Battery on new OTA - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys just did the ota update. Now on trip in car and when plugging into car charger, the battery does not show as charging (lightning bolt through battery symbol), but the% in my battery app is going up,.so it is charging.
Anyone else seeing this issue also?

Actually the battery is not even charging. it is not the charger either, as the other two androidphones are charging. Only the atrix doesn't charge. Any ideas anyone?

Offtopic but can you comment if you have battery jumping issues with OTA. And also if you have high "phone idle" usage issue in battery like the rest of us in leaked version?

When I restart phone it goes up 10%..

Let me get that straight? You installed offical OTA update from Motorolla and you have battery jumping issue, right? How on earth they do not know about this bug?

LOL.....they know, they just don't care enough. Besides, who ever restarts their phones on a regular basis? (besides us)

there is no difference between the leaked OTA and the Offical OTA, so yes there is a chacne the battery issue is still there. dont let your phone die complete has you may not be able to flash a different sbf. AND WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO NOT FLASH ANY OFFICAL 1.83 OR YOU WILL HARDBRICK

Does anyone have a "fix" or idea why car charger won't charge atrix, but will charge an sgs2 and arc?
Also the battery is discharging at an alarming rate. Is there a method to fixing it or am I at the mercy of the customer friendly and over productive people at Moto (sarcasm)...

Battery issues

The other day my battery said it was charged but when I unpluged it, it said 98%. Today it did the same thing bit it said 96%. What can I do? Just clear the battery states or what?

needs calibrating with an app, through recovery or root explorer
plug and unplug till it stays at 100 then calibrate then need to go through a few full cycles, from 100 to completely dead
should sort out then
From my experience the battery will calibrate itself over time. It'll just take a bit longer.

What Rom are you using because if it's ported Rom for instance this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131782
then once your battery is fully charged...it will stop charging (prevent you from over-charging your battery)

it shouldn't do that...do battery collaboration
1) charge 100% go to recovery --advanced--wipe battery stats
2) drain that sucker all the way
3) charge 100%
if that dont work just reflash that rom...
I use 3 batteries with an external charger and I do not use calibrate nor do I wipe stats........it will correct itself no big deal,it happens to me every now and then

Is this while you're charging it via USB? I got this message when trying to charge it on my pc and I was doing too much stuff on the phone to allow it to charge.
Exactly what the message says: The Rezound can easily pull 500-800mA during sustained usage.
Download a battery monitor app from the market that tells your mA and charging method; I use Battery Monitor Widget.
My issue was my 1 amp AC charger was reading as USB plugged (which is only 500 mA rate). Diagnose that first.
Yes it was while charging and it then drained the battery within 10 minute's, oh and last night it died and wouldn't charge.

It's not totally impossible that they all could have an issue. Are you charging them using a charger and leaving them on it for extended periods of time? That's a killer for lithium ion batteries.

That could be part of your problem too. It's best to use an HTC charger for an HTC phone because they circuitry is designed to charge HTC batteries. It's best not to mix an match them. The amperage could be different.

Well I thought by leaving it on the charger till it turn green I unplugged it but the most it goes to is 70%,can't even calibrate it
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda app-developers app
It's been proven calibration doesn't help. I can even attest to that. Try letting the battery drain completely. Then charge it full while it is off. Then disconnect the battery cable and reconnect it and let it charge to green. Let it sit for 20 more minutes. Or charge fully and reboot your phone.

You need an HTC charger my friend. Charger voltage matters.

I've got the same problem. I bought the wife a tbolt off craigslist cuz she liked mine. It won't charge past 3900 mv. I can take my fully charged battery from mine and put it in hers. It'll show like 30 percent charge and 3900 mv on battery widget. Even tried a power mat in case it was a USB port problem to no evail. Different roms, differnet batteries, differnt chargers
If I knew what was malfunctioning I could change it out with a parts phone I have but don't know where to start
Extended batteries typically don't show the correct percentage. The thunderbolt wasn't designed for them so they don't always show correctly. Once it shows full reboot. After you reboot and charge to full do it again. Do it until you reboot AMD it stays the same. If it doesn't the battery is probably bad. You can check the battery condition in your settings about phone.

Battery drains too fast

Hey guys.
I have a sgs2 the g Model from europe. I am in australia now.since 2 weeks the battery drains very fast. I tried another battery and varius Roms.but its all the Same. My phone got very hot some days. Does anybody have an idea what might be the problem?
Thanks

I forgot. Its also charging very fast. :-/ ????
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda app-developers app
how fast?
tried charging it via usb port on a PC/Laptop?
I get 80% in like ~2h. I once activatet the fast charge script.but After i recognized the problem i wiped all and flashed other roms. Might be an Hardware Problem? Everything is working but drains too fast

I don't know autralian voltage, but 2 hs sound about right to me.
Try to find out what is that is draining your battery, what are you doing diffrently since you got there.
Try pluggin it to the pc/laptop, let it juice up and then see if it drops like when charged via AC.
I didnt change anything. Is it possible hat somethings wrong with the Hardware? I got 50 % usage by the display. But i set it to very dark. I dont understand it: (

Has your phone switch from 3G to H or H+?
Yes it switches to h and h+ sometimes. But i think its the same in flight mode.

Battery Discharging

As in, it gets to a certain percentage level and then plateaus? Or does it simply not charge up at all?
It only discharges when am using it while charging it but when am I leave it to charge on its own without using it, it charges very well. Any idea?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
Seems to me like whatever you're using or running while it's charging might be negating the charging taking place, due to the amount of battery it's taking to run it.
If you're on WiFi or something while it's charging, I could potentially see how the output/input in terms of voltage could become stagnant or even decrease. Obviously just a theory, but I would say the energy your phone is using to run the task (ex: WiFi) is the same or even less than what it's drawing for energy to charge.. depending on what you're running, of course. Therefore, if you aren't using the phone (thus you're not "pulling" energy), it charges fine.
I don't think anything strange is going on here, but I could certainly be totally wrong - who knows.
I use internet while charging but anyways thanks for that.
