[Q] Battery life sucks after update, help me please - Motorola Atrix HD

Suggestions for better battery life???
Thanks in advanced

Do a factory reset after update. It will wipe everything left from previous rom which drains battery.

Factory reset makes you lose root! :/

[Q] OFFICIAL STOCK ICS PROBLEMS for note!??

Maybe its just me!!! but I find that after updating to ICS 4.0.3 on note the ram usage is always quite high, as always around 600-700. does anyone else have this problem ?
Another problem i find is the lag in the camera? like when you take a picture and then scroll through picture you've taken, after press the back key and it lags for a while before returning to home screen..
PLease say it isnt just me
p.s Ive got the TGY(hong kong) version of ICS officially from kies!!
+1 i oso got problem is the ram...it is very high...higher than gingerbread...any suggestion??
Suggestion:
go to a cm9 build ROM with a "safe" kernel as well.

Just a word of warning....a factory reset or any kind of wipe could hard brick your device on official samsung roms.
Don't wipe!! It could trigger the eMMC bug and possibly brick your phone if you try to flash anything. The best advice is to flash a safe gb rom using pc odin and wait until a solution comes out.

I presume that your screen was off during much of this time? I am using the LPY build and use my note for prolonged book reading. With the screen on auto brightness I am lucky to get 6.5 hours with all other data services running.

I thought brick problems was caused by cwm wipes, i dont think.the emmc problem is being experienced by those of us using stock.only? ?? I have looked at quite a few threads and it appears to me only people who root get the issue may be wrong but i peesoannly think.stock only should be safe

I think likewise, there is one case of bricking using the wipe in stock recovery (XXLPY if I didn't remember wrongly), but the person has rooted his phone using Dr Ketan method (temp cwm + su-busybox installer), so is still not a pure official stock rom imo.
I just finally upgraded to official ICS and using LP9...
So far everything is buttery smooth.
Just a question.. Is doing a factory reset (under Backup & Reset) the same as wiping thru the Recovery Mode?

Beg to differ.. On official ics upon factory reset its unlikely that one would hard brick the phone...

Your first question no one can answer yet. Time will tell.
Yes you can flash the wifi version on the 3g tab.it will work without 3g functionality.
Make sure you completely charge your battery (with tab switched off) before flashing to minimize problems!
also do a complete wipe (factory reset) before flashing!
you don't have much to lose just try it!

yes im agree with you.. if the problem still persist .. make the battery drain in recovery mode, then charge in standby mode until ROM says 100%..
wait until 2-3 cycle and see the behaviour..

Ultimate jelly bean rom

Hey guys..plzz help..i have flashed dis ultimate rom on my galaxy note..bt since i have flashed dis rom..its eating a lot of battery..when i dont use my phone..it still eats battery..widout evn switchng on the screen. It drops around 1% in every 2 minutes. Is this the rom problem or the kernel or just the battery is getting older and my phone is about 10 months old. Please tell what to do..
Sent from my GT-N7000
did you do clean install on safe kernel?
Did you recover apps and apps data? Best never do this. Apps is ok most of time, app data with a tool like romtoolbox or titanium backup is not recommended by me(only if on same rom version)
can you check if a process is running wild? (settings>developers>cpu something)
Can you read Ahslfords sticky on wakelock (must read this, this can also help in analysing current and future wakelocks across the Android device/OS board!
still haven't pasted a screenshot of the battery graph
Yes i did a full clean install on my phone..full data wipe, cache..

sometimes an Os needs to settle, that could also be the case. Anyways hope you find it and get the Ultimate experience it was build for! Or actually cooked, lol.

i have installed the same rom. it runs fine. and battery drain is ok. aint had it long enough to test wakelocks etc. but seems to be draining fine so far. only issue i have is the time it takes to charge the phone. its chargin really slow. i mean from 51% - 74% its taken 58 mins. i am on philz kernel 3.95. and yes i did do a fresh install (wiping data, preload etc etc). as for how im charching the phone its via my laptop. only reason i can think its charging slow is due to the fact that on laptop the usb mode automatically turns on. and i cant find a way to stop that. any ideas? thanks. and to the op check my thread on how to install it correctly. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2072013

