When I was still running a rooted 2.2.2, my phone idle and cell standby usage would both read about 40% each when i left my phone on overnight. This resulted in only 10% total drain once I woke up in the morning. Now with the prerooted and debloated 2.3.3, my phone idle is reading 75% usage while the cell standby reads 15%. Now when I wake up, my phone battery drops nearly 40%. Does anyone have a similar issue or know why this happens?
I followed the debloat guide for the prerooted GB. Maybe the system is trying to reach one of the frozen apps to no avail?

I already received the OTA -- I was one of the soak testers. And unfortunately, this doesn't have anything to do with root or anything you have frozen. I am experiencing the same problems. Battery life is horrible now. I am almost considering contacting Verizon and moto on concerns of the update breaking my phones functionality.
I have raised awareness of the battery problems on the soak forum. Hopefully we will get a response.
Also, I'm using the extended battery and have a hard time getting through an 8 hour work day with light usage.

Try a battery calibrating app. Its possible that the update deleted the battery cached and now it needs to be re-calibrated. I've been getting great battery life, so its not something I've looked into thoroughly.
My phones been unplugged for 12hrs and is at 70 percent and I have data sync running 24/7.
And I also have 250 user apps installed and not even deblurred

It's funny, I usually don't have these odd problems, but I'm getting the same exact thing. Awful battery drain. It could be that I have removed a certain service/app while I was debloating. Gonna try to SBF or a different ROM.
My phone works fine and has the same battery drain when it is on. The thing that has changed is that my phone idle has been eating up a 5 times more battery than before.

Tried this yesterday, but it did not appear to help any...
My battery life has been great since GB. A lot of these "issues" people are having with the GB update are isolated issues. Could be due to not doing a data/factory update or 3rd party apps. If anything I noticed phone idle using more of a percentage because everything else is actually using much less battery life now.
Wish everyone would stop including pre-rooted update when they have issues with this GB build. All P3Droid did was pre-root it for us, he did not mod it. It is otherwise a stock update (soak test actually).
I am not calling anyone out specifically, it just seems to be a trend. I know you guys aren't trying to blame him or any other true developer who is trying to let us get the most out of our DX2s. Just an observation.
Pre-rooting the update is by definition a "mod"
Anyway im also curious if some of the bloat removal is causing this. I was not de bloated on 2.2 but I did on2.3 and I am draining much faster. I used to get 17+ hours easy, now I barely get 9.

One thing we found on the fascinate that had an effect on battery performance was the battery state prior to flashing any rom. Better performance & reporting was noticed if the flash was made on a full charge. Seemed to smooth out the calibration issues found the first few days after changing/updating roms. We also did some bump charging occasionally to top off the charge.

moto trolls?
My battery life is no different than with froyo. I websurf ALOT at work. And whats this about de-bloated? after I got gingerbread up and running it was just as bloated as expected. The rooted unmodded rom I downloaded didnt seem to have any bloat removed. I did that all myself after the fact and still my battery lasts just as long as before.......
Yeah I've noticed that too. Helps me when I power button + sleep my phone so it sleeps rather than idling.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
If you're experiencing battery drain, you probably just have some bad data from froyo lingering. I bet a complete sbf, factory reset, root and bootstrap, flash rooted gingerbread and then don't use titanium backup or use it but only restore USER APPS, NOT APPS+ DATA. Will fix it.
It's A universal thing for any android phone, if you don't make sure you have a clean instal things like battery drain will happen.
Incidently I'm getting slightly better battery life.

I did a full SBF to 2.2.2 and then rooted and then installed GB. I start the whole process again later tonight to see if I can get better results
Hi,
I have been reading a lot of posts by people but did not find an answer yet to problem I am having with Atrix.
I've had like 5 Atrix phones and never had this issue before so I am thinking it might be the phone but need input/opinion on what you guys think.
I have tried CM7, Ronaldo R9, Stock GB, Aura, Alien 4.
I bought this phone used and it was not even rooted.
I unlocked it, rooted it and started messing with it. It was working fine but then I had to mess with it.
No matter what rom I run, it goes from 100% to 40% in around 4 hours without any use.
I have 2 hotmail, 1 exchange, 2 gmail accounts and 1 facebook.
Any suggestions?
I am on stock kernel right now. I used faux kernel and it got even worse.
Any idea on what I might be doing wrong? I am about to sbf 2.2 Froyo to see if that fixes the issue.
Thanks in advance for help guys.
DONT SBF TO FROYO 2.2 YOU WILL HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE! Other then that what's your setCPU at?

