How old is the phone? Mine is almost two years old and battery life is definitely less. If the phone is that old, battery capacity will have dropped by now.

I got it in May of this year..was an upgrade from the Razr Maxx HD on the Edge plan...I'd post a screenshot but can't until I post at least 10 times.. I'm really new on this forum.

Yeah, it'd be easier to diagnose with a screenshot.

What are the top 4 users of battery and the % in settings / battery?

Screen pct is high. Maybe turn down the brightness a little?

Otherwise, looks good.
