So far I dont have any complains about battery even on 4.4 on Tmobile. Last night I was at 50% with about 12-13 hours of use with almost 4 hours of screen time mostly on WIFI network with GPS off. Thats with everything syncing, news, weather, all Google syncs, Facebook, and Google Now. Active notifications and Touchless control ON.
[Moto X General] BrokenWall:
That would round out to almost 7-8 hours of SOT. I am going to be a bit skeptical of that due to the fact that most people get 4-5 hours after they get to 10%.

But if you did get it, that is amazing, it is definitely WAY OUTSIDE the normal.
[Moto X General] Indigo779:
I've gotten seven hours of screen time before as well, but not with everything synched. That was before kit Kat though. Just got the update this morning and am interested to see how that affects battery life over the next couple of days.
[Moto X General] kolyan:
I wish I could remember the exact numbers. I know it was definitely at 50% when I checked, it was 12+ hours with 3+ SOT (maybe 3:30-3:40). Will take screenshot next time, because now you made me skeptical of my own observation.

All I know is that now I am at 99% and 1:50 standby with 1 email sent and 2 small phone calls :) It would probably be hard for me stare at the screen 3+ hours again today
[Moto X General] banboy:
is yours rooted ? sync always on and always on every certain time ?

and yeah I notice you use wifi on and is that the same case with your battery percentage if you use 4g LTE only ? sorry but I just wanna see how good is the battery moto x can handle this stuff without wifi on.
[Moto X General] robotphood:
I only got my Moto X yesterday but I broke 5 hours screen time with about 15% battery left before charging last night. I was on wifi the whole time with auto brightness set by Lux. Everything on (location, gps, notifications from dozen+ apps, all moto services) except Google now. Can't wait to root and debloat and greenify a few things. Will turn on Google now after another battery cycle but from past experience on my s4 it killed my battery.

Try Lux? Set your own custom levels for auto brightness.

powerbank for moto x

let say if there's powerbank or any mobile battery charger on the go with output 2.1A that shouldn't be a problem for moto x and for the mobile charger when it charge to moto x isn't it or is anyone wouldn't suggest to charge the moto x with a powerbank with an output of 2.1A ? and different Volt from the charger is that also will be a problem to moto x ? I got this info about " Innergie 3000mah " I'm not sure if this is will be alright to use in moto x or not
[Moto X General] robotphood:
You'll be fine. This post put it best:
[Moto X General] kolyan:
rooted. wifi supposed to use less power then lte. all my sync is PUSH except for weather and news which is set to 3 hour refresh
[Moto X General] someguyatx:
Another regular work day. Not rooted, multiple gmail accounts and calendars synced, location and weather Google now and voice control all running. Listened to several hours of music via headphones and Bluetooth as well.
[Moto X General] RenSoAbrupt:
That looks great. What's your screen brightness set too?
[Moto X General] someguyatx:
90% of the time its set to automatic brightness. The other 10% I have it turned up higher. I find the auto setting works very well on this phone.

This thread makes me really want this phone. I just really wish it had qi. That's about the only reason I don't want to get rid of my s4. And the battery isn't bad on my s4, it just isn't as good as I would like it. The only other thing that I would be disappointed in losing is the ir. Sorry for the OT.
[Moto X General] hoseman1979:
What gives? My wife has an AT&T Moto X and since the 4.4 update, her battery life has fallen off a cliff. My battery life (Nexus 5) has only gotten better with SlimROMs 4.4.1 and 4.4.2, and it was good anyway. She is a very minimal user, mostly reads news and plays words with friends. I've fully cycled her phone twice since the update. She keeps BT, wifi, and location on, but GPS off. I deleted all app data a few days ago and everything is up to date. She has a ton of kworker wakes, yet no apps stand out, just Android system. At 8 hours on battery and 2 and hours and 17 minutes of screen time she had 21% today. Same type of day with the box ROM and she would have at least 55%. Do I need to factory reset?
[Moto X General] ram130:
Type of battery life and screen on you getting with the s4.
[Moto X General] 1454:
Usually 3 to at most 4 hours of screen on. The very most I have ever gotten is 4 and a half hours. Also it would also be nice to have oem delivered 4.4 already. I thought about getting the max, but I like the size of the X better. Also the maxx still isn't getting the support that the x is. So I've just kept my s4.
[Moto X General] ram130:
Thanks. Totally agree. The support is the best I've seen in a while. Although I don't get those screen on time like others here it's still good. I stream internet radio mostly.
[Moto X General] Wischmann:
Battery life is very good. I can play games and music for a long time...
[Moto X General] Profound_Madman:
Never had any trouble with battery...lasts me the day surfing and playing music til I get it on a charger. That is all I really need.

