I had the Galaxy S2 Sprint version before this phone and when I upgraded it to the ICS the battery life dropped because of the UI using more power. I'm guessing that when the official ICS comes out for this phone it should drop too...and that's the main reason why I like the razr maxx is because of the ridiculous battery life.
Even w ics on 3g I was still getting 5+ hrs screen on time. Its really not an issue as far as battery is concerned on the maxx. Its very good

Good for who? The battery life since the ICS 4.04 update on my device 2 days ago, has been cut by about 50% ....on 2.3.6 GB i was getting 30+ hours on a full charge with moderate usage, now the same usage renders my battery dead at 17 hrs. while it blows away my Tbolt I am concerned that over time this device will prove to be a battery Hog like every other Android Device.....Goodbye ICS, I need battery not eye candy!!
Under GB, my total Android System and Android OS battery usage was always under 10%. On ICS, my total is currently 16%. So I'm losing at least 6% with ICS. Nothing major, but it is a decrease.
I've had the OTA upgrade since Saturday and I haven't seen any appreciable degradation in battery life. I use my phone a lot for calls, texting, email, and streaming media
I have the Maxx and was getting great battery life on GB... I could easily go 2 days without a charge.
I keep it on 3g only most of the time...
On ICS, using the thunderbolt radio switcher to keep me on 3g, I went from 100% to 70% battery in 30 minutes!!
I don't have any crap apps hogging battery, nor am I still playing with all the new features.
Something has got to give... I'm hoping some devs can figure this one out soon.
Hi.. I'm from Malaysia.. I received my official ICS update for my RAZR Maxx about a week ago.. And the battery performance compared to GB is the battery life decreased..
On GB i would last 1 day 12 hours plus in my normal use.. Now with ICS i can only go for average 20 hours to 25 hours max. For me there's a huge differences compared to GB.
I tried factory default reset from the OS and even from the bootloader and fully charged my handphone to 100%. But still.. The performance is still the same.. Some say we need to wait until a few cycle for the battery to improve the performance and so far i didn't see any significant improvement..
Anyone can give my any other suggestions for this problem? And i hope Motorola will come out fixes for this issue..

I have Epsilon ICS installed, run it with Nova launcher, and a darkish wallpaper. Also only the necessary widgets on the screens. I am almost positive that I have gotten less battery drain with the above- mentioned features.

I use Bootmenu to access recovery. From recovey you perform the wipes.
I use Juice Defender Ultimate to help monitor and control/toggle some phone behaviours. Information is power, use the GSam battery monitor to help you detect apps that are battery hungry. Certain adjustments can save you both battery and data. I use Friendcaster instead of the android client for Facebook. Friendcaster consumes way less battery and data than the Android client. I was aware of this after a face to face between them using both GSAM for battery and Onavo for data.
My ROM (Epsilon 3) allows for HotplugX governor, I set my governor using Setcpu.
Finally for calibration I use Battery Calibration.
Hope it helps you! :fingers-crossed:

I really have a bad battery drain, I fully charged my new Samsung Galaxy S2 from 0% battery to 100% when it was off (after a calibration).
I have set all tips for battery consuming etc, etc.. I installed BetterBatteryStats and it seems like gtalk_async_conn (Google Services) used 17% of the battery in the last 40 minutes.
Is there anything I can do to disable this? I disabled the sign-in in Gtalk settings, but it's still wasting my battery.

if you are using BetterBatteryStats no need for an own thread, there's one already (use search).
In your OP you mixed count and percent, your problem is more than gtalk if your consumption is as you said.
following the hot-to for bbs start with giving us some details about awake and screen on but do yourself a favor, let a mod close this thread and post your questions together with the missing info in the right thread.

GTalk has not used 17% as you mistakenly believe. It has used only 3.6% as per your attached screenshot. So GTalk is not the only service responsible for your battery drain.
That said, it is a fact acknowledged by almost all the owners of SGS II that Low Battery Life and Low Volume of sound output are the two sore points of this phone. Samsung should seriously do something to improve Battery Life and Sound volume of this phone. Hope something comes up in the next updates.
Maps also should be running. Must be also one of the reasons.
And juice defender also consume battery.

