I still get nothing near that. No apps seem to be misbehaving. Maybe it's just the apps I use...

Plus I was wondering because I use the Moto notification system I'm very active at work so maybe the screen wakes up lots? And that causes drain?
[X Play General] doncoop:
I wouldn't worry too much on screen on time. It depends how you use it.

A YouTube video on WiFi is very different to using a game. Same screen on time but uses the phone differently.

Just compare to other phones you've had.

For example my g2 got me 3hrs screen on time (again plenty people got more than me) and needed to charge twice if I was going out to ensure it lasted.

The play gets me 5hrs plus and will last me through to the late evening no problem.
[X Play General] ephumuris:
Nearly every phone I've had I suppose has had 3-4 hours tops. Optimised.

The X Play gets me 5 hours average without really trying to optimise.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Did you eat them as part of a low-carb diet? :D

You convinced me to install Amplify. I hope it softens the standby mobile signal drain a bit...

...somehow...
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
Wha, you don't have it? :o

It will improve the already insane battery even more.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
I just used Aggressive Doze mode in Greenify. I also need to install Servicely which is a wicked app for limiting services but looks like Amplify will help this out even more.

I'll get the pro version too. Since, obviously, I am a processional.

That typo was intentional, folks.
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
Well I have Greenify too, but Amplify is on a different level combined with it.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
The wakelock blocker looks mighty impressive on its own. I wonder how much more juice I'll be able to squeeze out of this mighty beast of a juicy juice-filled juiceball.
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
Honestly I don't have nothing to do all day so I top if off often, so I can't really get battery stats.

Will try though today. What I can tell you is that I am capable of browsing at the lowest brigthness+ adaptive brightness, connection to mobile off, wifi to 2,4ghz, and in this manner of constant use you can squeeze out 10 hours SoT.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
That's excellent indeed! Have you done a lot of customization to Amplify? I'm seeing some pesky wakelocks but I need the pro version to disable them! Ack!
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
Yep a lot.

Pro version also.

Note that with my last comment I meant that if you used the phone constantly for 10 hours straight.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Cool dude. Looking forward to playing with it soon! Thanks for the tip.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
So weird this battery graph in 6.0.1. I've had strong signal the entire cycle and looks like it decided to stop reporting it some hours ago... Hahaha.
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
Reporting error maybe? :P
[X Play General] ganeshsk:
location is off... scanning (wifi and Bluetooth) under location is off... NFC is disabled... under advanced wifi settings, keep wifi on during sleep is "NEVER "... i did all possible battery saving settings, but still the MOBILE STANDBY drains the battery the most... now it shows 20% of the consumption of battery is MOBILE STANDBY...
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
Are you sure it's actually draining that much battery? It could just report it as such but not actually drain that.
[X Play General] ganeshsk:
YES it does... after all these settings, last night it went from 30% to 20% in 6 hours... the awake status is almost nil during this time...
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
Maybe you need a factory reset? :/
[X Play General] ganeshsk:
oh my god...thats hell... but will that help???
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
Maybe, you never know.
[X Play General] mdg606:
Coming back to my last post, i'm running android 6.0. Donno about the rom. reading this, I would expect a lot more from a 3600mha battery...
[X Play General] Chaotick:
I had to revert to stock EU rom 6.0 and my battery drain is about 11 % per 1H SOT with nearly everything on constant texting, spotify music, messager etc. Auto sync off location is batter saver mode wi fi is on only when plugged in. I'm pleased with these result :)
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
Yeah that sounds about right.
[X Play General] Chaotick:
I'm quite sure that if you put MXP in airplane mode - and wil everything off and in battery save mode - and live it in doze it would last more than a week ....but that is not the point of having a phone. 2-3 days is a great result with usage.
[X Play General] ProudRed:
Anyone have a solution to standby battery drain, please share.
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Greenify can help I guess.

Automated reply by JARVIS
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
The only option it sounds like to me is to put your phone in airplane mode while you sleep, etc. To me this detracts entirely from a phone's primary function: to be a phone. There are choices you need to make when using s phone.

