I'm experiencing a number of battery issues...

I've been leaving my phone unplugged over night to see how it drains. One night I'll lose 10% or so, then the next night it'll drop 30-40% in the same amount of time. It seems when it drains like this, "suspend" (linux process, according to watch dog) is running out of control. Is this suspend issue a general Android problem?

Secondly, my battery never shows 100%. I've done all the recommendations that have between suggested to other users (the battery pull deal, bat fix, collaboration etc), and they only work temporarily. Every time

re-charge, it stops at 97% (at 4200mv)

overall the battery life seems fine. I get 2-3 hours of screen time over about 12-14 hours. I love CM7 too much to want to switch back to another ROM, these issues are just baffling me
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hash_Map:
10-15% overnight is very acceptable. 30% is not. But without knowing which kernel and setup you have its hard to pinpoint the issue. The wakelock has been discussed to death in other threads using CM7. I am using CM7 B-N for the Atrix along with faux's 1.3 kernel and I have an awesome battery life. 20+ hours with moderate use. 16+ with heavy use.

The fix that worked for me is charging via the usb cable or charging when the phone is off, via the regular wall charger.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fischwrap:
Don't get me wrong, i'm not complaining about the 10% drop. That's great. And from what I've read there is really no solution to the suspend wake lock.

Fwiw i'm on the stock kernel, running Ba2tF, with a screen off profile for 312 max in set CPU.

ok, I have read a few hundred posts and I just dont seem to get it :(

I have "use internal storage" selected. As I understand it that should mount the internal phone stoarage (of which there is more than enough) at /sdcard

However I dont ever have anything mounted at /sd-ext

My external sd card (32gb) gets mounted at /mnt/emmc and everytime I try to copy files to it (tried through usb and using es file explorer over wifi to my NAS) they disappear.

Is there something I'm doing wrong, or just dont get? I would think that the exgternal card would get mounted at /sd-ext. I even went into terminal and created a symbolic link from /mnt/emmc to /sd-ext which disappeared at next reboot.

Sdcard-ext is not used at all

Mounting internalsd as sdcard makes the externalsd get mounted as emmc.

Continued Car Dock Issues

I just read over my prior posts, and they are not complete. (Sorry about that)

I loaded CM initially on my Atrix and loved it (still do). The car dock worked just fine. When I placed the phone in the dock, it gave me a choice between two or three car home apps I had on the phone. It charged as well. This was the case for about a week.

Two days ago, I noticed the phone did not charge and did not indicate it was docked. I uninstalled all car dock home apps except Google's, and the phone once again charges in the dock, but it still does not indicate it is docked.

Anyone else experience this? Any help to correct it?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scrchngwsl:
Sorry if this has been answered already, I tried searching but you know what searching is like here!

Anyway, when I go into Settings -> Storage, I see SD card total space of 10.71 GB, and Internal storage total space of 1.97 GB. My question is: where is all the other space? Shouldn't it add up to 16 GB?

I don't have an SD card so I set the option to use internal storage. Is that the reason?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howudodat:
Yes I get this, but that doesn't answer:

So why are files copied to /mnt/emmc disappearing, and why is my symbolic link disappearing?

I assume it is only reading /data and /mnt/sdcard and displaying those.

The rest of the memory is consumed by the system 300+M, cache 630M, etc. When I add all mine up I get ~2.1G of misc partitions, 2G for data and 10.7G for /mnt/sdcard for a total of 15G add in a few partitions I might have missed, parts of memory marked as bad, FAT tables, blah blah blah and you have the whole 16G

Bootlooping constantly

So I recently rooted, unlocked the boot loader, installed CWM and all that, then I went to install CM7. After I did so, it got the common boot looping problem, where it will stay at the Motorola screen saying unlocked in the top corner. "No big deal" I said. I just followed the instructions on what to do if this happens. After following those instructions multiple times, I am still getting the boot loop problem. Am I just missing a step or is something just being buggy?

I have a few questions:

In cyanogenmod settings -> input settings -> long-press menu settings, I want to be able to set it to open the app drawer. Is there any way to do that? Either a setting I missed or an app I can install would be fine.

I can't seem to get the "slide notification bar to change brightness" setting to work. I am not sure whether I am doing it wrong or whether it just doesn't work. Does anybody know of any quirks with this, tricks to get it to work, or videos of how to use it properly? Might it be incompatible with Go Launcher, or conflicts with having the brightness button in the notification bar?

Also, do you know the API that the CM7 dock app uses to determine what music players can be opened? My music player is not shown on the list and I want to request that the developer of the music player implement that API, but I don't know which one to request.

CM7 is fantastic and this isnt really a bug because I am sure very few people do this but here is my issue: I want to engage the "mute" button before the outgoing call has connected. This was an option in the stock ROM and with Gingerblur and I loved it, but sadly, now it is gone with CM7. And dont ask me why I want to do this lol I have my reasons. :)

Google Apps on CM 7.1

Hello there!

Yesterday I installed Ba2tF and had a great experience so far... except that I cannot install Google Apps.

I tried to download it from Rom Manager. It gets downloaded successfully, ask me to reboot, I press the volume button, it gets into Recovery and execute some scripts, I have no time to see any error message and then, after reboot, no change, no trace of Google Maps or Gmail.

