First off, you have an unlocked bootloader. So if you are on AT&T or Verizon, then you are out of luck. Also, you have to be on 4.4, and not on 4.4.2. Rob43's Kernel only works with 4.4 right now. You can find it here:

Honestly though, you'll get great results with just using Greenify, and Apps Ops to remove your bad wakelocks.

You shouldn't have a problem. I know I posted this screenshot before, but it was a few pages back. This was over 29 hours of use, with the phone not on charger the whole night while I slept. The 2 "always on" things that I disabled was Moto Assist and Touchless Controls.

If you're just looking to get through a 16 hour day, you should have 3.5 hours screen time easily.
[Moto X General] :
So....I've averaged 30 hours plus with 5 to 6...got as high as 7...hours screen time.

The past few days I've enabled location services (first wifi/data only....then GPS added) and I've been using auto brightness...vs lux ..set to 40 percent Max brightness.

My results. Not too good. LOL

Auto brightness I'm going to keep trying. Seems to me on 4.4.2 now that auto brightness is much better. It usually stays mid to low brightness...with occasional high. On 4.2.2 it seemed to run way higher.

Location services. Thumbs down from me. I've lost about 2 hours screen time and several hours overall on my battery. I'm done with that experiment. Lol. It'll be off from now on unless I need it on. Then its a toggle away.

Here's my screens from right now. Yes...battery life is still good...better than some say they have. But no where near as good as I was getting with it off. And in 30 hours plus my held awake time was consistently less than an hour. Now I'm only 13 hours off charger and I am already over 2 hours held awake time. Its all coming from Google services ....and its 1700 plus times waking my device. Perhaps wifi/data only enabled is better....no GPS ....but either way....it stays off on my phone from now on....until I need it. One click and its on. That's an insane number of wakes....and I didn't even purposely use anything location oriented.

So if your battery times aren't great and you use location services and keep it on....I'm sure its a big part of your problem. Maybe not the only issue....but part of it. ;)

Are this stats normal?

A lot of awake time?

The only thing besides using the webbrowser and some facebook is using car home ultra for ~2½ hours (with all battery savings settings active)

EDIT; Location on high accuracy (because of navigation and assist), android device manager disabled (using motos thing), live wallpaper, daydreams, face unlock, play games & picasa disabled.
[Moto X General] :
Listening to music keeps phone awake. And not too familiar with the car app...but betting it can too. Do a full battery cycle without music or car app and see how your awake time is.

Also if you see my post above yours....location services can keep you awake too. :)

Without question then its location services. If you need/want it...then your held awake time will be higher...and some battery life decrease. Not a lot.....but too much for my liking. ;)

Can I switch to "OFF" for the apps which are "Not in Used"?

You can try. I'm not sure if its location services itself that causes the wake time....or if its a combo of it and apps you have installed.

[Moto X General] weldawadyathink:
So I understand that there is a fight here as to whether or not bad signal affects battery life, and I was skeptical, but here is my recent experience. I usually get plenty of battery life, but I went to a choral event, and spent all day where I got about one bar 3g. Not enough for data, but plenty for calling. I went from 95% to 30% in 3 hours. The only change for me over normal usage was location services turned off (usually is on), I used my phone LESS than normal, and I had bad signal. Those of you who say signal doesn't affect battery, explain that.

I had terrible battery life, I had problems to get a whole day without a charge and I don't use my phone as much as some of you, only about 2-3 hours of SOT. After reading whole thread (1800 posts...sic...), I turned off WiFi always scanning, and Google now, and now I'm more than happy...

I'm using EU 4.4.2 firmware with TMO modem files (I have XT1053), location set to device only, Android device manager on, blue tooth off, NFC off, all moto services off, Google now and touch less control off, WiFi all way scanning off, WiFi always on and I use mostly WiFi in my home and work. I use my phone in europe (Poland) so no lte most of the time 3g and HSPA. I don't use Greenify, only AppOps from Xposed. I didn't froze any apps. Once I left battery to full drain, don't know if this helped but I'm mentioning everything I did.
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
Not sure about "most” but I had location, lots of chat/text apps, and several exchange, push, and polling email accounts running. Still get 40-60hrs w/ 2+hrs SOT with the tools listed in my previous post.
[Moto X General] :
Extremely weak signal, where your phone is struggling to find any signal...yes...that will eat your battery for sure.

