Hello I have ordered this phone despite the fixed battery, but I do have a few concerns. Coming from a droid 2, the phone could not charge a dead battery for some strange reason so I had to use an external battery charger.
So my question is can a droid RAZR charge a completely dead battery with a generic micro-USB charger?
And has anyone had any battery problems?

Yes - this phone can be charged using a generic charger. I have had this phone for almost a year and a half, and I've used countless chargers on it - all worked. Now, I dropped my phone in paint, which killed the microphone, so I did a warranty exchange for a refurbished model. My previous one worked like a champ - no crashes, excellent battery life, etc. The replacement is still working great, only I have to charge it a few times a day. To fix this I ordered a replacement EB40 battery off ebay and replaced the non-replacable battery. It wasn't all that tough, and now the battery lasts days. I felt like I got a new phone all over again!
Anyways - long story short (too late) - the battery holds up exceptionally well, you can still force reboot if/when necessary, and you can use any charger. And, should the need rise, it IS possible to replace the battery so long as you're brave enough to open up the phone.

This man speaks the truth about eb40 replacement every $ is worth it

You should also consider getting a "factory" cable. They're specially configured to bypass the battery so that you can access the phone even if the battery is dead. The bootloader won't charge your battery.

To answer you question, no, you can't charge a dead battery unless you have a factory cable, which is wired a bit differently than the one that usually comes with the phone. It is wired so the phone can bypass the battery and get the juice straight from the cable, which allows it to go through its whole boot up sequence, in turn allowing it to begin regular recharge.
I've had some battery issues very early in my phone's life cycle. It would sometimes, out of the blue, turn itself off, as if the battery had reached a critical state, but I can't quite remember what I did to fix it, sorry.

I dont know if i just have a bad battery in my phone but ive had it about a week now. No matter how much i use it even if i dont use it at all i can pull it off the charger at 7am and by 1030 or eleven its dead. Ive tried multiple roms to see if it helped but nothing. So my question is do droid x batteries work for this phone too? Ive been searching amazon for extended batteries and it seems like most are for droid x but some say that they are for both. Also does anyone else experince this? With the way the battery is on 2.3.4 i go from full to 15 percent out of nowhere. Im hoping an extened battery will at least allow me to get a full day of work out of it. If someone could link me to a good battery theat they have used that would be great too. Thanks.
Are you heavily calling, texting, gaming, etc during the time your phone's battery is rapidly gaming? Do you have your brightness turned all the way up? Do you allow account synching in the background? All of these are the main causes of battery drain, though they shouldn't drain it quite that quickly. You could very well have a bad battery. Try downloading app/widget battery left, charge up to 100%, and check the voltage on the battery. If less than 4.2 volts, it could mean a battery issue. However even if at 4.2, I can't gaurentee battery health.
Yes, Droid X batteries do in fact work for our phones. I'm actually using the Trident Electra case and battery meant for the X. I highly recommend it, I love the battery life (3 or so days without charging) and the protection the case offers.
Hope I could help!
Yea I hardly use ny phone for calls. And text. Mainly emails and just browsing the forums from time to time. But I manually sync my accounts. Just for this reason. But I have nevr seen anything like this. I have battery minored widget pro voltage is fine the graphs are hilarious to look at since the phone will go from 100 to 93 then drop knew by one to 80 then it drops to 47 and with a half hour of that its at fifteen and as soon as the low battery indicator comes on I hit ok and a minute later its dead.
Well hopefully problem solved ordered a two battery combo with wall charger. 3500mah

Dead like your phone shuts off? Or the phone % tells you its dead? My extended battery has never read correctly, right now its shows 1% at 3.997v thats most of a charge yet
from my X2 roaming the north
I'm having some problems to. Today was the first day I really kept track of how fast my battery drained itself and my God, I feel like my phone should win an award for most juice lost in 4 hours.
I downloaded Easy Battery Saver from the market and started to use a battery widget to monitor my battey life and it honestly seems like the app is working. Give it a try and see how you like it.

