I'm another one using Faux's 2.0 (non-OC) kernel. Battery life is much, much better than the stock CM7 kernel and I've not had any problems at all. Not started to undervolt yet, but I plan to do so when I find the time to test some values out. This will lead to even better battery life.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] plaster:
No undervolting at all. I just experienced poor performance and after a few hours had the reboot.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ratkid2271:
I found that with the new 2.0 kernel 1.0ghz, I had the the phone call issue where after a call you needed to pull the battery. Switching back to the stock kernel solved the problem. I'm not sure what causes it, but my battery life was still sufficiently good on the old kernel (1.5 + days).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bamastang:
I am actually using the 2.0 Kernel 1.3ghz with no reboots or issues at all!! Maybe you should try that if you are using the 1.0 And the battery life is great on the 1.3. I was using the 1.1 because the previous 1.3ghz drained my battery like crazy. The new 2.0 1.3ghz has a dramatic improvment in battery over the previous 1.3hgz kernel.

Hi @all guys.

Sorry if this post is in a wrong thread.

But I want to flash CM7 ROM in my brazilian Atrix but I could not choose the better method to root the phone. Can anybody help me?

I already rooted and flash some ROMs in my Samsung Galaxy SII, but the root method is via Odin, and seems me easier than the methods to root the Atrix... Am I wrong?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Alcapone263:
you have to have an unlocked bootloader to flash any ROM on an atrix. Rooting and unlocking are two different things

[Atrix 4G Android Development] dLo GSR:
why would you want a mousepad on your screen with HDMI mirroring? if you want a mouse pointer on your phone, connect a bluetooth mouse (it will show up). otherwise there is no point.

I've heard some of you over the past few pages talk about Faux's 1.3GHz 2.0 kernel? Has the battery drain and cell phone standby been fixed on this kernel to the point where I could use it daily?? I initially flashed the old 1.3GHz kernel on CM7 and the battery drain was atrocious so I flashed back to stock CM7 kernel and the battery life was great. Recently I've heard a few people talking about using this newer kernel (apparently came out 09/23). To those who are using it, how is the battery life compared to say the last 1.3GHZ kernel and the stock CM7 kernel?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
It works fine for me.

I'm running 2.0 @ 1.3ghz, only a screen off profile and no undervolting with great life. My device has never been too good with undervolting on that note.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cwburns32:
When you say great life...opposed to what?? What was it before when you were on 1.1GHz and what is it now. One person's great life may be another's mediocre or poor life. I was getting a solid 20-25 hours with heavy use on 1.1 GHz.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nl2008:
i got automatic reboot when start dial a number after received miss call? anyone got the same?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tapeworm_george:
When using the stock CM7 launcher in landscape mode and I pull toward the center of the phone the launcher interface disappears. Is there a way to get it back without a reboot?

Problem can be recreated by placing a finger directly on the apps drawer button and pulling sideways to change screen while in landscape.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Hydrohs:
That may be what it's supposed to do, does repeating the same gesture bring it back?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] bamastang:
I am getting between 22-30 hours on fauxs 2.0 at 50% now and 15hrs. Moderate use today
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nl2008:
Just hold finger to open launcher actions icon then select open/close app drawer then drag it to dock position.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] darkz:
I'm at 8 hours and 50% - my battery life is dismal compared to everyone here. I did a fresh flash and am using faux's 2.0 and it's still pretty bad. What am I doing wrong here?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] leperkuan:
I'm happy with today's results. Pulled off charger at 6am and its 920pm right now I have 22% battery and 0 wifi use. I used Pandora and iheart a little bit. But I am using an extended battery.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Javi97100:
Which extended battery are you using?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Kraize:
It all depends on your usage man. Do you UV? Set profiles in SetCPU? I mean, I could very well finish my battery in 8 hrs if I use it really heavily. 20+ hours when it's mildly used and 1.5+ days when I use it very lightly.

For example, here's today's usage for me:

^ In that time, I had Pandora running continuously for about an hour. Texted a bit. Checked my email about 5 times. Updated a few apps and browsed the market. and went on facebook for about 15 mins and went on IM for about half hour.

Usage from phone:

Phone Idle: 7hr 54min

Display: 52min

Cell standby: 8hr 46min

Pandora: 1hr 11min

Wi-Fi: 6hr 24min
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jmhs2004:
Yeah I'm a heavy user I get about 14-15 hours with Display time on of about 3.5 hours.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] darkz:
What app is that ? I'd say today is moderate-high usage compared to normal, but I'm seeing like dramatic percentage drops when I'm idling (like 8% in 2 hours) for the past few days.

I have profiles and a moderate UV set. I'm using the 1.0Ghz kernel as well

I do recall using pre-beta #4 and the battery life was a lot better then.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dirtblade:
This Beta is awesome!

