Poor battery life and issues after installing animations - Motorola Atrix HD

Hi guys. I was using CM 10.1.3 on my Atrix HD. It was working fine, good battery life (1 day with average use). But then, 1 day ago, I had the great (sarcasm) idea of installing some animations that I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455776
It doesn't give more documentation or something, but people said that it worked good, so I gave it a try. I installed it but there were no new animations. Instead my phone started running a little slower than regular. I decided to better flash again CM 10.1.3 since I didn't know how to remove the animations.
After I flashed it and used it, it lasted for about 5 hours from 100% charge with average-heavy use! I did calibrate the battery before using it, but still really low battery life. I didn't have time today in the morning to flash again, so I waited to do so.
Then, it was kind of laggy again. And the worst is that, everytime that I connected it to my Windows 8 laptop, it crashed and gave me the Blue Screen of Death. I decided to flash again CM 10.1.3. It doesn't crash the laptop anymore, but at this moment is still draining fast.
TL;DR: I installed untrusted software and phone is draining the battery really fast. Already flashed but still the same.
Can anybody help me or give me tips?

If you don't know how to remove the animations themselves, I'm 99% sure they are housed in the data partition, so reflashing your ROM will do nothing. I'm afraid you'll have to factory reset to get rid of it, wipe cache and dalvik too.

Yes, I know, in fact I wiped everything, restored to factory, formated data, system, dalvik, etc, etc, but still the same. After I formated everything, I reflashed.

[Q] Stuck on splash after deleting battery stats?

Having flashed GinSense, and it's been working fine for the last few days, the battery percentage was pretty inconsistent, so I tried the method of charging, deleting the battery stats, then letting it empty the charge and then charging back to full.
I got the battery stats point, deleted it, now it's stuck at the G1 splash.
WTF.
I had to rewipe the phone, and now it's working again, but anyone know why something so weird would happen?
I think you only had to wipe dalvik cache. If it happened on my phone (samsung galaxy 3) i'm sure it would have been a problem with dalvik cache. Not sure about yours but it could have been the same.
Normally when i wipe battery stats no problem like this occurs and i never wipe anything.
Search Battery Calibration in the Market and use it. It better.

No, it's not better. It does the same thing. I used it on my phone with another rom a few months back, and the same thing happened. I got a random reboot, then it wouldn't boot past the splash.
Anyway, I ended up just re-flashing my rom, so I guess we'll see how it goes in the future, and wiping dalvik if it happens.

[Q] Note heating up on Asylum CM 10.1 4.2.2

Hi
I have recently installed the Asylum ROM and its amazingly fast which is a massive understatement. However, I am facing these issues:
1. Phone gets heated while locked and I can clearly feel it in my pocket
2, The battery has been tapering off like anything
I had done a full wipe and done a clean install. Also I have flashed the latest Asylum kernel and gapps.
I have tried to take the following to solve it:
1. Disabled all sounds which might be causing wakelocks
2. Tried rebooting to recovery and rewiped cache and dalvik again
Please help me zero in the issue and how I can stop the phone from heating.
your battery may be telling you that its time to get replaced, because ive had the same problem and have been advised to replace the battery with a new one.
okay I did a clean wipe and reinstalled everything and now the phone is not heating up
I lost 14 percent battery overnight... I looked at battery stats and backup is causing the most partial wakelock... has anybody else faced similar drains?
how do I take care of this?

I do, with many CM based ROMs. Right now, I'm on the 24Jule Asylum build and It works great.
Remove the SD-Card, before you go to sleep and check if the problem goes on.

%0 battery issue - phone keeps shutting off

When using the phone the battery indicator immediately drops from whatever it was at down to %0 and the phone shuts off.
When I start the phone up into recovery (Philz) it still shows the original battery percentage that was reported before the phone shut off. I rebooted the phone back up into system several times and sometimes I am able to use it for a minute or two and then it will repeat all over again: the battery drops back to %0 and the phone reboots, other times it says %0 immediately after bootup and shuts off right away.
It's intermittent, so sometimes I can go for a week or two if I'm lucky without it happening, but sometimes I can only go a few hours without being interrupted by the shutdowns. The only thing that seems to have helped me is charging my phone a little bit more and then it stops for a while, but I don't always have a charger with me so I would like to get this issue resolved if possible.
I know my battery is charged. I was able to sit there flashing my phone over and over trying to fix the issue and the phone kept working 45 minutes and even an hour later. Sometimes reflashing my ROM after wiping system, cache, etc. seems to fix the issue, other times it doesn't work.
I have done the EB40 mod to my phone, but I haven't had any issues with it. It's possible that this problem could be related to that as well, but I'm fairly confident that my battery is in good condition.
This issue has been occurring for quite a while and I have done full wipes and reflashed several times with multiple different ROMs and kernels to see if the issue was related to a certain ROM or kernel. All of the ROMs I have tried were very heavily based on CyanogenMod I believe, so if it turns out to be software rather than hardware then that seems to be the common link.
I need my phone for my job so this is something I really need to get sorted out. I have to use my phone for debugging and testing applications.
I have searched all over the web but no one I have found in any forum was having quite the same issue as me.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue? A suitable workaround if no other solution could be found would be somehow preventing the phone from rebooting when the battery reads %0 if that's at all possible.
Here's a screenshot of my battery history from today when this happened. Notice how the battery level goes right back to where it was after rebooting.
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6RpWzK5OKf4SFp1TWd1aUJ4ZlU/edit?usp=drive_web
Some additional info:
My battery is still at %52 as I type this and it's still running without a problem. Battery life is great in the CyanogenMod nightlies when I'm not having this issue.
I am running the October 12th nightly. The issue started while I was using arrrghhh's kernel, and it persisted even after wiping /system, and /cache and then using just the normal kernel that comes with the October 12th nightly.
Try a different rom?

