ICS Battery life

dreadfomonk said:
You gotta do that factory reset and calibrate the battery. My battery sucked too after the update. But reading this thread has helped alot. I'm averaging 1d 3h now.. I have to MAKE myself put it on the charger because I hate charging it at work..

The steps work, try them. (Smart action only set for battery extender).

This is SEVERAL hours on twitter, streamed 6 YouTube videos, hundreds of texts today (200 with one chica), 5 phone calls, a few emails, web browsing, instagram, Google+, and NFL.com fantasy football app. (Gsam battery monitor in case you're wondering what app that is). I actually use my phone a lot during the day, also because I was off. 4G on when I wasn't at home as well..

Bought Razor Maxx a month ago. Main reason was extended battery life. I use the Sonocaddie golf app, GPS based, which really drains battery. First couple of times used less than 20 %. Yesterday, used over 50%.

Also have question. Can anyone tell me how to use Razor Maxx overseas (Iceland) as Mobile Hotspot and nothing else? (Don't want to be charged for all the data)
 
It's nice to see that I am not the only one experiencing the same problem since that wonderful update!!! With having the WIFI and bluetooth turned off, the battery life is fairly good. Main reason that I got the phone was because of the great battery life!
 
In my personal opinion I think the .215 leak helps the battery a lot. I use my Maxx consistently all day from checking social apps and weather to listening to the radio and making calls. I am never below 50% battery before midnight, and that's moderate to heavy use. I did experience bad battery life when I first updated to ICS though.

ics sucks (battery life)

I have a RAZR maxx and ever since the ics update....my battery life has been cut in half. Im on 4G all day....like before. Hope they figure out what the problem is. Kinda frustrating.
 
My Razr went from two full days of battery to less than a day. In another thread I figured how to turn a few things off. Someone also suggested I download Juice Defender which I did and it seems to help. It's kinda maddening though that I have to download an app for the battery. I don't like the way Juice Defender shuts everything off either. When I want to use something it takes several minutes to get "reconnected" also on my Pandora when the screen shuts off it apparently shuts off Pandora. The current "event" (I only listen to comedy channels) keeps playing but when that one is over, it won't go to the next one unless I turn the thing back on by hitting the buttons twice (the one swipe was so much easier) go to Pandora and hit the forward button.

Please Android fix this or at least let me go back to the old version, what ever it was. The old one was so much better and easier to use.
 
From my experience; I had the same problem after the changeover. There were a number of GPS intensive apps I had running at the same time. Uninstalling and re-installing them helped. Also a great number of apps have now been updated. Battery drain now is back to normal.

Agreed about. 215 helping. Curious what your on screen time averages on a charge?

i have experienced a loss of battery live on both my wife's RAZR and my RAZR MAXX since the ics update. I had thought that it was actually supposed to increase with the ics update, but alas not yet.

The reason why Pandora shuts down after your screen goes off is because Juice Defender (jd) is turning off your wifi/data when screen is off and pandora needs this to work. There is a work-a-round in JD where you can set it to not disconnect your music, pandora or apps with screen off but because I stopped using JD, I don't remember what that work-a-round is.
