I just got an Atrix HD yesterday. Help me, please.

Hey guys.
Just got this phone yesterday, haven't done much expect the obvious few apps (Facebook, ect...) Is there any way for me to improve battery life and the general way the device works? I know nothing about rooting and would only even attempt it of there were a 1-click method. I think it installed Jelly Bean a few minutes after I turned it on, but I'm not sure. I installed Cache Cleaner by Infolite, because it helped keep my last phone from rebooting, but I'm not sure I need it here. Do I?
I just got out of the hospital so my main concern here is just that it works good and is reliable, I would love to get the best battery life I could but like I said, I'm not really the mod type as I have no experience with it.
So, I would be grateful for any info you guys could give me. I'll post a screen shot to give you guys a better idea of what my device is running specifically.
-Thanks.

Yeah your running jelly bean. And currently its not a 1 click process. As far as battery life goes you could put the razr maxx battery in it and it'll last for a day.

You can't do much, disable the AT&T bloatware, turn off GPS abd Sync when you don't need it, keep brightness to the lowest you can

(1. Root the phone and install the stock 4.1.1 update. Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976956 for instructions. Note: this step is not optional. You cannot install GoldenROM if your stock ROM is 4.0.4.
(2. Install Safestrap3 (aka "SS3"). Refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1979018 for instructions.
(3. Download both The ROM and the corresponding Gapps from the links below.
(4. Reboot. When the Safestrap 3 splash page appears, enter "Recovery"
(5. Make new rom slot and install both The ROM and the Gapps. Instructions are in "how to safestrap", http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/.
(6. Reboot
(7. Enjoy
RESULTS...

xXckkillerXx;; Thanks for the quick reply and the instructions, I really do appreciate it.
I'm just curious though, how/why will doing these things help my battery life and what other changes will it make to the device? And how great is the chance of me screwing it up and bricking the device?
Sorry to be such a noob.
-Thanks.

You wont brick as long as you follow the directions, its hard to explain why this rom is gonna help you out, its fast and deletes bloatware, and allows you to optimize your battery life so that theres less usage like when the screen is off, it saves a lot of battery life.

I would love to do it if it's gonna help, but I just don't have enough faith in myself to try it. Like I said, I just got out of the hospital (psychiatric) and my nerves are still a bit wonky. Maybe a 1-click method will be released soon and I can give that a shot at some point.

Sorry to hear that,
For now just disable every att app keep GPS off keep wifi off when not in use brightness low, close apps.

try to calibrate battery
1. Once your phone dies plug it into your HTC charger, (DO NOT TURN IT ON)
2. Let it charger fully (about 3 hours) until you see the light turn green, unplug the phone
3. Turn on the phone on but do not mess with it. (no checking email, messages, etc) let it sit for about 20 to 30 min
4. then plug it in again but let it continue to sleep (about 30 min)
5. once the light is green, unplug and your finished.
this is called a jump charge (DO NOT DO THIS ALL THE TIME)
the phone knows what your doing and it should re-calibrate any phone.

Thanks, and hey. I just noticed you're from Raleigh. I used to live on the south side near Garner. I'm in South Carolina now though, it sucks.
Not to be a bother, but I was thinking I'd switch my SIM card for a BYOD Net10 or Straight Talk one and go prepaid for the time. Any info/thoughts on how that might effect the phone?
Also, if my noob questions are getting tiresome feel free to tell me to shut-up. I'll understand.

[Q] Android OS Battery Drain

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has noticed an increase in the amount of battery that Android OS uses. My battery was great prior to 4.4 and it seemed to have maintained that level immediately after I flashed the stock image. However, over the past few weeks I've noticed that my battery life has been abysmal. I am running 4.4 with GravityBox modifications on a CDMA Dev Edition X.
I used BBStats and GSAM Monitor and believe that some Kernel process is keeping the CPU running when it does not need too. Is there any way to flash a new kernel or is there something else that I should do?
I've attached picture from the stock battery screen as I unfortunately forgot to SS GSAM.
I did a brief search to see if anyone had a similar issue but I was unable to find any relevant topics. If there is one that I missed, please point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Sorry, it does not look like I took one of the partial wakelocks. I did take one of the kernel wakelocks which I've now included. I also realized that I did take a screenshot of GSAM as well. Hopefully this will help.
I charged my phone about before my initial post so I don't have up to date BBS just yet.

I checked out that thread. It doesn't appear that the issue that I am having is similar to the one that they are experiencing. I believe that I've narrowed down the kernel as the problem whereas there's was something actively using the phone process.

Is the deleted wakelock the only kernel wake lock you're seeing?

At the time it was. However, I recently fully charged my phone so I'm going to see if clearing out several apps corrected the issue. I'll report back here tomorrow after I've had the opportunity to see how this charge goes.

Probably your problem isn't the screen if android OS is eating your battery

Android os gets bigger the more services you have enabled. Cut out some services you don't need running all the time and it will lower. Guaranteed.

