How has everyones battery lasted for them so far? - Moto G4 Questions & Answers

When playing games like fallout shelter and such for a few hours and some calls and messages, it is lasting me the entire day.
So I tried recently without playing any games and just using it for browsing the web, phone/texting stuff and I am on day 3 with 20% battery.
Very happy with the battery life of this phone.

Amazing! The battery life is flat amazing... And getting better... I've noticed that after 5 charges it got at least 10% better...

Very satisfied

In the beginning I was disappointed, but it seems to have settled in and gotten better.

It lasts longer than my Nexus 6P, which I expected. I get about 24 hours with decent usage (some video streaming, but mostly listening to podcasts), compared to 12 hours on my 6P.

Mines lasted 12 hours to 10% with 5 hours screen on. It's on a par with my Sony which had the best battery life I've had in a smart phone so far

I think it's pretty poor, having come from a Honor 4x.
I liked the way on my Honor that it killed and kept down battery intensive apps.
Is there a non-root equivalent of this for the Moto?

My battery life is great satisified

Battery life is great I only use the moto when I leave the house otherwise I'm on tablet or laptop or PC or most likely on all 3 lol but the moto been lasting a solid 6 days with about a 1:45 of screen on time.

My battery has been amazing. Got 1day and over 4hrs screen on time
Tmobile Note4...Marshmallowed

3-4 SoT, not bad considering that my previous phone only ever managed to get 2 hours SoT.

I'm totally happy with the battery life. I put it on the turbo-power charger at bedtime, usually with more than half a charge left, after using all day. It's the best battery life I've had in a smart phone.

I'm getting excellent battery life!!
I would post pics but as a new member I cant until the 10 post limit.
I charged at 11pm on July 29th, and lasted me until next charge today at 10am August 1st.
Thats 59 hours!!
However I didnt use it much, screen time on was 3hr37mins and about 3 hours of listening to podcasts with the screen off.
And I'm really liking the turbo charging, from about 5% battery to full in 90mins.

The G4's battery life has been great for me so far! I upgraded from a Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 after parts of the screen stopped responding to touch and Vodafone refused to fix it. I was unsure the G4 could beat the immense battery life on that thing, but I'm pleasantly surprised! I can get through a full day with some YouTube, games, and a lot of reading.

I don't game and mostly use the phone for light browsing, texting, and calls. I'm very happy with the battery life so far.

My battery has been amazing. 2days 5hrs screen time.
Moto G (4)

Yeah, about that, I definitely think there is something wrong with my unit. About to get rid of it and go back to my Moto X Pure Edition... [emoji25] [emoji26] [emoji27]

My battery lasts all day poor at charging tho

I'm taking mine back, this past weekend was a nightmare. The phone would not charge no matter if I used the supplied turbo charger, samsung adaptive fast charger, regular charger etc. It would only charge up to maybe 25% and then say it had 8 hours to full charge. It even completely drained my QC 2.0 10,000mah battery pack and never got above 25%. Even with the screen off and nothing running it was getting hot. I'm guessing I just got a bad one, luckily T-Mobile is sending a loaner S7E to use until I can get a replacement Note 7 so I can take this back to Best Buy. Shame because this would have been a great backup phone to use.

wow.. good for u.. my nexus one only last for about 15 hours.. btw, i'm using the medroidmod ics 1.4.0..
That's good. Might be a glitch though if your battery is not calibrated. I had an issue when my N1 was showing over 20% and then shut off. When I turned it back on, it showed 0% and turned itself off. Try to discharge it all the way and see it if will shut off before it hits 0%. I would do it as a precautionary measure just to make sure that your phone doesn't die unexpectedly when you need it most.
nice battery life mate
I have calibrated battery and it lasts around 12 hours with fairly good usage.
But my mobile shuts down when battery at 15 %.
Do I need to calibrate it again?

This will not help. I have calibratet again and again. I'm using the medroidmod ics 1.4.0.
My phone shuts down on 15%.
what are you guys using to calibrate for your battery? Mine used to turn off around 20-25% remaining but after I reset the battery stats its been more accurate. I get nowhere near the same amount of battery life that the OP has but I also am in a bad reception area.
I'm on the MeDroid HWA Mod and I cannot believe thatmy battery lasts for about two days now.
Do you really recalibrate or do you use the function out of your recovery, which function is busted meanwhile?!

