I drive too anywhere and everywhere(I'm a truck driver) and I downloaded an app that shows me the battery level+temp+voltage. And last time I charged the battery was last night at 21.20 and now I do have 24 hrs with aprox 6 hrs talking time and the battery level is at 35%.
I think the battery gets used bad when is bad signal or is missing at all. I drove few good hours today with really bad signal.
I'm not taking sides but compared with my good ole Droid X the Maxx is way stronger from battery pov.

One more observation. I made one day my Maxx hot spot for my laptop and I can say the battery got empty quite fast. So, short battery life could be caused by lots of things.

I hope too that the new much trumpeted ice cream thing will make a difference but I'm afraid they wont make the update.

Yep. Poor signal will have an extremely negative impact on battery life.
 
I have been getting better about 13 to 16 hours battery life with moderate to heavy use. Although I am in a area where I am on LTE all the time. There is about a 5 to 10 minute piece of my commute where I will hit 3G but that's it.

Prior phones were a Bionic with extended battery and a Droid X. Neither competes with this phone for different reasons. The Bionic was horrendous. It seemed to have a problem keeping a 4G signal and kept switching from LTE to 3G. Even in areas where my MAXX has no issues with keeping a 4G signal. I would have it plugged in(because I had to) on my desk at work and I could watch it switch back and forth while sitting perfectly still. That and the Bionic with the extended battery is like carrying a brick in your pocket. The Droid X is a great phone, on par with the MAXX, but with no LTE.

I too would like better battery life with ICS but as long as it doesn't get any worse I will be happy.

I'm running Koa CM9 so, I'm already on ICS (4.0.4) but, I do hope to see the official out soon because maybe it will fix the few small issues in the leaks and the next rom versions will reflect those fixes.

Plausible. That's the announced date for the XOOM 3/4g, though, so she might have mixed it up with that, too.
 
If Motorola is planning to release a new smartphone in the next month, then I highly doubt ICS will come out for the Razr, until after the new phone is released. Considering there has been no soak test for the Razr as of yet, I would guess at least another 3 weeks. End of June would still be late Q2.
 
although as hard as i have searched the forms and razr maxx news on google and even the motorola website... no news of the update is surfacing.

so i'm thinking we arn't going to see it... if they surprise us tho it would be nice. Staying up to midnight anyways... i'll check it out then.
 
looks like we might not have to wait much longer!

according to CNET, a verizon source acknowledged the delay and said over the air updates begin Jun 12.

here's to hoping it's true
 
I'll believe it when I see it. Cnet throws out the most ridiculous rumors all day long. It's more National Enquirer than an actual news source.
 
C'mon guys, can someone talk to them and tell them to move faster coz I've been advised not to root my phone before the update.
This will be my first root and I plan on celebrating accordingly but I can't unless they update.
 
If or when ICS does come out, should you do a factory reset? Is it necessary?

I ask because I have so many ringtones for certain people, faces for particular phone numbers, alarms, etc.

Thanks.
 
well that would only be one more week haha and I just got my Razr yesterday, that would be a great addition of getting this phone haha
 
My understanding is that ICS for Verizon roll out will start at the end of the month. Start, which means that some users will get the update well into July.

The first to get ICS is Japan, and once it rolls out there, a week or so later will be LATAM and the rest of the GSM world, and only after that we will see it here for Verizon..
So relax, grab a beer, chill and keep an eye open for news from Japan.. :D
 
As someone stated earlier - I think it would be best to take the Zen approach here and live with the mantra "it will come when it comes."

But in all honesty, I'm pretty excited that the date is solidifying somewhat.
 
Well, my 4G Motorola Xoom got the ICS update this morning. Surely it can't be far behind for our razr. So far I don't see anything mind blowing with my update for the Xoom. I am wondering if this is something that we really need to be soooooo excited about?

I guess we will find out eventually. :)
