Hey everyone,
I am currently using Dorans Redpill V4 for my Atrix 4g
I had problems with my atrix battery with the constant drain and everything and I used the ultimate battery fix guide and it works! However the problem is that I have to repeat the process after EVERY charge because when i recharge it after a calibration it would never go to 100% and would be somewhere around 90-92% and I would have to recalibrate again.
I was wondering if there is a fix to that so I would not have to recalibrate and pull my battery every single day or its normal to have to recalibrate every time?
I also came across a thread that mentioned something about ATT Radio, that an updated Radio can help with battery issues. If I just flashed a Dorans Redpill V4 (Released very recently) does that mean I have the most updated radio?
PS: My battery issue was the same with using a Dorans Hybrid version rom and I do not think the problem is my battery because I used 2 backup batteries with the same results.
Thank YOU!!

Hi,
I am Bell Atrix user.
Since i have jumped from froyo to GB i am facing bad battery life, no matter what i do it drops like stone e.g 50% in 11 Hrs of sleeping
Recently I Flashed CM7 Beta and i am loving it, again only problem i can think of is with radio (for battery life)
So any suggestions about which radio should i flash for best battery life.
Note: I dont use EDGE, 3G, HSPA+ at all
and i am currently on N_01.77.33P
Any Thoughts ???
Dont kill me for asking this question again
P.S: is it ok for me to flash ATnT Radio on my CM7 ???
Did you calibrate your battery ?
Follow this guide for better battery performance: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198333
on CM7 no but on Gb (almost all or ROMs i tried) yes, no use
BTW do i have to do battery thingi every time i flash a ROM ?
i flashed froyo and it is good without any battery calibration stuff
OK, I've searched for information about this and found little, so if there is a thread already please point me to it.
My battery life has been terrible of late. According to my phone, WiFi is what is pulling the most battery (about 56%). I never really had this problem before switching ROMs. Before I had the problem, I was running z's FreeXperia 2.2 ROM and could get two-three days of battery life without turning WiFi off. Now I am running Wolf's V6 and have to charge my phone every night to keep it from dying. I've tried the battery calibration app, wiping battery stats, and the battery life guide. This problem has occurred with all my 2.3 ROMs that I've flashed, so I know it's not the ROM itself. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm thinking I will use PC Companion to repair back to 2.1 then flash back to 2.3. My hope is something messed with WiFi during previous flash. Anyway, I thought I'd check here before I went flashing my phone to death again.
Also, I know someone will say 'just turn off WiFi,' but I don't have unlimited data (thanks AT&T) so I keep my WiFi on so I don't run up my data usage.
Which kernel ru using for wolfs Rom the stock or custom ...i think stock kernel gives a better battery life compared to the custom...and which all kernel did u try for his Rom
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I'm running the stock kernel. I've figured out that WiFi isn't the problem. I switched WiFi to be turn off when phone shuts down and that helped, but it's still terrible battery life. I had it fully charged last night before I went to bed. I used it lightly before going to sleep and woke up this morning at 81%. No reason the phone should be draining that quickly. Now cell standby is 39% of battery usage and phone idle is 32% of usage. WiFi is down to 20% with new setting. I guess I need to learn how to do screenshots.
Right now I'm thinking something must not have happened correctly when I flashed the baseband/kernel, because I've tried every piece of advice on this forum. Will reflash back to stock and start there. Will report back to say if that helped.
I have the same issue but right after installing fb 2.0, before that it was awesome
Just an update on the "problem." I flashed back to 2.1 then flashed Wolfbreak v6 twice to try and solve the problem. I also didnt do a full restore on one flash hoping to figure something out. Finally, after having my phone freak out on me, I decided to flash the stock x10a 2.3 firmware. Battery life is back to pre-wolfbreak levels. Wondering if the whole x10i vs. x10a is causing a problem as wolfbreak's rom is for the "i" and I have an "a"
Running FPS uncap on stock rom and it performs well for me. Satisfied for now...until ICS rom
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.

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.
hi, all
yesterday i updated my Atrix 4g to 2.3.6 rom NottachTrix. coming from the Darkside, i have found that the battery drains really fast. 20% in an hour or so with very light use. i did not have any problems with the Darkside. being a new user i can not post in to the development thread but someone else is having similar problems there. could anyone point me in the right direction?
cheers
I had the same problem with an ICS ROM. Try disabling sync when you don't use you phone, this sucks your battery as hell.
i have the same problem with ics rom y changes kernel 3 times but is the same, any one now how to fix..
so far i have tried everything used fauxs 1 ghz non-overclocked kernel, tring set sync off etc but no result. i am trying to flash new radio now...
Download CPU spy to see if you are getting deep sleep and see what the CPU is doing. Report back your findings.
Also check what's using the battery the most.

Try doing a complete wipe and flashing the ROM again.
I remember I had this issue with Neutrinos ROM and doing the above method fixed everything.
you can try to wipe battery stats in recovery
I've just instalalled neutrino on my device twice. I forgot to wipe the user data and was having similar issues. Now its back to normal for me.
I'm running the latest Nottachtrix and my battery life is awful too. I've flashed this a few different times with the same result, wiping the cache, dalvik cache, and, and user data, and I've tried many different kernels, all with the same result. I have not tried wiping battery stats yet, but I'll give it a shot. I think it might be a problem with the stock Atrix 2.3.6 rom in general and not what Nottach has done. I know other people have reported this in the Nottachtrix forum too.

which radio are you using?
i also got awful battery life on nottachtrix but i did change the radio to N_01.77.30P, due to some latin american users reports (i'm from chile) that this was the best radio for battery life and indeed i did notice a lot of difference. with 3 google accounts syncronized, wifi sleep policy to never off, whatsapp, viber and almost 90 apps, i get a day and a half of juice from heavy ussage and easily get 3-4 days of moderate use.
so, my recomendation is that you test some radios, it does make a difference. i'm currently on nottachtrix 1.3.1 with faux kernel to 1ghz.

Hi everyone.
I'm new here, also I'm not so good at english, but I'll try to explain my problem:
Recently I installed CM7.2 on my SK17i, and everything on the flashing process was fine, until I checked out the battery.
When I used the stock GB or ICS rom from Sony, the battery of my phone last about 1 day and a half o 2 days. Now with CM7 the battery last 1 day, or maybe less.
In battery use, cell standby and Phone idle have 50 and 50%
I think is the baseband, because I tried some of the tips or solutions mentioned here in XDA but none of them worked.
What can it be the problem?
Thanks!
