Battery life

So on my circle battery app when I start my phone in the morning from a nightly charge (phone off), it shows 99 then goes to 98 rather quick. Is it possible to get a full 100% charge?

I'm in the same boat, usually starts at 99% after unplugging. I have gotten 100% once and that was yesterday morning.

I don't have "cellular data" at the bottom for an option. Any idea why?


Agreed. The setup I am experimenting with now looks like this:

1 WIFI CONNECTION
Trigger: WIFI Connection
Actions: Cellular Data (Disabled)

2 Battery Extender
Triggers: Display Off
Not Charging
No Movement
Actions: GPS Off
Background Sync disabled
Cellular Data disabled

On top of that I obviously have some nighttime Rules which more or less doesn't help because it is on a charger. They more or less just turn off ringer etc. etc.

I have had this phone since 11/10 and have consistently gotten upper double digits before having to re-charge. Up until today I have had 4G constantly on, Wifi on 80% of the time, background sync on, data on, Google location on, 2 business email accounts pushing to my phone, as well as two gmail accounts. Display on automatic. I have been consistenly playing with the device, getting emails pushed , and the occasional text and phone call (average to heavy use). Coming from the Droid Charge, I believe that the RAZR's battery is better with the right Smart Actions. The real test will come tomorrow when I have hundreds of emails pushed to my device and now having these smart actions implemented. Overall pleased, blown away, no, but very pleased.
 
No, I added the rule to turn off cellular data. This will turn off the 3g and/or 4g radio in the phone, while leaving the 1x data (used for calls and texts) on.

Where is the cellular data option? At the bottom of my battery extender smart action -- not there?
 
Battery life on my RAZR is by far the best I've had on a smartphone in many years. Most days I can generally get 13-15 hours of of the battery which is awesome. I am constantly doing something on my phone. The battery life is far better than the Thunderbolt and Bionic

The phone was fully charged at 2am after depleting the battery totally for the third time. I had 40 minutes of talk time, two texts, a couple of gmails, and a weather widget/app going full time throughout the day. The battery is sitting at 80%. It appears that there is plenty of battery time and I'll likely recharge every other day except for when I get bored and watch some "television" in which case it might need recharging that evening. I am looking forward to seeing what smart actions will add to the battery life. I won't bore all of you with additional posts. For me, there is no negative issue with battery life.

I use circle battery also, the only way I have seen 100% is when the battery is fully charged and the phone is plugged in to the charger.
 
I think I have found something that helps but I hate doing without. And its data synching I noticed my phone constantly moving data and that was killing batt life...

I now allow background sync on my Smart Actions (if thats what your talking about). I believe that the cellular data is the real killer. I found that in my battery saver and Wifi smart actions when I had screen off which triggered cell data and background sync off that everytime that I turned the screen on it did a refresh of all background syncs which I believe hurt more than helped. I just manually went into every application i.e. facebook etc and set the sync intervals at a longer timeframe. My battery life is now fantastic, so I do think this helped, but of course this is just my personal experience.
