I'll start by saying that the attached pictures say it all folks.
I'm simply at a complete loss as to how my phone can be so awake ALL the time.
If anybody could give me ANY insight as to why it might be the case, I'd REALLY appreciate it.
Also, I can post my alarmdump.txt if anybody wants to see it.
Again, any and ALL help would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to ask me for any more info that might be of use in diagnosing the problem.
That NYC map app seems to be the culprit. As well as the Google Search widget, for some reason.
Uninstall the app, remove the widget, reboot and see if it's much better
Phones with insomnia... now I've seen it all.

lol bro well only about 30 minutes of that time the screen was on and I was doing stuff.
Thanks for the insights so far bros.
I'll say that I actually DO NOT have the google search widget. In fact, the only widgets I have are a watchdog widget and SwitchPro lockscreen button widget.
I'll keep investigating.
Thank you guys for the quick responses.

Well I've frozen the default ADW launcher that CM7 comes with. I'm pretty sure I took off all homescreen icons and widgets before I switched the default to Zeam.
Does anybody know if freezing the Modem Fastdormancy element in Titanium Backup would cause any problems?
Please help me fellas.
I'M DYING HERE.

im also curious about modem fastdormancy... i froze it because it was a wakelock culprit, but am getting really fast battery drain as well. not sure exactly what modem fastdormancy does tho
http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/9cb9c3e94da63110?pli=1
So basically, Modem Fast Dormancy = do not freeze. In my understanding, it has to do with the radio and disabling it when not in use, or something to that affect. I haven't studied it, but that's a quick 10 second synopsis from reading that article. I would stay away from disabling it.

Right on. And thanks for the info.
When I froze ADW I also UNfroze Fastdormancy, and then rebooted, so hopefully that'll help.
What about the wakelocks for Event Log Services?
Does anybody know if there's a way to find out exactly what that is, and if there's anything I can do about it?
Thanks for the input so far guys I REALLY appreciate, and little by little I think things are working out.
You're showing 27 hours there..................many people struggle to get 1/2 of that. I am one of the few who gets 28-30 hrs from full charge with moderate usage. I think it's fair to say you have fairly decent battery life, even with only low usage. I wouldn't complain too much.................just keep trying to make it better!

The thing is, he might have good battery life compared to others but his screen was barely on, he shouldn't be having all those wake locks. I have a similar amount too. If we could get this settled our 1 day battery life might turn into 2 days which would be amazing. I'm sure many people's phones are like this.

Yup bro this is exactly it.
It might be good battery life- but I'm not using my phone at all.
After unfreezing Modem Fastdormancy I've definitely got less unexplained blue in the "awake" time graph. I also froze ADW and that seemed to help.
Thing is, there is still lot of mysterious chunks when my phone is awake.
BetterBatteryStats says Alarm Manager and Event Log services are to blame (top two- represent a substantial percentage of the partial wakelocks and thus time awake).
I'm about to terminal emulator dumpsys my alarmdump.txt, but is there a similar solution for Event Log Services that will allow me to see EXACTLY what's putting it at the top? Only clue it gives is that it's apparently "Google Services."
Past that I've got no clue what it's pointing to.
If I get the Event Log Services fixed, I'd venture to say that would solve a LOT of problems for me.
Thank you guys for everything so far. You laid out some really good and interesting ideas- ones that I definitely wouldn't have thought of.
I'm very, very appreciative, and if it's not too much trouble, bros, KEEP IT COMING!
Ultimately, I want OTHERS to be able to reference this thread in their quest for a better Atrix, and maybe even a better android phone in general!

Quick question bros:

I honestly always had battery issues with cm7 keeping the phone awake. I switched back to Alien ROM an now my battery life is back to normal, around 42hours. I also saw great improvement when I uninstalled Watchdog while I was on cm7 and so thus I have never reinstalled it again.
Well,
Due to this post I checked my Atrix and saw that it wont go to sleep as well, and stay practically always awake. I started using AntTek App manager to freeze some apps that worked all the time (mainly Facebook and an israeli VOD app) and the phone started to go in sleep. I dont know how it will affect the battery life (which is about 16 hours from 100% to ~5%, with data always open), but I will test it for now and report once I have some news...
BTW Im running CM7-Ba2tF, with faux123 enhanced 1.0 Ghz Kernel, and UV.

So I unplugged at 7am this morning, and now 5 hours later, I have 29% left.
I took 1 picture, read about 7 emails.
WTF
Not to be a ****, but you've been here almost 9 months and still dont know that if you're having a problem like this to let us know what ROM youre using and the rest of your setup? That deserves 0 help...
It could be a multitude of things, your autokiller is killing off too much stuff so the apps keep restarting, you're in a bad signal area, bad app, strange sync settings, high background data usage, god only knows what.
What Rom are u using? go back to stockruu!
Check Spare Parts battery usage? Look at partial wake usage
Probably the new Facebook update keeping it awake.