3 days???? Which ROM? A lot of people exaggerate here. I'm on CF Rooted stock KF3 with 200+ apps and it lasts for only about 18 hours in normal usage.
i also want to see that 3 day....
Yup juice defender is nothing if you know what your doing.
Example : if you an app and minimize it it will be running in background if you wont be using the app for quite awhile kill the app using task killer. If example you use facebook app. And you u are using it frequently but you kill it and reopen it. It will consume more battery. Only kill app that you wont use.
And disable data went not using and use 2g network when not using data.

i guess we are in the same boat then, better battery stats also show me nothing suspicous,
with little to normal use, my s2 can hardly go for 6 to 7 hours, everything off, only 3g on..
that is on stock rom, im now testing CM7 build 38
Charged 100% go recovery wipe battery stats..
It take sometime for the bateery to function properly.. a day or two.. so after the calabaration let it go to nearly 10% then charge till 100% without disturbing it.

most definitely, i was a big fan of Juice Defender Ultimate but the reality is it actually uses up almost as much as it saves, this was pointed out to me and it is 100% true, since i froze it yesterday im having superb battery life my phone wont die until tomorrow i estimate ill get up to around 40 hours with about 1 call, 15/20 texts and medium internet usage, and some music so far and ive 47% left, the battery was charged to 100% at 23.50 last night and i left it on all night with data enabled and the drain was only 6% in almost 8 hours..

I've done almost everything to fox my battery life in this thing - you name it! I did Jug's 1% battery fix, I calibrated it by draining the battery and then unplugging to get the Question Mark battery symbol and charged from there, I got a fresh battery from Anker and charged it 24 hours prior to use, I flashed numerous ROMs in full battery charge, enabled JuiceDefender and underclocked my device off screen, and YET I STILL GET 3 HOURS OF BATTERY LIFE ON SCREEN. It's probably the most frustrating technological thing I've been through in a portable device.
My radio is 1.77.30.
I'm completely tired of this phone and its battery. Should I reflash the radio? Does anybody (from ALL these amazing stories of battery life of 7+ hours of on s screen moderate" use
post their setting of ROM radio and clock to better detail? I'm desperate for anything even if it comes to complete replication.
**edit**
UPDATE: I flashed Alien the other day. It's only been two days and I'm experiencing 4 hours and a half of on screen time on a single charge.
I carry an extra battery since their so damn portable. So in total I get 9 hours of continuous use doing anything (14 hours in call.) Not bad.
I'm looking for an atrix with 2.2 (froyo,) though. It's my last measure against battery health and this phone is the best beast of a phone I'd have.
I don't use Juice Defender, nor do I truly overclock at all (besides off screen). Syncing is off. Everything else is normal. I'm thinking of applying the SuperCharger update thing. It'll probably give me a slight extra boost and I'll have 10 hours of moderate use. (real moderate use, not in pocket for 10 hours)
So yeah. Underclock to 312 mhz Max off screen using CPU Tuner and use only one core. Manually enable data by using a widget on screen called Data Enabler instead of using that program Juice Defender. Flash Alien v4. And you're done. (oh, and use Supercharger script) - which I'll do later.
Yup, i've just flashed back to complete stock and am going to try all of this over again.

The battery life is ridiculous, i shutdown wifi.....forever, 3g that i need so much for my business mails....shutdown...got SetCPU to undervolt stuff and in the end i always get the same result: less than a day of IDLE phone plain simple IDLE!!!
I got "watchdog" from market and it checks threshold of apps against the cpu, removed google+ app that was going over 20% cpu on idle, same with 2 more apps, removed.
If i power use the fone i get what, 2 hours less than if i just use it normaly...thats bad bad.
Pls post your results, i am on Orange France with faux kernel (d00 something, the international one).
What rom are you using? Mine's on Alien and I can take 2 days straight on idle. And still have 20% batt left.
I'm on Cherryblur 1.4d right now. I've been through Alien, Darkside, Ninja Speed Freak, CM7, Red Pill and stock gingerbread. Basically, I'm a ROM whore.
Hmm.. is the battery on your alien better than cherry blur?
maybe you should calibrate your battery by discharging it fully till it offs, charging it fully overnight then calibrating it using the software called "batery calibration" from the market.
For me battery life is one of my favorite things with this phone. Although to be fair I decided to stay on Stock Froyo to keep it that way. Still waiting to see how ICS will play out...

If you are constantly switching Roms like I am assuming you are doing. The battery life is going to be bad until you let one of them "Settle". I had the same issue with one of my phones getting crap battery life until I stopped switching roms constantly and the battery got used to what I was using. Once I did that the battery got quite a bit better over about a week.