Regardless, having 10% battery loss overnight is certainly not ideal. In about 8 hours I see 2% standby/idle drain.

I feel that the battery reporting of 6.0.1 is off as illustrated by the screenshot I posted a couple of pages back. I doubt that mobile standby takes 2/3 of someone's battery cycle.

It would.be worth making a backup of your current system and then attempting a reset to determine whether or not this is related to an app and/or its wakelocks. Try using Amplify, Greenify, BetterBatteryStats and WakeLockDetector to determine where the problem lies. Perhaps a sync or location service is the culprit to mis-reported battery drain.
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
Okay, it just now, several seconds ago prior to taking this picture got into 89%. Browsing in bed on wifi with airplode mode on. Location off. Wifi scanning off, 2,4 ghz wifi.

God of battery life, 105 minutes per 10%? That's 1050 minutes in total, or about 17 hours SoT.

Edit: never mind, dropped way faster now while browsing xda. :'(
[X Play General] pijes:
You're using xda app or thru browser?
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
Browser.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Haha that sucks dude. I think the battery reporting is kind of odd. My phone shuts down at 2%. Hahaha. Instead of 0%...

I'd say about 12% per hour, 72 hours between charges is my current typical cycle. I get about 6-7 hours SOT and talk on the phone for around 2 hours. WiFi constantly on, lots of WhatAss (adult version of WhatsApp...lol), mobile radio, all that.

A lot is dependent on your kernel. Are you running stock? 6.0.1?

I've noticed the screen tends to be ~1.5 MAh per minute. Mobile signal though is about 7 MAh per minute.
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
6.0.0 actually.

Multiply this times 5.

Also the shutting down at 2% is very normal. Every phone does that.
[X Play General] ProudRed:
Using greenify already, but non rooted mode.
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Don't know. I am using greenify rooted and got 3 percent battery drain for about 5 hours.

Automated reply by JARVIS
[X Play General] ProudRed:
Greenify in Rooted mode is a completely different app. I have Moto E as well and I get 0% drain, on 3g I get 6 hpurs of SOT with ease. Of course its rooted and unlocked.
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Never get so less battery drain. Don't know why. I just use greenify though.

[X Play General] coolkingler1:
1.Took off the charger at like 10 in the evening yesterday.

2. Everything except wifi off, brightness lowest, airplane mode, adaptive brightness on.

3. Went to sleep

4. Went outside with 50% exactly, high accuracy location on, 4g on, brightness 60%, VLC media player music listening on. Google fit tracking was needed so that's why, walked for 1 hour and 35 minutes.

5. Played Pokemon on an emulator with wifi off for I think an hour and a half.

I messaged on whatsapp a lot between.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Fantastic, cool. Nice SOT. Whst are your kernel settings? Looks like your SOT:MAh ratio is about the same as mine, almost 1 2 in minutes.

I think using airplane mode will improve battery significantly as the handling of mobile standby drain is weak in Android 6.0. I'm not sure if this is unique to this version though - was it like this on LP? KK seemed to handle is better...bjt my frame of reference is dated.

Regardless, emulating games sounds amazing and I should look into that further. Which app do you use and what is the file extension for the ROMs?
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
Oh just download a ROM, and I bought the Drastic emulator, for gameboy games you can download MyBoy Free app.

Kernel is stock.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Stock settings also, I assume?

I'm gonna play Link's Awakening ao fast...
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
Yeah, just everything stock. I think amplify makes the life so good.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Also helps that you seem to use 9 hours of SOT within 24 hours of discharge. I try not to charge every night; I find it tiresome. I like every second or third day dependent on use, of course. I'm happy with 6-7 hours SOT over 2-3 days. 9 within 24 is certainly notable. :)
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
Yeah I guess. :P I like charging, topping off.
[X Play General] ProudRed:
Wow, 9 hours of SOT. How just how.

Just noticed your signal is all green. All my battery drains due to mobile standby, I barely use it.. get 5-6 hours of SOT over 4 days of use. Most of my apps are freezed, dont use FB, Messenger, Google, Youtube app.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Dude that's pretty good for 4 days of discharge. 5-6 hours SOT is great.

This user charged to 100% then had the screen on pretty consistently over 24 hours. I believe you'd get the same results of your usage context was the same. Also note that he had hiz phone in airplane mode for a while too.

I agree that mobile standby is a big drain and I wish there was a way to minimize it in Android 6.0.x but it just doesn't seem feasible at this juncture.

Also, his signal bar is green because he's on 6.0. If you're on 6.0.1 it will appear mostly red. That appears to be a bug.
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
Yeah don't worry man, it's mostly airplane mode savings and using it all the time.
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Mine is totally green on 6.0.1

Hey guys,

I got my moto play 1 week back and within first day I updated it to androird M.

I am on 6 th battery cycle of the device. By using turbo charger its taking 2 hours to charge phone from 2 to 100%!!

I am just worrying about my battery performance. Can anybody verify weather my battery life is proper or should I ask for replacement of device.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

[X Play General] ganeshsk:
Oh boy... Your battery is perfectly alright... Turbo charging doesn't charge your phone from 2 to 100 in 15 minutes... It will take its own time and 2 hours is not bad... Normal charging takes about 3.5 hours... And you are getting more than 7 hours of SOT is great.. Many users are frustrated that they don't get more than 5.5 hours on stock rom and custom roms... Be happy with your mobile and enjoy this battery beast...
[X Play General] sumit2105:
Thanks a lot for reply bro...one of my frend was saying that he is getting battery life for 24 hrs with wifi on for full period. So, I was in little worry regarding battery life. But after reading your reply can enjoy the joy of #moto !!
[X Play General] ganeshsk:
You will get more than 24 hours of WiFi on time if you keep your mobile aside for sometime... By the battery stats you have sent, it seems you are a heavy user and the screen is almost on all the time... Anyways there is nothing to worry on your mobile and it is absolutely a perfect piece... Go ahead...
[X Play General] niteshneela:
Im on bliss rom .. Barely get 3 hours of sot with next to minimal usage .. i dont game or browse a lot .. my main usage is spotify for about 2-3 hours and 30-60mins of browsing per day ..I used samsung s6 turbo charger to charge my moto x play from the beginning .. d u think my battery is faulty by any chance ? :/ ( Connected to wifi all day - barely get any calls )
[X Play General] Chaotick:
I get all green reception on 2G and no mobile data connection only wi - fi. Cell range is crappy near where i live. This setting seems to give better battery overall even on heavier usage :)
[X Play General] ganeshsk:
[MENTION=6287235]sumit2105[/MENTION], Do turbo charging once and normal charging twice during charging cycles... That will make battery last longer...
[X Play General] pijes:
Any statistical proof to back that claim?
[X Play General] ganeshsk:
I don't have any statistical proof to back that claim... I only know that turbo charging heats the battery more than by a normal charger... "Maybe" this can claim the battery life overtime... I have heard many people say slow charging is better and the battery lasts longer...
[X Play General] AtomicStryker:
There is a ton of myths and half-truths about charging and battery life. Many of those sayings date back to NiMh rechargables, which behave entirely different to modern Lithium based devices. The memory effect for example.

So here's some Lithium-Ion facts:

- it does not matter how full the battery is when you recharge it, the lifetime is measured in recharge cycles (aka total % recharged)

- being at very low (<20%) or very high (>80%) charge may lead to faster degradation [NO NUMBERS ON THIS]

- turbocharging heats the battery more, [uneven]heat may lead to faster degradation [NO NUMBERS ON THIS], however even heat may be good

- you are very likely to replace the device long before the battery degrades past it's lifetime

Given the last point, i suggest not worrying about it. If you had some kind of 16 hour device that has to be constantly recharged, maybe, but this one? No.

EDIT: Here's my current battery life. Just about 3 days, 1:30 SoT so far, i even tried out offline navigating with HERE maps (it works) for a few minutes. And still over a half tank full. This is my best result yet.