[Moto X General] robotphood:
On my rooted s4 with vanilla(ish) 4.3, greenified, and kernel tweaks I got 4-4.5 hours depending on use. Have only done 3 battery cycles with my moto x but I'm seeing about 5

+

without root. Not a huge difference but I'm hoping with root I can freeze some stuff and greenify to squeeze out a bit extra. The size and feel in hand is much better for me personally. Camera is a downgrade though as well as screen (I prefer the colors but sharpness is less for things like reading if you look close). I'm already looking forward to the moto x2 :laugh:
[Moto X General] 1454:
I almost think this is what I have resigned myself to. I don't dislike the s4, and I'm sure I can use some of your suggestions to maximize my sot. I do hav everything greenified. So I may start playing around with kernals or Aosp. I know there is at least one 4.4 rom I thought I saw. I do want to a smaller screen phone though, that the support and battery life were what keep pulling me to this phone.
[Moto X General] robotphood:
Kernels made the biggest difference in terms of performance and battery life for me. Another thing to mention was to get similar performance I'm experiencing with the moto x, I would probably have to use settings geared towards performance on the s4. Battery life would take a bit of a hit in the regard. So I guess there is a significant difference in battery life if you take that into account. Personally I would chose the moto x but overall it would be a lateral move "upgrading" to it from the s4.
[Moto X General] kolyan:
It was hard to pull another 3+ hours of screen time. I usually use phone for 2 hours max :)

So the scenario is the same with addition of 3 more PUSH sync apps, Zillow, Discover, and Whatsapp. Battery at 50%, Standby 16.5 hours, Screen 3.1 hours, and this time 7 phone calls with total time of 25 minutes

PS. Did the test on my old Galaxy Nexus with original battery and it was pretty good too. All Google syncs with Google Now plus set to share location. WiFi always ON but phone was mostly on cell network, GPS ON for about 1 hour. Battery at 50%, Standby 16.5 hours, Screen 50 min, and few phone calls total time about 10 minutes.

So to my 1st post...I am pretty sure now that I wasn't wrong and phone was close to 4 hours of screen time with 12-13 hours of standby.

If screenshots are needed I can post.
[Moto X General] tluley51:
Does anyone have their GPS (location, whatever) settings on and Google Now on and get this awesome battery life? I feel like I only get the 2-3 hours screen on time for a days use if I have all that stuff turned off...And if it's on, good luck with getting an hour-hour and a half screen on time before it goes dead.

Is this just me?
[Moto X General] :
2 to 3 hours with everything on may be normal..... But with most things shut off... That's terrible screen time. You should look into the cause.

[Moto X General] tluley51:
well i thought 2-3 hours screen on time (full brightness, mind you) with all that stuff off was average - good? I would love to get that with everything turned on to be honest...I am not sure how to look into the cause without root. I had previously rooted it, but brought it back to stock to get the 4.4 update.
[Moto X General] :
Well that's true. Without root and being on 4.4....Your options are limited for sure. But with gps, location services and touch less controls off... All the other Moto stuff debloated and stuff greenified... I'm getting 5 to 6 hours screen time every charge. Although, I keep my brightness from pretty low to 50 percent max.

Not necessarily, depends on what you're doing and your service. At work, I have almost no service, and my phone searches for service constantly. If I'm using data, my battery gets destroyed, screen on or not. So much goes into battery life you can make statements of xyz is great or terrible.

You must not use your phone or tablet at all. Haha. I can pull down insane battery usage just letting my phone sit on the desk as well. Maybe next time don't be such an a$$ about it.
[Moto X General] flashallthetime:
Actually right now my moto is sitting at just over 22 hrs with over 3 hours of screen time, phone calls, so it gets heavily used
[Moto X General] calmlydefyinglogic:
I would consider that moderate usage. That's a ton of stand by idle time which means that its not being used actively. I'm more impressed when I can pull down 10-12 hrs stand by idle time and 5-6 hrs SOT. That's heavy usage IMO. To each their own I suppose. The only one that matters to me is SOT.
[Moto X General] theraffman:
Another moto x with great battery life. Bought my wife a motomaker and received it earlier in the week, on day two she got 15hrs off the charger with 5hr15m sot... Stock no root. Her standby time seems very good, but I haven't been able to get accurate stats yet... All I know is that every night this week she had had between 4+ hours sot with 15+hours off charger. Auto brightness, WiFi on, GPS on battery saver mode etc... Pure stock... She's very happy coming from her s4.

