Battery Life after OTA? - Motorola Droid RAZR

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.

My battery life has worsened a lot, so you are not alone.

My battery life is vastly improved. I do have google plus shut off though.

Mine is about the same or better. I'm still observing. I was on unrooted and unmodified stock before I upgraded manually.

Mine seems to be about the same as well.

Same here... as much battery as in ics...

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.

I get good battery life. I also use the battery script.

Erratic battery reporting on 2.3.4 update

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.

Must have been a fluke. Today isn't the same story.

I've noticed the same thing, since flashing Eclipse v1.0
Seems to be a bug in the SBC file. Hopefully we have a fix after the soak test. Or maybe nitro will take a stab at it.

This is a very annoying bug. I went back to 2.3.3 until it's fixed.

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...

Battery life? Eclipse 2.1

hey guys simple question, I flashed eclipse ROM v2.1 and I love it so far except one thing, the battery life sux, I mean when I was stock 2.3.4 rooted I froze a bunch of apps and my battery life was pretty impressive. So I can only relate this to that eclipse is performance based and needs a little more battery? So basically is their a method to getting more battery life or am I stuck.

Have you added any modifications since you flashed Eclipse? Have you added a significant amount of widgets or apps that run in the background? How has your brightness level and usage of device been (more or less than before?)
A majority of the people (myself included) feel that eclipse is great on battery. I use my phone constantly with the brightness on full and the second core script and the battery life is totally fine.

Did you calibrate battery? Also battery life for what, stand-by or usage? Stand-by I can get 2 says easily with just texting and calls. A normal usage, maybe 5 - 6 hours and I can even kill it in less then an hour If need be.

My battery life was a little less with Eclipse than on stock, too. CM7 batter life is even worse but still very acceptable. On stock I would easily get 2 days and some change. With Eclipse I'd get a little over a day, and CM7 a little less. What makes me wonder if being on a better ROM makes us use our phones more because it works so much better vs. stock. I can't stand my phone on stock so I usually don't mess with it.
No my friend everything has been pretty much left alone. I use the performance monitor for shutting down background apps, and have even froze the social media apps(twitter, fb,Skype). Huh

Give the calibration a try and see if there was a mismatch between readings. Maybe something is running harder than usual.

I would be more apt to say the drain was the norm high drain that the first couple days after flashing any ROM sees, yhe "recal" just wipes the stats of the battery doesn't change the amount of power you have or use
from my X2 roaming the north
Yea ur probably right about the high drain after flash because it seems the longer I'm on this ROM the better the battery is performing

I can usually go all day with moderate usage (games/reading on bus, checking internet, etc.) without too much worry about battery life. I heavily rely on Juice Defender and usually turning off wifi unless I need it. I probably should clock it. I'll have to do it once I settle into my new ROM.
very nice

JB battery life XT912 stock no wifi

As noted in title. No WiFi here folks. No plugging in go bump up the numbers.
Google Now is not enabled and data/background sync off when screen is off.
All 4g when the phone isn't dropping data when at home although it is considerably better with JB.

LOL, but overall you're battery life has been much improved?
From my experience with a XT910 loaded with XT912 JB kernel+rom, battery life is at least %40 better and it doesn't have battery drain issues. I can surf the web over 3g without fear
I think JB brought us back to GB battery consumption. With ICS it seemed to drop some. Have not experimented with leaving data on all of the time though.

Razr Maxx getting hotter

I bought motorola razr maxx then update OTA to ICS and used for about 2 days. I feel my phone getting hotter while use for few minute. The Back case get warm and screen getting hot while i put on my cheek like to make a call. I check battery temp is about 36-38 celcius. Phone get normal again quickly when not use for a moment. Is it normal? If not i will return back to the store
I have charge this phone for the first time while phone off until full. I get about 1 day with not often use, about 8 hour phone idle but connected to wifi. I charge again while phone off till full again and i use until now, i get 12 hour 40 minutes with 40% battery connect to 3G. Is it normal or its not quite longer battery life for motorola razr maxx.

I like to use stock ROM coz network coverage better with stock ICS rather than other android phone I used. Could you give list of unnecessary system app that safe to remove? i'm afraid if I remove important system app that can make my phone unstable
there is a list with every safe system app you can freeze, and it is in the android development section. you will find it

signal is good and I use automatic brightness. I didn't try to Full Wipe, i try to OTA to ICS after first charge complete. Now i would to do cycle battery for 3 times. After that i will full wipe and i hope everything will fine.

latest ICS is stable, all right. but JB is a lot faster and battery friendly (soak=test version, in verizon case official update)
I strongly suggest that after you get used with the phone, you move to JB update
btw using latest stock verizon JB, my phone tends to get hotter. but not the case with some custom rom running the same leak

i'm use non DROID device and i'm in indonesia so it would be Asia version. I dont know my phone will get JB update or not, there are lot of speculation that only Europe version will get JB. Maybe i will try install with JB official Europe with CID modification but now i'm wait for JB Official for my country. i guess some motoblur application make CPU work hard although i dont add account to motoblur
