question about the battey from heavy user...

[PatG]

Interesting reading... I currently have the Rezound which is a great phone. Except the battery is god awful. I wonder how the DNA would compare to that phone?

I also hate the bulkiness of extended batteries. That's why I haven't gotten one for my Rezound

So what you are saying is you are "offline" when you turn your screen off so you wont be receiving any emails etc unless you turn your phone back on? have your phone lasted for you on a day out with no wifi and some mod-heavy use such as shopping outside with price checking/web browsing etc? I have no real concerns on my everyday activity but more about "no wifi" if i am out and about.

Absolutely! Would end the day with 30% or so. Weekends are like this. The only thing offline are my email accounts. Calls & texts come through. Keep in mind, I am always looking at my phone for some reason or another so I do not notice being "offline". What I notice is how much battery it saves to not sit on 4G all day long when most of the time, it is in my pocket. I just started doing this for a week and am surprised that it is not noticeable when you have a program managing it.

I have read a million of these posts across 5 different phones in the past 5 years with people claiming amazing battery life. Yes the DNA requires battery management. I loved the Maxx battery for the past year and swore never to get another phone that did not have 3000mA battery or more. But I got bored and I wanted a 5" screen so the DNA fit and I have found a way to make the battery work without issue.

Side note: the wireless charging is awesome. Would never go back to plugging in.

New phones are like new girlfriends. There are things you like and things you don't and you just have to learn to get used to them all. And if she is hot then your acceptance goes up.

While I admit I am fascinated with the dna ,I did decide on the RAZR Maxx HD...I consider the DNA as a stepping stone to better phones in the near future. In the meantime, I am enjoying superior battery life,the same operating system,and extended storage all while having every feature enabled GPS etc...
What I have noticed on this forum is how in order to get better battery life on the dna ,many people are shutting off features in order to extend battery life. Why, when given a choice of devices ,one would choose a device that they can't use all of its features all of the time while still getting incredible battery life is beyond me...all for a nicer screen?

As I mentioned in my earlier post I get through a day easily with pretty heavy use without turning off any features. We all like our phones for personal preferences, mine just happens to be the DNA for, screen, form factor, and how it feels in
my hand. Enjoy whatever phone you choose.
