Razr Maxx call feature battery drain

Folks,
I have been seeing/having this issue that I am getting a bit frustrated with and wondering if I am the only one seeing this. When using the device the phone can hold a charge very well, that is unless I use the phone as a phone. I can use the display for 40 minutes on the internet and whatnot but a 10 minute phone call consumes more power according to the battery management app. I have gone through a few Razr Maxxs thinking that I had this was an issue with the hardware. I have called Moto regarding this and they are unable to figure out what the issue could be.
Am I the only person who is seeing this issue? For a phone that claims 21 hours in best conditions I find it hard to believe that an hour of call time drains almost 10% of the battery's charge.

Your using more battery because your using the full power of that Transmitter to hit the Tower an you may be jumping from 4G to 3G when doing so an if this happening while your traveling your bouncing from Tower to Tower.. An if this is the case it can pull more from that phone an you said this is your second or third one an it's showing the same results. I would say keep what you got an give the one you got a chance.. batteries on phones do better after a few charge an discharge Cycles.
An one other thing that Maxx has some of the Best battery saving parameters there are on a phone. One i use when at home is my Wi-Fi an if your not using any of features, like Bluetooth,Wi-Fi, G.P.S Etc. while on the phone shut'em off. If your running any live Wallpapers go back to non live wallpapers an if your Display is set high adjust it to a lower Setting an un-check Auto Adjust an i even un-checked All animations. An one other thing to check your Apps some Apps can be battery hogs an while your Talking they can still be running in the background an consuming power.!

    Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and will naturally degrade over time. You've probably experienced this with other battery-powered products - you find yourself charging the battery more often as the charge just doesn't seem to hold as often as it once did. Eventually, you may need to replace the internal battery.
    There are a couple of things you can do before replacing the battery. Sometimes it's a matter of changing a few settings that will ensure you're getting all the power you can from your battery. Motorola Customer Service can help you with this process over the phone.
    Before you call:
    We recommend that you completely deplete the battery by allowing the device to completely shut down when the battery has depleted.
    Once your product shuts down, plug it into the charger that came in the original box, and allow it to charge to 100%.
    Once you've completed this charging cycle, call Motorola Support at 800-734-5870, and the team will diagnose your battery, and recommend setting changes or actions.If your battery does need to be replaced, we offer two battery replacement options:
    The battery only replacement program lets you send your product to Motorola so that we can replace the battery and return the device back to you. If your device is within the warranty period there is no charge for this service. If your device is outside of the warranty period, the cost of this service is $49 plus applicable taxes.
    You can expect to receive the device back approximately 5 business days from the time we receive the device.  Use our online repair submission process to get going.
    With the expedited battery replacement program, for an extra charge we'll provide you with a FedEx label to return your product. If your device is within the warranty period the charge for this service is $19 plus applicable taxes. If your device is outside of the warranty period, the cost of this service is $69 plus applicable taxes.
    You can expect to receive the device back 3 days after we receive the unit.  Use our online repair submission process to get going.

