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???

I've just seen the plug ins that give you extra juice. Not sure exactly what you're asking.

Screenshot required for this claim!
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!

That's because the phone will display 30%, when it's really a little less than 35%.

Hi,
I've been flashing roms onto my phone for months now and what I've realised is that the battery life is always awful. I hardly ever get past 10 hours, with just 1 hour of screen on time as my battery drains in stand by. I've tried cm7, cm9, perfect galaxy, miui, stock and many more, but my battery life always seems to be the same. Currently I'm running cmiui (latest version) and still battery is draining very fast. I read about people having amazing battery life on a daily basis.
My current battery life drains by 1% every 2-3 minutes of screen on time and about 5% of drain when in deep sleep or stand by an hour, sometimes even more. I use betterbatterystats, cpuspy and gsapp to monitor my battery but nothing suspicious occurs. Usually my 'awake' time tends to be 50% higher than my screen on time according to betterbatterystats, however all the wake locks tend to be kernel related. Changing kernel doesn't change this either. I've literally tried everything, installing several kernels, modems and calibrating my battery every time I flash a new rom.
Also what I realised is that my phone frequently overheats near the camera and even sometimes reaches 50°c.
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me on this topic. It is really frustrating that I cannot get through a day of even light use of my phone, which makes it almost unusable as I'm always concerned about my battery. I've also tried several batteries, so the problem doesn't lie with the battery.

Everytime you install a new Rom/Kernel you have to wait for it to settle down (About 2 Charging cycles). If I flash a new Rom to my device Batterydrain is very high too at the beginning. What you can do is install a Rom and a kernel which supports undervolting and underclocking.
I use Resurrection Remix ICS 2.6.1 with the Siyah 3.5.2 Kernel with this Voltage/Clock settings (LESS AGGRESSIVE UV VALUES with -50mv and not -75mv undervolting):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26755476&postcount=850
With this settings I get 16 - 18 hours easily and with about 2 1/2 -3 1/2 hours of screentime and also about over 4 hours of listening music and doing other stuff of course.
Everytime you undervolt/underclock make a Nandroid backup!
Thanks, I've heard about the battery charging cycle before, I'm new to cmiui, flashed it yesterday but I've had cm9 on for about two months and the battery life was horrendous. I will try the undervolting and see how that goes

Strange, I am on stock and can make almost whole day with 3-4h screen time. Sounds like some issue either with battery or with the phone.

I have been used 2000mah battery, miui 2.8.3 + siyah 4.0.1 kernel, no serious battery life issue :good:
I have a 1800mah battery, its actually not that much better than the stock battery, but doesn't the 2000mah add extra thickness?

Yes but it`s no thicker than your speaker part of the phone.
I'll have a look at it, I've re calibrated my battery this morning and ismt half bad so far. Its 9 o clock now and sill have 38% left with about 1.5h of screen on time, phones been unplugged for about 10 hours. I've used the undervolt setting as suggested but still loose about 4% of battery in stand by each hour. On comparison my mums iPhone 3gs looses about 1% every 3 hours. Surely the android battery isn't that much worse

If it occurs with every rom you have could it be app related, wiggets or syncing too frequently?

That's what I thought but I've analysed my apps with betterbatterystats and gsapp, nothing suspicious came up and wakelocks are always kernel related. I've tried several kernels as well

Get cpu spy from the play store to see if your device is deep sleeping. Also, you can try 1900mah anker battery. I got two and a charger off eBay for $25 can. Definitely a good deal

Mysterious indeed, all I can suggest is what I would try which is to give a custom rom call slim rom a go after full wipes and format system. Its a stripped down rom and always gives good battery life as it's so lean. Hope you find a fix soon all the best.

maybe your battery is bad i bought a great 2500mah battery on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/2500mAh-Ext...ccessories&hash=item4ab6494de0#ht_2481wt_1163
that combined with the rom OLLO MONSTER gives me awesome battery life
I might have to invest in a new battery. As I said before I've upgraded to a 1800mah battery and using that but the difference is minimal. Also I have CPU spy and it goes into deep sleep quite a bit, awake time however according to betterbatteystats tends to be about 30-40% higher than screen on time. And i'll try the suggested rom after I've given this one a few more days on the undervolting

For BBS, anything over 1% is something that needs to be fixed. Keep in mind you need a good sample time (like over 5hrs)

I've taken a few screenshots of bbs, somehow the kernel wake lock is completely empty which is odd
Also I only need the battery to last about 15h with 3-4h of screen on time to get me through the day!

