those seem like great results to me especially since your phone was in 3g and 4g which means your signal was fantastic the entire time ou were on it. And i'm not to sure on how much streaming slacker drains the battery. Considering that time, nor the phone call time, weren't added to your OST (I don't think) it seems like the phone was in use for a substantial amount of time

I believe this to be true as well, I wonder whats going on with it. Something weird must be going on with battery reporting and this phone, because how it charges when off and when it is on are substantially different. The speed it does it and the rate that it changes during the charge seems different at different times during the charge.

I think those seem pretty good. We also much take into account how much power the always on is using. It could be using a base of .3% per hour for all we know. If that is true then your sleep percentages would be within the .1 to .3% you see on other phones. I personally would be happy with .6%, that would be like 5% drain over an entire 10 hour sleep period. If i'm trying to avoid that little of drain personally, i would just turn the phone off or put it in airplane mode. But thats just my opinion.
[Moto X General] phositadc:
I agree if it stays at 0.6% per hour, I'll be happy with that.

[Moto X General] ram130:
How drain you get in airplane mode because I never got below 0.6%
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
i never put it in airplane mode but i would expect to get below that personally. I know what things I would need to do to get to .1% per hour in airplane mode, but I am not going to do all of it. Someone posted a week or two ago of getting like 1% or a little more drain over 18 hours or something like that (the numbers im saying are wrong but it was something absurd) so we know you can get it down to that. I also bet running eclipse rom in airplane mode would get you down to below .6% per hour.
[Moto X General] xinchi:
no issue to use for one day for a single charge.
[Moto X General] mikewelch5:
Not bad and very pleased with my first day of a full charge. This was with lots of texting and Pandora streaming for around 4 hours.
[Moto X General] ClippinWings:
Had mine about 2 weeks... I FINALLY managed to kill the battery in one day yesterday(wanted to drain it and recharge with the phone off, overnight)...

BUT, that required finishing off the day with a 4 hour netflix session, screen brightness at 90%, with wifi off on a 1-bar LTE connection.

I normally end my day at +/-40% battery.

This thing is a beast
[Moto X General] dinnydindin:
ugh, how is everyone getting amazing battery life but for me, even after restoring it, I have to revert back to my ip 5s because the battery was so awful.
[Moto X General] 1454:
You either got a bad phone, or your in a really terrible service area. Or you have a rouge app that is causing you headaches. That's about the only three issue that could cause a terrible battery. For example, when I'm at work I get terrible battery life due to the concrete walls and being in the very middle of the facility. But when I'm at home I have very little drain. I can get 2-2 1/2 hours of screen time when at work but I get almost 4 being at home. Over the course of about 12-16 hours.

And don't compare your results to mine, as I'm on a s4.
[Moto X General] Jayrod1980:
OK... I finally got to play with one at best buy. Love the feel of it. Where the halves come together its a little rough but I would love to build my own on moto maker. The phone feels awesome in the hand. Hard to believe its the same size screen as the nexus 4! The non-pentile 720p amoled was nice actually but looked a but pixelated after using the n5. Definitely something I could live with. I didn't test battery life since it was a best buy display but it seemed plenty fast. Like I said before... My n4 was plenty fast too. Im trying to justify having two phones. I'll also have to get a nano sim and adapter since the n5 uses the micro.

