Atrix Battery life

How is everyone's battery life... I think I came in overhyped by some reviews like engadget's praising the battery life of this phone but in reality haven't been too impressed.
I have to change how I use my phone in order to make it through the day... I did cone from an iphone 4 though...

Give it a day or so. My initial full charge barely lasted a few hours. My next one, though, lasted 12+ hours with pandora running, and the screen on half the time.

Give it a little time. Battery and phone both need to calibrate their readings. I got ~7 hours with display on today (1.5 hours browsing, 5+ hours movie).

Got my phone a few days ago. Last night I went to bed at 12 and didn't plug in my phone, it had 50% remining. I woke up at 11 am and the phone was dead. I charged it to full, now its reporting 30% at 11 hours later. This is with night mode on and I barely touched the phone today, maybe 20 texts max. The thing using most of the battery is phone idle.

This I too noticed. Uses too much battery when idle. I will charge to 100% and see how it fares while I sleep.

I plan on leaving mine unplugged for the night as well. I wonder why this phone idle is using so much battery though.

1) this is like the 10th battery thread. Many answers can be found in the others.
2) Yes. Your battery needs to calibrate over time.
3) Android users more battery when on because of all the things it syncs with in the background: weather, mail, maps, etc.
4) again due to it's syncing it uses more in the background. To find out what dial *#*#info#*#* and look at the battery stats of what had been running. Look at Other Usage especially.

What size does your battery say on the actual battery? I thought it is advertised with 1930 but mine says 1850.

Mine says 1880/1930 mAh (min/typ).
My battery seemed on the lower side of average when I first got it and then it got a lot better after a couple days.

Download Green Power in the Market. Insane improvement. I've used it on my Nexus One (Atrix is coming tomorooow!! for a month now and I've gone 50-60% plus on duration.

I have been running slacker and just web browsing for approx 1.5 hours and am down from 100% to 70%... This is after about four days of nightly charging. I am running green power too with no wifi managment. I have gps etc off. The battery analysis shows that the display is using 80% of the juice. Is any of this normal or is something wrong here?

The Atrix's battery is the best battery in an Android phone I've used to date. I just left Sprint and thought the Epic 4G's battery was decent. After using this for a few days, I realize that the battery in this thing is AWESOME!
While we were with Sprint, my wife had the EVO 4g and now has the Inspire 4G. NONE of these phone hold a candle to the battery life of the Atrix.

So i left mine unplugged over night again, just tried to turn it on and i got "Modem did not power up (0). Starting RSD protocol support. Battery is too Low to flash.

battery info and network searching
First post here and I'm not a developer but have some feedback for this. Couldn't share without registering first. Won't be a pest.
Had the battery issue with the atrix and called att. The suggested a microcell booster as i was only getting one bar here (H+) at home. The store in San Diego gave me one for free and I installed it and have been off the charger for well over 24 hours now and at 50%. granted I'm not using it much as I have computer at home too. However, just sitting on the table before the booster and it would be at 50% in 4 hours.
Went to the laguna mountains in the middle of nowhere two days ago and it had edge network only. The battery lasted all day and night. The drive out there had H+ and edge in the middle of the cleavland nat forest.
If the atrix is searching for networks it uses battery like crazy.
Also tech support said there was no way to force edge connectivity on the atrix. There has been a code suggested here (I don't recall it now) that is supposed to do it but it is only for international use.

I have Green Power on "Managing wifi & mobile netwotk". Does wonders..
Where you browsing on Wlan or Mobile? If your signal isn't good enough it'll obviously eat the battery much faster.

battery life much better than EVO or Epic and EVEN the Droid X. Better than my cousin's iPhone 4 as well. Really great.

I have been using the mobile connection. Havent used gps or wifi. I do only have 2 bars in my house. Can low signal really account for this massive drain. Display still says over 80% use. Now I have been unplugged for 3 hours and I am down to 40%. This cant be right...

