Razr Maxx Phone Battery Life and Signal Problem after Update?

[ravenrage07]

Got a Razr Maxx Phone that went from Android 3.0 to 4.0.4 ICS and now the battery drains faster, phone signal and 3G coverage has depleted horribly. I updated it yesterday. What can be done to fix it?

Just try to manage things better.
Get some apps to make sure that the update is causing it, not just some bad app running in the background.

If you have a Rooted device you could try DZBox or ES Manager - they're both task manager applications that let you kill background processes thus freeing up RAM, cache space, and of course extending battery life.

Infact I don't think the ES Manager requires root, but it does enable more features.
