Adaptive brightness provides better battery life ? I thought it drains a lot of battery.
[X Play General] lokesh.acm:
Depends. If you are in a bright environment the brightness will crank up and if you are in a dark room it'll crank it down low. Well that everyone knows. But I've found that the adaptive brightness usually has the screen set brighter than most require. You can manually set to what you want to have a noticeably better battery life. I've tested manual vs auto brightness for sometime now and the results are consistent. Auto usually keeps the screen brighter than required in most scenarios. If you truly want to take every minute you can from your battery, go the manual way. But if you are moving from one place to another quite often, you'll find it irritating to always set the brightness manually.

That's new. Stock Rom? Rooted? And since when you have this problem?
[X Play General] JohnHorus:
Both stock and rooted, and it's been happening for about a month, bought the phone a little under two months ago.
[X Play General] lokesh.acm:
If a factory reset doesn't fix that, you'll have to use your warranty.

[X Play General] dictionary:
Not bad. I'm honestly eagerly awaiting a good hotplug. This is with squids kernel. 512 read ahead, fiops, and I think that's it.
[X Play General] saintsimon:
I'm pretty convinced about those screen notifications and movement induced awakenings draining the battery. Those functionalities do not make sense with LCD displays. Test that by disabling the screen notifications and compare the drain. Also the always listening function can be a drainer.

I have high hopes about the new custom kernel enabling the signal LED to save energy. It would be even better if Moto would give us the choice between LED and screen notifications with an update.
[X Play General] ephumuris:
I'm used to using double tap to wake. I do actually quite like motos notification system but its definitely over sensitive. Of course LCD doesn't make sense for this method.
[X Play General] EnIXmA:
After 50 hours of standby and 8 hours of screen on Time, I am going to put my moto x play for charge with 13 % battery remaining. This phone is such a beast for battery life, with my s6 I had to charge it -3-4 times daily. [emoji3]

[X Play General] DrunkenDragon:

Any tips on how to increase my battery life?

I thought this was really impressive until I saw this thread haha!

Any tips or help greatly appreciated, also apologies for creating the other thread - Thanks to the mod and poster that sent me this way.
[X Play General] LuizHenrique91:
I suggest the basic: keep background sync off, try to use wi-fi instead of 4G, if possible.

I guess the battery life can be better with kernel optimizations. If Motorola don't do, we will be able to install optimized custom kernels soon.
[X Play General] DrunkenDragon:
I've done that... now just wait :D Thanks for the TIP btw made sense
[X Play General] ac4tw:
I've disabled all the Google stuff and tried the xposed mobile radio fix and still getting a lot of battery drain related to mobile radio active bug. Any other ideas for a fix?
[X Play General] monsi6661:
7hrs SOT with WiFi, 4g, location on all the time.
[X Play General] ephumuris:
All I'll say is how.
[X Play General] puremind:
The more you use the phone, the higher the SOT. It is counter intuitive but if you don't use it much you are trading SOT for standby. The phone is rates for 9-10 hours of doing one activity, so assuming you do nothing but use the phone, you will get close to that.
[X Play General] XMoDuLeSx:
That's it ;)
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
I tried this tweak and it works a lot smoother then stock auto brightness,but i got the idea it was draining my battery a little faster and also the device felt warmer. When i looked in some of the files i also saw a line "1280x720" display size. Do you still use it and what is your experience so far ?
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
Hey Sick. Yeah I still use it. I enjoy it and find it's better than stock. I haven't noticed anything with battery life. All the posts I've made showing my battery life have been since I used the tweak. I may remove it and compare again to stock but I don't have any complaints whatsoever.

I didn't even notice the 1280*720 line. Good eye! I don't know what this would do but there haven't been any adverse effects for me, personally.

Hope that helps!
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
I'm not sure about the battery life since I'm not used to use auto brightness at all,so that could be imagination :). Do you also use the modem power save tweak included in the files ?

I couldn't get it to work after flashing,but that modem power save tweak also sounds intresting.
[X Play General] wojnar:
Hmmm 'modem power saving tweak' sounds exactly what I need. Can i have more details about that.

Thanks
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/battery-tweaks-t3210546

It should change some lines/values in the build.prop to enable a modem power save feature that is hidden by default. It changes a value from 0 to 1. I think it doesnt work with MM anymore.
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
I'm hesitant to give any modem a tweak. I rely heavily on my mobile signal and WiFi strength so implementing a tweak thst might save me 3-6 hours of battery isn't worth it to me. Have others tried it?
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Someone from the other thread tried it and from what I understand is that it just limits the signal strength. This must have some disadvantages like loosing connection. I also think its not worth it.

