[Atrix 4G General] tha5150:
last night the phone was fully charged at 7pm. made no calls, went on the web for 10 minutes, checked my alarm to be sure it was set. at this point it was 9pm at 70%. woke up this morning at 23% at 6am.

what the heck is going on? i have to say, i never had this problem before i did the ODEX Mod. but noticed it started around the same time that i also installed the Weatherbug app which is always updating. so i deleted that.

is there anything i can do to check what exactly is using the battery?
[Atrix 4G General] kalte84:
I'm using SystemPanel (paid), because it has a monitoring tool, and allows me to check the which apps are in used.

It did help me weed out certain bad apps that were taking up resources.
[Atrix 4G General] Vangelis13:
Which apps were those?
[Atrix 4G General] Spikevyxel:
9 Hours 55 Minutes since last unplugged.

Phone idle - 60%

Cell Standby - 24%

Display - 17%

Battery is still at 90+ percent.

I don't have any program managers running other than the factory system manager which has nothing on its terminate list. Something is definitely up with some program or mod you have done.
[Atrix 4G General] kalte84:
To be honest with you, I can't recall because I was using those when I got the Captivate months ago...on top of my head, the official facebook app, some random battery widgets, but mostly have been updated since or I stopped using those.

I do have to add, I'm not sure how well the SystemPanel reports on the Atrix, because it shows as single core. I'm going to check with the dev.

Mine was unplugged (fully charged) from 8pm yesterday through now (12.30pm, and I still have 40%. (approximately 16.5 hrs?).

I left emails on (MailDroid, with sound/vibrate off from 12am - 7am), light flow LED night save mode off, battery to performance mode).

My widgets on screen (currently on the Atrix): 3G watchdog, LauncherPro's facebook widget and calendar widget, GTask, Catch notes, 2 sets of extended controls and beautiful widgets home.
[Atrix 4G General] technillion:
blame Weather Bug...

...had the exact same problem. Uninstalled WeatherBug and that fixed it!
[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
me too had the same problem with weather bug, if you really want a weather widget get one that you can set how often it downloads data. i use sense home clock with weather set to refresh every 3 hours.
[Atrix 4G General] tha5150:
i uninstalled weatherbug and still having the same problem. before the Atrix i was on the Droid X and had to SBF to get rid of the issue with weatherbug killing my battery. i proved it with a friend. very very odd..

what i want to do now is SBF this phone, but how? i have ODEX'd or whatever and rooted.

how do i get it back to out of box state?
[Atrix 4G General] neotekz:
give the phone some time to recalibrate the battery stats or you may have other apps that are still draining your battery
[Atrix 4G General] tha5150:
nah, its already been 2 weeks almost i have been dealing with it. not sleeping well at night cause i think my phone will die overnight and not wake me up in the morning hah.

isnt there a way to sorta SBF this since there hasnt been any real development yet for ROM's??
[Atrix 4G General] tha5150:
or will a factory reset be ok and possibly fix my problem?
[Atrix 4G General] GlitchZero:
Why wouldn't you just plug it in overnight then? :confused:
[Atrix 4G General] tha5150:
just did this process and i hope it works.. unfortunately, i choose Google to backup my apps and they are not coming back... where is this setting to double check?

To perform an External Manual Reset of your handset to restore to factory settings, read instructions below and then perform.

Power off the phone, press and hold volume down button, press power button.

Screen will come up with "Fastboot", press Vol down key to cycle through choices until you get "Android Recovery", then press Vol up key

Wait for the "triangle ! / Android" screen then go on to step 4

Tap on bottom right corner of the screen (may take a few times). a menu will come up

Tap on "wipe data/factory reset", and tap OK. Another Confirmation screen will come. Tap Yes and OK

After userdata is cleared, the "reboot system now" option will be highlighted by Default. Tap OK.

