[Q] Indian Atrix 2 users: Is Mobile Radio/standby consuming more battery?

I just want to confirm whether all Indian Atrix 2 users are experiencing the same problem or its just me. My mobile radio/standby is consuming 40% of total battery and the battery lasts for 13-14 hrs with moderate use.
If everyone is experiencing the same problem then the radio needs an update otherwise my device has some problem.

Radio Usage
Mine stays at 10%

I am in America, but it uses 30-35% most of the times

Maybe my sim is faulty
I replaced my sim with a new sim card and the battery life is awesome now. Mobile standby still shows 40% but the battery life is almost doubled with moderate use. Maybe the battery calibration is not correct. But I think the sim was faulty.

Yeah even I had the same problem, mobile standby 40 and phone idle 20, I tend to get 12 - 13 hrs with moderate usage with intermittent wifi/data usage.. my sim is new.. What to do !? Any suggestions ?

Yes.. Mine too shows 40 to 45% as standby..

I think it depends on signal strength

well, I have the same problem, here in Israel.

You could try using your phone for one day with a new sim. Sometimes the battery calibration is also a problem. If you are rooted then re calibrate your battery. ( Search for the app in Market)

Not rooted yet, so can't do the recalibration, will get the Sim next week, might order the extended OEM batt from Ebay, but its cost rs.2.5k and 2600 separately for the back cover !

If its under warranty you can send it to service center. May be some other problem can be there.

I thought about returning the phone, but till now I was ok with the battery, though now standby and phone idle takes up a total of 60% of my total charge and 15% on voice calls, so i'm just left with 25% for the rest of my usage, after a full charge i'm left with approx 9hrs since the past couple of days which has dropped a lot. Signal strength is fluctuating between -75 - 91db

[Q] Is This Good or Bad ?

Hello Guy . Im using The Carbon Rom 4.2.2 on my Verizon S3 .. Over All I love the ROM , but like Any ROM I use my Battery life Will be Gone with in an Hour if I use it frequently. just in a 20 Mins I Went To 100%-89% with Brightness As low as it can Go . no WiFi. No GPS . No Sync .. I don't think that's Good Enough .. Who can help me and save my Battery Life

Disable the sync if you dont want it. The account sync will stop decice from going to deep sleep.
Thanks doesn't hurt....

I think normal

Do y'all think its Dying a little To Quick . I might get 1 And Half each life

I would try a custom kernel that lets you change clock speeds when the system is off. Right now you have 28% battery drain. I usually have anywhere from 2-9% with the phone of most of the time. A custom kernel will also allow you to change govoners and schedulers which can sacrifice some performance for bettrr battery life.
I couldn't upload pictures but on clean rom 6 running ktoonse kernel I got 6hrs screen on time 13.5hrs up time and a 6.4% battery drain. That's with a 4400mah battery so you should be able to get at least half that time with heavy use (my stats are at heavy use) and that only ran my battery down to 30%

Battery problems

Hello there,
I noticed that my battery really doesn't last long. It's been 100% full and now, 4 1/2 hours later, there are only 6% left. The weird thing about that is that I did not really used it during that time. WLAN has been turned on over that time, display was really dark, no backlight notifications or anything. Has anyone any idea how to fix this? (LG P940)

can you give more info
can you give more info? info like- which android, how many mah (ex: 2000,1000). give that and i may be able to help you,...

Would be really awesome! Android version is 4.2.2, battery has about 1500mah (think it's 1540) and I'm using the cyanogenmod kernel. Do you need any more information?

Thats not really much of a battery for the hardware,.. how old is it? Is this a recent problem, and when did you flash to CyanogenMod ?
To me it sounds like something is draining the battery pretty hard. Is the Wi-fi signal stable? Any processes under Apps>All, using excessive memory?

To me it sounds like you are having wifi/gps/bluetooth on all time, and if not, you should close ALL apps next time. Some running apps on your background could even drown your battery from 100% to 0% in less than 2 hours. Big apps or games cause the most trouble
Greetings,

If this phone/battery is more than one and half year old, this could be just battery dying, like mine (LG P920, 2 years old, 1500mAh) is dying right now.
It can't last more than 6 hours lately, so i bought a new one.
A li-ion battery (standard models) just can handle frome 300 to 500 charging cycles, thus if tou charge your phone every day, battery life has about 18 months lifetime.
After, it just dies, more or less slowly.

