Motorola RAZR V3c
Using a battery from the Cingular Razr?
what if you used a battery from the cingular razr? Since it is suppose to last twice as long as the one from verizon? Would that make any difference or would it be the same?
...
I saw your post and had to check right away because that sounds like a great solution.
I checked the Cingular and Verizon sites, but could not get close-up shots of both to compare.
I went to CellPhoneShop.com and their replacement battery was the same for the V3 and the V3c.
But they are both Motorola phones with Motorola batteries that are supposedly interchangable, so why would one battery have better life than the other? Or is it the V3c and it's configuration and software that sucks the battery life dry?
I would check the Motorola website to see if the batteries are the same or have different model numbers. Different model numbers + being able to interchange them = V3c Razr users need to buy batteries at Cingular.

I must be bored.
I checked the Motorola site and the battery for the T-mobil, Cingular and VZ Razr all have the same Sku# (SNN5696B), so I'm starting to think our Verizon Razr's have a "suck battery dry" setting the others don't.
I still love the phone. I use it throughout the day and evening and charge it overnight with great success.

I have read some where that CDMA phones use more battery power than GSM phones, I'm not an expert and I know you cant believe everything you read, but that could be the reason.
...
actually that is in fact one of the reasons. having CDMA using evdo..the phone tries harder if u will, to gain evdo service. You can turn this off and save battery power, but by turnging that off, you will not be able to send or recieve txts, pics, etc..
...
oh no, is that really true that you can't receive text messages with EVDO turned off?
...
I thought you could? You would still get 1x coverage and data will transmit through that as well. Turn it off and send yourself a text and see what happens.
...
OK so yea again, I work for a verizon store... and yes the cingular batteries last longer but its not because verizon has crappy batteries... its because the phone is set up to use less batteries with everything it has compared to verizons... you can still receive txt and pix messages when you turn off your EVDO. The only thing you cant to is get on VCAST... as far as puttin a cingular batt. in a verizon razr... DONT DO IT .... ITS BAD NEWS... it fried my phone .. the screen became all static-like and then the phone heated up real real hot... but the funny thing was is that my batt wasnt enough to even turn on the cingulars phone... so do like me ... I go thro two batteries a day.... i have a wall charger for batteries... so have fun for a...

So I can still send and receieve txt messages. And as per VCAST, I don't use it. What does disabling do in terms of reception? Does switching off EVDO and using 1X effect reception and call quality?
...
The reason the V3c battery is less than the V3 is because CDMA chips require more battery power than the chips in GSM phones. It has nothing to do with VCAST or anything like that.
Compare any CDMA phone to a GSM phone and the GSM phone will usually have better battery life. That has been changing as of last though. The E815 gets amazing battery life. I think something like 280 hours standby which is pretty good for a CDMA phone.
