Most of the time too this forum is opinion based. I too haven't seen anyone stop recommending stock charger which has been a controversy ever since this phone came out because of the phone staying weirdly hot throughout the charging process. The thing is you won't notice would the degradation right away but sooner than the other phones would be a sure fact. All up to you to use or not the stock charger. Then again you do have a point to some degree yet again qualcomm could just have made this quick charge feature just be released quickly for this phone to release, not always does a large company check every single little detail for a feature to be released. If this phone were to be able to fool down quick then I would use stock charger but on contrary takes a great while to do so.

Killer batter

Just hit 48 hrs and 20 min. with about 12% left. My On Screen Time was only 2 hr and 21 min. Fairly light use, but that's still pretty sweet for the 2K screen and amazing performance.

---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

Dude, it's a great phone. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one. It's all about usage. If all you did was make phone calls, the Turbo would last 3-4 days, which is pretty amazing. I just went 50 hours with light/moderate usage. If you use your phone heavy, it's simply not going to last that long regardless of the size of the battery. Differences will be marginal. Either way, I have been loving the Turbo.

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

Depends on how you look at it. The reason the Turbo has such a big battery is to compensate for the qHD screen. It wasn't to necessarily beat every other phone out of the water in terms of battery life. And again, it depends on usage. If you have the screen on all the time (i'm not sure why you would), then the batter is going to drain fast regardless. With light/mod. use here and there I'm passing 50 hrs. between charges on the Turbo. It's a great phone in every way.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] allenrb2:
This phone is lasting a whole lot longer than anything running Android that I have had the chance to use.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pegs520:
Are you sure?

My phone stays hot with turbo charging until it gets to 60%, then it cools off completely to room temperature. If your phone stays hot from 0 to 100, there may be something wrong with either your phone or charger. I don't think it's supposed to do that.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mobrules777:
Don't know if this has already been mentioned but last night the battery was down to 10% so I decided to charge overnight. I plugged it into an apple rated charger. I had a popup show up in the upper left side of the screen by the battery percentage. When I looked at the drop down screen it said it was a lower rated charger that what is recommended. It didn't say it would cause any damage just a warning/popup. Today I tried to repeat it but it was only at 90% and didn't popup. I will drain the battery this weekend and see if I can repeat it for a screen shot. I don't believe it will cause any harm to the battery I think it was just trying to let me know that I wasn't using a turbo charger, which I have only actually used 3 times over the last two weeks. I mainly use a standard charger unless time is an issue and I need the Turbo charger.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] wadamean:
The apple chargers are weak and only give you 1a output which could be the conflict you are having now.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mobrules777:
Thanks. For some reason I thought it was a 2.1a charger.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dolphin_girl:
Well so far I am very happy with the battery life on my Turbo!

I took a screenshot but don't know how to post it. Anyway here is my usage. I got the Turbo yesterday, used it for a bit and then fully charged it. I took it off the charger at 10 pm last night and it's been going strong ever since, right at 26 hours. During this time I have streamed movies for 4 hours and listened to about 3 hours of music (spent the day traveling on the road), wifi was off but Bluetooth and location services were on. I am currently at 37% battery. My old phone (a Droid 4) would have needed 2-3 charges at this point, so I am thrilled!!

I do have a question though, is the turbo charger only suppose to be used when you need a quick charge and not for a full charge? I only bought the turbo charger along with me on vacation not even thinking. I don't want to use it for full charges if it is going to negatively impact the battery.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] veloct:
The turbo charger is able to adjust to the type of charging needed by the phone. Read this: http://m.androidcentral.com/motorola-turbo-charger. That'll tell you all about the charger so you have the proper information.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] joshm.1219:
You guys get so much screen on time in one day, craziness
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Munkee915:
On my 3rd charge/drain cycle. Over 36 hours now. Again, not babying the phone, just normal use. Although it looks like something is keeping my phone awake almost a third of the time, and I have no root to run WLD with :(.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cyberr8der:
Android device manager under Google settings?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pegs520:
I have that on, and mines only been kept awake for 20 minutes over 3 hours - .2%, a lot less than his 1.8%

Maybe it's moto assist? The driving/home settings check for location every 5 min.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cyberr8der:
Could just turn off location all together and see if that makes a difference. If so narrow it down from there. If not on to the next thing lol
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] robthefive0:
Here's my first full day using it. I must say I'm pretty happy with it. Pretty heavy usage over those 23 hours.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lukesdiesel:
This is on my 2nd charge cycle.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pegs520:
7 hours of screen time on the first day?? I have yet to get over 4 on the 7th day.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mobilehavoc:
SOT is ridiculous. What you're doing is what matters. i.e. reading a book or even watching a local movie are extremely low power draw as opposed to browsing sites or playing games can be more intensive. In the end it's still SOT.

