Edit: I'm posting from my desktop PC in case anyone was wondering.

It's 1:27 PM PST - I'm down to 91% - I didn't use my phone other than to send 5 short text messages. But I did receive emails and notifications which leads me into my next issue ... it looks like Lollipoops does not use LED notifications at least on Vibrate mode (I leave my phone on Vibrate 90% of the time). So I forgot to enable vibrate for my text messages and there is no LED notification, so I missed my GFs texts.

Google Play Services is on top of the battery usage list at 2% while cell standby is next at 1%. 91% still as I write with 2 days estimated time left on battery. These stats are good, but I haven't gotten to end of day where I spend 2 hours double tapping on Instagram ... ... just joking, I don't check Instagram lol. But later today I will be fully setting up my phone, disabling bloatware and arranging my home screen.

I already have my wall paper as the color black.

Yep, ever since Droid One. I went from Droid One to RAZR MAXX V1 to this DT2.

I am still pissed about the no LED notification, if I am missing something, someone please let me know.

Oh, I removed all those "candy" related bloatware apps and disabled that lame DT Ignite. Why VZW? Why did you install an app that puts spam poop on my phone?!

Edit 2: 1:59 PM PST 89% Battery - Rebooted: Once - I was just on my phone figuring out how to get LED notifications. There are none. Cans someone chime in on this? Please. And no Moto Sense. Thanks!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] tallpaul02:
Trying this now. I've had what I'd call significantly better than average battery life on mine so far, but why not shoot for more. Thanks for the tips. I'll reply in a couple days with how it's been going for me.

Not sure to what you are referring. Could you explain? I'm assuming M doesn't mean 6.0 and "doze"?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] TheNeckerCube:
What is "M", sorry I'm not up to date regarding Droid News. Please explain. Thanks! ... Marshmallow -_-
[Droid Turbo 2 General] asuhoops8628:
I always disable that huge widget that takes up so much screen... Idk if the moto launcher was draining battery. For me, installing nova and using stock email vs. k9 has seen large improvements in battery usage... not sure if this is conicidence or whatnot... time will tell

there are no LED notifications (HUGE BUMMER, WHY MOTO), there is a LED behind the earpiece, but its only used for charging (phone is too dead to even turn on the screen). This has been this way w. most motos since the active display. We would need root to be able to use the front flash for notifications or a custom kernel to make the existing LED usable for notifications
[Droid Turbo 2 General] TheNeckerCube:
Thanks for confirming. Yeah I can't wait for someone to post root instructions. I primarily need it to bypass the entitlement check for mobile hotspot ... this feature has been a huge plus for me since I gots an unlimited data plan :D.

2:59 PM PST - 85% One day 2 hours left - browsing through my phone, disabling more bloatware, trying to look for the option that lets you choose "how many lines of text to display in the notification bar" or something like that, anyone any idea where that is? - Rebooted: Once More. I haven't even reinstalled my like 30 apps that I use. (Still at work, which is at home, but still.)

Anyone know any news about DT2 getting an OTA update? Took forever for RAZR MAXX V1 to get an update :(
[Droid Turbo 2 General] bigv5150:
Led notify action went bye bye with the maxx and the advent of ambient display. Which takes the place of the notification light.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] TheNeckerCube:
11:16 PM - 77% 3 days left according to Battery under Settings. 4% Cell Standby, 3% Screen. I have bad reception here, only about 2 bars, sometimes 1 bar to none. Call quality remains the same though thankfully.

So between 3 PM to now I've been using my phone quite normally, but I'm about to use it leisurely in T - 2 mins. I'm going to add my other 6 5 Gmail accounts as well as mess around with Moto features like Display and Voice. Then browse Amazon, it's holiday season. Edit: DT2 is getting plus points on my scorecard. Let's see how it holds up overnight and into tomorrow!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] TheNeckerCube:
6:47 AM PST - 66% Battery Life 2 Days Left - Cell Standby 8%, Screen 5%, WiFi 3%, Idle 2%, OS 2%. So after my last post, I set up all my Gmail accounts which took me down to 70% which is when I set my phone down. I woke up about 20 mins ago and my phone was at 67%.

