I'm in the UK and my carrier is Giffgaff which uses the O2 network. Generally reception is pretty good - currently at -75dbm 18 asu. Though I commute on the Underground for 1 hour per day where I get zero reception.
[X 2014 General] rakesh84:
I thought today's battery life was very good.
[X 2014 General] qwerty12601:
Damn 4hr SOT with 3 hours voice calling....that's really good.
[X 2014 General] qwerty12601:
Lol, that's better than any screen shot posted for the droid turbo so far! I had 6:07 SOT yesterday..

What network are you on?
[X 2014 General] rakesh84:
I am on EE network here in the UK. No calls yesterday just alot of web browsing, WhatsApp and a hour of bluetooth music streaming.

I was also on WiFi 90% of the day.

That said still seriously impressed.
[X 2014 General] shamelin73:
Here is mine.

I was flying 2.5 hours today playing music on my Moto Buds.
[X 2014 General] sthpaw01:
I didn't think I could get this type of life out of this battery! [emoji1]
[X 2014 General] GatorsUF:
Returning mine today, getting a replacement. Yesterday I got 9hrs with 2hrs SOT. Mostly on WiFi.

My signal is always the second biggest drain after the screen. Thinking it's a hardware issue since others report good signal.
[X 2014 General] jamespat93:
How did you manage to get this screen on time? What brightness do you use and have you disabled any apps?
[X 2014 General] draco259:
Let us know if that fixes it for you. I have the same problem. My wife's N5 at the end of the day only shows 1% of the time without signal, my X says 40% and shows the same or higher battery drain than my screen time.
[X 2014 General] rakesh84:
I have disabled a few of the motorola apps I don't use such as Migrate and Connect but left all the useful ones on like voice, display etc on.

I have stopped various google stuff syncing, such a movies and music. I have 3 exchange email accounts syncing and 3 calenders syncing.

I also go through most of the apps I download and turn off unnecessary notifications such as those from Linkedin.

I had motorola replace my phone so my current one is only two days old, so battery life isnt so great atm. Hopefully will improve over the coming week. This time I rooted so I can take advantage of Greenify.

Rakesh
[X 2014 General] jamespat93:
Thanks, I'm going to try and do the same things you did. If I can get 6 hours screen on time then this will pretty much be the perfect phone for me. Why did you have your old one replaced? Yeah I might root and use Greenify too. What kind of battery life did you get on average with your old one?
[X 2014 General] rakesh84:
There was no issue with my old. 3 days after buying it Motorola did their promotion where you could buy one for £360 instead of £420. I rang and asked if they could refund me the difference and they said there processes don't allow it. Instead they told me to buy a new one and send the old one back for a refund.

Battery life on average I thought was really good. I made a few posts in this thread about battery life but on average it was 16 hours standby with 5 hours screen on time.

Also I should mention I have nfc off, GPS is in battery saving mode unless using sat nav and Bluetooth is off. WiFi is on all day as I go in and out of WiFi areas throughout the day.
[X 2014 General] shamelin73:
Here's mine for today I had a 1 hour plane ride listening to my moto buds and worked most of the day.
[X 2014 General] Stylus_XL:
This is my battery since I got home from work - I've been on my phone quite a lot this evening. Haven't had a chance to run the battery down completely but my screens should illustrate what it's capable of anyway. WiFi on, Bluetooth on, Moto 360 connected, average signal, 30-45 minutes of music played through headphones and a Bluetooth stereo.

My Nexus 5 would normally be at 25-30% with this kind of usage. I'm very impressed so far.
[X 2014 General] ad_slev:
Most was WiFi i suppose but i love it :D

Most apps used to an average amount :cowboy:
[X 2014 General] paintballerzell:
Hi Guys! Long time creeper, only posted a few times 5 or 6 years ago but I just wanted to shed some light on a a few things:

I'm using a Moto X 2014 PURE EDITION on T-Mobile. It has NOT been rooted or unlocked. (As to be honest I've yet to need an application that required it.)

After receiving it., I noticed the Cell Stand-By time was draining the battery. There's a whole other discussion on this topic to which people somewhat poo-poo the idea that it's the phone and not user error.

The cell-stand-by time was almost always neck and neck with my Screen around 30% utilization at the end of half day (about 12 hours of battery life w/ 3 being SOT).

