Actually, the stock battery usage screen says very little...not too helpful tracking problems down. I always recommend Gsam. Has more than enough info to find issues and I've never had a problem with it, or battery drain from it, in years. Works best rooted with the root ad on.

Many use it...and many tell you to screen shot it when looking for problems.

Stock usage screen has no real troubleshooting stats. ;)

[Moto G General] rickenjus:
yes after disabling these two I am getting better battery life but not that good as yours... not even half...

In my case android system is eating my battery .. how much battery percentage is being used by "android system" in your device.

also please confirm whether "android system" in your device contains these same packages. I suspect these are the main culprits.

[Moto G General] Caz42:
After reading through this thread and a bit of internet surfing I'm astonished that android OS is only using around 7-10% on most folks phones. Mine is always top of the battery list having used 30-50% of battery. I have location off, wifi off, mobile data off and my phone only comes out of sleep when use it to text and send email ..............still it uses as much so have no idea why this is.
[Moto G General] rickenjus:
ya files in the packages are all same.. Although I'am getting great standby time but as soon as I start using my device, battery drains somewhat faster, and hence getting relatively much less battery backup compared to you guys..

I have noticed a considerable increase in battery life. Before the latest update, my battery was draining pretty quickly even with the screen off. I did have location services and WiFi always enabled, but that's because I utilize those often. The update seems to have fixed any issues with location services!!

This is all without turning on battery saver either!

I had charged my Moto G XT1032 with CM11 Nightly 20140222 few days ago. Then, it was more then 24 hours off the charger with more than 6 hours of screen-on time. Id been playing games (3D racing Traffic Racer mainly and one game of Carcassone) for about 45 minutes, making TiBa backups and transferring them to server via wifi, a lot of surfing, listening to music, also I spent at least one fourth of the time in bad-signal areas, I made a few phonecalls and sent some SMS. Im also syncing Gmail, Tasks, Hangouts and FB Messenger. After coming home from school and stuff it was on 14% !!!!!

I didnt even believe I could make the last part of my journey without the phone turning itself off but it hold fine! Finally an Android phone whose battery can take a heavy duty the whole day ... LOVE IT!!!

Help!!

Guys please help me!!

I am getting a battery backup of merely 13-14 hrs with screen on time of 3-3:30 hrs.

I charge my phone overnight as suggested by Motorola help app and Motorola customer service agent.

I never use wifi but only mobile data (3g) and I turn it on only when I need it.

Buetooth usage is also negligible.

I am most of the time in area with good signal (almost 80 % of time)

I have also disabled some of the Motorola app and Google Apps (newsstand etc.)

I have also installed battery guru app by Qualcomm.

Also I've installed greenify to Hibernate applications not in use.

Location services =battery saving mode.

My device - Moto g XT 1033 (Indian version)

Android 4.4 kitkat(stock rom, unrooted)

[Moto G General] Goodbye_Alltel:
I don't understand how so many people are getting 6+ hours of SOT. I can only get 3 to 4, tops (which I still consider very good) with brightness set to almost minimum. I have 16 GB xt1034 with latest updates. This is both before and after I rooted and installed xposed + gravitybox + others. I don't have skype and have set location to device only (which helped a lot when I first got the phone). I recently installed gsam (+ root extension to it), but I have to give it another day or two of normal use to see what it gathers. Also, I'm not even sure how to access all the info it supposedly has because of root. Does anyone know how to make full use of this app or others like it?

Today's results:
[Moto G General] neu - smurph:
Stock unrooted Rom, no battery saving apps. The screen on usage was pretty 'light' on that particular day - a lot of it was messing with an automation app.

I've got a few things disabled including Google+ which probably helps.
[Moto G General] Conquerora:
I used to sometimes get 0% drain overnight with location set to device only and wi-fi on all the time. Recently I lose around 5-7% during the night with the same conditions. I have even disabled location completely but to no avail. The battery life is still great, but the standby consumption used to be much better. Since I am not rooted, I cannot find the culprit. BBS gives only Power Management Service and qcom_rx_wakelock and the partial wakelocks are unavailable. GSam says the biggest "app usage" comes from Kernel (Android OS).
[Moto G General] b30sam:
Amazing screen on time. Read a couple of ebooks.
[Moto G General] vkk178:
Same here . I am beginning to think whether the battery on the Moto-G looses capability to hold charge pretty early-on . The first 2 days on the phone was a dream . But after that battery drops are imminent , especially between 100% - 80% . I hope some one from the Motorola can throw some light into the working of the battery , charger and ideal conditions for best results .
[Moto G General] insanezz:

[Moto G General] neu - smurph:
Have you disabled / removed Motorola Assist? It's required for the battery saver (all it does is restrict background data when battery is < 15%).
[Moto G General] deadwood01:
yes i have removed it, i dont think the problem is with that since my friend's unrooted stock xt1033 has same problem.
[Moto G General] neu - smurph:
I can guarantee that battery saver will not work without Motorola Assist installed and enabled.
[Moto G General] hlaraujo:
The battery saver feature does have to do with motorola assist, for it to work, you need moto assist enabled and updated

I have a moto x and I was having the same issue because I had assist disabled and when I got it enabled, I figured out I had to update it for the battery save to work, but as neu-smurph said, it only restricts background data, not a really improvement if you can turn off data when you're not using your phone

Hi,

Some weeks ago I had similar results. I posted here also.

Recently the battery life much worse. The usage profile is the same as yours (same %s) but the battery lasts only for two days or less.

Is it possible that something drains my battery which is not obseravable on the battery usage stat screen? Probably the battery losts the capacity?

Is there an app to check the actual usage of the battery in miliAmpers?

You can go to 2G network type mode. If you are using DUAL SIM version the let me tell you how. First go to Settings>Dual SIM settings>Click on the SIM you want to change network of, the go to Mobile Networks>Preferred network type. Wallah!! you are on the final location now.

If you are on Single SIM variant try the similar things I suggested you in setting.

Hope you get solution.