It basically dropped 3% overnight. I don't know if this is normal.

Anyone else?

So in about 24 hours (it's 6:59 AM now and I took the phone off charging around 7 AM yesterday), my battery went from 100% to 66%, that's 34%. Pretty good given the specs on the phone and compared to my usage. I know it won't beat my MAXX which has been on for 2 Days 9 HRs is is currently at 50% battery - note, I've also been using the MAXX, just only WiFi.

It looks like if I had better reception here, I might get a little bit better battery life out of my DT2. And under my calculations there can easily be a +/- 7% of battery (last night 77% down to 70% under momentary heavy usage, 6 Gmail accounts setup and syncing).
[Droid Turbo 2 General] JasonJoel:
Mine drops 10%/night if unplugged. But that is completely dependent on sync settings, signal strength, etc.

I think you are obsessing way too much on your battery usage... Just use the phone and stop worrying about it...
[Droid Turbo 2 General] LordCapi:
Does it have the Snapdragon 810 v2.1 or just the normal one that gets too hot?

[Droid Turbo 2 General] bigv5150:
810 v2.1
[Droid Turbo 2 General] houseofbugs:
I would have to say that it is a good phone. However I had the Note 3, Galaxy S6, LG G4, and now the Turbo 2. I get a deal on mine through my company so it didn't cost me the $700 OOP. However. Comparing it to my LG G4 (work line, Turbo 2 is my personal line) I have to say it's a tough call. They are both fast phones and while the Turbo 2 does benchmark faster on the tests in actual use they are about the same. I do have to say that the G4 has a better camera and their features to tweak and have manual control over the camera on the G4 is nice. The Turbo's camera is still very good but the G4 wins this IMO. Nitpicking here I wish the Turbo 2 had a removable battery and an IR blaster but I can live without those. I am glad it has a MicroSD slot though. I could honestly use either phone and be happy with them. The quick charging is about the same speed as the QC 2.0 on my LG G4 and the S6 (when I had it, had hardware issues, returned it). Also their "Turbo Charging" is just QC 2.0 from what I can tell. When I use a QC 2.0 charger with it the Turbo Charging notification pops up and charges as fast as the OEM adapter. Just my $0.02
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
[MENTION=7067489]TheNeckerCube[/MENTION] Thanks for detailed report over time :) Just to double confirm, phone was online all the time, syncing gmail, etc.? Was it connected to LTE or something else?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] LordCapi:
How do you know it? Where have you seen it? I've checked GSMarena, Motorola's official web page and more, but I can see it nowhere being specified

Enviat des del meu Nexus 5 usant Tapatalk
[Droid Turbo 2 General] TheNeckerCube:
Hehe. I am a bit nitpicky but I will get over it. I just need to know how my phone behaves so I can adjust my usage accordingly to optimize my daily routine.

My phone for the most part is connected to the Internets over Wifi and through 5G network if applicable because I gots the FIOS and want to boast a 93.5-95 Mbps upload speed. When I'm out walking my dog, I'm on LTE. I have "Location" turned off. I made it a habit to do this from my older phones, so why not keep it up. I haven't used the Location/GPS for anything yesterday however, perhaps I will use it today.

It's 2:28 PM PST - 63% 2 days left on battery - I haven't used my phone much since my previous post. It however has been receiving a bunch of emails from QuoteStream (stock alerts) ... dang the market was rough this morning. I have my phone on vibrate pretty much at all times, so it was vibrating a lot. I just got a few texts from my GF. But that's about it.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
Could you add screen on time to each report?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] TheNeckerCube:
How do you reply via Tapatalk? It won't let me use Tapatalk. Says forum not supported.

10:45 PM PST - 36% battery and replying from phone. Says I have 23 hrs left.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] TheNeckerCube:
Screen on time says 3 hrs and 32 mins. Phone has not been charged for about 48 hrs. Though I think I rebooted my phone once.