Phone will reboot to initial setup MOTOBLUR screen.

wow sounds amazing, my phone drains 10% an hour with absolutly no use and no apps installed and nothing syncing
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
There is something seriously wrong with your phone then, that's all I can say. With no apps and no syncing I would assume it is a hardware issue.
[Atrix 4G General] Avid Droidery:
I think you guys are missing the point entirely. A few of you may have rom issues, software issues or even hacker issues. 70% of battery issues are due to a dead or dying battery . If you do the research you will find batteries are made to last 1 year with moderate usage and that is only if you follow the manufacturer's charging instructions to the letter. Come on guys how do you think the capitalist make their money? Lol I guess you thought they were gonna give you an atomic battery that would never die! It's probably banned by the trade federation even though it does exist. Anyway congratulations it's time to go shopping.

[Atrix 4G General] Avid Droidery:
If you like me and you refuse to play the pig game... charge your phone via usb only. My charger put out 1 amp power. Usb puts out half that power. The slower you charge a battery the longer it holds a charge.

It really is interesting to me to see all these modified roms floating around. It's like you think you can trust anybody. I don't trust my own mother. Just last night she had the phone company put a signal locator on my IMEI (international mobile equipment identifier.) History will prove it is true that if you give people power they will abuse it.

found a response to my own questions from this morning about SBF....

[FLASH_SBF] Motorola Atrix 4G U4_1.5.2
[Atrix 4G General] shanghei:
I have had my atrix for less then a year, I am on stock, restored factory, let battery die few times. I talked to some friends who have had the atrix for over a year and there batteries out preform mine.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
Ummmm....the Atrix came out last month. Soooo, how did your "friends" have one for more than a year?
[Atrix 4G General] tha5150:
:rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G General] Avid Droidery:
Never drain a battery completely this is most likely rule number one of battery charging. 4 g is very high speed which requires very high power. So if your phone can 2 g do it. Turn down the display brightness it looks pretty but it drain your battery more than anything. If you aren't downloading apps from the market disable background data.

Never install an application that runs in the background as a service if its primary function is to connect to the internet and it seems to autostart itself without being requested. If you are not using the data connections disable them all. That includes bluetooth.

I hope you have learned something here. I already answered this question yesterday.

[Atrix 4G General] tha5150:
with background data unchecked (off) would i still receive emails via push?
[Atrix 4G General] Avid Droidery:
No. Open gmail hit the menu button and click refresh. Is that too much to ask to save your battery?

- Posted via mobile
[Atrix 4G General] Avid Droidery:
Sorry I really didn't mean to be so sharp. This issue is getting old. If you know that you need an instant notification Switch to 2 or 3 g And enable background data. Beware while background data is enabled More apps will be running in the background.

I think its funny that we're all using Google phones but it sometimes seems like no one knows how to actually Google something...
[Atrix 4G General] Avid Droidery:
If you have been following this topic you understand that it is a lot of work to keep that battery alive. If you have a friend in the development business you might do him a favor to refer him to this thread. I would love to have a real power control tool on this device.

Thanks in advance

I cannot post a link yet but if you go to the opera web site and search their knowledge base for proxy settings you will find very comprehensive instructions.

If I'm now on the 2.2 US Update with 2.2 Boot SBF, can I/how do I get back to completely 2.1 stock? I know I can unroot, but what about SBF/ROM/etc?
[Defy General] ketonkss4:
No I dont think you can downgrade from an official 2.2, besides there is no stock 2.1 US sbf you can flash to at the moment.. This is the closest to stock US you are going to get.
[Defy General] hah2110:
Wait - I have a Nandroid of my 2.1 stock. Would that do it or that would put me back in the same place as being stuck in a bootloop since now I have a 2.2 SBF?
[Defy General] Peglezn:
u can restore it and after that 2.1 sbf boot only file

and learn to use search function ..or use faq ...more or less all your questions have already been answered ....no need to open a new thread for each trouble u ran into

and for your camera problem ull find an answer for that in jboogies bluerless ginger thread i had the same problem
[Droid X Accessories] DroidTh3ory:
Well, Since my time around XDA I have always stated I DO NOT like cases. Even though I know I should use them for protection, I hate what they do to the phone. I like my phone NAKED, to me it is like making a sexy girl wear a armor suit.... While she is very protected, she is not half a fun to handle and not nearly as nice to look at. So.... I can across a possible solution to protect my phone from scratches and for it you have a 'custom" look. I thought I would post up for anybody who has been kicking around the idea of trying them out.