But man....your phone doesn't sleep. You have over 12 hours held awake time. That alone will destroy your battery. See what is holding you awake. That is your particular number one problem. :)

Ummm disable Location Reporting in location settings. And leave location history on then reboot. That will fix the high wakelock your getting.

I don't really have any raw stats, but I would say after a few days experience, mine is pretty good. I was very hesitant changing phones as I was coming from the Razr Maxx where I was spoiled by stellar battery life, however his has held up better than most of my friend's and families. Every day I've made it through without having to frantically charge it in the middle of the day. This includes streaming music and actively playing games on it for some period of time too. I'm very happy with this purchase!

Looking at your screenshots it seems Google play store was killig your battery and WiFi was quite active. Play store occasionally kills my battery and I think it has to do with the auto updates of the play store itself in background and not closing itself. Yes radio reception can hurt battery significantly but I don't think it hurt you much. At my apartment I have terrible terrible reception. Also, I am seeing slightly improved recpetion with my x over my note3, but I still completely drop signal occasionally even with high expectations of Motorola's renowned radios. BTW, at work in my office my note3 doesn't fare well though I rarely drop completely out. Actually kind of a downgrade from note2, but my note2 was hspa int'l version whereas my note 3 juggles extra LTE radios. My moto x has rarely dropped connection and I get decent speeds now in our parking garage located office. Very happy with reception on moto x, and Motorola and Nokia phones tend to not vertically drop battery percentage with poor signal as much as other phones.

That seems to be a lot of wifi. I am not downgrading it though. I myself was hoping to creep up on 6h SOT without wifi. I just pulled 6h+ SOT with 20% battery left on mostly wifi. I imagine I could've done a lot better if sorry ass google hadn't deprecated web view along with text reflow and invert and I was able to invert naked browser. My best time without wifi was 5.5h SOT and letting the battery die. I think my battery has leveled off finally and can't wait to see if I can do the same but with about 20% battery left at work where I mostly just use my mobile data.

I get on WiFi whenever I can, I don't have unlimited data so no reason to be using it. I think more of it is due to the 25% brightness that I use, which is enough for me except outdoor.

I just wanted to know what other people are getting as their average battery drain? Like on a nomarl day with LTE i get around 3 mintues of screen time for every 1% of battery. This is completely stock not rooted.

Don't have app ops. Using auto brightness now. Touchless is disabled in TB....along with every Moto thing (which I wouldn't use anyway) except active notification.

Location off. Google apps not syncing. I don't mind checking Gmail manually ...I don't get much.

How are you getting the device to sleep so much on Wifi? My device sleeps like a baby on LTE, but it wakes up all the time when I put it on Wifi (both at home and at work), even when I uncheck "Scanning always available" in Wifi settings.

Better than average. Above what I get with the galaxy s4 and just about on par with my HTC one, but it gets blown away by my G2
[Moto X General] eksasol:
I uncheck all the options in WiFi settings. The phone wouldn't wake unless you have you some programs that is running in the background.

I tend to disable syncing and run it manually. I also use Greenify to hibernate app to prevent them from running in background, it doesn't need root.

Slightly off topic, but... I just got a new Macbook Pro. Since when are laptops supposed to get better battery life than phones? Not to mention a powerhouse of a laptop...

Laptops are much bigger than phones and can fit much larger batteries because of that.
[Moto X General] Squintz:
I could really use some help with my battery life. I've been reading this thread for a while. Initially, my Android battery life seemed stellar. I didn't really notice a huge change after the KitKat update. My phone is stock as well.

However, recently I started noticing a lot of Google Play Services crashes. After some research, I reverted background from Art to Davlik, but that hasn't seemed to fix my issue.

I disabled location history, and location mode is Device Only. Can anyone help me pinpoint what's going on? I really don't sync anything except for Google services, and HaxSync (once every 7 days). I recently rebooted, so GSAM might look a bit off, but this is the usage to what I'm seeing recently.