Also for those that say the moto x crushes the n5 in battery... I don't know what people are doing wrong. Only thing not on is auto brightness for me and nothing else turned off or greenified or anything.
[Moto X General] Jayrod1980:
Can only do one at a time
[Moto X General] Jayrod1980:
Screen time
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
Looks pretty good to me. It seems that phones idle drain is minimal when on WiFi. But drains drastically when the screen is on. I'd expect that people that get better battery life with moto x probably aren't on WiFi all the time and perhaps use other services that cause the n5 to drain like it does with screen on even though the screen isn't on like streaming music. For me and the moto x, using the phone doesn't drain my battery much more than not using it really. But just a thought.
[Moto X General] barondebxl:
Battery life is fantastic
[Moto X General] Jayrod1980:
That looks more like the battery life I'd want! My posted screens are all mobile data though. WiFi is on only to aid location. I also streamed Bluetooth play music on high quality for a couple hours on that charge.
[Moto X General] barondebxl:
Your stats are excellent even if it was all WiFi only. I must say that the battery life here is pretty amazing. Question, which do u prefer between the N5 and moto x? (You can pm me if you can so we don't go off topic here thanks!).
[Moto X General] banboy:
What ya think ? Non root and stock
[Moto X General] Jayrod1980:
Well... Motorola supposedly not getting a sweetheart deal didn't prevent Motorola from getting KitKat fast. People are complaining like crazy about their Nexus not getting OTA before the X on Verizon. I'm fine with it... They got the stock image out very fast for the nexis people and I roll custom typically so OTA does nothing for me. Kudos to Motorola! I'm really torn. The device feels so good and has really compelling features, but the n5 has a few of its phone. Though the black version of the n5 feels better than my white, neither holds a candle to the soft touch texture and curved back of the Motorola. Plus you can reach everything one handed! I have a custom dev version for T-Mobile up on motomaker for $545... I just can't pull the trigger. I need to sell some stuff to get this phone. Battery seems equal to be honest from what I've tried though I acknowledge most people get great battery on motox and wildly different on the n5.

I'm confused, what nexus devices on verizon aren't getting 4.4 before the X?
[Moto X General] tjohnstone3:
I'm on the Verizon version and getting some not so good battery life. I'm pretty much getting a solid and consistent drain (basically a linear line when phone not in use).

Using GSAM battery monitor i'm seeing a lot of Kernel Wakelocks for the following (this is for 7h 9m 6s of phone use, 36% drain and 1h 18m 49s screen on time):

main: 2h 37m 45s

bam_dmux_wakelock: 1h 36m 54s

Is anyone else getting a lot of these wakelocks and basically seeing their phone drain at a constant rate like this? Actually using my phone (ie having the screen on) doesn't seem to really increase battery drain at all.

I've tried searching and I can't find any information on a 'main' wakelock.
[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
Looks like something's keeping your data connection active. Maps/Location always seems to be a wakelock starter on my GNex (don't have a Moto X... yet).
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
waiting to see the 4g comparison.... you are on verizon right?
[Moto X General] _MetalHead_:
I am happy to report that my battery life has improved significantly. I am averaging 5+ hrs of screen time and barely any idle drain. Last night I only lost 3% in 9 hours overnight which is just beautiful. I'm currently sitting at 75% with 19 hours off the charger and an hour and 15 minutes screen time. I'm a happy camper.
[Moto X General] rmead01:
I want greenify to take care of my idle drain but still no root. Lots of apps running in the background that I can't disable or remove.

everything else that's running is ok and i want it there; tasker, messenger, dropbox
[Moto X General] plasticmoz:
Did you do anything special? Or is this improvement just something that happened over time?
[Moto X General] ShamanicEnzan:
33 percent power used in 6 hours, 1:13 screen time (16.5 percent of use) 47 minutes of phone calls, 24.5 percent of use.

Not my normal usage though, I fell down some stairs and had to go to the hospital and call lots more people than normal.

Also first full charge.
[Moto X General] _MetalHead_:
All I did was complain a lot about it on XDA. I think my phone got the hint. :D

Kidding aside, I haven't done anything different between when I first got the phone and now. It seems to have just settled in.
[Moto X General] rmead01:
I bet a lot of the background services are longer initiating and merging. Now they are all caught up and don't need to constantly run.
[Moto X General] clovis_ll:
Here are my screenshot of battery life.. Today I tried running it on purely 4GLTE connection. No WiFi, GPS off, Bluetooth off.

Not sure if its as near as the 24 hour mixed usage that moto said but pretty good IMO...
[Moto X General] saywhat4118:
I'm happy.
[Moto X General] ShamanicEnzan:
I was like "Not bad" then I saw your screen time.

Holy balls.

