Can you post the value for proximity sensor delay and distance in your build.prop so i can test it in Aura ROMs. I was in Ba2tF and i had this wake screen problems, so i flash Aura instead. anyway, u can check using Root Explorer and go to /system/build.prop.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ghost_og:
Just a heads up, I left a comment on the bug tracker for the original dialer issue. They are working on the landscape dialer so I figured I'd pass this along too.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jimmer411:
OK then its the xda app. Since the op is a quote the link doesn't work from the app. Thanks
[Atrix 4G Android Development] waktasz:
I don't have either of those values in my build.prop.

I thought I was nuts so I emailed myself the file and used a text editor to search for those fields, and didn't find them.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cwburns32:
I am extremely calm, I was just reiterating what 100s of people already have on this thread, read the OP if anything before asking any questions. That is all.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ssmr2t:
If I go from nightly to a stable release...is it recommended to data wipe? Or should a straight flash over with typical cache /davilik be fine?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cwburns32:
I wipe cache and dalvik before and after and have never had an issue all the way from alpha.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cbizzle14:
On the stock motoblur ROM the delay value is 450 and the distance value is 60. Not sure if that helps you or anything. Thought I try to though.

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------

Not sure if this helps you, but on the stock ROM, for me, the delay value is 450 and the distance value is 60.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gutterball:
Still can't restore all my apps with tibu on beta 3 yet it freezes. Gonna try the newest nightly.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cbizzle14:
Are you not on Ba2tf?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gutterball:
Yup I'm on it. Can't restore all my user apps system stops responding every time then battery pull required to get it going again.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cbizzle14:
Try this... In titanium backup go to preferences, set app processing mode to auto, indirect
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gutterball:
ok cool ill try that right now!

Update: Nope that didn't work.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tuantuti:
maybe this is the problem with the waking screen bug. my guess is without these values, the proximity sensor won't work and it will shut screen off right after we make a call. can anyone confirm this??? I post this issues in CM7 page but hasn't got any response yet. still waiting.

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

I have these values now on the Aura ROMs, and it seems to work better but still buggy. the screen will stay on when I make a call, but it won't turn off when i put it against my ears. but at least i can hang up the call now :D can u try these values on Ba2tF build.prop and post the outcomes???
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cbizzle14:
When you flashed to the Ba2tf version did you clear dalvik and cache?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gutterball:
Yup fast boot wiped as well. Every build of cm7 I've had this problem on. No other roms give me this problem just cm7. It will not let me restore 100% of my user apps no matter what i do?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cbizzle14:
Hmmmm... How are you going about restoring? Batch?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gutterball:
Yup batch. Just tested on nightlys same deal.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cbizzle14:
The only thing I can think of is make sure you're restoring missing apps with data not missing apps + system data. I never seen anyone post this issue unless I skipped it somehow
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gutterball:
Yup I only do user apps not system. I have like 500 apps is there a limitation?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] cbizzle14:
I don't think there is. But when you press restore it should bring up the list of apps and you have to press select all or deselect. Try deselect and then manual select the apps one at a time. Try doing half. So have 250 apps selected and see if it works.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] wintermute000:
getting a crapton of random reboots wit this build.

Would get the odd one on stock, CM7 beta, the last beta - all occurs when the phone is choking on data but there is signal (I'm 100% convinced its the cause). But on this latest beta I'm getting reboots when plugging into power, just randomly through the day etc.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fleurdelisxliv:
ok ive asked this in q&a but im freaking ive lost all data and cell sig! ive rflashed the radio do i just need to reflash this rom and why after prob two weeks wld it just lose this thanks for any help

edit: so after flashing the radio and rebooting nothing then rebooted again and bam got all sig and data back :confused:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] t0dbld:
My proximity sensor works fine, it goes on and off as i put it near or take it away from my face, rather than resulting to changing things in your build prop id perform a full wipe and start over, I know that personally my atrix using CWM has real issues when it comes to wipping the data partition as well as errors in backing it up in some times, I dont know if this is an atrix flaw, a CWM flaw, or the fact that i have flashed my phone about 1 million times either way a lot of bugs i read in this forum every day could be solved by making sure a full proper wipe is done and that there is not lingering data . as for the fastboot -w it is important to note that while it seems to have more success it also is partitioning the Data partition back to the wrong format, and this may as well cause issues.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] urhhoney:
Big fan, has anybody has a heating/battery drain issue?

Big fan of CM... used it for a long time sgs and Nexus S....

