[X Style (Pure) General] co.ag.2005:
while it didn't do as well as the G4 in the video loop test, it seems to be allowing all day use from reviewers. That's what matters to me. Can the phone last all day with moderate to heavy usage? According to some of these reviews, yes.... But I'll have to see for myself. Mine should be arriving in a few weeks!

Really want to see some GSAM stats of this thing.
[X Style (Pure) General] jphantom:
pretty sure the turbo 2 is based on the moto x force
[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
The Pure should have been the X Force. Everything as is except have a 3630mah replaceable battery :)

The guy who did the verge review said he is getting 4 hours of SOT by the end of the day with 5% leftover on his moto x pure. I know take it with a grain of salt because its the verge.
[X Style (Pure) General] ishken:
The reason for the thickness has to do with the layout of the motherboard. The Note 5 has a board about half the size of the Moto X. Reason being the two additional processors on the board handling contextualization and gestures. The fact that it is packing so much more within the body, but is ONLY that much thicker is amazing. And that board is dense. Like packed to the rim with everything it needs. I think Xiaomi's Mi4i is the only other mobile board I've seen packed so tightly.

So considering this, you can't really judge them together.
[X Style (Pure) General] redwings8888:
For OP or anyone else really, did you use the 2014 Moto X? It was the same complaints with that device, I found with the turbo charger to not really even care. This phone is 700mAh more than last year and has faster turbo charging, I'm not worried at all about battery life.
[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
I will compare to my Note 4. As long as it lasts the day I am good. My Note 4 lasts all days with 30% left and I use the heck out of my Note 4. Hoping the MXP15 lasts all day too :) I will not use fast charge much at all, since not very health for sustaining battery capacitance over time. Perhaps will use in an emergency, but that is it. Fixed batteries are not as convenient/simple to replace as my Note 4.

Besides, when I am out, fast charging is rarely an option since no place to charge.
[X Style (Pure) General] Docarut:
My prior phone, Xperia Z3 had better battery life. Phone spends 2-3 hours nearly daily in locker at gym on first floor of 2 story building. Sony had cellular reception though weak while the MPX invariably goes to no service. I am going to put in Airplane mode while there. I hope this will help battery life some. Just have to get in habit of taking out of Airplane mode when leaving.
[X Style (Pure) General] dajmanjt:
Really really great battery life. Even in poor reception area. I'm looking to probably get around 5 hours screen on time easily and its just the second day of use. Loving it

I have not rooted this phone yet but on my M7 I would use a xposed module called airplane mode helper (might be called something very similar) and app nobars to switch in and out of airplane mode automatically while I am on the subway underground and have no signal. Will definitely help with battery.

Edit: app description says it might not work with newer versions of android due to API changes.

[X Style (Pure) General] milski65:
The last place I worked no one could get service inside the building. Always drained my battery with phone searching. Had no choice but to do airplane mode (or quit). You'll get used to turning it off once outside, and you'll see a huge improvement battery wise.
[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
Average SOT is 3.5 hours based on reviews and non light users. And my own use.
[X Style (Pure) General] Docarut:
Information is appreciated Joe!

I am sure it will help. T Mobile is trying to spread frequency 700 and bidding on 600 coming up. These should help penetration and range. Just do not know if will be in my area.
[X Style (Pure) General] Master&Slave™:
Within the next few days I'll be testing out some governor tweaks I've made that should keep performance up and also save you battery. You'll need an app like Kernel Auditor to adjust these governor settings.
[X Style (Pure) General] Morutimeru:
At first battery life was horrible, 5 days later and it's awesome!

That's with every moto feature on, adaptive brightness on, location off, brightness at 25% max (and that's too bright ).

I think the battery life issues people are having with this device are related to signal strength and GPU intensive apps (games)... I only play clash of clans and oc2, if I play oc2 my battery last 2 hours, or 2 and a half (sot time) at most and I think that's acceptable for gaming.
[X Style (Pure) General] Corduroy-21:
Can't see what this has to do with my post though.

