My In Store Experience With Droid Razr Battery Life

I have a Droid Razr. I took it into a local store because my battery life is HORRIBLE. The phone had been off the charger for 1h40m minutes and it was already at 60%. The CSR told me it would take 40 minutes. When I came back he told me the test said the battery "was fine", and he went on to explain that it had only gone down 10% in the 40 minutes which is pretty bad. I left and checked the phone and it was at 40%. I thought I could get the battery replaced or possibly get a new phone but he just gave me the information and walked away. I had to track him down to ask him another unrelated question.
the battery has been on the charger the past few days more then i have been using it. i can't make a full day on a 100% charge, not even a half day. I charge at least once during the day, and around when im going to bed.

    Hi there Sas1983!
Having a battery that will last is definitely important! I'm so sorry for the less than super experience with your phone and at the store location. I would be delighted to provide some information and suggestions.
4G LTE Smartphones run a different radio so battery life is a little bit different. As you already know you can't remove the battery from your Razr so we absolutely want to ensure it's good! 
You can manage your phone by using Smart Actions on your phone. Here's some information: http://search.verizonwireless.com/?q=smart actions razr&x1=t1&q1=support
You can also close running applications easily by "double tapping" the Home Key and then swiping the open applications to the right to close them.
Let me know how these additional steps help!
Thanks,

  • OG Droid Razr battery life

    I have an original Droid and since I am not a big cellphone user I have never had a problem with battery life. I am just wondering if the Razr has similar battery life. I know the Maxx just came out but I am not sure if I would need the extra battery life. Thanks for any advice.

    Yes, the battery life isn't the greatest with smartphones.
    As a reminder,
    Battery life depends on the network, signal strength, temperature, features and accessories used. 
    It is common for batteries to be warm from use or charging.
    Tips for extending battery life
    Avoid exposing the battery to extreme heat and cold. 
    For the first 3 charge cycles, fully charge the battery overnight and allow it to fully discharge before recharging (battery conditioning). 
    Charge and re-condition a battery after an extended idle period. 
    A Lithium-ion battery may be damaged by extensive overcharging (continuously on a charger for more than 24 hours). 
    Use the battery. If possible, avoid letting your battery sit idle for long periods of time. 
    Use only the phone options and accessories that are really needed.
    Here are some tips that will help extend the battery life on your Droid Razr.
    I also make sure I use my smart actions to help with battery life. I make sure my Razr is in sleep mode when I sleep.
    Hopefully, these tips/tricks will help you with the battery life on your Razr and even the Razr Maxx!

  • Droid Razr Battery Life

    I need help.....anyone know what to do to get longer use from my battery? 2 hours if even that long is about all I get out of my battery! Frustrated!!!!! 

    Ok has it Got the Latest Updates on it..?  On my 2 Razr Maxx's one has Jelly Bean and one has ICS both are still Running Stable although at times the Network drops back to 3G, but that could mean there just doing some adjustments
    Well since it Set for a While i would Run it through a System Cache Clear, and see what that Does and one App that i would suggest Getting is System Panel App  it will show you what your Razr is doing how it's performing and it will show what apps are Running it's not a Task Killer if you have one on your phone get rid of it)  Panel App also shows the Battery Life the Temps of the Phone and the SD and internal Storage it's a Good app to have i'v used it since 2010 when i Got my Droid X my first Android phone..
    Also when you charge your Razr do so by using the Charger that came package with it, It's the best to use to achieve the best charge for the Phone and you might Look at what you phones Data is set on if it is on Global switch it to LTE / CDMA and try that..
    Let me know if that helped with the System Cache Clear and the Few other things i suggested if not  we'll try something Else Since you Mentioned allot of Apps you may have some that are in the Need for updating or some that need removing because of the Age of the App..

    Do Not post stuff about how Airplay doesnt work, because i dont have Apple TV and dont need to hear about it.

    If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

    My iPhone 4S shut off with a 62% battery life and hasn't came back on yet. I've charged it and all it just won't come back on at all. Is this a common problem? Is this covered under my 1 year warranty?

    No it is not common.
    Most have no issues.
    Have you tried basics from the manual?  Restart, reset, restore?
    The warranty covers defects.  If the iphone is defective, then they would replace it.

  • Battery problems with Droid Razr M

    Over the last 2 weeks my droid Razr M has lost battery power. It appears that my screen is using anywhere from 42% to 55% power. I have had a "soft" update done at the store and that lasted about 2 hours. My screen is on auto batterty saving mode, and dims after 30 seconds. I generally use my phone for texts, limited calling and occasionally checking my email. I have not downloaded anythig lately. Up to this point my battery life has been good.

