If you do it right you can get amazing battery life. Ill report back w settings and all in a bit as well as a screenshot.
[Atrix 4G General] brd912:
I just got a new official atrix battery,and man oh man my battery life has trippled. 14 hours after full charge,with heavy usage,I'm at 36%. Sweeeet!
[Atrix 4G General] kufel:
I flashed the latest AT&T radio from fruitcakes post in Atrix 4G Android Development on xda. I am at work now so it was easier as those are in CWM .zip format.

Tonight I will try the steps to calibrate as well even though I am getting charged up to 4200mV
[Atrix 4G General] KeRmiT80:
i have at&t atrix, i tried to flash the radio using the fruitcake zip and cwm...it finished the process with no error, complete but the old radio still there.

i could upgrade the radio only by sbf, so check in system info ;)

in battery calibration app if you already see a value around 4000 mv (more or less)

it's not needed to do all those steps of the other thread, that's useful only when your battery stats have been messed by a cwm flash and your phone thinks it's fully charged with 3000 mv
[Atrix 4G General] thegregulator:
There should be a zip radio there too. I know kenn has a zip at&t radio thread in the development section, I'm just not sure if it's the latest radio or not.
[Atrix 4G General] luizffgarcia:
Anyone knows if is it safe to use RSD to flash just a radio now that i am using CM7?

I use the latest .30P AT&T radio, but i want to go back to my previous one, this new one is not working very well for my carrier...
[Atrix 4G General] Phoneguy589:
Yes it is safe. Just did it yesterday.
[Atrix 4G General] luizffgarcia:
Can you please describe me the procedure? It would be of great value for me since i know RSD can mess things up when you do something wrong :)

Thanks

I know I've been raving about the great GPS performance, but I'm going to have to revise that. It seems that the performance degrades over time, whether I use the gps.conf that comes with the ROM or substitute the one that comes stock with AT&T phones. It isn't just the lock times, it's the received signal strength of the individual satellites and the ability to fix on them (as observed using the GPS Status and Toolbox app from the Market).

Just giving a heads up to those considering using this as a daily driver. I'm still very impressed by the overall performance of the ROM, given that it's a pre-beta, but for now I'm back with Alien. This thing will be amazing once it's fully stable, though.
[Atrix 4G General] TheMan0790:
For some reason, my sd-card shows up as having no space left (when it clearly does). Anyone know how to fix this? Its giving me problems for apps that back stuff up to the sd-card, such as Color Note. Thanks for the replies.
[Atrix 4G General] Blind_Guardian:
I've had the same issue with every build. I would guess that it probably has something to do with the RIL hack they had to use.

I'm guessing you are having lock issues and if it locks it won't maintain that lock for long?

I've had times where it takes a good 3-5 minutes just to lock and sometimes the lock only lasts a minute before it's gone.
[Atrix 4G General] ickingfudiot:
Anyone else had issues with speakerphone and display turning off?

My display turns off with speaker and the only way to turn it back on is the power button. But that hangs up on the caller (in CM7 at least, don't recall if it does on stock Atrix?)
[Atrix 4G General] katinatez:
Jumped ship