Ive tried 3 other roms (aura,honeycomb blur & dark edition) all do the same thing to my phone., heats up like a toaster as soon as you wake the phone up...battery dies in half a day with 30 minutes of actual usage....(as soon as i go stock) it goes to 32-34 hours with heavy usage.....no heat up

Diviance probably is looking at my logcat/betterbatterystats log and screen shots...16-17hrs, no activity and almost 70% phone idle state battery usage 16-20% is the process "X" = end of battery

Could any body tell me if they have encountered this, a solution???

I am gonna try CM on the weekend...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] andyman_187:
Hi, just recently got an Atrix 4G and flashed Ba2tF succesfully using romracers recovery. I just noticed that the notification toggle widget for the sound mode doesn't really "toggle" anything. Choices have no combination of sound modes, only single modes. So when you select one, and click on it, the sound just stays on whatever mode you selected. Anyone else noticed this or is this just me? TIA!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] turl1:
CM has no X, so no way that will happen :) X is the X server from webtop, it's the program that makes your HDMI show a desktop and lets you run windows on top. If you don't use webtop you can nuke the partition through fastboot while on a blur ROM btw, that will fix your issues there

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

It's been said several times, you need to go to CM settings and actually enable some modes on the 'sound toggle' option for the toggle to do anything.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] andyman_187:
[QUOTEIt's been said several times, you need to go to CM settings and actually enable some modes on the 'sound toggle' option for the toggle to do anything.[/QUOTE]

Oh jeez.........so stooooooopid of me.....sorry about that!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] liebowa:
I actually found this feature/option yeaterday and enabled it. The interesting thing is that since I've enable this, my phone hasn't had the issue of not turning on by the power button since!

So, either it's just coincidence, or this setting somehow alleviates the issue.

The setting is under CyanogenMod Settings -> Input -> Volume rocker wake.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] razorseal:
How come the nightlies are on rom manager, but not the stable one?

Also, will this rom work with my laptop dock thingy?

Oh, the fingerprint scanner works too right? I use that all the time.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] andyman_187:
so im new to the dual core world, and this question might seem stupid, but how do i know the 2 cores are doing their job? i just installed quadrant and it shows that my atrix has only 1 core. i'm using 1.3ghz OC faux kernel. is there any other app that might show the correct info? on my wife's sgs2, quadrant shows 2 cores. TIA!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] wintermute000:
228 posts and you still aren't reading the thread? the answers are in the first post

TL : DR version - dunno, no, no and for the love of god make some minimum effort at reading the first post
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mikarbach:
OK, this might be also an unnecessary post, but may be some start to think, i.e. start to read and search.

I have switched from my old htc Hero with Cyanogenmod 6-7, which I have used for two years, to the Atrix.

Never ever I have seen on those hero-CM-forums that much unnecessary posts compared to the atrix-forums. Ever and ever again the same questions, and most of them are answered on the first page. And no one seams to search the threads. I am really wondering why this is so much different compared to the Hero-CM-forums.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] andyman_187:
just flashed enhanced stock kernel. quadrant shows 2 cores now. think i'll stick with this one....anybody care to share good UV settings for awesome battery life? I'd really appreciate it! thanks!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] wintermute000:
I think a lot of it is to do with the fact that two years ago, android was very much an enthusiasts phone. Now its totally mainstream. So % of users that are not technical has increased dramatically.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
Yeah this post was completely unnecessary and is just adding to the clutter.

Sent using my unlocked Atrix 4G.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] GolfCranK:
And he just asked the same questions in Aura thread.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Swiftks:
Trolling... just trying to stir the pot.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Jibraldor:
I totally disagree with you. The fact is that he is right, people should do some research first.....then ask questions or even post threads. If I am not wrong, it's the very first thing you have to agree to before even signing up to XDA. Most people don't respect the rules and get "really angry"when they get told off.

Anyway, keep it clean and meaningful folks. Enough about irrelevant stuff. Nobody wants to know about you're grandma's new toy boy, etc....
[Atrix 4G Android Development] D150shorty:
Just wanted to say, I've been running CM7 since the beta, and its been great. For some reason, I haven't been seeing the same bugs others have experienced, even when trying to duplicate them. I'm getting a car dock this weekend, so ill get to test that out good and thorough :)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] live4nyy:
Does the same go for the "fastboot erase <partition>" commands? (More specifically moto-fastboot, which is what I use)?? :confused:
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ghost_og:
Are the different partitions all ext4? I noticed my backup files are all ext3.tar, except for /system which is ext4. Are extents used for each partition if they are ext4?

I know faux's kernels can mount ext3 as ext4, so I was curious if that is what's going on or if it's an issue with the CWM I'm using.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Gutterball:
I don't know if this was brought up or not? But has anybody else noticed that when you plug headphones in the sound still plays through the stock speaker as well? I went into cm sounds options but couldn't figure out how too shut that off. Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mohitgarg:
That might work (Can't say for sure as I have not tried it) however I use the volume rockers for navigating tracks (previous/next), will see if the meny key unlock thing works.

