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.

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!
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.
Whenever I change the original battery of my Redmi 1s with a Nohon replacement one, with same settings the standby drain goes from 1% every 3hr to 1.5% every 1 hour, thats over 4 times worse standby performance. Looking at battery stats when the Nohon battery is in, the phone is kept awake alot by Android (around 1hr for every 4hr standby). However the battery performs better in actual usage, if I play a game for 30minutes the Nohon loses a bit less percentage. I can replicate the problem over and over again whenever I change the battery back to 3 year old original, stanby drain stops and awake time by Android stops rising.
Its supposed to be one of the best brands for replacement batteries so why is it causing this standby drain issue, is this normal when you change a battery on any android phone and do most people just not notice it?

bump, is it worth buying another replacement battery or is this something that normally happens with replacement batteries?
I got the phone yesterday, I set it up but haven't transferred my sim yet but I've noticed that the battery drain when idle is quite severe. I've only done the OnePlus transfer. And WiFi has always been on. But this battery drain is not got at all.
Can anyone please advise how to improve it. In fact , I had put it on battery saver mode and it still drained. For example at 10% decrease over 7 hours is not good. I expect a 1-2 % decrease overnight.

Try uninstalling OnePlus Switch. You don't need it if you've set up your device already.

This is just how this phone works, and I recommend you to not expect what you experienced before with your previous phone would happen on this phone. I don't know if one can use Greenify's aggressive doze function without rooting, but it definitely improved the battery drain overnight by a lot on my 7T Pro non-5G McLaren.
