I'm just using this classic watch face.. Looks real cool IMO
[Moto 360] thomas333:
I like that one too^^ Do you think I should return my Moto 360 because its broken maybe?
[Moto 360] brotbuexe:
You could test by deactivating bluetooth on the phone or activate airplane mode on the watch. When the watch still keeps going down the same as when you have it connected and just muted it could not be the phone or the BT connection.
[Moto 360] thomas333:
Ok, gonna try that
[Moto 360] Afterlife737:
Final precautions

No! Not for now from what I can see. I was in the same situation 4 days back ( thus the reason I started this thread in the first place) and it got SOO much better! After 12 hours of active use and playing around with it I have 43% battery life ! At this rate I could NO PROBLEM go over night and last till mid day :) I can write out everything I did and you can test.. 1. I let the watch go from 100% all the way down to itself turning off ( even if it meant it died at 10 in the morning and being off all day) at least 3 or 4 times ( this helps the battery get going allot) 2. I factory reset my watch AND phone, uninstalled ALL android wear apps and Android Wear itself 2. I repaired the devices and didn't install ANYTHING. Not even Moto Connect since I thought it was the problem (confirmed it isn't though btw) and most importantly - 4. I reboot my phone every morning. I don't know HOW but it helps me get about 2-3% per hour better than if I don't....

You say you've had the watch since Thursday so you haven't even had it a week yet? As far as I can tell, from my own experience ( I only started getting acceptable battery life after 6 days of use!!) I think it's not defective but there's just a problem somewhere. My watch was more than once identified as defective but performance and now battery life are superb for the amount of use I get out of this thing! Try everything I did and we can go from there. Don't install ANY apps apart from Android Wear ( NOTHING - no exceptions. I know it's a pain but it's necessary for the test to work) and use a stock watch face ( the " Minimal" has the best battery life I think and it's the one I used so use that one so I can compare )

Try all of this and don't forget to reboot your phone BEFORE you take the watch off the charger tomorrow. Today I got around 3.8 - 4.8 % per hour drainage with normal average use. Let's see if we can get there with you :) Report back tomorrow with your stats and results. If anything happens let us know in the thread :) GL !
[Moto 360] thomas333:
Thx man for your effort :) I'm gonna try all that :)
[Moto 360] Afterlife737:
Seriously don't mention it ! :) Sorry I couldn't have wrote it during the day had a lot of seminars today :( It's all part of this community, they've helped me get out of so many sticky situations it's unreal lol :D Just giving my bit back :) Hope it all works :) Let me know!
[Moto 360] thomas333:
I will :D
[Moto 360] steveliv:
I've been continuing testing my battery strength, and i actually determined it was better to reboot my phone after i had put the watch on. like i said earlier, maybe it's my phone, but for whatever reason, rebooting my phone in the morning allows my Moto 360 to last all day and then some. No reboot = steady 7%-8% drain.
[Moto 360] thomas333:
@ Afterlife737 I have a short question, what do you mean exactly by " I repaired the devices and didn't install ANYTHING" ? . Is there something like an repair option, or what exactly did u mean? And I'm currently at 74%(I had to recharge the watch today, because it died when i got home from school :( ) And I currently have a drain of 8% per hour... Whats also very weird is, that my battery for example doesn't drop from 77% to 76% then 75% etc, but directly from 77% to 74% And this massive drop happened right after I used the voice command and I don't get why using 2(!!) voice commands in a row get me to drop 3% within 20 seconds... I'm really getting desperate :/

P.S: Should I try now to drain the battery to 0% in order to charge it from 0 to 100 or should I just use it normally and charge it like from 50% to 100% ?
[Moto 360] abuttino:
Something new I noticed..

I disabled facer with TiBu. Even though I didn't have a facer face on the screen, it halted the battery drain from my watch.
[Moto 360] Crushader:
I stopped using Facer and one day I forgot to charge the watch, the next morning I still have 56% left and when I got home that night it was at 28%. So a total of 36 hours up time and still got 28% battery left, can't complain to that!
[Moto 360] abuttino:
Ya, funny thing is; Facer wasn't even active. Something is odd about this

Edit:

I was bored and wanted to edit one of my faces, so I defrosted facer. While I was editing, the watch was sucking battery down like a drunken sailor.. Again, facer wasn't even activated as the watchface.