:)
[X Style (Pure) General] Master&Slave™:
Apparently my governor tweaks won't stick as I think the stock Kernel keeps overriding them. Until we get a custom Kernel, I cannot move forward with the tweaks. I apply them and around 10 minutes later, they are back to stock, it is very frustrating.
[X Style (Pure) General] paullu:
Mine sot around 4 hours but today i just unplug like a hour ago and it show approx only 5 hours from 98% battery??!! What happen?normal?
[X Style (Pure) General] Master&Slave™:
Change to 100% again and reboot your phone.
[X Style (Pure) General] paullu:
I did what you say and got a little better before 5 hours on 98% battery now 7 hours on 99%. What about yours?
[X Style (Pure) General] samomamo:
I have the 16gb pure from Best Buy all stock not rooted , i disabled whatever i could and im getting a great battery.
[X Style (Pure) General] samomamo:
These are all the apps i disabled.
[X Style (Pure) General] Master&Slave™:
69% with 4 hours left.

This will change of course as I won't be on my phone every minute of those 4 hours but I get why you got alarmed.
[X Style (Pure) General] devsk:
I am consistently getting 4 hours of SOT with 2 days off charger or 5+hrs with 24 hours off charger. So, this battery is a consistent performer for me.

I am also loving the turbo charger. Its no joke!
[X Style (Pure) General] shootquinn:
I'm up and running and also loving the turbo charger. I think battery performance will be even better when the cm rom is done.
[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
How did you disable them? I tried to use Package Disabler, but not compatible. It works great with my Note 4.

I notice that both active display and Moto Voice drain battery more than expected. Easily 20% more battery with those off and the eye sensors. I wish there was an option to use those features only when charging (AC and USB).

Root your phone, install ''kernel adiutor" and profit. At 75% i have 1:35 sot ( i do greenify the living sh*t out of my apps though ). The turbo charger is awesome. So glad i got the Moto X Style instead of waiting for the new Nexus 5X :)

Why 5x?i decided on 6p.... Similar in so many ways plus more positives. Unless reviews change my mind then it's back to moto style
[X Style (Pure) General] shootquinn:
Honestly can't ask for more than 5hrs exactly at 15%. Can't help but think that was the design criteria for this phone. ;) 100% LTE with good service. I get worse results during the week at work because of reception (not terrible, but it has to work for it). I use DS battery saver, appops xposed, and gravity box. I use appops to turn off keep awake and location permissions for most everything.
[X Style (Pure) General] odin13:
In Europe the pricing for the new Nexus phones is ridiculous imho. As the Nexus 5X will go for the same price as the Moto X Style i have no regrets choosing the Moto. Larger screen, larger battery, expandable storage and a decent camera...works for me :)

[X Style (Pure) General] paullu:

[X Style (Pure) General] SymbioticGenius:
Hold out hope guys, I've had Motorola phones most of my smartphone life. I'm pretty sure marshmallow will fix a lot of the issues y'all are having most of all battery life. It's working wonderfully for the Nexus 6 so far. Good luck guys, maybe I'll join you guys if this 6P thing doesn't work out.
[X Style (Pure) General] H0tep:
Lol looks like your phone was discharged for about 8 hrs (~10am - ~6pm). 4:44 isn't that good when you only have 8hrs of discharge.

Try keeping the screen on till it dies. U might get 5:30 of screen time with 5:30 of discharge time lol
[X Style (Pure) General] Corduroy-21:
That doesn't make sense. SOT is SOT. If he had the phone in airplane mode for one day without any SOT and then started using it what difference would it make?
[X Style (Pure) General] mDaniel:
Because the battery drain on Android (while the screen is actually off) is very high.
[X Style (Pure) General] Corduroy-21:
Depends on the phone and your settings/apps.

As also SOT is different if you play games or just read something.