I figured that to be happening, but then I never really thought it would help even if I did stock with one. I mean, what can change within a week when a ROM follows the same patter or algorithm. But ill give it a try.
What rom do you use?
Probably you thought of this already, but do you maybe use a specific soon on all the rooms roms? Maybe that app keeps your phone awake and used battery. What does the battery manager say about usage?
Darkside was what I was using before I switched over to the ATRIX 2. Don't get me wrong nothing wrong with the og I just like the size and build a bit better on the a2.
batterylife really depends a lot on the roms. even with calibrating the last cm7 nightly sucked the hell outta my battery overnight (~25% in 5h doing nothing but sleeping).
unfortunately mod-kernels don't work on cm7 b2 yet
I use Aura or The DarkSide for a ROM and I can usually get 1-2 days of battery with consistent use before I have to charge it again. It also helps battery life to not OC. I've used other ROM's, but these two seem to be the best for battery life, functionality, and speed out of all the ROM's.
Do you have any apps constantly running? Check your battery stats and see what uses the most battery. JuiceDefender has actually been reported to use more battery than it saves, especially if you're already using a ROM and/or MOD's that are suppose to help your battery life. Maybe it's just your individual device, though. There's always going to be faulty devices when it comes to technology. If you can't find a fix, I would try getting it replaced, if possible.
Then I'll stick to a ROM. I'm not sure which one I'm going to stick with. Maybe Darkside. Red Pill, however, offers some of the best comments for battery life I've heard. To choose, to choose...
And no, no constant apps running. I try to keep everything as simple as I can until I fix this problem.
my battery life has gotten a little better since i went to the Alien ROM, now getting about 10 - 12 hours before a charge. I do use my phone really heavy throughout the day though.
Huge improvement with mine. Just flashed the new cm7 and decided to give faux's kernel a try.
I don't have a problem with my battery. The massive problem is when you have LWP running. I'd get 12 hours a day during normal operation.
Form is temporary but Class is permanent. I love Liverpool FC.

flash homebase(blue chronic) with blue chronic 6.2 update and then use titanium backup to freeze gmail and all social services. also calibrate your battery by completely drain your battery and charge to full, you might need to do that a few times. with this setup i usually get 36 hours of phone idle and 2-3 hours of screen time and thats with the cpu clocked to 1.3ghz. everything is fast and smooth with this rom.
i have recently flashed decked for life ! rom and now my BRAND NEW BATTERY wont last a whole day anymore im not sure what to do
you pick up the phone and you sell sell sell. Oh your battery died...

Hi, i find this very weird, my T-Mobile G2 Touch (HTC Hero) lasts easily 2 days with 1 charge. I'm now using a ICS 4.0.1 rom made by '
Glassmacka'' and i'm verry happy with it. Before this I tried several Gingerbread roms and the Cronosproject rom was the fastest and most stable one for me and my phone lasted 2 and a half day with that rom. So I advice you to try those roms.
Cheers.

Have you tried reducing the max CPU speed in perf. settings? Higher CPU speeds increase performance at a cost of lower battery life
I've tried several gingerbread roms (Decked X, Cronos, Elelinux-7.1, Ligux) and they all drain the battery in less than 1 day. It's not terrible when my phone is just sitting there (e.g. overnight) but when I start using it the battery gets drained by about 1% each minute or two. When I look at what is using up the battery, Display is always the biggest user by far. I have brightness set to the lowest setting.
I tried a few different kernels, LV 0.5 and 1.0 and FlyKernel 13. I have the latest radio installed, 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03.
I have tried different min/max CPU frequencies but they haven't affected the battery life substantially.
Right now I'm using the Elelinux-7.1 rom with ONDEMAND governor (245/576MHz), JIT enabled, surface dithering disabled, 16bit transparency disabled, and Compcache RAM disabled.
Your help is appreciated

yeah what your saying spot on. i generally get about a day and a few hours with the decked rom. but yes there is a horrible battery drain when the screen is on. i also find that sometimes the battery will go down as much as 2% per min or two which i'm sure can't be normal
however, in standby mode the battery hardly depletes, with the decked rom i find that when in standby the battery will only deplete by maybe 1% or 2% overnight. on a few occasions i've woken up in the morning to find the battery at exactly the same percentage i left it when going to sleep
I installed EleLinux 7.1 with the last Radio, used Swapper2 and partition with Swap my Sd Card.
The battery now is 48h before charging, with normal use and 3G always connected.

Decked here (though, HabaDecked version) and my phone has: 1d, 20h, 16 mins and still 57% battery remaining. My display was using the most battery (40%) followed by Cell standby with 22%.
On topic:
You don't need to flash roms like crazy or change them because your battery life is poor. The rom entity doesn't have direct effect on the battery as the kernel has.
Leave your current rom (or install any rom you want - wipe everything), give your phone time to 'swallow' the new rom and 'settle' with it. Basically you did said that the battery is new and the battery isn't fully calibrated (which will settle down in 2 or 3 days), therefore the battery stats displays erroneous data!
So I've gradually been trying every ics Rom on xda including stock ruu leaks. With 4g off no CPU monitor or manager. The max I've gotten is 6-8 hours with less than 1 minute of screen on time on some occasions. My gb battery life is great. People are saying the latest leak is gonna be the ota if so how am I supposed to get greater or equal battery life to gb?

