I work 60 hours a week. On 2 consecutive work days 6 hours of screen on time took me from getting up around 6:30am one morning until late evening the following day. Around 11ish at night. That's as good as 2 days for me I think I turned on power saver at around 13% and the phone kept going for a bit after the screenshot too.
[X Play General] nileshlog:
Got my phone on saturday 3rd October and am already worried about my battery. Phone felt warm the first time I kept for charging. After that my usage pattern is as follows. Network mode 2G(3G only for about 15 minutes max in a day) data connection always on. Single SIM for now Wifi for 12 hours, always on. 2 Hours of games+movies mixed usage. Casual browsing for about half hour. Music about half hour. whatsapp, facebook as and when notifications arrive. I am worried about battery life since at the end of about 12 hours my battery reduces to about 30-40%. I was expecting it to last for atleast day on this usage. GPS is off.

Should I really be worried. Is there any test which I can carry out? I there any app which I can use to track my usage and battery consumption. Since this is my daily usage phone, I cannot afford to let it shut down and have to put back to charging before i start daily commute to/from office.

I understand that I may have to let it go through some charging cycles. But does anyone observe any abnormality. I am worried since I am on 2G network and not on 3G or 4G
[X Play General] Nico3d3:
I don't know how you manage to get less than 30 hours of use. I get 48 hours and I'm not even trying.
[X Play General] brom25:
I have the same issue. Really depends on the apps you are using or just the apps you have installed.

For me, Instagram and Google Play services are a real battery drain. I will root to install BBS and Greenify to see if there is a real improvement
[X Play General] Rodefy:
Here is what I get with dual sim. WiFi on when required, no mobile data and games, few hours of video, Skype and browsing.
[X Play General] nileshlog:
Lots and Lots of apps installed....but i clear background apps when Iam not using them. I've also switched off notifications for most of the apps except social network apps(facebook, whatsapp) and emails
[X Play General] cristianmartin:
24 h more or less

In my case, with many aplications, for example TSF Shell, runs 24 h more or less.
[X Play General] nileshlog:
Today morning charged to 100% and left home. at 6.15 am. Then used 3G for about 5 minutes, movies for about 15 minutes, some emails reading and browsing(cumilative 10-15 minutes) bit of whatsapp and music listening about 1 hour. At 9.40(now) my battery has come down to 77 %, projected to last up to 9 pm today andcurrent screen on time is 1h 1m 19s.

Should I be worried? I think I should be.

When I received this piece, it has a very small smudge on the top near the headphone jack. I think this is a refurbished piece.

This is not to shabby - almost 5 hours of watching YouTube videos and still have just under 50% battery left.

Plug it into the turbo charger and it tells me to expect to be fully charged in 30 minutes - what's not to like?
[X Play General] 100rabh7791:
Which turbo charger are you using? And are you using 3g or 4g ?
[X Play General] Tim3tripp3r:
1. Stock Motorola unit that came with the phone (from Telus in Canada)

2. 3G only, don't have 4G in my location.
[X Play General] 100rabh7791:
Cool they provided you turbo charger with the box... Didn't happen with us in India

I was wondering whether it will perform better with 2g or 3g?
[X Play General] ephumuris:
It's a shame they didn't provide us in the UK with a turbo charger. I've bought one for my car and one for home they are a godsend.
[X Play General] 100rabh7791:
How much time does it take to charge the phone fully ?
[X Play General] ephumuris:
Not sure from totally flat probably about an hour I never pay attention I know its just much quicker than my standard moto charger. My home one is an aukey and my car one a tronsmart.

After a week of having X play I must say battery is great (32gb dual). I dont play games on my phone and I dont want to root it. Wifi data all the time, a lot of calls and emails, Google Maps 2-3h a day

For those who have problems with the battery:

- Official Facebook app kills the battery although it sometimes is not indicated in battery stats. Uninstall it for 1 day to feel the difference. I'd recommend "FBL Desktop for Facebook" great small app

- widget (Power Toggles) with Sync to turn it off if you dont need it. Dont know why it is NOT in notifications! Without a widget it is probably always on.......

