On full gaming mode with almost non stop i get 8h of battery

On a normal but intense day i get 24h of battery

And with a standard use without abusing i get 2 days of battery!

i love this phone
[Moto G General] -sandro-:
I wonder what moto has done to get such an amazing battery on 3g data
[Moto G General] mike21pr:
Normal work day use. Veeeery impressive compared to anything else I have used. Whatsapp, texting, web browsing, youtube etc. medium to semi heavy use.

[Moto G General] xmenadis:
Any solutions for this? It happened to me last two days. I also did factory reset after OTA update, but whole time on KitKat my Moto G has worse duration on battery compared to Jelly Bean.
[Moto G General] mazinya:
What do you use the moto G for?
[Moto G General] eemgee:
I don't know but I find no battery advantage using 2g, in fact I find no advantage switching wifi off when I'm out either!

The only thing that seems to save me any battery is setting location services to "device only"

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

change location services to "device only" and restart the phone.
[Moto G General] asdfzz:
Stock always WiFi/3g on.. No airplane mode..

Really great ?
[Moto G General] cra1g321:
UK Moto G with GPE ROM, using no battery saving apps.

wifi always on, main apps being used are KIK, Gmail, twitter, instagram, Chrome (with the first 3 being always open).

screen is set to auto-brightness.

I did connect the phone to the pc, a couple of times, (5-10mins each time) so maybe that is why it's showing such good numbers.
[Moto G General] zack.1988:
Definetly satisfied.

Total battery time: 19 hours 4 mins

Screen ON: 8 hours 37 mins

Connectivity: wifi most of the time, and REALLY bad mobile signal

Screen Brightness: manual and quite low most of the time

No root, just disabled all the unneeded services
[Moto G General] King p1n:
How much screen time do ya'll get with 3G on?

First time I've used it using mobile network and seems to be draining quickly, probably just over 2 Hours before I charged IIRC

Mostly surfing the internet.

I'll see tomorrow and try restarting my phone, not restarted since I've got it.
[Moto G General] zack.1988:
It's not so easy to drain the whole battery of the moto G in two hours only, it would look really weird...

Anyway, surfing the web and downloading data are two of the most battery-hungry tasks you may do

[Moto G General] insanezz:
Seeing these great results from you all really makes me thinking if i should switch from my nexus 4 to a moto g, because with my nexus 4 i can barely get 2 hours of SOT when only using 3G. I've tried many custom kernels / roms but it all doesn't help. So do you guys think that I should switch or not? Because i have a high value on battery life. Would love to hear your opinions. :)

Thanks.
[Moto G General] King p1n:
Sorry I meant to put 2 Hrs screen time.

Managed to get 3 Hours with 10% left today ehh, with nearly 10 Hours off charge.

Maybe Im a little underwelmed considering I could squeeze sometimes over 6 Hours on Wifi, I was expecting to get at least 4'ish on 3G consistently tbh.
[Moto G General] tillaz:
was using cm11 and only 3g, never use wifi
[Moto G General] rogeriorp:
Does anyone else on stock KK can't get their device to 100% charged - full status? Even on DU Battery app, it doesn't load the slow charge, which it did on 4.3. After 8 minutes out of the charger, battery went from 100 to 98% only at wifi and low screen settings, worth mentioning that on 4.3 I could keep 100% charge for some time - due to its true 100%. Running on ART, stock kernels and unrooted.

Solutions or suggestions? I'm about to factory reset it if nothing else works.
[Moto G General] -sandro-:
You won't get a battery life better than the moto g on any smartphone i might add! Bear in mind that switching from the nexus 4 is a DOWNGRADE in terms of performance and specs.
[Moto G General] insanezz:
Yes I am aware of the peformance downgrade but all i use my phone for is some social media browsing and maybe a few games from time to time. And since i am on 3G most of the time during the day, my n4 can get barely 2-2.5 SOT on 10 hours of stand by.. That's why i'm thinking to switch
[Moto G General] -sandro-:
I get the same with the galaxy s4...both top of the line devices!! with the moto g you'll probably get 5h on 3G but I don't wanna speculate cause I don't personally use it
[Moto G General] rogeriorp:
I am pretty sure mine ain't doing fine for some reason I can't find. Never had it before KK, as stated on my previous post.

And yes, it seems to get into deep sleep. Wifi only, most google stuff deactivated and location services set on device only.

