Haven't let the phone drop to down close to zero yet. But here's some stats.

USAGE: Bluetooth always on and connected to Gear S2.

GPS always on for weather (set to GPS only , use high accuracy for maps if needed.)

Screen around 50% when lounging at home. Auto brightness at work.

Main apps the past few days. YouTube, internet, xda labs, spotify, camera (take tons of pics) up to 150 to 200 texts per day.

Some emulation (gba) . Oddly most of these apps didn't even use battery.

Edit: these are just random screenshots in no particular order over the past few days. I work overnights if you wonder why i take screenshots late lol
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] raw2000j:
also make sure you go to accounts and uncheck stuff you dont need synced I only keep google to sync and disable the ones I dont need if your phone keeps syncing alot of things will drain your battery

It seems like mine has issues of not going into "doze". I spent most of the day leaving it sitting on my desk at work idlling connected to wifi and the battery still drained to about 49% by the time my shift was over.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] GiancarloMorr24:
Mine is the same way. Frustrating as hell.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] blakedunc235:
I seriously don't see how people are getting bad battery life... I only have the power saver mode on because I don't like how bright the screen gets without it and I don't like the lights on for the soft keys. But this is about what I get all the time with this phone, which is great compared to my previous android devices. This is with casting a lot of YouTube videos yesterday and today also. I was also connected to my Gear S2 for the whole day with a lot of notifications all day as well. Now I will say my battery life was a lot less before I factory reset there phone. I was getting about 4-5 hours of screen on time before I hit 10%. If any of y'all are still getting bad battery life it may be worth giving a factory reset a shot.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] blakedunc235:
I haven't had to turn off any syncing with Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, XDA, Gmail, or Reddit and I'm getting about 8+ hours of screen on time before my phone dies... They might need to do the factory reset. That's what I did and my battery life almost doubled
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] raw2000j:
Mine is good too im only syncing facebook and google but even in google I uncheck some stuff like drive sync in stuff. I still get notifications from other ones and Im still good.Mine I factory reset once I opened the box and recieved my phone.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] aznmode:
Agreed on the factory reset and in my opinion start from scratch. This is my 3rd day. Technically 3rd cycle.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Stixxbixby:
Using Package Disabler Pro w/approx. 125 apps disabled/WiFi most of the time/Dark theme/Airplane mode at night/Location services off/Sync 2 email accounts as needed/Auto brightness. Reduced screen resolution to 1080p at about 50% as an experiment, but no other battery saving settings.

No gaming. Lots of internet, YouTube, social media (no fb app, I use internet), & a alot of media consumption, etc...

I typically get about 6 - 8 hours with the aforementioned setup. Almost as good as my S7 edge...

Thanks mate
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] blakedunc235:
Mine has been great since I factory reset. I do use medium power saving modes but only because I don't like how bright the screen gets and I don't want the backlights on the soft keys. Other than that everything else is there same as normal mode. I don't have sync turned off, my Gear s2 is always connected, and I constantly used my phone to cast YouTube to my TV. The fact that I got my screen on time that high is amazing. I have never come close to that with any other phone.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] aznmode:
That's awesome. I tried cutting my screen to 1080p also and there was no way I could really tell it was only 1080p. But since I factory reset I've been getting awesome battery so I haven't tried again. Might give it a whirl again.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] blakedunc235:
Screw that! I tried the 1080p when I first got the phone but everything is too bloated and it only saved me like an extra 10 minutes according to the battery saver thing. The only thing that I had on the medium battery saver was the brightness at 80%. I still left the resolution at 2k

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] RaymondPJR:
Are you guys doing a reset from here or with the three button combination? Does it matter which you do?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] aznmode:
I backed up with smart switch my texts, images setting, then factory reset doing both ways. First within the setting, then I completed the setup but didn't restore from a previous device nor did I allow any auto reporting. Then I wiped data and cache via 3 button or stock recovery. Also did not resync during set up or allow reporting.

