Poll on Battery Drain - Mini

Hi All,
Just a small poll to check out how long u battery lives for a single charge with medium usage and internet enabled.
Please choose the one among them!
Thank you !

Results will be meaningless since medium usage isn't specified.
Medium usage for one will be different than for someone else.

Make use of some battery drain usage tracker to get better results.
USe AutoKiller Memory Optimizer for saving juice. Also try under clocking your cell phone. (This does not need any ROM, can be done using apps like SetCPU)
Thank You

See mine...

That doesn't help.
What does help is to shut down modem chip and so on with 2xbattery.

Juice defender
Try the free one first it is amazing.

With my average use, battery's life is on 15/16 hours.
If I'm at home wifi is always on, otherwise mobile data is handled by Juice Defender Ultimate.
I use mebitek's rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475504 and SetCpu with this profile:
Default: 729/245 Ondemand
Screen Off: 320/245 Conservative
Battery <30%: 604/245 InteractiveX

Are you serious? I never had less than 8hours battery life even with almost hardcore usage! (movies/gaming/data)

Why not? Maybe your average use is different from mine.
I don't see movies and I play very little (I have only one game on my phone).

Agree on that but I can't imagine how you can waste the whole battery in less than 8-6 hours!
P.S.: Using CyanMobile Revo A @ 806 (smartass2) with data on most time and wi-fi when possible

I'm not interested to Cyan Revo A, I feel good with mebitek's rom.
As I said before, wifi is always on if I'm at home otherwise mobile data is handled by Juice Defender Ultimate.
Moreover, in my opinion, cpu frequency @806 is too high and useless. Battery gets too hot and obviously exhausted much sooner.

[Q] about to buy OB..need some answers pleaaaaaase :)

1- i heard alot about battery problem and drain so fast..so is it right or just normal like all rest of android phones (need some one use diff. phones) ??
2- is there any other general problems in this mobile ??
thank U in advance

1) battery problems isnt phone specific, if you decide to use it just as a phone some users have reported 6 days on a single charge with minimal internet/ screen on usage
2) only main problems with this phone (to me) is LG software support..... but thats really a non issue what with the wonderful roms our devs/chefs have for our device

large display will be always drain battery. there are no problems with the phone but sometimes are errors in the various roms

I'll say that it does drain quite fast, but I don't think it's because of the display, but rather the signal and CPU! Optimus Black's NOVA Display uses less battery than normal LCDs.
Here's the battery usage for 2d 13hours:

I had a Motorola Defy and the battery was soo good, I loved it...!
However I agree that optimizing your use by few tricks will help to keep the battery good.
You can use Profile Scheduler for example. It can control brightness, Wi-fi, apps, ringtone, signal, etc at different schedules! Quite handy at night (I use airplane mode, and not even 1% lost for 8 hours!)

Battery does drain fast, so I took it to the service centre and they repalced the battery.
Did make a differecence.

1.the battery on my OB with froyo was even better than on the iphone 4s with the exactly the same usage, now that i'm on GB things are not that worse after all, with Zeus rom i have 10-12 hours of intense usage, 3g always on, fb messenger, whatsapp, some browsing, market etc,mails, sincro on...i think i's not that bad, I know that iphone 4s has almost the same drain...
2. as for the rest I really had no problems with it! and with Huexxx's rom it's a jewel, really nice aesthetically and functionally...

OB is a very good device.. but you can find much better..

Finally, this is what the Nexus 4 should be doing.

This is how it should of been without custom anything. Seriously.

In case anyone wants to know. AOKP m1. Franco's kernel. Undervolted by 25 mV. No underclock. Any tips to push it further?
(Note, this also included about 15 to 20 minutes of Miracast.

you should be able to under-volt by more then 25.
give 100 a try

i get that and more daily just clocked 1 day 22 hours ... then phone died from lack of juice

Is that safe for the circuits?

This is the battery life I achieve on my N4 with PAC rom and franco, and im pretty satisfied with 4h screen on time and decent standby drain

UV 150mv on stock clocks, auto brighness indoors (so screen on low setting), wifi.. I get 6-7 hours over a day and half by mostly browsing and light gaming (escape room games etc)
edit.. i do put my phone in airplane mode when i sleep

I get around 16-18 hours standby and 5 hours sot on average. Stock kernel, under volted by 112.5 MV, 15% brightness and using the battery guru app with location turned on

Undervolting is something I'm weary of. I've read about the whole speeding up, slowing down, and how it can negatively effect the circuits. :[

I need to say that I got almost the same results on stock rom only 1 hour difference but it was on 3% not 1% so i guess if i waited i would get to 14 hours

Without underclocking or anything I got over 6 hours screen on time with around 22/23 hours on battery

Question about battery performance from a prospective buyer

I have my finger hovered over the "Buy" button in Moto Maker but im a tad concerened about battery life. Most reviews say its OK but have also heard slightly worse. Im a relatively heavy user listening to podcasts via bluetooth incar and also the normal social network stuff along with connection to a Moto 360. I do however have easy access to an in car charger throughout the day should the phone need charging. Im just slightly concerned for when I have days out with no access to a charger.
How are Moto X owners on here finding battery life?

Hi man. I'm not a heavy user and I can do the whole day.
As you say, the heavy users are not very happy with the battery life and there is not yet clear if with Lollipop is better or not. What I have read almost in every post about this, is that people is suggesting to have the turbo charger with you all the time if you are a heavy user....
Anyways, I'm not a heavy user and I think is OK, but yep...is not fantastic.

There are way too many of these threads. The battery is NOT bad. If u manage ur device well there wont be any issues with battery. Also everyone will have different results based on how the phone is used.

I'm not as heavy a user as you are; the main things I do on my phone is surf G+, browse the internet (using Chrome), use Reddit News, use bluetooth to connect to my car and stream music (probably about 2-3 hours a day), and of course text (using Google's Messenger app and GroupMe). I also have Location services on High Accuracy, but use WiFi mostly. Typically, I get 4-5 hours of screen time. The best I've seen was a little over 6 hours of screen time over a ~14 hour time period.
Coming from a Nexus 5, I think the battery life is awesome (I got 4 hours max. on a good day). If you do pull the trigger, get the Turbo Charger, too. With that, unless you go a really long time without seeing a power outlet, I don't think you should have any real concerns regarding battery life.

I really think the battery is fine here is a screen shot of my battery usage. I have exchange and two gmail accounts. This is with an hour flight listening to music on Moto Buds and 2.5 screen on time.

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.