Terrible battery backup after the marshmallow update

I've used the phone on Android 5.1.1 which gave terrific battery life. I got so excited about the Android 6.0 update that I updated to it on day 1 of release for my device. Now I'm getting a bad battery life. It would be a miracle if the battery lasts 24 hours and to add to that, the phone heats up more after the update than before for casual usage(for ex. writing this on chrome). I've gone to the extent of downgrading to the previous version but just wanted to make sure I have done my research over here. So, any others facing this issue or hopefully any solutions?
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Hey [MENTION=7087744]AtomicStryker[/MENTION] - awesome post. This is exactly what the X Play is intended for - intermediate-level activity that provides reliance go those users that need a smartphone but don't use it constantly. I've been getting around 7 hours SOT with stock 6.0.1 settings over 3 days and I'm very happy with thdt. If I left my phone alone I'm sure I could pull stats like yoirs - anyone could! I think people have misconceived what the X Play is intended for and their usage context never seems appropriate enough for the phone.

Regardless of how you look at it, the X Play is a very powerful mid-range device for those users with specific usage context. If you're. a hardcore gamer, perhaps this phone isn't the right choice. If you're a casual user, this phone is gold.
[X Play General] Chaotick:
My current setup: Stock 6.0 EU single sim. Airplane mode when i don't have any signal. Wi-Fi on when charging (in sleep) or turn off. 2G forced (due to crap network where i live) with no network data trasfer.Loctation on battery saving mode. Screen with minimal brightness non adoptive. When i woke up battery showed me that I will run out of battery in 6 days. Here are sone screen shots and stats.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Great screen to MAh ratio there! 1:1.5 is really impressive!
[X Play General] Chaotick:
Charged from overnight about 8h with these settings....Standby of 18 days :D Only spotify syncincing last few % - Very happy with these results :)
[X Play General] kassu99:
A few Days ago. I usually get stats like those, 2 Days using ~6-7h sot. My use my phone for web surfing, whatsapping, tapatalking and for watching YouTube videos most of the time.

E. Oh, wa forgot
[X Play General] ganeshsk:
I am really happy today... This is the first time i got 6h 57m of SOT with 5% still to go, but unfortunately the mobile got switched off at that point... I used to get only 5h20m... Really surprised... Watched a movie offline, lots of whatsapp, youtube, opera browsing... I cant post the Screenshot as it asks me web link for that... I havent rooted, but only installed Greenfy... Its a damn beast app no doubt... Only 2 setbacks... My mobile got switched off at 5% remaining... And Cell stanby drains alot of battery... No one has yet got a solution for that I guess...
[X Play General] ProudRed:
Standby drain eats up most of the battery and if you are not rooted, I am not sure if Greenify makes a big difference as apps keep on waking up regularly.
[X Play General] ganeshsk:
I have tried rooting, installing a custom rom, tried all methods to increase my battery life... Custom roms have bugs, heats the mobile, one or the other problem... Finally i came back on stock rom and just installed Greenfy... That was it... Hibernated all apps except whatsapp... And during deep sleep the device seldom wakesup (detailed battery stats shows NO WAKE)...
[X Play General] ProudRed:
So you are not rooted yet Greenify gives good sleep time ? Thats good to hear. Here all my battery drains due to standby.
[X Play General] ganeshsk:
Yes... Try greenfy and set it for aggressive doze... Put all apps to hibernate list... And the "home button" for shortcut to lock and hibernate apps... This helps to hibernate all apps while you get the phone to lock too... That helps...
[X Play General] ProudRed:
Do you greenify system apps as well ? If yes kindly pm me with the dos and donts if possible.

But majority of my battery drains due to standby.. Its like 2700-2800 mah every cycle.
[X Play General] ganeshsk:
2800 mah of standby drain is more than 70 % drain... i dont think that is correct... On which rom are you??? 6.0.1??? Or 6.0??? By the way the battery stats (for me) on 6.0.1 was wrong... 6.0.1 shows way more mah consumption (put all apps together) than the actual 3630mah... I came back on 6.0 and works fine for me...