    Keep your screen lighting to no higher than 20-25% and do a normal reboot again. Next try to rebuild your battery by doing the following:  
    Li-ion batteries needs to have a rebuild charge from time to time. Give this a try, Do a full 6-8 hour charge with device in sleep mode, next run it down to about 45-50 % and then a 4-5 hour charge. After that use your device and take it down to 30%. Another 6-8 hour charge and then down to no lower then 20-25% and one more full 8 hour charge. At that point your battery should be rebuilt back to a normal life cycle. This should eliminate a short battery life if all is working normal.

  • Battery Issues with DROID RAZR

    This is the 2nd RAZR I've gotten from Verizon, and I'm having the same issues. I have to charge the battery several times a day, even when I'm not using it. The so-called "Smart Actions" do nothing for saving my battery - they just annoy me. The battery gets hot as fire when I'm using the phone for extended periods of time, whether talking, texting, navigating, or playing games/music. I've only been with Verizon since February, and this doesn't give me very much confidence in their products. I'm seriously considering going a different route completely. Just wondering if anyone else is having the same issues and how Verizon fixed them.

    I was with another provider for years.  I finally switched due to the needed coverage that Verizon provides.  I just got the Maxx so I am not familiar with the battery life of the Razr, but there are several things you can do to help improve the battery life.  Without knowing what all you have tried (with the exception of the smart actions app), I don't want to bore you with things you may have already tried. 
    Are you in a location that gets good 4g coverage?  If not, then try setting the phone to the 3g coverage, as 3g will not eat up as much battery.  Menu>Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks>Network mode>CDMAonly will put you on 3g
    Limit the use of background running widgets on your home screens
    WiFi uses more battery than 4g also, so only use it as needed and then make sure it is off when not needed. 
    Same with bluetooth and GPS.
    See what applications you have downloaded that might require running background data.  Some applications run in the background and using data will run down the battery quite a bit as well.
    Visit the Android website to see what others suggest about how to save on battery life too.  This can be very helpful and may tell you other ideas that could help.

  • Problems with Droid RAZR phone

    I purchased my Droid phone 12/19/12.  Circa 2/5/13, I started having problems with it, that are still continuing as of today, 2/20/13.  I went into a VZ store twice in the span of 4 days about these problems.  On the first visit, the VZ person did a phone reset and other stuff, didn't work...no surprise, right?  They might as well have told me to unplug it for 30 seconds, plug it back in and try again.  A few days later, after the problems didn't go away, I went back in and the employee, after reading documented information from previous visit, automatically ordered me a replacement phone.  Once I got the replacement phone, I refused it because it was a certified used phone.  I spent nearly $180 for a BRAND NEW phone and I'm suppose to accept a used phone and possibly have even more problems?  I don't think so.  I sent the phone back the day after I got it with a long letter protesting the replacement phone and giving a detailed description of the problems. 
    So, I am posting this note, along with (some of) the problems, to see if anyone else in the VZ world has had these problems; with the Droid or any other phone, and how to fix them.  Here are the problems:
    Several times a day, it will show the time as 15 minutes late than what it is (if real time is 4:45, my phone will show 4:30; if real time is 8:36, my phone will show 8:21).
    Related to the time problem above, it incorrectly lists my texts (sent and received); it will show that I responded to someone’s text 15 minutes before they sent their’s.
    On Thursday, February 7, 2013, I was unable to call out when I really needed to.  It took me 4 attempts to be able to call my boss. The phone got stuck on “dialing” and the call never went through.  Even after turning my phone on/off twice, I still could not call out. 
    Any advice how to fix these problems; at least the time problem?
    Thanks,
    Joe

