I've had my Atrix for just over a year, I've always had pretty phenomenal battery life, I could get 2 days out of it with a bit of careful usage.
I had some issues with my phone, a dead spot on the screen, and force closes. So I sent it in for a warranty repair. It came back with a brand new screen, and was working fine for about a week.
Suddenly, overnight, my phone started to get hot, and the battery dropped from a full charge to dead in 3 hours.
I checked my usage statistics, and found that Phone Idle was at >75%. Normally, Phone Idle sat around 20%, and Display was using the most.
I tried a factory reset on my phone, which worked for a few hours, but it got hot and the battery drained in less than an hour once again.
I think there might have been a problem when they replaced my screen, because the screen-side camera no longer works at all, I can use the rear camera, but if I try to switch, I get a force close. Unfortunately the first time I sent it in was only a few days before my warranty expired, and now my warranty has expired, hopefully they will be able to do something if the actual repair is what caused the issue. (are there warranties on warranty repairs?)
I set it on airplane mode for a few days to see if it was an issue with data pushing or connection attempts, but I still had the battery drain issue.
My brother-in-law has an Atrix as well, so I think I'm going to borrow his battery for a few hours to see if I just need to replace my battery, I really don't believe this is the issue, batteries tend to last longer than a year before they need replacing, and my phone can go 2-3 hours and drop a few percentile, then suddenly will drain an hour or two later.
I also read that I should reboot my phone every time I unplug it due to a problem with runaway processes, so I will try that as well.
Has anyone else had this issue?