50% to 34%

Be careful of facer. The team is sorta pompous and doesn't believe it is a problem with their app.

I posted the other day when I had facer active and my battery didn't charge all the way up that night. Nobody seemed to be too interested in helping and, another blamed me.

As soon as I changed to a stock watchface, the battery charged up full.

Edit 2:

I just did a logcat on the watch. Least to say, there was some disturbingly high amounts of Facer activity. Pedometer, sync, all kinds of crap that probably shouldn't happen with facer not active.

I am going to forward this to the developer. No wonder people's watches are going dead when using Facer. I bet I get LOTS of battery life tomorrow.
[Moto 360] Afterlife737:
Definitely try draining it to 0% and then all the way up if you can! I meant factory reseting your watch and phone and then repairing them like you first did when you got your watch...
[Moto 360] steveliv:
Here is my new chart that shows the last 6 days ( and a tiny bit of today). I determined that the phone reboot needs to occur after the watch comes off the charger in order for me to get the best battery life.

[MENTION=229372]afterlife[/MENTION]

Okay, I followed all your steps (Factory Reset Phone and watch etc.) List of my battery life http://imgur.com/DNr8Ngl

and I am at 17:00 at 28% so a drain of aproximately 6%/hour.... Sometimes I had a drain of 4% per hour and sometimes like 7%. What really made me wonder was that the watch nearly instantly dropped 2-3% when using one or two(!!) voice commands in a row.

Does anyone have the same massive drain when doing that?

I'm starting to run out of Ideas... :/
[Moto 360] Afterlife737:
Hey man, that is actually pretty much my battery life as well.. And yes it does happen sometimes that I drop 2-3% after performing an action or something similar..
[Moto 360] abuttino:
Motorola needs to fix how efficiently the processor works.
[Moto 360] Afterlife737:
Does it happen to you too then?
[Moto 360] abuttino:
Yes. I got a flurry of notifications and, in one hour, my battery life went down to 88% from 100%
[Moto 360] thomas333:
What I don't get is, how people sometimes get one day and a half of battery life or even 48h and I only get 14-16h...
[Moto 360] abuttino:
Right now, I'm working on a 15 hour charge. It'll be dead by 4am (10pm now)

Notifications is what can and will destroy your battery. More than a custom watch face, more than the heart rate monitor.

Trimming your notifications down will help you save on battery life, tremendously.

Hopefully Google knows this and has already addressed it.

What I really think should happen is, have options to turn the screen on with a new notification, or not.

I've gotten a lot of notifications today and my battery life sucks ass, yesterday, it was great.

Mute as many notifications as you can. I'm not sure if it is the vibration motor, screen, data, or, all of the above. But the notification system will kill your battery.
[Moto 360] Afterlife737:
Yeah I find that too. I actually tested this yesterday and will defenitley be muting some apps notifications.... But what I want to ask is how is your PHONES battery ?? I have a Z1 with a kick-ass (3000mAh) 2 day batterylife NO PROBLEM.... But after 8 hours Im down to 30% with Android Wear taking up 53% batterylife.... Next is screen on time with 13%.... What up with that ?! Battery life has been worse since using my watch but only yesterday and today has it ever taken my battery life down so much :( Anyone know anything ??
[Moto 360] abuttino:
Mine is a moto x.

2300mah battery. It's usually OK unless I'm using it all day, then, I'll have to charge it by 3
[Moto 360] Afterlife737:
Yeah is that the new one or the 2013 ?? Nice phones but bad battery life IMO but YMMV is what I go by so if its fine for most people I'll just have to look for something else :eek: Anyway back to the point - what to do when Android Wear takes up so much battery ?! What can I do? Has it happened to you guys??
[Moto 360] Afterlife737:
Wow.. Found a battery hog here look --> see that CPU wake time while the screen was off ?!
[Moto 360] abuttino:
Do you have "Clean Master"? I am doing a clean a few times a day and/or clearing the cache in "app info"

I've not had the wear app take up battery life like that. But if i did, that is the first thing I'd do.. Reboot or clean

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

You have a rooted device right? Check the Wakelocks with Better Battery Saver or Wakelock detector
[Moto 360] Afterlife737:
No I'm sadly not rooted anymore :/ There isnt a very big modding community for the Z1 and I couldn't find a kernel with good battery life so I had to flash the stock ftf back :(

Anyway yeah I will try a factory to clear the cache and reboot my phone and go from there...
[Moto 360] abuttino:
I notice that clearing the cache is a good solution to the battery drain on the watch.