Hmm... the new facebook isnt draining anything for me
make sure you calibrated your battery and also make sure your phone is going to sleep and doesn't have 100% wake time. the hero has much better battery life than the evo.
Okay, my atrix battery isn't too bad but definitely seems like it's not as good as a lot of people's on this forum and I have done EVERYTHING I can think of. The only thing I've been running watchdog and it seems I have no apps misbehaving but there is the "suspend" process that will frequently go over the 20% threshold I set and several times up to 50%, what is this process and could this be the source of my problem? There are also a couple other system processes that go over 20% but rarely, this one just keeps popping up though.
Did a bing, first result http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11126
Yeah I saw that page, every issue I've seen with it has been with the evo with maybe two other phone models, :-/ first issue I've seen on this phone hence me asking if anyone had any other ideas, I figure there has to be a reason I seem to be the only one with the issue on the atrix that I've seen.
I've seen a few people stating they only have the issue with wifi on but I rarely have mine on.

The other ROM I tried was aliens rom btw. Idk, my battery life isn't too bad I guess, getting eight hours as well, just not as much as other people get it seems. Meh, just the watchdog constantly going off bugs me, even rose the threshold to fifty percent and than it's like suspend automatically got even worse lol

Hello! I was wondering why suddenly my Android OS was at 70-90% when it was below 50% when i got the phone in first place. I then started thinking what could cause the drain and then i remembered someone saying that the torch needs a lot of permissions, so i thought that was it, and yes that was causing the drain. So all i wanna say is not to use the torch widget because it apparently likes eating your battery... My battery goes about like 10% in 30min not using the phone at all with the torch widget, but if i remove it from the homescreen, it goes only like 2-5% in a hour. I hope this helps people struggling with battery problems. Please use the thank you button if this helped you.
I have noticed some odd behavior from that widget, such as it becoming unresponsive. Although I did find it handy I am taking it off immediately.
Know of any alternatives to try out?
Yeah i experienced the unresponsiveness too some times. If you want an alternative, you should look for them in the Android market. Theres heaps of them. I cant link any yet because im on my phone. When i get to a computer i will.
EDIT: This is a really good alternative i think https://market.android.com/details?...sMSwxLG51bGwsImNvbS5kZXZ1bmkuZmxhc2hsaWdodCJd

Hmm SanQ, I was thinking about what you said here and tried removing the battery widget and see if it was true. And hey, the battery life does improve! Looks like the widget got some serious problem. So many permission accesses!
Good to see that my tip is working for you guys.
Is the torch widget a stock widget?
Yes it is on KL7 and up i think.

Today I went from 70% battery to 20% in under 3 hours of mostly idle usage after using the widget. The strange thing is that yesterday I used it, too, and I had no adverse effects. So... sooooo strange. Hello new app!
yeah... Mine is about 3 months old.. I got it from technotradinghouse in the US..local in Missouri..

Same here. Mine is only 10 days old (on Vodafone UK, stock 2.3.6, KK9) and I don't have a torch widget.
I'm using one called "Tiny Flashlight + LED" and it's great.
Also, people are saying that with the torch widget removed their battery is only using 2-5% per hour when idle. I don't get it... that's a lot isn't it?
Are custom ROMs really power hungry or something? I'm on the stock ROM and it uses about 0.5% per hour when idle for me.

It seems that the battery drain on my newest N7 (RMA'd first one) is waay worse than on the other, I'll attach some screen shots of what I mean.. it may be just the WiFi is using a lot more than the other's :S I left it 4 hours alone with WiFi and the battery drained 20+ % which even with WiFi on seems excessive does it not? Is it possible I got one with a faulty WiFi radio? I will be testing tomorrow (or maybe tonight) to see battery drain with WiFi turned off to compare, because it also seemed to drain fast when I was just out and about with WiFi off :/ worried I have bad battery, deep sleep isn't working right (it is going into deep sleep or at least thinks it is from looking at cpuspy), or faulty WiFi... or just too early to judge XD has anyone noticed battery improve over time ? I forget if I did was a month ago I got the original
BTW first screen shot was taken pretty much right as I was leaving for work, so you can compare the battery drain there..

I doubt it's a bad wifi radio, its probably an app that is syncing like crazy in the background.
I'm currently watching the MediaServer app use a disproportionate amount of battery (14% and rising). I deleted a number of images which must of kicked in the scanner which must be very inefficient.
I also noticed my N7 become very slow at the same time.
Possibly you downloaded a large amount of images/music/etc before putting your device to sleep...

I really wish I could figure out why maps keeps starting a process.. can you check to see how many instances of maps there are ? In particular one running Prefetcherservice.. as for the other comment, media server is sitting at 6%, android is at 14%, and screen at 67%.. though I did copy a bunch of songs and pictures over after the RMA, is there a way to fix these or should I delete them to see if it gets better ?

