[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeacefulCalamity:
I figured that to be happening, but then I never really thought it would help even if I did stock with one. I mean, what can change within a week when a ROM follows the same patter or algorithm. But ill give it a try.

What rom do you use?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crnkoj:
Probably you thought of this already, but do you maybe use a specific soon on all the rooms roms? Maybe that app keeps your phone awake and used battery. What does the battery manager say about usage?

Darkside was what I was using before I switched over to the ATRIX 2. Don't get me wrong nothing wrong with the og I just like the size and build a bit better on the a2.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skynetwork:
batterylife really depends a lot on the roms. even with calibrating the last cm7 nightly sucked the hell outta my battery overnight (~25% in 5h doing nothing but sleeping).

unfortunately mod-kernels don't work on cm7 b2 yet :eek:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeNiO426:
I use Aura or The DarkSide for a ROM and I can usually get 1-2 days of battery with consistent use before I have to charge it again. It also helps battery life to not OC. I've used other ROM's, but these two seem to be the best for battery life, functionality, and speed out of all the ROM's.

Do you have any apps constantly running? Check your battery stats and see what uses the most battery. JuiceDefender has actually been reported to use more battery than it saves, especially if you're already using a ROM and/or MOD's that are suppose to help your battery life. Maybe it's just your individual device, though. There's always going to be faulty devices when it comes to technology. If you can't find a fix, I would try getting it replaced, if possible.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeacefulCalamity:
Then I'll stick to a ROM. I'm not sure which one I'm going to stick with. Maybe Darkside. Red Pill, however, offers some of the best comments for battery life I've heard. To choose, to choose...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeacefulCalamity:
And no, no constant apps running. I try to keep everything as simple as I can until I fix this problem.

flash homebase(blue chronic) with blue chronic 6.2 update and then use titanium backup to freeze gmail and all social services. also calibrate your battery by completely drain your battery and charge to full, you might need to do that a few times. with this setup i usually get 36 hours of phone idle and 2-3 hours of screen time and thats with the cpu clocked to 1.3ghz. everything is fast and smooth with this rom.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rog1121:
Check out my settings. I used to get horrible battery life too. I also have tasker turn wifi off when the screen shuts down.

Onto that	I also use V6 supercharger on the 1000HP setting
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
wifi is actually better for your battery life than being on 3G. always try to use it instead of 3g when possible.

the amount of power that the cpu uses compared to the screen or transferring data is minimal, if people are having battery issues its usually not the problem. its almost always a rogue app, gmail or social media syncing too often. a good way to test this is by using Logcat command in ABD when you phone is idling. it will show you what the phone is doing while the screen if off. ideally it shouldnt be much. this is one of the best way to find battery issues.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rog1121:
I don't know if you can read but if you look I have "Use only 2G networks" ticked.

Before I would get about 12 hrs max with wifi on all the time.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeacefulCalamity:
Yo, you guys are extremely helpful. Thanks so much.

Over the past couple of days I decided to just get a different Atrix. I'm buying a rooted Atrix in mint condition from somebody and he reported 8 Hours On Display time with wifi, texting, calls and bluetooth. I'm picking it up Monday, selling mine.

I lose no money in this process. I just get a second phone and second chance.

I'll flash CM7 and V6 supercharger and freeze Gmail with the social apps. Keeping Juice defender running and undervolting. Putting my try hard pants on!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donharden2002:
Your poor battery life is mind boggling to me. When I hash my og atrix on cm7 with faux 123 1.3GHz kernel I could easily get over a days use out of it.

On my atrix 2 stock gb my battery life is even better.

I'd try letting your battery drain completely until the phone shuts itself off. Then with it still off charge it to 100% and then boot into recovery and reset the battery stats.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeacefulCalamity:
Tried that and more. Trust me, I tried everything. It's all in the first post. I guess all phones aren't made equally.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeacefulCalamity:
Can I ask for a favor? The next time you drain down naturally to 10 or say 20% using regular use like browsing, texting or whatever you want, let me know how many Hours On Display do you get when you go under the settings.

I figured that because the hours on Display practically tells you your on screen time, and that's what matters to me because I don't have off screen time problems.

Whenever you get the chance, it'd be a great measuring stick for buying this new phone.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rog1121:
I'll be sure to do that. I'm at 55% ATM so it might take awhile

UPDATE: I left it on overnight and it didn't even loose that much, this will take a long time.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew5025:
Use betterbatterystats to check if your phone is still 'waking up' when you put it to sleep. Also use cpu spy to check the amount of time the cpu spends in a frequency.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
with my setup, homebase with faux kernal at 1.3ghz and nothing syncing i get around 5 hours of screen time with about 12 hours of idle. the phone uses a little less than 1 percent per hour for me when the screen is turned off, i lose about 6 percent when i leave it overnight for 8 hours.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeacefulCalamity:
We should probably do this by the end of today, I'm looking at buying the phone tomorrow! lol.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rog1121:
Ah, well here's what I have so far. Note: It's actually been running for over 25 hours. I was just modding and it pushed the time back.

