Just wanted to give some comments with my experience:

I had a GSM moto x and then switched to a dev edition after about 6 months or so, and my battery life experience was pretty much consistent and identical. Always around 3 hours SOT, and 16-18 hrs total. usually an hour or 2 of music, a few calls, lots of texting and whatsapp and some browsing. I always had touchless/active on as well as google now and location. But I was also running Xposed with half a dozen modules and had disabled location access for most apps. ( including wakelock killer or on of those things). I always had a high 15-20% of Android OS on my usage.

Now i got my dev Ed replaced due to a crack on the side ( theres another thread about this) Not sure if the phone is new but it is in like-new condition. This time i set everything up, unlocked boot loader and rooted, but decided to wait before installing xposed. Day one I had twice the battery life as usual, 3 hrs of SOT and 50%. I was shocked and amazed, the battery life that everyone was always talking about! now its the second or 3rd day and Its still pretty great and I've been using it the same way, ( mix of wifi and LTE). Hardware differences aside, i want to narrow down which factors specifically were responsible for this huge difference? This time my Android OS is around 5% or less, and today it didn't even make the battery usage list! I am shocked!

Here are the differences which it could be attributed to.:

-I realized Google Now is off, and I wonder if this really made such a huge difference? ( I had location reporting off on my old phone) Leaving it off for now.

- Location is on Device only ( previously I used high accuracy but also tried device only on my old phone and it didn't seem to make much of a difference)

-Xposed is not installed ( do the modules really make a big difference? Gravity box, Xprivacy/appopsxposed, minminguard)

-using smart launcher 2 or stock launcher as opposed to Aviate, which I used on my old phone.

-the locate my phone remotely options are on and they don't seem to be affecting my phone at all. ( used to keep them off since everyone said they were part of the problem)

So I'm suspecting either xposed, Aviate, or google now (or a combination of them) were responsible for my high android OS usage and average battery life. I will try adding them one by one to see if it makes a difference.

If you have any ideas or suggestions let me know. Hope this helps someone!

Good one. Waiting for next post
[Moto X General] Johnny Wong:
[MENTION=4533667]vikramkhalsa[/MENTION], did you monitor your wakelocks before the new phone? That would be a good comparison also. Greenify and unbounce are must haves to long battery life IMO.
[Moto X General] :
Yes Google now can use a lot of juice. And definitely location on device only is far more battery friendly than high accuracy. Especially if you ever had high accuracy on while on a poor data signal.

But as said above, without battery stats from the before and after....who knows. ?
[Moto X General] vikramkhalsa:
I had battery stats from before but deleted all the screenshots cause I figured I won't be needing them since I don't have that phone anymore.

Also I forgot to mention I did have greenify before and all games,social and other apps were greenified. I also had unbounce but wasn't using it, instead I was using the wakelock terminator thing to control the nlp and location wakelocks.

Now I don't have greenify or wakelock terminator but have better battery life. So I'm wondering what could it be?
[Moto X General] :
Sometimes if you greenify the wrong thing, it will constantly keep opening...causing far more drain than leaving it alone.

Also....greenifying apps you use frequently, like social apps for many....same effect. More drain from constant loading into memory.

Greenify is best used on seldom used apps that like to run anyway, or apps that cause heavy drain on standby....like maps can, and some games.
[Moto X General] vikramkhalsa:
Interesting.. that might have been it! Thanks. I'm going to slowly add my stuff back and see what makes a difference. I also had a small magnet stuck to the back of my phone which I used for a custom car mount system. I wonder if that someone kept something awake and caused some issues. Although that wasn't always there...
[Moto X General] chrisp6825:
According to BBS, about 4-5% per hour, not much better.

For informative purposes, here is a bit on my current setup and usage..

Xposed is installed, with gravity box and a few others. Unbounce NLP as well, but without greenify.

Pandora and any other apps I notice hanging out and running when I haven't used them in a days time get manually frozen and defrosted before and after use.

Tasker is set to monitor a few profiles but nothing heavy. A cell-based location profile for work with the polling times adjusted to be more battery friendly.

Definitely no social apps. Anything that tries to update periodically (RSS reader) get forced to update only 4 times a day max, or else manually. Email is manual sync. Gmail may go soon.

I know xposed is keeping me from hitting constant 5hr+ screen times with 30hr+ battery cycles. But it's a trade off I had to make :/

---

BTW : this screen shot is after a day of listening to music at my desk, so that is why the awake time is so high. Wake locks are being watched and managed ;)

Hello, I hope you guys can help me.