Any suggestions? Wiping the cache and factory reset did not help it, although it seems like the problem lies on the battery charging - it doesn't completely take a full charge dispite the 100%. I'm kinda hopeless.
[Moto G General] thestory101:
got same problem, I think it's get 100% too quick when compare to DU saver estimate.
[Moto G General] Desaf:
One of the reasons was the batterylife of phone, thats why i changed from the N4. I had more than one hour navigation and some browsing and still 44% left. My N4 would have been empty by now.
[Moto G General] insanezz:
Since you also had the n4, how's the peformance difference for you since ur using a moto g now? I'm kinda curious since im wanting to do the same switch as you because of the battery life on my n4
[Moto G General] tillaz:
????

i didn't have any problem all is good for me, think you quoted wrong person lol ????
[Moto G General] thestory101:
he he, I slipped my hand.
[Moto G General] juanbiohazard:
So, i had my phone connected to my computer, the battery was arround 61%, suddenly it went to 1% and the phone turned off... I plug in the wall charger and let it load... when it was arround 40-something % it went straight to 100%.

Has this happened to anyone else?
[Moto G General] jim.1405:
Not unusual at all. Many people have had this happen, it's just a quirk of the Moto G.

I would also like to know please.
[Moto G General] marcus6999:
I also had a Nexus 4 and I can say that battery life in Moto g is just awesome compared to the Nexus 4, nevertheless the performance is not the same. You can't compare moto g and a nexus 4 in terms of performance as Nexus 4 wins by far, but in the other hand I can say the Moto device has a decent performance. Something I have to tell about the battery life of Nexus 4 is that the main problem for me was the great battery drain I had from 'Cell Standby', which I think is CPU related by what Franco said about the Snapdragon S4 Pro. This problem absolutely disapeared in Moto g.

I hope my opinion helps in your decision :)
[Moto G General] UltimHero:
Thanks alot , by far do u mean its noticeable (the performance )?? What did u regret after the switch ?

Thanks again mate ;)
[Moto G General] :
If you love the idea of the Moto g....but are concerned it isn't better ...or not better enough than a nexus 4....spend a bit more on the Moto x. You won't regret it. ;)

Sent from my Moto X cellular telephone...
[Moto G General] marcus6999:
Well, what I regret most is having led my nexus 4 drop into the floor :(. So I can say it's a sad loss.

And what I really miss is the fluidity which the nexus had, I notice some lack of it sometimes when I really stress the device.

Another con to mention is the RAM, sometimes it closes the background service of some applications I am using in order to free RAM for other apps I open.

Although having said that, I am still stock, unrooted and bootloader locked, so my wish when I unlock it is to see the fluidity and administration of RAM greatly improved by flashing custom kernels like Faux and by also flashing roms. :)

Sorry if my English is sometimes not understandable, I am trying to make my best! :D
[Moto G General] dreamer3kx:
So its been a good month since purchasing the Moto G and I feel like my battery is getting stronger from already being great, went on three days with 24% when I decided to charge it up again.

I understand well. On mine a third of the screen has gave up on me (digitizer) it will cost me about 60-70$ to fix it so I dont know ...buying a moto g seems a good idea Im just afraid to regret it.
[Moto G General] insanezz:
I have the same problem, the moto x simply isn't available in my country (the netherlands), but in germany it costs 349 euro's for the 16gb.

If everything goes right my nexus 4 should be sold soon. I will report back if i have the moto g with some first impressions :)
[Moto G General] if0rg0t:
All is not rosy in moto g battery world ...

See later half. No usage, but still a lot of drain...

Extreme drain overnight...

Constant drain even in airplane mode. The very last part of the graph is what it should be .. The phone sort of fixed itself...

After KK, a battery look weird.

Normally when 100%, we should get full stage (and it's hold 100% for a while until drop to 99%) but now still show a charging (and we didn't able to hold 100% for long It's drop normallly as other number).

Super wierd for battery behavior.
[Moto G General] rogeriorp:

[Moto G General] vkk178:
Can some one post the peak battery voltage while charging ?? AFAIK lion batteries should not exceed 4.2 volts .. Bu my battery shows 4.3 volts in GSam battery monitor or any other utility I check with .

Also when you open the back panel do you feel a depression on the sticker (below the Motorola symbol) where the battery is present ; like below image .

[Moto G General] judask24:
I've had my Moto G about a week. It to me has the best battery life I've ever experienced. Before last nights charge, it was running on battery for almost 17 hours and had like 21% left. I've used it far more today. Texting, browsing. Music streaming. Coming from a nexus 4 running custom 4.4.2 with so called awesome "Battery saving" tweaks, I'd have to charge it every 5 or so hours. The worst battery life I've ever seen.

Yeah mine doesn't hold 100% long it used too not anymore. Wiped cache portion doesn't seem to help

[Moto G General] insanezz:
Sold my nexus 4 last week, bought the moto G. And I can say that the peformance is a downgrade (not that much imo) but the battery life ... it's definitely better then the nexus 4.

