Battery Life in Perspective - Moto X General

I am seeing tons of the battery life threads, which to be honest, was expected. and I just wanted to put this in perspective for you guys. Currently, I own a Galaxy Nexus, but I am getting a Moto X within the next few days thanks to Moto's Cyber Monday (Wednesday) deal. My battery life average is about 4.5 hours with 1 hour SOT on a full charge. This is not my bad or minimum. This is my average. I spend half of my workday with my phone off and I never leave a charger behind lol.
So in summary, your battery life is still amazing to me if you get 14 hours with 3 hour SOT or anything better and I am really excited to not carry a charge cable everywhere lol

You should see Moto Gs battery life :|

I am generally happy with battery life. But every so often I will see my battery drain about 30-40% overnight. I assume it is a wifi or cellular issue as it also happened on my gs4 and nexus 4. Never happened on any of my iPhones or windows phones though. I assume android's modem software is just poorly written.

Battery life

I just order this phone online yesterday and was wanting to get a general consensus on the battery life on the phone... Coming from an HD2 and a nexus one before and a G1 before that I am tired of using smartphones with horrible battery life... I'm hoping to get battery life similar to that of the blackberry 9700 (I had that between my G1 and Nexus) which i was ver impressed with it's battery getting up to 2 days out of it sometimes... Is the battery anything close to that? or is it another fail for smartphone batteries?

The battery life on the Vibrant is right up there with the best of a powerful smartphone with a large screen. It will not be like the BB however.
I love the battery life on this phone I have only charged it twice sense last Thursday I seem to be getting 24 hours of normal use or more off this battery. Normal use for me is lots of testing and browsing the net I also been showing off avatar been using the battery for that.
I am very happy with the battery on this phone.

G1 to Vibrant
I too recently ordered this phone, and if the battery alone is better than then G1 I'll be happy. So far alot of good reviews. So hopefully a charger in my back pocket wont be necessary. I'll repost once I get it on Monday or Tuesday!
My nexus one got me about 4.5 to 5 hours heavy usage. This gets me 6 hours of heavy usage (straight internet). My n1 lasted a day of moderate usage, I noticed standby wasnt to great on it, but the vibrant I bet I could get 2 days light to moderate usage as I can already tell the Standby time kicks the arse off the n1....
Happy so far..

I once had a G1, worst battery ever! You will be pleased with this one!
I haven't been overly impressed with the battery life. I might have something installed that is sucking it dry but 8-10 hours is all I get from a charge (Of course this is during the initial "wow" period of getting a new phone).
Did my 1st battery test yesterdy. Unplugged it from the charger at 11am. Sittin at the throne browsing fb & twitter, email, xda (legs ended up falling aslep lol) Used camera & video for about 30 mins on the biggest resolution. Daughter was on youtube for about an hour in the car (Weird Al Yankovic's trapped in the drive thru on repeat smh). Surfing the web for a good 45 mins while wifey & daughter shopping. Watchng avatar. Get home at around 10pm and battery just now dopped to 50%. Best battery ive had since my bb8700! hopefully a higher mah stock size battery is in the work so my vibrant can go on beast mode!
Lol I had the 9700 no smart phone would have the battery life that thing has unless a new form of battery technology emerges that thing best point is to live

FYI just got mine and it is charging now. At the store I checked out the battery stats on the demo unit (in theory it has had a good deal of play time from customers) and it was at 32% and unplugged for 2 days and like 5 hours. That is damn GOOD. If we get custom kernels on this thing, that would be intense.
I think it's pretty bad. I only have exchange email on it and nothing else syncing. Even when I'm not using it much the battery is down to 70%. What's worse is that the battery meter will appear to be 100% even when it's downto 82%. I have to charge it after about 8 hours and keep in mind I have a 9700 that is my #1 for email and messaging via bbm. I could only imagine if this were my only phone. I'd probably need to find a charge after 6 hours. It's better than the hd2 however but I go 2 days without charging my blackberry so I hope that's not what you're looking for.
I will however any that for a super android device it probably had the best battery when compared to the evo, incredible, droid x etc