I totally love this ROM have been running it for maybe 2 weeks. But I noticed I no longer get phone calls. Every day it seemed I had voicemail so I asked the wife to call me and I realized I have no ring when she tried to call thats why I was missing all my phone calls. I then went to settings/ ringtones and it would force close on me. So going back to Alien until this comes out of beta. Once its stable I will come back and donate to the cause.
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
I just wanted to make everyone aware that I'm having the same problem as some others. LOVE this ROM and it's lightning fast and works well, but don't install SetCPU or as far as I know, any other program that modifies and sets the CPU speed at a min / max. U can do that within CM7 and that's where I would suggest doing it, because no other program has worked properly for me. You can set the min / max and it looks right maybe but the CPU will run at the MAX that you set instead of running normally. As I said, several other people had this problem I believe, I just don't wanna see anybody burn their CPU up. =D Other than that, does anyone have any alternative camera options besides Angel camera? And camcorder as well? TY in advance. :)
[Atrix 4G General] Blind_Guardian:
I've been using SetCPU with Cm7 for a while now and it's been working fine for me.
[Atrix 4G General] cwburns32:
Somewhere in CM7 is an option for volume rocker wake, I use that to turn the screen back on because I have the same problem.
[Atrix 4G General] cwburns32:
Don't know exactly what you are talking about I've had SetCPU running on my CM7 Atrix since CM7 came out with it's first pre beta build. I have mine set to 1100 max and 456 min when I'm using the phone and I see the CPU bounce all over the place. Works perfectly fine for me, especially with my profiles and me undervolting.
[Atrix 4G General] JuGGerbad:
So I constantly have a notification in the menu bar at the top of the screen for 'Mobile Data Limit Exceeded'. It specifies I've gone over my 4MB maximum. Anyway to disable this or bump up the limit it thinks I have? Cause 4MB seems a tad small and theres no way to get rid of that damn notification
[Atrix 4G General] whatsaqazza:
That's actually a known bug, I cant remember how people got around it, but it is fixed on the issues list.
[Atrix 4G General] OSNPA:
Some people have success, some people don't. I suggest to anyone to try it out but not tell it to set on boot in case it freezes up with the settings.

Ironically, this is the only ROM that my phone has accepted undervolting through setCPU with.
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
Well here's the thing, I noticed even if I set the min/max settings through cm7's performance tab,the settings don't stick. Like, if I monitor my CPU it shows it using 11000 even though I have it set to stop at 912. Soooo I dunno....weird.
[Atrix 4G General] BravoMotorola:
How did you oc to 11000??? OMFG lol.
[Atrix 4G General] JuanDaDon86:
I got a ram issue after flashing I have like 500 mb ram im on aura now
[Atrix 4G General] kufel:

Aaaaaaaa :):):) did not notice :):)
[Atrix 4G General] Will of fire:
I love this rom but i cant live without the camera maybe when its out of pre beta i will be back. ;(
[Atrix 4G General] thegregulator:
Samesies.. Unfortunately the camera apps that did work didn't take great quality pictures (lack of focus maybe?). As soon as this is in beta I'll be sure to check it out though!
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
Yeh lol sorry bout the typo earlier no I did not overclock my system to 11000 haha. So far I am totally loving this rom but I agree, difficult to live without the camera. I think I may stick with it tho. very highly customizable and I'm able to do things u just can't do with any other Rom I've seen.
[Atrix 4G General] martyman19828:
My display render settings change back to default after reboot. Anyone else confirm?
[Atrix 4G General] rezlmet:
has anybody tried running quadrant? whats the results for the 2nd and 3rd run?
[Atrix 4G General] joachim123:
i believe thats normal for CM ROMS, does the same thing with my HTC Aria.
[Atrix 4G General] AnalogXDA:
Well...sometimes. The real problem is that it's inconsistent, and it's not that way with stock ROMS (for me, anyway). I hope you're right about it being due to the RIL problems, as I assume these are high priority for being fixed.
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
I'm having serious issues. Every time I turn my phone on and use it for any length of time, the responsiveness is lightning fast and my battery is lasting waaaay too long. Fix?

[Atrix 4G General] Gvndeb60:
Oh that's easy, soak in lukewarm water for 30 minutes. Works every time.

Battery drain

So - I am in the group that experiences extremely short battery life.

Cell Standby and Phone Idle exceeds Display regardless of amount of time you spend using the phone.

Battery level drops about 10-12%/hr without touching the phone. If you use it the battery won't even last 8 hrs.