I have tried flashing quite a few different ROMs and this has happened on all of them. CyanogenMod, PAC, JellyBam, and ProBAM come to mind.
Have you tried wiping every thing and fastbooting back to stock?

No. Would that really be necessary?
I wiped /system, /data, /boot, /cache, dalvik-cache, basically everything.
This sometimes does resolve the issue temporarily, but it comes back after a while.
UPDATE: I read somewhere that this may be an issue with the battery not being properly calibrated after installation. I don't think I've ever drained the battery all the way down since I got the EB40, so I figured I'd try it.
I tried completely draining it and charging it up to %100 with the phone off and I haven't had any issues so far. Sometimes it went for a week without having issues before though, so I'll be keeping an eye on it in case there are any more issues.

Nougat Causes Random Reboots

Ever since I flashed the OTA my N6 has been having random reboots and battery life issues. The reboots happened three times today and all three times happened when the phone was just sitting next to me.
I originally had the WiFi problem where it wouldn't connect to anything until I reset the network settings. A factory reset didn't work for the WiFi issue. I am not rooted and just running stock with encryption.
Android OS is using a lot of the battery as well. You can see the three times today where it rebooted from the attached screenshot.
Any idea what is going on and how to stop it? So far Nougat has been horrible for me when I didn't have problems like this with the marshmallow upgrade.
as a rule of thumb avoid otas, always go for flashing the factory image via fastboot when available , in my experience otas=trouble

I've had the same battery issue. I think it has to do with the data partition. I did not a full wipe when upgrading to Nougat.
Settings - Battery - 3dots -> Battery optimization, and manually optimize all apps for battery use.
When you upgraded without a full wipe -> consider a clean reinstall with a full wipe.

All of the apps are setup for Doze. I did a factory reset after installing the OTA, which didn't seem to help. Also, I hooked up the charger last night at 1 am. It's now 6:50am and it only charged from 10% to 82% in that time. I never had issues like this before.
I did a clean install, I had to because it was from a custom rom, but it's been working perfectly for almost a week. If it had some problems they would have shown by now. No wifi trouble, no battery draining.

I noticed that your screen consumed 38% of the battery. That's very much in 15 hours.
Is it possible that there is something magnetic in the neighborhood that is constantly switching the screen on and off. This may happen with cases with magnetic closer.

It was that high because I was trying to figure out what was going on. I ended up this morning doing a complete wipe and reflash of the factory images instead of the OTA. So far it seems to be stable, except the WiFi constantly is dropping strength and jumping back. Not sure what's causing that one.
what most people dont ever consider.. it can be your personal setup thats causing reboots on nougat.

I use minimal apps, on a fully stock setup. I haven't tweaked anything, so how would that cause the reboots?
After reflashing the full factory images yesterday morning I did not have any random reboots. However, when I plugged in to charge last night, using the original cable and charger, it took over 3 hours to go from 55% to full. This was happening before the full flash, but only after Nougat. The other night it went from 10% to 68% in 6 hours. Quick charge doesn't seem to work in Nougat anymore.
Still getting this? Put stock nougat image on mine and experiencing random reboots. Going to try pure tomorrow, hopefully that resolves it.
Mine quick charges fine on a clean factory image install of Nougat. Battery life doesn't seem great but I'm still letting it settle and not sure how old this device is I picked it up off Craigslist the other day

Try Franco kernel I think he has added a fix for this

7.0 problems..

Is anyone else having these problems? So far I've witnessed bad battery life since being on oos 4.0, and also my widgets will just vanish out of the blue.. when I receive a voicemail it says I have one but when I go to check it nothing is there..

Hmm, maybe try going into recovery and do a factory wipe and cache wipe. Obviously if you have anything that you need to backup, do that first.
I actually heard that oos4 runs great and battery is amazing.
Try just cache wipe first. If it still keeps misbehaving, try full factory wipe. I cleaned cache on mine, and the only thing bad I had on the first day was an 8% battery loss in 8 hours of sleep. On the second day, I took a few more apps from the not optimised list for aggressive doze (had skype and other stuff in there, now its just whatsapp, viber and accubattery) and had only 1% drain in 8 hours of sleep.
Same exact issues. Think I'm going to do a fresh install...which I'm not excited about. Giving it a few days to see if it levels out first.
Widgets also vanish on mine. At first I thought I was losing it!
Well.. I got aggravated with my widgets steadily disappearing so I downgraded back to 3.5.4.. I tried a clean install of 4.0.. wiped dalvik/cache.. widgets kept on disappearing.. battery life was horrid.. so.. that's that.. Tired of installing,installing and installing.. 3.5.4 with elemental kernel ran perfect for me before all this..