        Hey there AshleyR0518. I want to start off by thanking you for your continued support to Verizon Wireless. Customers like yourself have allowed us to grow into the company we are today and we are forever greatful. I am saddened to hear that your most recent experience has caused you to look else where and I want to do whatever I can to retain your business. I am here to provide you with the customer service you deserve.
    I am sorry to hear about the issues that you are having with the Droid Charge. That is one to many issues to be having so I can certainly see why you are upset. The Droid Charge is a great phone, we just need to see what is causing the issues with the phone and make sure those bugs are exterminated.
    I am sorry that the store wasn't much assistance to you. They should have been able to resolve your issue in an efficient and professional manner and by your description we did not do that. If you provide the specific store location I can submit feedback to the store manager so that we can assure that this never happens again.
    How many hours do you get out of the Charge battery? The specs say you should get about 11 hours out of the battery, but that could differ on how you actually use the device. Do you have any battery saver or task killer apps? Sometimes these apps can do more harm to the battery than good. If you do please uninstall them and test the battery to see if the battery life improves.
    As for the phone freezing, this could be caused by a third party app that possibly has a corrupt file. To test, please put the device into safe mode and let me know if the freezing issue persists. For steps on how to put the device into safe mode please visit http://vz.to/n2EIBZ. If the phone doesn't freeze while in safe mode, that means that a third party app is causing the device to free.
    When is your upgrade Ashley? Dial #UPG from your cellphone to find out.
    Also if you are still under warranty we can replace your device at no cost to you as long as there is no physical or water damage done to the device.
    I want you to remain with us and also have a fully functional phone. There is alot more we can do than a factory reset and we are here to assist. Please try the steps provided and keep us updated on your results.

  • Problems with Droid RAZR HD

    Hi,
            I have had to post this into the Droid RAZR MAXX section due to the Droid RAZR HD no longer being posted on Verizon's site anywhere.  I first acquired this phone on 6/18/2013.  After a month I started having a few problems with the phone.  Being my first smart phone I just thought thats how it operated.  In December of 13 the problems had gotten so bad that I had gone by my local store several times and was basically told that if I wanted a different phone to buy one off Craigslist.  I couldn't believe that! The phone was only 6 months old and still under warranty.  The associate never offered to complete a warranty claim either.  Since then I am on my second replacement, third phone all together and have called Verizon a few times about every phone I get that turns out to be defective. Would Verizon not allow an exchange seven months into a two year contract if every phone I've had has been defective? I mean, its not even on their web site anywhere and the Droid RAZR MAXX is and it came out the same time as my Droid RAZR HD. 
           A VZ rep once offered to exchange and downgrade me only to another Droid.  I did not care to downgrade and stay with the Android OS.  I want to get away from the Android OS completely and change over to an Iphone and be done with it.  I'm not asking for the latest and greatest Iphone just because it might seem as though "I dislike the Droid I have now".  I want to change over to an Iphone because every Droid I get turns out to be defective. I wish I had NEVER EVER selected the Droid in the first place and hope I don't regret signing up Verizon, their service is awesome and CS is great too.  I've just been in this string of defective phones that's not even listed on their web site anymore and I don't care to have a phone that locks up and freezes when I need to make a call.

        We appreciate you taking the time to contact us. We also want to make sure you have a phone that is working properly for  you, 10.8denson.
    The warranty will replace the same make/model for you.
    If you are looking to get a different device, you can look into Certified Pre Owned http://bit.ly/NTcxRW, a possible Edge upgrade http://bit.ly/1br8ZPg. Have we been able to troubleshoot this device with you?

  • Droid RAZR battery issues

    I am having major battery issues now with my Razr. Let me explain some of the things I've observed.
    Number 1. When discharging it might drop to 99-98-97-80-40-39-38-20-4% as I witnessed today, right before my eyes while using it in a matter of a few minutes, and it gets hot too. When charging, it will charge up normally to around 30%, then jumps to 100 and says charged.
    Number 2. This seems to be a much bigger problem when using 4G. I just recently got 4G here, and ever since then, my phone is always a little warm and just eats the battery. I'd noticed this before, when traveling from here when it was still just 3G, to a 4G area. It is such a problem that when I went to Florida this past summer, I had to stop at the verizon store for them to check it out, because it was dying way more rapid than I was used to, always being on 3G at home.
    My phone is so bad now, that I dropped it from 100 to 4% in around an hour yesterday, and about 50+ minutes of that was idle and screen off. Then again later, I was using it to check the weather and it again went from 80+% to 15%, and quickly dropped to 9% in a matter of moments.
    I have changed nothing about it that would cause this level of drain. Location and everything else is off. I checked to see what is using the battery the second time it happened, and is says it is mostly screen and android OS.
    Comment edited to start new discussion.

