Solution to battery life issues (works 100%, guaranteed)

I love this phone and have posted this on several forums already. I want everyone to enjoy it as much as I do.
I switched from an IPhone 4 to the Atrix and I am really impressed by the device. HOWEVER, I was very close to return the phone due to poor battery life (in comparison the IPhone 4). The max I got out of the device was 14-16 hrs and the strange thing was that it did not make ANY difference whether I hardly used the phone at all or played around most of the time. Over the weekend I checked and after unplugging the phone from the charger and leaving it on the desk the battery was down to 70%.
By the end of the day on my IPhone I used to have about 30% battery left with all radios (3g, bluetooth, wifi, GPS) on and moderate use. With similar use and GPS off the Atrix hardly made it through the day. I read several suggestions and wanted to share how I increased battery life by almost 100%!! Like mentioned earlier I was puzzled that even in idle status there was a 10-15% drain. The only logic explanation was that there are services that continue in the background and drain the battery.
1. I think the absolute biggest battery drain is to enable wifi triangulation for location services. The fact that the pop-up window states "...Collection will occur even when no applications are running." should have made my suspicious. I have noticed that enabling the GPS does not have any significant effect on battery life as long as you do not have any applications open that use that radio (like maps). Obviously I disable the wifi option in location services.
2. Root your phone and download Titanium Backup PRO. Disable all Motoblur services. I do not use any Motoblur widget/services (no facebook, twitter and so on) and am happy with the native gmail client. I literally froze allmost all of the motoblur services as well as other services that may use data services in the background (news, weather services).
Following link gives a good overviw which services can be disabled without any problems:
Death-Force • Thema anzeigen - [TIP][Tutorial] Freeze Motoblur for more Performance and RAM
3. I haven't really found it helpful to use setcpu. Whats the point of having a ferrari and driving it at 30 mph?
Since making those changes I have seen a significant increase in battery life. Using the gmail client, bluetooth+GPS+wifi+3g on, screen set to auto-brightness and mdoerate use throughout the day I make it easily throughout the day with the battery indicator showing in general 30-40%. I think step 1 made the biggest difference. Again, this phone is just amazing and I do not miss my IPhone at all!

No way!?!?

Because you don't want your Ferrari to use up gas while you're not driving it?
With SetCPU, you can set a profile for it to throttle down several hundred mhz whenever the display turns off. I find that even background services like Pandora can run perfectly fine even when that dualcore "ferrari" of a machine has the display off at half the ghz.
Using setCPU alone, I feel like me battery life doubled. I recently froze motoblur in its tracks and only provided minimal increase compared to just underclocking it.

my trolling = quotes and screen shots of Dumb and Dumber.

its amazing how experiences vary from user to user. i had installed setcpu the 2nd day that i had the atrix and didnt really notice a big improvement (with it properly set up to save battery). i froze the blur settings and the weather widgets and can easily get through a heavy days usage. i find the atrix is at least as good, if not better when it comes to battery life.
i leave the wifi and cellular location option on and my battery life is great. i dont have widgets or apps running in the background that need my location and i even say no when google asks for permission to use my location for better search results. disabling this feature would make a big difference for people that use location aware apps often but i find it takes far too long to get a good gps lock when using maps if this feature is off.
as long as you are happy with your battery life, thats all that matters

Never used setCpu on my phone. battery lasts for awhileeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

setcpu is not necessary the cpu automatically throttles down when not in use, the phone doesnt run at 1ghz all time...
ive noticed with the atrix you need to turn off gps when you are not using it or it will still be on even when no apps are using it. my captivate used to turn off gps when i exited an app that was using it. im not sure if this is the case with wifi too.

After playing a long time with phone I found synchronized apps like talk, gmail, take up most of the battery.

EE03 Bugs

I haven't seen any other threads about the bugs found with EE03. So I will begin tracking via this thread.
Battery usage screen is reporting incorrectly. Does not show correct value for display and shows a very high value for android.settings
Capacitive buttons are not behaving correctly. Seeing different things, some see them not being light up, some see screen goes full brightness when they fade out. Temporary fix is to tie the keyboard timeout under display settings to match display timeout.
3G issues, when turning off wifi, 3G does not always turn on and sometimes need airplane mode to be toggled. Others have reported issues with 3G not turning on at all until a full reboot.
Random screen issues, occasionally flashes full brightness and/or flashes black.
4G issues waking up from sleep mode.
Overall laginess and slow display response
GPS issues continue. If the gps works seems more responsive but many still have issues

Actually it is possible. Just think about what you where doing in that 10 minutes? Alot of **** dling in the back ground?
Typed from a man on his phone while flying a plane heading towards the samsuck corprate office.

I flash ROMs themes etc atleast every week or so.... I'm not a epic and/or android newb. Trust me this is not normal. I have looked at this screen many times and display should be at the top if the phone is being used a decent amount. So, how about after 30 minutes of me leaving the phone on my desk screen on directly after a reboot? Should still be this? It's bugged at least for the display portion. I mostly made this thread as a way to track EE03 bugs, but this has to be the first time I have ever seen people jump so fast to defend things as not a bug.

