Hey guys, I installed for a few days the Photon CM9 build and I absolutely loved it. The only problem I had was that it seemed to consume battery way too fast (and I calibrated it several times to make sure it was done properly)
It would drain around ~20-25% overnight. I don't know if anyone else is facing similar issues? And if you are, what steps did you take to remedy it? (As much as I appreciate nottach's work on TDS, I cannot go back to Gingerbread anymore )

Im starting this thread because of every battery thread I've read people NEVER seem to solve the problem unless they replace their ATRIX. Now a few questions. This is directed to any ATRIX owner in an attempt to find a solid solution.
1. Did your ATRIX only start having battery issues after upgrading to gingerbread?ATRIX or have you had issues beginning from stock froyo?
2. Has any solution suggested by anyone ever worked for you?
3. Does your ATRIX get hot and battery drains extremely fast?
4. Are you frequently connected to 4g H+?
If you answer no. To #2 and yes to #3 I suspect it may be a hardware problem...
on the battery this is what I see and find strange and this is the battery that came with the phone.
1880mah
1880/1930
Mah(min/typ)
7.0/7.1
Wh(min/typ)
Idk where to find production number so I guessed its this [GB/T 18287]
On the phone idk the specific so I took a guess too XD [SKU:65230]
if someone knows the two above please correct me but anyways I posted those because we can compare for those that have a problem and maybe pinpoint it to be a factory defect. Again I am doing this because this battery AND heating issue is aggravating and after 2 months I can't stand it anymore no fixes ever worked so help me and those with the issue out by providing information thanks.
Hello,
1-Yes
2-Not really, I have increase the battery life but not good as the stock Froyo.
3-Yes, but as I remember it get hot too on Froyo. Less or more... I don't know.
4-Always
I have buy an Andida 2200mAh battery and use it since 3 week, I will return to the stock battery tomorrow to check if there is a difference.
1- Nope, my battery has always lasted for around 8-10 hours everyday. (I play games and browse the internet everyday).
2-Never had any battery problem so....
3-Not at all. My Atrix has always been cool.
4. for about 4-5 hours a day (usually i am on wifi but wifi or not.....i have the same battery life).
It could be a ROM problem that you are having, maybe doing a clean install of a ROM could help you(do a complete wipe before installing the ROM). Are you using faux 123's kernel? It under-clocks your Atrix to as low as 216 GHz when your handset is idle but overclocks it to 1.1 GHz when it use. You could download setcpu to under-clock it for better battery saving and this will make your phone less hot.
You can and should also download a battery app from the market and see what your battery temp is like compared to other users. If it's a hardware issue indeed, you better return your Atrix and get a new one asap as it could cause you harm in the future.

