Most phones have this issue, I know my Galaxy S2 and my nexus 7 suffered from some mediaserver issue. I remember there was a fix for this long time ago for the nexus 4 but idk where exactly that fix is now. I know that games such as Bejeweled Blitz has poor implemented wakelock and cause mediaserver to keep on running. For my galaxy S2, I just rebooted my phone and it fixed it for some reason. Same goes for my Nexus 7. I never use the stock music player or googles music player, since I heard that it got some problems. Try using music players like power amp( which is the best in my opinion). IF you are dying to play games like bejeweled or asphalt that uses mediaserver like crazy, I suggest you reboot your phone, or make sure that the application is completely shut off.
[Moto G General] r8zer:
Well I consider this phone to be amazing I have HTC one and can not make oy last this long under same conditions.
[Moto G General] windylawyer.1712:
Mine with GPE converted 4.4.4 is bad too :(

When i was in 4.4.2 stock moto firmware, i can reach to 6h30 screen on. Maybe 7h :(

[Moto G General] mike21pr:
Same thing here. Battery life was phenomenal before the update. Now it's just average :(
[Moto G General] AgentChaos:
Yeah same here. I think it worse than average. I think it has to do with the kernel.
[Moto G General] sidewalk_:
Well, glad i'm not the only one. Anyone use greenify? Did the battery last longer?

The apps you installed on your phone matters too, as it will eat up RAM.

And one more thing, i tried to reboot the phone after fully charged. It seems to significantly improve my battery life, i don't know if it was my feeling or what. Maybe you guys could try to use this method and report the results here.
[Moto G General] xenas:
No root, Stock 4.4.2 retail.Eu, it could be better if it wasn't for the game play... Google search is deactivated and I use greenify on the apps I've installed.

But now I wonder how it's gonna be with the new 4.4.4...???

Are you all getting worst battery stamina with the new stock 4.4.4??
[Moto G General] ka4o_pi4a:
Android OS keep eating up to 60% of my battery. My battery is drained for 2 days and 1 hour SOT and 1 hour talk in 2G mode. In battery status Android OS keeps the CPU always awake.
[Moto G General] sidewalk_:
Rooted or not?

Just installed greenify, we need root to maximize the app, gonna try to root my device someday.

Ps. Awesome battery life
[Moto G General] xenas:
Pure stock, no root.

I guess I got lucky [emoji2]

What Graphic settings did you get with Dead Trigger 2? And yeah, this is pretty much off topic lol :D

Almost 5 hours of screen on time with heavy gaming.

Pretty good
[Moto G General] weezaard@gmail.com:
I love my Moto G. This was a bit of a careful use, but with normal use, I can easily make 4-6 days.
[Moto G General] drag00n619:
Just got mine, charged it and used pretty heavily. Still did good IMO especially considering that my SGS1 lasted almost 2 hours of continuous usage. Will try to get at least 2 days the next time and share it here :)
[Moto G General] flolaff:
Almost 4 days with 4h20 screen on on my Moto G (ROM : OneROM build 4). Never lasted more than a day with my HTC One !
[Moto G General] moscka:
Stock 4.4.4 xt1033 dual sim. Debloated, greenify and autostarts. I lowered the clock to 600mhz.

Only Wi-Fi Internet, almost the same screen on time and no gaming.

6% left. I could reach 10h of screen time because I calculated 9min/1% from 9 to 6%.
[Moto G General] renzdmc:
How do you get those results? D:
[Moto G General] baxtex:
Wow, I'm nowhere near the OST's. I'm happy if I get 1,5hour on screen time. Got everything turned off, and I have disabled many apps, not using facebook, twitter, snapchat or anything like that. Running stock 4.4.3

hi

what kernel did you use for that?
[Moto G General] denzel09:
Stock kernel, stock voltages, no bad things ...
[Moto G General] Clarkiieh:
I used high..

Since the new update there are 3 settings and they have vamped the graphics so high is really good but get a lot of performance breakdown
[Moto G General] vlt96:
Performance breakdown on this phone? That's a good joke. This phone is faster than a nexus 4. (even antutu says we have double 3D performance)

And Nexus 4 has 4 times the GPU cores!
[Moto G General] Clarkiieh:
Well it isn't as such lag just becomes unresponsive when running high graphical games..
[Moto G General] buntysatya:
Pretty disappointed. What should I do to improve my battery?
[Moto G General] pokey9000:
LTE or 3G? That sounds more like what I'm getting on my LTE. Though if I don't use it much during the day it still gets crappy life, but with system or play services taking up the bulk. I wonder if there's some other unaccounted battery drain going on.
[Moto G General] baxtex:
This was on 4G preferred. And where I live I got very bad or no 4g connection at all so my phone connected and reconnected all the time. I have switched to 3G now wil se if it helps.
[Moto G General] turtuv:
Hi guys! I saw incredibles things on this thread...how is that possible to reach those screen hours or days and days of usage? My phone seems to be defected compared to yours! :D