I also tried to download it as a Zip and flash the zip, it looks like the same script run and the same result: none.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scrchngwsl:
Do you have the Market? If you have Market then you can just install Maps, Gmail, etc from there. It sounds like the zip was flashed successfully though so I'm not sure why Maps, Gmail etc aren't there.

Also you shouldn't need to press the volume button if you're installing it from Rom Manager. It should require no user interaction whatsoever, other than pressing "ok" in Rom Manager. Not sure if this is significant or not...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggrenet:
scrchngwsl,

Thanks! I indeed have access to the Market but I discarded that as I couldn't find Google Maps on it. I realized it could be due to a local market issue so I tried using Market Enabler to switch to AT&T market (us) and Orange Market (denmark), sounded like a good bet, and couldn't find Google Maps. I wasn't very creative, just typed maps and google maps.

I tried again from ROM Manager and this time, the phone did reboot, get into CWM and install the things by itself... and no change after reboot. I was really hopeful for a moment :(

Reverting Back to Stock from CM7?

I am using an Atrix 4g 2.3.4 (bootloader unlocked, obviously) with romracer's recovery. Before I installed CM7 I had backed up my Rooted Atrix GB Rom.

I just wanted to ask, is it safe to restore that backup?

No doubt ppl will shudder at why I'd want to do this.... but to clarify, I just got a 50$ BNIB lapdock on AT&T site and I would love to use webtop on it.

Also can flashing 2 fruitcakes instead of restoring the backup do the trick?

Thanks for answering my n00b question (in advance)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost_og:
Yes, your backup will be fine (as long as you included /osh). Although I'm pretty sure that if you didn't format /osh when installing CM7 it should have been untouched.

Fruitcakes will work too. Good luck!

Strange bug on Nightly #20 (I also have Faux's 1.3GHz if that changes anything).

When I am out of battery plug it in and boot it up, my carrier shows up as T-Mobile (when it is supposed to be AT&T)? Not sure if it is important or means anything, it only happens when my battery is at 1% but once it is at 2%, it switches to AT&T. Don't care as long as it doesn't cost me anything, just mentioning.

ALSO, this strange process called "Suspend" starts up whenever my phone goes into standby. It takes up about 40% of my CPU (according to Watchdog Lite) and drains a TON of battery. I get superior battery life when my screen is on rather than off. Is there any way to stop this process from using so much energy (maybe limiting it down to 5% or something)?

CM7 WITH Fingerprint Scanner

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I have searched everywhere and can not find a solution. I do believe this is already a recognized problem, just wondering if anyone knows of a work around.

I am currently running the CM7 with fingerprint scanner preview, and having problems with the audio.

I know, it's a test build, bugs are expected, etc. The thing is though, except for this one bug I have barely any issues. I love it! The fingerprint scanner was the one thing I was waiting for.

I use the cardock every day, and once the sound wouldn't play through it but every other time it works. Perfectly willing to deal with a once in a while no music drive. I also have the home dock, but I only use it to charge.

Intermittently (EDIT: at least once / twice a day. I would deal with it if it was once in a week like the cardock), when the phone is docked and / or removed, the audio seems to be stuck in some weird mode where it will not play through the phone speakers. The only fixes I have found is to reboot the phone, or plug / unplug a pair of headphones.

Does anyone have any pointers that could lead me in the right direction? Maybe a process I can restart with tasker, or a way to keep it from happening? I love this build, but if I keep missing calls and notifications it's not gonna work.

EDIT 2: Just found out that plugging in headphones and unplugging doesn't cut it. I have to actually start an app (in my case pandora) play music, and then unplug them.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewarhawk:
Well, I know this probably isn't exactly what you're looking for, but instead of looking for a process to restart, why not just do a hot reboot? with CM a hot reboot takes ~5 seconds, which could be just as fast as going through your list of processes, IMO

if you don't know how to hot reboot, you can download rom toolbox and under rebooter pick quick reboot and in a few seconds itll reload most the operating system

good luck:)

Does CM7 and/or Android have a default for the number of times you can enter your PIN to unlock your screen before it automatically wipes the phone or locks you out?

Failed to boot 2\Starting RSD Mode

Ok, I am a "noob", but only to Droid and Linux Os's. Not really sure where to post this so sorry if im in the wrong place. But I am realy desperate I tried google and Yahoo ect.

I have the Atrix 4g MB860 on AT&T. dont know much else about it. I need to cut Internet\phone package to save money so a friend "rooted" my phone. However the "unknown sources" check box was not available in my settings menu(Not greyed out, just not there at all). So I was unable to install the tethering app. My friend told me to update the phone, and it should allow the option to check off that box to allow the installation of unknown sources.

I had to charge the phone to do the update and I mistakenly used my Kodak camera charger instead of the correct charger, and when I checked the phone alittle while later it was at the error "Failed to Boot 2. starting RSD mode". When I pull the battery and re-boot the phone it boots to the point where I can see my backround pic, and I can here\see texts and emails coming in but after about a minute or if I try to unlock it it re-boots and shows the failed to boot 2 error.

I know I likely will have to hard reset the phone I hang on to the hope that I may be able to get the 200+ pics and 30+ videos of my 1 year old. I am quite desperate and need a step by step if possible.