My display is also at 3%. Very well might be a bug. Not an important one at all though.

Was just about to report that. I noticed the same. In addition the timeout can not be changed with the tying the keyboard timeout to the display.

Try tying the keyboard timeout to the screen, that mostly fixes it.

Thank you for creating this thread. Didn't want to sort through 80 pages of thanks, praise and relief over in DEV to see what known bugs I will be looking forward to when I try this.
Do you BONSAI?

Yeah, the capacitive buttons are wonky in this release. Even with my usual setting of tying keyboard light to screen timeout, it seems the capacitive buttons just turn off randomly at times.
Other bugs I've had with EE03: touch screen less responsive (seen a few others reporting this) and even worse 3G than I was already suffering from. These along with broken GPS were complete deal killers for me so I Odin'd back to EC05.

I notice all my apps are using over 30mb+ each when it's usually 5-15mb ..memory leak or something ?

my home screen partially blacks out at seemingly random times. pull down the notifications, turn the phone so it auto-rotates then push the notifications back up. does this happen for anyone else?

When switching into Airplane mode and then back you lose 3g. If you resart while in airplane mode you will still not have 3g connectivity.
Fix seems to be toggling airplane mode off and then restarting, it restored connectivity for me at least.

Does seem iffy. I tested and airplane mode fixed mine however when I turned off wifi 3G remained off until I toggled airplan mode. If I was guessing, i would say modem issue.

For transformers that dont deep sleep

For those of you that have a transformer that wont deep sleep whether its on or off the dock, doesnt matter you can get a app for that. its called Auto Airplane Mode, and it puts your transformer in airplane mode each and every time you turn the screen off, i have noticed a huge difference in battery life after installing this app. using Cpuspy my transformer went into deep sleep for 10 mins max a night for the last week. installed Auto Airplane Mode and the transformer goes into deep sleep within a min of turning screen off now. I already had the wifi set to turn off when screen is off and everything, the only thing i did was add this app.
app link https://market.android.com/details?id=com.blogspot.donkun3.autoairplane

nice find, works great. Best part is that it turns airplane mode off when i turn the screen back on.

yep i have noticed so far my battery life has almost doubled since installing the app, just nee dto make sur eyou get the correct one, one is automatic the other is you set the time, you want the automatic one. it says it in the description. But this app is great.

Ive also been using this app for the last few days. It works as advertised and defnitely increases battery life.

is it the one made by be1ay ?

I dont get this app, do you basiclly use only for the night? as there's no option to use every time the tablet goes to sleep, just set a time area...
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk

Wow, this is a great app, I'm trying it on my phone as well. Thanks for posting this! Oh, you want the one from DON. That's the one that's automatic

This is indeed a very great app, really useful. I think there are 2 apps with the same name, one with a timee schedule and another one which kicks in when the screen is locked.
The auto lock one: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.blogspot.donkun3.autoairplane

sorry bout not posting which one but the one that patrick posted is the correct one, its automatic you dont really need to do anything at all.

Thanks for the app notice. It works really great, after the last update my tablet wont go to deepsleep while it's docked but with this app it works fine again

No, it's the one made by DON. His version runs automatically when pushing the power button.

im going on 48 hours of use with no charge, i have 12% left on dock and 98% on tab, i have watched about 3 hours of netflix and about 6 hours of on off web browsing. Before app i would have definatly had to charge already.

i've installed it last night and this morning after i woke up i lost 7% from the dock battery, cpuspy shows it's been in deepsleep for 9 hours so to my knowledge it's working fine.

btw: I think time for charging the TF (no dock) hast improved as well using this app - when it's in sleep mode

I never had a problem with the tf sleeping did a couple of times but a reset fixed it
I thought i would try this app my average for a night was 65-70 % deep sleep i now get 85-90% deep sleep thanks for sharing this post

Uhhh at wifi and networks there is a section called wifi disconect policy. You can set it to disconnect wifi when your screen powers off. No need to install any apps

tested auto airplane and i'm not sure it worked, put the table to sleep and docked, after 16 hours the keyboard/dock lost 60%, 60% while asleep that can't be right, my netbook lost nothing

[Q] About WP7.5

Hi guys, just a quick question.
Which Windows phone 7.5 mango rom is best on battery life?
I'm currently using Pdaimatejams V8 VERSION of his wp7.5 rom, and the battery life on that is terrible. 8:30am to 1pm and battery is dead .
Advice on this would be nice as these roms are huge and take ages to download, so manually checking one by one would take years.
Regards,

Not as simple as that mate, they are all more or less the same ROM.
you have the defunct BTTF line which was complicated but by far the best overall ROM with the least problems
then you have Ultrafruit Clones
the really killer on battery life comes from the radio your using and any live tiles, also BT and Wifi can kill it pretty quick too.
in short try the 2.12 hardware radio ROM and the 51t software radio, the hardware radio can be flashed whenever but the software must be installed when you flash the initial ROM.
With those you can also try the camera trick, which is tap the camera button, put it in to video mode, let it auto focus then tap the home button.
its thought that for some reason the camera doesn't stop focusing or something like that unless you do the above, loading up the camera again will mean you need to reapply the fix
anyhow, so make sure you have no background tiles killing you, your running those radios, and you have done the camera trick, all with BT and wifi off as much as possible, and it will last a day with heavy use.

