24+ Hour Battery

when DC v2.08.1 came out i downloaded it just like all the other DC ROMS prior. At first i noticed some improvements in battery and performance, but after a few days of using it i decided to check what has been using the battery in settings.. this is what i came across

crazy thing is i hadn't used the camera that day... i monitored it for the next few days and still no matter what i do on the phone throughout the day, it always shows these same stats.. the great thing about all this is my battery would last past 24 hours no matter what i did on the phone..
i ended up flashing DC v2.09.1 (cause im a flashaholic) and couldn't get the same results.. well i decided to nandroid back to 2.08.1 but i lost the battery performance i was getting before... when i checked whats been using the battery, it would show normal things that i've used and cell standby and phone idle would be back to about 40% each... so i decided to wipe and reflash DC v2.08.1.. low and behold, after about 3 days, its back to 96% camera, 2% cell standby, and 2% phone idle.
my question is does anyone know how, or why this is happening?? im loving how long my battery last and the speed of my phone because of this.. i just wanna make sure it stays like this.. or maybe how to make this happen on other ROMs cause im sure im gonna flash another one again soon...
(oh and by the way, im not missing any phone calls, text messages, or emails.. everything is working perfectly)

It happened to me a few times while on dc, rebooting would set it back to normal.
I read around here somewhere that ir wasit was a sense bug..i forget where...
I don't have any useful information sadly.

rebooting doesnt change anything for me (which is a good thing)..

Now that you mention it, I had the same experience, yet didn't realize it at the time, being new to rooting/roms/etc...i have lately been using stock 2.1 rooted without updating..and really noticed the difference in battery life. Got me thinkin' now.

[Q] Strange Battery Level Reporting

So, I am posting this for a friend, mostly because I have the same phone, and want to fix it if it happens to me.
My friend just got a brand new customized Moto X, and says he loves it. However, his phone seems to be completely unable to read the charge level of the battery. Here are a couple screenshots of the battery graph. Notice the phone is never plugged in during the time periods show.

I think he is going to try a full discharge and recharge, but that is pretty rough on the battery, and I don't want him to damage it. Is this a software bug? Or did he just get a defective unit?
Thanks!
EDIT: So, he actually WAS charging on one of those screenshots, but the graph didn't register it... Still weird...

I've never seen a graph like that honestly. But he does have serious held awake issues. Could be related.
Tell him to get Gsam from play store. Much more in depth statistics.

Hes had the phone about 24 hours. I think the held awake part is simply novelty... "okay google now"
But yeah, i'm stumped!

Google now won't keep it awake like that.
Gsam may tell you. Can't recall its unrooted capabilities ...but more than the stock battery stat screen either way.

Battery Life and Heat Issues

Got my Droid Turbo 3 days ago coming from an LG G2 and I really like it but the battery life is terrible with minimal usage and I can't even get phone to last for a day. It drops 5‰ per hour even if the screen is off and phone is in my pocket. When I do occasionally use the phone to check emails and browse the web on chrome, the entire phone gets very warm. So warm that its uncomfortable to hold it. During this time the battery really sarts to die. I am running unrooted factory KK 4.4.4 so does anyone think the problem will go away if I root it with one of the stripped down images? Or do I have a broken phone?
Fyi, the only apps that I've installed aside from preloaded apps are adobe, Microsoft outlook, greenify, waze, and a realcalc. Waze is never on unless in the car and plugged in. My G2 with all these apps and more and with double the usage lasted much much longer.
Please advise

Welcome! A couple things to keep in mind man: it can take a good week before battery life stabilizes on a new device. Waze has always been a ***** on battery in my experience. I personally disabled every sing app I don't use, which was quite a few of the pre installed. I keep my location set to battery saving mode unless using nav. I'm also one of the ones whose battery life got awesome after the 5.1 update. With all that said, I only lose 4% overnight, about 6-7 hours. Is your device not sleeping? Check the battery stats and see if something is keeping it awake. The stock one will give you general info but I use Gsam to keep a closer eye on things. Try removing Waze and see if that helps with the heat issue. Running GPS is the only time my phone even gets mildly warm.

No issues here. Got 8 hours screen on time just now

I am unrooted kit Kat. I usually see 1% drain per hour plus 10% per hour of screen on time. 24 hours after a full charge, with 4 hours screen on, I expect about to have used 24%+40%.

Maybe I just need to full reset. What about heat? Do these phones get hot during use?

I assume you've checked the pre-installed apps (Motorola and/or Verizon) and disabled any you don't need. I've found some of them eat the battery a bit (FYI I came from a LG G2 and am using a Moto Maxx).

Go to settings-apps-all. Disable the junk you don't use. Some of those apps are battery killers. I wouldn't go root till you figure out if you have a lemon.

Dying battery after 11 months, anyone else?

Not really troubleshooting, but a question.
How many of you have had your battery start to fail already?
My battery will go from 15-20% to dead, not even showing the quit animation any more. Charges waaay too fast to 30%.
I charge it every night, so I can't see how I've possibly spent the 500 cycles. And I don't even have the turbo charger that I thought would ruin battery life.
I work with phones, and I'm seeing a really disturbing trend with batteries, LiPo is a rubbish technology. Never seems to last more than a year these days.
I have ancient phones with Li-Ion that are still working at 70% capacity or more after five years.

I agree with you the LiPo technology seems outdated, and a change is needed to keep up with the hardware these days screens, CPU, all the sensors that have gotten more powerful over time. Have you tried to retain your battery at all? Run your phone till your battery is completely dead/won't even power the phone up at all. Then charge while the phone is off and untouched till 100% might help your battery life a bit

Same issue here. Started with the 5.1 update for me. Hits 15% and seems to die in 20 minutes or less

Charge your phone to 100%, put it in airplane mode and then leave it overnight. In the morning you'll know whether it's a rogue app or process or indeed a bad battery.

I have the same issue, I think is a bad battery, because when my moto x shuts down, I notice a big battery voltage drop.

Mine does same. Shuts off about 10-15% and won't boot back up.

I will try replacing my battery, and if it solves the problem and post the result here.
For me is bad don't know when my device is charged or not. I have attached an example of the strange behavior when my MotoX is charging.

Battery life question

Since it takes ~40 minutes to get to 80% from 0%and that 80% lasts from morning until night. Does pulling the plug at 80% help the battery last longer in terms of months and years? Seems silly to wait another 40 minutes to get from 80% to 100% if 99% of the time it's not even needed. Any positives or negatives of my strategy?
Here is what I average with my normal daily usage.

Dude.. don't post your battery stats...you are just making people jealous :laugh:

Partial charges supposedly only count towards a fraction of a "charge cycle", so I think (as long as you believe this sort of stuff) that you're doing fine. Fast charging , aside from fast-charging that increases heat significantly in a battery, doesn't hurt li-ion batteries either.
That's the version of battery lore I've heard. I suspect it's something like "the fish aren't biting today because .... the clouds are too low, no, the sun is too high .. no .."".

Is anyone know what is Uninstalled meant? It used 6% of my +3T battery.??

It means you had an app installed. Was using it. It used battery and then Uninstalled it. So now it's showing that because you no longer have the app on your device

I've also heard that draining the battery down to 0% or close to it causes harm to the battery. I haven't read any actual tests to prove it, but, it sounds reasonable.

I don't know if it causes harm, but I've had a few phones where I let batteries discharge all the way, and they did not want to start charging again. It's as if they needed some tiny bit of charge in order for the little logic that exists on phone batteries to function. (I'm not sure that's true for all batteries, but it is for some).