I started researching these issues people were having and they weren't really addressed. Some people switched to ART (I didn't get a good chance to try this out) and other changed the T-Mobile APNs (or AT&Ts), some had some success but it was little improvement. I didn't suspect it was a me issue, because I would take it off the charger at 0530AM and by the time I got to work, with some bluetooth streaming in the car it was 83% @ 0370, with less than 30 minutes of SOT. I compared this to my LG G3, which we can all probably agree is not the best for battery life, the same conditions, cell-standby was no where NEAR the SOT time, and the phone was at 95% in the same time frame as above. So, I was somewhat upset at the phone, but unfortunately, I dropped it and broke the screen (Don't worry, I got the ESP), so since I am waiting for a new phone to be shipped, I figgured what the heck, I'll try and apply this OTA. (Thanks graffixnyc for posting it, I've registered for the soak test but haven't received the word that it's available for me)

After the update, I got into Lollipop and played around, but it's kind of sad with some huge cracks in the screen so, I've had it put down but with some light use.

Current battery statistics attached in pictures, but it's VASTLY better, even the projected use when on kitkat was about 13 hours, now i'm seeing over a day. I'll keep everyone posted on the actual results, and i'll update in the battery topics since it's somewhat irrelevant, just wanted to share. Thanks to graffixnyc for the OTA.zip.
[X 2014 General] blinkin:
I'm really curious about your results!
[X 2014 General] Knight77:
About Lollipop... the battery info now shows how long it will last but how can I know how long (in hours+minutes) it is running since last recharge??? The graph is not as much clear about this.
[X 2014 General] matt99017d:
This I completely agree.

However, battery life is far better than KK.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
I can add on. I don't have the pics, but I did have 3.5+ hours of SOT and it lasted over 10 hours. Lollipop is so good. Battery is good now! Moto knew Lollipop would have brought battery improvements, and they were right. The small battery in this phone is not that bad for my personal use. It wasn't bad in KitKat either
[X 2014 General] cpanos:
WiFi or mobile?
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
A mixture of both

[X 2014 General] jamespat93:
To those with android L, is the battery life better for just standby time or screen on time as well?
[X 2014 General] paul_jones:
Lollipop

My battery life has been fine since updating to the Lollipop soak test Saturday, but all today I have had a pretty severe battery drain. Consistently dropping with very very little use. Not sure what the deal is, but the battery has been acting funky today. Anyone else experiencing this with the Lollipop update?
[X 2014 General] qwerty12601:
This new battery graph is confusing. Why isn't there a time since fully charged?

So since we have to guess now, looks like you took it off the charger at approximately 8:45 am, and are down to 3 percent at 11;30ish? So you got 2.75 hours on your battery?
[X 2014 General] Sdobron:
Phone has not been sleeping today and I can't figure out why. Any non root apps to find wake locks?
[X 2014 General] paul_jones:
I agree, the new battery graph is less informative than previous versions. I'm not a fan. But yes, that's about right, got just under 3 hours with very light use. It was running very hot during much of that time, which I imagine contributed to the battery drain slightly. After I charged it up with my turbo charger, it seems to have cooled down after it drained fairly quickly back down below 75%.
[X 2014 General] Green_Laser:
Looks like high use by the calendar app. Have you tried a reset? Should help wakelocks that get stuck.

As far as a wakelock app for non root, we're kinda limited to manually hibernating apps via greenify, GSAM Battery Monitor, and Better Battery Stats. In short, we can use those apps, but don't have all features which truly help us find the troubling wakelock.

I added two pics, one from each app, but again limited about what we can do about it (unless someone else can come in and hand is a useful tip)
[X 2014 General] paul_jones:
Really appreciate your help. Hoping it was just a wakelock that got stuck. I'll try a factory reset if I notice it again.

Thanks again.
[X 2014 General] Green_Laser:
Sure, no problem, hope it helps this matter. Just a regular reboot should do it, no need for factory reset.
[X 2014 General] Sdobron:
Any thoughts on this? Phone is refusing to sleep

Can't trace it to an app and just did a factory reset to no avail. The two bars where it did sleep were just reboots
[X 2014 General] Green_Laser:
Those on lollipop *should* experience better results after a week or two as the OS settles in, so it may be too early to say. When on 5.0 we should be getting better stats than this, I just now took the screenshots before battery dies...

