Not sure what the problem is, but I had some terrible stats last night. It seems like it's been like this the past week or so, after I had some pretty good runs from the battery.

I charged it up to 100% around 6pm yesterday, and had some light usage from there until about 1 am. After waking up around 1pm, these were the reported stats.

It looks like it used about 30% while I was sleeping.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
try location services in battery saving mode.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pistonman94:
It wasn't for a little while, but I actually changed it back to battery saving the previous day, so this report is with battery saving enabled.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] danger2u:
like always the QHD screen and stanby kills battery life on my Maxx.

i didn t get more then 5 hours screen on.

my friends Oneplus one makes 7 hours or more.

we need an update here.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] the_rooter:
It has nothing to do with updates. Its varies per phone and user. heavy usage u will see more SoT. Light usage u will see better battery life. Every user and phone is different from others.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] danger2u:
agreed with u,but the QHD is a total waste on a smartphone.

on a tv or tablet yes it worth
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
I totally missed your comment. Apologies!

power + vol down takes a screenshot.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Get a different device :p

Plenty of people seeing 7-9 hours.

It could be the battery drain issue we had is still an issue on the Maxx. We were fixed up with OTA.

Also, think about what causes the QHD to drain so fast:

Anything it has to render. Web browsing and watching movies won't make a difference. Games on the other hand...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
True, but you did buy it knowing that beforehand, right? So who's fault is it really?

I personally bought it for:

Snapdragon 805

3GB ram

Near stock interface

I use it for:

Phone functions :p

Development

Web browsing

Development

Development

I don't use it for games, because I know it will kill the battery.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] DoctorB0NG:
It would've been neat to see the Turbo with full HD instead of qHD. I'm sure people wouldn't be having issues with the claimed 48 hours battery alongside good SoT.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Wynnded:
LOL, no need! I tried that but I must've messed it up and then got sidetracked by something. Thanks for confirming my suspicions though. Now we're going to have to wait three days before I can reproduce the overnight idle power drain from a full charge with my particular and very non-specific settings. :D

Anyway, I'm convinced that with a bunch of stuff disabled, the idle drain is pretty darn small. I'm happy!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
I've started re-enabling stuff over time though :p

I'm playing with Battery Guru right now. IF (big if) the gps can behave like it should, I expect great things from it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] chris2507:
yes you're correct it's moto maxx.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Wynnded:
I'm sure I will as well, after I get acclimated to the primary operations.I've only had this since Saturday, charged it for the first time last night and have only had two brief phone conversations. The snow shoveling has kept me busy. Want some? Free shipping...

14 hours with an indicated 92% battery level at the moment.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
False facts?? Now I know your trolling lol

Name one?

Rooting video? I claimed something on that? I think the question is do you remember? I asked if anyone tried it. No one tried it, so I did. It failed. What did I claim? Please, educate me. I claimed my g2 went like 12 hours and still showed 100%. Then I corrected myself and said it was 9 hours. Then showed the proof. What I claimed was true. If it's just some trickery from LG, is besides the point. I claimed it and it's true. So what the hell am i claiming that's falsified. I am so curious what your troll-like remark will be.

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------

Now, on to the actual thread topic. I have Tasker killing my data when I'm on wifi. I still get a decent chunk of battery taken away from cell standby. Any other tricks to reduce that?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cyberr8der:
Good grief man. Just use the G2 and stop killing this thread.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] streebs87:
After today's use.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] joshm.1219:
Consider yourself lucky. I'm on my second turbo now and cell standby continues to be my biggest battery drainer. I live in a city with full LTE coverage.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] streebs87:
Do you use any sort of app to clean up your device? I use Clean Master to clean out my phone at least once a day and noticed it helps with battery performance, along with a few tweaks here and there. I don't use auto brightness, rather keeping it at a little below half works. I also have my network settings set on LTE/CDMA instead of Global. Turning off WiFi always scanning helps a bunch too.

There's a guide here somewhere with tips on conserving battery. That's where I got most ideas from and it's helped out a lot.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Wiggz:
Can I make a suggestion please?

When posting stats and screenshots about battery life, can users also detail what connectivity has been used? For example a total battery life of 26 hours, within which 20 hours with the WiFi on, 5 hours with Bluetooth on and 30mins with Location services on at High Performance.

