Hey guys
I was having issues with my IPhone 5 and so I gave up on Apple and even though I know it's being discontinued I just wanted a phone that had superb battery life. Here in CAnada, no one carries the Droid Maxx, etc.. all we have is the outgoing Rogers Motorola Razr HD LTE. I finally got a hold of one and I'm not sure what to think about the battery... I guess I was expecting better.
So far have not installed any apps, except for the ones that updated by google. Android is 4.1
Around 9:30 or so the phone came with about 40% battery...by 1:30 the phone was dead. It would be fine with me if most of that time was surfing the internet, playing games, etc. but I wasn't even using it the whole time.
Voice calls was 44% 1h 12 mins
Screen was 29% 1h 46 mins
Google Play Movies 4% (23 minutes)
I know that the reception in my house does vary from LTE to 4G to Edge and I know this isn't the best thing for the battery... I would say I had WIFI on about half the time, no GPS, and LTE turned off probably about an hr in. For the last hr after reading a tip, I took the auto-brightness off.
Can someone maybe guide me on an app to get or somethin I see people posting results here and others analyzing them. I have 15 days to have it swapped if I think I got a lemon.
I also thought it was strange that after downloading a video off wifi from google play movies and i paused it, it wouldn't play again even after closing the app and re-opening. I had to shut down the phone and turn it back on.
I am gonna charge the phone by plug and see how long it takes to charge and will report this back as well I wonder does the battery somehow underperform the 1st time before it gets fully charged?