I was under the impression that both the X and the X2 used the same battery (BH5X).
If I am wrong, someone please correct me...
They use the same battery. Have you tried calibrating? Charge to 100% then go to spare parts> battery info> then battery voltage. What is it?
Tapin' the Talk on the xSquared
What frequency do you have your email to check. If you have your email on push then the battery will die a lot faster also. I can kill my battery in 4 hours with non stop use. Orbit baby's it 15 he's has been my best. And yea the x and x2 use same battery my spare is from my Droid x and they are the same part number.
Thanks a lot for all the help guys I got the extended battery which helped a little. But I sold the phone already. Couldn't handle being so restricted.

Ive been using 1800s lately..2 of them that i charge with an external charger that came with them. Usually getting around 18 hrs at normal/heavy use. Considering i was lucky if i ever made it 12 hrs on the stock 1500, it was a good deal.
So both 1800s were dead and the plug in charger wasnt charging for some reason...phone kept restarting.. so i popped in the stock as a last resort and it made it 1 day 13 hrs and might have kept going if i hadnt taken it out at 4%. Really??
What changed it? I had charged it on the external charger and itd been sitting unused for a few weeks. Or does the phone adjust to longer cycle times when using extended batteries?
Ill have repeat the experiment and see if i get the same results.

Some higher power decided you deserved an ungodly amount of battery life considering two 1800's broke on you
I've no idea as to why this would happen. You got quite lucky my freind!
Just to clarify for future reference, battery calibration has never been and never will be relevant in accurate battery readings. It tracks what hardware and software on the phone have used the battery, nothing more.
Anyway, I don't have an answer for you. The fact that you got significantly less battery from your 1800's as opposed to your recent stock battery experience simply doesn't make sense. Could you have been using one of your 1800's and not realized it? I know that sounds silly, but that drastic improvement from a considerably weaker battery is illogical. I think you're missing something.
I could be wrong though, and for your sake I hope I am. I hate the stock battery. It's horrendous. Trident 3800mah ftw!
I am a heavy user most days. I turn the data off most nights and mostly just use wifi at home. I didnt play as many vids or any games that day but none of that matters most of the time. Light or heavy use and i usually get crappy battery life. The 1800s being the exception. Not broke...i just hadnt had time to charge them..the external charger is very slow..im talking 6 or more hrs for a full charge. So honestly no idea how my stock battery outlasted my 1800s... im going to put it on the external charger and try it again next battery change. Couldve been a fluke.

Obvious lack of a read is obvious. Please, do read the entire original post before making a response. It comes across as rude, and is simply not productive. It isn't necessary.
Thanks!
It was definitely the 1500... the batteries look different and the 1500 actually counts down accurately...was nice having that again for a change. The 1800s i have seem more for the atrix than the x2 or theyr from a batch that just dont report accurately. It goes from 99 down to 1% within the first few hrs and then just stays at 1% for the majority of the charge. So i never know when its going to shut off on me.
The 1500 is charging..so ill give it another go whenever the 1800 thats in now dies.

Mine has done that also, more than once. Doesn't seem to effect anything though. Seems to go away after a battery pull. Weird.
It mustve been a fluke. Used the 1500 again and got maybe 16 hrs. Thats still longer than what i usually got out of it when it was my daily. Letting it die completely and then using the external charger does seem to extend the charge cycle a bit..but thats nothing new.

I agree with you. I find it amazing to get that much battery life. I am using a knockoff 3800mah and would not trade it for the world. Especially since I got it for 15$ including shipping!

That big drop off at the end always happens to me when I upload a big video to dropbox or I sync my T-backup to dropbox.
I don't have Wifi at home.
I have seen it mentioned in here a couple times now about "letting the battery die completely" don't you all realize how HORRIBLE that is for the life of a Li-on battery?! these batteries were DESIGNED to last longer and stay "healthier" when you plug in when it gets down low on charge (say 15-5% with 5% pushing it cuz its gonna shut off real soon) tho I do understand it's difficult to gauge when to plug in using a 1800mah(aka Bh6x battery) due to inaccurate readings by the system (it's best to use a widget that will show in real time the voltage left and when it gets low throw it in charger).
ALL these battery "calibration" apps& techniques have been lieing, they almost all day to drain battery completely when that's just a bad idea (not to mention "calibration" isn't actually necessary IMO anyways)

