Battery life much better

[franlofter]

Hi All,
I have been reading much threads on battery life because i was getting poor battery life with my max, i decided to do the complete drain of battery that i have seen talked about did that and fully recharged my maxx. took it of the charger 14 hours ago with light use little web browsing email and i am at 90% battery life. now of course it was not used for 10 hours through the night. but this seems alot better to me then what i was getting. also i set it to kill data 2 min after sceen timeout.

This may be just because it is my first day with it but I'm at 5% after 12H 48M 11S ... I have been using the phone for every thing today like texting calling downloading apps and eBay. The display (brightness) was on 50% for most of the time if not lower with the dim on, the display has been on for 5h 16m 19s. I also only had LTE on about 25% of the time when I was downloading my apps after that I went back 3G because I didn't need it on.

I hope this is just because it is my first day with it and still getting all my apps back..

That sounds about right to me mine was hitting 20% after 10 hours of heavy use first couple of days.
I used mine alot tonight video streaming texting emails and im at 24 hours off charger at 70%. so i guess i does get better. this is on wifi im sure if i was on 4g lte my battery would be dead by now. I just wanted to make sure i did not get a bad phone thats what it seemed like the first couple of days but now i know my battery is fine. everyone uses there phone in different ways guess thats why there are so many different battery life results.

Well I'm not sure how I'm going to use this phone... Only because I just came to Verizon and don't have an unlimited data plan anymore. With AT&T I was using about 10 GB.