Ordering and Shipping::: I went to http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/Motorola_Droid_X on Saturday and chose the H.R Giger (Always been a fan) after browsing through the tons of selections. Placed my order, and received a confirmation immediately stating that they will "produce" my skin and it will be shipped within 2-4 "business" days. I also received a link to download the wallpaper that goes with the skin.

Monday morning I received a UPS tracking confirmation confirming my order has shipped and 2 days later it was at my door. So, as for the production, and promptness I would have to give them a 10 easy.

Packaging/Quality::: Package was a simple plastic sleeve with the vinyl sheet containing the skins. One thing i did notice is that there were NO instructions or "tips" for installation. While I guess installation is self explanatory, some tips would have been nice ie: do stretch the skin. LOL

The quality of the skins are very nice, they seem to have a nice thickness to them, the color looks great, and while the adhesive holds tight... It is very forgiving while installing. Don't be afraid to get it right. :)

Installation::: This will be short.... I was hesitate at first but I can say, "it was not bad at all". I wiped my phone down with Pledge MultiSurface wipes (What I always use to clean it with" and taking my time I stuck them on. DONE. It was quite painless.

Overall::: Well, it is only my second day running them but so far I am pleased. I am not worried about putting down my phone, sliding around, or because of the tackyness not slipping out of my hand while banging out some emails and texts.

Hey, for the price of $14.95 and the look of the phone being able to change... IMO, you can't beat it!!.

[Droid X Accessories] SeanRinVA:
Great review. Thanks!
[Droid X Accessories] 12yan:
how are the edges?? are they curling up at all?? im really considering getting this, just for the sheer awesomeness..
[Droid X Accessories] siphyn:
I have one of the gelaskins on my Droid X. The edges are fine and they never curl up. The skins are top notch and high quality. The only problem I have had was with the Droid X moto car dock. With the skin its a tighter fit and there was one corner, on the top left of the phone, that would sometimes catch and curl the skin back slightly when inserting the phone into the dock, but other than that the skin is very durable and wont curl up on you in the long run.
[Droid X Accessories] DroidTh3ory:
I haven't had any peeling yet. As you can see in the pics I have the Moto Extended Battery, and with my media dock and my car dock everything is holding on like it should.

[Droid X Accessories] 12yan:
appreciate the feedback! will order one today as well! im tired of my big case

buy myTouch 4G now or wait for Desire S until April?
[myTouch 4G General] epsix:
What's the spec on Desire S? MT4G has 768 ram, 2gig internal memory and 8gig of sdcard
[myTouch 4G General] RavenWulf:
everything I have found the Desire S shows it as having same specs as ours (some sites say 512 others say 768 for RAM) but 3.7 inch screen instead of 3.8, tactile buttons like Vibrant, 1.1 GB internal compared to our 4GB... only upside I see to the Desire S is that it will have Gingerbread and Sense 2.1 from the get go... however we will have that thanks to our Developer Community before then.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniele82:
That's the way i did. But in my phone, after sync to the added calendar of my google account, there isn't the "birthday of contacts". Only the ****@googlemail.com and the other added calendars are shown. No birthday of contacts.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierre Duc:
on ur pc:

go to google calendar

Calender settings

make sure 'show in list' is checked

and make sure it's in that list at all :p

if it both is, then im baffled and can't really help.

OR, go to accounts in your phone, and make sure that the calendar does sync (both with your contacts and gmail)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniele82:
1. The calendar settings

2. the calendar is activate in view mode

3. after sync on my phone, no birthday calendar

Thats mysterious.

Some information 'bout my phone:

- German T-Mobile

- rooted

- Model X10i

- Firmware 2.1 update1

- Baseband-Version 2.1.54

- Kernel-Version 2.6.29 SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1

- Build 2.1.A.0.435
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierre Duc:
did you try this?