    The DROID RAZR MAXX is feature-rich and can run a virtually limitless number of applications, making it useful for many tasks. Your particular usage will affect how long you can go before recharging your battery.  Playing games, running applications, and surfing the Web increase the power use of the computer-like functions of the DROID RAZR MAXX. Calling and texting utilize its phone functions.  Depending on your use mix, time between charges will vary. We know you want to use the device to its fullest and offer you these tips to help you get the most from your phone while going as long as possible between charges.
    New batteries are not fully charged. Plug the battery charger into your phone and an electrical outlet. Your phone might take several seconds to start charging the battery. Charging time from 0% takes approx. 5.5 hours.
    Tips:
    It is recomended to use a wall charger to charge the phone instead of USB cable plugged in to a computer.
    It may take several charging cycles for your battery to reach optimum performance.
    If your device is completely discharged, it may take several minutes for the device to begin charging.
    Ensure you are using a Motorola specific charger. Other chargers might take longer to charge your battery, or cause your calls to fail during charging.
    Tips to extend battery life:
    During initial set up of your Google and social networking account, your phone's battery may drain faster than usual due to the amount of data transferred. After the initial sync, and a few charging cycles, your battery will reach its maximum capacity.We strongly recommend to keep the phone attached to the charger during the initial sync.
    See where you power is going: Tap Home > Menu >  Settings > Battery information > Battery use.
    When setting the phone down after use, quickly press the power key to invoke a blank screen. Selecting a shorter back light duration will also help conserve power by blanking the screen when not in use.
    Lower the display brightness. Set Brightness to Automatic or low: Tap Home > Settings > Display >Brightness
    Set Screen timeout to 1 minute or less: Tap Home > Settings > Display > Screen Timeout
    Turn animation off: Tap Home > Settings > Display > Animation > No animation
    Turn off GPS when not in use. Active GPS can take a lot of power. Exit from navigation apps when not in use. Tap Menu > Settings > Location & Security > Use GPS satellites and Use wireless networks uncheck.
    Turn WiFi off when not in use : Tap Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Uncheck Wi-Fi
    Turn Bluetooth off when not in use: Tap Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Uncheck Bluetooth
    Applications which uses battery power: Certain streaming Music, Music Players, Talk, Video Chat, Navigation, Weather, and Map apps. widgets and live wallpapers, are notorious battery drainers. In addition certain Facebook, Twitter, Email and other apps that constantly sync over the internet can reduce your battery life. We recommend you use the Motorola task manager application. Task Managers let you monitor how apps use memory and processing power and identify apps that are using too many resources.
    Reboot your phone If you are getting only a few hours of battery life or your phone is running slow, it is probably not your phone. An app or widget is probably the cause. Restart your phone to clear background apps: Press and hold the power button > Tap Power off. Then turn the phone back on. Daily reboots can help keep rogue apps from taking battery life.
    Use the AC adapter to charge your phone whenever possible.
    Toggle Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS on or off as needed. These can be placed on your desktop by selecting an open area of your screen and selecting them. individually or using the Android Power Control Widget.
    Clear all notifications from the notification bar as much as possible.
    Ensure you do not have have duplicate email accounts. Duplicate email account will drain battery life. To check for duplicate email accounts, touch > My Accounts > Advanced set up and ensure there are no duplicates. To remove an account, touch the account > Menu > Remove account.
    We suggest charging each night so you start the day fully charged and ready to go!
    Tip No.2  Screen Lock..
    https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/86349/p/30,6720,8417 
    How does my screen lock and unlock features work with the Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) upgrade?
    With Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) your device now has several different lock options available. 
    To access your lock options, touch   > Settings > Security.
    Screen Lock Options
    Slide - provides no protection, but lets you get to the Home screen quickly, or open Camera and start taking pictures immediately.
    Face Unlock - lets you unlock your phone by looking at it. This is the least secure lock option.
    Pattern - lets you draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock the phone. This is slightly more secure than Face Unlock.
    PIN - requires four or more numbers. Longer PINs tend to be more secure.
    Password - requires four or more letters or numbers. This is the most secure option, as long as you create a strong password.
    The Lock Screen on Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream sandwich) uses two timers. The first timer is the "Sleep" timer which turns off the device display to extend battery life. You can turn the display on and swipe to unlock. The second timer called the "Automatic lock" timer turns on security features like pin, pattern, password or face unlock and protects the device from unknown users. This "Automatic lock" timer begins after the "Sleep" timer expires and you will be asked to enter personally recognizable data like pin, pattern, password or the face unlock when the display is powered on.To adjust the "Automatically lock"  timer go to Settings > Security > Automatically lock > Select desired time frame.To adjust the "Sleep" setting go to Settings > Display > Sleep > Select desired time frameIf you are using facial recognition and do not want the "slide to unlock" to appear, set the "automatic lock" timer to "5sec".Power button instantly locksThere is a new option in Android 4.0.4 which will automatically lock the device when the display is on and the power button is pressed.  As soon as the power button is pressed your device will lock.To activate the "Power button instantly locks" setting, go to Settings > Security > Toggle the Power button instantly locksIt is important to note your phone may contain security policies set by your IT administrator which may override any settings you attempt to set under screen security.

  • Iphone 4s battery draining too fast

    I just received my iphone 4s and I have upgraded from my 3s, after holding on for so long I am so disappointed with the battery life. after 2 phone calls the battery drains 15 %, I have turned off all the features to make sure it lasts me at least till I can charge it again. any solutions out there, off course apple says there is no problem, just like we have no problems with the economy.