You can get a good 10 to 12 hours out of it with heavy usage, which is great for a smart phone .
In terms of fast, large screen smartphones, the battery life is slightly better than average in my opinion. It's a 1500mah pack as compared to the 1150mah pack in my G1. It's definitely not to the point where I would like it to be, but there isn't a phone on the market that can really provide me with that capability (unless some type of new battery tech comes out).
You can just go into your settings, then about phone and then battery usage and you'll see a breakdown of what your usage was since the last time it was plugged in charging. For me the screen is still dominating the power usage. That should be pretty typical of any large screen smartphone. Since the AMOLED is 20% more efficient than LCD it should translate to slightly better overall battery life.
Remember guys, this is also battery life with the stock kernel. I'm sure once we get a dev team working on uv/oc kernels, we'll see some significant fluctuation in the battery life, much like we saw with the N1 almost doubling battery life with the right kernel.
I have to say, my battery life has been rather mediocre at best so far. Yesterday got down to 30% in about 8 hours, and all I did was send maybe 10 text messages and make two calls. I turned off Facebook and Twitter syncing in hopes that it would help. I barely used the damn thing and it ate through the battery. It's syncing my Gmail account and two Hotmail accounts (checking every hour). I hope that I'm just not noticing using it more. In cases when I do sit down and use it heavily, battery runs down incredibly quickly. I'm rather concerned.
I believe Froyo is better on battery
Thanks for all the info guys... Hopefully the phone will be in tomorrow so I can form my own opinion *crosses fingers*
Not good. Battery lost 30% overnight in 9 hours with SetCPU set and it set to GSM Auto PRL... :-(

Conditioning is a myth... LiOn batteries don't need to be conditioned. The phone needs to be conditioned to properly report the battery, but it shouldn't be this bad.

Battery life

Hello I got this nexus 4 days ago and read it battery life suppose to be around 10 hour but I know it will be less. I'm getting about five. Curious what's everyone else is getting. Please post your battery life here.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I am described as a power user. I could engage in some heavy browsing and gaming and having the screen on all day and then let the tablet sit overnight off the charger, but I'd have to charge it late noon the next day. I usually land in the 1 day 2-8 hours range according to system battery stats. If you believe your battery sucks, roll back to 4.1.2 and your life will be phenomenal!
I'm not sure what tricks those users with 10hrs SOT have done, but I never managed to get more than about 6-7 hrs SOT. I thinks those highest results have been done with wifi off, brightness at lowest level and sounds off etc...

Post Your Battery Stats So Far...

With the couple of reviewers stating the battery isn't that great. Let's see if it they're right..my "screen on time" was a little over 5 hours*...
This is mine after a full 100% with auto brightness with moderate to heavy use..
Edit. remember to include "screen on time screenshots" unlike my OP.

After running down the out of the box battery to 20%, gave it a full charge. Since then, sitting at 6.5 hours off battery, 2 hours 1m 46s of screen on, mostly surfing the web, facebook, a handful of texts, using the Moto Display, Wi-Fi on half that time, off the other half, and about 10 pictures, 79% left.

Screen on time is the most important battery stat. Any chance you can edit your OP to include a screenshot of it starting from fully charged?
Yeah please post screen on times when reporting back.
I picked mine up yesterday, got it all setup, and charged over night. I'll be able to report back later this afternoon once it's had some significant uptime. I also have my LG G3 and Moto X 2013 next to me, and I'm trying to keep the usage uniform across all 3 to compare.

This is comparing a Verizon G3 and Turbo, as well as a T-Mobile Moto X 2013. I've always had issues with the wireless keeping the phones awake, so the battery life isn't what most of you would probably see, but it's still a fair comparison.
DROID Turbo:
LG G3:
Moto X 2013:
So basically it's doing better than the G3 and way better than Moto X 2013. I agree with you though I think the poor Wifi reception is causing the phone to be awake more often or spend more battery maintaining signal. I'm at about 5 hours with 1 hr SOT and 80% battery. Seems reasonable but I thought it'd be better.

That's my conclusion as well, I will run these through the night and I'll have a better comparison, then this weekend will be real world use.
It has something to do with our wireless infrastructure at work that causes devices to stay away 90% of the time, at the end of the work day I'll have 6-7 hours of it being away with very little SOT.
I'm surprised that it's only a slight improvement over the G3 though, I was expecting more.
Still trying to get through my first few cycles. So far this morning my phone is at 90% with only 25 minutes of screen on time. I did run google play music on the drive over here. But still, those are rather terrible battery stats, hoping to get through the first few cycles and get better battery life.

You gotta give it more than the first 10% of one cycle to get an accurate representation. Let us know after the battery is down more.
Still gonna let it get lower before charging again. This is with a full charge. I am coming from the G3 and batt life seems way better on this, but can't tell since not even 1 charge cycle

Exactly, it takes few charging cycles for the battery and the phone to calibrate and maximize the battery life.
Alright here's mine.
Bought yesterday, charged to 100% overnight, used all day at work.
Thus far appears much better than my previous phone, an LG G2, but battery life has never been a problem for me.
Did well in phone arena tests though:

SOT isnt the only thing that shows how a battery is good or not. Like I said, I streamed a lot...with my G3, it would have crapped out long before going a full day, and the battery is only about 20% bigger. I got more than that out of the Turbo. Also note, this was the full first cycle. If you dont know already, the battery will get better after a full cycles. So Im loving it. I only have one true gripe and that is the low call volume, but I know that can be fixed through an update, which I hope they do soon.

