Been there and fixed it on my device. Check the battery usage stats. If there is a motorola.services process using the most battery, it is likely one of your sync accounts causing the drain. Does it get really warm when you are not using it?
[Atrix 4G General] firefox3:
If we get unlocked bootloader will we beable to take off motoblur and put better stuff on
[Atrix 4G General] firefox3:
Yes!, it geta very very hot! Even when im using it
[Atrix 4G General] Divinedark:
It must be something with your device. I'm running ginger blur 1.3 and on a full charge I am at 90% at the 10 hour mark... Medium usage.
[Atrix 4G General] firefox3:
Wow... my phone sucks ! I think ill go get the inspire 4g or wait for infuse
[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
you're complaining about battery life and you going to get the inspire? im sure the inspire will solve all your battery problems with its 1250mah battery...

did you flash with 100% battery? sometimes a flash will mess with the battery stats on android, you may be down to 50% but that doesnt mean thats what you have left. let it calibrate with a few charge cycles and check if you have a program constantly syncing in the background.
[Atrix 4G General] firefox3:
More people are developing on the inspire ... the atrix not much

I don't know what you guys are doing but just the other day I went 2 days and 2 hrs before my phone died and that was with regular use.
[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
Don't feed the troll. Thanx.
[Atrix 4G General] cordell507:
yes but on the inspire you can put roms that improve your battery
[Atrix 4G General] Silent8Strike:
No ROM will magically give you an extra 700MAh in your battery. I get great battery life, I can easily go 2 days before charging. Also this thread smells of troll......
[Atrix 4G General] Purple Drama Llama:
x2

Seems like another Inspire troll since he knows about the magical battery life giving roms for thew Inspire :D
[Atrix 4G General] PixoNova:
You haven't used a stock Inspire have you?

Yeah, too bad you have to mod the device to get better battery life. Atrix battery life is amazing.

OP, if you're at 50% at two hours, you're probably playing heavy games with a live wallpaper running and your phone min/maxed in SetCPU. I've gotten two days without a charge on a stock Atrix. My Cm7 Inspire still has worse battery life.
[Atrix 4G General] firefox3:
My phone was actually just reflashed and i was in church for an hour and it was already at 60 came home made a couple of calls and i had 50% .... my sister has inspire and hers lasts longer then mine! :(
[Atrix 4G General] NikolaiT:
I get around 38 hours on my Inspire, but only with light use.

But still, that sucks compared to what I got on my Vibrant (around 50+ hours)
[Atrix 4G General] peacekeeper05:
Inspire ftw!
[Atrix 4G General] ccrows:
I have the Bell Atrix version. Hopefully Bell gets the same battery upgrade as the AT&T users recently had received. I could probably use that extra 10-15%. With that said even in its current state, this phone is still waaay better than my HTC phones in terms of battery life.

If HTC could give us better battery, I'd probably go all HTC. Unfortunately battery means more to me than mods...
[Atrix 4G General] tripleh3lix:
Gonna be honest, I have used chat programs for maybe 10-15 minutes max, i have no bloat apps i only have 3 apps and thats facebook *which is ALWAYS OFF*, xda, and okcupid. all of them are closed and none of them are running. I text a lot, and I talk on the phone a few times a day 10 minutes at a time, and i'm 40 percent by the end of the day if not worse. The battery is really not that good guys, and I doubt trading it in is gonna do anything to it. I am coming from an iPhone 4, so it could be good for you guys but not what I'm used to is all.

Also no WIDGETS are running anymore. This has been a test the last two days and yes I have charge cycled and restored my phone to factory.
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
Man, my battery life is solid. Running trillian all day, sync gmail, screen usage around 2 hours, couple texts, 15min voice calls, all radios except gps and bluetooth on, I'm getting around 25hours

[Atrix 4G General] welson75:
I get decent battery life with my Atrix, about 20 hours when I get a lot of emails (>100) in my Exchange email account throughout the day, and moderate use of other apps. I have gotten nearly 40 hours when I don't get many emails. Currently I have SetCPU running to throttle the cpu speed but it seems to only have some minor improvement in terms of battery life.

Help I'm having similar problem which it wasn't like that before I flashed using SBF. Without using and it's standby for an hour, my phone's battery has dropped 10%. I charged my phone to 100% and left it to sleep for more than 6 hours the battery had dropped down to 30%. I use circle battery widget. Anyway to suggest me to troubleshoot what exactly is going wrong with phone?
[Atrix 4G General] zizo79:
My battery just started acting up for the past couple of days, it will drop from 90% to 20% in 6 hours withour being used. It was great before, suspecting the Regina launcher to be the reason..anyone has that launcher? how's your battery life?
[Atrix 4G General] fabolous04:
i didnt like the battery life compared to my iphone..i ended up underclocking it to around 600 mhz..and running it at 300mhz when the display is off.. also there is somethin in the settings that allows u to turn off data during sleep hours ..all of that with leaving stuff off i dont need (bt wifi gps) and im gettin great life now
[Atrix 4G General] Captain1995:
Must be something wrong with your phone. I get about 16 hours of normal usage, email, phone, text, looking stuff up on the web. My phone also never gets warm no less hot. I have everything turned on. Wifi, gps, bluetooth, email and facebook sync. Much better battery life than the last Android phone I had (Captivate) and iPhone.