Because of Cell Standby and Phone Idle stats I suspected the radio software to be a culprit... Went through EVERY radio for Atrix I could find. Radios coming with GB builds seem to be worse then Froyo radios (marginally). The latest I used was N_01.92.00R which my buddy who runs GreyBlur uses. His phone drops 30% in 6hrs and this includes normal usage. Yet on mine I still observe 10%/hr or more without any activity. So - I do not know where do the statistics come from others reporting 2 days on the battery with CM7 - something is screwed up on 2.3.x for Atrix regardless of the build. I had the same drain on French 2.3.4, on Bell's 2.3.4 and now on CM7.
[Atrix 4G General] Pinch:
Damn! I was following your posts hoping for a fix since I have the same problem as you: this started after upgrading to 2.3.4, bla bla. I'm starting to doubt that the battery itself is dying but other people are seeing the same patern as this so I'm hoping for a fix still. I also did the recal/drain thing.. nope! I guess this has nothing to do with cm7 anymore.
[Atrix 4G General] JuGGerbad:
honestly I have the same issues as you two regarding battery drain caused by cell standby and phone idle. however while i was using ken's Alien ROM this was not the case. Phenomenal battery life with his, idle being the biggest consumer when not in use and screen when in use. i have also flashed both version of cm7 thus far and the cell standby still continues to be the biggest culprit.
[Atrix 4G General] Rickroller:
Even though Cell Standby and Phone Idle are always my biggest "drains"..ive been getting great battery life since going to CM7 pre-beta 1. I came from Alien ROM and while that one was marginally better..i noticed a huge improvement going to CM7. I've even been too leary to try out prebeta 2 in case something happens and my battery life goes back to what it was lol (8-10hrs).

I agree though..there is definately something in Gingerbread that is draining the battery on most peoples phones (obviously software affects everyone a little different).
[Atrix 4G General] kufel:
Unfortunately as far as I understand Alien build is not for international, correct?

What was the kernel and battery versions on your Alien if you remember?
[Atrix 4G General] JuGGerbad:
sorry man i dont remember at all. I'm pretty sure the ROM was based off the stock GB kernel though if i recall correctly.
[Atrix 4G General] thegregulator:
As long as you flash a kernel suitable for international phones before you boot into alien you'll be fine. Faux's new gb kernel unites all builds and works well for me. Just remember to flash alien, wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash faux's kernel before booting into alien for the first time.
[Atrix 4G General] kufel:
Ok Thx. I will try that if bat drain is not resolved for a couple more days.
[Atrix 4G General] Pinch:
OK me too..
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
I know everyone most likely knows. But I'll post this again just in case people didn't / don't / like to flash things quickly. If you don't erase /boot before flashing the possiblity exists for your old kernel's data not to be completely erased. Doing a factory reset / clearing cache / clearing Dalvik cache is NOT going to erase everything. Always remember to use fastboot or moto-fastboot to:

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase user data

fastboot erase webtop

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase preinstall

JUST to make sure everythings gone. =D
[Atrix 4G General] Pinch:
OK, never did use fastboot to erase things before a flash.. Thanks for the tip
[Atrix 4G General] thegregulator:
There's a guide like this in another thread and at the end it says to go into recovery and format your system and data after the fastboot wipe. Would it still be necessary after following your instructions? I'm just curious is all.
[Atrix 4G General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
ok does anyone have a flashable zip or something to switch my emmc to sd card and so on ?

vplayer and most of the **** cant be read.