How good is the battery life on this phone?

Hey guys
I've had my Sony Xperia Z3 for just over a year now and im considering my next phone purchase. I really enticed by purchasing a S6 Edge+ HOWEVER battery life is the only thing stopping me.
The Z3 battery life easily lasts for two days without me ever worrying about the battery life. I know Lollipop has a mobile radio bug in it which would effect the edge plus but im wondering would two days use ever be possible on the Edge+? I normally get around 6 hours SOT over two days with my Z3 and don't want to be let down too much with my next phone.
I have the same situation... just came from a Z3. Got my edge+ a week ago and, tbh, batt life is way worse, but I am starting to think that I have a faulty cellphone. I am getting around 10h of batt, even after debloating it and using Pixel OFF.
otoh, there are lots of threads running right now, discussing batt life and most people say that it is pretty good.
It's been 5 nights and I complsin it drains 1% per hour.

Edit: sorry, wrong math. I am getting 10% an hour. I am getting 10h of batt per day on avg 1% an hour would be wonderland for me.
Hold on, I am talking about overnight drain, when phone is idle for 6 hours, screen off, only side clock, 4g wifi location sync on

Hmm so you basically only get a day's use of the phone on average?
It depends how I use it...
Can't tell as my usage is not regular
For sure not 10% per hour with a normal use
But I'm 90% debloated
i find it good, im not yet rooted but after i am whenever i can manage to actually do it i estimate it will be even better, but in general it's all about your usage, you'll definitely get a day out of medium/heavy usage.
do yourself a favor and buy a Aukey plus, ultra fast charging.

I also had Z3 and lasting morning to evening looks pretty much the same, on both i was getting around 5-6h SOT. But considering 2 days Z3 will also give around 5h+ SOT, but Edge+ idk maybe around 3-4h because of how much standby drains the battery.

I think the biggest idle killer is the mobile radio bug in lollipop, as there is no KK for the S6 Edge plus, looks like im going to stick with the Z3 for now till Marshmellow comes out.
I have more than 5 hours sot and almost 2 days without charging and 19% left. I''m very satisfied. Stock and root is pretty the same.
WhatsApp, candy crush, Internet, YouTube and more of that stuff. Imo no need to worry about battery.
2 days for me too. Wifi on all the time, Screen contrast automatic, Bluetouth off all the time (I don't use it for the moment), Some settings here and there I found in various articles (like smart network off, I use the RAM tools to automatically shot-down most of the apps...)
One day
One day ( 16 hours , By night battery down to 10 %)with normal usage. SOT around 5 hours.
BT off all time. 4g around 7 hours , Rest on Wifi.

Wow really? im shocked i havent read that was possible in any reviews i've seen. Could you provide screenshots of your battery stats? If two days is realistic and easy to achieve then i may possible jump to the Edge plus boat.
Mine wont even last 6 hours without draining. Bluetooth on, 4G on, backlight on auto. What's the point in having a high tech phone if you stunt it's features? I just charge at least twice or thrice a day but admittedly, I do miss the battery life of my last phone (iphone 6 plus) coz it really could last a whole day with the same features on.

the original charger isnt anywhere near as fast as charging as the Aukey is, even thge usb cable that came with the Aukey is better than the one that came with the phone.
I dont think i will ever see 2 days. I use Bluetooth all day (synced to my Gear S), GPS is always on, autobrightness, etc. I can get through one day for sure, maybe half of the next day, but thats about it. Thats not using any kind of powersaving modes either. Its as good, or better than my note 4 with NONE of the damn problems (camera and HORRIBLE GPS), so i'll take it. Plus i have quick chargers everywhere...home, car, and an extra one.
I was very nervous switching to a sealed battery and no SD card support, but the 64gb is fine and the battery charges SUPER f'in quick

Battery life

I did buy one..... waiting but I hope the battery life is going to be excellent.
The size of the battery is not huge and even though they say excellent battery life Google does not give you stats.
Screen on "50%" how long....
Can you wake up 6am set the phone in charger at midnight and still have battery?
Me I typically play a game, use my language learning programs a few hours a day.
Check maybe 20 emails, and 20 text messages.
Location services and bluetooth are always on. (need them for Play services and Android Wear)
And I believe and I hope the device proves me wrong but if I know it will be a long time between charges I will need to modify usage.
Is the type of usage I go through unreasonable ?
Yet all they say is you can get 7 hours of usage (what type of usage?) in 15 minutes.
So you are in the airports all day the battery is at 20% and you need to have the charger with you and find an outlet.
1) do not always have the charger handy
2) can not always find A/C
Does anybody really expect better battery life than with other phones ?
I am wrong Google did post some stats
3,450 mAh battery
Standby time (LTE): up to 23 days
Talk time (3g/WCDMA): up to 32 hours
Internet use time (Wi-Fi): up to 14 hours
Internet use time (LTE): up to 14 hours
Video playback: up to 14 hours
Audio playback (via headset): up to 130 hours
I should have no problem going through a long day moderate usage if this is correct.

