My friend it wasn't the I can't believe it you're laying kind it was the I am surprise kind....

As I was one ex lg g2 user before its screen breaks I am used to have lot of sot and battery life so I wasn't happy having x2 phone with this tiny battery, another thing I was complaining about is the sound, g2 really make listening music on a phone something awesome.... And image quality.... Damn g2 rocks.... So x2 has a really big challenge

Sound? Not bad, but I miss my v2 sound quañity

Photos? Last update make camera much better, better quality more clear, BUT, on low light it doesn't focus at all... Not even with flash always on, and quality is really poor (on low light) but I was surprise on the improves last update make, VERY GOOD

Battery.... OK, I wasn't sure I would get not even 4 hours without a custom kernel.... But....

I only just got the Moto X as a change from a Nexus 5 so I can't comment on the difference Lollipop has made (it came with it). However, I can't help but feel a little disappointed with the battery life thus far - specifically idle battery drain. I have very little enabled (i.e. no Moto Assist, no Google Now, no Location History etc), no Facebook (someone always mentions this when battery life comes up) phone and WiFi signal is good - - yet drain seems to be in the region of 3 or 4% an hour even when sat doing nowt.

I do have Moto Actions and Moto Display enabled - both are stated as "battery friendly". Do people think they are?

From battery stats, I don't see that the phone is awake a huge deal of the time. I haven't rooted it so I can't do any real wakelock detection.

Okay mine doesn't seem to be making my phone wake? just sending a lot of packets and i think that seems to be killing my battery life

The battery stats are incorrect in the settings. One day settings told me that Google play services used up 30% of my battery, but two different battery apps told me it was really 1.2%. Same with the cell stanby, it stated 20%, but really it said 6%.

Issue

I got my moto x yesterday. Today after I woke up, I unplugged for an hour only to find battery down to 70% when I am at work. I am now on my laptop USB cable and the battery is still draining away. It says the Android OS us using up the battery. Anybody knows what is going on?
[X 2014 General] Skillinator:
I upgraded to the -11 release and haven't noticed any huge increase in battery life. I'm able to get a good 3 hours of SOT but my Google Play Services is just eating up all my battery life. I just applied anupdate to Google Play Services (6.5.94) and set location from High Accuracy to Battery Saver and am going to see what I get tomorrow. I somewhat think it's related to my picking up of Ingress recently but I can't prove that.

Play Services is using 22% with Screen at 10% and Android OS at 6%.

Oh man Ingress is terrible for battery. Plus there's too many cheaters in that game.

[X 2014 General] grubber24:
These are my observations with the battery drain on lollipop.. the sot seems fine with upto 4 hours with almost 18hrs usage. The drain from android os is the time since i switched on the battery saver mode. It showing the time "mobile radio active"as 2hr 12 mins. That's exactly the the time for which it was active. Can anyone comment on this? Anyone else has observed this?﻿

Hi, this is my first post here, though I've lurked for a while. I've been having problems with my battery since about two weeks after updating to Lollipop. Before, I used to easily get 12-14 hours total with 2.5 to 3 hours of SOT on my phone. A while ago, though, my phone battery started plummeting and I would lose ~5% over the course of an hour even if I didn't touch my phone, and switching to airplane mode didn't solve anything. The battery stats indicated something was waking up my phone really often, though I didn't change any of the settings on my phone. The main sources were Android OS, Android System, and Google Play Services.

I downloaded the PC version of wakelock detector, which indicated that the cause was "com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts". The total wake time was only a few minutes at the end of about 10 hours, but it said it had woken up my phone thousands of times, while other apps were usually waking up my phone less than a hundred times. I switched off contacts sync via settings, I reinstalled Google Play Services, I readded my Google account, all over a week to see if anything helped, but nothing did.

So last night, I went ahead and just did a factory reset to see if that switched the problem. I also switched off contacts sync again. Today, my phone is having the same battery drain, though, and wakelock detector is telling me that over the last 3 hours, com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts woke up my phone 1292 times.

I'm at the end of my wits here. Any suggestions? It's on Verizon; WiFi, data, and bluetooth are on; and location services are on device only.