Thank you all so far.
Bought the phone 1/2 year ago so this can't really be the problem. The battery has never been great but got worse about a month ago. I flashed it about 2 weeks ago and this didn't seem to influence the battery.
I always keep GPS and Bluetooth turned off (only turning GPS on when I go running, but I never noticed that this influences the battery either) and Wi-fi is pretty stable. As I heard that Wi-fi is really bad for the battery I tried turning it off as much as possible and so far it seems a bit better.
I also took a look at how much memory the apps use and saw that Facebook, Kingsoft Office and Whatsapp really need a lot. I think I will uninstall Facebook and KS Office then and see if this helps.

I presume you bought it new ("and sealed")?

Maps used to be a big problem for me running in the background. See which apps use Maps.

Yep, I got it completely new.
Okay, I'll check that, thanks.

Also problem with battery
I had a similar problem, my battery got "sick" after I used my phone as a GPS during 2 or 3 days. the phone was quit warm during the navigation. After that The battery life was reduced from around a day to 9-10 hours. In addition when battery is around 20%, the phone just shut down due low-battery and as soon I turn it on, as soon it turns off!
The solution was to buy a new battery, but that is odd that using the phone as GPS navigator damages the battery so badly!
Btw, my phone is a HTC desire w/ Android 4.2

yah now i may be able to help you, download the antutu battery saver app from google (it requires root) it is a really good app and helped he last
my battery from 3 hrs to 7 1/2 hrs. if you don't have root access, then it is a prob. if you don't have, tell me and i will give you another solution which
does not require root

Thanks man, I just installed it, will write tomorrow how useful this App is.

Battery levels really jumpy

Hello, ever since flashing cm 10.2 on my phone, I've noticed that my battery was being drained extensively by Google services. A full wipe and re-flash later, it was fixed. Well, during those two flashes, my battery level has been erotic.
I can go 4 hours with normal drainage and then the phone casually reboots, and then says I have 9% or so remaining. It will "charge" itself to 13%, reboot again, and it the battery will report that it has around 20% or so, and drain normally.
The battery life has diminished a bit, but that could be because of age, and it barely lasts me 8 hours.
Does anyone know of any solution other than buying a new battery? Recalibrated has helped, but not by much.
As always, any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
magnetboard

in around a few crashes and drain wipe, the battery report can be way off
after a few cycles, it should normalize
if your drain persists, look to wifi drain, cpu regulators, wakelocks or rogue apps updates causing drains

Thanks, right now I have better battery stats to analyze wakelocks and apps and then I have greenify and system tuner to freeze Google services and apps. Hopefully this minimizes drain.

Anyone has an idea ? Would really appreciate some help .. cause this f***** up .. 7 hours ... Specially that I wake up at 7-8 am .. so by 3-4 pm the phone is dead .. HELP ME !

Try different charger eg connect micro usb on laptop and leave it charge. From time to time it's good you leave battery to "sinchronize" and leave it charging for 7-8 hours.
Maybe it's rom dependent to. Check which apps are running in background, close unneeded, disable wifi, BT and so on. Which ROM do you use?

If you have root access then try greenify. First see what exactly is consuming you battery unnecessarily and then greenify those apps.
You can also try one power guard. It actually saves battery in my opinion.

Then you can try snapdragon batteryguru. I used to use this app before I rooted my one s. I don't think it has much effect but no harm in trying. It basically reduces the app refresh time based on your usage so that much battery is saved. It will learn your usage habits for 2 days.
You may also consider rooting your device.

What do you think about this maximus hd rom ??
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

I suggest switching to an AOSP ROM, preferably CyanogenMod 11 since it's pretty stable. I was extremely unimpressed with the battery life on the stock ROM and decided to try a custom ROM. I'd never go back now. The battery life alone has proved to me that AOSP is better than Sense. Sense is bloated.

If you didn't try yet then try to empty the battery 3 times fully and always full recharge (make sure that the phone dies by itself).
For it was happening that the the battery was emptying down to few percent very fast (e.g. normal use 16hours) but when it was at 1 percent I could watch YouTube for 20min before the phone died.

I haven't used it, so I can't comment on it. I'm not really a fan of Sense though and Maximus is a Sense-based ROM.

It lasts me through a day with about 30% remaining after 9 hours of moderate usage. Not terrible but not great either, but the battery life just isn't very good in general on this phone.
Standby battery life is excellent though.

My tip that you need are to buy a new battery. I had almost 2 years old battery and the phone died after just 8 hours with minimal usage! So I decided to change the battery, now i've a 2100 mah. The phone is alive after 1,5 day with minimal usage!

also you can try BetterBatteryStats and you can see which app is draining your battery.

Catch it before it runs away from home!!
Just a joke. On a serious note..consider replacing battery

install an app called Wakelock Detector.
it's possible that you have an app installed that keeps waking up the device when not in use.
Wakelock Detector will tell you what app is doing that.
