(Q) How do I stop Phone Idle from murdering my battery? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry to ask a probably popular question but search on the XDA app is very meh.

Phone idle will always be the top battery killer for the average user. That's just because the phone is isle more than awake most of the time.
You can get an app like setcpu and have a custom profile to underclock your cpu while you're not using your phone though

What do you call murdering?
Is your battery dead in 2 hours, or do you see idle as the top user after 12 hours with 70% left?

Why don't you charge the phone while on. When 100%I turn it off. (Don't unplug power in this whole process ) then pull battery. In a couple seconds you will see a battery with a ? In it. Then place the battery back in. It should say 5%. Let it sit for 3-4 hours. Boot to recovery and while battery status. If no recovery, boot to os and wipe battery status. Then phone idle ( the phone only shows "phone idle" to give you will a total of 100% since before your battery once had about 60% of normal battery life. Now that you have alot Battery, phone idle is a much smaller % than you had before.

Not murdering but in a 2hr space 50+% of my battery is eaten up due to Phone Idle.
I'll try that fully charge trick tomorrow. Thanks.

Before I did that I had ..... 4 hour talk time max. Now im 6+hrs. You'll see. Thank me later

Put your battery in the witness protection program. But seriously if in 2 hours ~50% is gone, I don't think its phone idle. Also something to consider is terrible reception eats battery. And 4g even though its not true 4g those higher speeds come at a cost. I think you can guess what the cost is.
I voided my warranty.

Even if I heavy grind on the phone until its dead.. it will not have a whole lot of battery left, nor will idle consume so much of his battery. So he needs to try the basics of battery maintenance first.

Sorry guys I described that horribly.
I mean of OVERALL drain 50% is Phone Idle. Not 50% battery life.

well now that you describe it like that, use the search and read up on the many threads about phone idle. peeps can't seem to wrap their head around it. and read up on display time too.

Phone Idle should be the remainder of everything else draining your battery, basically the minimum power draw. If you add everything up you should end up with about 100%. I say "about" because android rounds the numbers up/down to whole numbers.
If your phone idle is at 50% you're doing bugger-all with your phone. So long as your actual battery life is normal then there's nothing wrong. If your battery life sucks, then possibly your battery is dead/dying or something like the minimum CPU frequency is set higher than normal causing a constantly higher power drain.

Well as long as he followed the steps. Phone idle will not take such a high % of battery usage on the battery manager. If he talked on the phone for an hour and did pandora for an hour. You would see idle would take a small % vs the talk time and pandora streaming combined/separate.

Don't understand

Ever since I rooted my fiances and my phone his battery life is so much better then mine.
Mine right now is at 92% and has 17hrs 30mins
His is at 88% and has 24hrs 48mins.
Is there any way that I can improve mine without having to buy a new battery?
We are both using kaos v39.
Thank you for any help.

The battery % also isn't necessary accurate.
The phone uses a calculation of voltage (as closely as it can), temperature, and activity, to determine the %. Largely, the figure is just based on voltage.
Sometimes, when your phone is charging, it can say 83%, but be at a solid 4200mV (4.2 volts). It's probably not going to charge any further. If you power the phone off, the light will probably turn green (showing you that it's charged). Then if you boot it back up, the battery % might read 100%.
Is it 83%? Is it 100%? Clearly, in the 2 minutes it took you to turn your phone off and on, it didn't gain 17% battery.
The difference between 88% and 92% could be temperature, voltage of the particular battery at the moment, who just used their phone more in the past 2 minutes before checking, and (due to all the variables) practically 'dumb luck'.
What you really will see is if you let them go for a very very long time (until they get to 0% and auto-shut off), you'll find that whoever had their screen on more often (maybe whoever does more texting), or whoever has more 3g internet doing things in the background (if one of you has an email app that checks email every 10+ minutes, keeping the phone awake, and moving data), or whoever works in a workplace with worse reception (that will eat battery very quickly, as the phone uses battery to get 'louder' so that the cell phone tower can 'see' it), will have their phone hit 0% more quickly.
The difference between 88% and 92% may actually be nothing. It's just your phone's 'guess' at how much battery is left. His phone's 'guess' is different, because the variables going into the calculation are totally different for a handful of minor reasons.
I wouldn't sweat it.
If yours hits 10% when his is still at 40 or 50%, with similar usage, yeah, that's something to pay attention to.
But the battery % isn't THAT accurate, to even sweat 4%.
I promise.

