Excellent!! Do u think it will last 5 1/2 to 6 hours with 3g on throughout the day? I'll be running social media apps, heavy browsing all the day, maybe an hour of YouTube and occasional gaming.
I'd returned moto g turbo becuz it failed to go through the day with such usage. Do u think moto g4 will be a different case in terms of battery?

With WiFi on most of the time and with normal useage I got close to 6 and half hours of SOT..So with 3g on throughout the day you should get atleat 4 and half to five hours of ..as 3g always takes out more battery life than WiFi.. (Even 10-15 min of continuous gaming will drain battery quite quickly.. If you are a gamer don't buy this device.. But for the price and the promise to get quick updates this phone is the best in the market..)

Kinda heavy use! Always on wifi, with an hour of gaming in it! I am satisfied with it by far.

Again normal use with no gaming, WiFi on throughout and poor cellular network signal...

I got a 5.5 hours SOT with fully connected to Wifi or 3G mobile data(Wifi if home else 3G). Additionally, I also had voice call worth an hour. I havn't tried with gaming. I am no gamer. But it lasts for close to 2 days with one charge.

Yeah..Stand by time is not very impressive but decent enough.. Yesterday I did use it constantly without much standby time and I am very happy with it.. Browsing (most of the time), Tweeting, 30 minutes video , 2 hrs of 3G use, even played piano tiles 2 for 10 odd min even though I am not a gamer at all.[emoji2]

Great!! Battery life just get's more and more impressive after every charge..(Latest result was after my 3rd charge)..The only problem is it gets quite a bit warm even after using cam for 5-10 mins..Hopefully Moto will fix the heating problem in the next few updates..Other than that for 15k price range..I think this device is the best in the market only for the promise of fast updates and stock android..

Try the network settings rest from backup and reset under setting . After turning off those wifi scanning options in location settings and wifi settings
It worked for me

Battery life on this phone?

I just got this phone, instantly updated to jellybean, still did a factory reset to help with little issues that happen sometimes on android updates ... and the battery life is terrible. Nothing at all like everyone is bragging about. I even made a lot of smart actions to try to help (i.e. put in airplane mode when I'm not using it, 4g off when wifi on, background data only when using phone, etc.).
I'm getting around 2h and 45 min of screen on time. And it still loses around 12-15% overnight with airplane mode on. No apps downloaded or settings synced from account.
Are there other things I could check?
Facebook freezing and FC constantly too.

I also found it took about 3 weeks for the battery to settle down and really give good long life on each charge. Now I'm super impressed with battery life of this gem of a phone...
Hmm ... I'm debating on sending it back. How was your battery life in the beginning?
No one experiencing huge facebook issues? Some other apps seem to take awhile to load.
Thanks.
I have the official jelly bean and I'm a rooted. So far today has been the best battery life that I've had even since flashing from ICS last week.

Seeing you had 2-3 hrs on screen time, its no wonder the battery is dying on you. At first I found the battery life ok, would get through the day, but as I used it more the battery seemed to settle and now get 2 days a charge...BUT as with everything concerning battery this is relative.
I don't sync pretty much anything. I don't sync gmail, facebook, etc...which i know do take up substantial battery life. One thing I've found with this phone from using CPU Spy (app), is that when it goes into deep sleep, it really uses no battery power...I mean NONE! The other day at work it was just sitting on my desk doing nothing for 3 hours and went from 90% at 9am to 90% at 12 noon.
Battery is great on this phone...

I've had this phone for about a month now and my battery life is incredible. Better than I ever expected. I'm getting 2 full work days out of a single charge. I can suggest an app that I'm convinced works very well for Motorola's as this is the second one I've had. 2x battery saver seems to work better than juice defender. Cutting off background data when the phone is idle will help out a lot and that app does that very well. Smartactions should also be kept to a minimum. My phone uses virtually no battery when it is idle. If you play around on the internet a lot then its gonna drain your battery. For mostly talking and texting, its great.
Same problem but it does get resloved
When I got my razr m it had the same battery problem, but with time it will start holding more of a charge. It takes roughly month, and now i'm getting two days easily with it.
Yep. The battery here is unbelievable. I used ~1gb data, about an hour of calls and a few games for bout 30 min or so. Oh and some music. About 1.5 hours to charge and 2 days battery. Best battery life I have seen since the Nokia 1700 with net ten. Really. Its that good.
And I mean straight out the box. I bought it on Thursday last week and charged it maybe 3 times.
Charged it on Tue at 830 or so till bout 10 central standard time. I got 35% right now. I'm TRYING to kill it before I go to bed. I'm not very optimistic. Outstanding battery. Shoot, unheard of. 4.1.1
Oh and PS. I ain't rooted it yet either.

