My phone drains the battery very quickly from 100% to 1% but after reaching 1% it can be used for hours.Last time after the full charge battery dropped from 100-1% in about 2 1/2 hours of use on WiFi but after that it lasted for more than 13 hours on 1% but the Network data, Bluetooth and WiFi was off.
Currently i am running CM7 stable (battery fix is also applied) i was also facing such issues on the stock 2.3.4.
maybe a battery re-calibration can solve this issue?

I bought my Atrix 3 weeks ago. My previous device was also another Motorola, Milestone.
When I first started to use Atrix I found that the battery was draining so quickly even I didn’t install any apps yet. It was becoming 1% in 70 minutes with full display and running default apps.
I tried to full battery several times, did factory resets and finally went back to shop. The shop replaced the battery with another new one.
Still it happened same problem. Then they changed my device with another new one. It was same, too.
I would give it back to shop but last time I decided to discharge it until it turns off.
At this point I found that discharging takes long time after it became 1%. For example by heavy using it becomes 1% in 70 minutes, then it takes at least 200 minutes more even I watch videos via Youtube, play games etc.. It means in total it takes at least 4,5 hours with full display and heavy usage. That’s OK for me as battery life.
But I want my battery meter show correct percentage. Then I can be able to know when it will turn off.
I tried battery calibration several times. I search a lot about this problem but found nothing. Probably people thinks that their battery life is too short.
So cannot find solution.
Summary: My Atrix’s battery meter immediately drop to 1% and then runs 3 times longer than previous 99%. PLEASE HELP ME TO CORRECT MY BATTERY METER DISPLAY.
Do you think that your battery fix way helps me?
Please see details of my Atrix below:

I don't know. I bought it, and unlocked it directly, then flash CM7 Rom, but noticed that the battery drain very fast. However, after the indicator becomes 1%, I can still use rather a long time. I thought it was an error on battery meter, but I can't make it display correctly through calibration.
Now if the battery is fully charged, I can still use rather a long time after the indicator becomes 1%. But after the battery drained, it can't be charged completely. It really disappoints me very much.

Ya that's the same problem i have i think its something to do with phone recognizing the mah capacity of the battery if u can see the charge-full-design in sys/class/power-supply/battery/charge-full-design u will notice it showing only 500 which should be 1880 that's why our phone drops and charge quickly according the capacity its getting from charge-full-design.
This value can be changed on other phone but for Motorola i have not found any tutorial or app to do so

And for charging don't take off the phone from charging on 100% bcoz when the phone battery meter is showing 100% its battery mv is less than 3900mv and if u keep it on charge after 100% battery mv value will gradually go up to 4200mv which is the actual capacity of the battery.

Oh, thanks. The value in sys/class/power-supply/battery/charge-full-design is just a result, representing the battery statue. So the key is that the battery capacity can't be recognized correctly by the phone. I just test another battery, and the value 1880!
But the former battery doesn't look like a fake one. Actually, I bought them together. I can't understand.

If your rooted, try battery calibration. Plenty of threads about, and varying methods.
If not, another battery, and if new, ensure charge fully, phone off, overnight, before first boot.

forgot to mention i'm running [Rom]Wanam v3.2 at that time, currently on v3.4, the dark extended areas is me at work where i turn airplane mode on due to serious bad reception at work... sync is on rest of the time for gmail/whatsapp/kakao other than that manual updates on twit and some news apps...
u can see the first jump in the first pic, that was due to me exchanging with 1st spare battery( got 4 + original batt= total of 5)
i dont know if its the phone and exchanging batteries thats causing such high battery losses at the end of the battery life...
plus yesterday and the day before battery goes crazy when it reaches 30-20% and when i go for a restart to freshen things up... the phone wont switch on thinking the battery is totally dead... i put in the new battery and its @ 100% ... switch back to the old battery to see where the 30-20% went... it wont start...
now im thinking... keeping 1 battery in the phone with a charge from 0-100% actually takes the phone all the way to 0% but exchanging the battery wont...
how am i supposed to use the full potential of the batteries...

been using this app since my old sgs, it sure works and have been using it ever since...
tho in the [Rom]Wanam ... install procedure says that its backing up the battery stats and this lead me to think that a batt calibration is not needed... or am i wrong to think so?
If you change batteries, all previous data will be irrelevant, and you need to calibrate each time. You can do things manually by installing battery monitor widget, charge to 100% AND until the mA reaches zero (Voltage spills be approx 4200mV). At this point, quickly delete battery stats (menu / stats /) and immediately unplug.
https://market.android.com/details?id=ccc71.bmw
Top help with monitoring, You can config the update rate and widget content so it shows mA, %, mV. Also have alarm when stops charging (if configured).
There is also an option for calibration, but I only use this method when done above first. Never discharge to zero, 1% min.