Alot of widgets can also change your battery life as well. Especially things like Facebook, location based weather, latitude, etc. Ones that are always updating and using data or gps.

Terrible battery life with the OTA update

I have the stock 4.5.9 gingerbread update on my AT&T ATRIX. However I am observing a terrible battery life. There are too many solutions in the forum to follow. Can someone direct me to the appropriate one? I am rooted and unlocked. I used the unlocked 4.5.9 sbf for upgrading from from Froyo to gingerbread 2.3.4
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
there;s a lot of solutions because poor battery life can be cause by many things, you have to find out what is draining your battery. try calibrating first let it drain until your phone turns off and then if you have cwm install then wipe batterystats and then a full uninterrupted charge
Try setting profiles in SetCPU and freezing apps with TitaniumBackup. Theres a topic for each of these two solutions.
battery stats 6h 3m 29s on battery (now left with 10% of battery)
Display 49%
Phone Idle 22%

this is just terrible .. i never had such battery life with Froyo. i dont understand what might be the problem. Meanwhile i will try to calibrate my battery.

Calibrate your battery.
Then freeze your bloat.
Problem solved.
dont forget you might also being playing with your phone a lot more trying to see all the new stuff in the update. Thus causing more battery drain.

There are some strange things happening with the battery. I let my battery discharge completely to the point where phone shuts down. Then I plugged in to charger, waited for 2-3 minutes so that I can start the phone. Started the phone and saw 50% battery. Don't know what's going on.
I was told by an admin from another site that most of the battery programs do not work with ova ginbread. You go to settings/about/status and observe the battery. I do no I was also getting flaky results with 2 of the battery programs.

That's a GB bug... there's a battery fix in the development section to flash which deals with the reboot battery jumping. (turn off phone at 50%, turn on phone and it says 70%)
I am having problems with my Atrix too. With my usage, I used to be able to get almost 3 days of battery life. Now it hardly lasts a day. I have checked pretty much all settings (sync, sleep) and all seems fine as far as I'm concerned. So I am having hard time trying to find what is causing this. The only suspect I have right now is wifi. I don't think wifi is sleeping even though I've selected "When screen turns off" in the sleep policy.

[Q] Why do soo many people recommend something soo bad for your battery?

One of the worst things you can do to a lithium battery is discharge it completely. They don't suffer from "memory" yet every time someone here in the forums complains that they are getting crappy battery life the instruction to discharge and recharge to 100% before clearing stats pops up.
For those who are interested here is an article that explains in detail.
batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
My main question- Is there some function in android that looks at the maximum depth of discharge level of the battery or is it that most people don't understand the characteristics of L-ion and confuse them with those of Ni-Mh or Ni-Cad?
I want to know because if I need to completely discharge to get better perfomance, despite the reduction in charge cycle lifetime, I will do it but only infrequently.
I've only let my battery discharge completely once, and it wasn't on purpose. From the posts I see here I think I get above average battery life. About 18 hours miui before I go for the charger and on 2.2 roms I'd get 20 hours and still have 40% or so to go. So no I don't think completely discharging your battery does anything for battery life.

I have never run mine down completely. Gotten it to about 6% but that was because I was fighting ROM flashing problems. I usually call 25-30% enough for me and plug in then. I am also getting 30 hours out of my 2.2 with a good deal of use. I used to have a Motorola and their batteries are total crap. If you EVER let it get down below 10%, it took some real work for it to charge correctly and boot up. Even as much as a hardware mod where I have had to cut the wires on a USB charge cord and charge it rigged up with the wires pressed against the battery and prongs in the phone. Very dangerous, but worked for a last resort.
Discharging the battery is not for the sake of the battery,but more so for the ROMs data and how it acquires the battstats usage. I only run it up and down and clear stats when flashing a new ROM, but I do use my phone moderate to heavy daily and have had great success in battery life the way I calibrate it.
The solution I think is to use a larger capacity battery and regulate it to narrower window of operation never fully charging or discharging.
The fastest killer though seems to be heat.
I have read several times that your phone does not fully discharge the battery...that there is still a minimal amount of charge,not enough for the phone to opperate but enough to not damage the battery when it shuts down
Maybe the batterystats file can be saved after being calibrated once and then restored after every wipe oor flash.. that would save some time aabd according to you guys, batt life too
Sent from a cell tower to the XDA server to you.
I've only ever calibrated my a few times and only after flashing a new rom. I never run my battery down after resetting the stats. I just use my phone as I normally do. My understanding of calibration is that it's not about squeezing more life out of the battery despite what most people think but of getting a more accurate measurement of the battery's actual charge. Also while it's true that the phone will shut of before the battery is completely discharged damaging the battery, allowing the battery charge to drop that low shortens your battery's life and decreases the amount of charge your battery can hold.
What gets me is I also read somewhere that for optimum battery life you should keep your battery level somewhere between 70%-40%. Of course that doesn't stop me from charging my phone to 100% everyday. I don't remember where I found that article but I'll post a link if I can find it again.
The reason this bad advice about completely discharging your battery persists is probably the same reason people keep recommending automatic task killers.