That's just it with everything stock gingerbread my friends ATRIX doesn't heat up as hot and eat through batteries like a fat guy an a dozen doughnuts in one sitting. We both had stock when I tried this his phone easily outlasts mine both on 4g and a factory reset I tested this when he asked me to root his phone I was gunna kill its bat and charge it to root and install unlock etc. And to my surprise holy sh#t his battery life WAY outlasted mine, AND HIS DEVICE IS ONE.MONTH OLDER i've had this ATRIX for 2 months now so its none of whatever everyone is saying about battery caliBS its a firm suspicion on a hardware flaw, the sooner people can find it the sooner Motorola can replace defective handsets, ridiculous, two stock gingerbread motorolas with 100% stock and mine only lasts about had as
long as my friends own who gets battery results everyone brags about.
i own 3 atrixes ive had an atrix since launch day had its issues at first but one thing that was never a problem was the battery it was always amazing lasted 2 days sometimes well since the offical ota uPdate i updated only one that way its my main phone and right away i noticed the heat coming from the metal clip holding the sd card then next i noticed the batt life was losing 10 every 20 mins or so. since i have rooted it just so i could try n use tb to freeze all the bloatware and still nothing then i tryed just bout every other method on this forum so i didnt wanna lose my warrenty on that 1 so i didnt unlock it so i took my other atrix with a slightly cracked screen it was running on 4.1.26 so i rooted it unlocked it and charged too 100 then flashed to alien v3 so wen it was done it upgraded to gb and right away i noticed the heat from it just like my other one and battery life was losing 10% every 20 mins just like my other one i have also tryed everything on this forum im lost now dnt no wat to do somebody please help also as upset i am about this happing im very relieved to c im not the only person with this issue
So I couldn't post on the Devs page...I flashed Worksheds gsb 4.2 2.3.7. Followed the directions to the letter. Really loved the rom but I had serious issues with battery drain. Almost like it was taking away life when I plugged it in and when it was running. Charges fine now that I switched back to Gin-tazz the end. Ive flashed several roms and never had many problems. Any help would be appreciated as I'd really like to switch back.
I'm on gsb4.2 as well but haven't have the battery life problem. I don't use 3g or gps so that might be why.
I am having problems with the Ics theme reverting back to normal theme after rebooting. Also experiencing a soft reboot when I connect to my PC and switch to USB mode. Tried it with usb debugging on and off but no dice still soft reboot.
Don't mean to hijack your question but I can't post anywhere else either and the eris forum is slowly dying.
Based on GSB, this is a common issue; and don't get me wrong GSB is outstanding. However, if you try to re-calibrate the battery it might be beneficial to the battery.
Hope this was useful.
Hello there folks!
Sorry if this question's been asked before, but it seems that with the recent (quite amazing!) accomplishment of CM7 on the X2, the information on compatibility with certain scripts/apps/etc. is a little scattered.
That being said, I was hoping if anyone knew if the Speedy scripts would work on this ROM.
Thanks for the info!
Why do you even need it? Its amazing without it already

I installed it a couple days ago and things seem to be just fine. I didn't install it for performance gains though. When I was on liberty I had it installed and it made a huge difference with battery life. That's something that (although it's not terrible) I haven't been real happy with on cm7. At least. Not compared to what I had on liberty. So, I figured it can't hurt to try it (can always restore a nandroid) . So far, it seems to have made quite a difference for me when it comes to battery life. Don't know if it messes up something else or not. If so, I haven't noticed it.
My battery life is different every day with CM7... with ~same usage. Some days the battery will take FOREVER to drain and others it goes by too fast. Turn Data off while idling
I know sounds crazy but Ive never been happy with the battery life in my Rezound...but now it seems that with every new android iteration that comes out it gets a little bit worse. I remember when I was unhappy with getting 2+ hours of screen on time and now Im wishing I could do that again. I definitely got better battery life on ICS...not really sure about gingerbread because Im not sure Ive ever ran it on this phone.
Anyone have an ideas on where I can find some? I know its a bit of an odd question but as of now Im looking for the best battery life I can possible get on 4g over anything else.

Try EclipticRez Revamped v9... It gave me the best battery life of any ROM on the Rezound. The main drawback is Google Now, it is not supported in ICS and there is a hacked version in the ROM, so you can't update or change it. If you don't use this your good, I just used Chrome and it's search function.
I never use google now anyway....
Well that was way too sensey, even de sensed, and it ran oddly on my phone...I just reloaded CM9..we will see how that does.
I've been stock rooted for several weeks now & have noticed that the phone isn't quite as fast as it was stock. It's not as responsive at times & even worse I've noticed the battery life has decreased. Before I rooted I could easily get a solid 12 hours & now I get 8 to 10. Last night I went to sleep & my phone was at 72% & when I woke up today it was at 12 which is horrible standby time.
This is the 3rd HTC I've rooted & I've never had an issue like this before. I haven't had a chance to go S-Off yet. Any idea on what it could be? Any suggestions on what I could do to improve the performance back to what it was?
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I'm not sure from what you have said what the cause is. I just know that I have used all of the different roms for this phone (I'm on Verizon) and never had any battery drain like that. Maybe a factory reset and watch what 3rd party apps you re-install? One (or more) may be causing the drain.
