One thing is that here in Brazil the 4G signal is transmitted by band 7, at 2.6GHz as a data package only. While the voice comes at 3G frequency.

So, while you are on WiFi, the LTE built-in chip is turned off and the 2.6GHz stops, and it can help us with a little battery juice.

I don't know if the LTE on USA comes with the voice pack. If it does, there is no point is disable it, since you need to receive the voice pack even if the data pack does not process inside the built-in antenna chip.
[X 2014 General] biggiestuff:
So for those who had the moto x 2013 and now have the moto x 2014, is your battery life better, same, or worse?

thanks
[X 2014 General] Julianocas:
Better.
[X 2014 General] biggiestuff:
That definitely gives me hope. how much better for you?
[X 2014 General] svtfmook:
Mine has been great, only have 3 full charges since I picked it up Monday, I'll do a full battery test this weekend
[X 2014 General] nimper:
I've been using my pure edition on Wi-Fi only with the cell radios disabled so this is going to be an extreme result but over the last couple days (and a single charge) I've had 5 hours 8 minutes of screen time and it's at 7% battery.

This will obviously change once I activate my cell service! But it's an idea of what is possible.
[X 2014 General] dpw2atox:
I had the 2013 Moto X on Verizon and now the 2014 Moto X on AT&T. While I can't do a true comparison as things will be different based on the carrier/coverage alone, I have noticed that the new Moto X has overall better battery life. I really can't wait to see though what a combination of updated kernel drivers and Android L will to do further improve the battery life.
[X 2014 General] graffixnyc:
I get horrible battery like on my Moto X with the way I use the device. I have yet to see screen on get even 3 hours(I mostly average TWO!). Yesterday I got less than 12 hours total time. It was more like 11. I am a heavy user and the Moto X just can't cut it for my needs :(
[X 2014 General] nimper:
There are options with much beefier batteries out there - surely you were aware of them? It's not like the 2014 X's mostly-average battery life was going to be a secret.

That being said - what is your typical "heavy" usage? Do you have Netflix streaming over LTE all day?

Hi, here is my test for today :

Model : XT1092

Settings:

LTE on , WiFi off ( but available for location services) , location on high precision mode, Bluetooth and NFC disabled, brightness on auto mode.

Google now activated, but hot-word deactivated.

Moto voice deactivated, active display activated, gesture activated.

One Google account with g+, all sync activated.

One hotmail account, sync once every hour.

Cerberus app installed, consume battery in background with location service.

Description of a work day :

Off charger at 8am

8h15 to 9am : train and subway, sometime of signals. :(

9am to 18pm : at work in Paris

18pm to 19pm : train and subway

19pm: back home.

Usage today:

phone, SMS, mails, Tapatalk, LTE speed test.

Very A lot of web browsing ( about 3 hours today ) and about 20 minutes of gaming.

407Mo have been downloaded today.

Result : 3h53 SOT.

Not the best, but definitively not weak.

In a normal day I would not doing more than 2h30SOT.

Im getting around 12-16h with 4-5h of screen on time, quite decent

, more than enough to get back home after work

(4G, Wifi, some youtube, Spotify all the time i can, etc...)
[X 2014 General] kertong:
Getting about 12-14 hours of usage with 4-4.5h of SOT (medium to heavy use).

LTE always on, wifi at work and home so it's on wifi about 90% of the time. Screen on autobright via lux+cf.lumen (and I like to keep it pretty bright). facebook syncing, dropbox camera uploads on, instagram push notifications on, facebook messenger running, no hangouts though. About 30 minutes daily of diceplayer playing a local tv show mp4/avi I have saved on memory in a floating window while surfing reddit. another 40 minutes or so of spotify (offline-sycned playlist). pebble connected to it 24/7. I don't use moto voice, and I've turned off attentive display.

It's no z3 compact, but it's plenty for what I do - once I get home at 6pm I use the phone heavily and avoid opening up my laptop, and it'll last me until 9-10pm before shutting down.
[X 2014 General] rust991:
It seems like the battery has gotten better since first getting it.
[X 2014 General] qwerty12601:
Screen was at 70% brightness for about 2 hours, rest were auto brightness. Heavy use..

YouTube, Flipboard, chrome. Was on WiFi about half the time. I have to say I'm very impressed. Better battery life than my girlfriends HTC one m8..