I see those "empty spaces" sometimes as well, usually happens if I have rebooted, pulled battery, gone into BSR , time got screwed up somehow (I set time manually most of time cuz i found using automatic setting seems to make my phone wake up for no apparent reason..if I need to reset time I just check the automatic box for a minute and the time/date goes to what it should be then I uncheck it)

I just bought another battery. I found it was the battery more than port problems or anything like that. My friend and I have the same phones, same roms. We tested this by first going through 3 power cycles. After we charged it, we had only the same apps working, except for some minor checking of FB and twitter (I don't use twitter, but he does).
After our 4th power cycle, it seemed like his phone was dying faster w/ my battery in it. His battery in my phone lasted about 5-10 hours more, I did my normal daily activities on it, even played some youtube videos in class.
So I bought a new one, and bam, stays alive more than 12 hours

Common sense post of the day:
You have to be really careful getting phone accessories off e-bay. In the past I've been duped into buying a fake SD card and a wonky battery.
Does such a thing exist? The battery life on the DNA is killing me, I am considering trading this back to VZW for the Galaxy S3 since I'm still in my 14 day trial.
Basically I'm looking for a case that you "charge" and doubles as a case and a charger, once the charge on the case runs out, it goes back to the battery.

Somethings wrong with your phone if you have to charge it 4 times in a day. There aren't enough hours in a day for that to be necessary. Even if you don't sleep and never put your phone down.

I don't believe this is the typical way to guage a battery's life span. Basically what you are saying is that you would need to charge your battery from empty twice a day. Given the amount of use put on your phone that is extremely good. That's about 10 hours of screen on time and there are very few phones that come close to that. The note2 being the one exception I can think of off the top of my head. It's not a problem with your phone it's a symptom of how you use it.

Does such a thing exist? The battery life on the DNA is killing me, I am considering trading this back to VZW for the Galaxy S3 since I'm still in my 14 day trial.
Basically I'm looking for a case that you "charge" and doubles as a case and a charger, once the charge on the case runs out, it goes back to the battery.

Ironic, my DNA gets a few more hours of battery than my S3 does. Just to warn you so you don't start this same thread in the S3 forum....

I've also been wondering about who made some nice mophie style juicepack cases. I loved them on my iphone, I barely used it, but when I needed it certain days it was really nice to have. I'll be getting my girlfriend a DNA, and I know it's something she's been wanting also since our late poodle (RIP lil Oscar) at the top half of the one for her iphone.
I actually get about 12 hours of hard usage, with very light I've seen 30. I haven't seen better battery life on anything I've owned.

If u barely touch ya phone I'm sure ull get that battery life. In those 12 to 30 hour days what's your screen on time? If it's a hour or 2 then all that mean is the phone is good at not draining while idol which means nothing to me.

Sooooo does anybody have a lead on a charging case?
I don't think it exists for this phone closest thing your going to get is a portable battery bank which can be plugged into the device to charge it but that's about it.

I get an average of 3-4 hours screen on time per charge and that's usually stretched over 12-15 hours...

is it possible to flash this phone (Atrix 4g) without a battery and only the wall charger connected? i've did some search and couldn't find anything specific on this phone but it seem like its not possible to do so on android. maybe i'm wrong cuz today i was having some freezing problems and i did a battery pull but before i reinsert the battery out of curiosity i connected the wall charger and booted into recovery. of course i didn't do a wipe and flash to test it out myself since i don't have the time for all of that but i got into recovery without the battery. is that normal and does that mean you can flash a rom without a battery?
I think so... but be warned that any energy fail will lead to a possible brick of ur atrix

good to know it works. thats great. now no more worrying about battery when flashing a ROM (sometimes i'm just too impatient to wait till my battery charge to flash a new ROM. we all know that little feeling we get when a new ROM comes out)
now i can just leave my charged plugged in with the battery.. if battery fails the wall charger should continue.. all my electronics are connect to a backup battery so i don't think i ever have to worry about the wall charger losing power. those battery go for 2 - 3 hours
I don‘t think so！don’t do this
