hey guys simple question, I flashed eclipse ROM v2.1 and I love it so far except one thing, the battery life sux, I mean when I was stock 2.3.4 rooted I froze a bunch of apps and my battery life was pretty impressive. So I can only relate this to that eclipse is performance based and needs a little more battery? So basically is their a method to getting more battery life or am I stuck.

Have you added any modifications since you flashed Eclipse? Have you added a significant amount of widgets or apps that run in the background? How has your brightness level and usage of device been (more or less than before?)
A majority of the people (myself included) feel that eclipse is great on battery. I use my phone constantly with the brightness on full and the second core script and the battery life is totally fine.

Did you calibrate battery? Also battery life for what, stand-by or usage? Stand-by I can get 2 says easily with just texting and calls. A normal usage, maybe 5 - 6 hours and I can even kill it in less then an hour If need be.

My battery life was a little less with Eclipse than on stock, too. CM7 batter life is even worse but still very acceptable. On stock I would easily get 2 days and some change. With Eclipse I'd get a little over a day, and CM7 a little less. What makes me wonder if being on a better ROM makes us use our phones more because it works so much better vs. stock. I can't stand my phone on stock so I usually don't mess with it.
No my friend everything has been pretty much left alone. I use the performance monitor for shutting down background apps, and have even froze the social media apps(twitter, fb,Skype). Huh

Give the calibration a try and see if there was a mismatch between readings. Maybe something is running harder than usual.

I would be more apt to say the drain was the norm high drain that the first couple days after flashing any ROM sees, yhe "recal" just wipes the stats of the battery doesn't change the amount of power you have or use
from my X2 roaming the north
Yea ur probably right about the high drain after flash because it seems the longer I'm on this ROM the better the battery is performing

Hi guys,
Has anyone else been experiencing less than satisfactory battery life upon installing the GB update? This morning after I took my unit off of its charging dock it was fine. An hour later in the office (with no incoming calls or other usage by me) and the damn thing dropped to 80%!! That has never happened before. Is there an add-in or something to counteract this drainage?
HELP.
TIA
The "Soak Testers" have been warned that there is a lot of syncing that goes on the first day of a build, and since these are all totally clean installs, the battery info could be off. Wait a couple days and see what happens.
I had the same issues. I calibrated the battery this morning on a full charge and it is much better.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&feature=search_result
Been on the stock release since Friday & my battery has steadily improved. Im going on 14hrs off the charger with 20% left. This is better than my fascinate on cm7.
Edit: sorry, just saw this was for the prerooted release.

I have actually seen a boost in battery life. While i was on 2.2 I did all that i could to get through 3/4 of a day on a full charge. Now, with similar usage, I have been going to bed with 50% battery remaining.
On the topic of battery life, I have been playing around with Juice Defender Plus. Essentially it turns off my 3G and wifi radios when my screen is off. Does anyone know if that constant turning on and off of the radios uses more battery than if i just leave them on?
I bet I have at least 20 things I froze on titanium backup..
so sad all this **** is on this phone

When i got the X2 I would get the low battery alarm between 4 and 5 pm under moderate use on average. I purchased the BH6X battery, which allowed me to get to the end of the day with 30 - 40 % usually. Since the update, I'm back to gettting the low battery notification by dinner time. I reset my battery stats yesterday, hopefully we'll see an improvement in the next couple days.
Usage: 40% screen, 30% phone idle, 7% cell standby...
I ordered that battery last night, should be interesting

P3 didn't modify how the phone handles battery life, people have this issue on both versions, I read another post that said if there is any remnants of 2.2.2 on the phone it may be causing this, I think that is why they recommend you sbf, factory reset, wipe all caches, then update, if you have the time/ energy try it and let us know how it works.

I'm currently running Kenneth's latest Alien ROM and I get a battery life of about 6 hours. I've tried letting the battery die out , fully charging, then doing a battery wipe. Also tried Jug's fix. All they seem to fix is a battery jump issue but I wish that was all it was. Any other things that might help? I really don't have the money for a new battery.

To the op:
I'm actually not having this problem... Getting great battery life. I get like 8 hours of talk time, 6+ hours of web browsing or days of standby. Have to charge like every other day. Running Alien 3. That's not too helpful I guess, but know that it may be some weird configuration you have.
Read and follow the instructions in this thread guys -

Thanks xploited. I'll give that a shot. the weird thing now is that I get 100% and 4200mV in the battery calibration app. It doesn't make sense. It's apparently fully charged but as of now it's dropped about 10% in about 20 minutes.

Sounds like your battery may just have a problem. Do you know anyone else w/an Atrix that you could swap batteries for like an hour and see if the problem follows the battery?
@epoh The only other person I know that has one lives about 2.5 hours away lol.
It kinda makes me curious if an SBF flash back to 1.83 would fix it. I only had this issue after flashing HKTW on a low battery.