I logged in to Google after setup and not during. Also used smart switch to restore a back up i did before I factory reset via sd card method. I did not install all my apps right away. Installing them as I need them so atleast I'll know which apps are the culprit if my battery drain again.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] blakedunc235:
I did the factory reset from there. And honestly I still set the phone up the exact same way and restored everything from the Samsung cloud backup. Then after everything was set up I went disabling some apps. But I only did a few tbh. Any input lag and bad battery life is pretty much gone. Right now I'm at 55%and I'm like 10 minutes about from 4 hours of screen on time.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] blakedunc235:
So I was going to stay up and try to see how long my battery would stay again while watching YouTube but I'm too tired. However seeing as I'm close to 6 house of screen on time at 35% and the battery settings says it'll last another 6 (although I think it'll be closer to half of that since I'm watching non stop YouTube) I think it's safe to assume that my phone would make it around the 8-9 hours of screen on time again. I'll upload my full usage this time some everyone can see what all is killing my battery and compare it to yours. Overall I'm completely satisfied and I think when I'm trying to kill a battery in a test and I'm getting too tired to keep going then I have to assume that the battery life is pretty darn good. I still honestly don't see how a factory reset was able to make my battery life pretty much double but hey, I'll take it. If there's enough interest I can make a video of all the settings I have on my phone currently that helps me squeeze so much out of it.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Spacey123:
I've been having battery issues. Even when unused for hours, the phone remains hot to the touch. Rebooting it fixes this, and I then get great battery life for maybe 6-12 hours until the problem starts again. When the problem happens, wireless charging becomes mostly useless since the low charge rate can't keep up with the usage. Sometimes I wake up the next morning after a night of wireless charging and my battery is lower than when I went to bed. If I then reboot and put it back on the wireless charger, I'll be at 100% in an hour or two with minimal heat. Later in the day, the problem will come back. If I use the fast charger, it has no problem keeping up, however hours after charging is complete the phone will still be very hot to the touch as the CPU keeps grinding away.

I also noticed that wifi calling seems to work fine after a reboot, but within a few hours the icon disappears. If I go into settings, wifi calling just says "Enabling" forever and all the options, including on/off, are greyed out.

"Android system" is generally the culprit. For example, it currently shows it has used 51% of my battery and in 6h21m of realtime, Android System has used 6h5m of CPU time. If I go to a shell and run top, I see /system/bin/imsd using 25% cpu (100% CPU of a single thread on a quad core CPU). If I reboot, CPU usage on this task is low again until a few hours later when everything goes bad again. Research shows this process is related to wifi calling. CPU usage of imsd seems to correlate to my battery/charging/heat issues.

Thinking this might work around the battery drain, I disabled wifi calling and rebooted. However, the issue returned a few hours later and imsd is back to 25% CPU.

To give you an idea of battery drain, with the phone just sitting on the desk doing nothing (but AOD enabled), I lost 10% in 1 hour. Of course, if I do anything with the screen actually on it drops much faster.

Is anyone else seeing anything similar? I haven't tried factory reset yet, but if all else fails I'll probably go that route.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] blakedunc235:
Yeah it seems like a factory reset could only help. I personally dont use wifi calling. Seeing as it has just about doubled my battery life I'd for the reset. Like I've said before, I have no clue what the factory reset is actually doing in this case but theres been quite a few people (including myself) of which this helped.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Tornlogic:
Guys.. I have something to report.

I haven't done a factory reset or even reboot my phone since I have got it (See screenshot). I'm a pretty heavy user with a huge number of apps installed, I even play games too. The only thing I have done is enable the medium level of power saving mode.

Average from the time I have owned the phone, I'm getting about 27hrs (3.7%/hour) between charges and 4.5-5.5 hours screen on time.

So after reading this thread I wanted to see if power saving mode was being of any use. I turned off power saving mode for the first time since I got the phone and let the phone just sit there without really using it much. The drain on the battery after sitting for about an hour with little use went to 4.4%/hour. That may not sound like a lot, but guys, I didn't use the phone... it just sat there. My 3.7%/hour is with me playing games, watching video, installing and downloading software.... setting the phone up for that matter, you name it. So I think give power saving mode a try first, don't discredit it.

