Battery Life Razr Maxx sucks since ICS update.

[Squeak87]

Not bad with moderate use of social apps, calling, and light texting. Haven't trained my battery either.

Boy this Tapatalk buff is weird. I tried to quote jackiescivic's but it kept quoting dandroid's post from another page instead. Jackie, did you have the monitor app running since before the last charge?

I have no idea lol

OK, because I did unplug prior to running the app (had just did an FDR), and the app only sees me as being disconnected from battery for 2 hours, whereas I haven't charged in over a day.

See pics below...

I love this phone but hate the battery. 8 hours and its at 20% with 3 hours of on screen time and 3g only. This is ridiculous

 

[Squeak87]

To train the battery meter I know you have to charge it to 100% with the phone off, then letvit discharge to about 10%. My question is should I run the battery down before charging to 100% or does it matter?

I could be wrong, but I don't believe you need to train the battery. Don't recall the links, but I think that theory was debunked.

Ever since I turned off the global setting and went back to LTE/CDMA, my battery seems just like it was before ICS.

You are absolutely correct. The battery itself does not need trained, but the battery meter does. See below.

why your meter needs trained

 

[Wongway]

Ahhh, gotcha!

That I do understand.

Just like every rechargeable battery out there, it will increasingly have a smaller capacity. Shame too because I really do love the MAXX's battery life. Going to hate getting rid of this phone for just that reason when that time comes.

Thank you. I meant battery meter, kinda tired so my mistake. Thank you again for the link.

After training my battery meter I haven't seen any difference in my battery life. Perhaps it was already trained.

No, it doesn't matter
Phone off (at any point)
Charge to 100%
Use normally to 10%
Phone off again and charge back up to 100%
This calibrates the meter to your battery

My battery went back to normal I went 28 hrs on one charge medium use
