Help recent battery problems

[flanntastic]

so i normally get 2 days on my RAZR MAXX HD battery, or if i charge everynight i have 50-60% battery when i plug in....the last two days i have used my whole battery by 10pm and haven't changed my habits.
i am hoping to post this screenshot and you guys tell me what happened.

Same issue here man. Started happening about two weeks ago, and I don't know what the hell was causing it. Tried FDR's, minimal usage, average usage, battery stat programs, etc. Gave up eventually and phoned in to Verizon for a replacement. Probably not the help you were seeking, but I couldn't figure out what was causing it.

Your signal is pretty low. Is it possible that you need to rehome your phone to the closest tower? (what is it again? *228? something like that)

Try turning GPS off. I found that to be the biggest drain on the Droid X and Bionic.

hi guys, just a quick question.. does your battery get hot? mine does sometimes.. is it normal?
(I'm sorry flanntastic for using your post for my question...)

I don't have the maxx, it is just the HD and right now I can get around 26-28 hrs. my usage is not very high, some searches on the web, facebook, twitter and youtube sometimes... I always have the wifi on, gps always off and display is on autobrightness

Regards!

That's how mine has been too yesterday and today.

I only used it for 1 hour of screentime and I'm down to 75%. I usually get 5-6 hours of screen time.

I'm having the exact same experience. In the last few days, I have not made it through the entire day without charging. I've never been even close to needing to do that before. I can't identify the cause by looking at the gsam battery monitor.

How's your setting on Google Now/map, search? I turned off all location report/sharing/history there to prevent excessive drain from location search/tracking.

If that's not it, maybe the battery itself might have degraded already. That's the catch with sealed battery design like this phone. But I think Moto provides battery replacement service under warranty.

how do i find that setting? i have everything in the gps section off.
its weird that the battery did this in one day, a guy at work thinks its because the wireless router got moved to outside the office. His Iphone 5 has been losing battery quick

If your phone spends a lot of time with WiFi, I think that could be it. See how it goes if you turn off WiFi.

As for the location settings, I am talking about the setting inside the google map, not the normal location setting like GPS, Google location service. You can get there in couple of ways. One is to go into your google account in the main android setting, and there you will see "Maps&Latitude". It's also accessible from within google map setting. You may uncheck whatever is unnecessary for you there.

13 hours with 3 hours 15 min of screen time, 48% left...that's more normal to me.

Better than what I was getting a few days ago. Not sure what that was all about.

if ur android OS is JB 4.1.2 you may have the battery issue. I think it's the build own issue with moto devices. There is a bug which keeps ur phone from deep sleep.
Did this issue happen after you upgrade to 4.1.2?

Download "GSam Battery Monitor" to see what is draining your battery.
The plot looks Okay, battery dropped 30+% in 9+hrs.