- turn off location if you dont need it - I actually turn it on only when using Google maps for navigation

- Calengoo - great calendar that doesnt requires Sync on all the time

- MailDroid, Aqua, Type Mail - again they dont need to Sync all the time
[X Play General] 100rabh7791:
Hey nice review .. I deleted fb app on your suggestion just to see battery results but couldn't find any alternative for it.. Unable to find the app you have mentioned

I use power toggle too... And for email i user blue mail (it's really fast and doesn't rely on active sync ..)

Not sure about Calengoo as i really like my Calendar app
[X Play General] 100rabh7791:
Hey guys this is troubling me ... i am not getting good battery life when i use my phone outside my house ... i am on 2g date mainly and i tried 3g data also (it automatically shifts to 2g at times ) but my battery is draining a lot lately ... any1 have any suggestions ??
[X Play General] nileshlog:
On saturday I requested for replacement from flipkart and I was asked to download an app "smartcheck" from a link provided by flipkart. After connecting to this app remotely they carried out some tests and later told me that they have installed some patch and I should use the phone normally for few days to check performance, else they will replace.

Yesterday I used from 100% to 14% without charging and following are the results in the attached screenshots.

Can someone tell me if my battery is healthy?
[X Play General] 100rabh7791:

Don't know what I'm doing wrong...

3h sot... I usually have 50% brightness, location on and off, Bluetooth android wear, Web browsing and whatsapp and snapchat.

I would get 2.5 on my galaxy s6 so I'm a bit disappointed that I'm only getting half an hour more...

Any thoughts?
[X Play General] ephumuris:
Not enough information. What is using most battery in the battery info section. Anything with unusually long wake times. I had a game installed that was keeping my phone awake for hours unless I closed the game by task manager.
[X Play General] Icepray:
Got my end of Day stats, so I did a clean format last night and uninstall reinstall google play services (wiped cache) but doesn't seem to have changed much.

Here are all the pics

Usage has been the same as all my other phones, now my gs6 would die around 3-4pm and i lasted till 8pm but really I don't think messenger should be above my screen usage, something is wrong
[X Play General] Slotrat:
Your poor mobile network signal is probably to blame for your poor battery life. That's my guess anyway.

Skickat från min XT1562 via Tapatalk
[X Play General] Icepray:
I would agree... other than the fact in the last 2 months I've gone through a LG g3, nexus 5, G4 and S6 (Yes i know I have a problem with phones) and none of them had a bug with the mobile network radio staying on....
[X Play General] Slotrat:
Yes but poor GSM/3G/4G network signal drains battery like crazy. Your graphs indicate more than 50% of the time your phone was turned on you had medium to poor coverage. My network indicator graph is almost never even yellow and never ever in the red. I got 6 hour SOT the other day... I'm on stock unrooted rom with 3G, WiFi, positioning and 2 push mail accounts, Facebook and other stuff. Maybe one hour of gaming as well.

Sorry abut the picture size, I have no idea why it went crazy huge?! :confused:

[X Play General] lokesh.acm:
Here's mine. All the time I was on wifi. Location - battery saving. I was in my house the whole time and in a dark room. The final sot was 8hrs something. Forgot to take that screen shot. Anyway 8hrs is because I used it indoors. Will get a 4g Sim in a few days and then update.

[X Play General] ephumuris:
8 hours is insane screen on time. I was happy with 6 mostly wifi hours!
[X Play General] MrBelter:
I bought one on Saturday and on Sunday after its first charge i got 6 hours 1 minute before the battery saver came on at 5% but i was being cautious like i was still using my Nexus 5.

Yesterday i got a more modest 4 hours 10 minutes but i had WiFi on constantly scanning, i didnt turn off my mobile data, i did a 90 minute walk using the track walk feature of Fitbit so GPS was blazing away for 90 minutes solid, played a few games, listened to some music through the speaker, lots of texts etc and the screen was at 50% brightness.

I couldn't be happier, i finally have a phone that i can actually use and get though a day without turning features off.

EDIT:

Just to add i have terrible signal in my home as well, it is a 50/50 split of very little signal and emergency calls only.
[X Play General] live4speed:
Yeah it was off [emoji4]
[X Play General] lucalunardi:
Here goes mine...

Battery saving mode on auto from 5% down.