I just think it will help others gauge.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Wynnded:
I know that these aren't going to be typical for pretty much anyone, but they are what I got while on Christmas Break and not much use. So the heck with it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zed011:
I get a 7% drop after idling for 12 hours, is this a good result? My G3 drops 3% after the same time.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cyberr8der:
7% over 12 hours is roughly .6% per hour which is pretty good. 3% over 12 hours seems to good being .25 per hour. That means you should get 400 hours or over 16 days per charge. That being said LG does the math in a weird way I think. For instance my G2 will stay on 100% for quite a while but then once it starts dropping it goes down faster. Try starting them both off at 60% battery and see what they do. If you can get 16 days out of the LG stick with it. I've never seen a phone get anything close to that.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
The 100% thing is definitely some weird thing with LG. Probably just the illusion of more battery life? I don't know, but they do have much better idle time. Currently my g2 (because I use it for nothing) is at 70% with 184 hours on. WiFi and BT are off but everything else is on. As a disclaimer the phone is rooted with greenify. I don't recall what apps I greenifyed but I'm assuming a lot considering apps have only used up 2 percent of the battery lol

As another disclaimer, I've already had this discussion with someone else in this thread and me saying the idle time was better was translated into I think the g2 is a better phone or something lol. Its not! So let's not start that again :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cyberr8der:
30% battery used over 184 hours is even less than the .25 per hour from your 1st run. I've never heard of a phone running for over a week using 30% of its battery. Something definitely doesn't seem right with your numbers. Hard to estimate what's going on because as you said it's not doing anything. Sitting with greenify isn't going to give an accurate comparison. So back to your original post. I think the .6 drain per hour you're seeing on your turbo is fine.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] btbam006:
2 hours 10 minutes SoT. 18 hours 21 minutes at 53%. After the first full charge through,still going strong though!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dandrumheller:
Wow. Gonna monitor this thread. Was expecting much better results. I know this is an apples to oranges comparison, but my wife's new Galaxy Alpha routinely runs a pace to get 4+ hours screen on and 30+ hours off charger. On an 1850mAh battery. Even with the bigger processor and screen differences, the turbo should be easily capable of 6 hours SOT and 36 hours off charger. Grrr.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pjcforpres:
Here is an update from me... as you can see, on my first full charge, doing pretty damn good. My usage is mostly web surfing, facebook, two gmail's syncing, texting, a couple short phone calls, and about 30 minutes of youtube videos so far. About 50% of the time I have been on Wi-Fi... I only have 2 bars of LTE at home, and 3 bars at work.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] kalestar:
Here are my battery stats. Second day with phone, first full charge. Started at like 6:30 am. Still not completely drained, have like 18% left. Been on reddit and browsing chrome all day. Also was doing some practice questions on it for education stuff. Pretty awesome battery life to be honest.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dandrumheller:
And faith is restored. Thank you.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] geoff5093:
The thing about people posting their battery stats and SOT is that there are many variables that effect those figures, depending on how they use the device, the WiFi/cellular signal, etc. Today I tried using both my G3 and Turbo exactly the same throughout the day, and the results are pretty much neck and neck, I was hoping for a significant improvement with the Turbo since it has a 900mAh larger battery.

Battery life after 14hrs

I have been on my turbo doing normal things today. Web browsing, Facebook, taking photos and downloaded a few apps. Been on wifi most the day, have access to wireless ac at work not sure if that has much effect? I will be interested to see if performance of the battery changes at all after a few charge cycles.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] sofa k1ng:
A little dissapointed in the battery life, its not really that the battery life is bad I just think it was a little over hyped. Over all i'm happy with my purchase coming from an iPhone 5 I had to charge twice a day while at work. My previous android before that was the gnexus i also had to charge that twice a day at work as wrll. If the tutbo can get me through the day at work without it having to be charged I will be happy.

My stats are after getting the phone running it down to about 7% and charging to 100% you will also see where I couldn't decide whether to charge the phone before work or not, the phone wasn't pluged in for more than a minute or two.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] daboyal006:
My updated times, not bad but not as great as promoted. This is my second full charge..

