It has an unlockable bootloader (Moto's website). Grab TWRP from here in XDA, download and flash supersu.zip, and you're in business. Then install Xposed framework, install the apk, install Gravitybox, reboot, and make your changes. While you're at it, flash the logo.bin that replaces the pesky unlocked bootloader screen when you reboot (you'll understand once you unlock).

Just search the General, Original Android, and Android Development sections of this forum. All of the downloads/tutorials are there.

I know that there are more than 66 people who own the MXPE around here. So, where are you folks?

As for me, the battery life is very good. I consistently can last a day without recharging with SOT of 5+ hours with still some juice left. So far, I have only charged my phone patiently through normal charger (to generate a baseline for comparison with turbo charger) to always full 100%, wifi and LTE ON at all times, disabled Motorola's "wake on approach" feature, and GPS is off (who wants to be tracked all day long? I turn it on when I do maps) and my brightness is set to 20-25% with auto-brightness off. I know this is not "stock" set of features, although its not very far from stock, but then, this is my usage of the phone...;)

I think major battery suckers are: 1. screen, 2. GPS, 3. LTE. If you can manage these without impacting your daily usage, you will get a good battery life,

I have decent T-Mobile connection most of the day, although at home (phone spends 2/3rd of the day here) I have a very weak signal at -115dBm. I think it does not matter because of the good wifi signal around the house.

I am a pretty normal to heavy user with xposed and gravitybox running... I play Boom Beach, Facebook + Messenger, news, etc; I don't run any battery saving mods (greenify etc) and I make it through the day with ~30 percent left at night.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] designgears:
Just FYI for you guys getting bad battery life. The charger included is a quick charger, if you aren't charging it overnight your battery will drain a bit faster than usual. With that, after a full nights charge with my normal usage I can comfortably make it 2 days.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] con100:
Nope. Two days with the phone now and I have had to plug it in by 10pm after taking it off the charger at 12:30pm both days. My first full day I got 3 hours of sot with only 5% remaining and today just under 3 hours of sot with 3% remaining. The battery on this phone is pretty disappointing.

Both days were just browsing Relay for Reddit, Chrome, Talon and listening to Spotify. Also I was on WiFi for majority of the time. I do keep location on but have it set to GPS only and location history off. I do use Moto display but have the wave to wake turned off. I also don't use adaptive display and keep my brightness pretty low. Not sure on what percent since it doesn't tell you but under 25% for sure. I'm strongly considering going back to the Note 4 and just waiting for the Note 5 or Edge plus to get cheaper. This battery life on the Moto X is unacceptable for me.

Man I wish. There is no way I can make it through a normal day without charging my phone.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkestred:
I'm just curious for those not lasting throughout the day. What would you rate this battery at? I came from a sony z3v and lg g2. 3000mah 1080p and 5.2" screen. Maybe 2500 with the 1440 screen. 500mah is maybe 1 - 1.5 more extra SOT? And that might be generous. So you lose 1 hour SOT time. How were you making it through the day?

I now sit at 14 hours with 2 hours SOT and 61% left.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iazybandit:
So I had the phone for about 3-4 days. First day like any other phone will have a short battery life. Once you use it more and charge it more, you get better battery life out of it.

Yesterday I unplugged at 7am. Had 4 hours of SOT and was down to 11% by 11:30pm. No WIFI at all...all VZ 4G LTE (if I'm paying for unlimited data, I'm going to use it!). Email, web browsing, Candy Crush and messengers (FB, Line, KIK, Hangout)

Just to give you some comparison. 1.5 hours of SOT on my Nexus 6, which including streaming Spotify, leaves me with between 60% - 50% by the end of that commute.

If I can get the same, or even slightly less than this, I'll be happy, because the camera on the Nexus 6 blows.

First couple days I had the phone I had to charge it by the afternoon, but after finally getting everything tweaked the way I want it, I have no issue making it all day. I should note that I'm off Wifi during the day at work. I came from a Galaxy S4 and this phone is noticeably better.

It's 5:30pm and my phone has been running since 7:45am. I'm at 55% left with 2 hours SOT, 1 hour of phone calls over BT in my truck. Mostly LTE today as my son had a volleyball game out of town. Checked on XDA several times with Tapatalk. Ran News360 for a while and read some articles on DrudgeReport and surfed a little web. I just put my IQ Shield screen protector on and started using my tablet. I'm not a 5 hour a day SOT user. Its going work great for me. I do force CDMA mode while at home since i am on a network extender. This is day 3for me and out seems too get better each day.

