I had a new Atrix (got it on launch day) where I could never get better than about 6hrs out of the phone before I had to charge it. Light usage.. turned off just about every sync etc.

The back would get warm, the data connection would randomly shut off and not come back without a reboot (switching to wifi would work fine).

So I took it back this morning and I had it at 90% charged at 12pm and I'm sitting at 80% charge (its 9:50pm).

Same apps (restored via Titanium Backup), same locations (signal strength etc), same basic usage... and now I get wayyyy better battery performance out of this thing.

Funny too because I almost traded in the phone for an Inspire 4g.. but decided to give it one more shot with the Atrix. Looks like the swap what what I needed and there was something wrong with my radio or something.. it was sucking juice like crazy.

Additionally, when I dialed someone I would get some warbling at the start of the call.. so far I haven't gotten that yet.. so I wonder if my radio HW was just crap in the original.

Anyway... felt like sharing and to say thanks for this thread so I could compare what other peoples battery life was like. If it weren't for the ones stating good usage, I would have just replaced the phone and not looked back.

Side note: the Moto rep was actually at the store and was apologizing for my poor experience with the first crappy phone.. He asked if there was anything else he could help me with - I just said 1 thing - how do you load unsigned/unlocked kernels on this thing.... he just looked at me and laughed saying I wasn't the only one to ask that question. I pointed over to the Inspire and said "You know, the HTC guys let me hack their HW all day long.. and I kinda like that"... and with that I walked out of the store. :)

[Atrix 4G General] bsinc1962:
One thing I noticed and it must be a bug is that when I use my bluetooth through my cars audio system, that after I shut off the bluetooth that my data would struggle to load anything. I would find that the battery drained very quickly when this happens due to my email and background syncing constantly trying to load. For now when I'm done using BT I reboot my phone which stops the data from constantly trying to load which is a pain but this has helped my battery quite a bit. I would turn on my phone at 6:00am and with fairly light usage I would be at 50% by noon. By doing this I'm still at 80% by noon with similar usage.
[Atrix 4G General] djkinetic:
I'll say i was havin really terrible battery life. What I did was drain the battery all the way down and did a full charge from the wall charger, then restored the phone after the full charge was complete. downloaded juice defender set background data and data enabled to off no wifi and bt. started to use the phone like i normally would, and got about 36 hrs of usage b4 i had to recharge it again.

I've been idle a lot though :T.. but still O_o..
[Atrix 4G General] redtricycle:
My running time increases even without actual phone usage. It seems like I need too reduce my running time by downloading juice defender. I will try this on my next charge.
[Atrix 4G General] lesonal:
I get about 27 hours on one charge

I use my phone a lot. I constantly tweet, and use facebook. I also send about 300 text messages a day( I'm a teen).

I have a live wallpaper

I use greenpower pro

When I get home from school my battery is at 80%

Coming from an htc aria The battery life for the atrix is awesome!

300/day?!?!

Pay attention in class son.
[Atrix 4G General] multimedialeech:
wondering what people think of green power vs juice/ultimate defender have tried both they seem to be similar. was considering supporting one by getting the full version was hoping for some opinions on which is better
[Atrix 4G General] ultra1911:
I get about 13 hrs from a full charge. This is to the 5% warning. I have 4 push email accounts set up and I get a constant stream of email alerts from my work account. After a weeks worth of charge/discharge, the Atrix definitely has worse battery life than my iphone4.
[Atrix 4G General] xorpion:
I get about 16 hrs to 20%. I have wifi, sync and data on all the time. Music on pandora and lot of facebook and email activity. Works great for me. Beats my wifes iphone.
[Atrix 4G General] delta530:
I find that the battery life on my Atrix is slightly worse than on my previous phone (iPhone 4). Granted I can still make it a day without charging, it just isn't as much as my iPhone 4 where I would be at ~30% after 12 hours of my typical usage whereas I'm at 15% on my Atrix.

Here is my usage for the day (typical):

12h 35m unplugged

Display: 75% (Time on: 3h 47m)

Phone Idle: 11% (Time on: 8h 45m)

Cell Standby 6% (Time on: 12h 35m)

Voice Calls 5% (Time on: 8 min)

Wifi 5%: (Time on: 7h 38m)

I have 2 Gmail accounts and one exchange account. I send out about 90 texts a day and really just use my phone for web browsing, facebook, and an hour or so reading using Pulse.
[Atrix 4G General] Rred:
Big difference here on battery life after one week of cycling it. Which Moto and everyone else says you should do for exactly that reason.

if your phone is less than a week old, be patient, cycle the battery.
[Atrix 4G General] bekarhoo:
Social Status

I am having similar issues, but the Task Manager shows "Social Status" using 70% of the battery? What is this "Social Status"? The icon is a big megaphone, don't know what ivokes this. I don't have any facebook or any social networking thing registered.
[Atrix 4G General] robstunner:
I think social status is a motoblur thing. Try freezing it if your rooted.
[Atrix 4G General] rhaig:
I use the setting profiles app to turn off things I don't need based on location (determined from cell tower). I'm going on 30 hrs since charging last, have 10% of my battery left, and have been using the phone normally (calls, games, apps).
[Atrix 4G General] DarrellRaines:
Social is all your accounts syncing. They sync fairly often. You need to manually disable it. This includes your gmail, twitter and any other accounts.
[Atrix 4G General] apolloms:
60% remaining