did anyone know what is the propper or the first thing you should do when you get a new phone ? use it right away till battery drop to 20% and then charge it till full ? or when you got a new phone, and you charge the phone right away ? and always recharge the phone before 20% or charge it when it's 30% ? I have no any idea what's the deal that I should do
[Moto X General] _MetalHead_:
Factory reset then charge it up or use it. The battery has no memory so it doesn't matter if you charge it or not. Just do the factory reset.
[Moto X General] fruitytoilet:
I've realized that my phone gets stuck at 1% battery for about an hour, so my phone does not have the correct reading of my battery. I've discharged completely and charged back to full, but this doesn't seem to recalibrate my phone's battery reading. Is there any way to fix this? I've flashed stock multiple times but right now I'm rooted.
[Moto X General] banboy:
Really factory reset first after out from the box ?
[Moto X General] _MetalHead_:
I do that with every phone I get and so do a lot of people around here. Not sure if it actually helps any but it certainly doesn't hurt.
[Moto X General] abakshi0110:
I just got my moto x and the first thing I did was fully charge it overnight I took it off in the morning and 12 hours later with wifi on I hadn't used it but it still lost 5% I watched a couple youtube videos and played with the phone the next morning it was at 86 % is this normal? Loosing charge while doing nothing ? Or should I ask about a replacement
[Moto X General] banboy:
You're not alone , it's happening with me too. Well I feel it since using 4.4 KitKat. Keep update to me man

You are joking with us right? You lost 5 percent in 12 hours? That's very very good. Lol

Sent from my Moto X cell phone telephone...
[Moto X General] RenSoAbrupt:
I'm guessing he wants 2 -3% loss total. But in all honesty anything 5% and under is great. My last phone was terrible, I'd be losing over 30% in one night. Can't wait to see what I get with the Moto X.
[Moto X General] :
Well he's very lucky to get 5 percent drop in 12 hours... Even in airplane mode. He'll never see 2 or 3 percent drop in 12 hours.... Unless he shuts it off. Lol

I lost 1.1 percent over night last night... With radio on. To me that's not bad. I'm gonna see what airplane mode does tonight. You won't hear me complaining about my battery... I'm averaging over 24 hours with usually more than 5 hours screen time. I'm very happy. :)

EDIT: Closed Touchless control and Google Now.
[Moto X General] RenSoAbrupt:
That ROM works wonders eh? Almost 8 hours SOT.
[Moto X General] svennn:
I might have to go the Root and ROM path now that I have 4.4.

I had fantastic battery life until the update. I considered it close to the perfect phone. Now.....well, it has a bug.

For example, last night I did a full charge with the power off. I unplugged and booted up at 10PM and went to bed. With WiFI running, sync on, and not touching the phone once, it lost 28% of battery by 7AM. Before the update it was less then 5% for the same time frame.

I might try a factory reset before root just to see whats up.

[Moto X General] banboy:
You think with WiFi on n not playing around with the phone m lost 5% for 12 hours is good ?
[Moto X General] :
Um... yes.. If you think it's not... I would love to see a screen shot of anything even close to that. And not on Airplane mode. 5 percent in 12 hours is less than half a percent an hour. Maybe a tablet can do that. Maybe a phone in airplane mode..... But not a phone with wifi on or data.

Again... I will apologize up, down and sideways when I see a screen shot proving me wrong.... ;)

And if I am wrong... How can it be that I get about as good battery time as anyone I've seen on XDA... With a Moto X..... Yet my idle time is about a percent an hour NOT on airplane mode. That would not make allot of sense. :)

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

The only reason I'm even discussing this, isn't bragging.... It's so maybe guys will not tell someone their phone is defective cause they got half a percent an hour battery loss on standby... When personally I tested last night and got 1.1 percent per hour and yet my battery times over all and screen on time are really Damn good.

And I'm big time tweaked. So a phone out of the box and not messed with would and should not have quite as good times.... But it certainly doesn't mean they should send their phone in. If they do.... They will be highly disappointed when they get it back and it's the same.

Read through this entire thread.... And if your phone is way below even the lower reported battery stats.... Then maybe your phone has a hardware problem. Assuming it's deep sleeping just fine.... And the battery is still crazy bad.

[Moto X General] abakshi0110:
Without any usage ? Just wondering people have some high hopes for this battery I apologize for sounding dumb. I am really new to this phone and comparing this to my sensation it wouldn't loose any power if I just set it aside and didn't use it all day...
[Moto X General] jonnythan:
If your phone still said "100%" after 12 hours of sitting around doing nothing with cell signal enabled, it was lying to you. Simple poor battery calibration issue.

Ok we'll then the 5% drop is normal and I won't ***** about it. I do love the phone I was just making sure..

[Moto X General] :
It's impossible for this phone to use zero battery on standby... Especially not on Airplane mode.