7:32 AM - 31% battery. I woke up around 7. I'm replying on my phone via chrome. Can't get Tapatalk to work. Can someone please help? I'd appreciate it. Thanks! Back to the battery, says I have about 23 hrs left. Last night before bed I did a quick post because I was falling asleep. I had set up Moto Display. I fully understand the replacement for LED notifications now. Though I prefer the latter. I also set up Moto Voice but have not really used it. I wanted to use "Computer" as the catch phrase like how they do in Star Trek (TNG etc) but it was not allowed. So I chose one used by "famous inspector" from my "childhood".

I also downloaded Screen Filter which I had used extensively with my MAXX. This app instantly reduces screen brightness to a preset value. Easy on the eyes at dark mostly.

Ooh almost forgot, I used Maps Nav for about 15 mins driving to dinner last night. Cell Standby is still on top of the list for battery consumption.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] asuhoops8628:
I agree... Sadly the Droid Mini was the only phone to actually have both... Ultimate setup!

Anyway, what app did you use to configure the Moto Display? I cant seem to find where I can control what shows up as an active notification etc.

Thanks!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] TheNeckerCube:
I tapped the Home Screen Apps Button > then "Moto" and in here I found "glitter" at the top right, tapped that and it opened up "See what I can do." Then I chose Display.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
[MENTION=7067489]TheNeckerCube[/MENTION] Thank you again. So over 48h, non stop online (wifi/5G/LTE), and 3,5h of screen on time? That's really good result.

Would be awesome if you could combine all those reports into one when you finished your battery testing. Something like chronology: date and time, battery percentage, screen on time, comment of usage... Basically you already have all info :)

P.S.

5G network?!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Digital DJ:
Dear Computer,

So I got this phone on November 3rd shipped from Hong Kong as I ordered it via Design Your Own on Verizon. It seems that most people can't hear me when I call. I keep getting comlaints that I'm breaking up or garbled. I have turned off the Advanced Calling like the super smart techs at Verizon said to do, but that suck because now i can't surf the web and make a phone call at the same time, plus apparently my voice isn't HD anymore?? What's the point in having that feature if you can't use it right? I'm just bummed that this phone (aside from my call clarity complaints) doesn't seem much better than the DT1 which I'll probably be going back to. Yes the camera is better, and I guess the processor processes faster,but I can't tell. I can tell the camera is better, but I thought the camera on the DT1 was pretty good too. I do like the design better than the DT1, but the phone is bigger and my hands are small which is the biggest reason I left the SG Note line of phones. Anyway, I'm just ranting as I'm not happy or impressed with this over hyped device. Thanks for listening, I feel better...

Is anyone else having this issue or any issue with this device?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] asuhoops8628:
none of what you described.... my only grips is complete lack of dev support, which i guess shouldnt surprise me.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] TheNeckerCube:
Yep. 48 hrs, non stop WiFi and LTE, only use Location/GPS when I have to, and about 3.5 hours of screen on time. 5G as in 5 Ghz wireless signal vs 2.4 Ghz.

I can definitely combine my results. Would be interesting.

Day 3 - 10:00 AM PST - 25% Battery - 17 hrs left - I've been receiving stock updates as usual. Nothing else though. Edit: I also just realized that if I slam my fist on my table where my phone sits, Moto Display appears. I turned off the silly approach your phone sense thing. It was annoying. Normal Moto Display is quite smart. I'm starting to think that the flashing LED on my MAXX which still sits next to me right now is ... annoying.

Oh and can someone please explain how to get this forum/thread to work with Tapatalk? Thanks!
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
I thought that you somehow already have 5G (fifth generation of mobile network) :D

Yes, please combine your results. Will be the best real test.

[Droid Turbo 2 General] asuhoops8628:
Thanks so much. I stupidly disabled Moto thinking it was all part of that voice activated portion. Didnt realize it would also control the active display. On my maxx I seem to remember controlling it though the stock android settings v. a dedicated app.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] TheNeckerCube:
Replying from Tapatalk thanks to Zeljko1234.

2:36 PM - 19% Battery - 13 hrs left. I think I might need to charge this phone before going out to a Circa Survive Anthony Green performance with my GF. 18% now. At 5%, battery saver kicks in.

Nothing special since my last post. Just lots of emails received though and some texts. Screen on just over 4 hrs now.

12:59 AM PST 3% battery 2 hrs left. Just got back from a performance. I took a bunch of screen shots to document my screen on time and general battery life. When I was in the club I had airplane mode turned on. Anyway charging now finally. More tomorrow.

[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
Waiting for you final combined report. Have you managed to get around 3 days?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] TheNeckerCube:
I'll summarize my reports soon. Looks like about 3 days. But first, test round 2! This time with better reporting!

7:35 AM PST Day 1 - 98% battery life - 1 day 10 hrs left. This is odd. I woke up around 7 AM. 100% battery of course from slow charging last night. I have Screen Filter app on to quickly dim brightness. Screen on time is almost 6 minutes only. I've taken screenshots of my battery status and screen on time for reference. General emails overnight, but shortly after unplugging my phone, it auto-updated my apps. I've turned auto update off now; I like control over when I get my updates ... I'm still running Firefox 27.0 :D

Walking out the door last night I was at 10% battery. At this point I had Battery Saver turned on. I normally turn Airplane Mode on whenever I'm in low reception/no need phone situations. By 9 PM PST my battery was 5%. This lasted until I got out of the performance at like 12 AM midnight. I took a couple screen caps along the way and when I got home I made my final post.

I'll go consolidate my reports now.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
Be careful, screen filter app may increase battery drain. It's not really dimming screen, it's putting, well, filter over it. For normal use, will not see difference but for more demanding apps (games) could be more than noticeable.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] TheNeckerCube:
Hm, I had considered that before, but only in regards to it as another app running and using resources; but for a lack of a better way to put this, the pixels are still dimmed to achieve a certain brightness and that has to count for something toward battery life.

I summarized my results in a new thread: http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo-2/general/droid-turbo-2-personal-battery-life-test-t3248183. Edit: Moving forward I'll be posting updates to this thread.

:cowboy:
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Digital DJ:
Well I still have the DT2 haha. [MENTION=7067489]TheNeckerCube[/MENTION], I've been following your battery posts, and thank you very much for those updates. Seems like pretty good battery life, if you barely use your phone =)

I on the other hand run a small business and this phone is the lifeline of it. I'm constantly on my phone thru email/text/phone or surfing the web. My battery typically lasts all day until I go to bed which is what I need it to do. I know others like to only charge their batteries like once a week..jk...

BAck to my phone clarity rant... I called V and they did a phone provision reset of my device, had me reboot it and now I can finally use my phone with Advanced Calling and I actually sound HD again. Yay??

I have until the 17th of Nov to return this device, but I may be keeping it after all now that my call issues are fixed. So that said, I've got 3 days to completely fall in love with this device..lol

[MENTION=7067489]TheNeckerCube[/MENTION] my question to you sir is for the display and battery. For screen notifications I have the Moto Display. I've used the Ambient Display, but I want to know which one is easier on the battery? I also have Sleep After 15 Seconds so I can add life to my battery, and I have battery saver on so the screen shuts down quicker when I'm not looking at it. I don't want to turn this into a Battery Saving thread, but thanks for your answers. =)
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
OK, it has mono (only one) speaker but what about video recording? Does it record mono or stereo?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] LordCapi:
What do you guys think it is a better choice in therms of speed, battery life, screen and so on: Moto X Force or Samsung Galaxy S6??

