[Q] Battery life - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It seems a lot of people were saying the Atrix had very good battery life, but after flashing one rom and kernel then back to stock with stock kernel. It seems my battery life isn't the best, it may just be me or actually the phone.
So, is it just what I did to the phone or the phone?
I'm at 60% with 5 hours and 12minutes of use.

You used a lot of wifi and 3g. It looks like your phone could make a workday from morn til night on a single charge. How much battery did you expect? 3days? You can 5 days if you just leave it in your pocket in airplane mode.
I voided my warranty and your mum.

My Atrix 4G drop 30% after 1 night (2am - 7 am)...
I checked batterymix software, the fingerprint service comsumes about 70% of the TTL energy eventhough i disable the service and set security screen to none.
How can I turn the service off permanently?
I'm using (3.14) CRUST v0.7 with [email protected]#1 kernel....
Srry because I just bought the phone (used) yesterday!

Guys, is there really a need in creating yet another battery life thread?
I have personally wrote a complete thread with all known fixes, as did a number of other forum members.

I think the battery statusbar is wrongly coded... I have the same results as well all the time.. Even when I don't using the screen (during night), the statusbar still shows up about 30% battery consumption...
The thing that affect battery drain the most is 3G mobile data communication in my opinion, because just turing it off, the phone got juiced up for more than 3 times as usual...

Not only turning off the 3g internet, but using for calls as well. that is why i started a discussion thread for that matter but no one seemed to respond to that. maybe it was too large to read??

Saw your thread, but I'm not that sure how I would comment or respond :X, as there doesn't seem to be any solution to fix it.

[Q] Bad battery life

Hello, 3 days ago I've installed CM10.1 nightly build from 2013-07-25 on my friend's Galaxy S III (international), now his battery life is really bad and he's complaining on me, any way I can improve the battery life?
Here goes a screenshot (as you can see, he wasn't even using the phone when the battery just dropped 50%):

Cyanogen mod roms are known to drain battery much faster than touchwiz.so you cant really expect the battery life to be the same as on stock or stock based roms. you may improve the battery life by using an app called Greenify. it hibernates apps so that they will not run in the backround. this can help considerably. also make sure to turn off gps , bluetooth, wifi. and mobile data when not in use.
well first tell your "friend" that thats how things are in AOSPs. Secondly use differrent kernels and proper setting to get max battery (tutorials are available) plus greenify apps you do not use. And the usual killers as GPS/WiFi/NFC/3G use only when needed or turn them off..
Something is extremely wrong there. Get a normal usage BBS dump and post it here. Also take screenshots of the BBS pages.
Also post a screenshot of your battery stats page (one that shows which apps drain battery).

[Q] Battery hit 55c, is my Samsung GS3 damaged?

I woke up this morning sat up and grabbed my phone off my nightstand like I do every morning and dropped it instantly, it was extremely hot. I turned on the screen and saw that my batter was scolding 55c it's normally 27 - 29c when I check it throughout the day. I am really concerned about the longevity of my battery and phone. Was the battery hot enough to permanently damage any of the components? Is the battery safe to use or is it ruined? There doesn't appear to be any swelling.
This is the battery I have and the case I am using. http://www.ianker.com/product/70SMI9300-B1B72A/859

Wrong forum, check the very first thread.
Sounds like your battery is going to rupture, throw it away now.

Right, like i'm going to throw away a brand new $40 battery. :laugh: Where else would I post this? It's a Q and fits under Help. I also searched Google for at least an hour and couldn't find any good information pertaining to the safe temp range.
Like the man said you are in the wrong forum .
You have I9300 or not see sticky top of the page .
Test battery if it swells then do not use it .

SM-G925F Battery problem

Hello guys, i recently bought a Galaxy S6 Edge and I'm like at about 3rd charge. I've unplugged the charger at 100% (after all night charge), I got 95% left after 19min (on screen time) browsing the Internet on Wi-Fi. What to do?
That seems normal to me. The battery life on the S6E is pretty poor compared to other phones I've had. The Marshmallow update has made it a little better but it's still not amazing.
its not normal ,,, get rooted and save battery

I have had my S6E for about a week now and I've also noticed that the battery drops fast.
What benefits to battery life is root going to give me, I have no incentive to root anymore.
I've rooted every device I have owned and I come from Android 2.1, so i am seasoned in root and the benefits that it used to pose.
Get rooted and save battery? I am rooted and haven't yet found a battery saving con, I mean app, that actually does anything. Even Greenify was greatly disappointing.
Having come from an Xperia Z1 it was quite a shock to see how bad the battery on the S6E is. I used the Z1 in exactly the same way as the S6E but the Z1 battery would last around 2 days. My S6E needs charging twice a day, minimum! Sony's Stamina mode needs porting lol

Help in understanding the cause of battery drain

Hello,
I am using Nexus 6P with the unrooted N6F26Q build of Pure Nexus ROM. I have always had decent battery performance of this phone with my general usage. Recently I have moved to a new geographic location and I see a rapid battery drain while the phone in a particular building. I do not have cell phone network here, so I have AirPlane mode turned on, but I use WiFi for internet connectivity. My observations are as follows:
1. During the day time, when I am in building A, there is no battery drain. I don't use my phone much and the battery level does not drop by much.
2. During evening and night time, I am in building B, which has a different WiFi, the battery immediately starts to deplete rapidly and in the morning I wake up with a dead phone.
3. Suspecting that the WiFi might be the cause, I tried to switch WiFi off at night, but I still found my phone to be dead in the morning.
I captured the bug report data and tried to analyze it with battery historian, but I don't have enough experience to point out the cause.
This is what the battery historian graph looks like.

Same graph from another bug report, when the WiFi was turned off during the night:
Can someone see something unusual in the graphs?
I can share the entire bug report via PM if someone wants to take a closer look.
Thank you.
