Make Your Droid RAZR Battery Last Longer
The Droid RAZR battery, a 1780 mAh Li Ion, has been touted
by Motorola as having at least 12.5 hours of talk time and 205 hours of standby
time but many consumers are claiming this just isn’t the case. There are
numerous net discussions on forums and Q&A sites such as Ask.com and Yahoo
Answers regarding battery issues. To date there is little consensus between any
of the participants as far as the actual life of the Droid RAZR battery since
it is so new but there are numerous tricks individual consumers are sharing
about increasing other Droid and RAZR phone’s battery life. Regardless of the
true answer about the actual battery life there are a few of the tried and
tested methods consumers have been using to extend the life of their Droid RAZR
battery.
Say Goodbye to 4G and
Hello to More Power
Some consumers are wary of changing too many settings on
their phones. This is understandable. At times navigating a new phone is
challenging. Changing certain settings may affect how the phone behaves and may
create issues when attempting to use various applications.
There is an easy way
to get your Droid RAZR battery to last longer without messing with too many
settings. The only setting you’ll need to adjust using this method is the lever
controlling your 4G.
The reason that using 4G drains more power from your phone
is that the 4G chipset is a separate chipset from the 3G chipset. Your phone
won’t switch between the two chipsets, both are used in unison. 4G provides
faster data connections while 3G is utilized for voice only. It’s a really
simple and ingenious solution but it does decrease the life of your Droid RAZR
batteries. As cell phone designs continue to evolve technologically this
probably will cease to be a problem in the near future as more energy efficient
models are developed.
If you’re unsure of how to turn off your 4G, you can do this
easily.
· Navigate to your Home Screen
· Choose the Settings Icon
· Next Select Wireless & Networks
· Choose Mobile Networks
· Select Network Mode
· Change the option to CDMA only
Another Bright Idea
for Saving Juice
Some users are reporting increasing the usage time of the
Droid RAZR battery by turning down the brightness on their phones to 30%. This
in addition to turning off 4G has been increasing talk and surf time up to 18
hours for various users.
Adjusting your screen brightness settings isn’t difficult
either.
· Navigate to your Home Screen
· Choose the Settings Icon
· Select the Display Option
· Select the Brightness Option
The Two Biggest
Battery Hogs
Bluetooth and GPS are two of the most useful features on any
cell phone. However, most people don’t use them continuously, but they do drain
a lot of juice from your Droid RAZR battery. You can shut off both features
until you need them and your Droid RAZR won’t need to be charged so much.
You can adjust your Bluetooth settings by following these
simple directions.
· Open your home screen and press the Menu button.
· Select Settings.
· Select Wireless & Networks.
· Uncheck Bluetooth to disable it.
Watch those
Applications
Everyone who gets a Droid RAZR does so for web browsing and
applications. Applications can create problems for the Droid RAZR battery. Many
of them are automatically set to update at various intervals. You can change
the frequency of updates in the applications settings menu.
· Open the Application
· Select the Application Settings
· Look for Notifications
· Set the Notification Interval at 30 Minutes or More
If you’re still having problems with your Droid RAZR batter
you can always download an application called JuiceDefender. It’s designed to
detect battery drains so users will know what applications or settings might be
causing the most issues.