Can you list an app that would make the screen black and another color or something that is usable to reduce battery life? If it can be done without root that would be very helpful :fingers-crossed:

My android os usage was really high when I was stock then I unlocked the bootloader and without changing the ROM or kernel and now its a non issue usually staying at around 7-10%
Maybe that means a factory reset would help for that? Help this helps and sorry if its off topic

I've actually looked in to this a little. The ideal scenario would be to run everything in "greenscale" as green takes the least power on amoled displays, I believe.
I was sad when I learned that the "Greenify" app wasn't what I wanted it to be...lol

So this is something the Galaxy S5 does? ive seen some of the phones that have the e-ink on one side, regular display on the other.. I would be very interested in that!

I use an app called "Color Wallpaper" to set a dark or black wallpaper color which helps save battery on the OLED screen.

I set my background to solid black. I just wish an app could change the color scale. I had a ROM one time that allowed it to all be changed to red, blue, or green. It would only use those colors. I think it was a ROM for an Evo 4G that was baked into it, but I don't remember.

After hunting around some I disabled touchless control and it made a huge difference. It was eating all sorts of power and creating lots of wakelocks in the background. I still barely can make it through a day but at least it isn't dead by lunch. I may try a factory reset once the at&t 4.4.2 is out for download.

Found an app that can change everything to grayscale (or green, red, blue, salmon)! It's called CF.lumen

SOS Launcher
I just started trying this app for when I am camping and need extreme battery life, SOS Launcher

the idea is similar to what you described, just make sure you reboot after setting it up.

Facebook Messenger battery drain

I've been having battery drain for a while I do recall not having that bad battery use when I first got the phone one app that I did recently install was Facebook messenger. I did notice before I did remove it today that it was my biggest battery drainer at the top of the list. My battery drained just by playing music to 80sh percent after one hour or less. After I removed it I'm getting low to mid 90℅ during the same time. Big difference. Just trying to help those who are having bad battery life with the phone.

Yeah, messenger and facebook apps drain battery a lot and also eat RAM much. If you still want to use them, just greenify them Saves RAM and battery and no background process

Facebook Messenger is known to use a lot of battery life. I prefer using the mobile webpage via Chrome, it's much better than the app itself.

After a few days without messenger its been a big difference in battery life. I do have CleanRom as well on T-Mobile. Just removed it on my nexus 7 today. Same ROM.

Thanks for the input. This goes to everyone as well. I uninstalled the messenger app and am thinking about uninstalling the main facebook app just to see what happens.
Question, what root method did you guys use?
The wugfresh one click? I read that it was mostly stable, but sometimes you had to re run it. I am using a Mac.

Always do it the manual way and not a toolkit. Toolkits are great to having the job done but you don't learn anything while doing so. The manual way is super easy as well, even easier than a toolkit.
Especially on a Mac since you won't have to download drivers. There's a stickied post in n6 general with a step by step guide.

I noticed the battery drain issue with Messenger, as well. My battery dropped to below 70% in about 4 hours and noticed Messenger was the biggest drain. I hadn't even been using Messenger. Uninstalled the app and battery was back to normal.

Battery DRAIN not battery usage
Hey guys. I'm not 100% sure, but I think this thread is about Facebook Messenger really DRAINING the battery, not just the app's (intended) high battery consumption. I've had these issues as well over the past couple of days. My battery would run out within a matter of 8-9 hours, where I usually get 30 hours+ out of my OnePlus One - and that was even though I was barely using Messenger.
I attached 2 screenshots showing the issue.
As a temporary fix I had uninstalled Messenger and that seemed to do the trick. My phone had used up only 20% battery within 8 hours ago (compared to 100% before).
There was a thead on reddit about this as well (here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2vrcuj/facebook_messenger_causing_massive_battery_drain/)
One of the replies was:
UPDATE: WE RESOLVED THE ISSUE. Details: We identified a syncing issue on Android that was affecting people’s battery life. We have fixed the issue and Messenger should be back to normal. The issue was solved on our backend so no need to update the app. Thank you all for submitting reports. Reinstall Messenger here.
Hi Reddit I'm an engineer on Messenger for Android. We're tracking the battery drain issue and are currently try to find the cause. If anyone experience excessive battery drain wants to help out we'd highly appreciate "Reporting a Problem" with "battery drain" as the issue.
If anyone is familiar with taking Android bug reports, stack dumps, or logs, please PM me or directly email [email protected]. Thank you so much for your help!

Not sure if this is really fixed now, but I just installed Messenger again and I will be monitoring the apps battery usage.

Let us know! I really do like the app and it's handy. In fact, for a few weeks I went all in with facebook and installed facebook Home and used Messenger strictly as my texts and fb messages. It really does work well and chat bubbles are fun and useful. I wish I could integrate Chatheads with hangouts.

Well, as I said earlier today, I had re-installed the app and from what I can tell so far the battery drain problem really seems to be fixed. In the last 5 hours - with the app installed and running the background - battery on my phone went down by 8%. Just a day ago, within those same 5 hours the Messenger app would have drained battery by ~70% easily. If anything changes I'll let you know.