Of course!! Your phone is constantly looking for stronger signal & you're browsing at the same time, that certainly accounts for big portion of your battery usage

YABB Yet Another Battery *****ing Thread

Gawdang battery, lasted too long!
So my first android was the nexus one, then the galaxy s, then the nexus S. I am used to the "fantastic" battery life of android phones. So yesterday I was deciding on whether to get the galaxy nexus to continue the tradition, but decided to get the note instead.
I want to do the right thing and that is to do a full charge and full discharge on the first few rounds of battery life but it took AGES for it to discharge fully. I am so pleased with this, I now have better battery life than my wife's iphone.
******** If you see the battery chart, I could not resist playing with the phone so did a little charge there. I am also trying to avoid root as long as possible, after the so call "stock vanilla" experience, its nice to have toggles on the notification without jumping through loops

Wow. 6 hours. That's impressive

That's good to hear, getting my Note in 2 days and I can't wait. Been trolling the forums and hearing a lot of good things

I got my Note on Thursday morning. I didn't have time to set it up until Friday evening. I fully charged the battery first. I've got gmail and twitter syncing, and bluetooth and wifi on. I've made a few calls and showed it off to my family on Christmas Eve. It hasn't been heavy use by any stretch, but I have yet to recharge the battery - it's at 33% right now with screen on time of just over three hours. I'm pretty satisfied so far.

You see from the screenshot that he was charging for a while.
So I don't understand this thread. How can you know how long battery last for if you part charge it?

Not much to understand, my friend. This thread was not made to prove anything, just to show I am real happy with my phone. You are completely right, I did charge it in the middle, I was transfering songs and movies out from the computer and forgot to take it off the usb.
I am now on the second from full to zero. Lets see how much screen time I can get, but already its a winner for me. 77% with 10h on battery and 1h 39m screen time.
Happy holidays all.

Congrats on your new purchases, may you have much joy with it, like I do mine.

i got the note a few days ago and im very pleased with the battery usage. right now on normal usage im on 48 hours of on time, with 40% battery left. display is the biggest usage of course, and has been on 2.5 hours. ive done lots of installing via wifi and playing with new apps and running games, and a few calls, etc. my old galaxy s would get 48 hours only with very minimal usage and nowhere near 2.5 hours of the display on.

So I am now on my 2nd discharge or 3rd and I rooted it, so there was a whole lot of plugging in and adb and stuff, but I think on a real discharge I can get away with about 4 hours screen time, that is stretching it i think but, generally still very very happy with it. Compared to the nexus S and the galaxy s before, this is heaven for me. I still maintain its better than the wife's 4S

Wow. It sounds like a lot of us with battery problems might still have half full batteries falsely claiming to be empty. Aside from turning off the heater function, this might be the next big explaination of "poor battery"

I just got mine, should I charge it before using it or I can use it now?
thanks

You'd better charge it to 100%, then try to use it 'till it has like 5% left, and then charge it fully again

Wow this battery life looks great compared to the XT912. I looked at the specs and it has a 2000mAh battery rating, which is not anywhere near what the Razr Maxx has, yet the battery life seems to be good. Maybe the Intel chip is better on power than I would have thought. I thought the x86 architecture would be horrible on battery.

I am very unhappy with my standby time.
With: GPS off, Wifi off, no data connection, only 2g standby, display off -> device in standy
I get only ~50h of standby time. That is ridiculous, even my old defy could get the double of that.
I wanted to add a cpu spy screenshot, but the phone froze while I tried to take it . . . now I have to wait to collect new data.
2GHz mode was a little high.
Of 10h, it was like 1h on 2GHz, ~7.5h in deepsleep, 1.5h in 600MHz and some few minutes distributet on 900MHz and 1.2GHz.
I had the display on for less than 15 minutes in that time. Does not make any sense to me at all.
Anyone as a hint what I can look for?

Really looking forward to get mine. I ordered it partly because of this thread. My Desire HD hesitates to get me through a day in college. Today i left at 7am and returned at 3pm with just 3% left. And this is not a rare occasion, happens almost every day. My razr i should arrive next monday or tuesday, hope i'm happy with it

That's only slightly more life than the RAZR xt,I expected more,or to stabilized the of?

This thing never dies!

Here's mine with really bad signal so its gonna search alot, and it's used as a demo phone to show customers all day too. Better than the 910 by miles.

I don't really like my battery stats .. I own mine since Friday, have done approx. 3 full charge circles (was down to 30% once), so the battery should by calibrated by now?
The Display was switched on for only ~2 hrs. It's not that much better than my old Desire HD. Do you think that a single app could cause battery drain? Motorola Smartaction? Or the WiFi i have activated at home and in my university? The "Battery Widget? Reborn"- Widget, that analyzes the battery and will tell me the estimated time left?
I think it's too often on 2 GHz frequenzy ...

Battery life on this phone?