FOR THOSE WITH BATTERY PROBLEMS:
1. After flashing your phone with a new ROM, install this software:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ibration&hl=en
BATTERY CALIBRATOR - 47 KB size
2. Then, charge your phone to 100%.
3. IMPORTANT. Remove CHARGER first.
3. IMMEDIATELY hit "Battery Calibration" (1 or 2 seconds delay is fine, wait for BATTERY voltage to drop and be stable)
4. Use your phone normally (don't charge in between) till it hits 1%.
5. Then charge your phone UNINTERRUPTED (leave it for charging all night) till 100%.
6. Unplug and start using. You should be having as little as 2-3% battery drain for 6-8 hours of IDLING now. That's the optimization of a calibrated battery.
ENJOY! Hope this helps!
Even Google confirmed that deleting that one file has nothing to do with battery drain,its just place where phone saves battery using from apps.

Surprisingly this issue continues to be resolved by simply following this easy trick. Worked for me, hence I shared it. Worked for good many other people. I don't see the explanation for that. As long as it fixes someone's headache, it's helpful.
You should charge your phone as often as possible. That's good for the battery.

Letting Lithium Ion get to low charges then charging it will decrease battery life, you can leave them plugged in a charger and it will be fine, just like when you leave your laptop plugged in or leaving a UPS plugged in.

actually what battery calibration really do is it makes battery percentage display on status bar more "accurate".
when you flash a new rom, old battery data is not deleted so it will be inaccurate (ex: showing 52% on status bar when your battery is at 30%)
therefore, calibration doesn't improve battery life :laugh:
Ive heard of it before. keeping your battery level between 60% and 80% help prolong your battery's lifespan.

It kinda does improve your battery life, because for instance your phone is reading 10% while the phone actually have 30% then the phone may shut down anytime because it think it has low power.

Hi I am ray
I bought a new note 4 a month ago
I needed to root it badly but I cant find any proper way, so I flashed a prerooted custom rom called nameless rom v7. It is perfect in performance yet my battery charges to a maximum 87% and when it reaches 13% my device powers off...I tried calibration and clearing dalvik and reflashing rom abd buying a new battery but none had solved my problem. Please help me. My email is (but dont publish it or abuse it) wwwwwwward8 at gmail . com (since website dont allow me to post an email full) seeking help from you. And thanks in advance. And by the way I ama game hacker so if u help me get this solved I will let u chose any game 4 me 2 hack and get it as a reward
I bought a new battery for my S2 thinking that there was some issue with the original battery. But even the new battery does't run beyond 12 hours. I am running wanamlite 14.6 with default kernel. I always keep my 2G on. Account sync is off. Power saving is on. Brightness set to minimum level. Fast dormancy is off. I have also seen that battery dies within a couple of hours on wifi connectivity. Battery usage is mainly by android OS and screen and voice calls.
Please provide suggestions how can I extend battery life to atleast a full day.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Hey
There are plenty of tutorials/guides on how to extend battery life.. all you have to do is...(yepp here is comes) Search
Close apps you don't use such as FB, FB Messenger YouTube etc. If you're on ICS/JB download Greenify. Decrease brightness. Turn off Bluetooth, WiFi, Mobile Data when you don't use it. Use 2G instead of 3G(if you don't need it).

Hi! I had the same issue just a couple of days ago, it happened with a "alternative chinese" battery.
I think you should check out the quality of the battery you got, cuz with the genuine Sammy battery, everything works okay.

so i have been using set cpu with 2265 max, 729 min, interactive, test-iosched. settings....WITH the qualcomm batteryguru app...AFTER the app figured out how i use my phone, which took about 4 days. these are my current battery stats. please note the current time up and the % of battery left. granted i will tell you i have been at work all day and have not used it to call. i have used the camera, txt, my stock trading program, and chrome. but i think its fairly effective.

It is the amount of time the screen was on. Meaning you were looking at an on screen.
Sometimes, certain apps keep your device awake and increase the screen on time.
If you go to "menu > settings > battery", you can view what is using the battery. If you click on "screen on time", it will show you exactly how long the screen has been on.

Download the app Wakelock Detector from the Play Store.
Open it for the first time right after you unplug your phone
After some deep sleep occurs for awhile, open Wakelock Detector and select the icon in the top right to select "Wakeup Triggers"
This will show you which app waked the device when it was trying to sleep(=screen off) and how many times it waked it. Figuring out Google wakelocks will probably help you the most unless you have some poorly written or rogue app
A good start would be to remove ALL google apps that you don't use, and turn off google ads as well as notifications and scheduled checks within say...Play Store and Youtube and Gmail

yeah, sorry for not putting that on screen time in here...it was low...barely used the phone...maybe 2 hours. i just thought this was pretty cool on the S3, while it was a great phone, even if i didnt use the device at all using the same setcpu and battery guru i would get about 15 hours max out of it. i get about the same time as blitzed26 with decent use...about 15-17 hours which i am extremely happy with!