Comparisons are extremely difficult because there are many different factors.
[X Style (Pure) General] Oaklands:
Today has been the slowest day ever for using my phone. I have been swamped at work all day and only have about 42 minutes SOT and wifi has been on even during sleep. I have only used 13% and GSAM is showing 1.2%/hour over the last 10.5 hours. I think this is excellent standby time. I'm not a game player but I'll have anywhere between 2-3 hours of SOT per day and I think the lowest my battery usually is before I go to bed at night is 40%. It is not unusual to have 55-60% left on slower days. The battery has done great for me after settling in.
[X Style (Pure) General] bhazard451:
Greenify added an extra 15% of battery life per day for me.

Marshmallow should hopefully bring levels back to how they were in KitKat. Lollipop is a battery whore.
[X Style (Pure) General] Oaklands:
I agree. I had to keep my G2 and my LG 8.3 on KitKat. LG left us stuck on 5.0.1 and had to roll them back. Hacks me off the would leave you stuck on a useless version. I'm also using Greenify.
[X Style (Pure) General] rehpyc:
I say Power Nap > Greenify, especially when paired with Amplify
[X Style (Pure) General] benjamminh:
Here is a template that might be helpful to use when talking about battery life (alterations welcome)

Previous Phones: HTC Rezound (extended battery), Droid Maxx

Carrier: Verizon

Unrooted, 32gb, used for four weeks

Battery Life Average: 11 hours, 5 hours SOT (screen on time)

Average Usage: Internet, no graphics intensive games, 2 email accounts synced hourly, use Facebook, no sync, some photos.

Signal: Mix of wi-fi and LTE, generally strong signal

Battery Management: Lux screen brightness (generally 20-30% inside, higher outside), Greenify (generally freezes facebook), mixture of location settings, use moto display (but not wave to activate), use moto assist, use Moto voice occasionally, Bluetooth on, connected to Fitbit Charge HR

What uses the most battery? By far the screen according to GSAM battery monitor. Particular apps: google+, Facebook, Chrome

Other Notes: Poor signal drains the battery extremely fast. Video recording drains battery quickly. Generally use quick charger in car, especially when using Navigation/Maps. Very low held awake (wakelock)time, standby battery drain is very good. Don’t seem to have any rogue battery sucking apps.

Overall: It’s fine for my use, especially if I need to quick charge for 15-20 minutes and gain a good bit of battery life if needed.
[X Style (Pure) General] bwheelies:
My N6 got marshmallow yesterday and I have not had a chance to cycle the battery and it is really solid performing. Just started using the MXPE and when it gets the 6.0 update the battery will kick tail.
[X Style (Pure) General] BobBruff:
I haven't pulled the trigger yet on the XPE, but I'm coming from the G2. How does the battery life on the XPE compare to the G2?
[X Style (Pure) General] Oaklands:
Honestly, it is very comparable. I was always satisfied with the G2 battery life and this phone is very comparable. It may even be a little better. I Ann not a 5 hour per day SOT person. I have plenty of battery life left each day and could maybe go 2 days at times. I am just used to charging my phone every night. I think you will be quite satisfied. This phone is a hell of a lot faster. I am happy i made the change.
[X Style (Pure) General] bwheelies:
First charge. Ain't no thing. Very happy.

LCD is less of a battery hog pound for pound against AMOLED.

[X Style (Pure) General] SymbioticGenius:
Well if you noticed, it's a style not a pure, so she's probably overseas and believe it or not, people from other countries speak English too :eek:

With that said, I also want to see these settings. I'm usually at the top of battery life for my phones but I haven't broken 8 hours on any phone I've had except those with extended batteries. Not doubting you but I definitely want you to teach me something
[X Style (Pure) General] ibila:
A lot of Dutch people speak and write English... It's called education... That's how we roll :)
[X Style (Pure) General] akhildp:
I consistently get 5h SOT with 1-2 days of standby depending on usage. Rooted, greenify and amplify. And thanks to the turbo charger, I usually only charge my phone for the 15-30m in the morning while getting dressed for work. Coming from an iPhone(sad, I know) this is way more convenient. Neither the battery life nor the time i spend charging the battery are an Achilles heel.