You don't have to clear the data, just the cache.

Yes, I have the 1st gen moto x
[Moto 360] Afterlife737:
I have cleared the cache but 12 kB still stays...
[Moto 360] steveliv:
My stats for the past week. I have been rebooting my phone after i take the watch off the charger. Moderate usage (approx. 50 notifications, 4-8 voice commands). Phone is 1st gen Moto X.

Date - % Drain - % at 14 hours

10/13 - 3.9% - 46%

10/14 - 4.0% - 41%

10/15 - 3.9% - 41%

10/16 - 3.6% - 49%
[Moto 360] abuttino:
I have 24kb still staying..

I'd say 12 is your base number and if it gets higher, clear again
[Moto 360] AuralPsynapse06:
I feel like one of few who has had their moto 360 go onto day two with more than 60 percent battery :confused:
[Moto 360] abuttino:
I've done it on 30%

Like, go to sleep with the watch at 30 and go most of the next day until it turns off
[Moto 360] abuttino:
More evidence that the notifications can suck your battery life.

Not many today, maybe 10, battery will be fully discharged at 2pm tomorrow.

That will be 27 hours off the charger.
[Moto 360] v3ngence:
60% after 48 hours is so far beyond what everyone else is seeing...
[Moto 360] abuttino:
That would be if you aren't wearing the watch, no apps, no nots. No screen on time
[Moto 360] xda4exige:
My Moto360 is now lasting longer than my (new) Moto X!

I am using the "Secret Agent" watchface...it is great...shows battery meter on both the watch and the phone.

I get all kinds of notifications, phone calls, I'm just using it.

I have messed around with it as I installed that crazy microsoft keyboard...that was a pain getting ADB running with bluetooth on Windows 8.1. I think for the longest time...the OS was blocking the connection and there was this window under everything else asking me to let it through....sigh...

Anyway, that thing works, kind of, yet I don't know of any app with a text input box yet.

But I tried to address the HEAT issue. When I leave it on the charger..it is HOT. So I do this...I got one of those old fashioned rotary plug timers....I make it so it does minimum on time...about 40 minutes. I have two "on" time slots separated by about 6 hours. I turn in on at bedtime...it cycles and the watch is charged and cool in the morning. ( Heat is supposed to ruin the battery).

Anyway, I noticed something one morning, since it is dark now...the heart sensor light was ON...forever...I shut the watch off and then on again...and the LED was OFF....could this LED be getting stuck on...Firmware getting a bit confused or something? Maybe they don't have a positive way to see if the LED is on or OFF...maybe there is a toggle setting in the code without reading back the control bit ( some software guy likes to use XOR to toggle on and off and maybe an IRQ gets in the loop and confuses it.) Anyway...that LED stuck on cannot be good for the battery.

Check yours. Might explain why these resets do something in the morning.

Just guessing. Otherwise, mine is doing fine....but the MotoX battery is too small...I'm getting to 30% every day...with almost no use ( other than Moto360 stuff). My old Droid Bionic would last more than 20 hours...using it.

Too bad.

My experience with Moto 360

Firstly I would like to thank you for this post. I could see that I was not the first one to think that his Moto 360 was broken due to very poor battery life.

I followed you suggestions and now I am having 30+ hours of use with a single charge. In my opinion, it is very good. It is better than I was expecting.

One of the users posted a large battery drop when he was riding a bike. The same happened to me when I was driving my car: it dropped 10% in a 25min ride. I discovered one way to overcome that: just put the clock in theater mode. In this case it drops 1 or 2% in the same situation.
[Moto 360] Badelhas:
What battery life should I expect if I have ambient Mode and auto brightness on?
[Moto 360] StariX37:
I just got my Moto 360 yesterday...i thought of checking the battery life ..so i left my phone in Flight Mode for almost 80% of the day but still the phone died at 20 hrs.

During this period got a few Whatsapp & Google + notifications.

Using the simple watchface by moto.

