Battery life on the RAZR?

---

So what is everyone seeing as far as how long their battery lasts?

Is there anything you do to save battery?

Also please remember to post honest estimates, screenshots prefered. Lying about battery usage doesn't help anyone and doesn't make you any cooler of a person

So my first charge looks like it's gonna be in the 8.5-9 hour range. Keep in mind that was a long hard 9 hours of pretty much constant fiddling and playing. My droid pro would have died a couple of hours ago. We will see how the second charge runs.

How does a screenshot prove battery life? If someone was determined to lie about their battery (don't know why they would) how would you know they didn't throw it on a charger in between pics?

Asking to someone to "prove" the feedback they went out of their way to provide is asinine. Either accept the feedback you get, or do it yourself.

Turn off 4G
root and calibrate your battery,
juice defender
Use your phone less often
Turn the display all the way down
Keep Bluetooth off
Keep from searching for wifi networks
Strip out bloatware
Limit what runs in the background
Limit how often apps sync

After a day of HEAVY usage (AndroIRC full time, forum / web browsing, total of 2 hours talk time, heavy texting, and some gaming) I went through about an 8 hour shift at work. I would put the battery on par with the Droid Charge right now. Although, that was just the first full charge. I'm sure the next one will prove to last longer ... or maybe not. We'll see tomorrow!

It's my understanding that it would be visible under 'Charging' in 'Battery Usage', if someone charged the phone in between pics

Right ?

correct, battery statistic applications always say "since plugged in"

It would be BAD !@# to see the distracting negative recourse that usually hijacks threads stop.

The screenshot is a 'fool proof' way of showing an accurate read of how long the battery has been off of the charger. If you plugged the device in between screenshots the time on battery would reset and you now would have a screenshot showing LESS time off the charger. I understood the OP to request that the responses be accurate in terms of providing stats paired with usage. In other words dont show a screenshot that reads 22h 31m 17s 'on battery' and say that this 'on battery' time was accrued from 'heavy usage'. I see it all the time in the several different forums I frequent.

IME nursing the data connectivity is an excellent way to increase the battery life. I'm currently on the Bionic and Charge and I, at one time, was a heavy Slacker Radio user which requires a data connection. I now purchase MP3's through Amazon MP3 player and Cloud drive and I download music to my SD-ext and turn off my data for the most part of the day. When I need to use Google maps (I'm a UPS driver) I turn on the data, GPS and WiFi. I placed shortcuts in an easily accessible screen to quickly access the 3 things I mentioned. I regularly see 20+ hrs nursing data, GPS and WiFi.

I'm waiting on a co-worker to get a few weeks of usage on the Razr and give me some feedback before I decide to purchase.

It all depends on usage. Some people will have 40+ hours on one charge, while others have 5 hours. Thats equivalent to the people who only use their phones to talk, and dont sync data, vs the people who are downloading new ROMS for their phones while listening to pandora while they are using the GPS to get to work.

+1...battery usage is relevant.

90%-20% in about 6 hours of fairly heavy usage.