Thing is, what's the use of having spare batteries if this will happen on each battery swap and having to go thru calibration means having a charger nearby...
and by 0% i didnt actually mean 0 but till that 1% turned the phone off
if what u said is true, then i guess i need some kind of script to help and keep the batt data even after swapping.. based on 1 good calibrated file swapping batteries should start from a certain point even if the batteries do lose some of their charge but continue to moniter things as they were... i dunno if what i said makes sense... correct me if i'm wrong
Not really 100% sure, but sure I have not always calibrated after a battery swap in the dhd..The previous battery was calibrated and performing well, and the replacement would have been very close to 100% charge. I didn't notice any irregularities in the battery data, or battery drain.
So I suppose a good bat stats file should help the phone showing relatively "accurate" data after a battery swap, if they're both "conditioned" (gone through a number of charging cycles, not straight out of thre box)
Maybe I could be wrong, but based on past experience.

Flash sirkays 6.1.1 ics kernel.In which you can use your phone for 2 days
Then flash hybrid rom(2.3)--I choose this rom coz it is lite and can run very smooth even in 800mhz
Then under clock your phone to 800mhz and use conservative governor

Charge your phone to 100% (421)and then calibrate it....IT SHOULD WORK
maybe reflash ics firmware or change battery or take it to repair center
Just restart your phone.

When I plug my charger percentage remains frozen so can’t see wen it is fully charged. And when I try to calibrate it just says 0% battery spent for example when calibrating web browsing... It is as if some battery sensor burned out or something. Could that be the case?

Hello! I bought this phone last month. Since I got it, I've never experienced any problem with it. For four days, I noticed that the battery drains very quickly, without any logical explanation for this. The data connection is turned off, Wi-Fi is turned off. Last evening, I charge it to 100%. This morning,I found it turned off, with 0% battery. What solutions do you have to solve this problem? Have you encountered this problem?

Can you please provide some more details on this?
I.E. What is it plugged into to charge? Laptop, Desktop, AC, etc etc.
- I ask this because I had a phone that would actually consume more power than a USB port could put out. when turning off the laptop, it actually allowed a back drain for some reason, and the next morning the device was dead. (Not this phone)
Also, what applications are running? Any?
Finally, you can try to retrain your battery... Wiping stats does not work, ever. So despite what anyone tells you, don't do it. You're just wasting time. SOURCE
So, how do you retrain your battery? Let it die completely. Then plug it in to charge. Don't use it while it's charging if you can help it. DO NOT remove it from the charger until it's at 100%. Once this is done, use it til it dies on it's own. Then yet again, charge it fully and then go back to your normal use.
In some cases, these batteries can go bad, for various reasons. A quick test, but is not always trustworthy is to spin your battery on either side. If it makes more than 2 full rotations, it's swelling and going out. Replace it.
The best alternative is to take it to a battery shop, and let them put it on a Cadex machine. (Pronounced Kay-Dex) ... This machine will charge and discharge the battery several times over a few hours and truly test the current life -vs- the life it should be. Anything rated less than 80% remaining life should be replaced.
SOURCE: I work here
I charge it only from power outlet, with stock charger.

Can you please tell us what applications you have running in the background?
Also deactivate google now.(or the google services in google maps). download and install GSam Battery Monitor and after a cycle tell us what applications are eating your battery the most. It's clear that you either use yout phone(screen on time) allot or there is/are some applications that prevent your phone from going to sleep.
I use battery widget reborn and it shows me wneh the phone woke up,when the phone had the screen on,wi-fi on,gps on. Try it as well.
I also had battery issues when on JB. I downgraded back to ics. It's much more reliable when it comes to battery life. And the performance is about the same.
I don't have any app installed. After i replace the battery, i made a hard reset and I did not installed any app. I will install cpuspy and betterbatterystats for more results. I will back tomorrow. Until than, maybe you can provide me more advices. It can be from a damage sim card?

I removed the sim card, but in flight mode is the same problem... The last solution is to change the rom with a custom one. Any recomandation?
It's not that. Not the signal. It's the firmware. JB has these problems. In ICS Display is the major consumer followed by Phone Idle and Cell Standby.
I also had these problems in JB and reverted back to ICS .
I would advise you to install CM 10.1 on the phone. The battery life is better than stock. I get around 12-16 hours normally. The latest RC4 has fixed almost all the bugs present in older CM 10.1 variations. Give it a try.
I will root the phone and I will give a try with CM 10.1 or I revert to 4.0.4. If all this will be for nothing, I will sell the phone!

On ICS you will get great battery life Telling from my experience as i have reverted back to ICS after trying JB and CM 10.1( both have very poor battery life ) . So instead of wasting time just flash ICS and forget about battery issue :good:

Use the offline flash..