Posting this on the same charge yet. Still on 2%.

Location services on battery saving.

Data and Wi-Fi always on.

Auto bright set at around 50%.

No games played. A lot of social networking tho.
[X Play General] lokesh.acm:
Although these numbers are very good I think, maybe it's just me, that it could've, maybe even should've, been better. Maybe it's the chipset that's not that efficient or maybe software optimization. Hopefully after next update, marshmallow, it'll be even better what with doze and all. Bought this phone solely for the battery and I hope it gets better. Cheers to Motorola for consistently putting out phones with great batteries. ?
[X Play General] MrBelter:
Doze on my Nexus 5 worked wonders, i hope it has a similar impact on the X Play.
[X Play General] MrBelter:
After owning the MXP for a week i got 8 hours of SOT. Screen on 50% adaptive brightness, high accuracy location, mobile data is on but non was used this day, WiFi only.

(Id forgot to do the third screenshot so i got then just after putting it back on charge but you still get the idea)
[X Play General] Ralse:
Any autonomy hunters here?

I notice hardly anyone mentions their network settings and such when posting their autonomy.

I personally set my phone to 2g standard, it's fast enough for push mail notification and I can change the settings whenever I want.
[X Play General] MrBelter:
Why would you set it to 2g only when it doesnt use any less battery then 3g?

I'm on Three, it says so under my name.
[X Play General] Ralse:
2g uses less energy on my previous phones for sure.

How come this has changed all the sudden?

This article explains that 3g does indeed not use more power but only if the signal is strong.

http://www.speedguide.net/faq/2g-vs-3g-vs-wi-fi-battery-usage-on-mobile-phones-362

If the signal is weak for whatever reason (which happens here the time in Western Europe) it will consume more.
[X Play General] lokesh.acm:
I have always found 3g to use more battery than 2g on my previous phones. Maybe it won't if the signal is good but here in India it is not good. The signal bars always dancing. It's the same with 4g. God it's annoying but what can you do? Will you use 2g to browse? No! Argh. I wonder why we won't get good signals.
[X Play General] MrBelter:
Im on Three which doesn't have any 2g network whatsoever of its own and even in a poor reception area (my phone displays emergency calls only 50% of the time when i am at home) i am getting 8 hours SOT.

What you seem to be talking about is having mobile data switched on and using it, what i am talking about is purely for calls and short messages. If you have the phone set to 3g but do not have mobile data on then 3g is just as efficient as 2g.

Looking this topic battery is not that great for 3630 mAh.

4-5 hours is nothing special or even good for this kind battery.

Thought it is better
[X Play General] ephumuris:
Most people I've seen have posted between 6-8 hours or screen on it all depends on your usage. I've never squeezed more than 4 hours screen on out of any of my android phones. The fact I can get 6 out of this is amazing.
[X Play General] veethree:
Not only can I easily get around 6 hours of SOT with this phone, but I don't have to disable any services or features to do it. I've never been able to do that with any of the other phones that I've had, so I'm pretty happy with the battery.

Hi,

I'm using moto x play for more than 15 days now. I got SOT of 5 to 5.5 hours and standby time of around 14 to 18 hours. I'm heavy user. I see people are getting upto 8 hours of SOT. Below are the screenshots. Does it looks good or should I be worried. :confused:

It really depends on the usage. :good:

I have already reached 8h SOT at home, using WiFi and basic stuff.

When I am on the go (at class or at work), I manage to get 6h max.

Is something wrong?!

I'm getting a SoT of about 6 hours on my X Play. But charging it is an absolute pain.

It's like i plug it in at around 1-2 a.m. at night and i check it at 7:30, its still at 91%

I literally charge it when it actually switches off due to the depleted battery.

Am I doing something wrong here or is my device faulty or something? Bec charging it for more than 5 hours on an alternate day basis is a little too impractical.
[X Play General] lokesh.acm:
5hrs charging? Nah mate. Something is wrong. I charge it everyday and from 10-100% it approximately takes 3hrs. Either you are using some cheap cable(I used a spice phone charger once and it charged some 10% in half an hour) or your device has a problem. Get it sorted soon.
[X Play General] KushagraJ:
I use the in-box accessories moto supplied me with. Even though my it has started to last me a day but it dies definitely take a long time to charge.

imgur.com/a/ib2aS

Not a heavy user. Mostly internet, mail, some skyping, some minor videos and a couple minutes of games. Phone is on Wifi during the day and mobile during the night.