Maybe you didn't condition the battery when you got the phone.
[Atrix 4G General] Captain1995:
If anyone flashes the phone or overclocks it, they shouldn't complain about battery life. Flashing roms on my Captivate I had (which was necessary to get that thing to work half way right) killed my battery life which wasn't that good anyway.
[Atrix 4G General] zakoo2:
guys, download battery calibration from the market, i think it'll solve a lot of your problems :)
[Atrix 4G General] gonka95:
After the update via wifi, the battery life was tremendous. I also use wifi at home alot with everything running and have no problems. Also switched to Regina 3D and other launchers. I believe it's Motoblah(jk), also use task killer periodically. I turned everything off at 90%, went to bed, 12hrs later still 90%. I like to sleep ;)
[Atrix 4G General] -Roze-:
A little review on it plz :)
[Atrix 4G General] rpolansky:
I was having battery issues but I made the following changes:

1) installed setcpu to underclock when screen is off

2) changed timerriffic to turn off bluetooth during the day when I am at work (I stream Pandora going and coming from work)

3) changed email to 30 minute update from push

4) using Titanium backup I have frozen motoblur biz and social networking; also I have task manager turning off uneeded things when the screen is off

After 8.5 hrs battery is at 83% (circle battery widget)

I have a news widget running but it is set to turn off when screen is off and to refresh on wake. Funny thing is that the bluetooth seemed to be a bad culprit. Even though the battery info didn't show it using that much I saw a big diff when I turned it off. Btw, I am running launcher pro, simiclock/weather.
[Atrix 4G General] Man_of_Leisure:
If you just got the phone, give it some time. As far as I can tell motorolla ships there batteries "unconditioned" meaning they wont be full capacity for a couple weeks of break in time. I get more than 2 full days per charge now. With wifi,web, GPS and all my Widgets auotsyncing all the time
[Atrix 4G General] -Roze-:
Is this a part of the news app or are you using something for that?
[Atrix 4G General] rpolansky:
I am using minimal reader...I looked in the parameters and I may have been thinking of the simi clock/weather widget. It is set to refresh on wake. I have the news reader set to update at 2 hours....sorry for the mistake, I have tried so many diff pieces of software/widgets until I have got my phone finally like I like it.

In the task manager I am auto ending: appstore/colornote/dropbox/gallery/market/mediashare/quickoffice/speedtest/swiftkey/vlingo
[Atrix 4G General] squarejp:
I was letting my phone into standby mode for 11 hours but my battery life has only 11% left. I've checked the battery manager and set to nighttime saver.

Programs that are running since unplugged:

- Phone idle 28%

- Android system 14%

- Display 13%

- Cell standby 11%

- Android OS 7%

- Wi-Fi 4%

- Bluetooth 4%

- Go Launcher EX 3%

- Amazon Appstore 2%

- com.android.phone 2%

- Maps 2%

I wonder how exactly I can lower the android system usage. 14% for standby too much.
[Atrix 4G General] rpolansky:
Android sys does seem high it is 5% for me. I have frozen:

at command 2.1

help center

Home screen tips

Media share

News 2.2.1

Quick contact

Quick tutorial

Sticky notes

All social biz (5 or so items)

Toggle widgets

Weather 2.2.1

I am running on 1.57 (update) and using nighttime battery saver. Caveat emptor on the freezing biz but for me no problems. LOUD knock on wood..not one reboot and I have had the phone since they first came out. Only issue has been a force close (3 times) on Speedtest.
[Atrix 4G General] squarejp:
It is weired, I don't know when my phone started the bad battery life. It wasn't like that before. The battery life was very good and I've installed lots of apps each day from Amazon free app a day. I have no clue what's going on.

Apps that are shown in the Task Manager but not necessary consuming CPU usage:

- Motoblur

- Voice Comm

- Contacts

- Facebook

- Google Search

- Alarm & Time

- Circle Battery

- Media Share

Please help! My phone's battery life wasn't that bad before. I could have watched hours of youtube and only 30% usage..... now it's almost 10% an hr
[Atrix 4G General] K-SHOX:
I was getting poor battery life before, it's starting to get better I think, but can you guys let me know if this is average or good battery life?