They stated similar stats when they released the 6P (the shop page was deleted so I can't paste them) and I got one....
Best screen-on-time I can get is 5 hours (with custom rom, custom kernel and a lot of system tweaks).
Don't rely on those stats, they were (in the best case) made under ideal conditions (probably in a lab) or (and that's rather the case) just calculated and without promise....
I am somewhat underwhelmed with the 6P battery life, but I'm stock as I can't root per company policies.
Hoping the Pixel XL will be better. Or at least same... If it is worse, then it will be going back in the 14 day return window.

Potentially we're looking at better stats.
Same size battery in a smaller body with a smaller screen and Supposed CPU optimisations, could explain the underclock.
My 6p makes it through the day without a charge, but I'm never far from an outlet, car charger or power bank just in case. Now that I've USB C proofed my home and office the rapid charging serves its purpose.
We've all seen the garbage spouted about days of battery life before and usage varies so much per user it's hard to compare. As they say the proof is in the pudding so we'll soon see, the price definitely isn't going up so why not wait and see?

Why not rely on Google's internal battery life tests?
They did the same for the 6P, so they can be compared.
All that matters in the end is how it really works for you, also stats are always overly optimistic. You buy a car an the dealer says the car is rated 5 litres per 100 km and every time the best your car does is 7 litres per 100km
What I had to do in the past is when I know I will be travelling without easy access to a charger is ration battery usage.
The stats though are encouraging hopefully and only time will tell is my next device I will not have to ration too much.
I really miss removable batteries remember the carefree way I used devices in the past with huge Zerolemon batteries. They will like sell a case for the Pixel XL but a case that adds battery capacity is not as elegant as just using a bigger battery.
The reviews on the battery life seem pretty terrible so far and is really worrying me as it was my only concern. I have been rocking a Hauwei Mate 8 recently, which I consistently get around 7 hr SOT. Reviews for Pixel XL are coming out at 3.5-4 hr, which is not good for how big it is. It has only a slightly smaller battery than the S7 Edge, but the Edge performs much better, I was getting 5-5 .5 hr SOT with my Edge before switching to Mate 8. Google Assistant always being present and doing stuff may be a pretty severe drain. Just as someone else mentioned, nice that we have a 15 day return window.

3-4 hours SOT sucks. Im getting 6 hours on 6p and 5 on Nexus 6
SOT is dependent on multiple factors, like what apps are running in background and what you do on the phone. Web browsing habits of sites visited, some sites have a lot going on.

Where are you seeing these 3.5-4 hr SOT reviews??
Many of the reviews that came out yesterday gave the Pixel highly positive ratings on battery. MKBHD said he got 6hrs SOT on full brightness, Dieter at the Verge said it might be the best battery life of any phone he'd ever used. Wired and a couple others also noted it as a high point. But then Mossberg said the smaller Pixel got so-so battery, and I think one of the Android Authority guys also called it average.
So... it sounds like basically any other Android phone. Varies highly for different people.

Pretty sure the AA review, he was getting 3.5-4 hours for battery life and called it good/above average, which is not. I remember his specifically because that is where I got the idea that google assistant could be having a large impact if used heavily, which he said he was using heavily. I don't remember MKBHD saying 6 hours but I would have to go rewatch. I know I saw at least 2 reviews that said 3.5-4 ish and they both called it good. Which makes me worry that all the other reviews that called it good without giving specific numbers were under this same impression. I watched a crap ton of reviews, many didn't give specific stats. They must be comparing it to htc10, lg g5 and iphone to consider that good, leaving samsung as the only outstanding if they are considering that anywhere near good.
Turned my phone on right out of the box around 12pm and started using it and I hit over 3 hours of sot

I wouldn't put too much stock in the first charge out of the box but that is still not a good indication. No bueno. Guess I have two weeks to try it out.
I'm at 90% right now with 56 min screen on time. Just reading the news/web browsing. On wifi.
I'm happy.

That's what I have been wanting to hear! Would you be willing to post some screen shots of your battery life, etc before you plug her in tonight. How heavily have you been using the new assistant? have you done anything to customize your settings like turn off always listening or anything like that, adaptive screen brightness, etc?

I got mine yesterday at 5pm, Used it straight, setting it up with everything turned on and screen @ %100 (setup, music, movies, games) and it died after 5.5 hours. It was also on 86% charge when i got it.

Right now, no tweaks everything turned on (assistant, always listening, Bluetooth, wifi).
Mostly web browsing. 15 minutes or so of Clash Royale. On wifi most of the day. Auto brightness.
Looks like about 6h SOT if I took it to empty.