I've post a while ago here and since then my battery life has been getting worse. I recently did a factory reset and I'm not getting good battery life. I upload some screenshots, could someone help me? I have seen in this post people getting great battery life but I really dont know how to achieve that. Here is some info on my device:

- Android 4.4.2

- Google Now ON

- Active notifications ON

- Touchless Control OFF

- Motorola Connect, Assist and ID OFF

- Don't have LTE

- Location and GPS OFF (I just turned it on like 10 minutes)

If I have forgotten something please let me know. Sorry for my bad English

EDIT: Please don't mind the GSAM screenshots I just realized those are wrong.
[Moto X General] vikramkhalsa:
Update:

Enabled Google Now and Got Xposed again, Android OS is still down to under 5%. So those weren't the causes of it being so high before. Could've been Greenify or Aviate.

But my Wifi usage is like 10% or higher, second only to screen on time. IS this normal? I have scanning always available off and wifi optimization on.
[Moto X General] marcelorepavan:
My battery life is very very very good! I will post a guide if someone have questions like me, about battery life.
[Moto X General] ECassinelli:
Yes, please. I don't know what do do, i will appreciate it if you can help.
[Moto X General] alexhdkn:
Not sure if it happens to you guys , but my moto x when it's under 15% sometimes the battery drops like from 8 to 3 or from 15 to 13, without any reason possible, also when im on a phone call and i am under 15% it suddendly drops to 3 % in 5 minutes, it is not normal right? i have bought it 2 months ago and this problem is driving me mad as the phone was brand new and i have worked a lot to get it

[Moto X General] KidJoe:
First, I would run the phone down until it powers off by itself. (play a movie, stream from netflix, amazon, hbogo, etc. works well to drain it faster). While off and "dead", plug it into the stock AC charger (or other 1A or more ac charger). Allow it to fully charge to 100% and let it sit for another 15 to 30 minutes. Then disconnect from the charger, and power the phone up, and repeat the cycle two more times.

After doing that, if the issue is still there, I would copy your data files (pix, videos, etc) to a PC, then do a factory rest. Install NO apps, do no customization. Just setup your email accounts. Run with it a few days and see if you still have the problem.

If you still have the problem, then call Moto or your wireless carrier, as you may have a defective battery or cell in the battery inside your phone and would need to seek a warranty replace/repair.

[Moto X General] melcali:
Happened to me. Was at around 15%, opened the phone app to check call history before I plugged it in then all of the sudden it just powers down.
[Moto X General] alexhdkn:
with heavy use you can get 5 / 6 hours of SOT, i think it's enough
[Moto X General] tnp9008:
I recently did a factory reset on my Moto X and have noticed that my battery life is quite a bit better. I'm unrooted with the stock ROM and my bootloader is locked. I am using Google Now with location services in battery save mode. I've got a fairly typical set of apps and am not doing anything to specifically make my battery last. Anyway I managed 4h 45m of SOT today and that included a fair amount of YouTube/Twitch watching on WiFi and mobile data.

Not sure what the rise in the graph means but I didn't charge it till now.

Before the reset I was happy to get 3h SOT.

I also have a Pebble that was connected and getting a ton of notifications today.
[Moto X General] sm753:
Battery life is terrible in the past few weeks or months. Granted I played of a bit of games today so that's expected. I don't have any other screens handy but even with the amount of gaming that I did. Android System/OS and Kernel is still way up there. Can't figure out why but Android System has been abnormally high lately.
[Moto X General] :
Nothing seems out of place. No, kernel and OS are not unusually high.

You have an hour of awake time, which is high for your total battery time... An hour per 24 hours is about right. Did you listen to music? Otherwise you have apps waking the device. Need root to see what though.

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

Ah... If you're constantly bouncing between lte and 3g, which according to your screens you are.... That will eat up battery too. Disable lte in weak lte coverage areas and see how it is.
[Moto X General] Pepper67:
My Battery Sucks

Hook me up. I feel like Im lucky to hit 3 hours screen on with my crappy moto x battery. Its been the biggest reason I wanted to replace the phone. Bought a oneplus only to have the screen stop responding to touch the first day I got it. Now they want me to pay $65 to ship it back for a refund.
[Moto X General] :
The X can have amazing battery life, if you setup for it and your usage style isn't a battery unfriendly one.

See post 2 in the battery help thread link in my signature. If you take the majority of the advice your sure to get far better screen on time and overall.

Now , if you have poor reception on data a lot, or have a wakelock Issue.... That's another story. ?
[Moto X General] Pepper67:
Thanks Ill try those things. Keep forgetting to turn off location after I use it. And never heard of greenify so Ill try that out.

