so finally after waiting for around one month, the ICS upgrade for my SI number was finally released yesterday. i installed it yesterday but it was lagging a lot in the beginning, but it got much smoother after letting all the apps load in the background (which is quite normal). But still the lagging was there, and i also noticed that the battery drain was pretty quick, it went dead from 20% while i was sleeping (around 9 hours)
today i formatted the SD card, and did a repair with the PCC. and guess what, its running perfectly.
i particularly like the option to Disable the apps, which i wont be using at all, like Chinese Keyboard, EA Games shortcut and similar stuff.
i am still to check the battery performance after the repair, will update in this thread. but so far so good.
SO, if your ICS is NOT running smoothly and lagging here & there, repair the phone from PC companion and format the SD card.
feel free to share your experience as well
Games do not work well. I reverted to GB due to battery and other damn issues.

well as i said, first format the SD card, thru the phone. and then connect your phone to Sony PCC, and select Repair phone option (when it fails to search for an upgrade to current firmware)
basically its even better than factory reset, because here the phone's firmware is being re-installed.
but you will have to go thru all the customizations that you did earlier, plus you'll lose all messages, contacts, pictures and apps, so back them all up if you need

Hey everyone,
After flashing via flashtool the global 2.3.4 i noticed that the battery was draining way faster than normal. I should mention that i didn't wipe user data before the flash.
From what it seemed, "Android System" took up around 65% of the battery overnight without letting the phone go to sleep mode, losing 90% percent of battery in 8 hours.
My original setup was the stock rom and the doomlord v9. kernel. While trying to fix the issue n make the phone be able to go back to sleep i wiped user data n flashed the stock rom n kernel again with/without root, the SE tweaked v.5 rom, etc n the issue didn't seem to get fixed.
If anyone has any ideas on fixing that, or if it's safe to downgrade to 2.3.3 please share.
~The only thing running was a messenger app which usually uses 2-4% n my battery drain was around 3-5% overall with no use on 2.3.3 with the same setup.
(I'd post screenshots but the forum isn't letting me post outside links yet)

yeah, i noticed the same thing last night too. wifi causes a wakelock for some reason which didn't ever happen on 2.3.3.
I even relocked the bootloader n upgraded to 2.3.4 via PCCompanion just to be sure i'm not doing anything wrong with the flashing and roms but doesn't seem to be fixed in any way..
Thanks for the info!

I just checked on pc companion and it's not available for me yet in the UK with 2.3.4 global.
It's not available for me here in Greece either.
I've done some reading around at forums n see what other people have been experiencing, n i somewhere read that in one case the issue was the SD Card (which is weird) and in another it was the automatic time setting via internet. I'm doing some tests right now trying different combinations, but from what i see the phone did go to sleep with Wifi on after i turned off the auto time setting.. Nothing's for sure yet though.
Interesting. I've make ftf file with LT15 loader and uploading now.
Tonight I'll try and share it.
Well, i'm confused. My phone seems to be back to normal for now. I put the SD back and enabled internet time, restored most of my apps to see if the wakelock would happen again but it's still working properly. Which means i don't have a conclusion of some sort.
~Update: Sim Card doesn't seem to be recognized now for some weird reason..
~Update 2: Backup & Restore was the issue here, after i deleted it n rebooted the phone SIM is working fine.

the only think i found is that it doesn't stay awake with all routers, it only happends if the router is WPA2 locked and it is "n" standard, the phone will do no problem if it is connected to a open b&g network.

You can either flash the doomkernel v9 that roots the phone by itself, or boot your phone into recovery mode and install the RootXperia if you prefer stock settings
Use Juice defender, you can allways gain some battery time.

Hi all! I'm an italian guy
I bought my Atrix a month ago in a bundle with the lapdock and the hd dock
Yesterday it suddenly gots this problem and now it seems to running very slow without an apparent reason
Some applications and games are running normally but download from the Play store is almost impossible and I have to wait some seconds when I unlock the screen or when I open some apps
Also the boot is slower then before
I've done a complete wipe but nothing changed
Then I tried to run Antutu test and I was surprised... ram, cpu and graphic scores are normal but the Database IO results is only 5!! Also the writing/reading speed is very slow
What can I do? Could it be an hardware issue? I don't want to return the phone again (I returned the first one because of the "bad update" brick...
Many thanks!!!