Hello!
Lately I've been suffering from a battery problem, I will explain what happens.
I charge my phone completely and then I start using it... when it hits 30% left, the next drop is 20 instead of 29%. For example... If it takes 3 minutes to go down from 84% to 83%... that's the same time it takes from 30% to 20%.
It also happens when it hits 14%, instead of dropping to 13% it drops to 4%.
How can I fix this? I've been told that it's an issue of flashing too many ROM's
Actual ROM; Carbon 1.7 Stable version
Previous ROM: D-WIZ JBX.
P.S: I've been facing this issue for months now, I think it started with D-WIZ.
Thanks
I am also having these problems yesterday i flashed aokp rom it all went well but today it was showing 70% and as soon as i put the mobile data on it showed 49%

Why don't you guys calibrate your battery once . Let me know if it works or not . If not then ill look out for something else.
Please hit the thanks :thumbup: if i ever helped ya !!
How old is your phone.?
Its common for old batteries to incorrectly display battery data. This simply happens because the battd daemon uses the estimation based on checkpoints and voltage of the battery. When the battery gets old, the actual charge stored is less than the reported value and results in wrong calculation by battd.
If your device is pretty old, it is in a sense normal. However if its new then it might be some problem.
PS: The battery calibration is a myth! The /data/system/batterystats.bin file is not related to battery charge/life/status (exactly as Google devs stated earlier).
In case of our Razr, charge the battery to 100% and keep charging for few hours after that. Then disconnect it battd will display correct 99%. That's all you need when changing ROMs or batteries! Do not waste your time on "battery calibration"!

I've had the same problem and I cannot seem to find a solution. My battery also INCREASES from about 80% to 100 when I'm charging an almost dead battery

I also get the 80% to 100% when charging

How old is your phone.?
Its common for old batteries to incorrectly display battery data. This simply happens because the battd daemon uses the estimation based on checkpoints and voltage of the battery. When the battery gets old, the actual charge stored is less than the reported value and results in wrong calculation by battd.

Well my razr is almost 10 months old!
So there is no way to repair it? :\

What I usually when I switch ROMs is I will both download battery calibration, and keep the charge at 100% for a couple of hours after. That way there is no doubt that it truly is at 100%, and Battery Calibration can do the job well hope this helps!

I wouldn't consider it very old. I think in your case it can be fixed. There were some files that needed to be replaced. don't remember it exactly but will look into it.
Mine does this to. Not sure if there are dead battery cells or if its associated with rom.
Having this issue also calibrate don't help me unless I'm doing it wrong..... RAZR maxx

Hi everyone!
My Atrix battery won't charge past 69%, it constantly overheats (recently it even shut down because of it) while in use or charging (in the lower area of the phone) and the battery drains really fast. I can't get 12 hours of battery life. I am running CM7 (obviously), and before CM7 i had the stock 2.3.6 and Avatar ROM, which was based on 4.1.2, and all of those problems persisted on all ROMs.
I never leave WiFi, Bluetooth, 3g, 2g or GPS on. As far as I can tell, there is no application that's using up my CPU.
Right now, I've installed Usage Timelines to make sure that nothing uses my CPU, and at first it was normal, staying around 10%, and then all of a sudden it jumped to 100%, and the only two things that were using it were android system (at around 50%) and status bar (at around 30%). Basically, the whole phone acts abnormal and I don't know what to do anymore. I've installed multiple CPU monitoring apps, and every one showed different results. A few of them showed very anomalous readings, showing that my CPU rapidly changes speed, while a few of them showed perfectly normal readings.
I bought the phone on eBay so no warranty. I've had the issues since I bought the phone, but I thought they're just battery issues and since I was already planning on buying a new one, I didn't ask for a return. Now I'm wondering, is it really the battery or could it be hardware?

Check with CPU spy after running for a day, and make sure its properly entering "Deep Sleep" after inactivity. If its not, that could be the culprit. I seem to remember there being a BT Deep Sleep fix that fixed this issue.
I some times have the same problem with the overheating. I just solved it changing the kernel or the rom. I believe there must be something incompatible between our hardware and the software/kernel in our devices
Okay feltZ, I'll try that.
I'll also try changing my kernel, but I don't think that is the issue, because I believe both Avatar ROM and CM7 come with their own kernels, and as I had the issue on both of those, as well as on the stock ROM, I don't think that's it.

Here's the thread on the topic, and some screen shots of CPU Spy and what to look for:
Also the fix should be on there as well.

Nope, it's not the deep sleep.
I've found a fix for the battery not charging to 100%, but the overheating and low battery life still remain an issue.
Why my atrix can not charge up to 100% only 90%. Help me

Use atrix battery fix. In that app, check the mV when atrix stops charging. If it is lose to 4200mV, tjen it is fully charged

did you checked the mV values?
I have to use it every charge, mine don't go past 80%.
Still, battery life is the same, it just will stay in 5% longer
After charging volume is 3627 mv not 4200

Then you should get a new battery. Arroun that is the value i get when my phone is at 15~20%