i kinda need help in this

thanks
[Atrix 4G General] thebeardedchild:
What is the "preinstall" the gets erased? And just curiously, what does the fastboot -w command do? Isn't it basically just the factory reset that we see in CWM + cache + dalvik?
[Atrix 4G General] kix08:
Hmm I've been reading about alot of different problems but I haven't read anything about this. It not so much as a problem as eye candy. Ok so I have Animations set to all every were and I'm missing the screen rotate animation. Its a big improvement visually for my phone. It was onething I was jealous of the iPhone (probably) the only thing :D
[Atrix 4G General] kufel:
Yeap. Works fine. not too much time passed since flashing but cell standby and phone idle are realy low. Restoring apps via titanium and I shall see if this will not cause the values to go up. there is always possibility that some stupid app was accessing the radio constantly.....
[Atrix 4G General] kufel:
I don't know how KennethPann did it but I had battery drain on all 2.3.x builds (Bell, French and CM7) yet on Alien it is just dandy.... May I suggest CM7 team get in touch with the man?? Well - MotoGoogle ppl should get in touch with all devs from this forum.... :):):)P
[Atrix 4G General] SS2006:
any word on next release
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:
Not that I'm aware of. Not many new issues have popped up on the Google code page, so I'm guessing that the beta will be coming out soon. Also, any chance the d3 camera app could be included instead of the current? It sucks hardcore. I mean sucks quality wise. Not fc wise.
[Atrix 4G General] thebeardedchild:
Nope, D3 camera isn't part of CM7 normally, so it can't be included
[Atrix 4G General] Krshaw18:
They won't include anything but stock CM7 AOSP apps. I'm sure you could flash it tho ;)
[Atrix 4G General] SolidHelix:
Pardon me for not reading every page of this thread, I did do a search. But is it a known bug that the external sd card is not recognized? it says on the official bug thread that it is working.... but I cannot get it to

Anyone find a way to get the stock keyboard to work?
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:

[Atrix 4G General] BravoMotorola:
I don't like that post all too much. Is it not referring to the beautiful Cyanogenmod we have for the Atrix provided by the extremely hard working Atrix-Dev-Team as "****"? People should be leaving that language alone on these threads, anyways.
[Atrix 4G General] dmbrown81:
So is the angel camera the only option? And is there a camcorder app I can download?

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] npumcrisz:
No webtop on this rom hence how do we play files using the HDMI port?
[Atrix 4G General] devize:
I don't think he meant that the work is '****', it's more of a slang way of saying 'this thing' or something along those lines.
[Atrix 4G General] npumcrisz:
I need a camcorder also.
[Atrix 4G General] Phoneguy589:
You don't...It's being tested by "US" and others to help the DEV team create a full working version. It will come in time and if I knew more about code and programming I'd be helping as well.

After downloading about 15 camera apps, Angel was the only one I found that was most reliable but by no means great. For taking a pic...it works.
[Atrix 4G General] Jotokun:
CM7 has HDMI Mirroring built into it. Just plug your HDMI cord into your Atrix and screen of choice, and it'll automatically kick in. Appears to be portrait only though.
[Atrix 4G General] wintermute000:
Why not make this the stock option for the Atrix CM7 port?

I mean its fairly standard linux stuff and yes you want to keep to the 'cyanogen' way as much as possible, but since everybody flashing CM7 on atrix by definition has an atrix, and is going to run into this issue, why not just keep it this way??!?!!?
[Atrix 4G General] Anthonok:
because you could just put an external sd card in for the apps that can't seem to figure it out...

[Atrix 4G General] bubsnews:
NO NO NO!!! NEVER soak your phone in lukewarm water, EVER!!! It should be cold water.
[Atrix 4G General] dmbrown81:
Just so I understand, the way CM7 works is that your micro sd-card (external memory) is now your main storage where everything gets stored too like, apps, music, downloads, etc..) And your phone's internal storage is used for extra space? This isn't a complaint I'm just thrilled learning how this stuff works.
[Atrix 4G General] samcripp:
cyanogen was created during a time phones had smaller internal memory, so is their practice to call internal emmc, which by all means it is. and it does require you to have an external sd card.

this is a 100% compatible port of cm7, our goal is to get it to nightlies and for them to maintain it. and to accomplish this we must keep all their original scheme

including calling the internal memory emmc. once is off our hands complaint to cm, they are the ones that can call the shots and call it sdcard for yall. but as far as the atrix-dev-team is concern, we are following the correct cm scheme.
[Atrix 4G General] Blind_Guardian:
Unless I am mistaken that is the default android method. Internal storage is always mounted as emmc (Embedded Multi Media Card) and the sd-card is mounted as an sdcard. If you don't have an sdcard or just want to use the internal storage as an sdcard it can be mounted that way by editing your vold.fstab file, but then your actual sdcard would have to be mounted as emmc.
[Atrix 4G General] dmbrown81:
This is great, I just want make sure I'm managing it correctly. So what would happen if I were to swap sd cards?
[Atrix 4G General] Anthonok:
I just don't unstandard why it's so hard for these people to grasp that CM7 will not be changed to accommodate them. You guys are following "The rules" which I'm sure those of us that know what CM7 is, greatly appreciate.