Discharging the Battery & Running the Battery Dead is 2 Different things!
We recommend running the battery dead ( Phone Shuts Off ) & recharging while off to train the Android OS from Full > Empty..
Running the Phone until Dead is not Going to hurt the Battery in anyways shape or form despite what you may think or read!
The Reason is, the battery is never fully Discharge & still holds Voltage.. The Calculations of Charged / Dead is at the Kernel Level, so even when dead it still has a 3.4v still or roughly..
As long as the kernel isn't tampered with, discharging the battery via the Phone will never hurt the battery period!
Now, Based on the link you posted you would have to run the battery down past the safe discharge point.. Via some other means of killing the battery, other than using the Phone.
To help ease your mind, Remember this:
~ Charge levels is controlled by the kernel
~ Even when Phone powers off, there is still plenty of charge in the Phone's Battery
~ Battery is never Fully charged, as this also hurts lithium batteries
Roughly every Android kernel does not let lithium battery get below 3.4v and at most 96% charged.
Hope this helps,
~Eugene
If you are still concerned wait until your phone turns off and stick your battery on a meter. You will see there is still power left in it...
My original battery that came with the phone got great life, then couple of months later it was discharging in like 2-4 hrs(froyo), so I called, they sent another one free...5-6 months later that one started doing it as well, so I pulled out the old one from the drawer, it powered on at like 85% ! and I was getting crazy ass life out of it on miui over 30 hrs one time...now that one is acting up again, so I'm going to try to swap again..lol...maybe there's something to not using them for a while...
I've used diff roms and combinations of draining/recharging...calibrating, not calibrating...it's always different results..honestly I don't think there's any rhyme or reason to it other than the fact that many vibrants have diff hardware and there will always be some weird quirk on a per user basis...
As far as hurting it by draining it all the way, I hardly think that's the case seeing as with both batteries I've always let it run down...not on purpose but there has been many many times I've plugged in at 1% or had to power back on because it died...charged it up and got 20-30hrs no prob..usually issues come up when flashing a new rom...
i think it all comes down to luck of the draw. ive had my vibrant since launch day, and i still manage great battery life. my battery is actually stamped 7-02-2010. every 2 weeks or so ill drain the battery completely, turn it back on and allow itself to die again, and finally allow it to fully charge overnight or 4 hours. i usually get a good 7-8 hours of constant use on cm7, or over 24hours if let on standby.

Battery Life

What is everyone's battery life on this phone? 55 minutes in with light use I'm down to 75%
My phone is rooted so not sure if that matters, waiting on someone to allow LTE to be switched off
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
I haven't done any objective tests (too busy playing with it) but mine has been great. I'm rooted and overclocked. I've enabled the lowest power stepping, my battery power has been phenomenonal and getting better. Inverted apps, dark themes, great deep idle and a massive stock battery I fully expect the g -note to shape up as a new standard in phone battery life.
You've must have something, a background service, something like that, and it is chewing up your electrons. Have you checked your battery stats? If you can't find a power thief return it, or at least exchange the battery. With millions of batteries there has got to be a few bad ones. Until then, can you post a battery usage graph?

I've always found it wise to run the battery to full charge/complete discharge a time or two to calibrate the battery
When I got my skyrocket new, I drained the battery down to 20% in 5 hours, then it took another 5 hours to drain that. Afterwards, the battery "appeared" to last longer. Today is my "kill the battery" day.
I've always read the Li-Ion batteries work best at 40% capacity. Not sure why, but I would think that the meter is highly inaccurate at the upper and lower ends of the readings.

battery drain - found a way to fix it...