* 30+ hours

* 2 hours SOT

* mostly wifi (~22hrs), some LTE (~8hrs)

* Bluetooth on whole time, paired to moto 360 (as can be seen in GSAM screenshot)

* 5 Gmail accounts + 1 yahoo account (only one Gmail account has calendar, hangouts, Google apps syncing)

* whatsapp + hangouts use

* some gps

* mostly poor reception areas

* cell standby on whole time

- if you notice, my phone has been awake about 7+ hours, meaning I have a wakelock keeping cpu working while screen off (screen was on only 2 hours). Google play services could be part of it (as shown in screenshot)

GSAM Battery and Better Battery Stats show an average drain of 3.3/hr

Pics:
[X 2014 General] Sdobron:
Strange that cpu spy says it's deep sleeping but battery screen says it's awake.
[X 2014 General] markwebb:
This is my battery on new lollipop yesterday.

I took off charger at 645 am yesterday and recorded this at 6 am today. I was 9 hours on LTE yesterday with light to moderate usage and then on Wi-Fi with light usage for about 5 hours. It then slept till 6 am today on Wi-Fi.
[X 2014 General] pbg_87:
I get this after a normal work day. Got my Moto X 2014 last week on friday an as far as i can say its the best phone i ever had.

Everything so smooth and the haptics are awesome.

Good job Moto :good:
[X 2014 General] xgman:
Battery drain noticeably worse than KK on our Pure Edition here.
[X 2014 General] paul_jones:
Better battery life

So I posted yesterday concerning a pretty serious battery drain I was experiencing running the soak test build of Lollipop. Well today couldn't be any more opposite in terms of how the battery has held up. Yesterday, my phone was dead before noon with hardly any use at all. Just drained while idle, I think another commenter was right in saying my calendar app was causing wakelocks. Anyways, today, I unplugged around 745 this morning and am still at 43% at 3 pm. Vastly different experience. While I have seen some reports of even better battery life than this, I for one am very happy and am hoping it was just a one time thing. I've also seen people in other threads reporting that a more final version of Lollipop could be coming soon and it hopefully addresses some of these issues.
[X 2014 General] SawyerStrange:
Hello! New to XDA, but I've been looking at the Moto X (2014) for a while now and I had a general question about your experiences with the battery life. I'm currently using an old, budget LG Optimus L9. Now, GSM Arena gives it hours longer on the standy-time over the Moto X, which made me really worried, but, then I saw the Moto X scored double the screen-on time for playing video and browsing the web.

Is this indicative of actual use? As in, it drains pretty rapidly even if you're not using it, but if you have the screen on it doesn't drain all that much quicker? I'm used to 10-12 hour days or so before coming home and plugging it in, with my battery at about 30 or 40 percent after that period. I buy phones off-contract so I really, really don't want to plop down this much money for something I'll want to replace before two years is up due to the battery.
[X 2014 General] MaKTaiL:
So, this is my first day with Lollipop. I basically used 4G most of the day (80%) and when I got home I stayed on WiFi until the battery went out. I set up so that Battery Saving Mode got automatically activated when battery reached 15%. These are my results:
[X 2014 General] GatorsUF:
So just an FYI, I returned my previous Moto X (xt1096 vzw version) because it was getting very poor battery life compared to what you guys were experiencing. I was getting 10hrs with about 2 hours SOT. I exchanged it for a new one because it appeared that my signal was very poor on the old device.

I am happy to report the new device (same setup of apps etc, with same user....me) and I am now getting almost 15 hours battery life and 3+ hours SOT. I've only had it 2 days and my other device seemed to get a little better after a week or so, so if it gets even better I'll be very happy.

Now I am just hoping to get Lollipop as it appears the battery life is even better there. I really only neeeeed about 13-14 hours to be comfortable, anything more is bonus.
[X 2014 General] nithin1992:
How's the battery life on lollipop? I see many people on the N5 forums complaining a lot about it. Has Motorola added in some magic for us to make it better?
[X 2014 General] ruterjunior:
Very good... In lollipop increase 1 hour...

My kit kat maximun 3hour and 20 minuts time of screen
[X 2014 General] dknell:
I'm on Moto x Verizon kit kat. Getting avg 11-12 hours on battery with 4hrs 30mins SOT. Hoping for better results with 5.0

Awesome !
[X 2014 General] ruterjunior:
How you make?

