Calibration Info ?

Hey,

I'm currently using a new XT1053 and I just got it a month ago. I don't think I'm getting really good battery backup. I've tried the "use device till dead" & "resurrect after full charge" method, but i don't think its working as I'm currently on stock. My stand-by time is really good but the device charges up completely from 30% - Charged in about 45mins - 1 Hour and I find this fishy. Is this normal? Could you be kind enough to point me in the right direction as to calibrate my device? How do you guys maintain good health of your battery?
[Moto X General] sourlikealime:
gGuys, just tell me why most of your wifi usage percentages are so low? mine always freaking eats through the battery even though the phone is 10ft from the router. It has become so bad that i just leave wifi off at home. Too bad my cell standby is just the same battery hog as wifi. Iam in a good reception area but it still shows about 30-40% at the "time without signal" and it really affects the battery life. Even after a factory reset. It feels like sophies choice over here...

Usually at the end of the day i get 1,5 to 2h screen on time, this can't be the real deal, there must be something iffy.
[Moto X General] :
5ghz has been known to cause issues. If that's what your on, try 2.8.
[Moto X General] sourlikealime:
I am on 2,5ghz, i tried 5ghz as well to compare results, still the same.
[Moto X General] :
If you have a chance to use another router for a good long time, you'll be able to see if its your router causing the issue. Which it could be.

If it's the same, then a factory reset may help, or better... Reflash your firmware. Fresh start.

That's all I can think to try. ?
[Moto X General] sourlikealime:
Maybe I could try that, hopefully I can get my hands on another router, but I should give that a try [emoji4]

So does no one else get a significant battery drain from cell standby with LTE? (problem occured first when I switched to a LTE plan, it really struggles to keep a good signal and hops back to HSPA very often. And trust me, LTE reception is perfect at home, I checked with two different LTE data sticks on my laptop)

Googling my problem didn't solve anything unfortunately [emoji20]
[Moto X General] FirePsych:
I get longer battery life on wifi at home than I do at work. Both on 2.5, so I would agree that router or network issues might be a factor.

I find little difference between wifi and 4g battery drain in standby, but VZW has pretty good saturation where I live and work and that makes a big difference.
[Moto X General] peterpressure:
Just purchased a new 2013 Moto X

Was sick of swapping batteries in my G Nex. Was swapping like 6 a day!

I use the screen a lot.

Anyways, not overly impressed with the Moto X battery life. Getting like 5-6 hours of screen time?

Losing 10% every 30 minutes of screen time...

Note: I never use WiFi
[Moto X General] :
5 to 6 hours screen time is above average. ?
[Moto X General] Ciebiada:
Wifi is also the highest drainer for me. Do you have EU retail by any chance?
[Moto X General] sourlikealime:
Yep, XT1052
[Moto X General] vitoski:
Same here. I have retail GB XT1052 and WiFi is the highest drainer of the battery life...

When I switch to mobile data I have around 0.4-0.6%/h drain. With wifi it's around 1%/h.

ugh, battery life has been horrific recently. considering going to ART now.
[Moto X General] Po0yAn:
Is this battery life acceptable for the stock 4.4.3 none rooted? How can I fix the 1% bug?
[Moto X General] AlanRubio:
I think its pretty bad, I used to get this kind of battery life and saw this thread with all of those people getting above 3 or 4 hours of on screen on time when I barely got to 3, and I did a research and found that maybe my battery was not calibrated so I downloaded an app call battery calibration(it has an android as its icon, but you have to be rooted) and after following the steps of this app, I get over 4 hours of on screen on time. I suggest you root your moto x, it really is worth it.
[Moto X General] csytracy:
does the app really work?
[Moto X General] sourlikealime:
short update on my side:

i did another wipe through the moto recoverry and before even setting it up i let it drain completely and recharged the phone without switching it on, then i set it up fresh without automatic restore and hear hear, i DO have 2,5 to 3+ hours of SOT (at least today and yesterday) without changing my setup from before. maybe it really just needs a fresh start from time to time. i will keep an eye on it how it develops but so far i am a bit happier again :D
[Moto X General] yasser_fernandez:
Just confirming

I have been reading this post since its early beginning. I have been posting as well. I thought that the community has a common idle comsumption mark for non rooted (GPS off....and all that know stuff off) of near 1% maybe a bit more o less.

Now you guys are talking about 0.4-0.6% with Data ON? Did I miss something? Are you already on Lollipop with any tweaked kernel?

This is an important thing to post.

With 4.4.4 unrooted, wich mean not removing the few "bloatware" or unnecesary running services, that is a HIGH mark.