After tweaking with Amplify and Greenify/root on stock 6.0.1
[X Play General] floid180:
i dont know how you do it but i cant!

i have change kernel and configurations but i only get far 4 hours SoT and you all get over 6!

How do you do it?

I love my phone but how do you do it?!
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
No kernel change is a start xd stock for liiiiife.

If you want I can share my settings all the way to the details.

First, be rooted, stock kernel, stock rom, latest update to whatever Marhsmallow version 6.0.0 or 6.0.1. Then SU, Amplify, Greenify which must be installed. Amplify requires a donation package for full control.

Adaptive brightness ON, don't pump brightness up too much, make it 50% max, adaptive will do the rest. Daydream off of course, location off when not using, which is almost always unless navigating or tracking exercise. Make it so wifi is off when not in use, or only while charging it's on constantly, either will do.

Pff.. what else. Xposed installed of course, Greenify turn on Boost mode, Shallow hibernation Aggressive Doze. In the Xposed based features turn on Wakeup Timer Coalescing, Telephony wakeup (if you hibernate phone app) and Block State Abuse.

Then SU, Amplify, Greenify.

Go to Settings>Apps and Disable all apps that you never use, Google Slides, Sheets for example, or Cloud Print, when did you ever print via your phone?, maybe even Moto Display etc. OR freeze them with Titanium backup.

Amplify.... if you use Location based things, do not limit or block things with a Location tag or something along those lines, also by experience do NOT limit Icing, it will make Google Chrome and Google Play Services crash every 10 seconds, literally. Otherwise just test and limit, see what is able to be blocked. If it has tags or a name that seem too important, don't touch it.

Also turn off Google Now if you don't use it, I mean everything, voice, cards, everything, I personally did the same with Moto Voice, Connect etc.
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
That's how you do it :). Nice info. Only thing I have never used is amplify but will give it a try since everybody is talking about it.
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
Amplify will single-handedly bring an extreme increase in standby :P I do recommend googling something before limiting or turning it off unless it's obvious what it does by the tags.

Also fellow Dutch resident. :P
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Hmm standby..... time.... Extreme.........

Downloading
[X Play General] coolkingler1:
I may have overhyped it.... but you will definitely feel it. Recommend googling around for what to limit in Amplify even if it is old.
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
:) Still downloading,lol
[X Play General] girouf:
past day On WiFi only...
[X Play General] ProudRed:
Wow, how do you get such long SOT after using only 50 odd percent and your network signal looks poor as well. I get 7-8 hours of SOT on entire use.
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Today wifi only.
[X Play General] migue8282:
Stock rom?
[X Play General] girouf:
Yes network signal is poor at my place. My apartment is more or less a basement so it's always orange mostly or yellow . BTW I only recently switched to a 3G only preferred network setting. Seems to have increased battery life even a little more....

Other than that stock 6.0.1, no root, no unlocked, no amplify or anything... just apps I use ie.. chrome, adguard, cravetv,netflix, Gmail, quick reply, smart unlock, Wavelock etc...

I don't use much of the Google services ... location saving or web and app activity...
[X Play General] ProudRed:
Even I dont use.. they are enabled by default..
[X Play General] girouf:
Yeah funny thing, I have stopped using Google now some time ago and just recently I figured maybe I should go back to using it if only for having the option tu use Google on tap every now and then and also I wanted the ability to use it for setting up reminders and maybe get cards for my team when hockey starts again. Well there is no way to use the app without allowing Google to record my web and app activity ... how is this an absolute necessity to use now on tap in a basic manner or get cards for my hockey team or setup a reminder??
[X Play General] ProudRed:
Why dont you disable Google launcher altogether ?

BTW can you post your setup please ? mention the modifications you have made from the default setup. If possible the minimal details as well. I am using MM and not rooted with greenify. I dont get beyond 7-8 hours of SOT with 3-4 days of standby.
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
My setup reaching almost 10 hours.

Stock rom

Interactive governor with "Ghostpepper profile"

Squids oc kernel

Greenify (Only user apps)

Lspeed (assertive display and more switched on)

Disabled lots of google apps i dont use.

Debloated boot script.

