yeah but 14% to waste overnight with out using the phone at all is a lot compared to loosing 3% on Stock GB over night. I used my phone a lot and it drains MUCH faster compared to Stock kernel.
[Atrix 4G General] blackalice:
I just tested, it's still there.
[Atrix 4G General] kix08:
No it doesn't have a fix for that just tried on a multi touch tester and it last the 15 sec. and then stops registering finger inputs

Semi-interesting performance tests using CM7 PB3 with faux's 1.2 GHz OC kernel:

Wow your Java scores are alot higher than mine but I'm on v1.8 1.3ghz
[Atrix 4G General] m0biusace:
Blarg. The lack of current sensing on this phone makes diagnosing battery drain a pain compared to my previous inspire 4g.
[Atrix 4G General] m0biusace:
Also, running the nightly CM7 versions on my Inspire 4G for a few months (from nightly 60 to around 140) showed that "cell standby" and "cell radio" used up more than 80% of my power according to the power manager. It was this way for anyone who ran CM7 on their inspire.

It's a bug in CM. Don't pay any attention to it.

I cannot get corporate email to connect. I've tried installing the 2.2 email apk, I've tried using Touchdown trial, Enhanced email trial and even tried adding in the blur email apks (which did nothing?). I've tried manually setting my screen lock, different adress configs etc. Nothing will connect. Aura and Alien both allow me to connect. I've seen posts where people are getting theirs to work. Am I missing something here?

Any other apks to try or possibly, does someone know what apks I need to copy over from Moto to make thiers work? I love this ROM and really want to make it work but corp email is a must for me.

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] beatphreek:
Are you putting in your domain\username correctly? I'm not sure how your server is set up, but I noticed on this new one I have to put that in where before I didn't need it at all. I had to do it with Touchdown too.

So what I did to stop the FC, was put the 2.2 apk on, then set up hotmail or something, then grab the email.apk from the prebeta3.zip on my phone and install that. Then try setting up your exchange... the FC will stop and you may have better luck.

Do it all manually and don't try to let it use AutoDiscover.

Running PB3 and Faux 1.3GHz kernel. Noticeable battery life differences but nothing too ridiculous.

Running Watchdog to see what's draining battery.... The Linux Process suspend alerts me every 15 minutes or so and I already have 35 alerts from this process. Can I do something about this or no way? Also have an alert from Android System, Android Core(Home Screen) and Lookout mobile security. All of these processes have gone over the 20% threshold at least once and like I said before 35 times for the suspend process. Please help.
[Atrix 4G General] thedeany:
I've tried searching for the answer to this for the past two days, and I read the PB#2 thread (in which, someone had the same problem, but no answer was posted) and I still have no solution.

I have an ongoing notification that says "Mobile data limit exceeded". When I touch it, it says I have a maximum data limit of 4 MB. This is obviously incorrect. It says it has reduced my data rate to 300 Kb/s. I wanted to know if there is a fix for this that I have not found.

Like I said, I searched forever, so I'm sorry if this was answered previously and I just couldn't find it.

Thanks, guys.

HBO go does not work on this rom for me. I get sound but no video. Can anyone confirm?

Sent from my CM7 Atrix
[Atrix 4G General] ibscum:
THanks but still no go. I'm not convinced it's actually the email.apk because even the 3rd party apps can't connect. I read somewhere in my searches that some custom roms won't play nice w/ exchange because they don't fully support the security protocols enforced. I'm guessing this would include the forced screenlock etc. A fix was supposed to be to enable the screen lock yourself and then it would be satisfied but that didn't work for me either.

Totally stumped and frustrated. Open to any suggestions.
[Atrix 4G General] ibscum:
Yup. I've tried domain/username & domain/username@activesync.xyz.com

I haven't had any FC issues with email at all. I'll try your method though to see if it clears up what I'm running into by dumb luck. Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] turl1:
Here's the CM7 Email.apk, I just rebuilt it - shouldn't FC anymore. Just push to /system/app/ and reboot. Clear app data and cache too, for a clean start. Finally try again.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/553461/Email.apk
[Atrix 4G General] h0mbre_au:
Thanks mate, will try now.

I was getting massive drain with enhanced email, similar to what I got with stock apk in other roms for Atrix.

Seems as if it keeps the phone awake, no matter what you set sync frequency to.

I will test this and post back.
[Atrix 4G General] ibscum:
Was hoping it might correct my connectivity issue too but still no luck for me. Can't give any feedback on FC issues since I haven't seen that yet. Thanks for your work!

Anyone know if there are any other settings that might effect it's ability to connect to an activesync exchange server? Like I mentioned before, don't think it's necessarily the email.apk since 3rd party apps have the same issue. I know it 'talks' to the server because if I put in the wrong password, it'll tell me so. When I have everything in there correctly, it comes back with "Unable to open connection to server"

I'll quit cluttering the forum asking about this since it seems I may be the only one with this issue. But would still appreciate any feedback if someone has ideas.
[Atrix 4G General] beatphreek:
Can you go to the server address in a web browser (preferably IE) and be sure to do it via https. And just check to see if the certificate shows up as valid on your computer. Its possible that its either issued by your company or expired or something.
[Atrix 4G General] ibscum:
Last night, I tried Aura and just this morning I reinstalled Alien and setup corp email. Had no issue connecting with either of them. If it was company side, it wouldn't have worked w/ a different ROM.
[Atrix 4G General] h0mbre_au:
Thanks for the APK mate, it works fine with my companys exchange account with no FC's so far.