Please give more details about this.
[Moto X General] IceWilly:
Can any of you veterans post information about battery life and any tweaks/root apps/tools that will help to optimize it? I have also posted this in the all moto links/guides thread, so hopefully whatever information is gathered can be placed somewhere easy to find.

Seems like battery calibration is something that plagues this model, for one thing.

[Moto X General] IceWilly:
Thanks. I am familiar in general with Android battery optimization, (greenify, etc) was more concerned with specifics to MotoX. I know from following the droid turbo threads that the Moto Voice/Display suite can get carried away with idle usage, but that is technically the "newer" version of those apps as compared to MotoX 2013 (unless they have updated them), so I wasn't sure if there was feedback buried in this thread about specific features that might be the major culprits (proximity sensors or voice command listening, etc)

Thanks for the links! I will check them out
[Moto X General] :
The only moto features I ever left not frozen were active display and touchless control. They don't tend to use much juice.

And everything in that thread I linked is universal advice. There's nothing special to talk about really with X. Custom X features and apps are bloat, like any other manufacturers proprietary apps. Freeze anything you don't use.

Other than that, everything of use to maximize battery life is covered in the thread I linked. ?
[Moto X General] Ciebiada:
This cannot be a coincidence guys. Maybe if we flashed a different firmware? Although I've tried requesting the unlock code and I couldn't.

[Moto X General] droids@m:
No no no u got me wrong I switched back to Art IMO battery life in ART is like double that of what I get from Dalvik...
[Moto X General] jco23:
Ah. Yeah, I tried ART yesterday, didn't notice a difference in battery life.
[Moto X General] droids@m:
For me when I am on Dalvik drain is like 10% and hour if I have Dalvik I go crazy tweaking with xposed maybe that was causing the drain happy with ART..........
[Moto X General] alexhdkn:
Do you experience any battery drops? or times when the phone recharges itself?
[Moto X General] jco23:
Quite often I notice the battery level increase throughout the day.

So last night, I decided to run the battery calibration app. We'll see if it makes a difference.
[Moto X General] droids@m:
Wow.... Finally was able to see 5+sot... The small increased bump was during data transfer maybe 4%....

10 hour + screen time

I was reading an ebook on my phone. Later when I got a message for low battery, this is what I saw.

Woah! Did not expected this amazing battery life.:D

Pure stock, locked.

Love my Moto X :D
[Moto X General] :
Ebook reading is nearly the same as just leaving the screen on and walking away. ?

Yes, you will get great SOT..... CPU is barely doing anything. Especially with brightness lowered.

Nice! ?
[Moto X General] alexhdkn:
dude, your battery is gone

you stopped having small bumps or descents?
[Moto X General] polar775:
im in the same boat.. upgraded from Gnex to 2013 X

getting 3.5 - 4 hours of SOT consistently..

i also love the standby time on this phone, it basically plays dead when its asleep :victory::victory::victory:

id lose 15-20% on my gnex overnight no matter which rom/kernel/tweak combination i did...and it was nowhere as smooth and as stable as this phone
[Moto X General] Jooosty:
So far so good! Compared to my HTC One M7.

I can hit four to five SOT
[Moto X General] eeshlikhith:
Anyone thats rooted, can you download AppOps from Google Play and deny wake for GP services? Some 2014 Moto X user claims to have gone from 2-2.5hrs SOT to upto 6:50hrs SOT by doing that. I haven't rooted but if this works for us then I might pull the trigger and root. Note that I have GP services in my top battery stats so this should technically work for me. Please report back!

[Moto X General] droids@m:
I am using it since the day one I have rooted it works but the difference is not that much as you would expect you can get 4+sot easily
[Moto X General] DaRkRhiNe:
Any other settings you guys use?
[Moto X General] droids@m:
Yeah just install that and you will be able to iron all the unwanted things that run...for example I hate when the Nova launcher vibrates when u drag and drop disable the vibration for the Nova launcher on the AppOps like wise you will be able to do alot with other apps too...
[Moto X General] DaRkRhiNe:
And do we lose any functionality by not allowing wakelock for GP?
[Moto X General] droids@m:
Yeah if u mistweak it ll happen probably.....U disable the Location services in the Google play service none of the google Apps like maps or My tracks will be able to use the GPS you have to be careful in what ur a doing
[Moto X General] eeshlikhith:
for someone who gets 1hrs SOT with 12hrs total and 25% remaining for just Whatsapping and Webbrowsing.... I need it.