As for the 8h SOT post, I don't see why I can't get a higher SOT by disabling sync, location and unpairing my pebble. Or just using the phone at a lower brightness with far fewer apps. Or reducing the screen resolution to 1080p (haven't tried but there's an xda thread for that where ppl claim it improves battery life and performance). That being said, +1 to SymbioticGenius' comment above about crossing the 8h mark and wanting to learn something new.

P.S.: Been browsing xda for >4 yrs, my first comment finally:victory:
[X Style (Pure) General] chris23445:
We will see when odin posts their settings, but I feel there is a lotttt of tweaking. I feel like most sync stuff is off, not many apps are installed, and the CPU and GPU are underclocked as hell.
[X Style (Pure) General] Corduroy-21:
He's just trolling guys. I believe he knows other people speak English.

I'd also like to know how this 8 hours SOT was achieved though.
[X Style (Pure) General] odin13:
Hej,

Well here are my settings for kernel adiutor

But first things first...

Last night i was on wifi for most of the time and my brightness was set tot around 30% (adaptive brightness off) and i used my moto primarily for browsing, texting, downloading torrents and watching Avengers Age of Ultron :)

I do underclock the gpu since i don't play any games or stuff like that and i have turned off 1 big and 2 little cores (performance is still excellent for my type of usage)

Usually i get around 5hrs SoT btw.

This 8hrs surprised me too...but hey...i won't complain :)

*PS i do use greenify (no system apps greenified)and all sync is on...location enabled too. Also i disabled all moto actions

[X Style (Pure) General] akhildp:
except for the GPU and CPU tweaks similar config as mine. Thanks for the settings though. Will give them a spin and come back with 8h SOT screenies maybe. :p
[X Style (Pure) General] rushless:
The main power saver is the GPU throttling, since the 418 is for whatever reason a hot, power sucking demon. Moto needs to offer throttle options in an update. Shame such a good device to have battery and heat issues due to a poorly governed GPU. The CPU is not the problem.
[X Style (Pure) General] akhildp:
That would mean even higher SOT. Someone can go past 10h maybe.:D
[X Style (Pure) General] Spike96:
All I can say is wow. First charge of the phone. My MXP is completely dead, and it rises from 0% to 100% in less than an hour.

Battery isn't the best, but I got to say its sleeping very well for it having moto voice and display enabled. Barely any drain. I'm on track to get 4hrs sot in a day. Which works for me. Anything more and you really need to consider finding a hobby.
[X Style (Pure) General] ibila:
So....2hrs SOT and 63% left. Didn't charge overnight. View attachment 3501810View attachment 3501811Was hesitant to order the phone with all the negative story's about battery life. But my doubt's are gone after one week with the moto x style. Turbo charging is awesome too!
[X Style (Pure) General] tranemonk33:
I have no idea how on earth you got that. I've had the MXPE for about 2-3 days and I'm getting like 3 hours SOT (and NOT doing anything intensive).
[X Style (Pure) General] deejayburnout:
Just got mine and its worse than I thought. OK i came from a note 3 that was rooted and with xposed running amplify/greenify/powernap so I was a bit spoiled.

Quick charge is great but the quick discharge is not. Hopefully Doze on marshmallow will be a big improvement on standby time.

Phone rocks and its a damn nice screen.
[X Style (Pure) General] antonior93:
Since i have your same concerns, i hope to get your same results when i get mine on Tuesday!
[X Style (Pure) General] devsk:
don't compare a finely tuned phone with a stock phone you just got. With tunings all in place, I can easily make 4hours of SOT with 60 hours (2.5) days off the charger on my MXPE!! I can easily do 5-6 hrs of SOT with about 36 hours off the charger.

