_supplicant/hostapd (to generate WEP/WPA keys while in AP mode), and the libraries that generate random partition IDs when you do an ext2/3/4 format. None of those 3 users are in the path of app execution, so feeding random from urandom does nothing except make random… well… less random
So, this is pretty useless. Yeah.

I am sharing this app because not to gain thanks i want people benefit from this
I also tried One Power Guard after seeing it mentioned on a recent XDA TV episode. For me it seems to slow things down, which was probably a problem with the way I have things set up (I wonder if this was caused by a combination of One Power Guard and my use of Link2SD?). I installed it and the slow-down went away.
This should be posted in the Themes/Apps board. This app looks pretty good, the overlay on the home screen is awesome. Do you use it in conjunction with the built in power saver or do you just use this app?