I checked the battery usage of wear app it showed moto connect app..but i dont have that app installed on my phone ...so where did it come from ??
[Moto 360] addiebeth:
battery life down the drain recently

For about the past two weeks my 360's battery has been draining like crazy! From the time I take my watch off the charger at 4:30am until the time I open the doors at work at 5:00am my battery has drained 10%. Seems to get worse after that draining about 10%every half hour. Sometimes I can get it to stop if I restart the watch and my phone and resync apps, but doesn't always work. I tried deleting all apps from my watch and switched to a simple stock watch face, but that isn't fixing it either. Was working just fine before the lollipop and Google services updates. Using an LG G2.

Update- hubby is using moto x and just started to experience battery drainage on his 360. Checked battery status and android wear was at 21% and Bluetooth was at 17%. In 4 1/2 hours his battery went from 100% down to 14%.

[Xperia Z3 General] rushless:
Really interested in the Verizon version, if 32GB is offered. I like the good quality & efficient 1080p display rather the Qhd, the external sd slot and the audio quality focus. I already know the nav bar hides with video media, but every review I have seen shows the nav bar taking .5" of space with browsing, games and all other apps. That means the device is really 4.7" for apps. Immersive mode does not appear very immersive with the Z3.

Also wondering if root is easy, since need to be able to write to the sd card rather than just the stock apps. All I want for root is to enable card writes.
[Xperia Z3 General] shook187:
Keep in mind root requires a unlocked bootloader, a unlock bootloader means crappy camera.
[Xperia Z3 General] rushless:
I might wait until L is released then and see if card writes are actually enabled again as reported it would. Will believe it when I see it.

Preordered the Note 4, but the Z3 seems more appealing- presuming 32GB, I can hide the nav bar in all apps and write to the sd card. Note 4 is rooted already, so card writes should be covered. The

nav bar issue is not an issue by default with the a Samsung device. Still like the Z3 as a device overall though. Easier one hand operation as well.

Hello,

I want to make my S4 i9505 to enter in "bootloop problem."

There is a way to do this without root or custom rom? (I use official kitkat rom)

Any "safe way" to do this? I mean, something that i can recover before.

PS: It's my own smartphone. It's for academic purposes, i want to "brick" the smartphone and then "bring it back to life".

Thank you
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntaresOne:
You can softbrick in several ways. With root is better by the way.

Without root: start an update through Odin, to be sure detach USB cable when you see "SYSTEM". You'll get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen, to repair just reflash through Odin.

With root: just delete framework-res.apk or services.jar under system/framework for example. To repair, reflash through Odin.

To hardbrick, I don't suggest it, it's also difficult since bootloader is write protected (only Odin flash or complete OTA update can write, only upgrade and no downgrade. In any other case, JTAG)

I'm not responsible for anything

Inviato dal mio GT-I9505
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

I'd like to reinforce your other answer. You want to do it? It's okay, after all the device is yours, but don't come here putting the fault on us later.

To bootloop is not a hard thing, while with no root is quite a harder thing to do. I don't see why you wouldn't root to do this. After all, when bringing the device back to life it's expected that you will restore stock firmware therefore you'll lose root.

Recently I've bootlooped my S4 installing a mod and running ART with it (the mod wasn't compatible with ART), but well, you'll need root to do it.

And I'd like to warn you about hard bricks. It's really not a fun thing, you shouldn't try even if you think you have complete control over your device. I already accidentally hard bricked my S4, couldn't fix it not matter what I did (I was known in Xoom forum and Nexus 10 forum as "The Unbricker"), had to pay for a guy who had a JTAG fix it for me. Do not even attempt it! I've heard that some cases didn't have the happy ending mine had.

Well, all I have to say now is good luck with this academic experiment of yours. Hope it goes right ;).

[General Questions and Answers] History Maker:
Hi there,

Last summer a friend and I made a road trip through the USA and Canada.

While editing all the footage I came across the following screenshot (driving from Nashville to Denver).

I already had some ideas for music, but upon seeing the screenshot I thought it would be cool to get spoken directions, for example 'In 861 kilometers, turn right' as MP3, to add to the video.

Now I'm wondering if it would be possible to simulate let's say the route from Nashville to Denver and capture some of Google's Voice Guidance.

A different solution I was thinking about is getting access to the actual Voice Guidance files and create my own spoken directions, however I'm guessing these files may not be present on my smartphone, but stored somewhere safe on Google's servers.

Looking forward to your input!