Edit: 7/8 hours in 3 or 4 days is very good.Most only reach around 6 hours.
[X Play General] girouf:
Yup Google launcher disabled but doesn't seem to be a way to completely stop Google now or is there ? It always restarts so best I was able to do is just keep logged out of Google now and set the assist app to none in default apps. Don't try and force stop GN otherwise next time it restarts it will set itself back as the default assist app on its own lol

[X Play General] minimale_ldz:
Is this with adaptive btightness turn to the lowest and phone used in a dark place or some magic?
[X Play General] girouf:
Lol... Well for sure I almost never use adaptive brithness and i have created a shortcut in my quick settings using quick toggles that lets me switch with a single click between 3 preset settings I created and the adaptive adaptive one. The lower setting (the one I always use at home) is set quite low but is still very bright without "adaptive" sometimes too bright if I pick up my handset as soon as I wake up and watch a mostly white screen. When I'm out and about on a normal day I use my mid setting (around 40 %) and it will do just fine in most situations. For specific situations or very bright days or watching a video or photo in direct sunlight my high (90 %) setting is used or the adaptive one. But not very often. Don't know why some were complaining about this screen, color accuracy is great, max brightness is almost unmatched and good viewing angles. Only "issue" is with fingerprints lol

---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

Otherwise no magic.. Doze does function as it was intended too... some people claim it does not. Not using most of Google's backdoor services. I have setup my device in a way that is quick, easy and efficient for me to manage my phone. I sync when needed with a single click (I don't get much emails) no need to even leave photos sync enabled now unless I took a series of them. You can now sync single photos on the fly. * I recently replaced 2 apps I was using daily and had absolutely no issues with but just noticed they are no longer in Playstore. They were not updated for too long a time so I found replacements that were updated using the latest libs. Outdated apps from what I understand are not optimized and would conflict with things like doze and warlocks (correct me if I'm wrong)

Only keep apps I really need and use and don't leave permissions enabled for ones I rarely use. Recently I have been trying to read more on this allow system settings modification permission since it would allow some services to change settings you set without your knowledge and perhaps turn itself on and get network access etc.. i have it on only on services that would really change my device's usability. Not sure if it might make a real difference.

You guys are the true knowledgeable people and I do like to read a lot and keep up on Android and tech and even though I don't participate a whole lot on this site, I read you guys every day !

So let me know if you have anything to add, I can only learn more ?

[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Hmmm what a difference in battery life switching to another launcher. My sot went from 8/9 hours using Nova launcher to 5/6 using this new "HomeSquare 2" launcher. Looks so nice and different i just cant switch back anymore and just deal with it. :)
[X Play General] lokesh.acm:
What? Seriously? Just a launcher switch?
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Try it and you will see. Its a windows 10 style launcher and if you choose transparent tiles with a blur effect, your battery aint gonna like it. :)
[X Play General] lokesh.acm:
Will give it a try [emoji1] Couldn't find home square. Could u link me up?[emoji14]
[X Play General] minimale_ldz:
The best I had so far. I tried overnight flight mode, as a DND feature, but not anymore. Batterywise it gives extra 2% a day, so not really a big deal. Phone radio drain remains a mystery to me - it's always on top of drainers list, but on the other hand I use quite a lot of 3g data and there's a poor signal at myy workplace. Anyway - for battery saving I use greenify (root), gappless rom, manual syncing, and Tasker profile that turns wifi/data off and turns screen brightness to the lowest when phone goes to sleep. Firewall gives some extra juice as it blocks all unnecessary connections, Adaway does it's job as well. I also blocked all auto starts that I don't need and restricted background data. Antiglare screen protector gives better visibility outdoor, so less brightness needed. I also started messing with cpu settings, and currently using Ghostpepper profile (thanks [MENTION=5725023]Sickaxis79[/MENTION]).
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Wow. Great SOT. Thats what i mean with saving some battery. Glad you like it :)

I seem to be losing a lot of battery due to GPS running onnthe background through instagram app. My Location services are turned off. But I dont want to uninstall the instagram app.. any fix to this ?
[X Play General] German_Malik:
Disable the Location Services from the Google play services or instagram with the App "My Android Tools". ;) But you need root for that.
[X Play General] rgamboak:
I can think of a few options. Try disabling location access for instagram, you can do this from settings -> applications -> instagram -> permissions.

You could also use greenify to keep Instagram from running in the background.

Or, try installing another version of the app. If this happens with the latest update, try with the version before that one. Or, if there's a new, update it.