Transparent status bar
Hey guys,
My first post here,
I am using Ultimate jelly bean rom v 5.2 on my gt n7000.
For the past few days I've bean learning about editing my SystemUI.apk and I've bean trying to change my status bar to transparent. But, this didn't work.
This is what i did:
1. I got my SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk, and twframework-res.apk.
2. Using apktool (windows) I installed the apks, decompiled , edited tw-super-status-bar.xml and drawables.xml, and finally I recompiled.
3. I added the Meta-Inf file,re-zipped, and changed to apk.
4. Finally, I zip-aligned the new .apk and introduced it to my system.
I tried several times but it didn't work. Instead, after rebooting, I lost my status bar, wallpaper, long press home button, and notification panel.
What am I missing guys?

Homescreen lags on 20a

Hello everyone, plesase share your expierience of using stock 20x firmware.
I'm using it for over a month and Im tired of homescreen lags, after installing apps, after browsing web, after playng games.
The homescreen lags enormously.
I even tride to rollback on 4.0.3, but ICS misses some features that I used to use on 4.1.2. So, I back on 20A.
I hate homescreen lags!
Share your opinions, please

No..Do a hard reset,wipe cache,wipe data and try no to backup anything but contacts rather install apps one by one!(its a boring proces but just to be sure because some apps dont work he same on ICS and JB so you might encounter problems)

After update you MUST do a hard reset! If you do that there will be no lagg... So just do a hard reset and you`ll be fine..

It seems it is lag free now. It restored all apps from my google account and during installs it wasn't freezy. After I install flipbourd it lagged a bit, but after gaming homesgreen appeared immediatly, it is really better than it was before.
Could lag spikes in games also occur when updating without a reset?

Just for the record, and hoping this may help others,
I upgraded to Euro Open V20A when it came out, at the beginning of april. Did the factory reset/data wipe from the recovery menu, but DID NOT clear the dalvik-cache at that time. The upgrade worked fine but homescreen was extremely laggy.
Now, almost two months later, I tried clearing the dalvik-cache to see if that made any improvement (did not perform a factory reset/data wipe this time, only cleared dalvik-cache); I've been using the phone for two full days afterwards, and it really feels like a completely different device! The homescreen has not lagged once since clearing the cache. Of course, I didn't lose anything (apps, data, configuration) this time.
So, from my experience, after installing the upgrade you absolutely *must* wipe all contents of the phone, including the dalvik-cache. But if you didn't, and like me, did a data wipe but not the dalvik-cache, you can do it afterwards with no bad consequences and still fix the homescreen lagginess. Feels like a new, great phone to me!
Best regards!

wakelocks in xperia z 4.2.2(423)

Android 4.2.2 is draining battery more than 4.1.2 in xperia z. In wakelock detector phone( RILJ) is draining too much. What can we do for this? Maybe sony's next update will fix it.

Just to be sure and clarify. Did you do full reset before you flashed or after? I flashed first time without reset and was not impressed by performance, so I reset it and flash once again... Now the results very satisfying.

Spot-on - full reset BEFORE flash is the key.
I prefer to use CWM if it's still on and do the wipe internal SD, cache, dalvik cache and then the full data reset. Works every time, but the phone reset is OK - provided you format the internal SD card too.
I did full reset after I flashed. So now I have to do a full reset and then I have to flash 4.2.2.

Someone else having problems with WhatsApp and Stamania mode?
I think that happens when you have a chat conversation open, and then lock the phone (stamania mode kicks in)
happening to me too. dont know why though.
I already solved it. Just backup your all apps with titanium. Do factory reset( erase full internal memory. Reboot to twrp recovery. Wipe all and without reboot flash your roms zip.

Had this at the beginning of the week. I don't think it has anything to do with Stamina though, because I'm on a Custom ROM/Kernel that lack Stamina altogether.
I cleared cache and deleted app data, and it seems to have corrected the wakelock.

It's no Sony issue On my KA Radioactive rom there is no such bug, it's because of honami phonebook etc but it misses some things probably so it keeps trying to load them or something like that
Or maybe it's because of old data with newer version of phone related files/apps, try to clear data and/or cache