This thing is getting better battery SOT than my G3 with a 3000mAh battery... Almost 3hrs SOT with 50% battery to go.... Damn....
[X 2014 General] Schultz_91:
I don't understand it.. Can anyone help me? I haven't been able to break 3 hrs SOT since I got the device. I have the pure edition. Cell standby is always using as much as my screen... and I don't know why. I have great signal pretty much everywhere... 3-4 bars 90% of the time, 2-3 the other 10%. I literally have everything frozen that is possible, including google now. I also greenify troublesome apps (including play services and the google service framework), and according to BBS I have very little to no wakelocks. I also have location disabled unless I'm using it. It's as barebones as it gets.. :confused:
[X 2014 General] durrell12:
I'm getting ridiculous battery life with mine. This is with tethering a lot today for work and using it quite a bit to stream music while I helped a friend move. 2hr 15m SOT. The small bump at the end was my 20 minute drive home.
[X 2014 General] automaddux:
I'd say that the battery life for the first day is pretty decent. I'm gonna try and see how much i get with NFC and Google Now turned off. Also as you can see, might not have gotten as far had i not plugged it in for about ten minutes.

It is far better than the Nexus 5 I had. I loved that phone but battery life was ****ty.
[X 2014 General] qwerty12601:
Right now:

14h 26m I'm at 39%

SOT : 3h 46m

Used navigation for 30 minutes. Lots of chrome, Pandora, flashlight app, about 75 texts, phone calls 58 minutes.

I don't want to jinx anything, but this battery life isn****ing phenomenal.

And I can't attach my screen shots? Files are too large it says...
[X 2014 General] Judge584:
Please post screenshots about battery, and not only the one with SOT. History details screenshot?

Is ART enabled? Bad for battery on moto X.
[X 2014 General] Ricowan:
I love it!

Granted, I've only had the phone for two and a half days, but coming from an aging Galaxy S3 this phone kicks ass in the battery department.

On the first day, after a 100% charge, I went 24 hours and had 55% battery left. This was a normal Friday for me, usage-wise, with the exception that the night before I downloaded all of the apps I normally use, over wifi. GSam is showing my average battery life is currently 1d 20h. I have bluetooth on most of the time paired to my Fitbit and my car, weather updates set to 60 seconds, exchange synching every 30 minutes, etc. I don't talk on the phone much, use sms about average I guess. I'm NOT a social app user, can't stand Facebook, etc. Even when it was new, my S3 would only last 24 hours before it was screaming at me to be charged, and recently it was asking to be plugged in after only about 10 hours or so, so I am really really happy with my new Moto X 2.

Only thing I really miss is root.
[X 2014 General] gotzaDroid:
My guess, you got a rouge app keeping your phone awake. That, or you have a bum battery.
[X 2014 General] youwonder:
This is my greatest fear with jumping on board with the new moto x.

I'm not worried about the Mah rating, so much as I am kitkat. I had a 2013 x for 6 months and on 4.2 it was great, didn't feel like the phone had a 2200mah battery. then I got the 4.4 OTA and it sucked for battery life. I don't know what changed but it was really a bummer to go from charging every night to having to top my battery up mid day.

My nexus 5 (which has mediocre battery life as well) is dying (charging port and microphone issues, LG why) and i'm torn between this, the N6, and the Z3. Only thing holding me back from choosing this is hearing about battery life results.

[X 2014 General] varun.gid:
I have a Z3 and the battery life is crazy! Easily 5 - 6 Hrs SOT. The Moto X2 doesn't deep sleep that well too.. over my 6hrs of sleep I lost 5% battery. Z3 just lost 2%. But Z3 has one issue! Root! The loss of DRM keys and camera performance is a big disadvantage if u root Z3.
[X 2014 General] shahud:
Great battery life for me. 1 day and 2 hours off the charger with 5 hours SOT.
[X 2014 General] blinde:
How is the battery life compared to Nexus 5? I'm thinking about this or Nexus 6 to replace my old and trusted 5.

It just bothers me that both Nexus 5 and Moto X 2014 have the same size battery and it's quite poor.
[X 2014 General] rust991:
Are you in an area with poor coverage? It always seems to me like, when I have full bars it does better on battery.
[X 2014 General] automaddux:
So after having the device for a few days in getting back into my usual routine and therefore my phone usage should be where it normally is.

