This is a thread for the discussion of the bluesleep fix / deep sleep issue specifically for the Motorola Atrix 4g
There is a known issue with some roms that prevents the device from entering the deep sleep cpu state, which is ultimately responsible for a significant reduction in battery life. This is believed to be caused by a glitch in the Bluetooth permission settings. A fix has been developed (known as the bluesleep fix) which is thought to correct the problem, and allow the device to enter deep sleep. It has been suggested that the bluesleep fix will also correct a glitch that prevents the wifi from sleeping. I have not experienced wifi sleep issues myself, so I can’t provide any first-hand knowledge.
Almost everyone who has experienced deep sleep issues and has used the bluesleep fix agrees that it works. I have corrected the problem on my device on CM7, CM9, and CM10 roms. The increase in battery life was dramatic.
However, the bluesleep fix is not without controversy. Many people, including at least one developer, believe the bluesleep fix works and recommends its use. Another developer submitted his version of a fix to CM. There are others, including one whose opinion I respect, that believe there is no reason the fix should work and don’t believe that it does. There have been many recent discussions on the topic on CM9 and CM10 threads that you can search for yourself.
If you have used the bluesleep fix to successfully correct deep sleep issues, or tried the fix and it didn’t work, or strongly believe one way or the other, please share your knowledge and experiences below for the benefit of the community!
[The bluesleep fix is attached (flash with CWM) along with before and after screenshots for a CM9 rom on my device.]
[FYI, I was involved in some of the linked discussions under my former user name (Atrix_FauxG). I thought I should mention this to avoid any confusion.]
[At the time I posted this thread I was unable to determine who created the bluesleep fix. If anyone knows, please inform me so I can give proper credit.]

Edit:
1) I got confirmation from Th3bill that he wrote bluesleep_fix based on settings from olegfusion. Please take a moment to thank both of them (here and here). The bluesleep_fix file can also be found here (feel free to click on a few ads while you are there to further show your appreciation).
2) I neglected to mention that I observed the greatest increase in battery life on CM9 and CM10 roms.