Would like to find out about this battery calibration as well. Battery life on my N1 hasn't aged well, and I wonder if the batt's showin its age or something.
Mine isn't that good
I'm on latest MedroidMod but my battery drops fast with screen on and wifi but data off. It's like 20% each 25mins. But ICS is so sweet and cool that I don't wanna go back to the buttersmooth GB.
P/s: Which home launcher are you using/do you recommend to run on ICS?
My battery life seems to have improved slightly as well. I guess the complete redesign Google did, has done some good
wow its amazing
I'm running medroidmod remix and I'm happy when I make the day with one charge.
When my screen is on you can almost see my battery discharge.
With texice i had a huge drain (10% per hour), with medroid it was a little bit better but not nearly as good as with cm7.2RC1 now.
I've also finally updated radio to 5.08 yet.
58% at 12 hr's moderate usage on dk's rom (u5).

10.5 hours off power and at 63% on dk's ICS ROM. Screen time on is just over 1 hour.

Normally Ive never had a problem with the battery, ive lasted about a day and a half on moderate use, but with the latest version of BCM U5, when my phone goes idle for a while it starts to drop significantly, i'm not sure why its staying on other than I might have gotten a notification and it decided to stay awake
DK ICS latest update has a really awesome battery life, as well as a very good performance. recommended ROM 100% =)

[Q] sharp aquos battery

I bought the sharp aquos crystal and really like this, however the battery life is not very good. Are there any tips to increase battery life,
went through all the usual steps
Yeah I've had horrible stand by times and because of that my battery screen on time (sot) has been usually 2.5-3.5 hours. Many people claim 5-6 hours sot. Android system is eating a lot of battery up. Any help would be appreciated.
Greenify from the Play Store helps a lot with battery life; however, without root it will only hibernate user apps. But that's usually enough to keep FB, Twitter, Skype, etc, from running in the background constantly...
Screen on time: that depends on how bright you have your screen, but in about 45% setting and about 4 hours SOT, the wife is getting well over 24 hours on a charge. Your mileage may vary...
H,
I don t know if it can help, but my battery life is great, but , if I plug my phone on my PC and the PC is down (automatic sleep for example), the battery is very very bad...
If having battery problems try Snapdragon Guru from the playstore. It is made to help battery saving on snapdragon processors. Enjoy
Well...

I had the same issue had screen times of between 2-3 hours. What I had to do to get to 4-5 hours screen time was disable "stay on" the qualcomm location extra, and motion turn on and off of the display. There is definitely wake up issues with this phone so just make sure to kill processes that use location especially google apps like maps after using them. I also downloaded juice defender to help manage the data because I live in not the best coverage area and that eats up battery too. Try those settings restart the phone and see if it helps you.
I think the battery life on this phone is ridiculously good. I get 5-6 hours SOT with LTE on. Location on Battery saving. I use no battery "savers" because they don't work. For a comparison my nexus 4 can only muster 3-4 hours SOT on a good day. Not sure what you people are doing with your phones.
You are crazy if you are complaining about battery life. Unless you have a faulty device I don't think there are many 5" screen phones out there that can deliver such great performance.
Still at 24% with modarate use, can easily get 2 days out of it.
My battery consumption is just like that. It's very good!
However, I do use "Lux" from the market , to control screen brightness and tones, depending on time of day.
Far better than Android's built-in light control

I'm getting pretty good life. Greenify was the 1st app I put on here though lol
Sent from my 306SH using XDA Free mobile app
Without any battery app with stock laucher, i get 4-5+ SOT.
When I first get it, only get 2-3 SOT. But It start to be longer once it "settle in".
My battery life got progressivly worse as time went on. Sharp will change it for you if you send it in after printing the shipping labels and info for it (meaning they have to say, "Yes, the battery needs replacing). I don't have time for that! Also, my little square that indicates if phone has been water damaged was touched by my own moist little finger so, they'll say warranty is void. I did find a replacement battery. Anyone have any tips or pointers on replacing it? I've never owned a phone with an internal battery that couldn't be removed and i don't want to mess it up.
Mine has the flashing red LED stating the internal battery isn't being charged. The damn thing isn't even a month old.... It's so much BS. SCREW AQUOS. Asshats...

Coming from Sony z2 and im bit dissapointed about the S7E Battery Life

Hello,
First i have to say i really like that Phone looks and feels very nice, changed a bit the ui and rly like it actually but...
The Battery Performance is very poor between a z2 and a S7e,
sure i know better screen bigger/faster cooler but when i see my old z2 can handle 2 (40 to 50 hours) days without charging and i get 400mah bigger battery in a s7e and only get around 20-24h from it thats very poor.
I hope they get something like the Stamina mode from Sony which is learning what you do on your phone to safe more battery, actually the Power saving mode gives me 1 more hour...
this phone is 2 years old now and perform so much better in battery stats thats just unbelievable.