And also if what I'm using is considered moderate or heavy? It's moderate to me but I just wanna know in general lol.

I took the phone off charge with 100% at 7:30am this morning and I'm currently at 1%.

Here's my stats:

On for: 16h 14 mins

Display on for: 3h 44m 41s

Voice Calls: 10m 42s

Played Angry Birds: approx 40 mins

Tune In Radio streaming over 3G: approx 50 mins

Streaming video over wifi: approx 20 mins

Browsing: Approx 10 mins

Took 1 picture

Updated Twitter and FB status twice by widget (I have a Facebook widget set to update every 3 hours)

Received 55 texts, sent 52

Received 11 emails

Wifi on for 5 1/2 hours total, bluetooth, gps were off.

Also I'm using Juice Defender which was 1.47 for the day (so it claims to have increased my battery life by 47%)

I'm hoping I can still squeeze a bit more out of this.

I don't like the feeling of driving home and my battery is on 3%.

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] lockheedload:
Actually the inspire would be better. You can flash your kernal and use set CPU to adjust clock speed. Mine is underclocked while idle and sleeping. I get that atrix guys probably don't know about all this, seeing as how you can't even flash a different kernel.

Oh look, it's THIS thread again.

We appreciate the information. We don't appreciate the sarcasm.

SetCPU works just great on the Atrix, BTW.
[Atrix 4G General] -Roze-:
That's pretty good battery life for your usage. I would say you're 'moderate-heavy', lol. Definite usage is more than a 'moderate' user but not as high as a Heavy user as some people have posted.

FYI, we can underclock the Atrix with SetCPU. So your point is molt.

R u serious!!!!!! Ive unplugged for 1 hour 17 mins and im at 20%. What is wrong with my phone?????
[Atrix 4G General] mjh60:
Impossible. List your settings please.
[Atrix 4G General] tripleh3lix:
LOL!! How do these people get 2 days out of their phones? Do they just let it sit in standby and NOT doing anything on their phones? All I do is text an hour worth of screen time and i'm down to 60 percent. not including standby drainage. and its a week old battery.
[Atrix 4G General] KefkaticFanatic:
I've been running mine for 7 hours so far and have 60% battery life.

Display has been on for 45 minutes and accounts for 25% of loss, with "Phone idle" in second place with 20%.

Will report back when empty.
[Atrix 4G General] myarbro:
I seriously do not know what you guys are doing wrong...

I do have one app that I use that has significantly helped with battery life. I use something called FastBright. I have it set to 2 different screen brightness settings. 0% and 100%. The ONLY time I have ever needed anything higher than 0% brightness is when I am outside. You can set the widget on you page that will quickly change between the two. Personally, I use it embedded in Widgetsoid with a different Icon for a more minimalistic look.

For one, I charge every night when I go to sleep, and in the last month and a half of owning the Atrix, I have never had to charge it during the day. Usually when I go to bed, It is in the 40% range.

Im rooted and running a lot of crap that I have set to update often.

I have 2x scrollable RSS widgets that update ever 15 minutes. My weather updates ever 30. I have 4 email accounts that I have syncing round clock. I also have LP's Facebook widget updating every 15 minutes. I am on average browsing on the web for 1.5 hours a day. Tapatalk for the same length of time.

You guys could also try putting some unnecessary apps in the "auto-end" list on your task manager. That helped.

Cheers
[Atrix 4G General] mjh60:
Somebody tell me what that means???
[Atrix 4G General] Man_of_Leisure:
The only thing I can think is that you guys are leaving your maps or navigation on in the background. If your gps is locking you all the time it will wear your battery down super fast.
[Atrix 4G General] Man_of_Leisure:
A week is nothing. I was *****ing about my battery at that point too.
[Atrix 4G General] tripleh3lix:
How much more has your battery improved after that "first week"?
[Atrix 4G General] tripleh3lix:
So stats today are with wifi on half the time *when in use of browser*, background data off are... 8 hours unplugged, display 2 hr and 45 minutes, voice calls 11m 34 secs, facebook 4 minutes, youtube 8 minutes. it's at a low 20 percent. notifications are all off, weather widget is at a refresh of 6 hours, and it's on silent mode. brightness is less than 25 percent up.

Even GPS doesn't seem to kill battery as much as other phones for me... Bluetooth is also a big killer

[Atrix 4G General] zakoo2:
again, download battery calibration from the market. this app removes the batterystats.bin from your phone, and the os will create a new, 'fresh' one, so that your battery will be recalibrated to your new rom, and there will be no miscalibrations because of previous roms. it worked great for me, and its very easy to use!
[Atrix 4G General] Man_of_Leisure:
2-3x, which I guess is still garbage for you. I'm on hour 50 right now at 15%, although I was wrong I had nighttime saver on, so no auotsync at night.
[Atrix 4G General] tripleh3lix:
Who said I said it was garbage? even another hour or two would be great for me, just 3 and a half hours of "use" and it's dead, no matter what i'm doing. 4 and a half if there are no push, gps intensive apps on. anyways, i'll be expecting a 2-3x increase. then i'll be back to complains :P
[Atrix 4G General] Captain1995:
Best battery life EVER

I noticed you said "reflashed". Could messing with the phone be your problem? When I did that stuff to a Samsung android phone the battery would die in 4 hours.