Here is some of my screens. This are about my first two charging cycle (i got the phone yesterday):
[Moto G General] lifetimes:
My battery life, stock 4.4.3, rooted with xposed framework and gravitybox installed. I didn't have data activated, so WiFi only but the network was set on 3G only.
[Moto G General] turtuv:
How do you reach all that screen's hours? It deends on xposed and gravity box? My phone is all stock.
[Moto G General] lifetimes:
I always get around 4 hours screen on time, whether on WiFi or on data, I've just never gotten almost 2 days battery life and no, it's not dependant on xposed and gravity box, at least I don't think so. I'll test it with both of them off... Posted battery life at 1%.
[Moto G General] turtuv:
But when you use data, do you use 3G one? At what level do you keep screen's brightness?
[Moto G General] lifetimes:
Yes I use 3G, H+ and still the same. Every phone I've ever owned, I've always kept my battery on auto. Only the S3 mini I owned didn't have auto and I got close to that but the brightness was on the lowest. I don't disable background data, so I'm always on WhatsApp, BBM, Twitter and Instagram the most, with sometimes some Hangouts, Facebook, Viber & Skype.

Anyways, as I said, the almost 2 day battery life is a first but around 4 hours on screen time is a usual thing for me.
[Moto G General] turtuv:
So my battery seems to have some issues. I use 2G and low brightness most of the time, but this results are dreams for me. I use the phone as wifi modem trough tethering WiFi..maybe is it the cause? Is your phone all stock? My last screens:

P.S: i knew that go under 5% or even1% is not so good for battery life. I always charge my phone when it reach 15% at maximum.
[Moto G General] lifetimes:
Yeah, all stock, just rooted with Gravity box installed & maybe it's wifi tethering why your battery dies quickly. Try without tethering. And with referring to the battery reaching down to %1. That was actually the first time in 2 months, I think, that I did that. Let's say 1 month to be sure. I usually don't let it run down like that. Let it go down to 0 and charge it see if it resets the battery calibration... I'm no master with this, so I can't say it would work.
[Moto G General] turtuv:
I need tethering because i have no WiFi connection and i use my mobile ones trough the phone's thethering

How did you get such a good screen on time ? I can't pass 3 hours...on my XT1032.
[Moto G General] :
I'm on stock 4.4.4.I adjust the brightness manually. I don't use crapwares like task killer , battery saver etc.I manually sync the data. I've no Wi-Fi and I always use mobile data.I switch to 3g when i need more speed.
[Moto G General] Eurofighter_ty:
I will try to disable auto sync to see what happens :)

I just use WiFi and no mobile data or crapware apps.
[Moto G General] :
:D
[Moto G General] turtuv:
Unbelievable. But you keep your data off most of the time? Anyway the phones are made to sync automatically all your accounts too, it seems to be a nonsense use the phone manually to get a new record on screen's hours :D

I agree it's a smartphone don't make it dumb.

[IMG="Moto G 4G 3 days of battery"]http://imgur.com/TBVYLOB[/IMG]

The part when it gets yellow is when I had my data and gps constantly on, cuz I was using maps.
[Moto G General] :
It's okay. Not to set record screen hours. I sync the data everyday manually in the morning and in the night,just because I've a very limited data plan.
[Moto G General] neu - smurph:
I've had 7 - 8 hours screen on time with autosync on etc...but only when the screen on has been something pretty undemanding - Play Books or whatever. I average about 4-5 hours.

How do you keep brightness? I don't understand why i never reach all of that screen hours. At max i reached 3,5 hours. Have i a bad battery?
[Moto G General] BlueFlame4:

don't ask me how, I think it was pretty crappy SOT, I had it at the lowest, maybe a tiny bit over the lowest brightness.
[Moto G General] :
this is what the bar looked like, ;)
[Moto G General] Sportinxd:
Maybe you guys should take a peak into lux lite or even the paid version since the Android auto brightness feature sucks ;)
[Moto G General] moscka:
I have a problem. My battery drains a lot after using GPS even when idle. I have to restart to "solve". Anyone else?
[Moto G General] turtuv:
I don't understand, i don't reach this SOT, in the dreams neither.
[Moto G General] :
I just bought lux, it's a bit confusing at first lol, is there any setup that's best for saving battery that we can follow ? :P
[Moto G General] Sportinxd:
I use the auto brightness feature from Lux and yeah really confusing configuring it :p
[Moto G General] pinsicchio:
My battery lasts a little more than one day (before going to bed I've usually 15-35% left and 2 to 3.5 hrs SOT). I'm always connected via 3G and I have data on, 2 emails synced, facebook, messenger, whatsapp, telegram always running and auto brightness. Do you think I could achieve a better battery life with a different rom/kernel? I'm all stock. Also, I'd love to have dt2w

have you figured out how to configure it yet ? :p

If you use the google Auto Brightness feature, you should download the Lux Lite ( free version ) and try out with the configs I posted above, to see if you get a little more out of you battery.

I say this because Auto Brightness from google sucks :P
[Moto G General] Kunal5894:
22Hrs. 4Hrs SOT. 33% left.

Usage - lots of Whatsapp and Facebook, Snapchat for a while.