One other thing I noticed. When I first turned it on after I got the phone, it said I would gain about 30 minutes. I thought, "whatever, better than nothing." When I disabled it just now.. it showed me loosing 5+ hours of battery life! So I don't know if the more you use it the better it adjusts itself, or if the reporting changes based on how you use your phone. *Shrug*

I just wanted to report my findings. I'm very happy with my phone's battery life, heck, I'm so very happy with the whole thing as a package. I come from a Note 4 and a LG V10, and I just love the note 7, wouldn't trade it for anything right now.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] aznmode:
I lost count of how many cycles it's been. I think 5th or 6th since factory reset and still going strong.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] aznmode:
Lol ok this is nuts. I'm not on any power saving mode or anything turned off.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Spacey123:
I factory reset last night, added my Google account, set up iris and fingerprint... Installed only 2 apps, Doggcatcher and Nest, connected my 3 Bluetooth speakers/earphones.

And today my problem came back. 10% battery loss per hour with screen off, wifi calling stuck in "enabling", imsd using 25% cpu, phone is hot to the touch...

I just uninstalled Nest, turned off bluetooth, and rebooted. If it still comes back, then I guess I'm going to factory reset again and install no apps at all and keep bluetooth disabled.

Was about to factory reset mines. But ran it on med power saving today and got these results
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] RaymondPJR:
I want that without turning on power saving options. I'm willing to turn off notifications in apps, freeze some, sleep some, use GPS only for location, but I want to run the rest at full throttle. I got almost 5hrs SOT today after my reset. That's the most I've gotten so far. I used a lot of battery re-dowloading a lot of stuff which is not normal usage, so I'm not counting it as successful until I check usage tomorrow.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] drum747:
Best screen on time of any device I have owned. Only thing I did was disable Lookout and run Material Black with a black wallpaper running Nova Prime. Probably running around 35% brightness most of the time. It started getting better after the first 3 days and over the last couple of days has now peaked at 7 hrs,ish. Mostly twitter (Talon, black theme) and surfing, a few videos and maybe a call. I did do a factory reset after a day with the device, running smooth ever since. This was yesterday, normal mode not power saving:

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] johnny tsunami:
I am coming from the note 5 which in my opinion had horrible battery life. I couldn't make it past 11 am before the phone got to 30-40% battery. I use the mid battery saver and when I get home I'm at 45% almost every day. I use Google maps heavily, and I stream music to my truck, and I read and send emails almost the entire day. I am pretty happy with the battery life I get. Also I know my grammar isn't perfect, but reading some of the post here gives me a headache. Take some time to proof read before you post.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] GiancarloMorr24:
I agree with you. The battery leaves something to be desired. While Samsung and carriers figure out this whole recall thing, I picked up a ZTE Axon 7 and, man, this thing rocks. Great battery life as well.

You must mean the 'middle battery saver' in Samsung settings. Just checking.
[X Style (Pure) General] CZ Eddie:
With 815 nits and low glare screen, the Moto X Pure is by far the most easily readable 5.5" or larger phone under direct sunlight.... which also has unlocked bootloader and can flash CM/AOSP ROM's.

Just wanted to mention that fact.

And based on history, I don't expect the upcoming Nexus 5.5" to have a brighter screen even though it's AMOLED.

Heck, even the Moto Z is far more dim.

Combined with the bright screen, SD storage, water "resistant" and nice bezel to screen ratio size, the MotoX Pure just can't be replaced for me right now.

And I really, really am itching for a new phone.

Just isn't anything on the market that compares (for my needs) right now.
[X Style (Pure) General] mrbracht:
Couldn't have said it better myself. Nothing out there at the moment seems worth it to upgrade.