My first charge went from 7 am til about 4am the next day, and that was with me trying to take the battery out by streaming for 2-3 hours. Couldn't get a picture since I had to reboot, although I'm noticing that the last 1 percent lasts forever. I will try to get a gsam picture today/tonight.
[Moto X General] _MetalHead_:
What did you do, leave your screen on and walk away for a couple hours?
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
what was your signal like during these times? Was the phone straining to get signal or were you in a decent reception area?
[Moto X General] srsly989:
Man, considering cancelling my Maxx I ordered and just picking this up. But teasing myself with that battery on the Maxx makes the X look like nothing. The X makes my DX2... well. 2 hours on screen time sent me down to 20% yesterday.
[Moto X General] jhnl33:
Yesterday was my first full day with it. I was quite impressed. 18 hours on battery took it down to 33%. About 1/2 of that was screen-on time cuz I was customizing and installing stuff. I don't think battery life is an issue at all with this phone.
[Moto X General] rman18:
The battery is good, but I doubt you had 9 hours of screen time :confused:
[Moto X General] hijackerjack:
I get 45 mins on my gnex lol.
[Moto X General] loldi:
First full charge/day with my Verizon Moto X:

so far: (4G all day)

8 hours 7 minutes on battery

2 hours 47 minutes screen on time

31% remaining, seems to be about what I got on my S4, not very impressed but maybe it'll get better.
[Moto X General] rmead01:
on par with S4 and not impressed? runs smoother, has a smaller batt. i'm happy with the battery coming from an S3 and n4
[Moto X General] Jayrod1980:
Verizon doesn't have a supported nexus device. People are mad that the super closed Verizon is getting KitKat ota on the motox before nexus 4, 10, and 7 are getting it over the air. Never mind that the images have been posted on the web for days. People just want someone to do everything for them. Good for Motorola to get your customers up. Current asap. If you change the system file in any way you won't get an it's for your nexus anyway. We should all be happy at least one company is pushing the newest version within a few weeks of release... And on the most locked down carrier in America to boot!
[Moto X General] alejovh1:
After the kit Kat update my battery seems worse, anyone notice this?
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
give it time to settle before making any judgments. phones can sometimes take days before they are running how they normally should be running.
[Moto X General] cabraswell:
Here is my best prior to the 4.4 upgrade. I was seriously impressed even though it was light usage. I didn't think to get a screenshot of any other stats.
[Moto X General] tejaskary:
I am also seeing high Android OS CPU usage and less impressive battery life since yesterday's update..

Not sure what time to settle really means from a technical perspective? Are you talking about battery calibration or something else? Don't understand how it relates to high CPU usage for Android OS
[Moto X General] dsimages:
Is it just me or is the battery saver feature not working. I can turn it on but then it turns off automatically after a few seconds.

Whats about the battery life in 4.4?
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
phones do crazy things when they first get new fw or first boot or whatever. They may run certain checks or updates or other things because of apps or so many different other things. Nothing scientific, but you can look around and see that it is true. It may get stuck doing something that causes it to stay running when it normally wouldn't. By settle i mean let the phone get into its own groove. Kind of like moving into a new house. Things need to settle in before its normal business. I can't tell you exactly what occurs, but it is just known that some times phones need to figure a bunch of things out before they get into normal working mode.

For instance, some people get crappy battery life but after not rebooting he phone for a few days or a week, there battery life gets substantially better. IDK why, just is.
[Moto X General] banboy:
So the new upgrade to 4.4 is useless n eating more battery ?
[Moto X General] jimmiet:
I think my battery is awesome! This is with 16% battery left btw.