Maybe a bad sdcard or you may need to run a ram fix since you are international. Ram fix search from a PC should find it for you.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
thank you but i don't think the problem is the ram or the sd card
the "system info" apps show the normal amount of ram and the performance seem normal from the antutu test...
and the problem is the same with or without an sd card in the phone
no one has an idea?
when i opened the post my phone was stock locked but rooted on 2.3.4
now i unlocked the bootloader and i'm running the topogigi 1.1 rom but the situation is still the same...
is there any app for the phone or the pc to test the atrix and find hardware issues?
thanks again!
had similar issue. ran the zip. runs like a charm.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1131649
pdsfix.zip
my antutu scores are back up to around 7000. less lag in app drawer and opening /closing certain app. its back to silky smooth yeehaw.
i ran pds fix but nothing changed... still very slow on boot, still "lag" when i unlock the phone, still impossible to download anything from the market/play store and slow when opening apps etc... do i have to start study how to return the phone locked and stock and return it?

Having a similar issue. 2.3.4 and my write speeds are .5MB/s and my read speeds are like 21MB/s. My free space is 4GB+ and i have no external SD. This just happened a few months ago, I thought it was normal until I tested my write speed and found it to be atrocious. I've tried changing schedulers with no change. Market updates take FOREVER and freeze my ENTIRE phone for about 20seconds to 1minute depending on the size of the update. My normal apps freeze when opening and/or saving. Any ideas??
Motorola Atrix MB860 2.3.4
Update: Tried PDSFIX, no change.
I've done a bunch of research and a lot of other users with newer phones are having this issue too:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37258
I still haven't found a solution. I can't use mount -o remount,discard as discard is not an option with mount on Android 2.3.4, apparently. Any ideas? Or should I just throw my phone out the window? :crying:
Some people say it's due to no TRIM being activated. I found a fstrim for linux but it's a .c source and I'm unsure how to compile without downloading an app from the market for $3! I'm not sure why randomly it decided to kill my write speed. I've even tried an app to fill up free space and delete it, but nothing is working.

I understand that it's for a newer version of android. All my searching has lead me nowhere with my problem of insanely low write speed :|
SEQ RD: 16.65MB/s
SEQ WR: 0.36MB/s
RND RD: 1123 IOPS
RND WR: 33 IOPS
Buffer: No
Kind of saddening. I should maybe just buy a new phone... Motorola seems to have given up on it, as seems to be the norm after a year. I don't really like everything being designed to break in a few years but whatever, good revenue stream for them :silly:
Like the title says:
I use the stock rom and after the Update on ICS i noticed my phone is getting really hot even when im not using it. I tried using advanced task killer to close app running in the background and i also close every app i use in ics multitasking... its draining battery very fast! 40 % in 30 minutes. Its not warm the whole time just sometimes it gets warm and drains battery... dont know what to do :/

Taskiller self can take very much battery and make phone hoter. I really dont see + for using them. You need just check battery menu which app take so much battery and then we can help you more.

