Switching to 2G usually does help with battery life, no matter what ROM you're using and what condition the battery is. But it also means you'll have ultra-slow internet, it means you can't use internet and be on call at the same time... etc. Like a lot of things, the decision between 2G vs. 3G is all about what kind of a compromise you're willing to accept.
[Atrix 4G General] :
Use 37p Radio. Best gps and data reception overall. Others recommend 36p. I have a thread on the general section. 2G saves battery because you will never use it. Download speeds are ridiculous.

This should be stickied. Went from 8 hours of battery life to this. Forced charged by removing battery, full wipe, no tb restore, did not flash blue sleep fix, all hw accel enabled.
[Atrix 4G General] :
I'm glad it worked for you.

Sent from my MB860 on CM10
[Atrix 4G General] fischwrap:
what happens if you discharge down below 10%? I did the whole force charge bit, and got 100%, but once my battery went down far enough (say 8%), it now only charges to 93%. Not a huge deal, but annoying nonetheless.

I use better battery stats too, but I haven't found it to be much help honestly.
[Atrix 4G General] :
This is a known issue and there is no permanent fix. It is a big flaw on this phone. Please don't bring up the subject again. It will create long and useless discussions.

Sent from my MB860 on CM10
[Atrix 4G General] fischwrap:
you might consider mentioning that in the second post of this thread (i.e. that it is a temporary fix).
[Atrix 4G General] :
92% to 100% is normal behavior on the Atrix no matter which rom you are running. This topic is scattered all over the Atrix 4G forums. Just perform the instructions in the OP and roll with it.

BTW, this is my 1,000 post! Love this website and most of the people who participate in these threads. :D

I've had similar issues. I tried the full discharge/jug6ernaut's CWM battery fix method and it worked once but not subsequently. The only thing that really has worked for me is deleting files in data/battd, except for uid. After a reboot, it shoots back up to 99%.
[Atrix 4G General] :
This is what I've been doing every time I wake up and I don't see 100%. It is a temporary fix, but it is easier than fumbling with the battery. Seems to fix it until you flash another ROM.

Guys, that enough for fixing the dreaded percentage bug. Show some results! :good:

Data ON all the time (in home I only get 2G signal, but in college, where I stay all day, i get 3G)

Airplane mode while I sleep

4 hours of music with headphones

I did some testing:

On 2G (home) in 2 hours, battery drop like 4%

On Wifi (home) in 2 hours, battery drop like 9%

Here are my results on Epinter 0813. Google Now, Google Search location detection, Google Maps frozen, Google location services OFF.

Looks good. Your wifi is staying on when the phone is asleep. There is an option under wifi, advanced, to set it to deactivate while the screen is off.

[Atrix 4G General] dcarpenter85:
Yeah I have it set to always stay awake. Personal preference..i found that when in an area of stable, high quality wifi signal that more battery was actually being drained when wifi was going in and out of sleep than when it stayed constantly connected.
[Atrix 4G General] :
If it wasn't for the wifi signal draining your battery, with only 2 hours screen on time your battery should have lasted maybe an additional day.

Someone in these forums posted their results with very little usage as well and it showed something like 5 or 6 days on standby.

* I am getting close to posting my results using Google location services, Google Maps defrosted, Google search location detection and Google Now OFF.

It is looking very good so far.

Sent from my MB860 on CM10 (Epinter)
[Atrix 4G General] :
And the results are in! This is usage similar to what I posted above except I had Google location services, Google Search location detection ON, but I had Google Now OFF. For this test I also defrosted Google Maps. I did not reboot the system this time.

Overall

Usage

Screen on

Running apps showing up time

Far better than the previous test and also left CM7 in the dust. Google Maps, location services did not have an effect on battery life compared to the previous test.

The final test will be with this same setup but with Google Now enabled. I will wait a couple of days to perform this test because I have a busy week ahead of me. :D

[Atrix 4G General] :
I compared my usage shown on first post (wifi) against your usage screenshots above (3g).