I have no idea why this is happening. I used to get 4.5hrs for about 23hrs total in the beginning which dropped to 3Hrs with 17hrs total to this.
[Moto X General] jco23:
what bothers me is that the battery life can be greatly inconsistent. some days are drastically better than others. with this phone, I fully expect to get 24 hours off battery with at least 3 hours of SOT. and that is with everything left on - we shouldn't have to turn certain aspects on/off or install any 3rd party apps to get the phone to last through the day.

also, we (posters on this thread) have gotten away from disclosing details about their phone's setup when reporting battery life. for example, yesterday, I got 3+ hours of SOT before the battery went down to 1% - below are my details:

carrier: VZW (maryland)

off charger time: 14 hours

wifi: on all the time (about 12 hours connected to wifi)

mobile data: set to Global and on all the time (about 2 hours connected to mobile data - no wifi connection)

bluetooth: on all the time (and connected to Moto 360 watch)

location services: on all the time

touchless control: on

active display: on

google now hotword detection: on

GPS: battery saving mode

root: yes

unlocked bootloader: yes (although this REALLY shouldn't make a difference, but I have noticed worse battery life after unlocking - could be due to after a reboot, the system does not revert back???)

system partition: DALVIK

battery enhancing apps enabled: greenify (although I read that there was an update to the app which fixed a battery drain issue???) - i have most 3rd party apps greenified

wondering if I need to disable google wallet?

of course, a significant issue will be actual phone/app usage as some apps use more resources than others. for example, some of my games like Pai Gow poker and Rummy Fight do not require a lot resources, and I could run those all the time with minimal battery impact. comparatively, my Scrabble app does require a lot of resources, and always kills my battery.

the only other thing I can think of is perhaps how I charge my phone at night. I currently have it plugged into the same USB socket as my Moto 360 - so I've got 2 devices fighting for the same charge.

so folks, going forward, when reporting your battery life, try to include some details.

thanks!

Just got home from a 6 hours trip through a zone with pretty bad signal, reading some fan fics over my data connection, since I loaded just text I got away with loading a new page whenever I got signal, but the screen was on like 2 thirds of the time as shown on my screenshot, plus chatting over SMS/whatsapp/LINE from time to time.

Phone is still going strong, so I'm damn happy with it if you ask me.

Battery life over time

Hi all

New to the Moto X and figured this thread was where I should start. I'm inheriting my wife's Moto X that is just less than a year old (and still under warranty). It's straight stock (XT1053) and for now, I have not intention of unlocking bootloader and rooting. I'm trying to get a good read on what my battery life should be like. I've been using the phone for about two weeks and the best I've been able to muster is around 3 hours Screen Time with about 15 hours total battery. I'm not a real heavy user, but do have my Gmail, work email set to push. I do not have Facebook installed anymore as read it's a drain on battery. I'm using T-Mobile, and my signal is usually 3 or 4 bars most of the day.

I've got about two weeks left on a warranty for this phone and wondering if I should request a replacement. Today was particularly rough. About 12 hours run time, just over an hour screen on and only 19% battery. Hardly used the phone at all. I've tried turning off GPS/Location, as well as wifi scanning.

Is there anything else I should try before attempting a warranty replacement? Is my battery life where it should be. I'm not expecting anything amazing like 6 hours of screen on, but would like to be able to get through a whole day with 2-3 hours SOT after 16-17 hours total run time.

Thanks

NIck

I haven't seen too many people using the newer lollipop roms for our moto x. I was really wondering how the battery life compared. That being said, I decided to try it out myself and share

This is literally my first day using the liquidsmooth variation (I think they're all pretty much the same at this point). I don't use an alternative to active display or touchless countrols, because I have a moto 360. Granted, I didn't use my moto 360 today, so I'll be sure to post a screenshot of my battery life with lollipop and the watch being used another day. I do use greenify and a few tasker tasks to conserve battery. I used them with success on kitkat so I don't see how it wouldn't help now. Not too shabby I think. for the first day

One thing I did notice was the 1% battery bug still existed and my phone's still at 1% for quite a while now...

I've got something draining my battery, android.backuptransport. I turned off Back up my data in Settings. I am not sure what else is using it. I have photos back up on charge only but I turned it off completely to see what happens. What else can it be?
[Moto X General] :
Never heard of such a wakelock and searching Google wasn't helpful.

I'd say it's an app or app setting causing it.

Really, I'd reboot and see if it returns, and if so.... A factory reset may be a good next step. Backup anything you want kept and move off device, to be safe.

Next step would be returning to stock completely fresh.

