[Moto X General] :
I agree with everything you said. I can't get any better than 1 percentish per hour in airplane mode myself. Yet I've seen others with 0.5. But, since I'm getting more than 24 hours total and more than 5 1/2 hours screen time.....all the time..... I've stopped worrying about that 1 percent drain. Funny, cause my N5 with nothing much different than my X setup, gets 0.5 drain in airplane mode. So I agree....all phones aren't created equal.

Also, no one has there phone any more streamlined than me. That's a big part of those excellent battery times. People running Moto assist, location services, syncing a lot, Google now on....etc....are gonna be hard pressed to get the battery life I get. Also....apps do play a big part of it, as has been said here. Some use location service and sync and what not...that's gonna hurt the battery and yet...as said before...not gonna show as app drain...it will hide in android OS drain.

Anyway...I completely understand your frustration. And you read everything too! Awesome. But understand some of the guys that try to helps frustration. Back only a few days ago....I extensively help a member out...asked him for certain screen shots...etc...etc..... Then within hours, someone else is asking the same thing. So instead of going through it all again, I tell them to read what I wrote back and forth with the other guy...and print the same screens. Then just after....another guy. Gotta start all over again. LOL. See my point. It was said today, this thread has repeated information and advise over and over and over again. Not saying you.....but some others obviously read none of it. Just hop in here and post their complaint without even looking at the last page even. See where I'm coming from?

Xda is a fortress of information. Every issue and solution on earth is here...for androids that is. But it seriously seems more and more each day that people are searching and reading less and less. They just want a fast answer to their problem. Well A, that's against xda rules. And B, it gets very tiresome trying to help people when you gotta post the same stuff over and over again. So....do we occasionally say something, like I am now. And usually get called a **** for speaking up. Or, stop helping altogether. Well that option is a shame, cause xda is all about helping each other.

So tell me....what do you do when you like helping....especially if you know exactly how to fix a problem for someone......but...after you helped them...within hours....even on the same page on here...another guy comes along and asks the same thing basically. LOL. I write it all out again? Ignore them, and let them suffer? Or say, please man....read the thread. Seems its a lose lose situation. Cause frankly, I'm tired of getting called names and getting attitude for trying to help people to help themselves. LOL. ;)

K....wasn't lecturing you at all with all that! Just quoted you to say I agree, battery issues get frustrating. And kudos for reading the thread. :)

And to all,........my advice when you've tried everything. Backup what you want to keep to your computer. Then wipe and flash a fresh copy of the firmware back. Same version and everything of course. Then go a couple days completely clean. If all good...install Apps back....only a handful a day...so you know you're still good. And if it gets bad....its one of the apps you just installed. Problem solved.

If battery is bad...and you have a fresh install....no apps installed yet even. Start turning things off...freezing stuff...etc....you'll find the culprit, with no user apps cluttering your phone. Maybe be it is weak signal, your router, or something else....but again...way easier to determine when your phone is in an "out of the box" state.

If all this is too much....live with the battery life, or sell/return the phone. That's really your only options if you don't wanna waste time working on the problem. :)

K....sorry for the giant novel. Think I'm backing off the x forum for a bit. Its kinda crazy in here. LOL. Battery life, ota's gone bad and how to's, bootloader issues. Also, wife has the x now and I'm on the N5 now. Not cause I think its better....just that you can do far more tinkering with a nexus. I missed that.

Good luck guys! Again...if you haven't ....read the thread. A LOT of answers are already here...and maybe they can help. If not....you might be SOL....cause its all been covered here by now.