    Quick fix for you!!!!!!
    Go to settings//Location Services//System Services//turn "Setting time Zone" and "Diagnostic & Usage" OFF.
    These things will drain you to Zero fast. and tell Apple there is an issue with the Setting Time Zone feature.
    Its constantly locating your phone second by second when it's suppose only work when you leave one time zone and go to another.

  • Battery drain..Keep Awake Issue

    I'm having occasional issues on my Maxx with my battery draining.alot of times its over night even know I use the Smart Action for this not to happen.The times it drains,its like 50% just over night,and when I check it its always when the Android OS is at a high percentage and when I check that its when the Keep Awake is at like 8 hrs.Sometimes it doesnt do it and the Keep Awake is at like 2 or 3 hrs.Not running anything different than before this started about a month or 2 ago.Any suggestions as to what makes the Keep Awake does that?
    With my normal phone useage,I used to get between 45-55hrs on a charge.now i'm lucky to get between 25-32.Whats draining it?Like I said I havent changed anything on it..apps or anything.
    Thank u for the help,
    Chris

  • ICS replaced my Razr MAXX battery with a Samsung battery!

    I know that there are people out there having issues with their battery life since the ICS update, and I happen to be one of them as well.  Both my wife and I have the Razr MAXX and both have seen a dramatic decrease in battery life.  I can't even make it through the day without charging my phone.  Even throughout the day, I keep my phone in my pocket and I can feel it getting warm, warmer than I recall it getting on GB, and more frequently.  Now I read some of the theories behind this and followed through with them and still have had no luck.  Here are some examples:
    1.)  Because of the update, you've been playing with the phone more to find out all the cool features you have, get familiar with it, etc.
                 - I was doing that the first couple of days, now I am not.  I still have the issue
    2.)  Use Smart Actions to help conserve your battery
                 - I have had that set up when I had GB and checked it after the ICS and nothing has changed (much like any other settings on my phone). 
    3.)  Use the *#*#4636#*#* feature to switch from CDMA/LTE to CDMA Only
                 - Done
    4.)  Don't charge it unless it needs it or let it sit on the charger for an extended period of time.
                 - Well, everyday is the only option I have for charging, and I already know that leaving it on a charger for an extended period of time will wreck the battery life, previous experience.  Plus, I get the notification when it's full.
    5.)  Check you sync settings
                 - Once again, nothing has changed there during the update.  Everything checks as frequently as it did before.
    6.)  Clear cache
                 - No luck
    7.)  Try doing....
                 - You name it, I've tried it.. 
    Another issue that my wife is experiencing, at times when people call her, she nor the person calling her can hear her, there is not even any static.  She has to restart her phone and call the people back.  Her phone rings, she can answer but all you hear is... nothing.  That about my biggest beefs with this ICS
    Before someone starts trolling and says "Why did you have to post another discussion when there is a bunch of others with the same issue", I did post a question a few days ago, had no answers from that.  And also, I'm reposting a new discussion for the simple reason that I am letting people know what I have done and that I haven't found any real answers that are working.  Does anyone else have any ideas? 

    I noticed more then usual battery drainage right after receiving the ICS Update.  I did a few things on the Maxx and battery is actually a little better now then pre ICS.
    1) I stopped using Smart Actions
    2) I shut my Blue Tooth and Wi-Fi off manually
    3) I clicked on the menu button on the phone and selected Manage Apps
    4) I disabled ALL of the bloatware on the phone (apps I do not use and these will vary from user to user)
         VZ Navigator
         My Verizon Mobil
         Amazon
         Slacker Radio
    A total of 19 apps.
    5) I used the Menu above to set the phone to CDMA Auto (PRL)
    This not only saved me a ton of Battery, it also gave me back some more usable RAM as the Bloatware is not using it, and also my Data usage went down since the Bloatware is not using Data anymore.

    Up for renewal in a couple of days, torn between the S3 and Razr Maxx.  I generally am partial to Motorola, also have heard good things about the Maxx battery life.  One concern was about the Maxx battery not being removable. 
    In general, I don't have good experiences with an original battery being fully functional for the 2 year life of the phone.  With regular use, charging it overnight or when its drained, have found batteries die much quicker after a year or so.  Usually this is no big deal, just buy a replacement battery when the original goes bad.  However with the Maxx, don't know if this is an option.
    Is the battery replaceable in this phone?  If not by me, by Verizon tech support?

