Does anyone know why my phone would be dying so quickly? It is 100% sick but when in use, seems to drain by 1% a minute. Also at 1% it says battery time left is 1.5 hours. Thanks!

My brother did the OTA update last night, his phone has never been rooted.
After about 5 hours today his battery has about 20% life left! Battery stats says 74% of the power was used by the display which was on for 40 minutes.
Cell standby is about 4% of battery use and he was without signal for 25% of the time, if I recall correctly.
Anyone else observing something similar?
My battery life on 2.9.2 has been less than desirable and I was considering going back to stock in hopes the battery would be better after the OTA. This is not encouraging.
Also, does he need to go through a couple battery cycles, drain fully then fully charge, before he gets a clear picture of what the battery life would be?
TIA
Yes true battery life will be clearer after a few days of use. The phone learns your usage and gives a better idea of how much charge is left.
best way is to fully charge battery and then wipe battery stats and then drain battery and then charge battery to full one charge. Then use phone normally for s couple of days. Then you will hadn't good sense of what kind of battery life you are getting.

Thanks for the response.
Am I correct that he would need to root to be able to run the battery stats script or is there another way?

I update OTA last week on Verizon to Froyo 2.2. My battery was overheating and draining like crazy from my CPU usage being at a constant 99%..
I found the source of the problem. An app I use for facebook called "FLOW". The CPU usage was cut to 20% when I killed it with "Advanced Task Killer".
I resolved the issue by: Opening Flow.. going to Preferences.. Notification Settings.. Refresh Type.. Checked Periodic Polling (I was using Gmail Experimental previously)
Hope this helps...
I agree, the OTA froyo ED01 is worse for battery life. I get 5-8% per hour idle drain, which is way too high. I've been try to track down the issue with spare parts, system pannel, and battery details. So far I can't see any specific issue.
There are so many hoops to jump through just to get this phone working normally. It's really insanity that we should have to bust our butts on software bugs. And this isn't even mentioning the totally slow choppy ass browser in 2.2. (Vibrant browser on 2.2 SO much better)
Overall my urge to flush this POS down the toilet is growing every day.
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.
Hello,
I've been having an issue with a very inconsistent battery life and was wondering if anyone else had the same issue. Whenever I fully charge my device it has significantly less battery life than it did before the charge. The only thing that seems to fix this is restarting my phone. I don't want to have to restart my phone every single time I charge it. For example, normally on standby mode it would only drain about 2-3% over a 7-8 hr period. However, whenever I fully charge it and don't restart it drains down about 15% in the same time. Help!
So last night my battery drained while my device was charging. I'm not even sure why it would have drained even if there was an issue with power (we had a storm last night) as the phone was at 43% when I plugged it in. 43% usually lasts me a full day at least. Anyone have any ideas what would cause this?
Hello,
how can I make my phone use less battery? It's really annoying when I go out at 8AM with 100% battery and got already 0% at 12AM with just LTE enabled.