[Atrix 4G General] NoNameAtAll:
Wow. Just wow. Sorry to hear that you had to deal with such an ingrate. It's one thing to simply ask why internal storage is mounted as emmc (Hey, I never knew why until I read this thread! :P). But going so far as to insult when you're doing this out of the goodness of your heart is quite appalling.
[Atrix 4G General] DMoney9779:

[Atrix 4G General] Anthonok:
HAHA! You tell that stupid F*ck like it is Sam. People need to get over it already. That's just how it is in cm7, boohoo. If they hate it that much they need to learn to dev and do it on their own.
[Atrix 4G General] KeRmiT80:
question:

i see in my xoom that /mnt/external1 is visible also as "MicroSD" folder in rootexp

(same way as /mnt/sdcard is also visible as "sdcard" )

how can i do that?

because if we can mount the /mnt/emmc to the folder "sdcard-ext" there is no more problem for all the users!

i have all games data in internalsd so switching mounting point was necessary (move big data thru sds is a pain)

but i think that normal user do not navigate in /mnt...just search for sdcard and sdcard-ext, so none cares where those folder really point to (i think :) )

it's just to add the instruction to the other thread and put the link in the first post of this, who wants can use it, and none breaks the cm philosophy
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
In response to the people who posted a few pages ago about the wiping with fastboot and also restarting and wiping in recovery mode, yes I do both. Its a lot of wiping, and some may be unnecessary, but i've always done it and never had a problem with information leaking from an old rom to a new one. Good luck all, and thanks for everyones hard work.
[Atrix 4G General] JaronBang:
I highly anticipate all the fruits from the devs work. I am also very appreciative of every post as they are also pretty educational as to how google intended the platform to work. I spend so much time reading responses in this thread and feel like I have not wasted a minute of my time. It is unfortunate that some people can be so disrespectful.

Also I've gotten a third Atrix, due to my work environment. However this time it came with 2.3.4. I'm kind of reluctant to start unlocking and flashing in CM again because i'm on stock AT&T 4.5.xx... anything I should worry about?
[Atrix 4G General] jimmer411:
Not everybody is familiar with how CM7 works on other phones (my first android phone) so coming from a stock Atrix to CM7 to find that tibu files are not there and my internal storage was full was a bit aggravating until I migrated my files and adjusted to the new to me file paths.

I fail to see where he insulted you, but I commend you on taking the high road by telling him to suck a ****. Classy.

A short disclaimer explaining the differences for first time android users and general idiots goes a long way.
[Atrix 4G General] thebeardedchild:
I greatly understand where you're coming from, as I am a first time Android user as well. A lot of times things can get pretty frustrating when people act like something is clear as day when it certainly is not to my untrained eyes.

However, as classless as you may think Sam to have been, he has answered question after question after question about the sdcard/emmc stuff, and clearly to no avail. And when people blatantly call him an idiot (that's where that guy insulted Sam in the issue report), you can probably understand his immense frustration.

Plus, CM7 isn't new. Sam or the Atrix dev team should by no means be required to write a short "disclaimer" when such information is readily available should someone research cyanogenmod a little more before flashing.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
That's the problem. If these "noobs" don't bother to read the thread or any other available info then what makes you think they'll take the time to read a disclaimer?
[Atrix 4G General] Atrixx:
Hey, im not asking for an ETA or anything, but im thinking of flashing the prebeta #2.

Should i flash it, or wait for further development?