Anyone can show how much SOT they get using mobile data only? No Wi-Fi.
[X Play General] GtrCraft:
5+ hours should be manageable but dont compare someone elses SOT with you. Every user uses his/her phone differently

[X Play General] -sandro-:
I did that's why I was more precise not to compare but to get an idea. All the stats posted here seem to br always on WiFi or 90%.
[X Play General] ProudRed:
I get 7.30-8 hours with or without Wifi.
[X Play General] lokesh.acm:
You finally getting good numbers huh? :)
[X Play General] pijes:
If you live in strong signal area and with that kind of usage, 6 hours is probably the minimum. Despite low signal strength being the major battery drainer, Google play itself is another known contributer especially during standby/idle. Combine that with bad signal quality which the phone use more power to get better reception, you'll probably end up with 4 hours.
[X Play General] ProudRed:
Haha brother I am getting these numbers after compromising my standby time :(

If the battery lasts for more than 2 days.. numbers drop to 7 and with this mamoth battery I was exoecting 9 hours of SOT like others :D
[X Play General] -sandro-:
8h on 4G would be a dream to get... Is this really real?[emoji3]
[X Play General] ProudRed:

[X Play General] -sandro-:

[X Play General] lokesh.acm:
XxMikeMasterxX that's the max I could do. Light - Moderate usage.

Gps on (battery saving)

Screen brightness : low

Optimus kernel; conservative governor;

Installed amplify at around 40% and yet to figure out how to get the best of it.

Plus Tasker to switch airplane mode from 1am to 7am and auto sync for 5mins every 3hrs.

I've set the 'aggressive doze ' on in greenify but the phone takes a while to enter doze mode.

Sent from my XT1562
[X Play General] Sickaxis79:
Lokesh, that's a great SOT. How is performance using conservative governor ? I tried to install the r11.2 on stock rom but it doesn't show me the oc cpu speeds.
[X Play General] minimale_ldz:
A day of intensive use. 11h SoT, screen used a bit over 1000 mAh, which gives around 100 mAh per hour. Mobile standby drained 360 mAh, so in theory there could be an extra 2-3 hours of SoT without standby drain
[X Play General] raptorskate:
What's your setup? Governor, kernel, apps, etc. Great sot!!
[X Play General] lokesh.acm:
I used conservative because I had exams and I only used whatsapp n was learning tasker. The swipe on the keyboard is not as fluid as you would like but tapping on the individual keys is fluid even if you tap really fast and it's best used if you are not using the phone that much.
[X Play General] AtomicStryker:
Are you not using your XDRom? I am on Marshmallux and my Wifi Usage screen looks different from yours. Also, are you using custom kernels / governors / boot scripts?
[X Play General] minimale_ldz:
I'm on XDR, the other version, not Marshmallux based. Ghostpepper script is there (stock kernel), Greenify, ForceDoze, and that's about it.

EDIT: I'm also using Auto Pilot Mode due to horrible signal at work

Unfortunately that's the current state of affairs, yes. It is normal. Depends how long you had your phone on before taking that screenshot.
[X Play General] Ausraster:
AICP ROM with Optimus Kernel.

Lionfish governor and medium usage. Only on WiFi.

Sometimes it's a bit laggy for like 1 seconds, but that's ok for me.

(Reboot was because of a Xposed module)
[X Play General] raptorskate:
Great SOT! I wanna try lionfish con AICP too, what's your big and little core freqs?
[X Play General] Ausraster:
Big is with maximum at 1708 MHz and minimum at 345 MHz.

Little is with maximum at 1209 MHz and minimum at 200 MHz.

Inputboost is at 800 MHz only for the 4 big cores.

And I got Wakeupboost activated. :)

As I already mentioned sometimes (like 10 times a day on really heavy multiuse) there are small lags, but I don't care about them, if I get a good SOT. :)
[X Play General] raptorskate:
Thanks! Gonna try this right now! Sounds interesting :)
[X Play General] ProudRed:
Looks like the wifi bug is back again. Scanning and location settings are disabled from Wifi. How can I fix this ?
[X Play General] XxMikeMasterxX:
I feel like it's being misinterpreted by the system. How could your WiFi use 3314 MAh of battery when the phone has 3630 total? I wouldn't trust it, Red. It looks like you're getting a few days' worth without having to charge the phone. I don't really suspect your WiFi modem to be causing such drain.

Have you tried monitoring with any other battery apps?
[X Play General] ProudRed:
No not yet.. I will try once clearing cache once and see if its repeated. If it really does then I will monitor with some other app.
[X Play General] Ausraster:
Did you try it? How was your outcome?
[X Play General] raptorskate:
I did some of them, but unable to completely test it because of Pokemon Go, consumes tons of battery.. Can you add some screenshots of the Wakeboost stuff? Thanks!!
[X Play General] pilzgift:
My mom bought the Moto X Play and I took the liberty of disabling most bloat apps I could + installing greenify, mainly for aggressive doze - all unrooted.

The result: Around 0.2-0.3% drain per hour in GSAM Battery Monitor when coming out of longer standby periods. With her rather short SOT it holds at least 5 days between charges so far.

Durable little device.