This is amazing sot.
[X 2014 General] blackjesusbr:
Woa... This is Wifi or 3G/4G ? Auto-Brightness ?

Was looking for LG G2 but after this stat... Sure the my Moto X 2013 deserves a refresh :)
[X 2014 General] rjayflo:
Currently at 5hrs SOT at 10%
[X 2014 General] Galinha1:
Sorry guys i have to charge my phone now coz im going to pick up a friend at the airport and will need to charge the phone a little , i will need to use the GPS and i don't know if 14% will get thru ..

So far , the results attach are as i stated , all things on, at least 1h of gaming, lot of e-mails , texting every 5 minutes and about 40 min, of streaming audio using bluetooth.
[X 2014 General] SCHMANKii:
I'd love to support Motorola as the products since the original X and G are very solid, but the battery life is just not good enough... I want an improvement over my Nexus 5, that will hardly be possible with the new X :( Same with Moto 360.

If only Motorola cared more about the battery :( That they are able to make phones with very good batteries is shown by the Razr Maxx which had 4,3" and 3300mAh if I remember correctly. Why not this time as well? :(
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
Wow, this is actually good. I don't even do half the things you do on your phone. The same amount of SOT for what I do will allow me to have like 10+hrs of battery. Cool

Thanks for the info. My n4 has only 1.5 hrs and I only got 6 hrs of battery and I'm at 20% :(

Sent from my Nexus 4
[X 2014 General] setspeed:
I'm in the same boat as you. If this had a decent size battery (2800 mAh) I would've already ordered it, because I like everything else about it. But I'm not giving up my N5 unless it's for something with considerably better battery life. Guess I'll hold out for the Nexus 6 and cross my fingers.
[X 2014 General] Galinha1:
I wanna see how the next Nexus will turn out to be. I'm feeling the battery life loss from Z2, if moto x was 2800 mha i wouldn't miss the z2 battery.

I have a Black Nexus 5 and a Red one will put those to sell and reserve for new nexus. The Z2 ill hold on to it a little bit , see if get along with moto x battery, other than that moto X is a great phone, and not that the battery is bad, is just not great.
[X 2014 General] SCHMANKii:
I'm also waiting for the next Nexus as I'm not 100% satisfied with the Moto, but if it turns out to be the 5,9 inch 'Shamu' I have no idea what to do, because that is way too big for me :(
[X 2014 General] MYxdaUSERNAME:
I'll be just fine with the battery on the new X.

My Droid DNA, and I honestly never looked so I finally checked, has a 2020mah battery and I've made it through a full day at work streaming Pandora over 4G for 75-80% of the time...now that I dont stream 6 hours a day, I usually get two days in between charges..the X will be no problem.
[X 2014 General] robstunner:
this is what is making me want to cancel my preorder:

http://www.droid-life.com/2014/09/1...-new-moto-x-buy-a-turbo-charger-just-in-case/

under 2hrs screen time in a 15 hr day is... horrible. Seems like idle drain is just as awful as it was on the original moto x.
[X 2014 General] gtalum:
Agreed. The battery life has killed the Moto X as an option for me. I'm back to the Note 4 or Nexus.

I really wish they'd made it a little fatter and squeezed in a 3000 mAh battery.
[X 2014 General] robstunner:
im currently on a nexus, which is killing me because if the next nexus is a moto, i doubt battery will fare much better than this.
[X 2014 General] kratuslogan:
My First Charge

Okay, thats my first report here on Moto X (2014) forum, I came from the Optimus 2x (brave hero :p), and I have to say that i'm really satisfied with the baterry, despite her "size" I could get 1d 5h of moderate use.

My old phone only have 1500mah battery, and i know that the new X wouldn't have a long lasting juice, so.... i'm happy :)

PS: Sorry my bad english.
[X 2014 General] rapha.194:
I know what you're thinking.

Motorola Moto X killed and will kill Nexus
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
You can't expect better standby time form MotoX because there are few features and sensors which remain awake all the time in the background which help in making this phone more smarter. This phone is for those who want something different, some more features, bit more smarter phone for the money, elegant timeless design etc.

