maxx battery disappointment

[valglbgl]

I have never really gotten good or great battery life with the maxx but it was better than my Droid X. Here is my screen **** from my use since 6 or so this am. Any suggestions? I guess i need to try a FDR.

Wow that looks more like a regualr Razr's battery. Have you tried going through the battery conditioning (FoxKatting)?

 

[valglbgl]

Yes. I did that just this week

Are you running .211 or have you side loaded to .215?

 

[valglbgl]

.211 i believe

Many users have reported better battery life after upgrading to .215. MattyP has a thread that walks through how to do it and and a lot of user comments. You might want to read through that thread. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr-support/217843-mattyps-215-leak-classroom.html It couldn't hurt.

I would also back up all of my data and go ahead and do an FDR.

Yes that's my thought too. My phones hot alot too.

Oh and smoke. No red velvet around here. Lol.

Are you using smart actions??

You should try setting battery extender. It will help.. but I'm looking at your screen shot.. and it looks like you have about 3 hours of screen on time...

If so... then you're doing fine. My maxx's will give me about 6 hours of screen on time. No other device is going to do that.. without the extended battery.

Just thought I'd show you how similar your Maxx time looks to my regular Razr.View attachment 54382

Yes, it is disappointing because the only thing I did on it was have one phone call for about 30 minutes, yahoo messenger for about 30 minutes and reviewed email and facebook. That took me down to 50% battery, I was a 40% an hour later.

I wonder if I shouldn't call and complain to Verizon about the battery life. I paid alot for this phone expeccting great battery life and it may last me until 5 pm if I am lucky or 7 pm if I am conservative on my use.