Thanks for the help
[Atrix 4G Android Development] liebowa:
Actually, that's not exactly correct. I followed the steps at the link below and was able to get boot sounds with the latest Ba2tF release.

androidforums.com/ascend-all-things-root/342169-cm7-boot-sound.html

(sorry, the forum won't let me post a direct link, since I'm a "new" user)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mohitgarg:
I'll give this a shot
[Atrix 4G Android Development] t0dbld:
Yes because fastboot only knows one partition scheme , and we are no longer using it
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sunshine1982:
Could someone tell me which kernal they have found gives the best battery life with moderate-heavy use on this build?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
Has anyone noticed that the com.android.email.Email creates way too many partial wakelocks in their BetterBatteryStats? It's taking up 10% of my battery life. I only have it set on push notifications.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Abu-7abash:
I'm on cm stock getting 12-15 hours with moderate to heavy use.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sunshine1982:
That's about what I'm getting on this version, which isn't as good as what I was getting on the previous version. On the previous version with the same usage I was getting a good 18+ hrs regularly. Just wondering if anything changed or if there's another kernal I can use that gets better battery life.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] CaelanT:
Using stopgap 1.0GHz with mild UV I am getting 28-30 with moderate usage. No WiFi turned on for 50% of this time. This is music, calls, SMS, MMS, etc. I very rarely watch videos on my phone.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mikarbach:
I have tried to optimize my settings and tried different radios and kernels and UV, see here here. With this settings I have at least for my personal usage a very good battery-life. With normal usage over a day: 1-3 calls, 1-5 SMS, gtalk a few chats a day, fancy-widget (3 hours update-interval), some apps running a day like live-soccer updates, some news reading with apps of altogether 10-30min I got 50-60h of usage, see screenshots here. I am very very satisfied with the recent battery-situation of my Atrix.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
Has battery life improved at all on the Ba2tF release, I love CM7 but the battery life, always makes me go back to Aura.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] mikarbach:
For me it has not improved the battery compared to the stopgap-release, but at least for my personal usage CM has a better battery life. With Aura I have lost roughly 5% battery over night (8h) without WIFI/2G and have had a battery life of roughly 40-50h between recharging. With Ba2tF I loose 3% over night and have a battery life of roughly 50-60h with the same usage behavior.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] xnickx5757:
uninstall the v6 supercharger script tweaks. That was what caused the same exact problems for me.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fischwrap:
My battery life has been horrible. I'm having a hell of a time trouble shooting this too. I've calibrated, using watchdog, uv'd, limited data sync, and i'm setting bad drain ... See attached. My situation seems relative rare...
[Atrix 4G Android Development] plaster:
Your ss shows you've used 47% in over 9 hours. At that rate you would get about 21 hours out of a full charge. How is that horrible battery life? I certainly hope you're being facetious. If not, I question your intelligence.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fischwrap:
I'd question your intelligence if you thought 50% drain with literally zero usage over 9 hours war good battery life. I had like 5 minutes of screen time there.

On other ROMs, and previous CM7 i would lose around 10% over 8-9 hours over night.

It seems like my situation is not the norm for this release, so i've got done investigation ahead of me
[Atrix 4G Android Development] thebeardedchild:
That's weird, as it seems to just be going down steadily with no abnormal drop offs or anything. Maybe your battery is just weakened or something...what kernel are you using/what clock speeds are you running?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jug6ernaut:
Battery life is almost ALWAYS as a result of something the user has done/installed. The chances that cm7 is the cause very unlikely.

Could be wrong, but considering its not a widely reported issue I doubt it.

Jug6ernaut
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fischwrap:
Yeah, i'm sure its something unique to my setup, I just can't figure it out lol. Its weird cause I haven't really changed anything since when I had better battery life. I'm on the enhanced kernel from faux, not over clocked, but under volted.

Watchdog hadn't spotted anything, and i've narrowed down the wake locks to alarm manager and force dormancy.

Ah well, this probably doesn't belong in this thread since my problems most likely aren't CM7 related.

Huge thanks to all the devs!! CM7 rocks, and you guys are doing incredible work. Can't wait till I get my battery resolved and get this puppy hummin!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] XAviierG:
Watchdog kills battery also.

huh huuh huuuh huh huh huuh
[Atrix 4G Android Development] jug6ernaut:
In my experience watchdog does a really really crappy job at doing what its designed to do. So take its results with a grain of salt.