[Droid Turbo 2 General] JasonJoel:
Speed: S6

Battery: Force

Screen: S6

OS/skin: Force

OS Upgrade support: S6
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
Beside rest of your list, Samsung is not really famous by quick upgrades and long support. And stock rom is deeply customized and bloated.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] LordCapi:
Yeah, I think I will get the Moto X Force, i like it better, it is newer and I really like that battery and the solid design. Also I think the screen is quite good anyway

[Droid Turbo 2 General] oconnell84:
I have to disagree with you on speed. I owned the S6 and it was one of the worst phones I had. Even after trimming the bloat it was very buggy and would lag all the time. From specs, it is a beast but loses that when it hits reality.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] JasonJoel:
Each to their own. My wife's debloated S6 is faster than my debloated Turbo 2 in everything except maybe scrolling.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] bigv5150:
Well I have to say the micro Seco d faster that the s6 may be in opening an app is no trade off for large scrolling. I open an app then scroll the rest of the time. No competition scrolling is more important.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] JasonJoel:
Like I said, each to their own. I like them both. Overall the S6 'feels' faster, but they are both plenty fast enough.

What are the front stereo speaker(s) like in comparison to the HTC One? I'm probably going to get the DT2 but am curious if there will be a big drop in sound quality compared to the One?
[Droid Turbo 2 General] calash:
The DT2 only has the 1 front speaker, located in the bottom right opening. It is a loud speaker and clear even at the higher volume levels. The M7 had better range overall, especially the bass but it is not very noticeable for my usage. There is loss of depth do to the single speaker.

It is hard to compete with HTC on the speaker setup, but it is not a huge loss and , for me, the benefits of the DT2 outweigh the minimal sound loss.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
Agree even is silly to make two openings and use only one for speaker. Moto X Style/Pure had better front end design but display is much, much better on Turbo 2. And battery life.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] pizza_pablo:
Then the dev is lying...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor&hl=en
[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
He's not laying. Depends what are you doing. With static content on the screen, filter will decrease brightness and save battery. Battery saving valid only for AMOLED not LCD. With more dynamic content, like movies or games, GPU needs to do more processing, will nullify all what display saves and drain battery even more. As he said "Great for low-light gaming, web browsing, and eBook reading." Notice, mostly static content except gaming. That's wrong or better to say, depends of the game.
[Droid Turbo 2 General] LordCapi:
Do you guys think it is a worthy upgrade from the Nexus 5 (2013)?? Imho Moto X Force is the best smartphone of 2015 but I'm not too sure if i should wait for Snapdragon 820 smartphones or this one is already a great upgrade... I really like it but i dont know if it is much more powerful than the Nexus 5 (the nexus 5 sometimes lags a little bit when you do heavy use of it)

Enviat des del meu Nexus 5 usant Tapatalk
[Droid Turbo 2 General] JasonJoel:
'Worthy' is a subjective value call o my you can make.

I like the phone a lot. The couple of complaints I have are:

1. Battery life is NOT impressive at all considering the battery size. I consistently get more SOT from my Note 5 with a considerably smaller battery. I would guess this is due to the SD810 and probably a less efficient display.

2. I wish it had a fingerprint scanner...
[Droid Turbo 2 General] LordCapi:
Really? Is it that bad? But I think the battery is still much better than Nexus 5's which is soooooo crappy. I dont like Note 5's UI so thats why I'm headed for the Moto X Force. I'm hoping for a big battery upgrade

[Droid Turbo 2 General] Zeljko1234:
I was using Turbo 2 for about two weeks. You can find my screenshots about battery in another thread. In short, with pretty heavy use (GPS, WIFI, BT music streaming...) I got almost 6h of SoT. The main disadvantage for me is heating. Luckily heats only when doing 4K video recording (hopefully MM update will fix that) and during demanding tasks like VR. For gaming, depends of the game. For almost nothing to about the same temperature as 4k/VR. No lags, smooth, voice commands works great, like design (except ridiculous two holes at bottom)..

Anyway, I decided to get Force. I think decision speaks for itself :)
[Droid Turbo 2 General] LordCapi:
LOL, you are going to buy a Moto X Force while you have the Droid Turbo 2?? That makes no sense since you can throw Moto X Force's stock rom into the Droid Turbo 2