Example : I was using my nexus 4 on a normal school day most of the time on 3G and when i got home i usually got about 15-20% left. With the moto g i have around 40-50% left when i get home.

So if you really value battery life in your phone I definitely would recommend you to sell your nexus 4 and buy a moto G, If you however value very smooth peformance and lots of dev support (custom roms / kernels) I would stick with the nexus :)
[Moto G General] myfairx:
Nice, Lots of music? online streaming or from phone?

kinda curious
[Moto G General] M3ta7h3ad:
:( had an issue last night, where I am I have practically no phone signal so phones normally waste a ton of power searching for one. To save this I normally airplane mode it and use wifi to make use of a sip number.

Unfortunately airplane moding it and using wifi caused wifi to be stuck in a weird "turning on state" which absolutely rinsed my battery down to 0% inside of 3 hours, woke up this morning to a phone showing 0% :( was hoping for 3 days from it.
[Moto G General] Allewar:
Don't use airplane mode just turn off the network radios
[Moto G General] M3ta7h3ad:
Fair point, couldn't find that option though in the haze of wanting to go to sleep :)

Interestingly just got an odd issue right now browsing this thread. Opened the thread and pow a "update-browser.org" link popped up, suggesting that my browser firefox version 25.0.1 is out of date. My computer is a clean machine something seems a bit squiffy about that odd pop up though.
[Moto G General] shaftenberg:
A mixed scenario.

About one hour playing Velox3D, 30mins Youtube, several SMS/Facebook messages, telephony via bluetooth, surfing with Chrome, Tapatalk, installing and testing apps, little bit local music and video.

No auto brightness, had it at 40%
[Moto G General] ghtop:
The standby performance is very impressive. Here's 4 days and counting with very light usage and only synching email and Google Music, WiFi only, and still half the battery left ... Probably get a week out of it like this.

Edit: so this confirms the TechCrunch review of battery life (and the only review so far that seems to have noticed the low power mode):

Truly amazing ...

[Moto G General] hotpokets:
What is that moon icon on your statusbar?
[Moto G General] ghtop:
It's the Motorola Assist sleep mode notification - basically a do not disturb for night time.
[Moto G General] hotpokets:
Oh I see... and does it work like on iOS? I mean, if I get 2 calls in a short period of time, will the phone ring then?
[Moto G General] ghtop:
Yes, it silences notifications & calls and you can configure exceptions for starred favourites or if someone calls twice within 5 mins. There's also a Meeting mode which works from your calendar and has auto-reply options, and a Driving mode that has hands-free options.
[Moto G General] SolidR53:
Can't wait to get hands-on!

1+ days is awesome.
[Moto G General] ghtop:
So I finished my standby test now: 7 days with very light usage and 4 hrs SOT with still 17% in the tank. Nice ...

Could probably squeeze another day out but now I want to recharge and play. :)
[Moto G General] ManBearrrPig:
7 days with 4h SOT??? cant wait to get the device!
[Moto G General] ghtop:
Bear in mind that this was a test of standby mainly and in more normal use you won't see numbers like that - the TechCrunch review said it best, IMHO.

(Although on my second charge I did manage to get 9 hrs SOT from just fiddling, installing and configuring stuff ... stupidly didn't take a screenshot of that though. The only time I've seen significant drain is when CacheUpdateService went a bit ballistic with the wakelocks, but a reboot fixed that.)

Anyways, can't see that I'm going to be unhappy with this little beast's battery for my needs. Motorola's well and truly back. Enjoy :)
[Moto G General] shaftenberg:
Display brightness at 10%? :D

Very impressive though!
[Moto G General] ghtop:
Yeah, it was mostly at night when I should have been sleeping so I had it just a tick above lowest setting ;) Now I just keep it on Auto and that's just fine for me - don't even need Lux.

Yes, I disabled these two things and now I have amazing battery life even with bluetooth, wifi and mobile data always on.

Make sure that Google Services and Google Play Services either disappear or go to the bottom of battery usage toplist. These two processes drained my battery within one day after upgrading to KitKat. Disabling the two mentioned things (Google now and location services completely) solved my problem.
[Moto G General] Caz42:
How come your biggest drain on battery is 'Phone Idle' ? My biggest is 'Android OS' which has used 31% ......where is your Android OS ?

Also, why aren't you using battery saver?
[Moto G General] sakos1:
I assume you asked me, so Android OS is at 9% on my phone, now and it is the 5th on the list. While phone idle is 21% at the top.

Actually I did not use too much the phone. Mainly voice calls.

I do not need battery saver (6 days is enough ;) ) since it disables mobile data at low battery level, however I use mobile data to listen online radios.