Taskkiller itself is not running in background. i use it sometimes to look which app are running in background and to kill the ones i dont need. The problem is the battery status is looking normal. Display 33% phone 19% and some other apps do also drain battery.... but the problem is its only getting warm when i dont use it. sometimes when its laying on my desk i pick it up and notice this. when i look at my battery then its sometimes 20% less then 10 minutes before when i checked facebook for example. for me this must be something with the firmware or not? or some hardware defect?
maybe take it to a mobile service
Did you make wipe after ICS update? Maybe its a bad configuration after the update.
Also, you can try CPU Spy in Google Play and tell us if phone is on state "deep sleep" (when you lock the phone, it should enter this state where battery drain is minimal).
Make screenshot of Battery Usage screen and post it here.
Then install BetterBatteryStats, use it for few days, then make screenshots(Partial Wakelocks, Alarms and Processes) and post these here.
I have the same problem, but I know it comes from the Exchange service. Sometime it becomes crazy and drain the battery + heat the phone.
For now, I just have disabled my Exchange account... Not really a good solution.
I have found others thread talking about this problem on other phones (all with ICS), but found no answer.
I did not made any wipe, nor before, nor after the update (from stock GB to stock ICS).
It's not very helping, I fear...
just a few senteces about my day:
The battery was loading untill 7:15 today then i went to school; my phone in silence mode and i used it for 4-5 whatsapp messeges and maybe 3 facebook checks and 1 or 2 instagram checks.
it got hot a few times again and its on 34% now. really bad i would say. on gingerbread i had like 60-80% after a half day in school with much more use.
Now i looked what drained Battery. in ics i cant take screenshot so i just write it down:
40% Facebook Calendar Sync
19% Display
10% Phone
8% STandby
6% WLAN
5% Android Core Apps
4% Facebook
4% Android OS
2% Android System
This is the first time i look at the battery drain seeing that Calendar Sync is taking so much Battery. I still believe it could be something else because before it was nearly the same without calendar sync and display on first place.
So for now i think im going for a wipe, hoping it will be better then.
i will share my experience with you asap. :good:
woah, 40% on that FB crap?
also, the system standby usage seems a bit large also.
try to wipe it, maybe flash some other ROM and see if it helped you.
a healthy battery usage would have display at 70% or so, phonecalls 15%, then all the rest.
depends on your usage tho.
but something is definetly wrong with your phone.
you said that the problem occured after you updated it,
so i think the hardware is out of the question (if the phone worked normal before the update), i'd definetly flash something there, the stock rom is useless anyways..
there are very good roms even if you have locked BL, check kamarush and the new CyanogenTimescape rom also.
keep us updated about ur problem
Cheers!

you must root first, then copy the rom to SD, reboot in CWM, and install from there. it's pretty straightforward from there on just make sure you select "locked bootloader" when prompted.
After the update from gb to ics I didn't notice a much higher battery drain. I use it like on gb and on my feelings battery lifetime stays equal to gb. I have got an unlocked bootloader but still on stock rom using rage kernel ics 3.2.

Soooo. I looke up what have drained my battery and it seems that the Xperia Facebook sync (The stock sync thats buildin in the normal firmware) have drained the battery. on GB everything worked fine. Now i deactivated the sync and the battery life is much better. It seems that my phone also stopped getting hot. But for me GB still had a better battery life. Today i woke up at 7 am (germany) and played Football Manager a few times between the lessons and in a free lesson so im at 16% battery now (should be ok because the football manager drains a lot of battery) and battery usage shows:
64% display
16% FMH 2012 (football manager)
7% Android System
5% Mobilfunk-Standby
4% Facebook
etc etc etc.
looks normal for me :good:
guys my battery life is fine now but i have freezes now... if i use my phone for whatsapp it sometimes just completely freezes. no chance to see a reaktion for any button any ideas wtf is going on there?
Battery drain that you've encountered is definitely not normal. I get about 3 days on ICS, and think that is what you should be getting as well. Crappy FB application is either bugged or broken, because you're not the first one that got their battery drained by FB calendar sync. My advice would be to remove FB calendar sync service, or disable it somehow, if you're not using it.

On the xmp with ics you have xperia facebook. its a facebook calendar, contacts etc sync by sony. This was the app draining my battery. i disabled it and now i have like 1 1/2 day battery with normal usage.
And for my problem with the freezes. i removed all bloatware i could but my phone is not rooted. i was thinking about rooting but i'm kinda new to the xmp roms and its hard to find ics ones that are working perfectly. before i had an lg p990 and i was using cm7.2. it was working like a charm.
i know how to root the xmp i saw some tutorials but im still not convinced

