Hi, I am using juice plotter and what is see is 100%, then 90, 80, 70, etc... when I was using the nexus s, it shows the actual percentages so I can gauge how steep or fast my actions are pushing the battery. Is this normal for the Atrix?
When I use the lsi android widget, it shows the same with the 100, 90 and etc...
Thanks

As far as I know, the Atrix will only show in increments of 10% until 15%, at which it will show in increments of 5%, I believe. Definitely a strange decision on Moto's part.
My guess is that with root you can do something to fix it.

So since 2.3.4 has the battery level issue I've been using Battery Calibration to keep track of my battery level. It reads the mV level consistently after a reboot. I know around 4200 is full. Has anyone checked to see what near empty is?

I can't say for certain but, I do believe my phone auto-shutoff after it went south of 3700mV. So 3700mV is damn close to dead. Don't know what the exact level is though.
Thanks. That's all I needed. I'm going to try to run this thing dead today and see where its at.

3700 is nowhere near empty, the highest shutoff ive seen was st 3475 and ive seen as low as 3250, i use batstat wiget so my mV is always on my home screen
from my finally liberated X2 roaming the north
My battery is at 3629mV now. And the phone hasn't shutoff yet. But what was odd was just as I typing this post, the battery was at 3495mV. Then it jumped up to 3619mV then up to 3629.
EDIT - I guess when I have the LED on, it puts a bit of a load on the battery so now it's reading 3490mV.
Maximum charge on a single cell lithium battery is 4205 mV. The theoretical "dead" is 3189 mV. Therefore 3700 mV should be at 50%.

The last time my phone shut off I had seen my widget reading around 3350 but I wasn't looking at widget when shut off. I was texting and browsing. I am incline to believe it was around 3200 give or take.
Also, assuming voltage decreases linearly with current drain is incorrect.

I'm not sure what you mean by that? Care to elaborate? For my own curiosity
Voltage & current drain don't necessarily parallel each other. They might not be occurring at the same rate at the same time.

Hi there,
I know the maximum voltage is 4205mV but what is the minimum? When my battery level was at 6, the voltage was ~3,600mv which concerns me because I have a gut instinct that my phone actually has more juice but is miscalibrated towards higher voltages.
I saw the Ultimate Battery Guide and it mentions that before calibration, OP charged to 100% and had ~3,400mV. This means that despite his terrible battery life, he was still able to run his phone at a voltage lower than my lowest - and his was at 100%!
So what voltages are you lot getting when battery life is almost dead?
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks!
Wow, it's been 5 months and I forgot about this thread.
So...
BUMP!!!!
Glad u bumped this up I am at 32 percent and have 3792mv still I keep running g it down see what I get
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Ok at 4 percent I am at 3490
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I've seen voltage readings logged in Battery Monitor Widget as low as 3200 - 3300 mV before the phone shutdown automatically. The low 3400's are probably more common with a percent or two remaining.
My battery life on my phone isn't the best (maybe its my phone maybe I'm not doing something right). I like my razr right now...if I had better battery I would love and If I had a battery case it'd be the best android I've ever had. So has anyone heard of a battery Cass for the razr???

With 4g enabled, medium use (some surfing, a few youtube videos) and just a few short phone calls I get 13 hours at the 20% mark.
I don't even know the length of battery life on mine as I'm always moving it from car to car to home and back and when it's in the car it's always on the charger in the car mount. So the charge is always up and down. Whenever I need to take it somewhere without a charge for any length of time though I'll use taskmanager and shut everything down that isn't needed so I can stretch it as far as possible.

Get yourself an Anker Slim Talk battery pack ($27 from Amazon). Attach it to the back of the phone when needed using industrial strength adhesive Velcro. It fits there perfectly and the two together are about the thickness of a Rezound. Plugs straight into the micro usb slot with a built in short stretch cord and you're charging without missing a beat. Strip it off when your charge is solid. Believe me, this is a perfect solution to battery anxiety.

We don't have 4G in the UK so that might well be the basis of this. I've always had a taste for the esoteric and phones like the Moto Razr and Galaxy S2 Skyrocket aren't popular over here (latter isn't even available). For a phone (smart or otherwise), battery life of less than 24hrs simply isn't acceptable!

People using smartphones being on-line all the time got used to 12 hour battery life a long time ago.
Yes, I am talking about people in the UK.
I Mine runs 12 - 15 hours and I'm at 20-30 percent. I've set up some smart actions to conserve battery life with success. One funny thing I noticed though was that when you setup a battery triggered smart action you have the choice of 25%, 35% etc. but the indicator only show 20%, 30% etc.
Anyway compared to my old HTC Desire HD the batterylife of the RAZR is superior!

