Are you actually debating the fact that KitKat is a poor battery performer? Its been thoroughly accepted across samsungs, Moto X and droids by various professional sources AND VERIZON THEMSELVES. just google it and read. Im glad some Maxx handsets have remained usable for their owners, but to...

The reason for the battery loss on the Maxx is because of KitKat. This is a well known prob across multiple devices, google just dropped the ball and put out an operating system update that absolutely does more harm than good. Verizon i know has been replacing phones but the issue is that the...

I did a factory reset last night and spent about an hour getting all my apps back and set up properly and it appears it was a success! Battery time seems to be back where it was before the update 4 days ago and usage was totally normal again right after the factory reset. Obviously something in...

I guess i just cant stand waiting around hoping it will just work itself out. Down to 76% in 3 1/2 hours now. Thats incredibly bad on this phone. The fact that verizon has stopped or is about to stop shipping the 32 gb Maxx and only the 16gb is perhaps making me more anxious to get this sorted...

Well I let the battery get to zero and did a full re-charge over night. Unfortunately the phone is performing exactly as it has since the update getting me about half the time as it used to. 2 hours on with almost no usage and at 91%. Very upsetting to say the least. I can find no reason for...

I checked to make sure and the screen is on automatic brightness now, but i certainly could have had it on max brightness yesterday for a while as i used it outside in some bright NYC sun. But only for an hour perhaps. I also checked the "awake time" and it lined up in order with "screen on"...

Using it exactly the same as I have been and at the same places. With About 2:45 of screen on time. Except the day before I downloaded the update i would have been at 35 hours of usage time to be at 15% and now just 20 hours. Wondering if maybe it will settle down and get back to normal after a...

Installed the update yesteray morning and phone immediately started losing battery at a higher rate then I have ever seen on The Maxx. I bought this phone for the battery and have loved it the past six months, I got 2 days on it all the time. Now im seeing not even 24 hours. Cleared cache but...