I have a 2.5 years old Motorola Atrix 2 and right now I don't see any reason to upgrade from that phone since that is fulfilling my needs, though at a slower pace but it is managing. Only Moto X has got something different which forced me to consider a upgrade this time :)

But yeah, the link you posted is really serious one, the battery backup seem awfully low in last couple of screenshots. I would still wait for more such reviews to hear on battery.
[X 2014 General] Galinha1:
If your carrier signal is above average you will get more than that. I have everything on , high brightness and even did some 4g tether , it did around 3h of screen on time, and 16hr on battery. Just can't remember how much was left on. Will try to post the results without even trying to make it last, see how it goes. I'm on my 5th full charge, so i think the battery already is at full capacity.
[X 2014 General] Faruko:
Im happy with the results to be fair, and i use my phone quite a bit, sure it could be better, but ill take a thinner phone over more battery at this point, especially with Android L around the corner

I dont understand why people want a phone that can last more than a day, You guys really dont charge your phone overnight ? 3-4 hours SOT + 16-18 Hours its decent, not great but should be enough, almost every review says "Enough to last you a day".

Ill update from a Moto G
[X 2014 General] TheDave1022:
The problem is that if you heavily use your phone throughout the day, you wont make it. That's why people want a bigger battery. I have the OG Moto X and the battery life is much better than my gnex, but it's still not great. Commuting into NYC on a 1 1/2 hour ride kills my battery down to about 50% with about an hour of display (cell phone signal sucks on the train line and will kill battery of course). I have to basically live on a charger during the work day or I wont make it back home after 12 hours of commute and work.

Also be aware, my battery was much better when new. After about 9 months, my battery doesnt hold the charge it used to
[X 2014 General] SCHMANKii:
Has anybody seen a battery comparison of the new X against the Nexus 5?

Because battery life on my N5 could be better and I think it's just like [MENTION=681341]TheDave1022[/MENTION] says, if you use it heavily the new X won't make it over your workday...
[X 2014 General] biggiestuff:
on the sites that have compared the battery of the moto x they allow you to add the N5 to the list as well. Seems the new moto X is better in battery life but that might be because of the updated processor 801 vs 800 and that the moto x uses an amoled instead of the IPS the N5 uses.
[X 2014 General] SCHMANKii:
Man, this is quite tough to decide.

There are some websites that say the battery life of the N5 is better, others say the new X is better.
[X 2014 General] xnorex:
I don't understand why there are so many complaints about battery life with NO mention of the fact that Motorola has released a charger for this phone that charges the phone incredibly fast. Sure, this should be no excuse for poor battery life, but the moto x's battery life is definitely not the worst. The lack of a bigger battery really shouldn't be much of a surprise, has no one seen the shape of this phone?! what battery can mold to that shape??? None, hence smaller battery.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
Battery tech sucks currently. Some people need to realize that. In order to fit a big battery in a phone, it would need to either be thicker or taller/wider. I don't want a phone to be too thick, and definitely don't want the phone to be wider or taller. Moto X could have been a little thicker to accommodate a slightly bigger battery, but I am sure it will be fine. Not only does the battery size itself matter, but also hardware/software tweaks to make it last. to me, it seems Motorola actually took time to optimize the small battery to its fullest

off topic: the new iPhone is really thin, and I don't like that lol
[X 2014 General] xnorex:
Saw the iPhone 6 Plus in person today and WOW... That thing is enormous, worst part about it is that its due to the button... a feature that can't change too soon considering their all-in on the fingerprint sensor lol. As far as how thin it is, I agree, we are always going to run into limits at all ends of the spectrum... too thin, too thick, too large, too small. In this case, I didn't find it too comfortable.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
does the iPhone 6 Plus screen not look proportional? it looks like it's tall and narrow from pics. it's like Apple did not want to make it a little wider. reminds me of a king size candy bar lol
[X 2014 General] xnorex:
It looks like a stretched out iPhone... Honestly, ever since I've seen toy cellphones, I can't help but equate the two and reflect on how overly simplistic (at least its home screen) ios looks. I remember when I bought the first iphone, back then it was awesome, now... starting to look reeeaaal dated. Especially when blown up. It basically looks like a kids toy with an incredibly fancy shell is what i'm saying lol.:cool:
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Actually the way Chinese phone companies have adopted iOS and seeing market flooded with those phones, the Apple's own OS started looking like some Chinese stuff. And come to the comparo with MotoX, does apple look any more an innovative and unique smartphone after seeing useful features of Moto X ? And lastly look at the price. :eek:
