But this is the whole point: You see a link but can't click it.

Never mind that joining is free and easy - there is still a barrier even if symbolic.

Look, my last post may have sounded harsh, but I did not mean to attack you.

What I meant by "protecting people from stupidity" is this:

Today even children know that simply downloading stuff from the net puts your computer at risk (forget rapidshare, we have viruses here on our own FTP all the time - scum uploading scumware - and no, it is not a matter of having a virus scanner! A home cooked exe that deletes all files on your c drive is easy to make and also will pass just about any virus scan).

But if someone is about to mess with his brand new expansive toy based on two lines in an unrelated forum and using a download from a questionable source without bothering to look up detailed instructions or check on risks of the procedure - well no point in warning such people.

The thing is - I think forcing such individuals to join will only increase the number of repeated/already answered/"I bricked my phone" messages as they will now think that we (the forum) are responsible for them and they have an account to make the post.

You very well may be right. I have directed, in the field, so many different rollouts of new communications gear and seen every last one of them hosed in such incredibly varied manners that almost nothing surprises me now. I have just learned that the more little checks and balances that are added in without actually affecting performance can help the end product.

And I second "The Brit's" statement.

I am running 4.4.2. Lately my phone takes a long time to remember its wifi APs after turning wifi off then back on again.

not a clue what is going on.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitaristjoel:
I recently received a Moto X 2014 Pure Edition 32GB. I upgraded from a Moto X 2013 Developer Edition 32GB. Attached is a screenshot of battery so far today. For some reason, cell standby is always draining more than anything, even screen. Yesterday it drained 50% of my battery, however I was unable to take a screenshot before it died. I tried clearing the system cache today and turning off cellular data, to no avail. I don't have a data plan at all but need mobile data on for MMS. I am on Lollipop 5.0. I really need to know if there's any fixes on this issue yet, as it seems to be a major problem. I have scoured the internet looking for an answer and have found nothing pertaining to fixes I haven't already attempted. I just really want to experience the battery life on my new phone to it's full potential. Thanks ahead of time for the help.

SOLUTION: Update Google Play Services to version 7.3.x: LINK
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian10161:
I'm having similar things show up on my Moto X as well. I'm also having google play services up near the top. Was your cell signal weak perhaps? Maybe switching to 3g instead of LTE if you have LTE set as preferred.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitaristjoel:
I was only without a signal for 4% of the time. I will try changing to 3G and reporting back although I have perfect LTE in my area.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitaristjoel:
Well, after some time, the 3G vs LTE seems to have possibly helped. I downloaded GSam to try to narrow down the cause. Phone Radio is only 5% of my battery while Screen is 28%. Apps and misc are the rest of it. I think it may just be a glitch in the way Lollipop calculates battery, although I still would like a solution for it.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFuGiToiDx:
Check the android os stats also. It may be the one causing the most drain because its keeping awake in the background. From what I understand cell standby stat shows up when you aren't using the phone at all for some time (standby).
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitaristjoel:
Android OS has been awake for 2 hours and the phone has been awake for 6.5 hours.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFuGiToiDx:
Here's my stats so far. So I unplugged the phone from the charger 1 am last night. I woke up this morning with 98% battery. So I only lost 2% overnight.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFuGiToiDx:
Android os is the culprit in your case. 2 hrs is pretty long. Maybe and app is causing the wakelock along with it. Does your phone get warm at all? My phone does feel slightly warmer once I noticed android os is keeping my device awake for some time. So I usually reboot the phone to stop the wake lock and charge the phone back up.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitaristjoel:
My phone doesn't get warm at all. The other night I left my phone unplugged at 40% and set an alarm for 7 hours later. I woke up and my phone was dead. Thankfully my girlfriend set her alarm too or I would have woken up late. I'm scared to leave my phone unplugged overnight again for that exact reason. My standby time is awful. I can leave it in my pocket for an hour and it will drain 10%. Is this Lollipop or no? I wouldn't know because I received the phone with Lollipop. Set it up skipping all the Google account stuff just to check for updates, and then wiped again. So I've done one factory reset so far, one cache partition clear, turned off mobile data (and back on after no change), changed from LTE to 3G, and gone through lots of full charge cycles. I still don't know what the problem is...Is the device faulty? I did just receive this phone as a replacement for my faulty Moto X 2013 (battery was bad). Please don't tell me thats the case for this as well.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFuGiToiDx:
Which variant is it? I have the at&t one and unlocked it to use for my local carrier and works perfectly. I guess you will have more battery drain if the signal in your area isn't great. Also a rogue app might be running in the background draining your battery. I would also suggest disabling features of the moto x that you aren't using. I only keep the moto display on. Disable the bloatware apps that came with the phone from the carrier.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitaristjoel:
I have the 32GB Pure Edition. I'm using it with GoPhone. I don't have a data plan. The only apps I've downloaded are Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, and a lot of Google apps (Keep, Wallet, etc). I have disabled the features I don't need. Is 40% drain overnight extreme even with a lot of bloat?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dylantep:
I am having the same issue with Moto x pure edition running 5.1, insane amounts of drain while the phone is idle. about 10% an hour. I'm hoping someone finds a solution
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFuGiToiDx:
Something might be wrong with 40% drain. Your WiFi was on overnight as well along with account syncing? I usually turn off my WiFi before I sleep and get like at most 5% drain overnight
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitaristjoel:
They were. That might be it. I'll try to turn them off next time and see how that goes.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
Root and greenify has worked pretty well for me.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian10161:
You shouldn't see 40% no. That's way too high, even with data on.

My BT and WiFi are on all the time and maybe through a 7 hour sleep, I'll drop maybe 2% to 5%. I'm concerned there may be a rogue app, I have disabled a lot of system things and google apps and have really cut my usage down. And I'm using the moto display and moto voice thing.

Very strange its that high.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitaristjoel:

You might need to get a replacement device. Here's another stats from last night. Are u using any 3rd party antivirus or app killer like greenify?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitaristjoel:
No third party antivirus or greenify. Just received the phone Monday with 5.0. My screen on time today was 1 hr and 19 m before it died. So you're saying I should try to get a replacement then?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juliospinoza:
replacemetn for what? sometimes the massive stand by depends of your signal/operator... it happened to me and happens to some people more often that they can notice. Is not only this great model (moto x 2014) who suffers this "problem", it happens to all brands, sony, samsung, lg, etc etc etc

my very own experience is that sometimes it happen, sometimes doesnt.

maybe there is not a magical solution but the best we can do is to monitor all apps and process in our phone, it worked for me using AMPLIFY PRO. Just try to give a look to all process on background and wakelocks.

If you dont use moto voice feature to snooze alarms or any other thing during the night, try disabling it before you go to sleep. With wifi turned on overnight and moto voice switched off i was able to reduce cell standby drain from 10% to 2-3% in 8 hours total.

I also use home and sleep assist with location on battery saving.

And i am pretty satisfied with cell standby drain now.

Hope this helps.

Next time try putting the device in safe mode for a day or two and see if it still behaves the same. It be a rogue app causing the drain.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokotron:
I have similar issues with my Moto X 2014... On Android 5.0.

Sometimes when idle the battery has normal values. But sometimes it will start draining when idling like crazy. 2 nights in a row, went to sleep with 60% and woke up at 17%. Also, many times Wifi is turned off but on battery stats it is reported as being on! And I have "always scan..." disabled. And when a drain session (heh) occurs, the culprit is always "Android OS". I think Android OS battery drain was a known issue on Lollipop 5.0 and it got fixed on 5.0.1-2 etc. I'm at the brink of rooting and installing a 5.1 custom rom. I'm really dissapointed with this battery behaviour :( Of course, when I bought the device I immediately upgraded from Kitkat to 5.0, but I didn't do a factory reset afterwards. Some people say it actually matters.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFuGiToiDx:
I personally think the android os culprit is caused when both wifi and cellular signal are constantly trying to find a good/decent connection. I noticed that I always get high android os usage on the battery stats while im at school especially more in one of my class. Even though I'm not using my phone at all in class, its just laying there on the table. However, I don't have this issue while at home.

*** POTENTIAL SOLUTION ***

I've had high wakelocks for Android OS these past couple weeks. This morning I forced an update to Google Play Services and my wakelocks have dropped off a cliff and battery life has improved.

If you're not on Google Play Services 7.3.x (Settings -> Apps -> All -> Google Play Services), you might try installing the update found here.

I installed the newest version of Google Play Services(7.3.x) at 17:00. Used phone until it died. Charged up, wiped cache, cleared data for GSam app. Have been using it since 8:00. Still at 86% at 11:15 and losing 4.4% an hour on light usage (used to be 10% with no usage). Estimated 15 hours left of battery life. The update definitely fixed my problem (seems to have doubled battery life). Infinitely happier with the phone. Thank you so much everyone for your help! It is greatly appreciated.

Issue Reappeared!

The issue is back and possibly worse than before. I can have my phone in my pocket most of the day (at work) and still have it be almost dead by the end of work. Pictures attached from the past two days to represent this. Very very disappointed with all the problems I've had with this phone. Waiting for 5.1, if that doesn't fix this I'm considering switching to either a new phone or, gosh forbid, an iPhone. Hoping for a solution or possibly the update.

I've been dealing with this issue since I had my device too. The odd thing is my battery is so inconsistent.

Some days when I unplug from a full charge, my battery stat app will say 10 hours, sometimes it's 14 hours.

If I let it sit there idle for a bit, sometimes it will go up to 20 hours (obviously because I'm not using it).

The burn rate of the idle time is mental. The inconsistency of my battery drives me nuts. I'm going to review all the things listed in this thread and come back with some reports of my own.

I don't have this problem but any phone will drain battery looking for signal. I used to have this problem, i loaded Krait Kernel and tweaked some settings; and now cell drain is not an issue. I think it has to do with the default frequency the processor runs at when it tries to do "background" work. Using the kernal to use lower frequencies when it wakes and does maintenance helps quite a bit. check out the thread above (click on Krait Kernel) and see if it helps you. It was fairly easy to unlock; root and load the kernel on the phone.