Again this battery stuff is super impossible to compare unless you literally use them exactly the same in the same conditions.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Cobra04:
Moderate usage. Streaming music, browsing internet, everyday things.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] robertopod1968:
Very happy
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] efrome:
Google Play Services

I was hoping for some help. I got trigger happy and updated to Google Play Services 6.5, on APK mirror could someone let me know the last three digits in their GPS version like-038 or -032 thanks
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cyberr8der:
Is this what you're looking for?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pegs520:
At this rate, I might make it to 4 hours screen time.

Did I get a dud?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cyberr8der:
Do you have location services and the android device manager on?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pegs520:
Both are off.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
I had today off so I was on my phone a lot today. So, very little stand by time. A lot of YouTube, clash of clans and forum reading. About an hour of calls too.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] INCREMENTAL:
Here's mine, really happy with it, 5hrs of screen time in 34hrs off the charger, only 3hrs on WiFi during a 3hr phone call while Bluetooth was being used.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Arkasai:
Been consistently getting 6 hours SoT. Usual web browsing, google news stand skimming, and several hours of streaming video. Very happy so far.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Ally Android:
With light usage, after about 1 1/2 days I still have more than 50%. Even after two days, I still had 15% charge left. Had I not used my Countdown app, I would have had more.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rglebien:
Been getting a 1. 5 days consistently with average 5-6 hrs sot. All moto features but motion sensing on. Also playing at least an hour of angry birds transformers over the course of a day which is the biggest drain. I'm pretty happy with it overall.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cyberr8der:
Here's my latest run. This is with high accuracy location on.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ccheww:
I'm getting about 3 to 4 hours constant GPS and navigation usage with about 50% battery consumption. Is this good? Can I get some feedback from users that do driving jobs that require massive use of our phones resources? Lyft, sidecar, Postmates, instacart? Anyone using their phones much more than the average user?

My phone battery is about to be scrapped, each less than an hour to fully charge the charge, the net is reminded that while only 25%, my God! I have to hurry to buy a new one....:(:(
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] allenrb2:
I have 2.5 hours of voice calls. 3 hours of screen on time. Wifi on the whole time. Light use, but still, to me, this is great battery life.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pjrudd:
After 2 full charges

It took me two complete charges, but I am now seeing better results.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] danger2u:
not bad,but i will like to arrive at 8-9 hours SOT
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] smokie11:
These results are about a day and a half of very heavy use, my daily routine is not even close to that. Streaming Netflix, Slingplayer, playing videos from phone to HDTV, installing apps., testing everything and experimenting with every app. and feature. Brightness on Auto and all the Moto features turned on ( I like 'em ). Based on this I have no reason to believe the Turbo would have any problem providing me with 2 days of MY regular use. :D
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] papstar:
Not particularly thrilled with battery life lately. Also have a wakelock keeping the device awake frequently, wlan_wow_wl.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] 335Deezl:
Not bad. Only on my second charge. Give the phone a week or so to "settle in". Do a few complete drains (use it until it shuts itself off, then recharge it fully, preferably overnight, while turned off), and a few unplug (for a few minutes), then charge briefly until full. Sounds strange, but it had worked for me since my OG Droid 1.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mobrules777:
I am sure it has to do with wifi. Do you use wifi alot???
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cyberr8der:
I second that theory. I get that wakelock when on Wifi but it never appears when I'm not. I have everything unchecked except for Wifi optimization. Might unchecked that and see if it has any effect.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mobrules777:
Here's the latest. Decided to do a longevity test on the battery over this weekend. Had about 24 hrs on 3g and from 2200-0700 had the data shut down with nothing running in the background. I didn't use it much over the weekend but enough to use about 1gb of data. It was an extreme test but I'm also not a power user.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] papstar:
Yes. I generally leave WiFi on.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pegs520:
Is it better to do manual brightness or auto?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mobrules777:
Of course thats a personal preference......but I generally use auto.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] impala454:
After a fair amount of debloat (most Verizon apps except Voice Mail, and some Motorola apps, though Moto Display is still running). Pretty impressed so far!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mobrules777:
Thats great man. I think it took about 2 weeks and 4-5 charges for my battery to really take off. I am highly impressed with this phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] renegadeone8:
Better than average?

I have seen complaints in MANY places and in most of the reviews about the turbo battery life being super mediocre given the size of the battery. Personally I have had exactly the opposite result. Here is a screenshot of mine after forgetting to charge it last night. Screen on time of nearly 6 hours (5 hours 47 mins.) Also used the GPS for about 45 mins yesterday, and I listen to music while I drive to work that is streamed off of youtube videos (probably about 45 mins/day for 2 days.)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] wadamean:
I still don't see why users of this beast droid turbo complain.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] papstar:
Because everyone has different results?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
No. Because all the complaints came after the first few days of the phone. Its like people forget that every phone has to break in. Apps that use GPS need to get finished collecting data. It just needs to be cycled. Now that were a few weeks in, the results are more promising. As expected
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] timmyd463229:

Here is mine. Bought it last friday (5 days ago) and this is the second time I've charged it.