With my completely stock Atrix using Launcher Pro, It's been 24 hours since unplugging the charger and I'm at 15%. I have everything except bluetooth turned on. Screen brightness down low. One widget that updates ( Beautiful clock/weather ). I have sync turned on for email, twitter and facebook. I don't use any apps that claim to help battery life. I did that on my last phone and couldn't get through 8 hours. Also this time around I don't use Advance Task Killer or any other app like that. I'm not in a 3g/4g area. My phone is mostly using EDGE but when I'm in the house it does use WIFI. When I'm on the road traveling and using the phone more and in 3g areas I get at least 12 to 16 hours on a charge.

I would say for a smart phone, Motorola Atrix got it right. It's the best battery life of any phone I've had in the past couple of years ( All iPhones, Samsung Captivate, Blackberry Torch ). The exception is a little Nokia I use as a backup which the battery never seems to go dead EVER. :D
[Atrix 4G General] -Roze-:
Post your battery stats/usage. Something has been running your phone dry is all I'd say. That is NOT normal behaviour for any phone.

I think I need to prune some of my apps :/

8 hrs, 38%

30% Display with 1h50min

12% Phone Idle with 6hr

11% Cell Standby with 7h50min time on; 8% time without signal

10% Android Sys with 13m CPU time 25MB sent

10% Browser 11m CPU (about 1 hr on time)

6% Watchdog light with 6m CPU time

4% market with 4 min CPU time

4% Android OS with 5 min CPU time 30MB received

Will see how long it will last until 15%

I just did the Battery Calibration (app) last night. Same usage, battery life seems to be the same so I don't think it's a battery calibration issue.

[Atrix 4G General] -Roze-:
Setting ->wireless network & WIFI -> mobile network -> select network -> select 2G only

But really, when you turn WIFI on, then 3g data should automatically be switched off. When I have WIFI on, the up/down arrows under the 'H+' icon disapear. Do you notice something similar to this?

My theory is that the new update , 1.57 or what ever it is , is draining our battery some how. I had 1.26 on my Atrix , went to att got new battery and it stayed at 100% for 7 hours ! i updated to 1.57 NO ROOT and the battery was draining at 10% every 30 minutes like WTF ! I didnt even do anything ! i was just texting! so im going to reflash down to 1.26 and see if it happens again
[Atrix 4G General] playin4sheezy:
I have had piss poor battery life on the atrix from day one until yesterday! Just an overview of my phone and it's usage until now:

I am a big fan of widgets widgets widgets(I know..very dumb) so I usually have a good bit of different widgets on the homescreen.

I tend to send/receive about a hundred texts a day.

Average amount of calls a day

Browsing the internet and playing few games here and there throughout the day.

2 exchange accounts and 2 imap accounts.

Leave wifi and data on all day.

With that usage daily I tend to get around 12hrs of battery. Unplug from charger at 7am and dead as a door knob at 7pm.

As of yesterday I am currently sitting at 60% battery with 9h16m since unplugged. Looking at the numbers since changes I have made, that is awesome! What I have changed:

1. Removed all widgets except 1(sportstacular). Beautiful widgets seems to be IMO one of the highest battery draining widgets

2. Disabled swype and using stock keyboard

3. Disabled notifications on few programs(groupon, soot, etc.). Basically unnecessary notifications that aren't crucial

4. Removed the ebay app because it triggers Task Manager to say that is it using high amounts of CPU like twice a day. Not sure if its true or not but I killed it.

Those are the things I have done and the battery life is looking to be double as it was before these changes. Just trying to help people that were as frustrated as I was. Any more tips please post them

[Atrix 4G General] Captain1995:
The only problem with turning 3G off at home is text messages won't come through. Since I only have very weak EDGE signal at home and can not reliably talk on the phone I pretty much use it for everything I can on wifi except for texts. The signal is good enough to text with. I could use Tango for talking because it uses wifi but the problem with that is I only know 2 people that use Tango. I wish I could text over wifi. Then I could turn off my 3g/2g and just use wifi.
[Atrix 4G General] -Roze-:
My friend introduced me to this application called Whatsapp. It acts similar to BBM/Sms and it is compatible with BB and iphones. You just need some kind of data, so wifi or 3g. This is great for people who don't have sms
