It's never a bother trying to find common ground or a system to help things be explained on a more logical or equal basis.
As for my personal data usage and usage patterns it varies greatly from month to month and day to day.
Am I home and able to use wifi,watch TV,listen to the stereo and just use my phone to surf the web, or am I out and about with no wifi and using it for entertainment and navigation too.

I have used 5gb per month up to 13.5gb per month, it varries.

Understood and thank you for sharing. Even though I really enjoy the life my battery has, especially compared to most every other device out there, it’s just a bit of a letdown to hear about someone getting 60hrs if they are using it as much as I am. Can you sense the Jealousy? If I can't get it to go beyond 24 does that mean I have a bad unit or battery? Or can the rest of us do something different to get your kind of results? Also wondering if potential new owners of the Maxx will expect your results only to be let down later. Expectations run high for the Maxx. Not saying you shouldn't post those results because you absolutely should. Just trying to make sense of them, that’s all. Thank you for this discussion. It may not be very interesting to many others on here, but it has been for me and I appreciate the insight. Also noticed how many different devices you have listed in your title. Is this Maxx you are using Rooted and have a certain Rom in it? If it is rooted, that explains everything because you are then removing or freezing the bloatware that is normally running in the back ground on a phone that is Stock, like mine. I think on this next charge, I might try dropping it back down to 3G and removing the live wallpaper I've been using. See if there is anything else in there I can squeeze some juice out of. In reality, I don't need 50-60 hrs, just curious

Ok, I purposely ran mine down to 10% over the weekend and here are my numbers so lets compare here.

I made it 1d 3h 37m 32s. Pretty average for me.

Display 29% 3 hours 45 min.
Android OS 20% 1 hour 4 min.
Wi-Fi 11% 14h
Phone idle 8% 23 hours 59 min.
Cell standby 7% 1d 3h 37m
Voice calls 6% 10 min.
Facebook 4% 12m 18s
Bluetooth 3% 1d 3h 37m

Looks good. I can get about 40 hours with "average" use... Again, hard to define if my average is yours, but a few photos, some texts, some HD recorded vids, average phones calls, FB app, emails turned off and randomly checking those, I get a good 35-40 hours... Thats with 15% drain while it sits overnight...

I can get to a couple hours over 24 during a workday because I don't use it that much and have data turned off, etc. Over the weekend, I was it on a lot, display was on over 5 hours, and I got slightly over 13 hours. It's usually on 3g too. So it definitely varies upon use. I'm hoping as time goes on, the battery life will get even better.