I just got this phone, instantly updated to jellybean, still did a factory reset to help with little issues that happen sometimes on android updates ... and the battery life is terrible. Nothing at all like everyone is bragging about. I even made a lot of smart actions to try to help (i.e. put in airplane mode when I'm not using it, 4g off when wifi on, background data only when using phone, etc.).
I'm getting around 2h and 45 min of screen on time. And it still loses around 12-15% overnight with airplane mode on. No apps downloaded or settings synced from account.
Are there other things I could check?
Facebook freezing and FC constantly too.

Hmm ... I'm debating on sending it back. How was your battery life in the beginning?
No one experiencing huge facebook issues? Some other apps seem to take awhile to load.

Seeing you had 2-3 hrs on screen time, its no wonder the battery is dying on you. At first I found the battery life ok, would get through the day, but as I used it more the battery seemed to settle and now get 2 days a charge...BUT as with everything concerning battery this is relative.
I don't sync pretty much anything. I don't sync gmail, facebook, etc...which i know do take up substantial battery life. One thing I've found with this phone from using CPU Spy (app), is that when it goes into deep sleep, it really uses no battery power...I mean NONE! The other day at work it was just sitting on my desk doing nothing for 3 hours and went from 90% at 9am to 90% at 12 noon.
Battery is great on this phone...

I've had this phone for about a month now and my battery life is incredible. Better than I ever expected. I'm getting 2 full work days out of a single charge. I can suggest an app that I'm convinced works very well for Motorola's as this is the second one I've had. 2x battery saver seems to work better than juice defender. Cutting off background data when the phone is idle will help out a lot and that app does that very well. Smartactions should also be kept to a minimum. My phone uses virtually no battery when it is idle. If you play around on the internet a lot then its gonna drain your battery. For mostly talking and texting, its great.

Same problem but it does get resloved
When I got my razr m it had the same battery problem, but with time it will start holding more of a charge. It takes roughly month, and now i'm getting two days easily with it.

Yep. The battery here is unbelievable. I used ~1gb data, about an hour of calls and a few games for bout 30 min or so. Oh and some music. About 1.5 hours to charge and 2 days battery. Best battery life I have seen since the Nokia 1700 with net ten. Really. Its that good.
And I mean straight out the box. I bought it on Thursday last week and charged it maybe 3 times.
Charged it on Tue at 830 or so till bout 10 central standard time. I got 35% right now. I'm TRYING to kill it before I go to bed. I'm not very optimistic. Outstanding battery. Shoot, unheard of. 4.1.1
Oh and PS. I ain't rooted it yet either.

To speed the settling in process.
Use the phone unit it dies. And then Charge it fully with no interruptions. Dont unplug and replug.
I had 4 of these going through my place now.
My girls, Mines and 2 from friends.
My girl's was settled in well when we received it already.
Mines took 1 week to settle in. My 2 friends took 1 weeks with that Calibration process and the other took 4 weeks of normal usage.
The phones battery is a monster !!!
2 hours worth of phone calls Screen is on time 3 hours, 16h wifi, I am at 40% and been off the charger for 17 hours.

The battery on this thing is great! One thing Motorola does better than any other manufacturer. I'm getting all weekend off a charge as my phone pretty much runs off wireless

The i is more efficient when using it acctionally by 5%
Heavy usage the M is by 3% better, at conserving battery but the i is faster on heavy usage on large application
I have to get the screen shots we got few weeks ago.
Also the i tends to suck more power on some apps due to the emulation. But is not slower in anyway.
They are marginally almost the same.
Its just where u need the Processing power to be.
Heavy need of processing power the i is very competitive on single 3D apps
Need 100% compatibility with the apps store use the M with its ARM CPU
1.5 ARM Dual core or 2.0 Hyper Thread Single Core

I'm getting AMAZING battery life on my RAZR M. I get through the entire work day (lots of voice calls, wifi usage, bluetooth, maybe 1.5 hrs of screen time total) and still have about 35% remaining before I go to bed (about 15 hrs of usage). I even try to kill the battery by watching videos at home, putting the screen brightness on 100%, still havent managed to kill the battery.
So far very impressed with this phone, especially compared with my old Galaxy SII on TMobile

Agreed it is pretty poor..
I get about 4 hours screen on time.
My note 2 gives me like 8 or more.
That being said, it is an amazing phone otherwise. I just traded an Xperia z for it and it was the best trade ever. The z was absolute garbage. What was Sony thinking using that bad of a screen?

For me the battery is very good.
I always have wi-fi and data on and with my regular usage I get about 2 days (this includes about 2 hours screen on).
You get around a day easily if you have 4 hours of usage.
4g signal and screen brightness can alter these numbers of course.
PS Υοu can't possibly compare the One's battery to the Note.