Still only charges to 90% then magically becomes 100% charged....
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] INCREMENTAL:
Well guys here's my last run, it doesn't get much better then this. Over 6hrs of screen time, I ended up getting 39hrs off the charger before it completely died, this was with no WiFi also, all 4G data. I think with a solid 1 day of heavy usage I woulda got over 8hrs of screen time with no problem.

I'm really happy with these stats. My brightness was set to around 1/3 and I had no GPS location services on, moto display is enabled and surprisingly only made up for .4% of battery use.

Guys this phone can show good battery results u just have to strive to make it your #1 thing when u use ur phone. If u stay on top of it like I did you will get similar #s.

Note: the last pic was my final screenshots and then the turbo died.

Edit: also if u think about it, 39hrs is getting close to the 48hr mark and 6hrs of screen time is also a decent amount. 48hrs could be easily achievable if I would have had a hour less screen time.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] lazarus2297:
Here is mine this the second full charge cycle and this includes about six hours of airplane mode on while I slept. Not really that close to 48 hours.. But its a "working" two days so that's good enough for me.. I think it would make very close to 48 hours with less screen on time but like I said this is sufficient for me, with no root to help with battery draining services.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] smokie11:
Reading through this thread is obvious most posts are happy with battery life, there is always an occasional defective battery and those that will complain about anything and everything. One thing I noticed is that it seems the phone's are not being shutoff at night, am I the only person that lives in a home that has a telephone land line? I shutoff my Turbo when at home at night, anyone that calls my Turbo at night does not know me and I am not interested in taking the call. My point is that with my regular Turbo usage I can go 3 days without using the charger and no smart phone I have ever owned has ever come close to that. :D
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cyberr8der:
I myself haven't had a landline phone since roughly 2010 so mine stays on at night.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] joshm.1219:
Yeah I haven't had a landline for a few years now
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ccheww:
I think turning off the phone to save battery power is smart... but unfortunately almost a direct contradiction with mobile and battery technology and its progression and development into the future. My opinion - is that people buy a phone with a large battery with a subconscious thought that they will never have to do anything special or dedicate any concern to battery life OR performance throughout the day and night.

In my opinion - Suggesting people to retain such a habit is a step backwards.... Especially with the droid turbo - which appears to be a device designed to be left alone and rarely thought about in terms of battery capacity.

This is probably a matter of when you were born, I lived a wonderful life before the smart phone existed or the microwave oven for that matter. to me the smart phone is a convenience but certainly not a necessity; I don't want anyone to change their habits... because I don't change mine. The future is so bright I gotta wear... no I don't wear shades either. :cool:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ccheww:
I agree with this statement, I grew up in the 90's - I've only really been able to experience the amazing and rapid growing technology scene. Its amazing to have been recording my FM radio with a tape recorder and playing back my songs on a walkman... then a short few years later figuring out how to automate tasks on my handheld super computer. The growth is overwhelming - but it has left me yearning for more and more convenience in technology - its an addiction really.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
All of this was on 4G, with about 50% of the time being 1-2 bars. Also, the wifi drain you see isn't from connecting to Wifi, but instead a background scanning feature that scans, even if you turn Wifi completely off. I've switched that off since, so battery should improve even more.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] allenrb2:
The battery life has been more than enough for me. This phone is definitely the best one I've owned so far. The Turbo hasn't let me down one bit.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] my2cents:
48 hours, check!

The update has improved my battery life big time. Here is my phone since the update. No charging, not even a bump charge. Granted, I've only used it moderately, but I think it aligns with their claim of 48 hours now.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Do you have a SOT of 30 seconds?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] my2cents:
Haha. Just over 4 hours.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ccheww:
Could you give us some more details on your settings? 48 hours, with 4 hours sot.... most poeple do about 4 hours SOT a day so over 48 hours the average would probably be around 8 hours SOT.

If you could fill us in on the details of your settings Im sure everyone here will be able to achieve at least 8 hours SOT over 48 hours of phone life. Especially if your phone had 48% remaining....

I had to ask myself.... why? why would someone go out of there way to post this.....

common sense really

The links to the files given to download open a pop-up, then they open relatively legit android files....

the amount of clicks this post will get by antsy Droid Turbo users will generate a relatively large amount of traffic to the pop-up

i know many people will read this and say "yea bro - thats the internet where on earth have you been and where is the rock youre hiding under?"

lets set that aside and just leave this post here for those who want to understand why this fake tutorial is here. it isnt a mistake by the poster, it isnt misinformation, its just straight-up an attempt to generate traffic to a completely irrelevant site.

See what you think? I have my screen brightness on around 20% for crying out loud. Any ideas?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
1. Get a better signal.

2. Turn off GPS except when needed.

3. Turn off BT when not needed.

4. Turn off the continual wifi scanning under advanced wifi settings.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Wiggz:
I might have to turn off GPS yeah...shame as I like some of the context sensitive stuff. As for the Wifi scanning - good call.

Signal...well that's not really in my control is it :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
My signal sucks too, at home anyway.

The GPS is probably it. Google's services hold onto it and don't let go.
