I took my RAZR off the dock today @ 7am, and now @ 7pm, I still have 40% remaining. I've been on it all day, using pulse regularly, lattitude, Gmail, life is crime, XDA, best buy, scouring the market, etc... I have some (but nothing more than stock) Smart Actions running, and a few apps added to the task manager's auto end. Just wanted to re-state, I LOVE THIS FREAKIN PHONE!

Agreed on all counts. Even with heavy use I can make it through the entire day and only be down to 30-40% when I charge it for the night.
Sike ....I stream Pandora at work and in two. Hours I am at 30%....strictly Pandora with my screen off....on 3g but with good coverage ...
hmm I use Jango and Tunein radio pro alot during the day along with calls and text. Plus I check out pulse and visit some forums on tapatalk and such and my battery life is great.
When you first got the phone did you let it drain all the way down the first couple of times before charging it? Not saying thats the problem, just heard and read alot about doing that helping battery life.
That is an old wives tale... or at least it is now. Older batteries definitely had "memory", the newer ones like in our Razr's - not so much.
Probably, but I did it anyway. Kind of like when you pick up a new performance car, you are not supposed to go WOT for long periods till 300-500 miles on the clock. It probably won't matter much, but i'd rather be safe than sorry.
I've installed "data on demand" from market, data and background sync is depended to screen on/off now & my battery life with a normal usage is more than 30hrs, love it

Really, guys? I assume that was in 3G all the time, right?
How many data you guzzled everyday (in MB) in term of emails, messagings, browsings, markets, etc, etc? i spent 2.5GB out of my 3GB quota every month which averaged to 70-90MB everyday for those activities. And my SGS II can only survive 10 hours at the maximum That even after i claimed the old battery and replaced with the new one (luckily for free by Samsung)
I seriously considering this RAZR blade, would you think it will slive my SGS2 battery life in two....?

It's gotta be directly proportional to the network type then. Let's take a poll to see if the GSM or CDMA version do better with battery life.
I have the CDMA razr on Verizon & routinely get 18+ hrs of battery life with 2 push email accts, Facebook & twitter syncing every hour & 9 Widgets that have to update periodically. I use the battery extender smart action and have some of the services on the auto-end list of the stock task manager.

What did you guys do to get such awesome battery stats? I'm running a rooted stock ROM (Asia) with the supercharger scripts from zepplinrox. My battery life is pathetic. I get like 10% drain per hour on idle. This crappy battery life started after I flashed my phone for the first time. It's been like that since.
Is there anything I can do to improve battery life?

Hey,
I am considering getting a T-Bolt or Droid Inc 2 or waiting for the X2 or Bionic. One of my major concerns with the 4G phones is battery life. What are people actually getting for battery life on a T-Bolt with 4G running? I have seen numbers ranging from the VZW advertised down to 2.5 hours.
-Eric
My suggestion is if your going to be on 4G get the extended battery. I can get a full day with it. Standard battery just won't cut it if I get txt, email, and calls. So if you use it like it is a ferrari like I do you will love the thunderbolt, just not the stock battery. Oh and I have friend stream, twitter, gmail, weather, latitude, and my calender set to sync every hour. 5am to about 10pm with normal use on the extended battery. About 4 to 5 hours on the standard battery.

Rooting the device and trying other ROMs in conjunction with other Kernals and SetCPU, you can really get more speed AND battery life out of it.
I said I wouldn't root my phone at first.
Lasted a month.
Should've done it first week.
what was the actual slated battery live for the TB from vzw?
its can be long if you kill all hidden not usefull process
What is the battery life if you root?

lol mine lasted a day haha
when i rooted and just installed a kernal no rom battery life doubled.
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...

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.

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?

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.
Anyone else getting poor battery life with their Razr? I cannot go a full day without recharging at some point. I need a phone to last at least 16 waking hours, so I can recharge at night.
My typical usage pattern is a few hours a day of web browsing and email. I don't game, and I rarely stream video or do anything data intensive. GPS is switched off unless needed, and my screen brightness is set to auto.

I'm actually getting pretty good battery life compared to what I've read so far... Though it wasn't 16 hours, I DID get almost 12 out of it yesterday with pretty heavy usage all day.
I highly suggest using the task managers auto end feature. It'll turn off any apps you set it to after 2 minutes. Fast Reboot is also a very good friend of mine. Though I haven't set any yet, I've played with Smart Actions, and I think with some tinkering, it'll work wonders as well!
\\Carved into this thread by my RAZR//

JuiceDefender with root, AOSP helper, and a manual setup is extremely helpful. The data disable override feature should be on as well.
Make sure in-pocket detection is OFF, as well. It kills the battery really really quickly.
As far as smart actions.... Just turn on the premade battery extender and nighttime battery extender. And data off on screen off.
Lastly, screen filter from the market helps a lot.
I got a full day and 2 hours of use today on Wi-Fi. I'm sure on 3G I could get 20ish hours, and on 4G I could get 15ish.
Mine is great. I got my phone yesterday so it isn't fully calibrated yet but it still last very good.
I've found that the the biggest drainer for me is being in an area where 4g/3g is flip flopping alot. Other than that, phones got amazing battery life. Especially on wifi.

