Did you do the full charge with phone off right out of the box like FoxKat suggests? What are your settings? Are you using 4G all day are you in a good or bad 4G area? There are a lot of factors that can help/hurt your battery life. Are you using any smart actions?

And now I'm at 57% since my last posting which wasnt too long ago :( I'm on 4G most of the time and i use the smart actions but doesnt seem to help. Although the faceboom app seems to run 24/7

Try uninstalling facebook and using friendcaster for a little bit or set a tasker kill on facebook so it gets turned off after 2 minutes when screen is off. Also try setting it to 3G only for a while to see if it helps slow your battery drain do some trial and error I bet you will find the cause.

How can i do a smart action that turns off facebook?

Great. Now I'm down to 49% with a little more fb use. Wtf? Battery is even worse than normal today :(

I deleted the fb app. Maybe it will help. Battery is now 30% after 4 1/2 hours with 2 1/2 hours of screeb time mostly with fb. This is horri le!!

Did you try turning off 4G and only using 3G? It could be part of the problem.

I tried turning off 4g with my previous Max and it did nothing :(

You will likely find things work much better from then on.

I am in the middle of trying your re-calibration instructions. I charged to 100% from 20% and after 18 hours my phone is already at 50% with minimal use.

When I first got my Maxx I would get almost 2 days out of my battery. Then 4 days ago I have been lucky to get 20 hours out of it. The main thing that I noticed was when I looked at Battery Use it showed Smart Actions using a lot of battery. The only two Smart Actions I run are: Low Battery Saver & Sleep. At one time I had Juice Defender w/Ultimate Juice, but I uninstalled.

I run my maxx on 4g 24/7!!! As long as I can get a full day (5am-10pm) out of it, I don't give a rats .... about only having 40-30% left!!!! I've been a smartphone owner since the Treo 650 and always knew that a smartphone would need to be charged every night.

I don't understand why so many are trying to get days off a single charge! You gotta go to sleep at some point, so plug the phone up!!! Is it really so hard to do?
