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.

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?
Oh why should someone lie?? LOL, RAZR is the best smartphone I have ever come across on battery life...

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.
My battery life on my phone isn't the best (maybe its my phone maybe I'm not doing something right). I like my razr right now...if I had better battery I would love and If I had a battery case it'd be the best android I've ever had. So has anyone heard of a battery Cass for the razr???

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!

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)

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.

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.

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.

Just had to post this factoid. I've had the DNA for about 2 weeks and i honestly can't believe the battery life. It is just getting sick battery life. I've had alot of smartphones over the years, but this one is by far the best in battery life. My last phone, droid razr, was on juice defender and barely made it through a day without charging and minimal use.
An example day like yesterday is typical:
unplugged at 7am fully charged. Bluetooth streaming music for an hour ride to work, 4 hours of music streaming during work along with 30 min of gaming (lunch). Streaming music all the way back home - 74% At home, 1 hour of tasker, 30 mins of various email and facebook. Result - 59%. No charging overnight, on it's 7am alarm, it is at 53%.
It will go 2 full days of use without charging. How did they do that? The battery is barely bigger than my dual core RAZR on a much smaller more efficient 4'3" screen. I've always had SuperAmoled phones like the galaxy S3, RAZR, etc.. I thought superamoled was more efficient.
I saw the XDA review a couple days ago and another online review a month ago. In both cases, the reviewers were also a bit perplexed about the great battery life. It wasn't just good, it was unusually GREAT.
That's good to hear.. mind to post some screen shots? Particularly the screen on time.
If I didn't live in a signal black hole I would easily get 2 days out of mine...

What's a good app to show this breakdown?
I agree 100% Compared to my thunderbolt (had it until a few weeks back, was almost 2 years old) which could not really make it through the entire day with regular usage, the DNA usually ends up at around 50% (at least from looking at the battery symbol, I've not bothered to look at the actual percent) with regular usage. I live a few miles away from a tower, so not sure if that affects battery life significantly, definitely works well though. Combined with the wireless charging setup (was not planning on getting it initially, but had ended up selling back the thunderbolt + had some sort of work discount, so it had ended up only being around $11) battery life is the least of my concerns at the moment
I feel the same way. I had a TB with rezound battery and SoaB 1.4 and it drained so fast. My DNA seems to last forever. It's such a relief to not have to have a charger around if I'm going to be gone for more than 6 hours.

Any thoughts as to why it gets so amazing battery life? On paper a quad core 5" screen with just a 2020mh battery should barely make it through the day. The nexus 4 surely doesn't get this life on a similar chip with smaller screen (i have one).

I totally agree with the above comments. I was scared by the prerelease estimates of the battery. Using it daily has proven the opposite. Some times I look at my phone at the end of the day and worry about the battery not fully cycling. There is to much charge left to start charging. Hopefully new batteries don't have that issue. In addition these awesome developers truly maximize the capabilities of this device. And they never seem to quit.

I did just get the device a couple days ago so maybe the battery hasn't been conditioned yet?

What's your screen on time like. Because one person's definition of minimal may not be the same as another person's definition of it.

I know my screen on time is really low. I teach so really do not use my phone more than 1 hour of screen on time between 7:00 am - 3:00 pm. Image below:

However after that my usage really picks up. My phone still lasts until 9:00-10:00 without fail. Thanks to the amazing development group dedicating so much effort into this phone I have seen improvements in charge speed. I will post my before bed power screen tonight for comparison of usage and full day performance assessment.

Your app usage seems really high.

Check battery usage at the end of the day and disable any apps running services you're not using. Mine was using Maps a lot for some reason so I disabled it in Titanium. There were a few other apps with notifications that I turned off as well and now I'm still at around 70% around 11PM after being off the charger since 8AM with moderate usage.
Just installed GSAM yesterday.
Ran the phone a little harder than normal, I use juice defender, but set it to FORCE ENABLE data, which offsets it's use. To give an example, typically on Juice defender on idle, it uses about 1% an hour. So overnight, i would expect less than 8% drop, but these last few days, it was more like 15%.
Had the phone on for 34 hours on battery and it still at 24% battery. (just plugged it in to get the screenshots).