How long in the Time On under Display?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rog1121:
Not sure if this is what you want but here. I did reboot about 3 hits ago btw
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeacefulCalamity:
Yeah, that's what I wanted. So 4 hours of on screen time before you drain, huh? I'll try to aim for a little bit more. But generally speaking battery can be a little bit better can't it?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickroller:
4 hrs of Onscreen Time is good imo. I usually only average around 2.5, and don't think i've ever gotten over 4.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeacefulCalamity:
Tha's kind of bad though. When I bought this phone, I had expectations. Reviews have claimed 5 hours of browsing on web alone, and that's supposed to be more intensive. On light use, aka texting and calls, I expect more than the 5 hour base that tests from sites have made (and they didn't do any of the stuff we do to our phone!)

So in light of all this I can't help but wonder why I can't get that projected 5+ hours. I hate to be ripped off to any degree.

But that's me anyway.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weaz_da_smel:
i can idle all day and have 60% left??? try using set cpu and underclocking.... or making profiles.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarbyD:
Hrmmm.. I get 2-3 days between charges when I'm up on site (*very* light use, basically idle.. I do 12 hour shifts so my phone just sits on the desk for that time with wifi off)..

daily usage when on site generally consists of 20-30 minutes phone call, wifi on for 3-4 hours (but not really doing anything other than syncing texts with my a500 using tablettalk) ... Charge every 3rd day has been the norm with this usage for a couple of months now..

When not on site it gets pretty heavy use, but gets thrown on charge nightly (just plugged in when i go to bed, so no bother there..)

I had *CRAP* battery for the first 3-4 weeks, then it seemed to settle in and has been as above ever since..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metalshadowx2:
I was gonna malke a topic but i see this one.. I just got my atrix (mint) and i may need to get a new battery or something. When i first got it... it was stock and i flashed alien then went to cm7 with faux enhanced stock kernel. I charge it the first night and it goes to 100 but forgot to do battery calibration. the next night i cant even get to 100% now.. do i need to do a reflash?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Savant:
I use red bionic and sorry wanted to chime in.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilhyper:
So my latest interest with the Android phone is battery life. I have previously gotten very good battery life and at the end of a 24hr period with light use my battery rarely goes under 50%. However, I had been struggling with Partial Wakelocks on my phone. When I go into battery stats I can see that frequently at night, despite the screen being off, my phone repeatedly wakes up. This contributes to about an 8-12% battery drain overnight, which is probably normal but it still bugs me.

I've since discovered 2 apps I think everyone should have: BetterBatteryStats and Gemini App Manager.

BetterBatteryStats allow you to see which apps are causing partial wakelocks. If it's AlarmManager, as it is in my case, you can goto ADB shell and do dumpsys alarm > /sdcard/Alarm.txt and get a quick file on what's causing youe partial wakelocks and trying to disable them to lower idle drain.

Gemini App Manager help solve one of the more vexing problems I previously had. Many of the apps request permission to start in the background without my consent for a variety of reasons. Google plus is one of these. Frequently I find that despite disabling the auto-updates in the background (including the Google Plus photo sync), these apps frequently still start up in the background causing some battery drain. Gemini App Manager allows you to take away app privileges to auto-start in the background. This really essentially makes task-killers (which no one should be using anyway to avoid loop-starts) obsolete and is great for apps like Facebook and Skype which looooves running in the background.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Dunno tbh, as I've said I'm still new to this. Never used any other setup except that of stock 2.3.4 which sucked. But I guess reverting to my setup could well help :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeacefulCalamity:
A little update. I flashed Alein the other day. It's only been two days and I'm experiencing 4 hours and a half of on screen time on a single charge.

I carry an extra battery since their so damn portable. So in total I get 9 hours of continuous use doing anything (14 hours in call.) Not bad.

I'm looking for an atrix with 2.2 (froyo) though. It's my last measure against battery health and this phone is the best beast of a phone I'd have.