I never used SetCPU, I don't even have custom Kernel. I am using stock Kernel.
Baseband Version:
N_01.77.30P
Kernel:
[email protected] # 2
I usually freeze using TiBu, but this time I uninstalled everything from Live wallpaper picker to DLNA to Quick office, I barely have anything on the phone and it's still so hot. Draining battery like crazy. Did every calibration mentioned on here using CWM or Battery calibrator.
I was going to sbf the file with pudding and preinstall root built in. Thanks for the heads up though. I know that I can't go back to stock stock so was going to flash pudding 2.2.
You will only HARD BRICK your phone IF you have done the Official OTA (Over The Air) to GingerBread. If you have never done the official OTA and you were on 1.8.3 when you unlocked and you flashed GB (Kenneth Penn or other custom GB ROM's) then you can SBF backwards but it is not recommended.. I just want to clear that up for you.
Now, there is a battery issue with faux kernel (stock or OC) so make sure you are using the 0.2.0 version of his kernels.
If you want to do a sure test and find out if its the phone or the physical battery that is bad then flash Kenth Penn's Alien ROM with the gingerbread kernel and use the free setCPU here (free for XDA members). Yes you can still use setCPU even if you are on stock kernel because you can UnderClock the CPU when you turn the screen off or set it to were if you are under a certain battery percentage it will automatically uncerclock itself.
Thank you for the heads up but I know you can't do Froyo or GB without pudding if you have unlocked the phone, which I have unlocked.
So, are you saying that one of the ROMs overclocked the CPU and now it's stuck or something? I never messed with any SetCPU. All I did was change roms.
Do I need to do something special after I install EXT4 ROM with EXT4 formatting?
Do I need to format the partitions using something else to go back to stock partitioning? I just want my phone to go back to normal where it would last a whole day of playing without charge

Actually you can SBF without pudding as long as you never flashed the OTA GB. Not only have they stated that in the threads but I have done it. The OTA will give you a Hard Brick.
No, I'm not saying that the ROM's overclocked the CPU... I was saying it's good to UnderClock it when your not using it.. (saves battery life)
Also you HAVE to wipe the battery stats after each ROM flash or you will have a incorrect battery percentage display
I see what you are saying.
I know you have to recalibrate battery after change of rom, what about if you sbf?
To test it out, I installed the 2.2 using sbf and charged it to 100%.
I have been on battery for barely 3 hours and I am at 60% life.
Without using anything, battery is at 95F and phone feels pretty hot.
I have had 4 Atrix before and never had any issues like this. Seems like something is always running in bg. I use my motoblur account so I have same number of emails and stuff on every rom and phone?

Did you just get the phone? If it has been overheating like this since you got it, it's very likely there's a problem with the unit itself. You may need to get it replaced.
I have the same problem here, I monitor my phone temp. using setCPU and to monitor the processor speeds on CM7 and my normal temp is about 37C or 99F and thats when the phone is pretty cool, however i have seen it get up to around 40-42C, not really sure what to do as i havent found a solution and it gets so hot now i can feel it through my case too.
I kept playing with this last night and no matter what ROM I use with Motoblur account and 3 push email accounts, it kept getting hot.
I am wondering if it's Motoblur getting suck on something since Phone Idle, main and phone is using most of the battery when you look at %age.
Or it's my 3 push email accounts, 2 gmail and 1 facebook that are syncing like crazy and killing the phone. I did a format of system, cache, data and all from recovery and installed cm7 for now to avoid blur. I am thinking of putting in all my push accounts in CM7 and see if it gets hot too. If it doesn't then it's motoblur or if it does get hot, it might be too many accounts syncing tons and tons of time?
So, I went back to Ronaldo's R9 Rom and been keeping an eye on battery.
I skipped blur setup and just put my gmail account on there that is associated with my contacts and all.
1h 21m 2s on battery, 92% battery life left.
Display 45%
Phone Idle 32%
Cell standby 8%
com.android.inputmethod.latin 4%
Messaging 3%
Voice Calls 2%
Android OS 2%
com.android.phone 2%
Wifi 2% (turned this off like an hour ago)
Does that seem pretty normal to burn 8% battery in an hour?
If that is good then I will start adding my other emails. I think I have narrowed down the issue to blur having push emails or maybe just blur. Will keep this thread updated.
Thank you.
Honestly, my phone also gets QUITE hot. I guess it's just fail ventilation.
mine gets up to 52`C
Is your phone revving to 9k?
Thanks for the laugh dude. I actually ended up getting rid of Atrix.
I actually have another Atrix with lapdock that I am selling. I think it's time to move on from Atrix
^^I think you've had more Atrix's then the Moto developers themselves. Your an Atrix lover!

Try disabling the exchange account for a day and see if if it helps. Some users has earlier reported that exchange was creating problems. If it's not then use watchdog to idnetify the mischievous app which is eating a lot of CPU hence the heat.
CM7 has got rid of all heating issues so there must be something else than the OS itself.

