Starting in about September, I started encountering problems where my Droid Razr Maxx went from easily lasting an entire day (or longer), even with moderate use, to barely lasting 12 hours with very little use. After trying various things, I did a Factory Data reset. This fixed the problem for a couple of days, but only a couple of days. Verizon sent me a replacement phone in October. Initially, things were fine. But, after about a week, the problem started happening again. I got a 2nd replacement phone in December. This time, I had about a week and half of lasting battery, before the problem resumed. The last few days, with very little usage (a few text messages. Maybe 2-3 minutes of web access), my battery was dropping drastically. I lose about 10% an hour for the first few hours. But, once the battery hits 50%, I have 2, maybe 3 hours, before it dies out. I have removed the SD card. To make sure it wasn't some new APP, I avoided adding any new apps, and just added a few that I had for years (one at a time) to see of it was an APP problem. Yesterday, I convinced one of the stores to replace my SIM card. To make sure it wasn't some charging problem, I used 2 different Motorola charges. Because I was also traveling, I tried charging the phone at home, at 2 different hotels, and an airport. No luck. At this point, there is no original hardware on my current phone that was on the previous 2 phones. They all suffer from the battery barely lasting with no use. WiFi is off. GPS is off. The OS and the Screen take turns being at the top of my battery monitor. Anyone else find a sudden drop in battery that they can't seem to fix? I can't imagine that I got 2 defective phone in a row from warranty replacement, so it must be some software problem that others would have faced. While a FDR seems to fix the problem for a few days, it's impractical to do that twice a week just to get the phone to last.