Check your battery use page and see how often your device is "awake", it should closely mirror your screen on time. It can deviate from this but the more it does so the worse your battery life will be to how often you are using it. If it is solid for any periods of time other when screen is on then you have a rogue application draining your battery. There is a program in Android Dev & Hacking called Better Battery Stats if this is your problem. It will show you which devices have acquired wakelocks(stuff that keeps the phone on) and for how long they are held.

Better Battery Stats is a good place to start imo(after looking at battery usage).

Also, it sucks...but do a fresh install and install all your apps one by one. Monitor battery usage as you go and you will likely find the culprit. it sucks, but sometimes you have to.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] plaster:
Your ss shows only the bl chart. Perhaps a shot showing which processes are using what percentage would alleviate confusion.

Right now I'm at 71% after 4hrs of excessive use. Screen time is about 2 ¹/² hours. Might be time for a new battery.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] schwann:
What theme is that?

Also I'm getting a lot of partial wakelocks from the stock Email app (not gmail). Is anyone else getting that?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fischwrap:
I have Better Battery Stats, and i checked the wakelocks. I was getting a lot for FDComplete (fast dormancy) and so i froze :Modem Fastdormancy Monitor Service" in TiBu... havent had the wakelocks, but do you think that could contribute to my battery drain? I researched fastdormancy a bit, but honestly it still confuses me a little. My other wakelock culprit was AlarmManager, which seems like a common finding. Ive disabled virtually all automatic syncs in my widgets/apps, so im not sure what is causing it.

If i remember correctly from this morning, the "awake" time was longer than "screen" time, but i didnt take a SS.

fair enough... unfortunately that was the only SS i took as i had to rush off to take my biostats midterm. but i had a few wakelocks from AlarmManager, but wi-fi was asleep, auto-sync off. Ive noticed Google Voice constantly running, is that normal? i dont even use it... maybe i should just uninstall it and see if there is a difference. it seems like im in for some hefty trial and error with this.

71% after 4hrs of excessive use. Screen time is about 2 ¹/² hours. -- dang, thats crazy good battery life! mind if i ask what kernel and other settings? background data on/off? auto-brightness? UV'd? on other ROMs and whatnot Im always down to at least ~25% after 2+ hours of screen time. my phone/battery are less than 6 months old, but i suppose the battery could be bad.

Theme is Mau5KANG: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.cerqueira.Mau5KANG

not getting wakelocks from email, at least not any worth noting.

i scaned the thread and could not find any issues regarding flash. is anyone having issues with flash player? The plugin countainer turns green and the sound plays fine but the video does not any ideas?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] plaster:
I'm running the stock kernel. I'm using auto brightness. No o/c or u/v. I have the latests market installed which has a new option that limits automatic updates to wifi only. I'm also using go launcher, which may or may not drain less battery than other launchers.

Btw, I have Google voice installed and it does not run constantly. If you're not using it, uninstall it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] ghost_og:
I apologize for reposting this, but sometimes the off topic stuff drowns out legitmate questions and I haven't been able to find an answer yet. (Seriously, some people need to learn to use PMs. It's been asked numerous times to stop the battery drain, FC, kernel talk. There are other threads for that. My 'Report' button has been getting a workout lately.)

Are the /Data and /Cache partitions ext4 without extents? Would this be why they have the mount option (noauto_da_alloc) and /System doesn't? I noticed my backup file names are ext3.tar for /Data and /Cache, but ext4.tar for /System.

I was told that if the filename is ext3.tar then that is how CWM will format that volume upon restore. If that's the case I'm concerned that those partitions are being formatted as ext3 but mounted as ext4. But then I was thinking that (noauto_da_alloc) would not show up as a mount option if they were ext3, but I wasn't sure if you can still use it when mounting ext3 as ext4 without any issues.

I just want to figure out why those two partitions are being backed up differently than /System. Only difference I can see through Terminal Emulator is the (noauto_da_alloc) mount option. Or the extents thing, but I have no idea how to verify if they're being used.

I really hope this made sense. ;)
[Atrix 4G Android Development] fischwrap:
Installing new market now. I also use go launcher. gonna u/i google voice and maybe re-flash the update to revert to the stock kernel and see what happens. thanks!

[Atrix 4G Android Development] addoyle:
So is reporting poor battery life and random reboots off topic? Surely the devs want feedback?

I've seen a slight improvement reboots since battf but still getting 3/4 per day instead of 5/6.....battery still not as good as stock out of the box but getting there. Using timerific, not using unneeded services etc...

CM worth it still though compared to stock.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] tonesy:
I noticed from your screen shot that your phone signal is light colored and than dark green, if your are trying to trouble shoot the problem with the battery, that might have something to do with it...

it seems your phone is trying to get better reception, perhaps you left your phone in a bad spot over night and it spent all night trying to get better reception, or maybe you just need to flash a different radio.