Loving it! Just wanted to say thanks! Can't wait for updates!

Can someone tell me if this beta supports both cores on Atrix? About phone sections says ARMv7 Processor rev 0 (v71).

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Alcapone263:
don't hold me to it, but i'm 99% sure that it does indeed support both cores.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dirtblade:
Yeah, I think you are correct. I just installed Quick System Info Pro and it is clearly says 2 cores.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cy-rock:
2 cores dont mean the OS managing those properly ...i think we will see better results with another iteration of the android OS.

it's a bit like XP and 7 :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dirtblade:
I certainly hope so! :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] aleve1983:
i used faux 0.2.0 1.3 and 1.0, battery life is not good for me (about 20h )

with stock cm7 kernel 1.5 day.

if i use cpu spy for watch "deep sleep" there is a big difference between two kernel (stock- faux)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] waktasz:
20 hours better than stock! I'll take it.

Then again, I took the stock kernel off CM7 the second I downloaded it, maybe I should have given it a chance.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sdlopez83:
20 hrs, iiiiiii don't feel bad for you
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zugshad:
see.. im on the otherside.. i think I am getting better battery out of Faux 2.0 over the stock CM7... just installed the other day.. chargd this morning, right now im at 71% with 11h 9m on battery.. so, I will easily get over a day on this battery and that is med use.. nothing to heavy..
[Atrix 4G Android Development] termleech:
The faux 0.2 will give you better battery life. The stock kernel that comes with it is based on faux 0.1.7 with some extras.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mastadon85:
Hi. I installed CM7 beta last night. I am very pleased thus far... And very impressed that this is beta. I am coming from Bell 2.3.4 stock, flashed via the gobstopper on these forums.

I have one little issue though. When I went from froyo to GB, I saw a huge improvement in Bluetooth. More specifically, I use it with Microsoft SYNC in my car. With the GB I saw improvements like being able to use my steering well controls while using Bluetooth Audio and my car being able to read back my text messages. Now with CM7, these features don't work.

Is it possible to install only the Bluetooth files from another ROM? Are there plans to improve Bluetooth in future releases? Is it related to the radio maybe?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] franciscojavierleon:
the beta is mostly good, but i am having to do a battery pull once a day or every two days, because the screen won't turn on.

some people have posted bugs to the atrix-dev-team page only to get them closed because the team can't reproduce.

how are we supposed to reproduce it or get a logcat since the phone is freezing?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] geekasso:
Been using this ROM since it came out, and I have never been able to get the battery to charge to 100%.

Also battery drains very quickly. Was not the case with pre beta 3 and 4.

Also, does anyone know how I can confirm I have ext4 file system?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sinful Animosity:
Battery will never fully charge to 100. That's a feature of Gingerbread to avoid overcharging. If you mean that it'll only to charge to like 94%, then wipe battery stats in CWM.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] LifelessRaptor:
Not sure what the issue is here. My battery died for the first time this morning and I keep getting a FC with the camera. It loads up fine but as soon as I try to take a picture it crashes. Anyone else experience this?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] StarKilLer-MOK:
It may not, but it does show 100 for me sometimes.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] realarchambeau:
Charging

Umm, yes Gingerbread will charge to 100%, the issue is probably in the way the phone is being charged. I cannot get my phone to charge past 99% when charging through a USB 2.0 port on a PC. I can however get to 100% on a PC through an ESATA port or on the supplied A/C Moto Charger that comes with the Atrix. The issue is basically coming down to the amperes needed to obtain that 100% charge.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] elijahblake:
there's a few things you can do instead of pulling the battery.. Or at least I can on mine when it does this..

Call your phone or receive any type of notification.. It will wake the screen up..

Or just plug your phone into any power source (wall or usb)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sinful Animosity:
I don't mean 100% as in total power received. I'm talking about the number it has at the top. Don't jump down my throat. So, um, maybe you should ask someone to clarify. Of course the phone recieves100%,but it has a cut off at some point. And it won't say 100 at the top or anywhere. It'll always bump it down to 99.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zugshad:
Ok.. searched this and didn't see anyone with this type of issue..

Currently on the CM7 and flashed Faux 0.2.0

the radio is the 1.77.30P (right?)

well i was on a call this morning.. i hung up.. and then I went to make another call and it wouldn't go through.. tried several times and nothing. .so I rebooted the phone.. ever since, I now have no signal, just shows the red/white "do not enter" type icon over the bars.. I tried going into the network settings and it searchs and sees 2 ATT and 1 T-Mobile, and when I manually select them, still nothing, just comes up with a mobile network not available message..

could something be messed up, or just that ATT likely down for some odd reason? should i try flashing the .91 radio on OP instead if here in the states?

thanks for any help.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] bongd:
How EXACTLY did you wipe your phone?