I took my phone off charge @ 4a this morning and it is 11pm now. This phone hasn't seen a charger since 4 and I still have about 20% left.

SOT Is mostly looking at Google Play Newsstand and g+. I also played some music on my way into town earlier and I've adjusted the screen brightness based on whether I was outside. Location is on battery saver and I've turned off NFC. Moto display is also on.

I was worried when looking at the reviews and what ppl said about the battery being so small but I don't think I'll have any trouble getting this phone to last all day for me. I don't play a whole lot of games with my phone, I use it mostly for looking up stuff on the go, keeping track of things I need to do, looking at other android products (obviously), music, and sometimes navigation.

On top of that, this phone has my tag engraved on the back, my custom color and is as close to stock without actually being on stock.

Good work Motorola!

[X 2014 General] BrokenWall:
I look through this thread and it makes me feel like I am either using my phone wrong or incorrectly. Alot of people are pushing 4-5hrs with 16hr usage times.

I get about 3Hrs SOT and about 12-14hrs out of a charge.

Google Now: OFF

Moto Display: ON

Moto Actions: ON

Touchless Controls: OFF

WIFI: OFF unless I am at home (4G LTE, elsewhere)

GPS: High Accuracy (Most apps that use GPS, I have the option disabled within the application, ex: facebook)

Greenifed Facebook and Facebook Messenger

I use the phone to stream Google Play All Access on my drive to and from work which is about an hour each way. Google Play manages its own local cache of items I stream, I don't keep anything local on the phone.

I am having a hard time understanding why BetterBatteryStats shows the screen is usually either dimmed or dark, even when the screen is completely off. maybe it is picking up the Moto Display.
[X 2014 General] Wutang200:
The best I've had from my old Moto X was 2d 6h.

I'm currently on 2d 1h with 21% battery remaining so looks like it might just edge it out.

Overall I think the new Moto X is only around 10% better on battery life compared to the old one for my usage habits.
[X 2014 General] varun.gid:
Ya i'm confused how some people are getting a totally above the average battery life.. 5 -6 hrs of SOT??!!

I have used this for a week now. Gives me 15-16 hrs of charge time with 3.5-4Hrs SOT Tops.. Shall be posting screenshots after few more days of testing.
[X 2014 General] vlamnire:
Probably really good signal strength. Mine's yellow all the time and I get 3.5 SOT hours usually per day. I imagine if they fix the radio idle drain it'll give a little bump.

Not sure why people are getting such bad life. This is heavy use with some Ted talks, Google play music streaming, Netflix and some local video. At 12% remaining. LTE all day and auto brightness with Google Now. Nfc off.
[X 2014 General] stastnysnipes26:
How are the batteries so hit and miss in this thread? I usually get around 4 hrs. SOT per day and I typically don't even look at how long I am off the charger for since I never have really been close to my battery dying in a day. I would say I typically get about 16 hrs off the charger though but usually go to bed with around 20% charge left. This is all with GPS on high accuracy, Google now enabled, screen on auto bright one Google account, facebook account. I will post screenies later tonight before I go to bed for the night.
[X 2014 General] BrokenWall:
Notice my previous post here.

There are others here that are asking questions about how people are getting the usage times and SOT. No one is aiding others or providing more data than just simple two screenshots.

So I ran the battery down until it died, charged it to 100% (took just over 2 hours). Screenshot below is current, 75% after 3 hours. 22 minutes sot at the moment.

2:56 on battery

22min SOT

16GB Pure on AT&T network.

not everyone is having the same great experience with the device, it may be a bad rom install, it may also be a radio issue. If I push it hard I can get it to 3hrs SOT and 14hrs usage. Wifi has been off since it got off the charger. Signal has been showing mostly tan with some yellow and very little green.

I am using alot of the tricks I used on my old Moto X to keep the battery usage low. Google Now is off, most apps don't use the GPS except maps which I don't use often. I do stream music on my drive into work.

I added up all the verizon times and averaged it all out, seems to be about 14 hours average. Unfortunately the survey website I chose is very limited in functionality and I cannot compare data, it only gives me totals. If you feel like doing another one I'm all for it, however I believe waiting a week or two might be a good idea. When I created the survey I was getting about 8-10 hours at best with my phone, now with the same SOT I am getting closer to 16 hours. It seems to be getting better, so as people use their phones we should see better battery times.
