My RAZR HD is getting bad battery. Been off the charger for 3.5 hours and I have been sending some emails and texts for a total of 59 minutes screen time and I'm down to 72% battery. What gives?

Go to settings - Battery, and look to see what is eating all of your battery... Plus check your screen on time...

If nothing looks out of place then if you recently took the JB OTA i suggest doing a factory reset. It seems to help people with similar issues.

How long have you had the device? I personally treat new devices just as I would when flashing a new Rom build. Trying to not judge battery life until its been setup and used for a few days.

That was the only time I ever hit 7. I average about 4 1/2 hours of screen on time. 3 1/2 seems a but low to me but it all depends on what you're running. Plus if you have a weak 4g signal that can seriously hurt a battery.

I bought the phone about 2days and I`m not happy with battery by now... And I set the smart actions to save battery..




(At the first moment with the phone, flashed Retail LATAM with RSD Lite)

Well.. I`ll wait for a few days..!

4 hours of screen time is about the average for most people, which is way more than most androids. The galaxy nexus I remember was only about 2.5 hours. I've had the phone last me about 2 days on one charge, but again, 4ish hours of screen time. If you sit with the screen on non stop for 4 hours, the phones dead. You'll lose barely anything just sitting idle

I have the RAZR Maxx HD. I'm at 4 1/2 hours of on screen time with 35% of charge left. I'm happy with the phone so far. I've had it for a week now.

I usually get 6-7hr screen on time with my RMHD. Of course I'm using the 2x battery app as well. Mainly because I have a less than stellar 4G signal where I work. I don't have the app active when on wifi, just mobile data.

Why would a factory reset brick you? Whoever told you that is wrong. Also you can go back to ICS. Pretty sure there is a France 4.0.4 fast boot file in the development section.

I did after the JB update. I can't say for 100% that there is no "brick bug" for you guys but that sounds very unlikely to me.

How did that one member get 7hrs screen time? My XT925 has "slightly" better battery life than my old HTC One X with CM10. I was expecting it to be a noticeable difference!

I'm running a CM10 now on the XT925 and it's a bit better but on the stock Moto Firmware it was pretty bad. I'm on my 5th or full cycle on the battery.

I got 7 hours because I didn't do anything but gtalk, text and check the forums once or twice. I was on WiFi too.

Still no matter what you're doing just havin the screen on for that long will tax your battery. I'm still out on the battery life on this phone. My HTC One X has a much smaller battery but lasts about the same (1800mAh vs 2530mAh).