1 hour 20 mins of music.

25mins of calls.

Auto brightness for half of the day (Whenever I leave home)
[Moto G General] Sportinxd:
Different adjusts differ on how they are triggered like ascendengly or what's it called changes when the sensor sees a difference in the lux, periodically changes 1 hour in 1 hour and so on.

I use ascendengly

Thumbs up for my last minute configuration working :D

Also been getting more time I guess on my battery and since now I'm camping I need it more than ever ^^
[Moto G General] :
oh yeah and before i had long gaps of screen turned off as well, n this time there's hardly any time when screen was off. I thought this time it would be worse but I thought wrong lol :P
[Moto G General] turtuv:
Unbelievable. You used the phone only for gaming i guess. Is root needed to use lux? If i use it i still can change the brightness by hand? Where can i find it?
[Moto G General] Sportinxd:
No, you do not require root to download the app ( it's on your play store) and if you like it enough you can always support de Devs by purchasing the paid app that has more features.

And yes you can still change the brightness whenever you need /want
[Moto G General] :
I use the phone for all sorts of stuff, gaming as well :P , lux does not require lux, well there is one or two features that need lux but I don't think they are useful, yeah if you use it you can still change. I'll show u. so you two on that bit where it shows brightness and then this pops up
[Moto G General] :
these are the only root required features, they are in the advanced section fyi :p

[Moto G General] dorwoo:
Don't let your phone discharge that much it will hurt your battery. I always recharge at 15-20% minimum.
[Moto G General] Gelion_01:
Why does discharging under 15% hurt the battery? Then this is just lost capacity?

Sent from my Moto G
[Moto G General] dorwoo:
It will hurt your battery performance over time. Also not good to overcharge it.
[Moto G General] Sportinxd:
It's because they are the lithium battery's

And when are you recharging your phone? At work?

It it just quite convenient to charge the phone over night. How high is the calculated impact of overcharging on the battery?

Sent from my Moto G
[Moto G General] turtuv:
My battery arrive under 10% sometimes, i don't think that this will destroy the battery over time.
[Moto G General] Hobo Sol:
I got my Moto G 4G at the start of this week, and I feel today is a good benchmark of the battery life. I've had it connected to the PC in two short bursts towards the end of the day to transfer some files, and screen brightness was on high for a good chunk of the day when I was out in direct sunlight.

The battery life is alright but not the best I've experienced. I came from a Samsung YP-G70 & Lumia 520 and could go with about 3-4 days without recharging the Samsung and 2 days for the Lumia.

I'll experiment a bit and see how things work out over time (see if I can work out a brightness sweet spot), but I can definitely see me running out of power on the go with this device.
[Moto G General] turtuv:
H+ require a lot of energy, it's normal this battery duration time.
[Moto G General] vlt96:
I had an LG Optimus One for 2 years, during which I almost always left it to discharge until it turned off, and left it to charge every night (didn't have my laptop back then, so I used it A LOT).

2 years later, the battery was still exactly the same as the day I got it (~5 hours screen time, pretty much same usage, didn't matter on a phone that was locked on one frequency all the time)

However, I then got a Galaxy S3 mini, and I treated it's battery a lot better (on the P500 I used to remove it from the charger when I needed it somewhere else, then plug back in). From the 4 hours of screen time I used to achieved over 2 days, I got the Moto G because the S3 mini had somewhere around an hour of screen time (if lucky)... of very light usage, so the battery was dead, in just an year...

I think it depends on the battery mostly, my uncle has a Toshiba laptop with a 30 second battery life (because of it's treatment over it's first year). I have a Lenovo laptop, and 2 years later, the battery still lasts 2:30-3 hours... it even has better standby battery than every phone in the house...
[Moto G General] -sandro-:
Something is wrong I've never seen the battery drop so quickly on the moto g.
[Moto G General] Ryongsyong:
Yup, I'd agree with this. I had the Note 1 and the battery was essentially dead within about a year. Bought a new battery ... same within a year again, and I am very careful with them. I just think Samsung don't make good batteries (on purpose?) and then obviously within two years or so they're not making them at all anyway so unless you want to put in dodgy third-party stuff you need to buy a new phone (Samsung, they hope!) Nope. Not doing that again, spending £600 for a phone that quickly becomes out of date and then has a battery that literally gives the phone perhaps two minutes of screen on time before dying. It's the sort of expensive mistake you only have to learn once, and so I wasn't surprised to read what you wrote about them here. I wonder whether this technique is good in the long term— their recent performance suggests maybe not.

P.S. Moto G battery is like a breath of fresh air! I can't believe I spent so long having to turn useful stuff off just because of a useless battery. I love it!

If I was him I'd be looking at that weather app, as it seems to be taking up an awful lot of battery. Maybe it's refreshing too often or just badly programmed. Certainly for the Moto G that battery drain is too fast for normal usage.
[Moto G General] turtuv:
So, essentially, is not so good to let the battery go under 15%? I always wait to get 15-13% before charging, but 2 times i was on a trip and the battery went under 10%.