However, I am getting excessive wakelock usage from

Basically running non stop in the background and keeping the phone awake, it seems this issue has been documented over many different android phones, does anyone have a fix?

[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
Flashed this yesterday, and last night after reading through a lot of posts decided to flash faux's new 1.3 OC kernel. So far working great and no overheating problems, but even before I flashed that kernel I noticed that the CPU wasn't remaining at rest like it normally does. For example if I look at the time in state with setcpu, with most other ROMS I was able to see that it rested at 216, or MAX 456. Now it's giving me a pie graph showing that it's kinda jumping around sometimes. Which I take to mean there is a nasty program using too many wakelocks. Is betterybatterystats the best to check yer wakelocks?

Sadly, I've had to move back to Red Pill. I really like CM7, but my phone eats ~80% of it's battery just sitting idle for 10hrs, seemingly due to issues with the radio, but I'll keep my finger crossed.
[Atrix 4G General] Auxilium:
You on RedPill v3 or v4?

I'm on CM7 but I haven't noticed the radio issue, I have noticed it's my #1 battery usage but it doesn't seem to be using up much.
[Atrix 4G General] Sass86:
That's strange... my phone was at 25% before I went to bed last night, I woke up with 16%. Hope u figure it out.

[Atrix 4G General] ibscum:
The rebuiilt email.apk fixed to FC issue for me. I'm convinced the connection issue I have is related to ROM limitations. Reading through other bug reports on CM7, it's a known issue that they don't fully support all the security protocals that exchange can impose. Which is why even 3rd party apps couldn't connect.

As a last ditch, I did try flashing the radio and updating the APNs just to be sure that wasn't getting in the way. No go. Back to trusty Alien ROM for me. Hope it gets addressed at some point cause this ROM is great but it's a show stopper for me unfortunately.
[Atrix 4G General] DeathKoil:
What radio are you running? Which CM7 kernel are you running?

I am on CM7 #3, faux 1.9, radio N_01.77.30P. My phone doesn't eat 10% of the battery per hour while idle and associate the drain with the Cell Standby in the battery stats like some people have reported. I do get 4-6% drain per hour of idle.

According to the battery stats, my phone does tend to stay asleep when it is idle (some people have reported bad partial wakelock problems where their phone won't stay asleep).

So I'm curious what your setup is that gives you 9% drain overnight. Depending on how long you sleep, that's 2% or less drain per hour, which is a lot less than the 4-6% per hour I see while idle overnight.

[Atrix 4G General] Alcapone263:
first off, completely wrong thread.

and Faux123 stated if someone can provide him with proof that the FM Radio feature is enabled in our hardware, he would do the work to enable it kernel side. the first step is to get the schematics for our phone =\
[Atrix 4G General] marzliak:
My specs are the same except the Radio (01.77.15P here). I don´t know if it is good or not...

Last hour: 3% drain with about 15minutes on conversations, 2g signal, no data usage.
[Atrix 4G General] DeathKoil:
Thanks for the reply. I'm going to look into grabbing that radio when I get home.

I also have two profiles setup on my phone. Screen off is exactly like yours, and my other is battery less than 50% capping the phone at 456mhz. I also have my max speed set at 800mhz (I turn it back to 1300 for benchmarks and to impress friends who have androids). I find for everyday use 800mhz is plenty snappy.

My phone was at 100% today, and when I unplugged it I sent a few messages within 15 minutes of unplugging, then the phone has been idle since. I just unlocked it now.

Time on Battery: 3H 14M 11S

Cell Standby - 41%

Phone Idle - 38%

Wifi - 13%

Display 4%

74% better left.

Now the phone did wake itself up every 9 times during the 3ish hours it was idle. It looks like most "Awakes" lasted between a few seconds and several minutes.

I used to have Batter Battery Stats installed, but I never reinstalled it after I flashed CM7 #3. Will that tell me what is waking up my phone?

Anyway, thanks for your info. As you can see, my phone has been draining pretty hard. I've never had drain issues on any other ROM / kernel until recently. I noticed it while on CM7 #2.

I'll see if I can track down that other radio and see if it helps. Losing > 10% battery per hour while the phone is not even in the same room as me kinda sucks. I'd love to find out what keeps waking up the phone - if Battery Battery Stats won't tell me that, what will?

Oh! When I look at "Time in State" in setCPU here's what I get -

216 -24.77%

456 - 63.58%

800 - 11.41%

Then I have some random small amounts higher than 800 despite having the max CPU set for 800.

With the screen being off for almost the entire idle time and the governor set for PowerSave... why would the phone not sit at 216?