Touch less control.... Always listening.

Active notification..... That's a constant process.

Maintaining cell signal and or wifi connection.

And at least a dozen other things that go on constantly... Deep sleeping or not.

My Nexus 7 can go over a week barely being used.... But it still loses a little during the standby... Not much, but a little.

Impossible that any phone sits over night say.... And doesn't even lose a percent. Impossible. (maybe turned right off) maybe.

[Moto X General] theraffman:
No, 5% battery loss over 12hrs is not normal... It's astounding... Most people are excited about >1%/hr

Cell phones will never have zero drain in standby... Cell phones, while powered on, will anyways be searching for cell service. Even in airplane mode there is a minimalistic battery drain... In the 10mah range... Hell, even batteries that aren't connected to anything suffer from minute drain.

Count yourself lucky, the best I have gotten on this phone is .8%/hr standby drain, that's with a lot of tweaking.

Finally someone that isn't confused. Lol

I can only assume the people saying 5 percent loss in 12 hours is bad... And that the phone may be defective.... Must be confused by what is being talked about. ;)

Again..... Prove me wrong.... Let's see a screen shot of the graphs in the battery section of settings that show a constant ACTIVE mobile signal and you lost Less than half a percent an hour. I will declare you the battery master.... Write a song singing your praises, and sing it all over the XDA lands. ;)

hmm I see, then if I fully charged my phone in evening let say like 9pm or 10p s 100% and i let it on with wifi through the night and when I check around 6am if the phone is 85-90% it's normal from your opinion ? I'm not a root fan so I'm using tmobile stock from moto x out from the box.

and is anybody here always charging your moto x randomly ? what i mean by randomly no need to charge the phone if the phone is 20% or 30% but above from that number you guys always charge it ? I'm confuse what is the right way to charge smartphone. is it has to be 10% then start to charge and when it hit 100% just leave it 15 minutes more then plug it off or what ?
[Moto X General] Ryno77:
For those of you seeing high android OS in your battery stats it might be something called Entriesrefresh_wakelock which is due to Google search and Google now. I've had big problems with this wakelock on two phones. I'm rooted so I can see what is waking my phone using a battery stats app. I fix it by force stopping Google search then restarting by opening Google search. This is not hugely documented so maybe it's just a problem I've had. I initially did not have great battery on this phone but once I got that wakelock stopped I've been getting great battery life.
[Moto X General] :
I would have to say if you charge your phone fully by 10 pm and unplug it.... By 6 am, 8 hours later, you'd probably be at about 92 to 85 percent.... Depending what you have on and off...

Of course on Airplane mode you shouldn't lose that much. And if you lose a lot more, then chances are your phone is being held awake by something. Which is bad. :)

Personally, I like to run my phone to 15 or less before I charge... But some days I unplug at 6 am and by midnight I still have allot more than that left. I charge it anyway tho... Cause I need it charged for the next day. Lately I've been doing like you said... Charging it before bed and is Unplugged all night. I went to bed at midnight last night fully charged and had 93 I think when I woke up at 6. Gsam said I lost 1.1 percent per hour. To me, that's good. Radio was on.... Tonight in trying airplane mode to see the difference.

With these batteries... They don't retain memory, so in reality... I think you can charge it whenever and for however long you want. Some may disagree, but I've owned a phone longer than 2 years anyway, and my battery never degraded.

Again... Seems everyone has different opinions and experience.... So this is just my two cents. ;)

[Moto X General] banboy:
well that's a fair explantion you've got there buddy, I agree with you and funny thing a week then I got my phone which moto x it's run really good, like the person that told us that he lost 5% from midnight till he woke up from fully charged but the funny thing after a month I can't reach to that number, now I'm losing like more than 10% from evening till the time I woke up like 6am. is this normal ?

and one thing for sure, did you root the phone or you leave it default out of the box ? and I don't know how I should maintain this but I only got SOT maxium like 1-2 hours and the screen percentage always around 45- 50% , was that also normal and happened with you too ? I played around that much too like every 10 minutes I pull my moto x from my jeans and I played around with it like 5-10 minutes nonstop and then turn it off and repeat that again.

well opening insta, fb, whatsapp, browser, cek email, cek sms, and also open a tumblr apps. and once I've opened those apps I just leave it just like that without I close them. is this really affect to the phone and will drain the battery run faster if we don't close them properly ?

sorry if it's out of topic.

it's just when the first week with my tmobile moto x my phone is really like a God for the battery perspective, so in love with it after a couple week I can see the battery feel run a lil bit faster. I notice that 2-3 weeks before and after the kitkat 4.4 for moto x is released. or am I being to paranoid with it ?