Right thanks for the tips! I had 4 live tiles, moved them.
Although i'm not quite sure what you meant by the camera trick?
Say i've done a fresh boot of the phone and not opened the camera app since, will that affect the battery life?
What's the camera trick meant to do exactly and how does it increase battery life?
Thanks for your response though!

well you need to remember that this phone was only a test phone for WP7, it never had proper drivers made for it, hence some of the issues.
if you have the 51T soft radio then you can do the "camera trick"
I don't think there is any real answer (feel free to correct me folks!) to this other than guessing but I think it goes along the lines of, the camera even when off or not even ran that session can continue to focus, which eats up the battery, its like leaving the camera on. by opening the camera, then turning to video mode, then let it focus and finally tapping the home button, it seems to dramatically reduce the discharge rate, in some cases to as low as 2-5mA
Now to be honest that sounds very low, but I guess if you turn everything off and live in a good signal strength area you may get that., ive not had it lower than 10mA, before the trick it could use anything from 30mA - 80mA for some reason it can jump up to 300mA, this is all in standby mode, putting the screen on with it set to high will zap your battery, the backlight settings are next to useless as well so its worth turning off the backlight if you can. I think the choices are, Burn your eyeballs out, wheres my sunglasses and finally Off, auto doesn't work.

battery life is subjective...it depends on the types of apps you have installed, their use of wireless services, your personal usage habits, etc.

Yea we already established that, but what is not clear is why it can go on a melt down and drain the battery very quickly for no apparent reason one day to the next. My theory on that is that ita not fully charged. IE. its half full but reporting full, thus it may appear to drain twice as fast

what day to day melt down? he only described one day's battery life of 6 hrs of use. 6hrs is not a meltdown.
it's an issue with the rom. if you READ the v8 rom thread, the v8 rom has lots of power issues. i've read many posts complaining about the poor battery life.

I see you've not change in the months since our last encounter.
Im running the V8 as I have been running just about all his updates and there are many, as well as HD2s, xbmods and even the Ultrafruit original that this comes from, the issues are the same on all of them. But If you care to read and follow all the information available in here you will see that its quite common for the HD2 running WP to draw ~300mA in standby, that its a huge amount of power to draw when its off and would empty the battery in 4 hours, without even using it.
when it comes to battery life, nothing is clear, however we do know that it doesn't always charge the battery fully, we do know that it can incorrectly report the available charge, we do know what despite devices using identical ROMs some folk can get <7mA in standby, others get >300mA in standby.
In short its a mess.
If you have an external charger and spare battery use it, it will help with half the problem, high current usage can be down to several things and probably many more that we do not know about, all things being well, if you use your phone a lot, use an external charger, make sure you have good radios for your area installed including the 51T soft radio an then do the camera trick, you may get a working day out of it without issue.
Thats with a lot of usage, making calls, BT, excel, music, 2 email accounts set to push etc

S6 Edge+ Overheating? (And battery issue)

Hi, on my s6 edge+ the temperature stated by HW Monitor says 55C (131F) , and sometimes rises to 70C (158F) then drops back to 55C (131F) or 45C (113F). I got it from Dubai and I am using it in the UK. It is the G928C model. Is this normal/is anyone else having this issue? Should I try factory resetting it and erasing all data?
Also the second problem is that I feel the battery runs out quick! Does anyone else feel like this? It only lasts about 14-15 hours from full 100% charge to empty battery. And I'm only using apps such as youtube, instagram, messenger, facebook.

Never had heating issues even after intensive gaming. However, if you're using apps like youtube or gaming during charging, I'm sure the temperature would considerably go up . Also, apps like YouTube, Instagram and Facebook are actually pretty heavy. They stream a lot of data over the network and would definitely affect your battery life.
Try turning on the Power Saving mode, I'm sure that would help a lot. In my phone (AT&T), I get 6 hours of screen on time and upto 24 hrs of usage (withing 6 hrs screen on) very easily even with wifi & data turned ON all the time.

Hi, sometimes the phone is a bit unresponsive as well. For example, when turning it on after locking it, there is a long delay and then when i click the lock button again the screen flashes because the lock button has been clicked twice (wake then lock)

This is the time when you should rush back to your retailer and get it exchanged!
"Edge+ and lag associated together" isn't something I have seen on my handset yet, no matter what application I have used even with the Battery Saving mode turned on.

I can't exactly do that. I got it from Dubai. The lag isn't when using the phone. It was just unlocking it but it seems fine now.

Good if its fine now. Otherwise, you can always try a factory reset. I hope it works fine... :good:

You've asked the same question on 4 different threads and you've been told that it's normal. Senselessly repeating yourself isn't going to give you a different answer.