That's why I always carry a 10000mah portable battery charger. No bigger then the phone do it's not a big issue to put in my pocket. I went 14 hours 27 minutes yesterday and that was down to 11%. I'm also a very heavy user tho. I stream, Facebook, text, kik, internet, watch movies, etc constantly. So to me that's actually not a bad battery. Came from the s5 and I was only getting 9 hours max on that. So this is fantastic battery life to me.

i never need to carry something extra on my z2 and i would say im a "normal" user fb a bit emails whats app etc i dont play on smartphones nothing. and compared to my old z2 when i go to bed i had around 40-60% battery left actually i have around 10-20% left on the s7e... i think something is wrong with the battery/software or something.
Battery life seems okay to me. Idle overnight for 7.5 hours is only 1% drain...
I do believe than an update from Samsung will improve the battery on the Snapdragon 820 edition. It's impossible for such discrepancy between Snapdraon and Exynos. On the other hand, it may be that Qualcomm is just behind with their efficiency and people are just not believing it yet.
I get 7-8 hours SOT.
I got 30hrs runtime and 11hrs SOT and am now on track to get almost 3 days runtime and 9hrs SOT. I'm not disappointed. Screenshots are in the post your battery life thread. I'm on my z2 tablet now so I can't post them. SD820 on Verizon BTW.
Something is obviously draining your battery. I really don't see why anyone complains about battery life of any phone the first week they have the phone. Most people never put the phone down. I got my S7 Edge the first day people got them with T-Mobile so I think two weeks now. I'm a power user and killed the battery once at like 8pm after taking it off the charger at 7am. I had the Sony z1 and returned it since battery life sucked.
I can't post my Gsam stats on the mobile xda app, but I am at 42% battery life left with 5 hours and 11 minutes of active time over the course of 9 Hours. Very heavy usage those 5 Hours btw. GearVR for 20-25 mins, YouTube for an hour and Spotify both to and from my work. With the occasional Web browsing.
Damn good for me.
I want to point out I disabled the majority of the bloatware with package disabler though.
I've moved from an Xperia Z3 and i find the battery life to be much, much better. No complaints here.
Ok this morning i get a popup about some apps moved into power saving mode now.
atm im coming home and get 70% batter left, WOW!
so far it says around 40h lifetime of the battery i think you are right guys i should give the phone a bit more time....
btw im on the european version of the s7e i think thats the exynos version right?

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Sony Xperia XZ1 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Repeatedly getting 6hrs.
Unbelievably good battery life if 2700 mha is taken into account. I'm a very heavy user for business purposes and this is the first phone in a very long time that I don't need to charge the phone during the day. I can't imagine how it would be if it was 3000 mha.
At least 2 hours of phone talk, 2-3 hours of web browsing, 3 mail accounts on imap, wifi-data on, gps off and no facebook or whatnot. It's 7 hours screen on time at night here still with 30% of juice.
For my use this telephone has exceeded my expectations, I've done over 3 days of use and had still 17% of battery left. Compared to the XZ I had before which lasted up to 2 days with 7% of battery left, this in comparison is a monster!!
I have ~5 ½ hours screen in time, with 1 ½ day of battery life time.
Would love more input in this regard
Average 6-7 hours of SOT. Coming from a XZ, XZ1 definitively has better battery life.
6 hours with heavy usage and about 30 hours standby
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
i like to charge when the battery is going below 50%, but usually a 2.5-3 hours SOT is reached by that time, plus when left uncharged through the night, the idle consumption is quite good too that in the morning the battery lost just about 1-2%. Sure there might be some app that disturbs the phone SoT, but the system itself is pretty lean in managing the battery. You should take care of what apps do you use from time to time (as in all other Android phone actually)
For the first few days was getting around 6hr battery life with light usage. But ever since the second week, I've been getting the dreaded "Phone Idle" battery drain and now struggle to get 3hr SOT.
hi all...
I m rooted and with a little debloating (without any app like greenify etc) im getting 6-7 hours (for a month+)
mid-hard usage.
I've installed AccuBattery app that shows statics as follow:
.
SOT = 10+ hrs
Stand by = 60+ hrs
Mixed use (as per my usage) = 28+ hrs
.
I rarely is cellular data, and use WiFi network 4 to 5 hours. I'm happy with battery performance of this phone.
Previously I had Xperia XP which has 6~8 hours SOT. It was hard to achieve full day battery life. So I minimized usage of my phone to stay my phone battery alive for the day.
Now I feel relax myself with this battery performance.
I just bought mine for 3 days.
Today's ost was only 3 hours with 17% left.
Should I return it?