I've had a similar day with my phone. I'm at 58% with 2 hrs 40 min SOT. Miscellaneous use, nothing real heavy duty. I have no issues with heat, sound, or call quality. I have 3 bluetooth speakers but sometimes just use the phone's speakers for music. Not always, but sometimes:p. It sounds good.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkestred:
I finished up with 4h 8m SOT with 15% left and about 26 hours before charging. Only at an hour today with about 64 percent but google services has been the main contributor and its the weekend. I'm not on the phone much. Phone is nearing 24 hours, though. Great phone, sure battery would have been nice if it were larger but ive had a G2 and the Z3v and i usually saw 2-3.5 hours SOT but 32-48 hours before charging. The MXPE has been close and infact has gotten a better SOT than my normal usage with the other two phones. But, i'm not going to credit the MXPE. I probably used the MXPE more than any phone ive had before.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rehpyc:
4hr SOT and 1 day 5 hrs w/o a charge, all data usage done on LTE (WiFi only active while home and asleep). Seems quite a few people either get this long of a charge w/ 4hr SOT or higher SOT with shorter charge time, so if your phone isn't following under similar metrics, you may have rogue app(s) preventing your phone from sleeping or a lemon battery.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frank_datank:
Originally, my response was no, but now that I'm past the initial setup and playing phase, it definitely gets me through a full day. Off the charger at 5:30a, frequent emails, avg bluetooth and google maps. 50/50 LTE vs WiFi. Usually leaves me with 20% +/- at 9pm. Not too bad! Very happy with the phone so far

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
It is not BS. The issue is how much you use apps that are GPU heavy. If not much and lighter user, no harm no foul. If you do use GPU heavy apps, that is when the battery life is worse than other devices. The Pure has the same issue as the G4- the 808's GPU.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tu3218:
Damn I was hoping to ditch my note 4 for this phone! Lollipop has officially destroyed it. Especially on the battery side. Disappointing to hear the moto isn't much better. Guess just have to see what the nexus devices have to offer.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
I have both right now. The Note 4 easily gets three hours more screen on time with the same average medium to heavy use and runs ten degrees cooler than the Pure with the same apps that leverage the GPU more. That difference correlates with GSMarena battery life tests.

The 808's GPU needs better governor management in the firmware. Might be an easy fix, assuming Moto even bothers. My guess is most light to medium users will not have many issues. Chrome can get it up in temperature though. Just depends on the apps used.

I say Might, since maybe the gpu is inefficient and cutting the clock down might have an adverse effect pushing the 1440p display. The 1440p resolution might be part of the issue as well.

Whatever the case, back to my trusty Note 4, since the Pure is boxed for FedEx pickup tomorrow. Will miss the speakers :(
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tu3218:
What carrier and Android version is your note 4 on? Mine is Verizon and 5.0.1. It gets max 3 hours screen on time on average. It's horrible. I'm sure the moto will get around that as well. But at least it won't be a lag fest.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blobberzzz:
At least your android system is not the culprit.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Verizon

5.01

40% brightness

Power saver mode on (it throttles the chipset 30%, but not noticed unless 3D gaming or emulators- I turn it off then).

LTE all the time (I turn off though if in bad signal area- rare though)

No GPS or blutooth on

All Samsung bloat disabled with Package Disabler

Air command and eye sensors turned off

My battery life is not unique and correlates to both Anadtech and GSMarena. I get 2.5 hours SOT with the Pure for same use I get 5.5 hours with the Note 4. If just streaming video, or web browsing the delta is over four hours longer- just like GSMarena shows as well. The battery life endurance tests they use are good for how efficient the display is more than the chipset.

The Pure is a great device for light to medium users, but probably not for heavier users like me.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devsk:
Now, that's an unfair comparison. Power saver mode on MXPE will likely get you the same results.

I get 5-6 hours of SOT on MXPE even without the power saver mode but with simple battery saving techniques in a 24 hour period or 4 hours SOT over a 2 day period. I have attached my shots, tuning and settings in the other battery thread. If I put my device in power saver mode with all the simple settings I have done so far, I can easily hit 6-7hours.

Please play fair and compare a finely tuned system with another finely tuned system. Out of the box default settings for MXPE are bad for the battery.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:

This has been my best result so far, 2 weeks in.

I am very happy with the battery life on the moto x style, my note devices had amazing battery - until lollipop turned up and ruined the party!

Back to the battery stats, I had been streaming films via localcast which accounts for at least 3 hours, I don't know how on this charge the device lasted so long. Must be because apart from streaming, I mainly did Web browsing & whatsapp. One observation is that in general, battery life usually gets me about 4 hours sot and about 16-24 hours every day. That's my average, which to be honest - I'm satisfied with, of course improvement is always welcome!

The device has very little drain when left idle, when in use it can also drain little when handling light to medium gpu intense apps (i.e Web browsing, camera, phone calls, whatsapp & messaging).

Heavy graphic games will force the gpu to work harder & this drains the battery in no time.

Really it comes down to a combination of individual use & how well Google services behave themselves, in the screenshots Google services left me alone that day lol!

For me, the biggest battery draw is the phone bouncing between LTE, 3G, and no service. I work on the fringe of VZW's signal, so for a good chunk of its day the phone has to search for service, which kills the battery. When I go home where there is a VZW tower less than a mile from my home, it works like a champ.

On the upside, I brought the quick charger with me to work so I can throw it on the charger between breaks and never have to worry about being out of power.

Coming from a Moto X 2013, the MXP has much better battery... of course, the old X was 2 years old so I'm sure that has something to do with it.

I think only the camera is better on the S6.

This has better memory management, and like I said, with a different kernel, it's amazing.
