[Q] Battery draining and overheating

[ttaallooss]

Hello dear xda'rs...

First of all I want to say I read the whole forum and is filled with these issues but I could not find a working solution to the problem and that's why I turn to you.

I got my atrix three weeks ago and its awsome
But, i got a problem with my battery - it can drain to 0% in 4 hours from full charge over night.
In addition in normal use of games and surfing the phone is overheating but not reasonably it gets very very hot.
I'm on stock GB 2.3.4 (see attachment)

It also would be great if you can recommend me a suitable way to root my atrix.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry for my bad english!

Root using the "preinstall" method (search for it, there are at least a couple threads describing the procedure).
Once you've done that, install some process/CPU monitoring app and see if there's any specific app or process that's keeping your phone from going to deep sleeping.

I found this thread (second post) that was meant for version 2.3.4, and the steps are pretty much dead-on the same and shouldn't brick your phone.

Remember, there's always some risk of breaking something, so if you're not comfortable with following the steps, don't do it!