Unless anyone comes along with an idea, but again... Never heard of this wakelock, so finding more specific help may be tough.

Good luck!
[Moto X General] zed011:
Can't figure it out. I have photo back up off and it's still android.backuptransport waking the device often. I have already rebooted my device with backup off in Settings. Anyone else have a clue? I have now disabled Google Back Up Transport in Settings > Apps , I'll see what happens.

UPDATE: Still showing up in WLD even when I disabled it. Not sure why. It's still waking when it's been disabled.

Hard reset in 1% of battery to calibrate and improve battery life

I have been reading this theme since long time ago, and my Moto X just reached 3hours on screen and many hours turned on (15 or 16 in best or cases). But one day (i dont know why, maybe because i charged my moto x with car charger many times in a day) it just reached 2 hours at maximum (all this with Lte, 1 mail, facebook, whatsapp, youtube, gmail, and many other things activated) so I got tired and I decided to hard reset it (i cant root or install a custom recovery because i cant unlock my bootloader) when it was at 1% battery (risky, i know, but i couldn't "Wipe battery stats" because cant install custom recovery) so i can "calibrate" the battery.

The results were really good. This was the procedure I followed (all this from my ideas haha, if I could erase the battery stats i would have done it, but i cant):

1) Hard Reset at 1% (as you know, there is like a "bug" that makes that your Moto X can be with 1% battery for a good time and mine had that bug, so do this at your own risk and back up all your data of course)

2) When it turns on at the first time, turn it off normaly (before configurating anything) and charge it until 100%

3) When it is at 100%, without disconnecting it, turn it on, once it is on, disconnect it

4) Dont update anything and dont install any important app (like facebook) (I installed whatsapp only because it was urgent for me), just use it with lte data, and be careful because when you turn the wifi on it updates apps automatically (This consumes battery really fast and the cellphone may descalibrate). Use it until it turns off. (At this step I got 4hours on screen and 18hours turned on at, as you can see, it is not the maximum you hear at this page, but it is more than the 3hours on screen that I got at the beginning)

5) Now charge it again until 100% and begin to install all the app you use gradually, for example today (at this step) I installed Facebook, twitter, updated important apps. BUT!: I didnt activated: Moto voice, moto security, google +. I have got today (at this step) 2hours on screen and 11hours at 50% device turned on and I think that I will reach 4hours until the cellphone dies.

Tomorrow I will activate moto voice and I will see how goes battery life. I think (if you dont think that those specs are important) that if you bought a cellphone with Lte, smart notifications, moto voice, you should use it and dont "deactivate everything to reach the more battery life". Of course that while more battery life you can get with these options activated, it is better.

So I invite the people who doesnt reach the famous 5hours on screen (I just got 2:50 hours or 3 hours with luck when I bought my moto x) to try this. Give me your opinions.

Worst Battery Life on Moto X 2013.

I own a Moto X AT&T Version and its brand new. I'm getting too much idle battery drain. Overnight i lost 30% without even touching my phone. Someone please help. Screenshots attached.
[Moto X General] Konno_Yuuki:
First, turn on Battery Save (the switch in you screenshot tells me it's off). Since your phone is powered on, expect some amount of drain while you're asleep, especially if you're using the phone as an alarm clock. Also, make sure to reboot the phone every now and then. This will help prevent rouge processes from eating the battery (Usually after an app update). Lastly, you can disable any app that you don't use, but may start on boot. For example, I have things like Gmail, Google Play music/TV/Movies/Books, etc disabled since I don't use them. If you really want to save battery, then you can try something like Greenify to "hibernate" apps you use, but maybe not all the time.
[Moto X General] Emiliano55:
After reading some pages at this thread I'm more relaxed knowing I'm not the only one having those little up and down spikes in the battery stats, like if the phone had arrhythmia.

Its kind of annoying sometimes because I could catch the phone doing it some times, rising the battery meter (i have power toggles so I have the meter in my notif bar) by itself like 2 or 3% and then droping the same amount a few minutes later. Or, it could drop the amount later on when it has low juice.

Beyond that I have a good battery life, I can make 24hs and still get 50/40% left, with 2hs of screen used. So, no complains at all.

I have a brand new Moto X XT1052 that is Rooted and bootloader unlocked. Running lollipop (AICP) its getting pretty bad battery life. 1.5 to 2.5 hours screen on time with about 15 hour usage. I haven't ever touched 3hr SOT. Wifi is always on as is 4G/LTE and location services. Bluetooth is off. Only 1 google account and 1 Exchange account to push sync. Not sure why it sucks so bad!