    My daughter has had the exact same problem.  It worked fine since end of July when we got it as her regular two year upgrade plan until about a month ago.  She hasn't added any new apps and hasn't changed her phone behavior.  She does all the right things with turning off wifi and I've done the cache partition wipe twice and it sill does it. It gets so hot that the phone actually exhibits a warning message that it needs to shut down.  And it happens almost daily now. I've checked what's been using battery and Google Services seems to be the main culprit--with Google Play services and Location services using almost as much battery as the screen.  I've also uninstalled updates to Google Play services, rebooted and installed updates again and the overheating/battery drain still continues.  I am planning on taking her phone to Verizon and asking for a replacement.
    I've scoured the internet for answers and not sure what to do.  Hoping it's a phone issue. It seems ridiculous to have to turn off all the connectivity and functionality of a smartphone just to be able to have it work properly.

  • Thoroughly disappointed with Droid Razr

    I paid a premium price less than a year ago for a LEMON of a phone -- the Droid Razr by Motorola.  I have now replaced by new phone with three (3) refurbished phones because of the faculty Google operating system and poor manufacturing by Motorola, which is now owned by Google.  Sorry I abandoned my old Blackberry, but I feared the RIM would not survive.

    If you could explain the problem you are having, somebody here might actually be able to help you. 
    And FYI, the RAZR was already being designed, probably built, possibly released before Google took over.  Sounds like you have some pre-determined issues with Google, which should probably be addressed to Google themselves.

  • T520 won't operate with Droid Razr M Hotspot

    I have tried a Click Away computer repair, Verizon and Motorola support but to no avail.
    My T520 will not operate with my Droid Razr M hotspot.  The hotspot works with other computers.  The
    T520 works with other hotspots.  With the Droid Razr M, the T520 connects , sometimes has internet access for a short while, then no internet access.  Most times it is no internet access from the start but the connection is made.
    I have upgraded the driver for the Realtek 1x1 11b/g/n Wireless LAN PCI Express Half Mini Card, no change.
    My other computer is an Ideapad Y550.  The hotpsot works fine with this.  I have no problem with my home Wifi
    operating with the T520 either.  I have spent hours by myself and with others and have no other ideas. HELP!!
    Click Away - could get other cell phone Wifi to connect with T520.  They thought the Droid Razr M was rejecting the
       connection to the T520 due to a MAC ID flagged as bad by the phone.  Explained this to Verizon but they didn't pursue this.
    Verizon - Opened a ticket to look into it and after a week still had no response. Customer agent that answered my call to follow up on open ticket said their network people didn't find anything operating incorrectly, thus no call.  Called 611 and phone person tried clearing cache and then resetting different settings to see if could get connection. 
    Motorola - tried extensively to test different setups, took over control of phone and did a lot I didn't follow,  ended running through different specified Broadcast channels ( rather than auto) to see
    if that would allow internet access.  Their conclusion is that T520 is an incompatibility with the phone.

    You can't. iPad Bluetooth does not support it.

  • ICloud mail not syncing with Droid RAZR

    On July 24th, 2012 iCloud mail stopped syncronizing with my Droid RAZR.  My wife and I have identical phones, and have currently active and functional iCloud accounts on Mac. Both of our phones had functional email syncronization before AND AFTER ICS updates.  No new dowloands or settings changes have occured.  I have ensured that we are using the correct manual settings [email protected], PW, imap settings mail.mac.com, port 993, SSL
    I have tried using imap.mail.me.com and that does not work either. I tried the p07- prefix, and that too does not work. The only error it providfes is that it cannot connect to the server, and no other information is provided.
    I was on with verizon support, apple support, and motorola support and no one knows what has happened or has any solution.
    Have others encountered this problem recently? I have seen postings from last year on this, but nothing recently.
    If others have solutions, please post.
    Thanks

    I had the same problem.  Took me a long time to figure out but just got it working with Motorola level 2 support.  For some reason the settings changed and they are different settings that what I got to work using the K-9 app.  Basically, you need to change the incoming and outgoing server settings from what they were!   incoming server is imap.mail.me.com.  Use port 993, ssl/tls (accept all certificates) and authentication method should be LOGIN.  Outgoing settings should be smtp.mac.com with port 587, require sign-in, authentication method is PLAIN

  • Bluetooth Issue with Droid Razr Maxx

    I have had my Razr Maxx for about 3 weeks. From the jump I have had problems playing music thru several bluetooth devices. It will play fine for a few minutes, then music will start stuttering(dropping in and out) and continue to do so. Music plays fine when playing thru the phone speaker or wired headphones, but fails when using bluetooth.  I called in, and they sent me another phone, and the same problem is occurring with the new one. I'm figuring its a software issue, bc I had no problems with my Droid X. Is anyone else having this problem?? I probably listen to music just as much as I talk on the phone and this is def. frustrating.
