The options I have is Global, LTE/CDMA, and GSM/UMTS. LTE is 4G right? And I want CDMA but they are combined.

That is in the actual phone settings, right? LTE/CDMA is 4G and 3G, global is for traveling outside the US ... you can download the LTE On/Off app to set it to CDMA (3G) only ... by selecting "CDMA auto (PRL)"

I just started being smart with smart actions lol. Every time my phone screen goes off my data shuts off. Same way when I plug in headphones for the gym. Shut data off. Seems the only way to truly get the most out of your battery. All though this screen shot doesn't reflect it but I have done a lot on my phone and its been at 30% for quite awhile. I'm amazed at the battery of this thing.

If you are on ICS holding the Power Button and the Volume Down button at the same time will do a screenshot :)

I had to post again. This shutting down the data when screen is idle really seems to do the trick.

I believe 3.5 hours I'd the correct charge time for original RAZR.

Actually 3 hours for the RAZR, 5.5 hours for the MAXX, but those numbers are for when the phone is powered off. It can take considerably longer off the phone is on, and as some have described it can even go backwards off the phone is doing communication intensive work with the screen on, such as navigation while streaming music.

Thanks for the correction. So the only way you'd be getting a faster charge to 100% would be if the battery meter was extremely off and weren't really getting a full charge, or maybe with an incorrect charger? Would that be right foxcat? And i can't imagine that being good for the battery.

I must give Foxkat a thank you - I am one not happy with ICS, but at least with his advice I am getting 12 hours of battery usage. So FoxKat, thank you.