Your Display has consumed 45% so the behavior is more or less normal. The larger the screen on time larger is the drain.

Hmmm unlikely but still u wont loose anything by trying. That overheating thing seems like a high overclock thingy cause it has happened to me before with a different phone
I'm not sure what's causing all the drains on Atrix.
I've also got an HTC desire running CM7. Both my atrix and the desire has the same apps running side-by-side. All setting's pretty much identical. FB running on the background, Mobile Data on etc. Just regular smartphone setting.
My GF's desire, dropped from 100% to only 95% in 10hours+, with PHONE IDLE sitting at 40%.
However, my Atrix drains 3% per hour when not in use. Battery shows Phone IDLE at 70%+. I did the guide outlined at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198333 and it's no help.
Can someone explain to me the the unreasonable drain that's going on on my Atrix?
Old/not good radio most probably. Install "AT&T .91" radio from the fruitcakes post, also known as N_01.77.30P
5% in 10 hours is amazing, WOW. But yeah that does seem about right 3% an hour give or take. I think mines was like 3% every two hours or so when I had CM7.
I am the author of the guide you linked in the OP, and my idle time drainage is around what you mentioned for GF's Desire - 5% per 10 hours.
I have had amazing battery life both with my own modded Motoblur 2.3.4 and on CM7 right now.
If your battery drains - there's an app / software related issue on your end.
Flash a clean CM7 with full wipe. Recalibrate right after. Do a memory fix via SuperCharger v8 script.
There's no reason why you shouldn't have the same battery life as me after following these steps.

I've tried your guide, even disabling data/wifi the drains still unacceptable.
I'm using UK T-mobile Atrix with CM7 (tried both faux and stock kernel), radio is .92
It's frustrating because my GF's Desire lasted 48+hours with light-use after I switched her from MIUI to CM7. That's with contact sync, email sync and FB running in the background.
xploited:
I've managed to vastly improved the issue by flashing a working radio. I'm using the n_01.100.00r FR radio for my UK T-Mobile. You might want to compile a list of radios in your guide because it helped me significantly. Thank you.

Glad you were able to resolve your problem. I actually do have "flashing Radio" listed as one of the solutions in post#2... though without a list.
So i have a verizon fascinate and am currently running cm7. (first tried the stable release but niw a nightly). Im eeally liking cm, but since i got it my battery life is garbage. Basically the drain seems to come from either the android os sercice or cell standby. Whenever i leave my phone inactive for a while, when i wake it up the battery has dropped a lot and tge phone is very warm. I have been modding this phone for a while, but im no android programmer. Purely based on the forum searchi. G ive done on the issue, it seemsblike cm7 has an issue with my modem or radio.
Extra info: my 3g/2g signals seem fine (always 0% time without signal). Wifi connectivity seems fine. Im also running glitch's kernal altho the problem has persisted with and without it (i did do a kernel cleaning first). I used the "go from anything to jb vanilla" guide cuz i was having issues switching to mtd at first (sry dont have a link rite now but it was on xda) . I get occassional force closes, but not really a problem. When i did a titanium back up, the very first time i flashed cm7 i Did restore system settings, but i did not do that every time since then. Ive done a fresh flash of the stable mod around 3 times trying different stuff, but this one is niggtly as i said, and each has had this issue.
If looked around a lot, and wgile this seems common, no one has posted a consistent solution or explanation to the problem, so thats what im looking for.

I have had the standby battery drain on every CM7 version and Kernel tried so far including 7.1 stable,7.0 nightlies,JT's Vanilla,and PoolParty. It's even worse if I shut phone down and don't plug in. It will drop 50 to 75% overnight with phone not on?
Has done it with undervolting,overclocking,and voltage control not even installed. This is first time I have seen others having similiar issues.
I think this is a known issue for all MTD roms on the fascinate, if I'm not mistaken.

I lose only 5% to 10% overnight on CM7 never really notice how much on MIUI cause I never ran it long enough. I guess every phone would behave differently for MTD's or maybe you have an app or mulitple ones that refreshes frequently(Fancy Widget comes to mind).
Well that really sucks, because i do enjoy cm7. But this also means if i go back to a touchwiz configuration like stock dl09 i shouldnt have these issues right?
But before that, has anyone who had these issues tried anything (ie kernels or maybe standby mode power conservation setting, etc... ) that have at least noticeably improved your battery life? Right now mines pretty unbearable (im talking 8hrs while on but totally inactive), but if i can get it up a little i might b able to manage.