Can we agree that Atrix CM10 can be used less than 3 hours while connected to mobile network despite phone configuration?

Does anybody else suspect that there is something wrong with the ROMs usage while disconnected from wifi and connected to a mobile network?

Is it the lack of the appropriate fast dormancy apk? Is it the radio?

Sent from my MB860 on CM10 (Epinter)
[Atrix 4G General] Fastrite:
Yes, absolutely.
[Atrix 4G General] :
I quoted your findings on second post but the images are not showing... :(

Very good research! I am very pleased with the results. I believe our next step should be either finding the proper APNs or the proper fast dormancy apk?

I feel like there is nowhere to go from here.

Seems like something is draining the life out of the battery when the screen is on while connected to a mobile network. One thing is for sure: Wifi is way more power efficient than mobile network at this time.

Send me the pictures. I think this will benefit someone in the future.

I had fast dormancy apk enabled as well.

Let's do this: Rename it and perform a similar test with the ROMs default APNs. I will disable the fast dormancy apk as well, BUT I will set my APNs to mirror my wife's stock Atrix settings. Are you on 37p radio ATT US service?

[Atrix 4G General] :
I'm trying out some apps that are found on stock ROM on Epinter CM10. Today I managed to get 9 hours uptime with 1 hour screen on and I browsed a lot and listened to Google Play Music for almost an hour. This usage was all while 3g. When I got home I had 60 percent battery life remaining. I compared my usage to what Fastrite posted previously, and it looks like I got better results.

I will give it a shot again tomorrow and see if I get similar battery life. There is a possibility that I found how to stop the drainage while on 3g. :fingerscrossed:

Bluetooth is the main issue on Ics and jb in my opinion. Phone never enters deep sleep. The blue sleep fix merely sets file permissions that are already set correctly on all current Ics and jb roms, so I do not recommend using. I can state with strong confidence that airplane mode (cellular radio off) with wifi on yields incredible battery life that reminds me of the moto roms, so I think once we have official roms from moto there may be other improvements to be had.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
I hope this doesn't read wrong, if it does I apologize. The only option I know of right now is mijjahs as his team is working on jb port right now. But if there kernel isn't compatible with cm10 you have no options. Porting a ROM, especially one of a different OS version requires extensive development because you are taking a ROM from another phone and trying to get it working on our phone. Here is the part that I hope doesn't come across wrong. If you are capable of doing that I would expect that you know exactly what you need to get a working kernel done. Which begs the question, are you actually developing a cm10 port for our phones or are you just trying to install a cm10 build from somewhere else? Again please don't take that wrong. I am just trying to figure out what you are doing because if you are just trying to install one don't. You will likely permanently brick your phone. But if you are actually developing a cm10 build for us great! Start with mijjahs.

Is this possible via wifi? It looks like it won't let me sign into Windows live account (and therefore won't let me use the Marketplace) without the SIM card in it.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silas0220:
Turns out you must have a Sim card in. the phone for the initial setup on windows phone. Once that's done, then the marketplace and such work just fine without the Sim card. A royal pain, but atty least it works now.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loco5150:
No, I have done it many times without a sim after a flash, no need for a sim.

When you boot the device up, just accept the terms & conditions and when sign in with live id comes click later. When the phone boots to start screen connect to wifi and enter your live id and enter marketplace. Make sure though in the beginning that you enter correct date/time info as there is no sim and network where the sim could get it automatically. If you have incorrect date/time live will not accept your login.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silas0220:
Lol, you guys aren't getting it. Whatever your own experiences have been, my experience was emphatically that it did not work. I HAD to have the sim card in in order to do the initial setup on Windows Live. Yes, I had a good wifi network, yes I passed on the setup on the first bootup and tried later. Still no dice. Once I had the sim card in, it signed in no trouble. I then took the card out and the phone works on wifi without any trouble.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loco5150:
Well are you sure your time settings werent wrong, and when you popped in your sim card, it automatically got time and date from network.
