I don't know why, but all of a sudden my MAXX has suddenly started getting TERRIBLE battery life. I can barely last a day anymore! By noon I'm down to 50% with little use! I have never been able to go more than a day with my MAXX, but it's gotten ridiculous lately. Here are some screen shots of my battery use screen.
Anyone know what could be causing this? By the way, I'm using Eclipse ROM.

PS this is the battery life I used to get with the same device. This was about 2 months ago, and I don't think I've ever been able to achieve that since then.

Not to hijack, but Im coming to the Maxx from the gNEX ( ****ty-est battery Ive every had.. ) What Ive heard is that the maxx battery degrades fairly quickly and takes longer to charge as time goes on... True? Guessing this isnt the case for the OP

Not sure on that , I am havin a Maxx no problems on charge time so far ... but when I use a universal travel charger I did notice that the charge time was almost double. We need to check this with other users to confirm.

The extra charge time could be because of a low amperage output on that travel charger. Do you know what the amperage is? If you want maximum charging speed, you would need a charged with 1 amp output.

Yeah, that's the reason, while you get 800 mA when charging from AC, you just get max 350-400 mA when you do from car/USB connection, so you'll need double time to make a full charge

Hi guys,
Has anyone else been experiencing less than satisfactory battery life upon installing the GB update? This morning after I took my unit off of its charging dock it was fine. An hour later in the office (with no incoming calls or other usage by me) and the damn thing dropped to 80%!! That has never happened before. Is there an add-in or something to counteract this drainage?
HELP.
TIA
The "Soak Testers" have been warned that there is a lot of syncing that goes on the first day of a build, and since these are all totally clean installs, the battery info could be off. Wait a couple days and see what happens.
I had the same issues. I calibrated the battery this morning on a full charge and it is much better.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&feature=search_result
Been on the stock release since Friday & my battery has steadily improved. Im going on 14hrs off the charger with 20% left. This is better than my fascinate on cm7.
Edit: sorry, just saw this was for the prerooted release.

I have actually seen a boost in battery life. While i was on 2.2 I did all that i could to get through 3/4 of a day on a full charge. Now, with similar usage, I have been going to bed with 50% battery remaining.
On the topic of battery life, I have been playing around with Juice Defender Plus. Essentially it turns off my 3G and wifi radios when my screen is off. Does anyone know if that constant turning on and off of the radios uses more battery than if i just leave them on?
I bet I have at least 20 things I froze on titanium backup..
so sad all this **** is on this phone
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA Premium App
When i got the X2 I would get the low battery alarm between 4 and 5 pm under moderate use on average. I purchased the BH6X battery, which allowed me to get to the end of the day with 30 - 40 % usually. Since the update, I'm back to gettting the low battery notification by dinner time. I reset my battery stats yesterday, hopefully we'll see an improvement in the next couple days.
Usage: 40% screen, 30% phone idle, 7% cell standby...
I ordered that battery last night, should be interesting

P3 didn't modify how the phone handles battery life, people have this issue on both versions, I read another post that said if there is any remnants of 2.2.2 on the phone it may be causing this, I think that is why they recommend you sbf, factory reset, wipe all caches, then update, if you have the time/ energy try it and let us know how it works.

I flashed the newest update (2.3.4) this last weekend and although its been great with battery life, I cant seem to get the actual reporting to settle in.
When I take it off the charger its reporting 100%, and throughout
the day it obviously drains the battery. The problem is when I reboot the phone, it starts back up reporting 10-20% higher battery life then when I shut it down. So in reality, I have more battery life left then whats being reported.
I charged to 100% and wiped battery stats using bootstrap. Then drained the battery all the way, and charged all the way back to a full charge.
Can you guys think of anything else that may fix this issue?

I noticed this as well, I thought it was my Mugen Power battery giving false reports but it looks like it isn't the case..
I just don't reboot as often now, can't say I've noticed any problems other than that. My battery life has been excellent!

