Razr battery issues phone getting hot!

I did the most recent update for my phone and now I am having battery issues.  I can fully charge my phone and by the end of the day the battery will be dead.  Also I have noticed it is very warm to the touch.  I don't use it much so it is not an issue of usage.  This is the second Razr I have had the first one took a crap and would shut down whenever I powered it on.  At this point I am not really impressed.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Common is Correct if your in a 4G Area and you don't have some perimeter's set up in the Phone it will pull Faster and one Good app to install on the Phone is System Panel i'v use it for years and tells what your Apps, your Cores, and your storage is all in one app.. And if you have Wi-Fi at Home it's Good to use it as it won't put a Strain on the Razr as pulling from the Towers..

Easiest way to see what is using the battery is to simply look under "Battery" in the System Settings menu.  It will tell you the percentages and usage for what is running on your phone in relation to it discharging your battery.

I know how important it is to get the most out of your battery life bigback5! The latest update should actually improve your battery life.

It sounds like you may have apps that are conflicting with the new software. I recommend running the device in safe mode for a full day to test. I have also included some great battery saving tips as well!

I check those sites quite often as they have a lot of good information on them....so far what I've found is that we aren't the only ones with these problems....Verizon just replaced my Razr and it was only 3 months old and it worked flawlessly until the upgrade. The Verizon tech did tell me that they were hoping the end of Aug, but it sounds like ICS bugged up A LOT of phones.
