I have the stock 4.5.9 gingerbread update on my AT&T ATRIX. However I am observing a terrible battery life. There are too many solutions in the forum to follow. Can someone direct me to the appropriate one? I am rooted and unlocked. I used the unlocked 4.5.9 sbf for upgrading from from Froyo to gingerbread 2.3.4

there;s a lot of solutions because poor battery life can be cause by many things, you have to find out what is draining your battery. try calibrating first let it drain until your phone turns off and then if you have cwm install then wipe batterystats and then a full uninterrupted charge
Try setting profiles in SetCPU and freezing apps with TitaniumBackup. Theres a topic for each of these two solutions.
battery stats 6h 3m 29s on battery (now left with 10% of battery)
Display 49%
Phone Idle 22%
Cell standby 6%
Android system 5%
Launcherpro 3%
xda 3%
Android OS 3%
this is just terrible .. i never had such battery life with Froyo. i dont understand what might be the problem. Meanwhile i will try to calibrate my battery.

Calibrate your battery.
Then freeze your bloat.
Problem solved.
dont forget you might also being playing with your phone a lot more trying to see all the new stuff in the update. Thus causing more battery drain.

There are some strange things happening with the battery. I let my battery discharge completely to the point where phone shuts down. Then I plugged in to charger, waited for 2-3 minutes so that I can start the phone. Started the phone and saw 50% battery. Don't know what's going on.
I was told by an admin from another site that most of the battery programs do not work with ova ginbread. You go to settings/about/status and observe the battery. I do no I was also getting flaky results with 2 of the battery programs.

That's a GB bug... there's a battery fix in the development section to flash which deals with the reboot battery jumping. (turn off phone at 50%, turn on phone and it says 70%)
I am having problems with my Atrix too. With my usage, I used to be able to get almost 3 days of battery life. Now it hardly lasts a day. I have checked pretty much all settings (sync, sleep) and all seems fine as far as I'm concerned. So I am having hard time trying to find what is causing this. The only suspect I have right now is wifi. I don't think wifi is sleeping even though I've selected "When screen turns off" in the sleep policy.
After I fully charge the phone, and disconnecting it from the power, the battery suddenly drops to 96-97%, it is normal? I already made a battery calibration past week. Even after I upgraded the phone from XXKG2 to XXKG6, still the same problem here. I bought the phone last month. (by the way, it is rooted and I have on it the 2.3.4 stock)
Post some pictures of the battery usage.
And also some of bestbatterystats.
Try this: After you get the "Fully Charged" notification, try not to take it off charging immediately. Leave it on there for about 10 minutes or so and then take it off of charging, you should see it as 100%. If this does not help. Please post some screenshots of your battery usage screen, we can troubleshoot from there.

This is the stats for the moment dropbox.com/s/4svvwpevod8cmm7/SC20110828-000603.png , I just installed the Battery Monitor Widget, to see whats the deal, for the moment OS and Display is drain my battery, because I have played with the phone for about a 15 minutes, but during the day, OS is always on 10-15-20% and display the same

Tap your finger on graph above and screenshot that.
Did you calibrate your battery, before or after you upgraded to KG6? If you calibrated it before, then you should try calibrating it again.
1. Charge 100% (best way switch your phone off)
2. Run Battery Calibration
3. Drain the battery until it's totally empty.
4. Charge again 100% (best way switch your phone off)
5. Reboot and enjoy

No I did not calibrate it after the upgrade, but when I was on the XXKG2, I calibrated it 3 times

Yes. It's exactly that.
I think maybe batterystats.bin was not removed, I tried to remove it with Battery Calibration app, but I didn't checked if it was or not. Tommorow or on monday I will try to post some stats from Battery Monitor Widget
That does look very much like a non calibrated battery. Try calibrating it as 'Bruaca' mentioned, and you should be getting the correct readings this time around.

I did another calibration, with the device turned off until battery riches 100%, then I turned it on, then I removed the charger, and it was on 100%, I put the charger back, again after 5 minutes I heard the signal, then I went into Root Explorer and deleted the batterystats.bin, and pulled the charger, now I have 100% + 4143mV, it's normal? or should be more mV?
4143mV sounds a little high. Mine is ~3600. Though I'm getting the opposite problem. What might happen is that I'll leave it on overnight and it'll gain 2 or 3 percent of the battery. I started getting problems charging after I installed font changer, which was also weird. Like, it'll take ages to charge to 100%.
Edit: 4143mV sounds about right for a fully charged battery.
Hiya, that problem persists for few months. Before that everything was working fine and my battery could last for even 2 days! And soon, something happened... after that "something" my battery started to last for around 1 day :/
But here's another very annoying and strange thing. I usually turn my phone off. And, next day, when I turn my phone on, it has eated at least 20% of battery -_- So if I had 80% last night, I have 60% in morning. I had 4.1.2, now 4.2.2 android. I have wiped cache/data, resetted dalvik. Nothing changed, that problem still persists. Even if I bought new, additional battery :/
Install betterbatterystats, search on xda for it. It will monitor your wakelocks, read the OP of the thread on how to use it. Then, read in the betterbatterystats thread for solutions to your worst wakelocks.

Idk if it would help me... it still happens, when I have nothing installed on my phone. And, when I fully used my battery to 0% and charged it without turning phone on, it seems that 70% is "FULL battery" for the phone -_-
Tried a new battery? Borrow one from a friends s2 and see if the same thing happens. Could be the battery on the way out.