Bahaha good one I dunno, the problem is that this is literally my fourth N7 since the other three allll suffered from major screen lifting, so maybe I am looking for something wrong just so i can make sure it's perfect... Though I do think the battery life is pretty weak, I think I may have figured SOMETHING out, the only difference between this and my original is that my original had a huge section of the map of my area downloaded, and since I did that maps hasn't started any additional processes.. so good sign ? maybe ? haha

Yeah this might be a good time to stop looking for trouble and just enjoy the tablet for a while. I drop mine on the charger in the morning and don't ever really think about the battery other than that. Whatever the battery stats say now they won't say in a week and they won't say after you flash to a different ROM. If you have wifi on apps will sync and the tablet will loose it's charge. I'm never far enough away from an outlet to make it much of a concern. So maybe just take a breather, install the Angry Birds and have some fun for a bit. Eventually we'll have ROM's and kernels that make this thing sip electricity but for now I get the few hours a day I need out of it on one charge so I'm set.

You think the battery life will get much better than what it is? My only other android experience is my HTC Desire Z which has a horrible battery as it is so it didn't improve much at all with custom roms
Speaking of improved life through ROMs and kernels, have you noticed any kernel providing particularly better battery life ? I'm on trinity right now, no voltage changing, but underclocked to 1.1 ghz from 1.3
Factory reset, see if the problem continues. That's the only way decide if it's a HW problem.
And my N7 uses effectively 0% battery in standby, it was off the charger yesterday for 6 hours and when I started playing around it was still at 99%. I turn off wifi on screen off, however.

So it seems like partial wakelock is mostly audioout_2 which i assume comes from me playing a game with music amongst other things?
Alarms says com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox has 50 wakeups, and maps has 38 :S why does maps keep trying to kill me?! and what is the googlequicksearchbox doing waking the tablet up...
Wlan_Rx_wake seems to be the culprit of semi bad battery. Is there a way to prevent the tablet from waking up all the time? Maybe just unsync or turn off WiFi instead?

When my battery drain was bad I had something like 250+ wakeups from maps under the alarms section in only a few hours off the charger and Maps was showing up as the most common reason for partial wakelocks.
I think AudioOut_2 is normal - Im not sure what it does though. Im now at 8+ hours of standby with 99% battery. Under alarms im showing 138 Maps wakeups and 76 from google quick search box. My drain is all gone now though so i assume this is within normal range. The better battery stats thread and a few other threads on XDA have detailed descriptions of the different battery draining wakelocks and possible remedies. Not all wakelocks are bad though.
I have no idea what's killing my battery so quickly, and apparently neither does BBS. Any ideas?

Check the carrierIQ thread in general. Forget where the detailed play services one is, but if you use TB to uninstall the system play services and then reinstall it from the play store you get less wakelocks.
I installed CleanROM 1.1 on Sunday. Battery life on Monday was excellent. Monday evening I went ahead and disabled CarrierIQ because of the excessive wakelocks (but it didn't really kill my battery). What I don't understand is that BBS is reporting that my phone was in deep sleep when I wasn't listening to music through my headphones or bluetooth. So I don't really know what to make of it, because it was sitting in my pocket for most of the day at work.
Normally I'd still be at like 85% at least. I was hoping someone could shed some light because BBS is not reporting any excessive wakelocks that could drop my battery almost 50% in a 10 hour period with only a little over 10 minutes on screen time and an hour of music playback.
Android status can also shed light on run away processed. Outs in the play store.

I'm not sure. It seems to vary. And I do have/had all the google settings disabled and greenified the problem apps. It's just I couldn't pinpoint anywhere that 46% drain from yesterday.

Haha, even your "bad" battery day is still pretty good compared to me. I kind of think anything over 10 hours is good.
Right now I'm at 86%, that's 5:51 up, 4:03 deep sleep, 1:48 awake, 0:45 screen on. Which, yes, means my phone has spent over an hour awake without the screen on? Very sad.
One odd thing I notice is that it says I spent 42 minutes with No Data or Unknown Signal. I wonder if that's part of it being Awake? it kept searching?
Other than that I've got 11 minutes of NlpCollectorWakeLock for that 5:51 up.
I'm not complaining, those are still very good numbers. But I feel like lowering that off-screen awake time could take it from very good to great.
Turn off Google Now, toggle Sync off when you don't need it, disable data in areas where you're certain you won't get a signal.
I got 28 hours easy with 12 to go

I like Google Now though
How are you turning off just Google Now so readily?

doesn't do anything for me i can't do for myself.
I get my sports scores using Team Stream by Bleacher report
We have a beautiful stock weather widget
I use the metro to get to work so IDC about traffic/commute times
I don't fly often so I don't need flight details and reminders
and I don't need suggestions of things to do
Gnow is a battery HOG bro, i'm telling you. I wasn't getting through a single workday with it turned on and now I can go 2 days
Edit: oh and I don't use facebook on my phone because it's also a hog with the constant background services and I use Twicca instead of the standard Twitter app

Yeah, you know what I never really thought about it like that. Though I *do* kind of have fun looking at my location dashboard in Google and seeing where I've gone and other metrics.
But you're right, its a huge hog (I'd say I get an extra 5-8 hours without it) and it isn't adding *that* much value.
I Greenify Facebook Beta and Twitter. And for some reason Google Keep keeps getting stuck in a sync loop, so I Greenify that too.
Think I'll clear data on GNow and see if I really notice the loss.

I don't know if clearing data turns it off, I just went into it and went to settings and turned it off