So, go ahead and tune the hell out of your MXPE and then compare it with your Note 3. You would be surprised.
[X Style (Pure) General] Bootup:
I'm confused because the majority observations seems to be that standby time on these phones is immaculate, which means you wouldn't get that much benefit from Doze. My phone is draining about 1.5% to 2%/hour, even better overnight.
[X Style (Pure) General] TPXX:
I've got a stock non rooted pure edition. I've gotten three days between charging with over 3 hours sot. Still had about 25% battery left. I've never needed to recharge in one day. I do very little gaming though.
[X Style (Pure) General] dmb219:
I'm stock rooted, the only thing I've changed to affect battery life is I've turned off approach in the Moto settings. I've been lounging today, on the phone off & on, nothing real demanding. I have 3 hrs 15 min SOT with 49% battery left. That's my experience and doesn't mean much to anyone else because you use your phone differently. I plug in every night but could go a couple days on a charge I'm sure. With that beast of a charger, I'm good with the battery life.
[X Style (Pure) General] antonior93:
Could you post settings you're using? :)

Very good results for stock!
[X Style (Pure) General] deejayburnout:
I have not rooted yet as I want to try the stock feel for a while. When I feel like it, I will tune it as I see fit.

I know I was spoiled with my note. Fast charge is a good improvement over my note.
[X Style (Pure) General] bwheelies:
That was power using connected to WiFi for a day.
[X Style (Pure) General] brholt6:
1.667%/hr is pretty impressive with the screen on for 4 hours. 3%/hr is more realistic...your SOT is good but 60 hours off charger is the mind blowing part. What in the world did you do to manage that?
[X Style (Pure) General] devsk:
First things first: Turn the "Motorola Approach" off, then root the phone. Then, install Automate app from Play store. Learn some basics about how to create flows. Then, program your phone to do the following automatically:

1. Turn data off when on Wifi and data on when no wifi. This will reduce the drain when LTE and wifi both are available, which is the case for me at home and at work. Root is needed for this.

2. Keep GPS off unless Maps is run. Another major battery eater. You can try the Power Saving mode of GPS if you need to have GPS on all the time (why would you want to be physically tracked by Google all the time?).

3. Set the brightness to 20% and auto-brightness off. When ambient light goes beyond a threshold, turn it up to 50%. Note that at 700+ knits, the screen on MXPE is just too bright. You don't need it beyond 50% even in bright sunlight.. This is the major battery eater

4. Bluetooth off unless in the car.

5. At 11pm, turn everything off including data, wifi, auto-sync, bluetooth, gps, nfc (calls will still come in). Battery consumed over an 8 hour period is about 3%. This boosts the standby like crazy because out of that 60 hour period, 24-30 hours (about 40-50%) consumed only 10% battery!!

6. At 7am, turn everything back on.

That's pretty much I think. If I remember something I will add it here.

I spent a whole day understanding Automate and power of its features and writing my own flows. If you are a little techie, you will be off creating your own flows in no time and have a lot of fun doing it. If you are not, there is a ton of community created flows available for you to use. Look around.
[X Style (Pure) General] liqn7:
Sounds great! Do you have a settings file we can import from the Automate app? :P
[X Style (Pure) General] chindynasty:
Just got my replacement. If your battery is getting hot. 110+ degrees, return for exchange. My new device is under initial setup. Not getting hot at all like my previous. I was hitting almost 120.

Men! Just took the screen protector off before return. Nothing like naked gorilla glass. Smooth and accurate. Oh well not worth a scratch or spider glass.
[X Style (Pure) General] blmari:
5 hours on screen time and 10 hours since last charge. I can handle this. One of those hours was running a game too.:good:

And it's only Day Two of having my phone.
[X Style (Pure) General] krohme:
In terms of battery life, I've been having even better battery life then I had on my note 4. And that has a larger battery! I am somehow paranoid when it comes to battery @ times, but this device has surpassed my expectations in this topic - battery is awesome. I can leave the house @ 9am and return home from work (about 7pm)with about 30% battery left on average.

Coming from a note 2, 3 and 4 user, battery on the moto x style/pure is amazing considering its only 3000mah. And this will only improve when marshmallow is released with dose and other system optimizations.