Contacts --> Accounts --> googlemail account --> check if 'Sync Calendar' is on

(that one bumped me out once..dunno how it got disabled at that time)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniele82:
Automatic synchronizing of googlemail account is enabled. I added the "birthday of contacts" two weeks ago. Nothing happened on my phone since then. :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierre Duc:
perhaps manually importing it to your google calendar works. To do so,

on ur pc:

go to calendar (doh)

settings

click on the 'contact birthday calendar'

find the green 'ical' button, this will download a .ics file

go back to the google calendar screen

click 'add calendar' (bottom left)

and click the bottom one 'import calendar'

on ur phone:

sync the calendar: Contacts --> Accounts --> googlemail account --> menu button 'sync now'

(perhaps the names are a bit different, cuz i use the dutch version :))
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniele82:
Doesn' work. The calendar exports an empty iCal File.

While importing, a note pops up "Import calendar: Processed zero events."

Seems, google doesn't like me ;-)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pierre Duc:
that seems rather weird.. perhaps you do not have any friend's birthdays listed..but i guess you have..

sorry, I can't help you further :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniele82:
Anyway, thank you for help. I think I'll look around at the market for a birthday calendar app.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daniele82:
Hmm, found eboBirthday at the market. A really great birthday calendar app. Synchronizes my googlemail contact's birthday with the SE calendar and put in the dates. Great. All what i want.
[Galaxy Tab General] Damone775:
My Verizon tab was having issues, so I used heimdall to reflash it to stock like ive done in the past. It takes it now about 5mins on the samsung screen before it goes to the verizon logo. Then it proceeds to stay in a boot loop. Getting into recovery also takes about 5mins now. Managed to get there once and I saw there was some errors in some of the logs. I think i killed my tab any suggestions?

In Recovery it says

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

E:Can't mount Cache: recovery/command

#Manual Mode#

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

(Invalid Argument)

E:Can't mount CACHE: log/recovery.log

E:Can't Open CACHE: log/recovery.log

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

(Invalid Argument)

When I try to factory reset it says

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

(invalid argument)

E:install_application_for_customer:Can't mount DATA:

your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions
[Galaxy Tab General] beestee:
Try using heimdall to put the standard KhasMek kernel and recovery on it.
[Galaxy Tab General] Damone775:
No change its just sitting on the samsung logo now :(
[Galaxy Tab General] beestee:
Part of the installation of KhasMek kernel involves about 3 minutes of sitting at the Samsung logo, but there should be a voice playing over the speaker letting you know what it is doing.

EDIT: Try getting back into recovery if it is still just sitting at the samsung logo, and see if it put CwM recovery on it, then you might be able to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. If not, then you will probably need to go into a little more detail how you "reflashed to stock" in order to get the answers you need.
[Galaxy Tab General] Damone775:
Installed the KhasMek kernel had it install cwm. Was able to boot into recovery Wiped data cache, factory reset, Then restored a nandroid backup. Since then its been stuck on the samsung screen. Went back to stock originally using the pieced together verizon stock firmware. This entire problem started when I found that my tab wasnt booting after a battery drain. I turned if off one night it was acting perfectly fine and since it hasnt booted past verizon screen. Figured it might help to flash it to stock after that point.
[Galaxy Tab General] beestee:
Since it has not worked since you tried flashing to stock, I would assume that the issue was in that step but was not the kernel or recovery, and since you have done it successfully before, you might just need to try flashing to stock again. I had a link to a guide but I can't find it now, but a quick google search returned these:

/how-to-restore-verizon-galaxy-tab-back-to-stock/

and

how-restore-vzw-galaxy-tab-stock-dj11

It appears that as long as you can get to DL mode you should be able to bring it back.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] xandercom:
Hey guys

In winmo 6.5 I could plug a 3.5mm jack into my car stereo to listen to music, and my bluetooth car kit would take the audio from calls and relay it to my handsfree speaker and mic.

With winphone 7 I have lost that option.. having a 3.5mm jack plugs in overrides the bluetooth and so all audio is routed to the 3.5mm jack.

I dont want to be unplugging the jack every time a call comes in, or I need to make a call.

Any suggestions?