    Hey,
    You bring out a good point that a lot of smartphone shoppers have in the back of their minds.  Battery life is one thing that is important, especially with screen displays getting bigger and bigger.  As far as Motorola intended, the battery is permanetly sealed in the Razr Maxx.  Removing it will probably void your warranty.  However, the battery life is very good with this model. 
    It is worthy to note, a lot other smartphones are made with permanent (sealed) batteries.  One big example is the Motorola Droid 4. another is the iPhone.  I did read somewhere that Apple will replace the battery for you for a fee.  I hope this answers your question about the Razr Maxx's battery.

  • RAZR MAXX drops calls "on command" and randomly

    I have a RAZR MAXX (two months old). If I use my Plantronics Pro HD Bluetooth device, the phone will suddenly drops a phone call without any reason. If I don't use the BT device and use only the phone/speaker, everything is working fine. The same goes if I connect another BT device as well as a wired earpiece. It suddenly gives the loud beep in the ear and the call gets disconnected. This happens 2-3 times per day out of 40 phone calls.
    My boss has a RAZR MAXX as well, and he has the same identical problem... only today, he was able to "make" the phone drop the call by simply placing the phone back into the holster. He uses only a wired earpiece and the call would drop ONLY when the earpiece is connected. We tried a phone call by having the conversation on the speaker, and he was able to place the phone into the holster without any problem... the moment he connected the earpiece plug to the phone, I got the beep and the call got disconnected.
    Can ANYONE confirm or had any experience with this crap?

    You are absolutely correct. The person who deleted my posts AND his own post which made no sense whatsoever to the initial question I posted, is probably reading this post with interest, as I'm reporting this incident to Verizon's Admins.
    Here is what my boss discovered in the last few days since I posted the question:
    1. Him and I use a leather holster with a latching magnets to close the flap. When he placed his phone in the holster while on call, and closes the flap, the call gets disconnected... but ONLY if his $50 wired (forget Bluetooth for a moment) is connected to the phone. He now uses a piece of Velcro (ugly but works) to hold the phone in the holster. When the flap is open, he can use the phone WITH the wired earpiece without a problem. There is no question it is a design issue of the phone.
    2. In my case, the fist call of the day today, which I used the speaker option, not even my BT, the call was disconnected after 3 seconds... It is definitely the phone. This is without turning the BT ON...
    So far, the only way MY phone is working properly as a phone is when I bring it close to my head and talk... For free cancer catalyst I can go out to the desert and enjoy the sun... The phone is a pain AS A PHONE.
    3. I know for sure it is NOT Verizon. I'm with the company for year and used BlackBerries until the RAZR MAXX... Maybe I'll need a PHONE phone AND and RAZR MAXX as a data device... so why did I buy the tablet?....
    So far, only by playing with the phone things work... But I don't have time to play with the phone every day just to make some calls and mainly to receive many calls....

  • Can't make or receive calls  - Motorola Razr Maxx

    My wife and I can not make or receive calls on our Motorola Razr Maxx phones.  We can receive and send texts.   We have turned off our phones and restarted to no avail.  We are in the Metro Atlanta area.
    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Thank you both. I just had a chat with VZW support, and there seems to be an issue in the area.  I would think the SIM card solution would work if it were just one phone, however, both my phone and my wife's have the same issue.
    Thanks for the responses.

  • Why won't my Razr Maxx ring when called from my home phone or the other cell phone (I-phone) on my Verizon account?

    Why won't my Razr Maxx ring when called from my home phone or the other cell phone (I-phone) on my Verizon account?

    Hi Ruth:
    Thanks for reaching out to me about this issue.
    This has been happening since I got the phone a couple of years ago.
    I did not realize that my home land line and my wife's cell phone
    always go straight to voice mail until my wife pointed it out to me
    several months ago.  Is there a setting I can adjust?
    Yes, I can make calls to our home land line and to her cell phone
    without being diverted to voice mail.
    Any advice you might have would be most welcome.
    Thanks.