I accidentally found a way to over come the unsual battery drain. This method may not work out with completely worn out - old batteries. A month after I bought my s3, my battery started to drain excessively. I had installed no new apps..
Phone Usage was almost the same. Before the battery drain I got almost 26~30 hours of battery at normal use... after the battery drain I got less than 12 hours for the same usage.
So here is the method.
Put the phone on charge. After puttting it on charge, switch off the phone... u can restart it after twenty seconds... ideally wait till the phone cools down, if it feels hot... don't use the phone till it reaches 100% charge. This method works for any initial charge. I.e. it works when the battery is at 98% or at 1%. But if u try this method when u have 1% and u keep using the phone while charging, this method may not work... so ideally don't use the phone while charging.
So now I do this everyday and my phone lasts for 26~30 hours on normal use.
I used gsam battery monitor pro to monitor my phone's temperature and battery usage.
It also gives the average number of hours the battery will last.
For those who dont know : Ideally charge the battery when it is leas than 10%. This will increase the overall battery life.
P.s. it works for me. Don't complain if it doesn't work for u!!

You basically calibrated your battery. Typically only needs done about once a month at most to keep your battery gauge accurate. Any more than that hurts your battery.

Calibration is draining the battery till 0%, phone switches off and charging it till 100% when the phone is switched off.
This did not do the job. Battery drain was still bad.
After trying out my method, i charged the phone for two or three cycles without this method. Then the battery drain got horrible till the method was repeated.
I have been testing this method for a month. It hasn't caused Any harm. My battery life is good.
Its in effect the well posted bump charge method .

I don't know a lot about batteries so I don't know how much of this is true.
I read that the phones chip, if it regularly see's the phone's battery going no lower than say, 15% over time (i.e, user always charges it once it hits 15%) that it will start to use this 15% mark as the "empty" level and that the best thing to do is to "remind it" every now and again, that there are battery levels below this 15% by letting it drain to 0%
Anyone got any comments on that?

Once you get above 90%, I would stop worrying about it. I think most if not all devices need to go through charge/discharge cycles while fully charged to keep the battery life good, so when it is "charged" it will actually be ramping up and down to do that. How this is shown to the user varies across manufacturers, and there is really no clearly right solution -- if you show them the actual changes in level they start complaining and getting concerned about their battery not being at 100%, so it is good to just show it at 100% at this point but then you are giving a little white lie about the actual level.
NOTE last line 100% is not really true .
As to the 15% all i read is that continual dropping below 15% / 10% is bad for the battery's overall life .

The other thing with Li-On batteries is that (as you say) using the last 10-15% of charge is damaging to overall battery life. If the battery reaches "True 0", it would be irreparable. That said, this last 10-15% of "Danger zone" (as I will now call it) is inhibited by an EPROM setting so a user cannot actually get below that.
Essentially, what I am saying is that the 10-15% "danger zone" is not included in the 0-100% that we perceive to be the "battery life" as the user.
So in the 1st attached image, the Red area represents the "danger Zone" or EEPROM protected charge. The Green area represents the 0-100% that we use as a user.
But in this case, I am asking if the EPROM sees the 15% remaining charge of the green area (forgetting the danger zone exists), if regularly not dropping below that, it becomes the new 0%, losing the last 15% of the green area as per the second image?
The phone only sees a reported voltage value, which it compares to a table giving an approximate % remaining - based on a fixed battery capacity.
The 15% danger/red zone you refer to is below the minimum voltage the phone will allow the battery to ever reach, as below this value the battery itself will act to disconnect - giving unexpected shut down and data loss/partition corruption. You would also be unable to recover a battery in this condition with a normal charger.
Best advise is still to recharge before the battery reaches 10 to 15% of the phone's indicated remaining value - you can safely go down to 0% indicated but will lose a little battery capacity each time you do this, as the electrodes inside the cell are being worn away. It's no big deal, hence why the phone permits it to happen, you'll just need to replace the battery earlier.
Similarly charging to 100% and holding the cell there is just as bad, remove from the charger and start using it right away.

*shrug* Sorry, I read your post about 10 times last night and figured you were talking about calibration. I then posted accordingly. Tonight, after I read your reply, I tried reading your post again a few more times. Finally, I came to the conclusion that your post makes no sense, so I give up trying to decipher what your post was trying to say. I surrender.
The best answer to the battery drain issue is a application called "GREENIFY". It closes all the background applications.. Try it n thank me if u feel it worked.. It increased my battery life more than twice..