[X Style (Pure) General] skinnykinney:
My only complaint is how weak these screens are, and if you get even one little crack 9t renders the screen useless... My s4 was shattered all over and still functioned perfectly. I've broken this stupid screen twice, second time barely at all and screen didn't work. Luckily the first time I ordered a new screen they seller accidentally sent me 2
[X Style (Pure) General] jumphour:
I agree. I bought this to use with Republic Wireless to try out their new GSM service. My old Moto X 1st Gen still works great, but I was itching for a new toy, and I'm not rich, so the Amazon Prime Day special was perfect for me. When I got it, I immediately started missing the AMOLED screens I'm used to with the Moto X 1st Gen and 2 Galaxy S4's that I have. The resolution is gorgeous, but I miss the deep blacks and popped colors. BUT....today I was using it outside, and it was by far the best phone I've used outside! And I love the GravityBox feature to slide the brightness up swiping the status bar.
[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:
True... But the cost of that brightness and outdoor visibility is it drains your battery like fruit in a juicer. High screen brightness where the display is maxed out is beautiful on this device, but if you can get 90 minutes of usage on a full charge your darn lucky.
[X Style (Pure) General] Richy101:
I like the look of the Note 7 too but less keen on the cost. Nothing really makes me want to swap my X Style. Bright screen, good speakers, good mobile reception, battery lasts me most days but can always top up with turbo charger. Might even get Android N? Mine is still stock.
[X Style (Pure) General] richteralan:
At least I have the choice to set the screen that bright, even if it can only last 90 minutes.
[X Style (Pure) General] acejavelin:
I didn't mean is a bad thing necessarily, more of a clarification.
[X Style (Pure) General] CZ Eddie:
Oh, and louder than average speakers so I can listen to talk radio while walking my dog in loud areas.
[X Style (Pure) General] erikiksaz:
Agreed. I have a 6P right now and it's useless under sunlight with polarized sunglasses on.

And the stupid thing doesn't remember bluetooth loudness levels per device like my X did.
[X Style (Pure) General] CZ Eddie:
There is an app for that.

Wish I could remember what it's called, but I do remember it worked well for me back when I needed it.

Search Play store for Bluetooth and you'll find some neat things.
[X Style (Pure) General] bv90andy:
Uhh. I just downgraded to a Xperia z5 compact, mainly because the headphone jack broke on this, probably because it's so darn big and using the jack in my pocket puts too much pressure on it.

I chose the z5c because it has dual speakers and almost the same chipset:

The speakers are crap compared to the X. The screen in sunlight has these weird glares as if you can see tiny wires over the screen(the digitizer?) And the 810 inside it gets really hot doing the simplest things, like redditing.

So now I use both phones. The X for reading/listening to stuff around the house, and the z5c for when I'm out.
[X Style (Pure) General] artpena2323:
Would u recommend the moto x over 6p. I like Android N on the 6p but the screen is dim as hell. I have a HTC 10. But I want a bigger screen. Thoughts? Thanks
[X Style (Pure) General] Richy101:
I sometimes think about moving to the HTC 10! I do find the X Style a little clumsy to use one handed. On the other hand I like the bigger display. BTW, how do you find the HTC 10 display outside on a bright day?

As to getting an X Pure/Style over the Nexus then I'm sure you'll find the Moto display easier to use on bright days. Otherwise is the Style better than the Nexus 6p then I don't know for sure. If your bothered about updates then the Nexus will be better. For the money I'm sure you'll not be disappointed with the Style/Pure

To bad when my phone rings and I pull it out of my pocket I can barely see who is calling and barely can see the red n green phone icon while in bright day light.

No custom rom.
[X Style (Pure) General] aybarrap1:
It will depend on you really. If getting the latest and greatest Android version and security updates is a big deal, then the 6p. If you are outside our using your phone in really bright areas a lot then the MXPE is the better for that. Everything else after these considerations will really depend on what little features that each offers that you think will benefit you the most.
[X Style (Pure) General] jaydm:
I'm looking to finally upgrade from my AT&T Note 3. I want SD card support, 5.7+ screen, and an unlocked bootloader. Moto X Pure seems to be the perfect phone for me.... unless someone can recommend a better phone.

I don't know if this has been posted already, but i have this pretty big issue with my phone.