Have you tried AURA 1.1.1 ROM?
I don't know if you even want to give any other ROM a shot, but I have used Alien ROM # 2, too many issues and was not patient enough.
Flashed AURA 1.1.1, after that 2 issues with my battery are fixed, one is the battery life, I usually get around 15 hours from fully charged at 8 AM when I leave for work, so I usually charge just once a day. Second issue with Alien was my phone was overheating like a frying pan.
It just happened with any other ROMs I have tried so far but with AURA maximum temp I have seen on my phone is not more than 38 Degree C. With other ROMS it was just above 38 all the time.
If you don't mind flashing different ROM, try it.
Basically what I do is load into CMW
Wipe Battery Stats
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Wipe Cache
Wipe Data
Install ZIP
Reload Phone and use it for a bit
Process the battery stats wipe cycle twice
Battery is just normal now
Good Luck
It seems to me to be obvious issues with GB right now..which is disappointing because I was expecting it to get better. I went from 16+ hours of usage (with 2-4hrs of onscreen time) to about 8-10. I've went from Orange 2.3.4 to CherriPi now to Alien #3 with both the 1.1 o/c kernel as well as the stock kernel..with no improvements. I did notice a slight improvement when I turned the Social Applications from Push to 60mins..but still am nowhere near where I was with Froyo (yes..I've tried xploited's tips as well). I know its not my apps or configurations because none of that has changes since 2.2..

If you want people to help, you need to be more specific.
What exactly have you tried and what results did you get?
I guess I'll give Aura a shot. KP has some great concepts but I only have the battery issues on his ROM.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Can I ask real quick some questions? First off what do you have running as far as processes, cause for instance if Tune in Radio is left on running in background it KILLS my battery life. If I forget to exit it. Also, did you freeze any bloatware that alien didn't? example. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972459 Also, what kernel are you using? Are you overclocking? Over / undervolting? Just trying to get a better idea of what's up unless I missed it in a previous post. But I think I read em' all.
@phalanx I haven't frozen anything. I'm using the last Alien full build including kernel. The only apps I have installed are facebook, google+, and XDA premium app. The thing that is supposedly killing my battery is phone idle. It's doing slightly better today than it has been. It says it's got about 10 hours so far. But it's still nowhere near the 12-16 I used get.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
did you flash the GB radio as well?
it you're still using the froyo radio that is known to cause terrible battery if paired with GB ROM
Yes I do have the GB radio. I believe it's version. 1.77.15* don't know the whole number.
Edit: I meant to say 1.77.30

I flashed the newest update (2.3.4) this last weekend and although its been great with battery life, I cant seem to get the actual reporting to settle in.
When I take it off the charger its reporting 100%, and throughout
the day it obviously drains the battery. The problem is when I reboot the phone, it starts back up reporting 10-20% higher battery life then when I shut it down. So in reality, I have more battery life left then whats being reported.
I charged to 100% and wiped battery stats using bootstrap. Then drained the battery all the way, and charged all the way back to a full charge.
Can you guys think of anything else that may fix this issue?

I just don't reboot as often now, can't say I've noticed any problems other than that. My battery life has been excellent!

Indeed it will, anything built from the 2.3.4 update will have the bug unless devs find a way to properly fix it.
i hope a fix comes soon but it pry won't be from motorola. i don't see them sending out an update just for one issue unless they have some other issues to fix that i haven't heard about yet. hopefully sooner than later
I have this also, as well as random reboots.
2.3.4 didn't really do much for me, the only real difference I notice were that random reboots now happen every 2 or 3 days instead of every day.
ya that's not good, the update was supposed to stop that. they've been doing these updates and creating the OS for all these devices for so long now id think they would have it pretty much down by now. maybe they need to do more testing before releases...idk...

Depends what sort of battery life you're used to. I came to the RAZR having had a Galaxy S II with 2000mAh extended battery as my daily driver. Was used to heading home at the end of the workday with 50% left - the RAZR has died on me completely before the day's end. Ended up rooting and underclocking to get an acceptable level of performance out of it, your results may vary. Moto included a lot of useless battery-sapping bloat with this phone, most of which is now frozen with Titanium Backup.

well i maybe get a max of about 5 hours on my Razr with the ICS, I cant get the newest update to install on my phone, I've been trying all morning
on ota i had about 2 1/2 days .. thats more than ICS ever had on my phone.
:good:
When I used US Verizon JB, the battery last longer than EU Vodafone's. I would have preferred to use the Vodafone version so I don't have to see the CID error every boot but battery life is more important.
Battery life was awful, phone wouldn't sleep, so I performed factory reset which solved the issue. Now battery life is perhaps even slightly better that it was with ICS, but I lost root.
Worse. MUCH worse.
My wife's fully stock RAZR MAXX ICS used to be around 75% or so after a day of moderate use. After the JB OTA update, she is seeing battery levels around 40% or so, even on days o f light use.
And, we are not alone. I have other friends experiencing the same problem.
Has anyone identified the source of the problem?
It was great in ics but in jb it was improved a lot.
