Please tell me your phone's setup? Although I'm getting better battery time than my Droid Incredible, I'm not seeing the huge hours some have posted. I'm a moderate user, no games, watch a few YouTube videos a week, check email a lot, use Evernote, Springpad, RSS readers, some Facebook, have a few Sports widgets, Wifi whenever possible, I've turned off 4G because of the spotty coverage, but I have a smartphone for a reason and don't have everything turned off.
I also have the usual suspects in check, like auto-brightness turned on, etc... I consider myself pretty savvy overall, read the forums and web sites for optimal use. I also am not naive in thinking that, hey, this is a smart phone, it uses juice all the time. But the reason I got the Maxx over the 'normal' Razr was because of all the extra battery time it proclaims. Smart Actions seems to drain my battery much more than not using it at all.
I plug in at night around 11 pm when I go to bed and the Maxx battery is at around 26-30%. Fine, it got me through the day. I shouldn't complain, right? I unplug in the morning at 100% at about 7 am, and by 830 its already down to 84%??
I check what's using the battery and while everything is well below 15%, the Android OS is typically at between 45-60%. Is this average, normal, high?
Again, realistically, it gets me through the day, all day, and I plug in at night, so what. Is this the new reality, or should I be getting more? Or should I simply stop caring and get over it?