Thanks!
[Moto X General] :
I almost guarentee a big part of it is still location services. Device only setting is GPS. That will take a toll on battery, raise android os use and keep your phone awake a lot. Try a full charge and drain with location service completely off....then near the end take a couple screen shots. Remember too...Gsam resets if you reboot. So try not to reboot during the cycle.

Sent from my Moto X cellular telephone...
[Moto X General] Squintz:
I'll give that a shot.

I hope there's a fix for this, because I rely on location reporting often.
[Moto X General] :
Do a cycle with none. After...I'm pretty sure using wifi/data setting is better on battery. GPS has been a big battery drain on any phone I've used. Even when you don't think its doing anything.

[Moto X General] StormFreak:
So, while I am generally happy with my battery life of my new Moto X (VZW), something still seems off with my battery stats. I don't feel like Android OS should be using so much battery. It seems to only occur when I am on WiFi. I installed GSAM and it showed it as kernel usage. I am using the same apps/syncs as I used on my S3, and I never saw Android OS using so much battery. I have tried factory resetting and clearing cache, but the issue returns. Yesterday in a total charge I got around 16 hours of usage, with 2h 20m of screen time. It seems I should be getting better than this? I have seen recommendations to turn off all location services, but I actually use these from time to time. Are they really draining that much battery? Here is where I am at so far today. I have barely used the phone all morning other than my 20 minutes on the bus.
[Moto X General] :
Same thing....can you do a full cycle with Gsam installed...and don't reboot during. Then print screen it? Location service is probably not helping...but not as bad as you're getting. Something is probably keeping you awake a lot.

Thanks, will try both of these. I'm getting similar behavior to the previous poster. Except not as bad..

I'm not sure G+ is the culprit, but I'll probably uninstall it anyway. Unfortunately I'm not rooted, but really need to figure out how to solve the Google location service battery drain issue. I'm hoping 4.4.2 comes to Verizon soon, otherwise I'll root to fix it.
[Moto X General] okaban:
The first 3 days it did nothing else then collecting all data about phone's usage and my kind of habbits. After that period it satrated to work and it doubled battery time. Some of the features a bit annoying (reminders, for instance), but easily disabled. Highly recommended, just read everything it says after installing (it explains more or less every step)

[Moto X General] :
Much better....and people can disagree ....but I don't think battery life will ever be near its best with location services on. Period.

Especially with GPS on...either high accuracy or device only...they both enable GPS. It takes work for the phone to communicate with those satellites 100's of times a day....even when you don't think it is. Just look at gsams how many times waking device screen to see what I'm talking about. Google services on mine was 1700 times waking my phone one day....no exaggeration...and I barely have any apps even using location services. Lol. No Google plus either.

Location services is a nice feature on a phone for sure....but its always going to steal its fair share of battery life.

This was yesterdays. (odd that it says awake for most of the time but yet better battery life)

And today so far.

Something held your phone awake on that first screen shot. It never slept at all. Gsam will give you a better idea what and why. If your rooted, an even better idea.

Those screen shots don't really have enough details.

Try Gsam.

The second screen shot your awake time was much much better. Did you change anything in between?

What is this and what causes it to be high? This pic is from today just for reference. Yesterday this was at 42.7% with 80% drain. This is new. I had just got my X straightened out and now this is showing and battery life is not as good. The only thing I can think of is maybe a moto app. Had a bunch update the other day. Any ideas?

Edit... Not sure if this is the right place to post this but it may be part of my problem also.

Another thing that I notice is when I wake the phone, sometimes I see another screen fade away for a split second. I just unlocked my phone and noticed what looked like my phone app fading away. I have also noticed that when I back out of a app it goes to another app. Example: from home screen I access any app. After Im done I back out but it goes to another app. I have to back out of that to get back to the home screen. This isnt all the time but seems to be most of the time.

Sorry for the long post but this is frustrating. Can I disable the moto apps I dont use? If I can which ones?

Initially when I first posted in here, my standby battery life was terrible. After some pinpointing, while turning off Google location reporting helped, that wasn't the issue. Today is the first new charge with Google+ uninstalled and all location reporting ON (history off). Best battery life I've seen since the 4.4 update.