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Restola:
I'd call the turbo a "strong 1 day phone".

2 hours of calls and an hour of Google play music (which apparently keeps the phone awake)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Decree:
Screen on time would have been higher except work from 9-6 :(
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Andromjb:
Not sure what all the fuss is about, my results have been pretty great so far. I haven't even charged my phone with one cycle yet since getting a replacement 64GB around 6PM EST. It was charged up to 81% out of box. I also run Bluetooth with a Moto 360 all day as well.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Cobra04:
You guys use your phone way too much. Unless it's for work, get off and enjoy the day. Battery is great coming from the DROID DNA. Apparently where I live never has good signal strength.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] INCREMENTAL:
So far what im seeing im dissapointed and i hate that, i wanna buy this phone, i love the droids, love moto, love the way it looks but this phone is plagued with something eating its battery. Droid Lifes show earlier mentioned that there has to be something eating on it. Having a smaller screen then the G3, amoled panel using less power and a 900mah more battery and it barely goes longer then a G3. Something isnt right.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jr6278:
I am debating if i should switch to tmobile and grab the true z3 or get the turbo. Battery life is huge for me. It seems like 75% of the posters are unhappy with there Battery life. My brother has the i phone 6 plus and the Battery on it is weak compared to the sonys
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] TheBiles:
5 hours screen on. Spent all morning with awful coverage. My M8 would have needed 3 charges.

Sent from my XT1254
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mobilehavoc:
Yeah yesterday I got 18 hours and 4 hours screen on time. This includes taking a lot of pictures during Halloween and other stuff. On any other phone including Galaxy S5, Nexus 5 I've never had more than 3hr SOT and that's with far less total usage.

So far so good. I know it could be more but I want to use all the features of this phone/apps and keep my Moto360. Wireless charging makes it easier to drop it on a pad during the day if I need.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] puska:
I hope to get GSM version of droid turbo instead of nexus 6 like what I see especially because droid turbo will get even better battery life when it gets lollipop 5.0
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
Damn names that start with Z lol two different people :) and no it wouldn't give an accurate comparison. It's definitely an unfair advantage.

On a side note, I seem to get better screen on time with the system auto brightness vs manually adjusting it when needed. I know people don't like the system auto brightness and lean towards something like lux but I've had it on for a week and it's pretty spot on for the brightness I need . Probably the best I've ever used as far as auto brightness goes.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gabo_e30:
Idle time is way better on my galaxy s5. Both Verizon. On my turbo the cell standby takes up a huge chunk of the battery. I still get around 4 hours of SOT but that seems pretty normal compared to other phones.... The most I've gotten out of it is 5 hours and a couple of minutes when connected to WiFi.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] DoctorB0NG:
The turbo has pathetic idle drain. Hopefully it gets fixed with lollipop otherwise the turbo will remain a locked-down dud.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gabo_e30:
Yeah. So much for a. 3900mah battery that lasts as much as the s5. I've left my s5 without charging overnight and it looses about 5% when the turbo looses about 13%...

Hopefully they fix it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lovetohustle:
Yes I agree I'm not sure why the Moto Max's battery drains a good 10-12% from being idle over night for a good 8-9 hours with wifi off, auto brightness on. I can see from reading similar previous posts from other members on XDA are experiencing the same issues. I can only hope when 5.0 gets released for the Droid Turbo or Moto Maxx that it will help with the battery draining issue when phone's idle, keep in mind I have Moto voice, actions and assist all turned off as well as those I can only imagine would deplete the battery even faster! I sold my iPhone 6 128gb to buy the Moto Maxx I know I made the right decision but how come the battery time's are pretty damn close and iPhone 6 has a 1810 maH battery and 4."7 screen. Moto Maxx has 5.2" 3900maH battery.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
I drain 5% max in an 8 hour period.

Sometimes less.

iOS drains less battery because it has less services running, sleeps apps like mad, and Apple has figured out amazing battery tricks. Look no further than the battery life of an MBP vs. a Windows laptop.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lovetohustle:
How do you only drain 5% over an 8-9 hour window? I don't have any bloatware on my Moto Maxx I know VZN Droid Turbo has some bloatware installed that you might of frozen using Titanium Backup? Also not trying to get off topic but have you noticed that Tom Tom US & Canada GPS app is not compatible with the Moto Maxx, which I find kind of strange. I wish my Moto Maxx would only drain 5% over night while I sleep.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
How? I am probably more picky on what I install. I also have gps turned off when not using it as well as BT.

