The Atrix

One of the longer lasting batteries comes equipped with the Motorola ATRIX and people still feel like they don’t have enough battery power on their hands. The life of your phone’s battery will greatly depend on how you use your phone. If you rarely use the Atrix for anything other than making calls, your phone may last days before it needs to be recharged. However, if you prefer running your phone’s system for multi-tasking applications, high quality games then the standard battery will run out of power significantly faster. Any application or activity that utilizes location-based or internet services will take up a lot of battery power. It’s a good thing that there’s many other ways to use the phone with a longer lasting battery.

If you have just purchased your Atrix, you should know that your Motorola Atrix battery is not fully charged. Before you start using your phone, connect the charger to get the battery up to full. Once the battery level has reached full, keep using your ATRIX phone until it has no battery to run on. Refrain from recharging your battery even if it’s at 30% or less. A few charging cycles is all it needs to ensure that the battery is efficiently optimized.

If you have had your phone for a long time, you might want to adjust specific phone settings to save battery. First, adjust the brightness of your display. If your phone’s display is brighter, it’ll drain the battery faster. Also look into constantly closing your notifications, close applications after you are done with them, and turn off your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when you aren’t using these functions.

The Motorola Atrix also offers a “Battery Manager” feature. You can find this feature in your “Settings.” The Battery Manager offers two different settings that help conserve battery. This first is called “Auto Brightness.” This setting will darken your screen when your battery is low on power. The second setting is called “Data Timeout.” This setting will stop all background updates when you aren’t using your phone. You may also change your “Battery Profile.” The default profile is the “Nighttime Saver” setting. If you want to extend your battery life, you can choose the “Maximum Battery Saver” profile. If you choose the maximum setting, your phone will stop all updates and dim the display after 15 minutes of not using your phone. This will conserve battery power every time you clip your phone into your Motorola Atrix holster.

There are also applications that can help Atrix users save power. Apps, like the JuiceDefender, Advanced Task Manager, and Green Power Battery Saver, will make your battery last longer. You can also make sure that your battery is always charged by purchasing a few extra Motorola Atrix accessories, like a car charger. That way, you will be able to charge your phone anytime it begins running dangerously low on power.