I don't use Juice Defender, nor do I truly overclock at all (besides off screen). Syncing is off. Everything else is normal. I'm thinking of applying the SuperCharger update thing. It'll probably give me a slight extra boost and I'll have 10 hours of moderate use. (real moderate use, not in pocket for 10 hours)

So all in all, it worked out. Thanks for all the help to you guys. Really looking for that froyo Atrix to get on my hands. :D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LivingChampion:
Try CM7, I usually land somewhere between 2 hours of screen usage and 48 hours of battery total, so I am sure you'll get more than 4 hours of screen life as long as you calibrate. I don't use my phone much though. With Aura, I get around 1-2 hours of screen usage and 24 hours of battery life total, but with Fingerprint and HD Flash support that's a good price to pay imo.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vulcan4d:
I'm using Aura and underclock the thing. I have different profiles set but if I underclock I may get a day worth of battery life. Sometimes I wish I could play games longer, that really kills it
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
4.5 hours of screen time and how much stand by time, around 12 hours? that is pretty good, you are not going to be much better than that with any android or smart phone. just curious what do you do that you need 9 hours of screen time or 14 hours of talk and not be able to get to a charger?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeacefulCalamity:
I use my phone pretty heavily, lol. And I'll be damned if I'm at work and I need a phone late at night to call but my battery drained. :****that****:

What ROM and kernel do you use btw? You claimed 5 hours on screen time? Just wonderin.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Yesterday's battery:

Running cm7 latest stable; Ba2tf on the stock kernel.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeacefulCalamity:
That's pretty good. What's Ba2tf? And I'm a little kernel ignorant; When you say the stock kernel you mean you flashed the stock kernel of Gingerbread over CM7's native kernel?

*edit* Oh, nevermind. Just looked at the CM7 thread. I'll flash over alien if I find my froyo Atrix doesn't perform. But still, you flashed the stock kernel over CM7's?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickroller:
Be careful not to flash "over" anything. Best to do a complete fastboot wipe when moving from different ROM's.

The stock kernel he is referring to is the "stock" (as opposed to the OC'd) CM7 specific kernel..found in Faux123's kernel thread. It has to be the CM7 specific kernel (as well as the "stop gap" kernels) or you'll have issues.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fischwrap:
That's incredible. My battery life pales in comparison, and I am also on Ba2tF + stock kernel. Maybe I have too many widgets? I set them up to not auto sync, and I manually sync email when I want it. I had watch dog running the other day, and "suspend" kept triggering the alert, sometimes at 90%+ CPU usage.

The best life I've gotten was 2.5 hours screen time over about 12 hours total. I rarely get that now. I have a screen off profile set, but that's about it
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x51:
My battery used to suck

From Stock I went to the Stock(ish) GB 2.3.4 update by Kenneth Penn. From there I went to Alien 2 to Alien 3 to Alien 4...

I started off fine but then at some point I was finding I was getting 4 hours max battery life. I blamed my Exchange Email client (Moxier) and switched to Touchdown. Things got a little better, but not good. I did a full reset / Data wipe back to stock Alien 4. I re-installed ONLY the stuff I used and Battery was great again... Was it Google Voice, or some other app draining my battery?

A few weeks later I was back to really bad battery life. I had been paying attention to what I installed.. nothing really. But I had played around with the HDMI port by pluging into my TV and trying the different options.

I blamed that since I see webtop running all the time and switched to CM7 and Battery is amazing and has been since the official non beta release!!!

Here is what I'm running If it helps:

I have nothing frozen, or autokilling anything.

I turn on wifi only when I need it.. but sometimes forget to turn it off

Bluetooth is on all the time.

Data is on all the time

I sync my email with real time push, and I get quite a bit.

I'm interested to know: Dows anyone who runs Alien 4 AND uses Webtop at all get good battery life?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
No. What I mean by the stock kernel is the cm7 stock one, not the Atrix, which you'll get by default when flashing the rom. (It comes with it, no need to use or look for any other thread/kernel/thread)

This turned out to be a great thread. I wanted to make it so that anyone who searches for increasing battery life finds this thread helpful. I have a feeling this accomplished that goal.

I feel like a complete noob for asking this, but I'm short on time this weekend and today - how do you do a *complete* fastboot wipe? Thread on it somewhere?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x51:
I usually boot into recovery (CWM) and select Full Data Wipe / Factory Reset.. and that does it for me. Then After flashing a new rom, I do it again. Thats been good enough for me so far.

Note: You only need to wipe everything when flashing to a different rom. Updates for the same rom dont require this. For example going from Alien 2 to Alien 3 and alien 4 does not require a wipe... Same with new versions of CM7 or any other rom updates. (Unless stated that a full wipe is required)

I want to clarify: Full Data wipe in CWM is NOT the same as a fastboot wipe. Data wipe is like putting your rom back to it's original installed state without your apps and userdata. A fastboot wipe deletes the rom completely. The only way I know to do the fastboot wipe is with ADB. It's certainly more thorough, I personally dont bother though. A new rom install "Should" take care of deleting the old Rom completely.

Try wiping cache and dalvik. If that does not work try wiping data also. If that does not work you may need to retry flashing the ROM again (and maybe verify the download).