I normally can go about 14 hours or so off the charger. This past cycle, I went 36 hours, with normal use

Standard battery? Wow
I have never seen a number higher than 14hrs for me. But then again I am CONSTANTLY on my phone.
I want an extended battery but I like my otterbox to much. So I just carry a spare in my wallet.

Indeed it will, anything built from the 2.3.4 update will have the bug unless devs find a way to properly fix it.
i hope a fix comes soon but it pry won't be from motorola. i don't see them sending out an update just for one issue unless they have some other issues to fix that i haven't heard about yet. hopefully sooner than later
I have this also, as well as random reboots.
2.3.4 didn't really do much for me, the only real difference I notice were that random reboots now happen every 2 or 3 days instead of every day.
ya that's not good, the update was supposed to stop that. they've been doing these updates and creating the OS for all these devices for so long now id think they would have it pretty much down by now. maybe they need to do more testing before releases...idk...

This is the original one I believe
So whenever I charge the phone and it's on 100% fully charged for a while, as soon as I disconnect it drops to 99% instantly. I have LTE turned off and am just running 3G as well, but as soon as I disconnect it drops instantly. Bug? Any ideas?
Normal operation. These batteries have overcharging protection built in. It'll charge to 100% then stop & begin to discharge. It may get down to 96-97% before it begins to trickle charge again. If you pull it from the charger during this process, the actual charge gets displayed.

Thanks for the tip. I have been used to the battery on my MT4G which didn't operate the same way, but is nice to know.
I won't be using this phone long however. Just until the Gnex hits.

Same here. I like this phone and see thr GN is having issues of it's own. This one is a keeper.
Verizon has a holiday return policy that says any smartphone bought between now and Dec 28th can be returned until January 8th.

Hi, i'm currently on the s2 and am kinda bored of it and as i'm a real battery freak i'm thinking of getting the razr maxx. i've tried looking for screenshots of screen on time and standy time but i can't seem to find any for the maxx. So if any of you guys have the maxx could you please share with me your experiences? many thanks:good:
Been havinf the maxx fora month now..pure bliss .. i dont have my hands tied down to restrict activities to avoid battery draineage.. 3 - 4 days with daily 3-4 hrs wifi , 1-2 hrs of gaming(nova, b&G) , music and 3G..
*no screenshot*
Still on Stock 2.3.6 avaiting ICS.. soon!
I have screens, but cannot post them yet.
I have both, RAZR and RAZR MAXX. One feels the urge to connect it very often. Though I only charge it at night. I run ICS on the maxx and battery life is outstanding
From RAZR MAXX by XDA
Screen on time for anyone with a Maxx should be above 3hrs easy...just depends on the usage that the person will have. Total usage just depends, I can usually go over 2 days on normal usage and heavy usage I can still make it through the day without having to worry
This is on my razr maxx.

Has anyone noticed a difference with battery between the Xmas leak and the recent OTA? Seems like the battery life on my device isn't as good. This is after an SBF and cache wipes.
Just curious on everyone else's experience.

well i maybe get a max of about 5 hours on my Razr with the ICS, I cant get the newest update to install on my phone, I've been trying all morning
on ota i had about 2 1/2 days .. thats more than ICS ever had on my phone.
:good:
When I used US Verizon JB, the battery last longer than EU Vodafone's. I would have preferred to use the Vodafone version so I don't have to see the CID error every boot but battery life is more important.
Battery life was awful, phone wouldn't sleep, so I performed factory reset which solved the issue. Now battery life is perhaps even slightly better that it was with ICS, but I lost root.
Worse. MUCH worse.
My wife's fully stock RAZR MAXX ICS used to be around 75% or so after a day of moderate use. After the JB OTA update, she is seeing battery levels around 40% or so, even on days o f light use.
And, we are not alone. I have other friends experiencing the same problem.
Has anyone identified the source of the problem?
It was great in ics but in jb it was improved a lot.