[Moto X General] banboy:
How many hours on battery that you get till 16%
[Moto X General] exify:
my battery is terrible. it lasts through the day, but thats because i barely use it. 12-16hrs on with 1-2 hrs screen time. usually even less. can't for the life of me figure it out, and all the wakelock detecting apps dont work on kitkat :(
[Moto X General] jimmiet:
That was 13hrs and 43mins "time on battery" (sorry didn't take that screenshot) but "time on battery" is just a fluke if you ask me, it's "screen on time" that is important. If you let your phone sit without turning on the screen, I'll bet you get phenomenal "time on battery".
[Moto X General] banboy:
It's all good but what about battery save mode ? Before you post someone posted that the battery save mode is useless or can't be used. Is it true ?
[Moto X General] m2thedeep:
Turning off location reporting as stated on page 67 of this thread really helped my battery life. Make sure to turn it off again after updating to 4.4.
[Moto X General] jayboyyyy:
from my experience. i get similar battery drain with the screen on as i do with the screen off. Our screen pulls very low power to be used when on full brightness compared to many other phones like the iphone (which i think pulls almost 2.5x the power of the moto x, but that might be off). I think what you are doing while the screen is on is far more important on battery drain. Like i said earlier, my phone drains clearly more but pretty close to the same amount when i am using it as when i am just letting it sit.

battery saver mode only helps when it gets below 15%. It disable background data syncing and aggressively times out activities and data connection or something like that.
[Moto X General] banboy:
But could you do me a avor by trying it out on your kitkat 4.4 n when you reach 15% n turn on the battery safe mode . and is the battery safe mode is working or not . cause some of you posted that the battery safe mode isn't working after update to 4.4 on Verizon.

Neither do I... I consistently get 18hrs off charge with 4-5 hour sot with plenty battery to spare.

Occasionally play music will bug and keep my phone awake... that day, my phone was awake basically since it was unplugged, still got 2hours sot and 7 or 8 hours of charger before I realized what was going on, lol.

The only time this battery drains is while playing high end games.... Other than that, my moto x sips battery.

AT&T Moto X rocking rooted 4.4
[Moto X General] codygs83:
Finally got a replacement X. Other device was draining 1-2% in idle. Old one would drain 10-15% overnight with everything off. My first night with the new X off the charger and I lost 1% overnight with WiFi and 4g on.

Easily the best device I've owned. Both in terms of performance and battery life.
[Moto X General] ram130:

Yup 4.4. Sorry didn't screen shot it man. I had just received the device, charged to 100, dloaded and installed both ota updates the set it up before I went to bed. I had location services off, WiFi and 4g on. I have several system apps disabled such as email and live wallpapers and drive and books and whatnot..

My first tests with the old device I even put it in airplane mode overnight and still lost 10%.

Go to settings then Motorola device ID and unlink your account. Then reboot. That should tame it to half.

Looks like a lot of screen time and exchange service very high. I don't really see an issue.
[Moto X General] corywf:
Screen time is pretty typical of my use. Exchange service seemed like it was keeping the device awake. I installed Gsam and rebooted. I'll let it gather data for a bit.
[Moto X General] BrokenWall:
I am also noticing alot of issues with Android being pretty high on the list, lately I have been having issues with my screen on time being close to 2.5hours when I use to get 3.5-4.5 on average, and my usage hasn't changed.

I don't have the Motorola ID linked, Google Now is off, Wifi is Off during the day at work. I am close to reflashing the phone back to 4.2.2 and going through the rooting process again to see if it fixes the issue. I am not using any Exchange email at all.

On 4.2.2 I could use Google now, and still get great SOT.

Could I go back to the old 4.2.2 radio? if so what file is for the radio.
[Moto X General] corywf:
I am seeing the same thing for the screen on time. I am considering this as well but don't want to go through the trouble of downgrading. Do the touchless controls not work on 4.4? I can't get it to record when I try to set it up.

[Moto X General] prelives14:
I'm having questionable battery life, and I'm wondering what you guys think. A couple of days ago, I was able to reach 1 day and 48 minutes [3 hours and 45 minutes of SOT], which is pretty good--but not as good as some of you have seen. Wifi and location services were enabled all day, and the phone was set to auto brightness.

However, it got ugly yesterday. I was at 56% with only an hour of SOT and 6 hours and 45 minutes total. Again, wifi, location services, and auto brightness were on the entire time. Today seems to be about the same, too.

I find it odd that the battery life could change so radically within a couple of days. The only difference in usage is that I was located in another city about 45 minutes away on the first day. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