I am also experiencing poor battery life. I just flashed 7.1.0 yesterday and absolutely love it. Was using com rom for a few months, but a friend said to try out cwm 7. I used to get about 6 - 8 hours of Pandora while at work and today I only got about 4 before my phone shut off. I'm going to try completely killing battery and charge with phone off tonight an see if it's any better tomorrow.
Any other suggestions? I'm not a noob when it comes to custom roms and flashing (I used to flash the **** out of my G1) but there may have been something I over looked when switching to cwm7. I wiped everything a few times before flashing including battery stats and dalvic.
My battery life is actually really good. Running latest nighty, undervolted -75 across the board,stock kernel, and no overclocking.
Just can't figure why I lose 50-75% of battery overnight when phone is shut down and not charging?
I have the same issue with CM7.1, turning phone of at 80% battery at night to find it at 25% at morning
Is there knows solution?
Hello been having some annoying problems with the phone since i rooted it a while back. I used HTC unlock method and followed the tutorial for hboot 1.5 immediately I got horrible battery life. I had twrp if that matters, aside from the horrible battery life. I'd get a lot of random reboots. I replaced battery battery still sucked. I did the hboot downgrade battery still sucks now, and random reboots started bad now. I've used miui rom a couple of senses ice cream they all ear my battery I'm full charge at 630am and by ten I'm getting the low battery notification, I have tried almost every from and non have worked. Is it time to bash this phone against a wall? Its the only android phone I've had that has done this. I'm a Android user since the g1 btw. Which had horrible battery life but in comparison it beats this phone. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Do you know what clock speed you are running at?
This may seem like a silly question but what kind of case is your phone in, have you left your phone in a location that may have heat damaged your battery. Have you tried another battery and experienced the same rapid discharge?
Its a freaking meeting of the half minds in here OP excluded! Recovery is not the Culprit of the battery drain!
The culprit of the battery drain has to do with the Kernel for instance Anthrax Kernel is awesome but will drain your battery quicker then ****!
@OP I suggest you try meanrom it has a very good battery life and Mikeyxda is constantly trying to make it better and you have your choice between four different Kernels to choose from You have the new one (I dont remember the name) Ziggy's, Anthrax's and stock. I prefer Ziggy's and I get good battery life with it.
From what I have seen most if not all ICS roms are using Anthrax! As I stated before Anthrax Kernel in sleep mode drains your battery at 2% an hour so you can imagine how much it uses when its awake.
Dont get me wrong anthrax is blazing fast!
I assumed recovery had nothing to do it. Will try meanrom and report back.

How much screen on time? Do you have good signal? Are you leaving 4g on all the time? With constant use, it is normal to only get a few hours, especially with low signal or 4g.
Could be a rogue app. I like better battery monitor (available on xda) and bad ass battery monitor (in market) to see what is draining my battery.

I also use Juice Defender Ultimate to auto-disable data/gps/etc on screen-off but from what you're saying it sounds like your batt life is freakishly bad. I don't think it's even a wakelock issue, you must have a runaway application eating 100% cpu all the time or something severely broken in your OS.
I'm guessing you didn't do a full wipe of the phone before flashing MeanRom?
Also, after flashing a new kernel/rom your battery stats may be messed up and you may need to recalibrate before it's accurate again:
I use the app "BatteryCalibration" by NeMa (free in Market).
Just follow the instructions in the app.
So... You need to flash it again but this time:
1.) Do a full wipe by flashing one of those Wipe utils first. There's a link to one on the MeanRom page as MikeyXDA mentions it. DO NOT Reboot after doing the wipe but proceed immediately to install the MeanROM zip. This will wipe out any data that doesn't sync to google. Your SD card will not be erased but everythign else will.
2.) Do be extremely selective about re-installing your applications. The Android system may have gotten FUBAR'd from flashing of different ROMs on top of each other and that may be the cause and would be fixed by #1 above but it's just as likely you've installed some very bad application(s). When you open Google Market for the first time after a clean wipe and flash it will start re-downloading everything you had installed before. STOP it from doing that. Even if you have to pull the batt out or whatever. Next time you open it, it won't automatically start installing everything but will let you choose them one at a time. Install only the bare minimum apps at first and check an App Killer and CPU monitor like SystemPanel Lite to look for high CPU usage and kill any stuck apps. Each day maybe you can add a few more apps and this way you'll know when your batt life goes to hell again which app it was that sent it there.
Anytime you switch from one ROM to another you should do a full wipe. The only exception is when maybe flashing a newer version of the same ROM on top of an older one. (i.e. Flashing MeanRom 4.3 on top of 4.1 or something.) I've noticed that after kernel upgrades even though my battery often needs to be recalibrated.
I unplugged my phone 3+ hrs ago, lightly checked it a couple of times this morning and glanced at it a few times while writing this and I'm still at 96%. I'm running MeanRom 4.1 at the moment but will upgrade to 4.3 tonight maybe.