That's because the phone will display 30%, when it's really a little less than 35%.

I dont know if i just have a bad battery in my phone but ive had it about a week now. No matter how much i use it even if i dont use it at all i can pull it off the charger at 7am and by 1030 or eleven its dead. Ive tried multiple roms to see if it helped but nothing. So my question is do droid x batteries work for this phone too? Ive been searching amazon for extended batteries and it seems like most are for droid x but some say that they are for both. Also does anyone else experince this? With the way the battery is on 2.3.4 i go from full to 15 percent out of nowhere. Im hoping an extened battery will at least allow me to get a full day of work out of it. If someone could link me to a good battery theat they have used that would be great too. Thanks.
Are you heavily calling, texting, gaming, etc during the time your phone's battery is rapidly gaming? Do you have your brightness turned all the way up? Do you allow account synching in the background? All of these are the main causes of battery drain, though they shouldn't drain it quite that quickly. You could very well have a bad battery. Try downloading app/widget battery left, charge up to 100%, and check the voltage on the battery. If less than 4.2 volts, it could mean a battery issue. However even if at 4.2, I can't gaurentee battery health.
Yes, Droid X batteries do in fact work for our phones. I'm actually using the Trident Electra case and battery meant for the X. I highly recommend it, I love the battery life (3 or so days without charging) and the protection the case offers.
Hope I could help!
Yea I hardly use ny phone for calls. And text. Mainly emails and just browsing the forums from time to time. But I manually sync my accounts. Just for this reason. But I have nevr seen anything like this. I have battery minored widget pro voltage is fine the graphs are hilarious to look at since the phone will go from 100 to 93 then drop knew by one to 80 then it drops to 47 and with a half hour of that its at fifteen and as soon as the low battery indicator comes on I hit ok and a minute later its dead.
Well hopefully problem solved ordered a two battery combo with wall charger. 3500mah

Dead like your phone shuts off? Or the phone % tells you its dead? My extended battery has never read correctly, right now its shows 1% at 3.997v thats most of a charge yet

I'm having some problems to. Today was the first day I really kept track of how fast my battery drained itself and my God, I feel like my phone should win an award for most juice lost in 4 hours.
I downloaded Easy Battery Saver from the market and started to use a battery widget to monitor my battey life and it honestly seems like the app is working. Give it a try and see how you like it.

I was under the impression that both the X and the X2 used the same battery (BH5X).
If I am wrong, someone please correct me...
They use the same battery. Have you tried calibrating? Charge to 100% then go to spare parts> battery info> then battery voltage. What is it?
Tapin' the Talk on the xSquared
What frequency do you have your email to check. If you have your email on push then the battery will die a lot faster also. I can kill my battery in 4 hours with non stop use. Orbit baby's it 15 he's has been my best. And yea the x and x2 use same battery my spare is from my Droid x and they are the same part number.
Thanks a lot for all the help guys I got the extended battery which helped a little. But I sold the phone already. Couldn't handle being so restricted.

I got the extended battery and get half the life out of it. Can anyone tell me why this would happen? I have eclipse 1.3, speedy v7, cdma unthrottle mods, and froze battery manager.

Recently I have noticed my battery overheating and dying really fast. After 10 minutes of web surfing it dies without warning. I also noticed a weird watery smudge on my screen whenever I pressed anywhere on it. I took out the battery and noticed that it was "fatter" and wasn't properly fitting inside the player. My question now is can I used the battery from my 3.6 player and use it for my 4.2 player? Is it safe? Will it damage my player?

Generally battery issue solution:
1. Calibrate battery
- Download "Battery Calibration" from NéMa from the Play Store
- Charge to 100 % and wait 20 minutes after it says "Full charge"
- Open Calibration app and touch "Calibrate"
- Unplug and discharge to 1 %
- Charge to 100 %
- Unplug
2. Battery training
- Every week: Discharge to 1 % and charge to 100 %
- Every month: Calibrate battery
3. Set the right settings
Open settings and disable (or set to lowest level) all features you don't need
I won't use the 3.6's battery
Good luck, Androthan

Thanks. I will give it a try. But I think the battery is ruined. Its not flat and smooth on both sides. It bulges and deformed. Since the 3.6 battery has the same specs and voltage as the 4.2 I might just use that instead.