Stock 6.0.1 with Nova prime launcher, no root, locked
[X Play General] Chaotick:
Great results!

I noticed that my stock MXP stock 6.0 normal settings after first full charge - after updating apps etc. will give the best battery life. After 1 hour of minimal usage still with 100% battery so doze works , wi fi shuts off when phone is not charged all is perfect. However on any cm13 rom with squid kernel and lionfish after the same operations there is drainage about 2%+ per hour of doing nothing - zero usage. Probably a bug in some builds.
[X Play General] Ev0luti0n_:
Jesus Christ... I cannot get past 4 hours with stock 6.0.1... :'( what am I doing wrong? Why are there so much conflicting posts on battery life with this particular phone?
[X Play General] girouf:
Wow... I don't think I ever got under 7 hours or so since I purchased the device and was on lollipop. I regularly get 8 and up. More when mostly on WiFi.
[X Play General] AtomicStryker:
Huge difference in how people use the phone, and physical issues too. There are those living with spotty WLAN or barely-even-there-oh-god-please signal coverage, which the antenna has to work a lot harder to connect to.

[X Play General] ProudRed:
How.. Just how. I can't get past 6 hours with 100% use.. Though my battery lasts for 4-5 days.. It appears you dont get much standby drain either.

[MENTION=7081077]ProudRed[/MENTION] What's your usage and set up? As in do you use 2sims? 4g? GPS N all that..

I get 7hrs+ on wifi and single sim. Chrome, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube are my most used apps.
[X Play General] Ev0luti0n_:
That is true, but on the same place with the same network. my moto e managed to do with a fresh install when i bought it 5 hours SOT. I installed lot's of crap and it wen't down. But managed 3 of SOT... consistently... with 10/12 hours of usage daily. How the ****, does my newly purchased MXP does the same thing, with the same usage levels? it doesn't make sense! i charged the battery correctly when i bought it, and has been through a few cycles. I am using the canadian model.

It's absolutely retarded! Some people have retarted SOT levels and standby, others are ****ed, like me. Can't get why.
[X Play General] lokesh.acm:
In my opinion is the cellular data which matters the most. If I use 2 Sims and only 4g data I get 5hrs SOT max with 16hrs of usage. Switching to wifi increases the SOT a lot. 6hrs+ SOT with 24hrs of usage. But I've got to say I've never got 3hrs of SOT[emoji14]whatever my usage, 5hrs is the minimum(from 100-5%)
[X Play General] Ev0luti0n_:
Well... My carrier has such bad coverage that is ridiculous so, it's always on bad signal. Could be that it influences it. Just noticed that I was browsing for an hour on Wi-Fi, with medium brightness and it consumed just 9%, on sound cloud at the same time.!
[X Play General] lokesh.acm:
Definitely influences it.
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Mostly while browsing on wifi, the phone will use about 10 percent while 1 hour of SOT.

So that means if someone browses regularly, he can get around 9 to 9.30 hrs of SOT which is what I got once.

[X Play General] nikolov47:
Yesterday got 8 hours SoT, and today died within 2 hours and 45 minutes of SoT. The main difference was that I used to stream my music through the Google Play Music and used the option to keep the cache of the streamed songs in the MicroSD. Somehow that made it running all day a lot after I stopped listening Music and the CPU total time was 6 hours (CPU foreground was 49 seconds) and it reached the top with 23% battery usage. So probably this thing with is MicroSD had something to do because after I stopped everything related with streaming over mobile network and cleared the cache the drain stopped. So take a look for apps that use the MicroSD for a long time.

Anyone with 6.0.1 to noticed that the daydream was turned on by default? I realised that after my phone became extremely hot during the night.

And does anyone encountered the over-counted statistics in the battery menu? It's strangely odd sometimes.
[X Play General] lokesh.acm:
Day dream was off on my phone. 6.0.1 I got over counted a few times on 6.0 but I haven't seen it on 6.0.1 till now. Really these issues are random. Not everyone has it. Should check about the SD card though.
