Battery Fix 2.3.x

DeXtmL · Jul 24, 2011

thx for reply, I got this solved.
The reason is the file permission for battd is somehow failed to set. I fixed that by manually set the permission in the terminal.

UPDATE
For ppl who has the same problem but don't like to go into the command terminal, here's a GUI way:
You need the root explorer or es file explorer. First mount the system folder as writable, then navigate to the file /system/bin/battd, long press and select permisson or properties. then set the permisson to: [user:rwx, group:r-x, other: r-x] (r:read,w:write,x:execute).
Now reboot, done, enjoy the fix.

I dunno if this related to this fix, but I've noticed my phone wont charge past 98%. It says fully charged at 95, and goes slowly to 98 and stops.. should I use recovery to wipe stats once it gets to 98? The battery calibration app I use sometimes says its not good to force early calibration..?

Use cwm to do it

That'd be safe to do? My battery voltage at 98 looks to be about what it was at 100, so it seems it just reads wrong

yeah it should be fine, using tenfar's cwm not sure if the rom manager cwm is lined out yet.

Well, after installing Ninja ROM and wiping battery stats from CWM, my battery issues went away. Now I get more than 30 hours with light use and 24+ with moderate use. Battery decreases only 6% or less overnight.

Here are my stats

When should I be resetting the battery stats from CWM? Once the charge is full or dead?

Well, I wiped them after a full charge. Then I let it drain to 1% and then charged without use till it reached 100%.

It seemed to work flawlessly.

Thanks for letting us know, but I'm not impressed at all!

On your second screenshot it clearly shows almost no screen on time, which translates to almost no real use of the Atrix!

So yeah, moot point...

I also experienced the same problem as DeXtmL and I don't have the portable charger. So I can't use the phone now. Let me be more specific. After flashed this, I had a question mark appeared inside the battery shape. Occasionally, there are messages saying that I have invalid battery and it's not charging. When the battery is completely drained, I can't even power it on. Now, it's just a big screen with the question mark inside the battery shape on my phone. Please help. I guess I have to buy the portable charger to charge it and once it powers on I can set the battery file. I don't even know how to set the battery file as DeXtmL mentioned.

So.. Is it established that Ninja ROM uses less battery as opposed to Ken's v4.5?

Nope. Ninja Rom it´s almost the same than Kenn´s rom with a different theme.
The same kernel, the same .30p radio.

I can tell you that GB battery life it´s ok. The only issue i had, was with windows live msn apps affecting the battery (any of them) (only 9-11 hours moderate use). Without those apps i get 17-20 hours moderate use.

If you have battery drain issues you need to check first, what apps you have running background with data use. Try to use the Atrix without apps installed for one day (with 3g on, gps on) and you will see what im talking about.
Cheers

I don't worry too much about what's running in the background. I usually have whatsapp, mercury, touchdown mail and gmail synchronized all day and they actually don't consume more battery than when they're not active. Today, for example, unplugged my Atrix at 1 pm, went to work, made several calls (22 mins), chatted a lot and sent several mails, used gps to go to work (30 mins) and screen was on for 2hs and 12mins. Phone has been on for 11 hours and 23 mins and has 58% battery left. That's pretty good considering that my moto milestone couldn't hold a full charge with the same usage for more than 12 hours.

you have good battery life by the way...
but i always have runnning in background: gmail (push), facebook, twitter, beautiful weather widget, facebook and twitter laucher pro widgets, youtube widget and talkdroid. Today im gonna try with the latest version of mercury msn and see what happens.
Im using Kenn´s 4.5 Rom with stock kernel, and .30p radio

darkamikaze · Jul 26, 2011

This is odd.. if i view the batter info detail.. it shows it going down.. then goes straight horizontally.. which doesn't make sense because my battery has been draining.. Not sure if it's a faux kernel issue or a battery fix issue.. but thought i'd post in both

(Left) first SS i took.. then a few minutes later (Right) I notice it changed to that.

I had the problem with alien but when I flashed the Jug6 cwm over it the problem went away. Other people have had success too. Try calibrating your battery after you flash it