To speed the settling in process.
Use the phone unit it dies. And then Charge it fully with no interruptions. Dont unplug and replug.
I had 4 of these going through my place now.
My girls, Mines and 2 from friends.
My girl's was settled in well when we received it already.
Mines took 1 week to settle in. My 2 friends took 1 weeks with that Calibration process and the other took 4 weeks of normal usage.
The phones battery is a monster !!!
2 hours worth of phone calls Screen is on time 3 hours, 16h wifi, I am at 40% and been off the charger for 17 hours.
The battery on this thing is great! One thing Motorola does better than any other manufacturer. I'm getting all weekend off a charge as my phone pretty much runs off wireless

The i is more efficient when using it acctionally by 5%
Heavy usage the M is by 3% better, at conserving battery but the i is faster on heavy usage on large application
I have to get the screen shots we got few weeks ago.
Also the i tends to suck more power on some apps due to the emulation. But is not slower in anyway.
They are marginally almost the same.
Its just where u need the Processing power to be.
Heavy need of processing power the i is very competitive on single 3D apps
Need 100% compatibility with the apps store use the M with its ARM CPU
1.5 ARM Dual core or 2.0 Hyper Thread Single Core
I'm getting AMAZING battery life on my RAZR M. I get through the entire work day (lots of voice calls, wifi usage, bluetooth, maybe 1.5 hrs of screen time total) and still have about 35% remaining before I go to bed (about 15 hrs of usage). I even try to kill the battery by watching videos at home, putting the screen brightness on 100%, still havent managed to kill the battery.
So far very impressed with this phone, especially compared with my old Galaxy SII on TMobile

I think you got a borked phone, ive had this phone for 3 days now, noticed the amazing battery life the first day, phone came with a 50% charge, didnt charge it all day, finished day 1 with 30% after heavy use, day 2 heavy use navigation, texting, games, ect, finished day again at 30%, now day three same heavy use as day 2, days almost over and im at 50%, think i got a good one well deserving of the trident case i bought for it.

Moto Z Play Battery life numbers

I don't personally have the Z Play but I just got it for my sister on my plan and its getting some really great battery life. it had 15% left but already had over 9 hours of SOT! granted she mostly watch's Youtube videos with checking Facebook every so often. what is everyone else getting?
First day of "normal" use, 3.5hrs of strava, zenwatch always connected
The battery life is absolutely insane. I'm so glad I got this little beast.
Yep, battery is great. Might even be better than the Moto X Play battery life.
13% CAN (depends on your settings, brightness etc) yield 2 hours SoT. Does with me
I'm officially impressed.

you have to enable System UI tunner, (press config shortcut on status bar for several seconds until theres a wrech besides it) or google it

Got the phone a few days ago with Verzion, forgot to get the details of the power usage, all I got is the graph.
I use this phone a lot while working to take calls, playing music on my radio with Pandora while driving, and GPS. Wifi enabled, auto brightness, and GPS high accuracy.
Any idea why anyone would need to buy the battery pack Moto Mod when the stock battery lasts this long?

Moto X 2nd gen user reporting. I get 2-3 hours of screen time on my X2 which needs to be charge after 22-24 hours sometimes lesser than that. I keep all the features on, every sensor on. What can I expect? 5 hours SOT and 35 hours recharge cycle? Or even more with everything turned on?

Battery life discussion

Definitely impressed so far. How about your experience?
I'd like to know wich rom offers better battery life, xiaomi.eu or official global.
I get 6-7h of SoT regularly. But then I use my phone heavily every single day, needing to recharge at 3pm, almost never allowing the phone to sleep/turn off the display.

Since I've used reading mode my screen on time is 5 hours, meanwhile at first my Sox was about 6.30 hours...
i got decent 6 hour screen on time in normal usage ( in performance and balance mode)
i always turn performance mode because i did notice some frame drop and lag
i just received redmi 4 prime view day ago
and it beat redmi note 4 battery life
Battery life is awesome! I'm coming from the iPhone 6s and I'm completely stunned by the battery life I get with this phone!

GSam works on your phone? MIUI keeps killing off mine, so the results are horribly inaccurate. Tried high priority, tried removing power saving from MIUI app settings, tried putting notification. Kept killing off the notification.
You should go to Settings and then Permissions and then Autostart and select the apps you want to be able to run in the background and autostart.
Pretty decent battery with the alternative rom from cofface.
img15.hostingpics.net/pics/421253Screenshot20161222000030.png
Around 4-5 hours SOT, 20% brightness mostly reddit, FB, manga, that's with wifi + dualsim btw.
can you tell me what is the pecertange of cell standby on your phone when you have 5-6 hours sot and what ROM do you use? thank you
Thunder ROM, no tweaks or settings changed, WiFi + dualsim, 4G if there's no WiFi
Between the huge battery and the very customizable "doze" alternative, this thing sips its juice like a little bird. Could go for a few days if need be. Stock everything.

Lol what? That's impossible.. That's probably on multiple charges or you left the screen of the phone on overnight without using it (which will only consume some %).

Battery life of Moto G5+.