GUYS, SOT IS NOT A BENCHMARK! YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO USE THE SCREEN TO GET SOT! Its so frustrating to see people complain when they complain about bad SOT and leave their phone in their pockets all day and see that it's drained battery.
[X 2014 General] fasheezy:
So I've been doing some testing and found that turning on/off FB or Google Now or contact sync or location settings or anything has not helped with battery. The only thing that helped was turning off BT and deleting Android Wear (Moto 360). Before doing this the biggest drain on my battery was standby. SOT was in the toilet when I was doing the least on my phone. SOT was much better when I was using it continuously like watching a movie or YouTube videos. However, once I turned off BT overall battery drain was much improved either in standby or using the screen continuously. So basically for me, no choice but to deal with the crappy battery life bc I'm not going to stop using my Moto 360. Sucks.

My Experience So Far

My battery has been pretty bad since I've got this phone. (Previously had a 2013 Moto X Dev Edition for 10 months).

Averaging 2.5 hours SOT and 100% to 15% in about 17 hours. Keep in mind I utilize most of the features of my phone.

Location on (High Accuracy)

NFC on

Weather/Gmail Sync (once per 3 hours)

WIFI (on 60% of the time)

Bluetooth (On 20% of the time)

Brightness @ 25% most of time

do not have Facebook Installed, but use Google Play Music Often and play 10-15 minutes of games a day.

Overall, I have to be very aware of my future plans and make sure to either charge my phone or bring a external battery. This phone was not built for the heavy active user :( Only had it for about a month and Im already really considering to replace with Z4 Compact upon release.

The phone's performance itself is pretty good though. Camera at night is wack but day time is good. It'll do for now.... Need to buy a turbo charger soon.
[X 2014 General] fhreire:
The maximum I had on display time was 5:50h, using Wifi most of the time, no location, no 3G, brightness at 30%.

[X 2014 General] mjs2011:
It appears that turning off location reporting was the difference maker. I've been averaging around 4.5 hrs SOT but today it looks like I might get closer to achieving 6 hrs SOT.

I've been having battery issues with Lollipop basically since updating. I noticed periods of severe drainage but little usage. I keep Bluetooth on all day to connect to my Pebble, location services on battery saving, and sync various social apps and email accounts. I'm barely able to get 2 hours of SOT on a day of moderate use. Does anyone know of anything I could do? I'm thinking of just doing a clean reset to see if that helps at all. I feel like during the initial process of sideloading the leaked Lollipop, downgrading to 4.4.4 and getting the OTA for Lollipop something messed up. Thanks for any help.

The difference is day and night with my battery life.. On the weekends when I'm on WiFi 95% of the time I easily make it all weekend on a charge with 5-6 hours SOT..

I'm now not making it 11 hours with two and three hours less sot than the first charge! I got the Verizon model. Can I go back to KitKat?
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
I have been getting battery backup of one day since I got the phone on 25th Dec despite of varied usage patterns and thats good thing about the MotoX.

Have used Kitkat for around 10 days and battery used to last for a day, same is the case with Lollipop. I am not able to tell if battery performance has lowered in Lollipop, will have to observe for some more time I think.

One thing I can tell about Lollipop is that the battery backup was poor during initial days when I newly updated to Lollipop but looks like the system/apps have settled down now and battery backup has improved.

So those users who are having complain with battery performance in Lollipop should wait for 5-6 battery recharge cycles before reaching to any conclusion. Also do perform a factory reset before and after upgrading the firmware.

One thing I noticed during my usage is that standby time remains poor but usage time is surprisingly great. This phones easily lasts for a day but don't expect more than that.

Here are screenshots of today, used 3G for around 5 hours before toggling to WiFi at home:
[X 2014 General] grubber24:
I am facing a lot of issues with the standby battery on this phone. I even loose battery on airplane mode. Location to battery saving, airplane mode on, google now on. Still lost approx 1.5% per hour overnight!

[X 2014 General] Martingitdave:
It would appear that bluetooth and NFC were two of the biggest offenders with respect to battery life on my 2014 Moto X. I use bluetooth regularly, so I will likely live with the battery impact. NFC, on the other hand, I rarely use.
[X 2014 General] chrisrozon:
1.5% per hour loss on standby is about right, I wouldn't stress over that.
[X 2014 General] distortedloop:
Do you multi-task a lot?

I notice the memory leak when background services, like playing Google music, iheart radio, and my BT heart rate monitor all stop working and get killed if they're not frequently brought to the foreground.

Also it can take 2-3 seconds for my home screen to populate when exciting an app. Very annoying.

I think I was very unfortunate in this Lollipop update. After update I'm lucky if I get more than 2.5h of SOT. ON Kitkat I used to arrive home with 25% to 20% of battery. After update I'm lucky if I get through the day.

I usually let the Wifi and bluetooth On all the times, as I did in Kitkat.