Hello guys,
I have battery problem and don't know what to do anymore and need help from the ones who can really help and have ideas..
I had SGS2 and I bought two month ago SGS3 and my battery was abs superb untill I installed LH1 android 4.0.4 from that point
everything is going worser and worser..I were thinking if I put dli1 and JB everything is going to be a lot better but problems are even bigger now.
In 2h normal using of phone,battery drains around 30% (normal using 10 pages of surfing,checking emails and that's it)
I know from the sgs2 days how to lower down battery but nothing is helping in sgs3 case..
- Things I have to mentioned is that when I installed new dli1 I did install new firmaware jb and did factory reset, dalvik , cache, wipe
- I have only 10 installed apps
- I don't have running apps on behind,dont user gps, not using sync at all , shutting down my wifi all the time,same for gprs,
I edited wifi settings etc etc etc
- Used watchdog to monitor the aps nothing crucial...
- (Can't do copy paste on DLI1) so battery is really minimal using apps but screen is on 56% (brightness is 100%)
- Have additional battery and there was same problem with android 4.0.4 (didnt test with JB,will do)
- I tried to empty the battery to the zero but nothin...
Few people from Faraby post are also complaining about same thing with battery but most of them said they have only problem with DLI1
not before ..
Only thing which is crossing my mind to try to reset everything and tried with today's leak and hope ...
If someone has ideas I would be (bow)
Leak as in not a Samsung release binned test firmware .
Replace with clean stock ICS and test .

- I don't have running apps on behind,dont user gps, not using sync at all , shutting down my wifi all the time,same for gprs,
I edited wifi settings etc etc etc
- Used watchdog to monitor the aps nothing crucial...
- (Can't do copy paste on DLI1) so battery is really minimal using apps but screen is on 56% (brightness is 100%)
- Have additional battery and there was same problem with android 4.0.4 (didnt test with JB,will do)
- I tried to empty the battery to the zero but nothin...
Few people from Faraby post are also complaining about same thing with battery but most of them said they have only problem with DLI1
not before ..
Only thing which is crossing my mind to try to reset everything and tried with today's leak and hope ...
If someone has ideas I would be (bow)

Bro relax,XXDLI is just for testing and it's not stable in terms of battery life,some users reported good things about this build but it's STILL FOR TESTING.
Did you try wiping your S3 With factory reset and flashing another stock Rom from recovery?

Hey Nhariamine I know its test version still but why only few of us having these kind of problems that is what keeps me worried and if you can read from above my problems started when LH1 OTA was installed...
I flashed now DLI2 and we will see how this will go.. so far 7% in 40 min i did wipe,factory reset, dalvik, cache etc..
Didnt tried to flash another stock rom prolly I will wait official JB or go to 4.0.4 and see ...
I am more trying to find some logical things what could be and if anybody solved that problem..
Thank you

Hey friends i recently updated my s3 to jelly bean via kies,after the update my battery life has reduced drastically plus my RAM usage is always high, sometmes dialer,messaging window closes and recently it got restarted also dur to excess usage of ram,kindly suggest because there was no such problems wen fone was running on ICS.

Factory reset fixes most of the issues after the update. Try that.

well this is my story, sry I am of no help to you but at least I figured out the options I am left with.
I got my s3 on 11th Nov and since then I am experiencing horrible ram usage.after few hours the ram crosses 750MB goes upto 800MB and phone slows down horribly also causing the apps in the memory to restart(finally after few hours the phone restarts and back to normal memory state for few hours then again the cycle begins). this problem was prevalent on stock ICS and also after the JB update. 4 online complaints and 2 visits to the service center, yet unsolved. the first visit to the service center their tech guy tells me "You are supposed to keep on clearing the RAM". even after explaining everything in detail. he gives me that crap. eventually after convincing him, he consults with others and says if the firmware isn't loaded properly that shyt tends to happen. but yet nothing is solved, even after second visit, when he again did the same thing, rolled back to stock firmware and gave it to me.
Firmware Updates and rolling back didn't solve anything for me. It is most likely a software issue only, well though am not sure, I am planning on loading a custom ROM or a stock firmware of different region. at least that will help me identify the root cause.

I would suggest that you try sotmax rom. Its nore or less stock with a few mods that are optional. Please feel free to ask if you need more info. Great battery life and stability.