That would shed some insight as to what's going on. I have not had a single force close whatsoever.

There's a reason why yours is crashing and if you can recant the steps you've performed I'm sure we can work it out. This beta is absolutely amazing and I'm sure we can get it working for you too. :cool:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] sdlopez83:
This is a known issue and has been fixed in the new version. You can go on the bugfix section and look for it. Buhitoes has a test build that fixes it by disengaging the 2g /3g toggle which is what caused it. All you had to do was google for it. Like 6 people have posted on this problem .

In-call volume control while screen off

Hi,

I recently discovered that on the beta, in-call, my volume rocker has no effect on the volume, when the screen is off(which it usually is in-call...)

I don't recall experiencing this on any of the pre-betas, and haven't been able to find any setting related to this. It's not on the bug-list either and I don't see anyone else mentioning it here. Am I missing something very obvious here?

Using volume rocker wake, but not power button ends call.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
For Best battery life use AT&T United States - N_01.77.30P Radio and must calibrate ur battery after flashing CM7, I am still having 59% remaining and 1d13Hrs have passed. No under-clocking no under-volting using Atrix-CM7-Kernel-0.2.0-ext4-1.0GHz.

P.S: if u still face GPS taking long to fix then start and exit GPS Status & Toolbox app 2-3 times it will fix quickly.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] dLo GSR:
it's because you have volume rocker wake set. that's a drawback to using that setting, since first priority for the phone when the screen is off with the rocker is to turn the screen back on. (this doesnt happen because the proximity sensor tells the screen to stay off)

[Atrix 4G Android Development] aquariuz23:
quick question, I've been seeing posts about faux 1.9 or 2.0 or watever....I'm assuming this is a kernel right? If so, wat's the differences between them? I just installed the regular CM7 Rom from the guide, so that does not have Faux's kernel right? I want to try to 1.2Ghz OC kernel :D

Oh, and how do I undervolt the phone? and how much should I go down to?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cwburns32:
Be weary of using Handcent my friend, I experienced poor battery life with it because of a tremendous amount of wakelocks. I messed around with every setting to see if I could fix the problem but it continued to wake my phone 300-400 times a day lol. A perfect alternative and almost identical is GOSms. Check it out, my battery improved a good few hours after I uninstalled Handcent. I have seen zero wakelocks with GOSms.

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

1.9 is the old 1.3GHz Faux kernel, had poor battery life and high cell standby battery drain. 2.0 is the newere 1.3GHz Faux kernel with many fixes and improved battery life. If you flashed CM7 it came with Faux's 1.7 1.1GHz kernel and is a very rock solid kernel with excellent battery life. If you want 1.2GHz flash the 2.0 kernel and you'll be able to overclock to 1.3GHz!!

You undervolt you're phone through SetCPU, downloadable on the android market and available somewhere on here I believe. How much to undervolt is entirely up to your phone, each phone is created differently thus will undervolt differently. Start with -25mV or -50mV on all levels and work from their. Mine on the stock kernel that came with CM7 are as follows...

1100MHz -50mV (1050mV)

1000MHz -50mV (950mV)

912MHz -50mV (900mV)

750MHz -75mV (825mV)

608MHz -125mV (725mV)

456MHz -175mV (625mV)

216MHz -225mV (525mV)

Make sure when you undervolt the steps between voltages aren't more than 100...meaning the voltages drop down at the most 100 every step down, see above in the parentheses.

APN's

All right, here's my quandary. I saw a few pages back that someone updated their APN's and was able to improve their speed (or, at least, that's what I thought I saw, not a putty-tat). I went in and checked my own APN's and found only one, so I added the other 3 someone posted back in May about. When I went to test them out, suddenly I no longer have any data whatsoever. I turned wifi back on, and was able to access the internet and run Speedtest, but when I turn it off, I have no data connection at all. I know I had it previously, having connected my computer to my phone for tethering yesterday. I have double checked the settings, deleted the APN's, reset to default. I even tried updating the radio, all to no avail. Anyone have any ideas? I spent a lot of time setting up my phone for the theme and everything and would hate to have to reflash.

Thank you,

APN's

I did, yes, with the one in the OP. Although, I am confused as I thought it was supposed to update the radio to .91, but my baseband still shows .87. I updated the CWM about a minute before I loaded CM7 on my phone, so I'm pretty sure I have the correct version, but it doesn't seem like the ZIP install worked.

Edit: All right, tried both APN Managers in the Market, neither enabled data on my phone.

Edit: Retried flashing the radio. It did update to 1.77, but still no go on the data... I'm going to have to reflash, aren't I?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Sass86:
