Awesome Battery Life!

---

I just picked up a like new D4 to play with along side my RAZR MAXX and i gotta say im getting the same battery life on the D4 as my RAZR MAXX.

Im like WHOA no way 17 Hrs of medium use on the D4 and 17.5hrs of medium use on the RAZR MAXX.

I guess its the screen on the D4 that does not draw that much power? I am very happy with the phone and i put the MAXX up on ebay!

How are your battery results?

17 hours moderate use sounds about right... but your RAZR battery life sounds way too short.

There is something eating your RAZR battery life prematurely. 17.5 on D4 is great. On RAZR MAXX that is somewhat poor.

My Wife's D4 can go most of a day without a charge. My RAZR MAXX can go two days without a charge.

I must be doing something wrong then cuz I'm lucky to get through the day without plugging my D4 in. :(

When I installed the Swiftkey 3 beta, my battery life went WAY down. Even though it never showed up in the battery stats (not sure why). Uninstalled, problem gone...

I was very impressed with the D4's battery life, as I thought it would suck after reading reviews. I've been impressed with consistently getting >14hrs on my normal usage, and I used it as hard as I possibly could the other day (wifi tether, games, lots of browsing, all while on 4G) and got 11hrs. My OG Droid barely got 10 hrs with light use.

Yea, the OG Droid had terrible battery life. The thing that saved the OG Droid was that the battery was removable, and you could get OEM batteries for ~ $3 online. I had three

A lot of this depends on what you consider use. For example, I have read an eBook on my D4 for 3 hours and lost less than 10% of the battery. I can tether for about 2 hours, but that's pretty battery intensive. The D4 tends to do better than the MAXX when it comes to a lot of screen time, because the pentile display is more energy efficient.
