Unhappy Battery life and warranty

Hello

Recently the battery on my phone very quickly discharged.
The phone is after a hard reset without any applications installed.

When it is almost unused batteries lasts about 5 hours
android os 88%
phone idle 5%
display 4%
stanby mobile 3%

When surfing the Internet or make the call battery is discharged after 1-2 hours.


I'm going to send the phone for warranty repair in UK.
Has anyone had a similar problem?
How long will it take to repair it?

Looks like some application is using up lots off battery. Try resetting your phone, install apps one by one.. If student you lose battery life that's the culprit.

It's not an app that's using up battery life, it's the "Android OS" itself. Uninstalling apps would have a small effect.
Though I do recommend a factory reset, it could be a setting that is using up all this battery.
^^^^^^^^Thank me if you found my post informative or helpful.^^^^^^^^

Unhappy Battery usage when turned OFF???

I've seen something that really surprised me. I have two Razrs, nearly identically configured. One of them I turn off most of the week except when I need to tether. I charge it once a week.

I thought this was a fluke, but it's happening consistently since ICS:

It used to be when I charged the battery once a week, this phone was nearly completely charged and only took a minute or so to reach 100% charge.

Now under ICS, when I plug the phone in for charging once a week, the battery meter reads below 50% and takes a couple of hours to charge up to 100%.

What has changed with ICS?

Is there something still running when I turn the phone off now? It would seem to me that OFF should mean OFF.

Or, is the ICS battery meter more accurate? Or does the meter need to be reset to 0 somehow? I did do a factory reset after installing ICS.

Any shared wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

With those stats, there's nothing wrong with the battery. I've never seen the Android OS use more power than the display (doesn't make any sense why it should). There's something running intensely on your phone. The bloatware is considered part of the OS (motorola apps), try disabling some of them. Otherwise I'd suggest a factory reset/cache wipe but since you've already done that, try re-downloading the OTA and installing all over again

I sent my phone to repair centre twice but my problem still is not fixed. Sometimes it works ok but sometimes battery lasts about 5 hours.
motorola staff ban me on motorola forum because I said that I’m disappointed their service.
I know one thing , never buy motorola again.