DK
[Atrix 4G General] marzliak:
DK, are you using something like exchange mail account? i usually get a good battery drain using push settings @ my corp email.

Try using cpuSpy, it gives you a better view from you CPU than setCPU and tells you how much time atrix stays in "deep sleep" mode.

How about full wipe and fresh install of cm7b#3?

Also, have take a look

[Atrix 4G General] DeathKoil:
I'll check out CPU Spy now.

As for the links... I do battery calibration every time I flash a ROM / kernel. My battery does properly charge to 4200 and drain to 3600. THe 1.97.00 radio makes my phone VERY hot. I used it briefly before a method to get the leaked AT&T GB was found, then I used that release with its radio. Lastly, the FruitCakes thread is the N_01.77.30P radio IIRC, which is the one that I'm running.

I decided to dump the Alarm Manager logs and found this:

android

54747ms running, 136 wakeups

654 alarms: act=android.intent.action.TIME_TICK flg=0x40000004

I'm trying to track down exactly what this is. This is the root of almost all of the wakeups since last charge, more than all of the other wakeups combined.

Hopefully I'm onto something!

[Atrix 4G General] Sass86:
Same radio and rom as u, fauxs 1.3 ghz kernel, I installed the 29th. Battery life has been good. I haven't installed many apps on this rom either, might be saving some power that way, not really sure though
[Atrix 4G General] Sass86:
Also try this, dial *#*#4636#*#* and see if your battery is still in good health..u stated the phone was getting really hot on 1.97

Edit: just read the wake ups... good luck
[Atrix 4G General] DeathKoil:
By my research, it appears that the following line

654 alarms: act=android.intent.action.TIME_TICK flg=0x40000004

in the Alarm dump I did on my phone is just the OS registering to know when a minute passes. This alarm doesn't actually seem to wake the phone from being asleep either.

DK
[Atrix 4G General] Phalanx7621:
I've had similar problems. Betterbatterystats reports that Alarm Manager has been waking my phone quite a bit. Downloaded CPUspy and we'll see how it goes, not sure if this is a problem most people are experiencing or not. Also, as previously stated in another post, clock speeds are not staying below set speeds on SetCPU. For the most part they do and for everyday activities they do, but when the phone is supposed to be "asleep" or "idle" for a few hours and I check it shows it had spent some time **like 13%** in the highest clock speed, 1300. Which doesn't make sense since I have it set to stop at 1000.

They're Blur apps, I'd bet you have a 1% chance of getting them working on CM7. They depend on a lot of framework stuff as well as other blur apps, I wouldn't even try to get them running.

If you want them you will be better off running a ROM with blur.

[Atrix 4G General] TheToiletSpaula:
is it possible for someone to make CM7 so that it has blur integrated into it?

It would be nice because the motorola atrix feels weird without blur...it's making me think of switching roms.
[Atrix 4G General] Magnetox:

Switch roms. Cm7 is not for you.
[Atrix 4G General] h0mbre_au:
After running CM7 for a week at work, it is by far a massive improvement over the stock or any variation of the stock rom.

However I experienced massive drain through wakelocks in suspend service and email service.

Im sure these will be ironed out by proper release.

On a side note, anyone else experience every phone call automatically reverting to speakerphone?

I noticed its been happening to people on other roms and the only thing that I changed before it started happening was the 1.3ghz kernel. However I don't know how the kernel could cause such behaviour.
[Atrix 4G General] thebeardedchild:
Funny you should mention that... I just noticed this problem too, and I'm on Alien #4...and the only thing I did differently was flash the new kernel also.

I agree, I dunno how a kernel would do that, but it seems to be the culprit. Just glad I'm not the only one with this silly issue

[Atrix 4G General] hondapower:
TiBu and CM7 pb2 and 3

So I've run into a small, possibly large problem since moving from Alien to CM7 PB#2 and then on to PB#3. I have always had TiBu set to save my backups to a folder on my external SD card, and before flashing any new roms would always connect my phone via USB and make backups of those backups on my computer just for safe keeping.

My problem arose when I first installed PB#2, everything went smooth and installed correctly, haven't had any of the problems others have mentioned. Just for notice, I did a full wipe of everything after making backups and doing a nandroid backup before installing either of the pre betas. I downloaded TiBu and my Pro Key from the market like always after a new rom and picked up my Root Explorer at the same time. When I went into preferences on TiBu and changed to my backup folder, no backups were shown to be in the folder. So I checked the folder with Root Explorer, and couldn't find any files whatsoever on my external SD card, like neither program had access. From this point I plugged the phone in via USB again, created a folder on my internal SD and copied all of my TiBu backups to it. Unplugged phone, changed the backup directory under preferences to this new folder on the internal SD, still empty.

Here is what I don't get, my external SD has all kinds of junk on it, backups, pictures, etc, and I can see it all in the folders while connected via USB. Same with my new backup folder on the internal SD, the backups are in there... until I unplug the phone and try to find said files with TiBu and Root Explorer.

If its some novice mistake I apologize, I did general searches on here and google for both RE and TiBu but found nothing that matched what is happening to me.
