Just an update.... I'm off the charger for 15 hours and 18 minutes.... 50% left. VERY impressed. I'm a heavy user as far as text and voice. I don't stream videos or play games. I did have an hour of Pandora at the gym. This phone has been a total "PASS" for today. Previous threads say that battery life will get better. Even if it doesn't I'm so stoked to start at 0730 and go to bed at 1100p with 50% left. Very happy here...

1 st charge and after 12 hours I'm at 51% with pretty heavy usage. This battery is a beast and will get better.

It charged fully minutes after my post at 710pm.

I have been using it quite a bit since then. Browsing the internet. Texting. Multiple phone calls. A few YouTube videos. Rearranged everything on the phone. Removed unwanted crap from menu. Surfed Reddit some. Used Maps and Lattitude as usual. Downloaded a few things. Full brightness. 4Glte with it dropping to 3g every now and then. WiFi was on for a few, and back off. WeatherBug running live.

50% as of the post time

Yesterday after first charge I took it off at 7am and when I put it back on at 1am it was at 40%. AWESOME! I was only on wifi for about 4 hours of the day and the rest was 4g. Had some Bluetooth audio streaming as well.

Seriously impressed with battery. Heavy data use for several hours today on 4G (wifi off and 25% display). I am at 14 hours and just rolled to 40% battery remaining. Definitely an ALL Day battery. Probably 2 days with modest use I presume. I traded the Razr in on Verizon's 14 day return policy. I was getting decent battery life with the Razr but couldn't pass up the Maxx considering it was the same price.. Very Happy

Just got the Maxx yesterday, came from the Razr which I had since 11/11/11. So far the battery life is phenomenal. I didn't have a big problem with the Razr battery life and loved the phone, but I had the chance to get the Maxx by handing the Razr down to an employee (a very happy employee now!).
I'm so impressed with the battery life that I felt the need to post here. I'm on 11 hours 50 minutes with 75% battery left with moderate use. The Razr would have been about half that left by this time. I'm very pleased! :)

android os...22% - cpu total 1hr 40 min 57sec

Ended up plugging in after 21 hours of pretty normal use and was at 30% battery remaining. Long day for me. Gaming and web on 4G data early and then wifi at home. Took pics and several short videos.

Finally plugged in at 22% left, and this was heavy use for me. 20 minute phone call, tons of text and emails, quite a bit of web browsing, using the camera, uploading to Facebook and Dropbox, playing Wordfued, using the Battlefield 3 Stats App.

Third charge and I'm at 51% after 11 hours 4G podcast streaming, Netflix vid at breakfast, constant playing, CDMA/LTE, 3 email apps and 3 rss news feeds.

I've just started to use smart actions and I feel this is just the beginning. Woo Hoo!

Hey wait a minute, smart actions started on it's own and asked me how I wanted my ringtone volume at home, wow how did it know?