13 hr 02 min 16 sec since unplugged

Running 45.1%

Screen on: 10.6%

Wifi Running 1.6%

this was with about 30 min of phone calls, 40-50 texts, 4 hours streaming sirius over wifi...

pretty impressed with it today
[Atrix 4G General] hiltun:
Do you have the site where you got the info?
[Atrix 4G General] jug6ernaut:
I have created an app that will display the battery % in 1% increments (100% accurate). Its not ready yet, but when it is it should help with battery monitoring :).
[Atrix 4G General] pavankvn:
Ditto. I like the phone and android but not the battery and screen.
[Atrix 4G General] eakackack:
just out of curiosity. for the peoplehaving bad battery life, are you using ADW launcher? I tried it out insead of launcherpro and my battery life went downhill dramatically, like down to 60% in 3 hours, went back to launcherpro and no problems.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
First off, does everyone understand how to use their "Data Manager" and set their "Notifications" in each of their individual apps that use syncing? Also, there is too much assumption placed on the built in battery monitor. It only reads battery percentage in increments of 10%. The scale works as follows:

100-95 = 100%

94-85 = 90%

84-75 = 80%

etc.

Try "Circle Battery Widget" in the market, it is the only one that has been able to read the battery in 1% increments so far (That I have found anyways).
[Atrix 4G General] Rred:
Speaking of individual apps, when I run the app manager and look at RUNNING APPS I'm almost always surprised to see things shown as running--and presumably consuming power--when all I did was open the app and then close it, presumably exiting out of it and shutting it down. Nope, they don't always shut down all the way.

Worth taking a look to see what is silently eating your battery power.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Well, they might have taken up RAM but you have to look for CPU usage. I noticed that I have a lot of those random apps taking up RAM but that's normal and Android will close them out when needed.

I found Motorola Services was the highest on my partial wake so I went into TiBu and froze Motorola Services 2.2.1 and it's no longer on my list. I now get through work with 85%+ battery (about 8 or 9 hours depending on the day) with moderate usage.
[Atrix 4G General] shanghei:
I did a factory reset on my phone because my battery drains 10% an hour, thats with everything off except cell and 3g. I restored and didnt even set up an email and didnt use phone at all and it literally drains 10% an hour which is the same amount it drains when I had it setup with launcher pro and syncing with my gmail account.

So to recap,

My atrix stock setup with no syncing at all is draining 10% an hour without me using it at all.

I even let battery die many times and had phone since Feb 22nd and use NO task killers.

I tried out Green Power, and it started out improving my battery life a little bit (it was already awesome though) but then it started messing up and not connecting to wifi/data when I unlocked the phone. It was frustrating so I uninstalled. If anyone knows why this was happening and could offer a fix let me know.
[Atrix 4G General] Vangelis13:
Interesting, it's not on the "Comprehensive list" of apps that can be frozen in the developer's thread. Are you sure it doesn't cause conflicts? What services does it freeze..?

[Atrix 4G General] hiltun:
I had the same problem too. So i uninstalled it too. It also did not seem to increase my battery life either.

When my display takes up almost half my battery I guess theres not much I can really do but not use my phone.
[Atrix 4G General] Vangelis13:
Mine works great for as long as I don't have the "No Lock" app on not locked. That messes it up. Do you have something similar for your screen?

Emailed dev, he might look at it for the next update..
[Atrix 4G General] cegna09:
Just to share. I unplugged my phone at 5:15am yesterday (saturday), and it's now 1:20pm (sunday). That is 31 hours (lost one for daylight savings), and i'm at 20% battery (24 according to circle battery widget). Normal use, phone calls, internet surfing, tapatalk a lot for forums, games, background sync for a bunch of accounts.

This battery rocks.
[Atrix 4G General] Ace2:
Your handset may be defective if you are getting very poor battery life. I used an Atrix for approx. two weeks, and it needed to be charged frequently. I was only getting ~7 hours of moderate or light use before needing a charge. As it turns out, This handset proved to be defective and was replaced. The replacement handset, setup identically, and used similarly, resulted in 20+ hours of moderate use, and even had some battery life left before charging. The replacement unit I have been using, in my opinion, is among the longest lasting batteries of any mobile device I have ever used. Both the defective unit and the replacement unit had new BH6X stock batteries.
[Atrix 4G General] oFUNGUSo:
tried leaving my screen on highest brightness yesterday. still pulled 24 hours on battery to hit 20% left. about 2.75 hrs of screen on, 30 minutes of calls. handfull of texts, facebook, checking forums. checking email. market place downloading. very happy.
[Atrix 4G General] pavankvn:
After exactly one week of use I saw the best performance from my battery.

Screen use - 5hrs 15mins

Time since unplugged approx. 18 hrs

Mostly browsing on wifi, installed launcher pro and messing around with settings. (at 15% battery)

One thing I noticed is that thus phone draws a lot more juice when idle/standby than the iphone4. I guess that's the price we pay for true multitasking.

Normally i'm only getting about 4 hours of screen use, which is dissappointing as my wife's iphone 4 will give about 7 hrs of browsing.
[Atrix 4G General] jiggytom:
Just looking through the posts, I notice everyone's display usage is not as high as mine. Mine is always above 70 percent. Could this be a sign of a bad phone/batt?