Rooted, Xposed, Greenify, Amplify, Smartnetwork, Tasker to automatically turn off WLAN when not connected / not at home cell. Periodically enables WLAN when in home cell, searching for the Wifi, which is off at night.

It has now been charging for 40 minutes, and went from 8% to 35%. So, two and a half hours for a full charge maybe? Im using the charger it came with.

Battery is pretty damn good. I was at 86% and had it on standby for 8 hours and had 1 hour and 22 min SoT.
[X Play General] yash296:
The longest I've gotten till now :D

Battery life has increased a lot since I've initially got the phone. Keeping the network on 2g when the data connection isn't being used has increased the standby time. Here in India 3g and 4g networks are poor, hence it searches for the network every now and then. I usually get 5-6 hours sot when I'm out the whole day and 7-9 hours sot when I'm at home and using the WiFi. Phones completely stock.

[X Play General] MattDN93:
Had the device for 2 days, first battery rundown, about a quarter of the time on 4G but the initial part was no Sim card so on WiFi only. Had a half hour phone call, some FM radio, browsing, YouTube and so on. Admittedly not heavy usage but was wanting to see how well it would do coming from a Nexus 5. I'm super impressed.
[X Play General] mgolder:
On my first full rundown of the battery, and I'm very impressed so far. Lost 2% overnight, which I'm very happy with, thats with wifi and data turned on.

Checking emails, whatsapp, sms, photos, solid explorer to organise and delete a lot of photos, web browsing and music with a bluetooth remote for it. Not the busiest of days, but can't imagine I'll ever not get through a day with this.

Also, never seen a phone with so few wakelocks!
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
Dat 1 second though xD
[X Play General] MattDN93:
The battery was at 1% so I was just waiting for thr 7hr mark before it shut down (which was a few seconds later xD)
[X Play General] coolkingler1:

Marshmallow should boost standby time so much that we should have more left for SOT
[X Play General] sruba209:
how are u guys getting such high screen on times?

i am getting 3-3.5 hrs screen on time.

my config : brightness fixed at about 20% (no adaptive brightness).stock latest rom, no root.

wifi always on , location set to battery saving, mobile data at 4g, but i dont use it much, mostly browsing is on wifi.

battery stats: facebook, google play services , android os and mobile standby are usually above the screen (consume more battery than screen).

will post a screenshot soon
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
First thing 4g uses much greater battery than 2g, keeping location always on also uses battery considerably even though it's on battery saving mode,brightness at lowest.
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
This, and facebook. Facebook is a *****.

Mainly locations and facebook are sucking your battery, try turning location off unless you need gps, and try to use greenify to counteract facebook somewhat, or remove facebook and use greenify anyway.
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Haha... Agreed ?
[X Play General] lokesh.acm:
According to my experience I've always gotten 3/3.5 sot without location and Facebook. Using 4g. The thing is, if I use it continuously I'll get around 5hrs sot. But if the phone is in standby mode, you're trading sot. If you turn off 4g the standby battery draw is far less.
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
4g and 3g are battery sucker. Moreover the battery gets depleted much fast when the connection to 4g or 3g isn't stable and keeps changing. And yeah if used continously 7 hours screen on time and more is possible on 2g and wifi connected always.
[X Play General] lokesh.acm:
4g battery is supposed to be like WiFi but with the horrible network connections it can't be availed. Airtel and their absurd advertisement. I bought a 4g connection and I hate it. So I went back to 3g on tata DoCoMo. It's better for the battery life and the speed is good too. I don't know why airtel chose 2300Mhz for 4g. Hopefully the other players will come with better plans and network coverage.
[X Play General] K.khiladi:
Compared to 2g they are battery sucker as everyone knows the quality of 4g and 3g in India.
[X Play General] kumeipark:
Airtel use FDD-LTE Band 3 (1800 MHz) on NE circle and speed is so horrible. On 3G I got 6 mbps and on 4G I got 0.33 mbps.