I'm also in a bad signal area. I'm easily at -110db at any given time when at home.

Well I could leave my LG G2 for 8-10 hours idling with 0% used. No greenify or magic tricks :)

Wish I saved a screenshot before I got rid of it.

Shame it had such a lousy camera. Only reason I sold it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Already discussed. That whole take forever to drop from 100% is a software trick, not reality.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
I lose 5% max in a bad signal area.

You guys need to realize that battery drain is not linear.

The S5 couldn't hope to last as long as the turbo from full to empty.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
It is a trick, no doubt... However, I'm at 267 hours and it just hit 50% battery (lg g2). Trick or not, LG definitely figured out how to manage stand by time. BTW, BT, WiFi and GPS are off..everything else is on.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Except apps.

Greenify, right?

Do you have it active on Verizon? Without a Sim the radio shuts off and might as well be in airplane mode.

Radio and screen are the two main battery killers in a smartphone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
Yeah its still active on Verizon. I don't use it, but I have to pay for the line anyways so its a backup phone. And yes, greenify. I don't recall what apps I have added to greenify but I'm sure it was pretty much anything I could add that wouldn't cause system issues. Cell standby and system standby are pretty much the only thing that if used power so far.

It would be interesting to freeze every single thing you could on the droid turbo. That the system would allow you to. And let it sit for 24 hours. Anybody game? Lol I would try it but I can't put this phone down for more than 10 minutes
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
I'd be game but I develop on my phone and can't afford to test things like this.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Wynnded:
I came from the S5. In my experience, this is bang on. With the S5, used moderately (for me), I could go two full days and was down to the single digit percentages. With my Turbo, I can use it aggressively (again, for me) and not kill the battery in two full days. I'd be willing to say that I'll have an indicated 20-35% remaining. FWIW.:cool:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] 7eregrine:
I have yet to get MORE then one day out of my Turbo. Of course, I couldn't get a HALF DAY out of my last phone, so I think that says a lot. :D

Ingress is a total battery killer.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
All games on this phone are due to the screen.

It's sad a device like Moto Maxx with nice hardware but sh*ty software and crap battery management.

Didn't told in respect and to avoid the fools.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
It is what it is and I'm happy with the phone. But it would have been cool to know what a 1080p display would have done on battery life. I don't have the best eyes in the world, and I can say I can't tell lol it's a great looking screen. But I couldn't tell you if it was 1080p or 2k.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:

Which is more foolish, to continually bash a device or to stick with it?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] wingsfortheirsmiles:
I get what he means coming from a z3c but all have their pros and cons: I found the build quality lacking personally as much as I was impressed by the battery life & stamina mode, YMMV.

I'm just speculating but I think Verizon had some influence in getting Moto to chuck all the highest end specs they could into the phone and it's resulted in what we have. At least Turbo users have reduced standby drain through updates which also added VZ functionality, that's something that at least CAN still be improved.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Luhccas-X10:
Do you want to buy it?

Because sell this thing isn't easy as i thought.

I'm not the one hanging around a forum for the sake of bashing a device. If I don't like a device, I'll say my piece and move on.

How many times will you say yours before you move on? I'm running out of fingers to count on. I come looking for discussion and data on the device, not constant whining about everything someone hates about it.

Oh and for the record, we have 9 hour SOT posts in this thread.

No, I don't want your Maxx, I am content with my Turbo.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] wingsfortheirsmiles:
Agreed - the screen is nice but I don't really gain from it being 1440p. Some people complain about the battery life not being great considering the capacity is 3900mAh but for it me it scales fairly well. I get about 6hrs pro rated SOT on my G2 (sorry another mention lol) as well given similar usage patterns but the Maxx has 77% more pixels with only 30% more battery. I know there are many other factors and the G2 does hold its charge better on standby and I'm not taking into account the fact that each individual pixel is smaller on the Maxx vs G2 but I reeled in my expectations given the above.