I'm not sure, maybe you keep getting bad installs? Maybe you should try to RUU to the latest so you can get the better radios, Idk.
I get essentially the exact same battery life on ICS as I do with GB. I posted my stats in the battery stats thread, but I can get about 24 hours off the charger, with 3.5 hours screen on with 4G on, when I'm in an area with it, on ICS and GB.
Also, by RUU are you having it flash everything, including the radios? Or are you just flashing a zip of a rom based off of an RUU?
I made sure I flashed with the ruu in hboot. And on any of them I get a fraction of my battery life. It's very frustrating. I'm s-off too. Ics just hates my phone I really hope the ota works for me. So anyone have any idea why I can't use any leak ? Should I ruu back to to stock then maybe ruu the New Ics leak?

you say screentime may be low, but does it show that your phone stays sleeping or is there a lot of awake time compared to the screentime? There might either be a rogue app or something that keeps running and wont let it sleep. Might try installing a battery monitor like Battery Monitor Widget to see what is draining your battery so much. BetterBatteryStats is a much better app, but costs $3. Bit pricey for something I might rarely use

betterbatterystats is free for xda members, just search for it
I bought betterbatterystats a couple weeks ago cause I was hoping that is was just a rogue app draining juice, but my awake time was pretty normal I dont remember the exact stats. The latest leak I just flashed turned off 4g lowered brightness and screen timeout. I didn't even install any apps so I could give the battery life a test drive. My battery dropped 15 in less than an hour without use. There's gotta be some reason why its sooo much less on ics than gb. I'm thinking about ruuing stock gb then hboot factory reset the newest ics ruu and con Rom. Anyone think it would help?

anybody can get that with an extended battery. reason it's idling that long is because you aren't using it. if you'd manage 2.5 days with over 5 hours of screen on time then I'd be impressed
It's not screen on time, but streaming Pandora or slacker for 8 hrs a day, facebook, web browsing, texts and calls throughout the day all with 4g running
I'm getting a replacement phone tomorrow so I wonder if that one can handle ics.

I had hell with ics on my phone was getting crappy battery life and some heat issues. I was getting upset because I couldn't get it to work. Finally got it up and running with good battery and hardly any heat. What I had to do was flash the ruu, go back to fastboot do factory reset, flash again, another factory reset and its now working. Most people say flash twice and do a reset but that didn't work so I did a reset between flashes and so far its doing good.
Edit added some pics. Those stats are with extended battery.

Refurb handles ics like a champ. 6 hours on battery and at 89. Old phone would have been at 60 on gb and dead on ics. Looks like a lot of issues I had on the old one weren't normal. Like flickering led for flashlight and USB port disconnecting if I moved it just a little, also my proximity sensor didn't always work. So far I'm happier with this phone.

Hi,
I'm using Xperia Neo V since last 15 months. I absolutely love my phone and don't have any issue except large battery drainage. After 6-7 months of usage, i rooted my phone and after doing so my battery started decreasing very quickly. Lately, my battery has become so dumb that it decreases 1% in 2 minutes T_T. I've tried many roms(Both GB and ICS) but the problem still persists. And then i tried a battery repair app (Paid one). After 2 unsuccessful tries to get my battery repaired. After the 3rd try, my battery became a lot better than before. It lasted for 13 hrs. After 1 week, I used the same battery repair app and my battery became even more worse. Another issue is that whenever I'm using 3G or a HD game like NFS MW, my battery would jump from 30_35 % to 1%. If i leave it as it is, my phone would shutdown. If i connect it to a charger, it would jump back to 30-35%.
I'm currently on Codename X with NE 10.1 Experimental Full.
I always turn data, WiFi, GPS off when I'm not using em and keep my brightness at low setting. Haven't installed any battery eating apps like Task Managers, FB, Whatsapp. Still my battery performance sucks T_T
I've tried my friend's battery who own a same device but still the same result. I dun think it's a prob with the battery
Please help me.
I'll be thankful to u.

Hey !!
U should take the risks when flashing an EXPERIMENTAL ROM .....
Try wiping battery stats in recovery.
try flashing a stable ROM like fxp, PA,any ROM...
Please hit 'thanks' if I helped
You must learn something. Only STOCK KENREl is that you want for best battery, perfomance etc.
ALL the custom kernel uses a lot battery without doing something, just drain your battery. also custom kernel drain your PHONE life. (CPU, ram. rom, etc) . so try flash stock kernel. I recomend Gin2jellybean rom with stock kernel.
you should have a program (like battery widget monitor pro) to watch your battery. this not doing something to your battery, just watch the use of battery.
This should help you
Dude, i have a similar problem, and i had tried a many roms, all of then, are good in the first days, but the days pass and the rom start dry my battery.
So, i had installed a new rom, and i think you should try, it's the SUPER JELLY BEAN v5.5