I wasn't sure which part you meant here

After every install:

- I go into accounts/Google. Unchecked the things I don't want to sync. Usually I only have gmail, calendar and contacts checked.
[Moto X General] :
Phone settings. Click on your Google account. Stock settings, it syncs like 10 things. Only sync what you need. That's what that meant. ?
[Moto X General] Pepper67:
When I look at my accounts under settings theres no option to check for sync/unsync. Like when I click dropbox under my accounts theres only a remove option. Do you remove all those accounts or am I in the wrong place?
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
Google account not Dropbox account...
[Moto X General] Pepper67:
There it is, knew it was right in front of me but somehow invisible.

So when you unsync stuff will it still sync when you open the app?
[Moto X General] :
I can't say for sure for most of them... Gmail will by swiping down while in the app. I sync Gmail, calendar and contacts tho myself. But that is it.

But that's just me. ?
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
No it would't...
[Moto X General] Pepper67:
Sorry meant you can manually sync it when you open the app
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
No you can't...

After updating to 4.4.4 my moto x battery is so bad. Also i have installed greenify to close many apps including facebook etc. and even closed many google play services by android tuner but still overnight 30% of battery drain... now thinking to switch to cm 11 any suggesting plz.
[Moto X General] vaanus:
about 4 hours depends on usage

Hi,

My battery life is not so good too... Only 3h - 3h30 SOT

Only SMS

65 % data 35 % wifi

I don't know why.

It's wost today..
[Moto X General] maxou88:
I have many wakelock I don't know if is normal?
[Moto X General] :
4 minutes of awake time is not an issue. If you're getting a lot of awake time, it's from something else.
[Moto X General] 350Rocket:
I have read that certain services being greenified can cause more wake locks. Try just greenifying apps like Facebook etc that stay running in the background. I do that plus turn off WiFi and data overnight when not using the phone and I go from 100% to 97% in 9 hours.

I'm using a nexus 5 but I wouldn't recommend cm if your looking for stability and speed etc. Stick to aosp or stock. Running a lollipop rom now for the past few weeks and its way more stable than cm was. Lots of other people not happy with cm either.

This might help you guys out freeze all that garbage I have no wakelocks except a few banking apps which I greenified.
[Moto X General] anotherfiz:
This is why people should not worry about the battery so much. It takes multiple uses to perfectly calibrate it. Hell, last night my phone dropped from 20% to 12 to 5 in a matter of a minute after being on stable for 38 hours.
[Moto X General] mrbradeli:
How badly do things like Facebook and Google Voice affect battery life? I don't have them on any sort of scheduled sync, but I do get push notifications from them A LOT.

Google voice, not much. Facebook... I've heard it's bad, but I don't use it.

[Moto X General] bugsy:
How many of you with good or poor battery life are using your phones for music? I started out with pretty good battery life, but lately it has gotten much worse and I'm thinking it might be related to using my phone for music. Yesterday I did an experiment and did not use my phone for playing any music and I finished the day with about 50% left after around 16 hours of up time, with bluetooth and gps on and two push accounts. In total I had about 1.5 hours of screen time. The day before with essentially the same use, but with and hour of bluetooth music during my workout I finished the day at 15%.

I'm running the same test again today, but after about 7 hours off the charger I'm still at 80%. It seems like some background process might still be running after turning off the music, but I can't seem to find it using any of the battery stats tools.
[Moto X General] Rask40:
I hadn't yet used my phone for music - the only 'heavy' usage I'd be doing was using maps/navigation/bluetooth for about a half-hour total during the week.

Switched to T-Mobile last night, and as it stands right now, I've got 2.5 hours of screen time with 31% battery left - so I'm definitely agreeing with the folks who said that lack of signal is the issue with serious battery drain.
[Moto X General] Serious_Beans:
I have to leave all location based tracking off otherwise I got really high android os and Google services usage which drains my battery. The battery life is still eh even with that. I definitely need to do a factory reset and root (to freeze and greenify) but this phone should be getting great battery life already without that.
[Moto X General] picespedes:
How did you do it?? I am with your same problem here
[Moto X General] picespedes:
I cant find what im doing wrong :( please helppp
[Moto X General] _MetalHead_:
Have you rooted? I froze a TON of stuff in TiB and greenified everything else. Also went through with Autostarts and disabled a whole bunch of stuff. Nothing runs without my say so. I still have a night here and there where I lose more when idling than I'd like, but most of the time when my phone sleeps, it SLEEPS. Last night I only lost 2% between 1am and 9am. I average about 5.5 hrs screen time, but could probably pull of 7 depending on what I'm doing.
[Moto X General] picespedes:
Im not rooted yet, im still giving a chance to the factory settings. All the features of your phone are still working ok without the frozen stuff? I mean, would you reccomend it?
[Moto X General] striketrue:
Pretty happy with my battery life so far