Friends share what type of battery life you are experiencing ? How much SOT you are getting and how much time does it take to full charge the device ? Just wanted to check whether I'm getting the same or not.
Btw my device took around 1 hr 40 mins to charge from 14-100% with 4g data always On.
Will edit my post when I'll receive my device
Took 70 minutes to reach 100 from 30. Currently up for 23 hours. SOT is 5 hours. 26% still remaining. Wi-Fi on whole time.
Well here's my experience
Full day usage in one charge
SOT over 7 hours and still at 28%
Played some casual games, poor signal reception sometimes due to lack of 3G networks in my area
Using only one sim
Listened to music for some time
I'm pretty much satisfied with the battery plus turbo charger is pretty fast too
First cycle
Enviado desde mi Moto G (5) Plus mediante Tapatalk
I charged my device from 8-100% in 1hrs45mins.
My device was at 66% after 1 hr and it took 15-20mins to charge from 90-100%.
And I am getting 4½hrs of SOT
And night fall was 3%(data off).
My device 4G data was always on with hotspot enabled. Please let me know if that is the reason I am getting a bit poor battery life.

I have noticed that if you enable the hotspot you tend to drain your battery. With heavy usage i used to get 6hrs SOT but when hotspot enabled I used to get 4½hrs SOT.

Moto display is useless on LCD display as it consumes more battery. I got only 4 to 5 hours on screen on time with Moto display enabled. Once I disabled the Moto Display functionality, I am getting 6 to 7 hours of SOT. I am using dual sim and always on 4G mobile data. I will attach the screenshot tomorrow.:good:

You are correct that it consumes battery but with enabled I was getting a better battery.
With heavy usage and 4g enabled 5-6hrs SOT but enabling hotspot 4-4½ hrs battery life
My battery hangs at a %age for an hour of SOT & starts dropping . Using NON Turbo right now as heat was exceeding 40℃ .
Even with turbo it did so . . . . It is anyway problematic ???
6.5 to 7 hours of sot with wifi and night and LTE during the day. Fantastic battery life. My LG g5 was dead after 2 hours sot

I can go 2 days+ on one charge but then again I am not staring at my screen all day long. I do not watch movies or play games on a 5.5" screen. The bulk of my average use is texts and email, followed by GPS, Chrome, and a few other apps. Love this phone!!!! OH yea, I even make the occasional phone call on my cell phone!

Better to ask what usage they are doing with their device...
More than 8h on a row, meaning either watching movie / series or listening music screen on.
Which level of screen brigthness ?
Wifi, 4G, etc ...
And which running app ?

I browse a lot, chat a lot (whatsapp), some YouTube (short reviews), no series or movies, no streaming music or listening music while screen on
last post were almost solely on wifi, previous one mixed 4g wifi, and no I don't put screen time out to ridiculous minutes just to achieve sot. All this on my regular use. With similar usage, this is better than my previous s8+ exynos (6-7ish hours).
Disabled Google now as I don't plan to use it at all nor the assistant.
45-50% brightness on auto
Turn off location when I don't use it for navigation
Rarely use phone phone calls, only short minutes in whatsapp call
The battery is just that good for my usage.

1.2% seems too much for a keyboard.

No offense, it was just to share that our personnal usage are very different and affect drastically our battery and SoT.
for eg. only playing (Clash of Clan or Trials Frontiers) leads my SoT down to 3h45.
While doing other stuffs like you described allow me to reach nearly 6h SoT.
I also have a very bad 4G/LTE coverage and it affects a lot my results.
You are having very good result btw.

None taken bro. Indeed usage between each users will be different. Which is why I usually compare to my other devices I own or previously owned. My typical usage everyday comprised a lot of typing in chat apps with customers. Obviously I will get more screen on time than a person who plays game on their phones.
My previous phones sot, my typical usage: (i owned a lot of phones cuz I sell phones for a living lol)
My friends brag about their iPhone 7 plus and it's stellar battery life. But with my typical usage, I never get past one day mark without needing to top up.
S8+ was awesome, but in my typical usage of mixed Lte and wifi, it rarely goes past 7 hrs mark. On full wifi tho, I can reach 8-9 hrs of sot. This was all achieved after disabling a lot with package disabler.
Op3t: wifi 6.5 hrs, Lte 4-5 hrs huge difference between wifi and Lte
P10+: wifi 6.5 hrs, Lte 5hrs
Pixel xl: wifi 6.5hrs, Lte 5.5 hrs
HTC 10: wifi 6hrs, Lte 5.5-6 hrs
XZ premium on the other hand, my norm is 7-8 hours mixed Lte wifi, 8+ on wifi.
Typical day of streaming, texts, two email accounts and some browsing. Only thing missing is WiFi tether, as I was at home today. Much like other Sony devices I've had, battery life borders on outstanding.

Thank you mate :fingers-crossed:
Battery life is pretty good here. With bluetooth on (for the bluetooth headsets), youtube, browsing, some gaming, and talking on messenger/whatsapp, my SOT is between 6-7 hours. Compared to my old phone where 2 hours and half was awesome for it, this phone makes me more than happy with its battery,
Fantastic screen on time
I was getting about 7hs of SOT on the the first 3 or 4 days.. but now, the battery consumption is really high Im struggling to get 3..4hs.... Gonna try a hardreset.