It was happening to my old, original battery, so I bought new one - still eats 20%.

But does it still only charge to 70%?
I am not sure with my 2nd battery, but gonna try to use it to 0% and charge. That original battery is surely ruined a bit.
Strangely, my phone sees 70% as full on my second battery as well :/
(and I was charging it while phone was off)
Hmm. I would guess hardware. But I know nothing about hardware sorry... @keithross39 any ideas on this one?

If your phone shows weird percentages, you might try to wipe the battery stats with cwm recovery (in the advanced section)..
Have you tried airplane mode at night? My device looses 4% then..
Good luck!
PS: My battery never lasts longer than one day. High usage and display brightness drain my battery mostly. I don't remember when it survived two days..
Try calibrating it, it sounds like a fuel gauge (plus a twist).
It could be your charger as well.
I don't think this is a hardware issue. Keith might tho.
Sent from...this is not even my S2
Airplane doesn't help much, my phone dies after 1 day even when I use it only to write few SMSes only :/ And I heard that wiping battery stats is a myth and doesn't help much. But, I had not that problem for some time, then it happened again and I don't know why.
How should I calibrate it, then?
Let it discharge till it goes off.
Charge it (while off) full.
Take your battery out for 90 sec.
Put it back.
Power on.
You' ve got nothing to lose.

This is not happening for the first time...
Ever since I rooted my device and flashed Android Revolutionary Rom on it, I noticed some weird behavior with my device/battery.
Last night I drained my battery to 6% and I turned it off. This morning I charged my phone with the phone stayed off and when the battery indicator screen lighted up it was showing that 50% juice remains. Since this is not happening for the first time, this time I would like to test on it to see whether there's really this much juice remains. So I turned my phone on and as expected, the battery indicator shows 50++% left. So I play around with it and I noticed the screen flashing terribly after some time. Not long after that the phone hang there and I had to do a hard reset by pulling out the battery. Before that, I can see that the battery is drained to around 20%. I was unable to power it on after pulling out the battery and when I connected my device to the charger, nothing happens (no display, no LED). So I left it there charging and after some time, finally the LED is lighting up (So, I assume that I drained the battery COMPLETELY just now). I can switch on the device afterwards and it shows 6% battery remains. I wonder why is this happening as this only happens when I charge my device with it turning off. Something wrong with the battery? Device? Or I have to do battery calibration?

Let it charge to 100% first before using. Then check how is the battery usage.
There might be an issue with the battery also. If it is swollen then it's time to get a new one.
Try using another battery and see. If it works fine on other battery then your battery needs to change,
The problem could also be in the ROM. Something could have gone wrong during installation even though it may look fine. If this is the case then reflash the ROM with a full wipe. If the problem still remains, return to stock rom and see.
I had the exact same problems, the screen flashes and stutters, network signal is lost and the phone turns off, it is due to uncalibrated battery.
There's a simple fix, download battery calibration from play stor (green android icon with percentage), charge your phone to 100% without using it, then click battery calibr. inside that app, then doscharge it till 0% (do your normal usage as ussual) and then charge it back to 100%
For healthy battery life don't let it drain lower than 10% it's the li-ion physics and always charge it fully, don't charge from 0 to 30-50-60% because the ions in the battery will not have a good flow.
Everything has it's lifespan but if it's configured and used properly it can have a long lifespan
Also to mention, if my recommendation doesn't work, your battery could be swolen due to inproper charging / heavy oc-ing or your charger is messed up.
Also to say, that flickering occured to me when i flashed a new rom and when i do lot of reboots, then the batterystats freak out, the voltages also and also your phone.
Charhe and use it properly, try to stay with a rom at least a couple of days to see how it'll go.

The battery usage is normal, and its not swollen. I guess I will try to calibrate the battery or reflash the ROM again.

Hi all, I want just to ask you if my battery drain is normal . I am on stock rooted odexed, stock kernel, s off. See the screen I did

Fast Battery Drain
Hi Frenix,
I also have an HTC ONE MAX. It's new and I've the same problem. IT'S NOT NORMAL FOR 3200mA!! See the screen I did, also if I don't use the phone, the battery drain very fast... (the first 7 hours the I didn't use the phone and it was in airplain mode). When I don't use it, the battery goes down very fast but when I use it, the battery works correctly!! This is Crazy!!! I've tried everything like charge cycles, disable all connections, reset the system to factory settings, and reset the statistics of the battery. It is definitely a sowftware problem, because if the battery is under stress, it works correctly! Consumption is given by 50% by phone on standby or idle and if the phone is also TURN COMPLETELY OFF, it drain faster than the phone turn on. I don't really what's the problem, but is not possible that a 3200mA battery drain in 1 day also if you don't use it. Do you report the same problem?

Looks to me like a wakelock issue. Some application is preventing the system from going into sleep mode. I'm working on the same issue.
When working properly, the phone should only ever be awake when the screen is on.
Use GSam Battery Monitor from the Playstore to see what is eating the battery and go from there. Depending on what ROM and if rooted or not, you can more than likely correct the issue.
calibration
i probed of calibrate the batery??
I'm running Nusense my wake lock was caused by Google Now (search). Try disabling it and see what happens. I used an app called wake lock detector.