Turn all haptic(vibration) feedback off. i get about 20 hours on 4g, all apps in auto end list, i don't have any BS apps that like to run randomly, not synced with my fb,twitter, g+(have my laptop all day so no point), brightness is about 30%, smart actions usually kill my batt faster for some reason, gps is on, timeout is 30 seconds.

Put the power control widget on your home screen.
Set brightness to minimum or lowest setting that you can use well.
Use wifi whenever possible. Turn. Off new network notifications.
Turn off animations.
Use a simple, mostly black wallpaper.
Turn off auto data sync.
Since I'm around wifi all day I can easily go 12 hours without a charge and have plenty of battery left. 4g is a total power hog.
If you're outside you might want to buy the power pack... good luck!
I think typical android battery life for a normal use will be varies from 6~20 hrs depending on the way u use and what you use.
when running only data/wifi when i need it(off data/wifi when not using), i can get more then 20hrs. if i on data all the time, i can get 8~10hrs with with some facebook, emails and lite web sufing. i will get 4~6 hrs on heavy use on gaming, video and music.
but u need smart action, task killer and ti backup to really optimize the battery life.

With 4g enabled, medium use (some surfing, a few youtube videos) and just a few short phone calls I get 13 hours at the 20% mark.
I don't even know the length of battery life on mine as I'm always moving it from car to car to home and back and when it's in the car it's always on the charger in the car mount. So the charge is always up and down. Whenever I need to take it somewhere without a charge for any length of time though I'll use taskmanager and shut everything down that isn't needed so I can stretch it as far as possible.

Get yourself an Anker Slim Talk battery pack ($27 from Amazon). Attach it to the back of the phone when needed using industrial strength adhesive Velcro. It fits there perfectly and the two together are about the thickness of a Rezound. Plugs straight into the micro usb slot with a built in short stretch cord and you're charging without missing a beat. Strip it off when your charge is solid. Believe me, this is a perfect solution to battery anxiety.

We don't have 4G in the UK so that might well be the basis of this. I've always had a taste for the esoteric and phones like the Moto Razr and Galaxy S2 Skyrocket aren't popular over here (latter isn't even available). For a phone (smart or otherwise), battery life of less than 24hrs simply isn't acceptable!

People using smartphones being on-line all the time got used to 12 hour battery life a long time ago.
Yes, I am talking about people in the UK.
I Mine runs 12 - 15 hours and I'm at 20-30 percent. I've set up some smart actions to conserve battery life with success. One funny thing I noticed though was that when you setup a battery triggered smart action you have the choice of 25%, 35% etc. but the indicator only show 20%, 30% etc.
Anyway compared to my old HTC Desire HD the batterylife of the RAZR is superior!

That's because the phone will display 30%, when it's really a little less than 35%.

I'm a little sick of seeing "terrible battery life!" posts on these forums. So let this be my official way of saying "YER DOIN' IT WRONG!":
Original Droid Razr:
It says "3d 0h 45m 30s on battery":

I turned 4G off and left WiFi on and pretty much did not leave the house for 3 days straight, which likely reduced power usage by the radio. I've had the phone since November, fully stock.
FYI, the battery widget is called Battery Indicator Pro.

Ok so I can't use 4G or leave my house? Why even buy the phone then? Sorry but YOU are doing it wrong.

i find battery life on my GSM unit to be wonderful... so long as i have excellent reception from a tower. as soon as i'm in a fringe area, BYE BYE BATTERY!
Yeah it's kind of pointless to get on here talking about how good battery life CAN be. Yes it can be extremely incredible if you turn off 4G, turn off wifi, turn off background data, don't use your phone, don't leave your house. I mean come on man seriously??? What people are complaining about is everyday regular use. I had 4G on all day, wifi only turned on when I'm home, talked on the phone for about 1 hour all together, sent and received about 50 texts, checked email, checked facebook, hop on Google+, check twitter and a little bit of Temple Run and Draw Something. Got just a little over 8 hours on battery. The OP's stats are NOT realistic so do not buy this phone thinking that you will get the same battery life.
Yeah it's really about screen on time and usage. I don't count it as great battery life if the phone is in airplane mode or barely being used.
My Razr Maxx gives me enough last me from the time I wake up in the morning to the time I go to sleep with no problem, so that's good enough for me.
I definitely don't think it will give us how they advertise on the commercial but it's definitely better than any other android phone I've had.
I think it's more how the android os is consuming the battery over how large the battery is. My friend as the iPhone 4 and gets a day and a half with medium to heavy usage. I don't think the battery is that big in iPhone, never had one.

I got about 20 to 36 hours of battery life for typical daily usage. But, lately it getting worse. The "culprit" is, .... Angry Birds SPACE.
2G + WiFi is the way to go for better battery life.
Thank you.