I noticed this the other day too out of the blue. Uninstalled it for now, can message within the Facebook app.

Donot update lolipop...

My friend got update to lolipop 5.0.1 he ruined his phone battery life..total screen on time 3 hours just
my 4.4.4 kitkat give me this battery life almost 6 hours withour powersaving mode
here is proof

I'm getting 6hr or more with average use on Lollipop 5.0.1

Lots of people who updated, have a little bit less battery runtime with lollipop then with kitkat. I think using "ruined" is a lil over the top. It's a bug in Lollipop (no need to prove your statement) and is on the Nexus and HTC devices too. Still getting easily a full day on a single charge

I can't wait for the update. I'm getting 3 hours SOT with 4.4.4

@Lyrah battery life seems good lol...that is almost the same I am getting.

Over all poorer battery life with lollipop but still not to the extend of "ruined my phone". It is still a good update.

There are always sissies that want to complain. Nothing wrong with lollipop. And don't compare it with kitkat that is using a custom kernel probably

I don t think 2 hours SOT down on non root phone is acceptable update.

It's his personal bug. Samsung never said to him, flash with odin. So don't complain if he is using a unofficially tool. If you do use odin, always wipe your phone or life with it.

Yeah, lollipop destroyed my battery life too, down to 3 hours SOT if I'm lucky, before it was 4:30-5ish hours

Question is: Have you done a factory reset or not? If not, you can complain all day long.

So battery usage for person A compared to person B in an uncontrolled unscientific test....and it "ruined his phone" ?
OK.....

As usual many unhelpful comments. Try turning off wifi when not required. I have the problem and it's much improved by manually turning it off. There appears to be a bug randomly affecting users. Mine was actually fine for the first 3 or 4 days then one day it died really quickly. Wifi was the culprit.

This is what I get with LP. Much worst than KK. I have done full wipe after update N910c

People get an update they've been anxiously waiting for and as a result play with their phone more. Then they complain the battery life is "ruined".
If you're rooted you need to do a couple of things.
Give the new ROM a day to "settle down". This is also for you so that you fall back into normal usage habits.
Then charge your phone to full. Wipe battery stats. Discharge all the way to empty then charge to full again.
You'll get a lot more battery life if you do that each time a new ROM is flashed.
Lastly, calm down. Put down the sky-is-falling megaphone.

I'd also like to add. I can't help but laugh when I see the screen shots as "proof" when the app usage list shows Facebook, or a game, or some other third party app as the culprit. Oh But it's samsungs lollipop updates fault Yeah?

You're a joke and as old as your advices are. I'm not rooted. I use FB for 5 minutes and it stays connected as all apps that use Internet.
They stay connected even if you use them for 1 minute.
Also even if I didn't wanted to have FB it comes preinstalled.
I'm no child and my use pattern is the same as KK.
Stop being an smartie and if you have no real solution to a problem don't comment. Unless it hurts your loved one, Samsung, which no one said was it's fault.
It's just the buggy 5.0.1.

Whatever you say bro. I told you how to fix it. Sure it's old advice but no one seems to do it. And it's a sound practice that has solved nearly every battery life issue I've had with any phone.
And i wasn't speaking to you specifically, just commenting on a general pattern I see with battery complaints. But I see now your screenshot shows Facebook as the top app. So maybe you thought I was talking to you alone. I replied before I even got to the last page.
But funny, you only used it for five minutes and it's the top app. Hmm...so sort of makes my point stronger about a 3rd party app sucking down battery life eh? More reason to root and dump the bloatware.
And sure, your usage behavior remained firmly rooted in stone with a brand new update. whatever you say.
And my love for Samsung? Please I've got iPhones, htc, motorola.... It's the same overblown complaining in every manufacturer's forum.

If you have not done this please do it, Go to settings-wifi-Advanced-Always allow scanning, uncheck if its checked & report back, this is for you & OP both.

Whatever you say bro. I told you how to fix it. Sure it's old advice but no one seems to do it. And it's a sound practice that has solved nearly every battery life issue I've had with any phone.
And i wasn't speaking to you specifically, just commenting on a general pattern I see with battery complaints. But I see now your screenshot shows Facebook as the top app. So maybe you thought I was talking to you alone. I replied before I even got to the last page.
But funny, you only used it for five minutes and it's the top app. Hmm...so sort of makes my point stronger about a 3rd party app sucking down battery life eh? More reason to root and dump the bloatware.
And sure, your usage behavior remained firmly rooted in stone with a brand new update. whatever you say.
And my love for Samsung? Please I've got iPhones, htc, motorola.... It's the same overblown complaining in every manufacturer's forum.

I'm chilled. I don't want to root just to get rid of bloat that shouldn't had been there in the first place.
And my usage has remained rooted in stones as you say indeed. It's just an update which should had never been pushed with so many bugs.

Thanks man. Just unchecked it and I'll let you know. This sound much more reasonable to be sucking down battery life.

with lollipop I have one houre more SOT (7 hours, 6 with KitKat) and I am very happy with the update!