It's not a faulty phone. It depends on app installed, usage, etc. There are many factors.
Debloat/freeze unnecessary apps, remove live wallpaper. Some apps (like Facebook app) keeps refreshing a lot and use more battery, for example.

4 before i installed up to date. 5 hrs-6 on average after i updated. There were times when it impressed me and i'd get 7-8 somehow. But 5 is a good average of what i get.
Using pie debloated, getting 8hrs aprox of SOT, before in oreo 6-7hrs sot
For me Oreo 7:30-8:00 hours 100%-15%
Pie 6-7 hours 100%-15%
Without gaming screen on time always wifi on
Since I've updated my xz1 to android p i can get no more than 3 hours of screen, can anyone help me?

Light use endurance

Once in a while, when your significant other yells at you, you might use your phone a bit less. Rate this thread to express how the 's battery performs under light use. A higher rating indicates that the device goes a long time when you're using the phone sparingly: no gaming or video/audio streaming, light web browsing, some calling and texts, etc.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Extremely good battery for light use.
When I got the phone it was 57% charged, I downloaded all of my apps and was setting up the phone, didn't charge it overnight and I woke up and it was on 20% after 12 hours off charger. Screen on time was over 4 hours so battery seems very good on WiFi plus I wouldn't normally be downloading that much data so looking good.
Light use for a 12 hour work day for me. Checking email/Facebook every 30min-1hr for a short duration, like 1-3 min. Battery drained from 100% to 90%. Pretty amazing.
Brilliant light use.
Sot max use - brilliant too
grabbed this the other day

I've got two full days and it lasted until just after the middle of the day on the third day. The quick charger is insane btw.
On average I'm getting two days with spare and that's with me using it as a phone with Web browsing, YouTube and the odd photohere and there.
I take my phone off charge at 6.30ish.
Yeah, with normal use and some gaming and getting two days out of it normally.
There are a lot of threads that discuss the issues with the phone (I've experienced none of them, luckily I think?), but not enough threads praising it. I can't understand people selling the phones, apart from the green screen issue I guess.
Heavy use here
Always on LTE, BT on using Android Wear. I stream Spotify for 7-8hrs constant a day. Constantly on screen viewing XDA, fb, IG etc for 5-hours straight
~40hours average. 10h +SOT avg. Longest is 11
Crazy battery!
On day 7 so far and this battery seems to be getting better and better! I came from the Mate 10 Pro, which had the best battery life I had encountered by far, but this takes it up another level!
This image is from 15 minutes ago, it's not heavy use but average, 1 hour of screen on time with 20 minutes of voice calls, I took my phone off charge at 6 am. My display is set to WQHD+.
I'm impressed with this phone, I'm glad I upgraded!
Battery great. Useful with Wear OS and BT music listening. I'm coming from the LG V30 and I considered it acceptable. The Mate 20pro has taken it up a notch. 6hr SOT time readily achievable.
Hey,
Loving the battery.... Awesomeness
It just seems to be getting better each day, this is from yesterday evening just before I completed a 3-hour skype call via Bluetooth, which only took off about 15% off the battery. I went to bed at 11 pm ish with still 18% of battery and around 7hours of screen time on.
Amazing battery!

What settings are you using to get 10h SOT? I usually get around 6. Do you keep brightness on manual and keep it quite low? Mostly indoor / darker room use?
The battery has been getting better, on my lightest day I woke up with 100% at 7am and at 10pm I still had 73% before bed. Overnight drain is still bad though woke up with 60%.
There was only one day of heavy use where I had to switch on ultra power save mode as 10% before getting home. But it was 7am to 1am and I was at a gig with bad signal and using 4k recording for about 30 mins
3 Days
Well I've been happy with it so far and I know EMUI 9.1 will improve it even more due to its new file system
Well, I woke up at 10am, and then restored around 20 gigabytes worth of data from my old phone, played Hustle Castle for a while, and listened to some music. It is now 2:47pm and I'm at 98%. This phone lasts so long it makes me angry at the other phone manufacturers lol
