So after reading everywhere on the forums how amazing the Atrix's battery life is, I took a look into my phone to see why mine was so shoddy. Turns out that when I type *#*#INFO#*#* on the dialer and go to Battery history, under Sensor usage it says that the Android System has been using it 100% of the time the phone has been on for "Since last unplugged", "Total since boot", and "Total in all time". The thing is, I stopped using auto brightness a few days ago, so I don't know what the problem is. Is anyone else having this problem? Is this typical of the Atrix? My N1 never had this problem. Any suggestions please? Thanks.

I have the same battery drain issue while the phone is on stanby. I fully charge my battery to 100%, left the wifi on and went to sleep. Woke up and battery is 60%. Try again the next night. 100% battery, turn wifi off and when I woke up the battery was 96%. So from 10pm-5am i lost on 4%. So something is wrong with our wifi sensor.
Well leaving wifi on will drain the battery. My issue is the proximity sensor I believe. I factory reset my phone just now and I'm still plagued with the same issue. So I don't believe it's a rogue app. Can anyone look at their battery history and tell me their usage percentage? I'm afraid my problem is a hardware issue now.
Can anyone check out their battery info with *#*#INFO#*#* and tell me their Sensor Usage by Android System? I just need to confirm to see if this is a hardware issue for me. Thanks!
I'm not having any battery issues and my sensor usage is 100%.
I leave GPS on, I've been texting on and off, played about half an hour of angry birds, and spent maybe 30 minutes on a call. Started at 8am now it's 1:47pm and my battery is at 60%. I'm not using juice defender or any battery management software.
Hope this helps.

Mine shows the same thing. I don't think this is an error. The system needs to be aware. This sensor could be the unlock button. I have great stand by batt unless wifi is on which is normal

Ah I see, thanks for your input guys. It's just that I haven't had the greatest battery life, I can just see it drop with battery circle widget sometimes :/. Plus, coming from a N1, its sensor usage was low so I thought this was a problem. But this puts my worries to rest, thanks.
Seems every Atrix is a new world, just as my Milestone.
Do you guys have "Sensor Rotation" enabled in the Phone preferences? This was known to drain the battery of the Nexus S/Vibrant.
I just notice after 4.3 update, my battery life suffers a lot. When I check BBS, the main culprit is surfaceflinger. I know its all about the display it shows in the screen but how can it eat almost all the power? Max screen time I get is 2.5 hours. Anyone experiencing it? Last post regarding this says its normal but I have my phone for the longest time but I think the drain is not normal.
I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this. If I have the screen on or off this seems to happen. The battery shows a normal show drain, then ask of a sudden plummets 50+% in a matter of an hour, then stabilized. Any thoughts or suggestions.
I always start at 97% not 100. Android 4.4.4 current android wear version.
I have this issue and have spent the last 2 days trying to fix it to no avail. I'm wanting to start a fresh to resolve it which means wiping internal storage of music/photos etc. One question though, what's the best way of doing this to them install a fresh ROM?
Is this being reported by GSAM with the root plugin, or another battery monitor?
Also, are you on stock, or another ROM?
I have noticed my top app battery drain by far is the Mediaserver - however my battery life doesn't seem to be suffering unduly.
I'm wondering if it isn't actually to do with the indexing that the System (mediaserver) performs but the "Audio On time". If you view the details of the apps power usage in GSAM it shows quite a high number for "Audio On". About the same as my SoT. I have no idea if this is expected/normal behaviour (ie whenever the phone is awake the process turns the audio on) and is a red herring or if this is in fact an issue with it activating some audio functions even when nothing is playing.

Yes it is and it's making me go mad! I might uninstall it if this is the case. Has anyone else reported the issue if it is one?
So as everyone knows, miui is full of flaws for redmi pro. Miui8 has the cell standby battery drain, a problem that is solved in miui9.
Still, there is a new bug where the battery is drained by "Unaccounted". This is what system2 app shows in "battery history". Also, the CPU is kept awake by system_server. Stock battery usage shows "Android" and "Android system" as top battery usage apps.
Anyone figured out a fix? Anyone having the same problem?
I tried to deny permissions for Android and other system apps, but with no luck...
I'll upload screenshots in the second post for a more detail view
Edit: one more thing I forgot to mention. When the phone is plugged in (charging) the CPU is no more kept awake in background by Android and Android system. So all the problems are solved when it's charging. xD
Here are the attachments. Thank you
Same issue in miui 9
Here are my battery usage screen shots
I have mine 100% awake, all the time. Redmi Pro X20 3gb.