Does any one have recommendation on how to improve the battery life in KitKat?

Thanks.
[X 2014 General] MrToxicTaco:
Did you mean to improve on Lollipop? or you went back to KK?

For lollipop, I would suggest turning off the parts of sync you don't use (for example, newsstand or sheets) and if you don't use G+, disable that along with bloatware. That has all helped be improve my SoT from 3 hours to 4 hours.
[X 2014 General] kboya:
I have few if any issues with lollipop (or with the 4.4.4 build). Almost always get a full day with heavy use, 3-5 hours SoT, and a poor signal in parts of my area. Any battery issues have been rogue apps from time to time. That said I'm not a big user of Bluetooth, but when I do there seems to be very little difference.

To those with battery issues, have you done a full reset and reinstalled apps singly? (Please, don't tell me why you haven't or shouldn't have to, it's about trying to identify the root issue)
[X 2014 General] pro.gangster:

[X 2014 General] M3drvr:
I've tried everything to improve my standby time in lollipop to no avail. Its absolutely horrendous. I can't make it past 14 hours off the charger which in my opinion is bad as my nexus 4 could easily go 24 hours off the charger with the same usage and apps installed. Along with this i average around 3 hours SOT. My cell reception is flawless the entire time and doesn't matter if i'm in Wi-Fi zone or LTE the entire time, no difference. Doesn't matter if location services and Google now and location reporting, smart lock, android device manager are all off or on, there is minimal to no difference in the amount of battery life i get. I've done a full clean install of Kitkat and upgraded to Lollipop and still no difference. The real culprit i have i can see is that mobile radio is constantly on draining battery. Averaging 7-8 hours per cycle. This is really frustrating!
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Have you performed factory reset after the update? If not then do it after taking backup of your data. Perform cache format through boot recovery menu.

Once your device and all data is setup in the new system, use the phone normally. Do not forget to turn off stock Google service which you don't use, for example Google doc, sheet, Google+, Google movies, Games etc. Also try to minimize the load on sync services by disabling the sync of service which you don't require. For example I don't take backup on Google drive so have disable drive sync. These little things make big difference.

Once you have done that, wait for couple of battery charging cycles and later clean the cache using - Settings>Storage>cache. Also format the cache partition using boot recovery. Now wait and watch for atleast couple of battery recharge cycles till your system and apps settle down. It should start giving you a backup of one day with minimum 3 hours of screen time.

Android running on ART will take bit time to settle down. You will start getting optimal battery backup once the phone has run for 10-15 days and has completed few battery recharge cycles. Also disabling and uninstalling unused apps also does help.
[X 2014 General] M3drvr:
Yes i performed the factory reset, complete full wipe of internal storage and all. Full reload of OS, full OTA update plus the factory reset from within the OS after the update with the encryption. Its as clean of an install as its going to get my dear. I'm no noob when it comes to this stuff, hence why i tried all the normal stuff already of disabling as many services as possible.

The only google services i have syncing are chrome, gmail and music. I don't have G+, Movies, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Books or any other google services installed or enabled. Those are seriously the only 3 i use. I don't play any games on the phone.

Its been a few weeks since doing all that and still battery is absolute crap IMO compared to my nexus 4. And lets face it, the Nexus 4 is not great! The Moto X should easily beat it.
[X 2014 General] Steve-x:
I had great battery life when I used the retail/T-Mobile lollipop build. Now that I have the Telus 5.0.1 build my battery life has dropped by 20% or so. Everyday since it was installed the biggest drain is Google play services. The phone is configured the same as with the previous install. I compete reset was done between installs. Location services are completely off. No idea what is causing it.
[X 2014 General] M3drvr:
I'd venture to guess its "Mobile Radio Active" for hours.
[X 2014 General] Steve-x:
Looks like that is it. Wonder what triggers it and what can be done to stop it. I can reset yet again I guess, gets tiring after a while though.
[X 2014 General] M3drvr:
No idea. I wish i knew as well. Only thing i found that stops it is killing every app as soon as you exit. But i'm not up to do doing that as that defeats the purpose of having a phone that can multi task.
[X 2014 General] Jack Sparrow xda:
Definitely, MotoX should deliver better battery backup compared to Nexus 4. My phone's standby time improved a lot in the last 15 odd days, it wasn't that greater initially but gradually improved. How much battery recharge cycles your phone has completed? Try to see if any unwanted app/service is eating up the battery. Check process status from dev options. Maybe 'greenfy' app can help you.