[Moto X General] _MetalHead_:
Yep, everything works just fine.
[Moto X General] MajorTankz:
Anyone else getting high Android OS usage? I turned off all location settings.
[Moto X General] _MetalHead_:
You haven't read this thread at all have you?
[Moto X General] MajorTankz:
Oh yeah, pardon me while I go read all 34 pages of this thread...

I read the first few pages before I bought this phone. Searched already and got no answers why.
[Moto X General] _MetalHead_:
I wasn't trying to be a **** man, just pointing out that this entire thread is filled with posts about high android os usage and idle drain. It's a common thing, you're not alone.

I've rooted and frozen a bunch of crap and right now I'm at 76% with 1hr 34min screen time and my android os is only at 11% vs 53% for the screen. So it is possible to get it under control.
[Moto X General] EVOSerb:
Coming from galaxy nexus i have to say i pretty happy about battery life . ( those who have/used galaxy nexus know what i am talking about lol) it can easily last me 12 to 14 hours (i don't use 4G much)
[Moto X General] Aarongauntt:
Possible with sacrificing reasons why the phone was bought in the first place. Not knocking you, but I need my touch less control, Google services, etc. I've frozen a few useless things but idle drain is still annoying.
[Moto X General] d4mi3n:
Could you tell us what you greenify/froze? I did a factory reset and im still eating through battery at idle, although slightly less than before. Still average like 2%/hr :(
[Moto X General] _MetalHead_:
My google services work just fine. I only have touchless disabled because I don't use it. When I enable it, there is no noticeable added drain to the battery. I've made literally zero sacrifices and if I turned on touchless control and handed you my phone, you wouldn't be able to find a single thing that works differently on mine vs. a stock untouched one.

Give me a few and I'll post some screenshots of all my frozen apps. As for greenify, just go to town with it.
[Moto X General] terinfire:
Just got a brand new XT1053 Dev Edition on Saturday (two days ago). I have phenomenal battery life. I was out for about 12 hours, and even after 18 hours, I was still at about ~50% with taking photos, navigating, checking Facebook, IMs, etc. No crazy playing games, etc. My old phone normally would have lasted (with OEM battery) about 7 hours before being at 10%.

I didn't think I could migrate from my QWERTY slider keyboard (and I still miss it), but this phone is *really* amazing.
[Moto X General] mschumacher69:
What "QWERTY slider keyboard" phone did u have?
[Moto X General] terinfire:
Galaxy S Relay 4G. Had to buy the extended battery (4400 mAh) to make it last beyond a day (and it did work, but my phone was *so* fat). Seriously though -- Motorola nailed it with the X (2013).
[Moto X General] Hitesh1802:
Installed cm11 and back to stock in one hour main problem in cm active screen not there, haptic feedback of keyboard was killing me, camera video recording was not HD and sometimes lockscreen was lagging...

so back to stock removed greenify but turned off google play services including reporting, ads, analysis...

Improved battery life now i think greenify was not helping, it was creating mess in the system...
[Moto X General] jco23:
Do you have active display enabled?
[Moto X General] seishuku:
No tricks, regular use (texts, browsing web, email, etc), I do have some apps removed that I never use.

This is actually a record for me, usually the phone craps out around 3.5 days.

It would be nice if the percent gauge would actually reflect the actual battery capacity... I spent nearly two days at 1%.
[Moto X General] eeshlikhith:
What apps would they be? Can you explain your setup? what is your SOT?

My battery is extremely inconsistent. Two days ago I had 3,5hrs SOT with ~18hrs total time and today I have <3hrs SOT with ~11hrs total time with same usage (screen at 100% brightness both days). Screen brightness doesn't seem to affect how long the phone lasts on battery :| Even with low brightness I get about 3hrs SOT 15hrs total. I'm planning on upgrading to the Nexus 6 but seeing how the reviewers are getting the same battery life as I do it wouldn't really be an upgrade. Also the N6 being a motorola device, I can imagine how unpredictable the battery life is going to be.
[Moto X General] seishuku:
Yeah, I've noticed that brightness doesn't seem to make a difference, nor does active display (which I do have on).
