turn your wifi off then run another test and post those screenshots.
If you are experiencing bad idle drain, please go post in https://forums.motorola.com/posts/afdf80c0dc. I think actual Motorola employees monitor those forums and report issues to engineers.

Damn it all. I have the infamous, random, crazy battery drain that ICS has plagued android users with. After googling i've found no permanent solutions. I'm drawing anywhere between 500mah to 2100mah without doing anything. g'ah!
Did you turn off all notifications? Did you check to see if GPS and other battery-draining services are off? My battery seems fine, and I'm on my phone all day!

Shut your phone down and pull the battery for at least 10 seconds. Then put the battery back in a start it back up.

I know. thanks, but it didn't work for me. I tried numerous "fixes", but all are temporary fixes. Theres a bug in the ICS kernel that hasn't been fixed. I, after trying numerous methods, just left it alone for a while. Surprisingly it seems to have gone away on its own. Not sure if its something I did or not, but so far so good.

i'm using the mugen 5400mah extended battery.i've optimized my phone in terms of power usage and i've been quite pleased with it until i posted this. It a known bug in the ics kernel. No one knows where it stems from or how its permanently fixed, but its random. My phone, just sitting, started drawing 500mah to 2100mah out of no where. I only noticed when i looked at my phone just to check the time and saw my battery widget showing some crazy numbers. So yeah....
So ever since I got The update my battery life is noticeably worse......has anybody else had this issue?

Mine is considerably worse now. I went into pizza hut tonight with 100% battery. We were in there like an hour and a half and when I checked my phone when leaving it was at 88%. It was in my pocket the entire time.
As I'm typing this I'm at 64% with 4hrs and 3 minutes of very light usage. 1 hr of screen on time...
These posts are just silly and unnecessary. The two of you above me? Our phones are setup completely different, with different apps, syncs, settings, etc.
How long has kitkat been out? Give it a few days. Posts like this pop up with EVERY single android update since android has been around.
My battery life is great - as always.

I have never had any issues with my phones having battery struggle and this is my 5th android phone. That is why I posted the question because it was very bizarre for me not to have great battery life. I was simply asking the question to see if anything has been said about an update or some type of fix other than the typical "battery saving" answers

Have you guys turned off wifi scanning always available? I know that obliterates my N5s battery.
Sent from my Ghost
Make sure Google Play Services is updated. Rumors were that there was a bug in the release version causing battery drain.
Give it a few days and then see. I never turn off WiFi or GPS

You must have a defective phone or something wrong with your software. I already have an hour of screen on time and am still at 90%.
I am at CES right now, so probably it happens because of overloaded 4G... But previously the battery life was relatively bad anyway

Gsam will tell you a lot. It's free and doesn't need root.
Then maybe try the "how's your battery life thread"....Have a read through and you'll find tonnes of tips and what not.

Read through it when you can though....almost anything you could ever need to know about battery life in there.

This solved my problem regarding the phone turning of at 50% battery or 37% etc. You will see after applying the settings the battery percentage will change and show the real battery life.
I got this solution from a Google tech.
1) Power off your phone.
2) Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons. This will put the phone in fastboot.
3) Use the Volume buttons to scroll through the menu until you see "Bootloader logs"
4) Press and hold the power key for a long time (7+ seconds) until the phone reboots.

After days and days of searching and trying a zillion things without success and just as I was ready to RMA the phone I stumbled upon this suggestion in the Google forums. It was posted by a Google tech somewhere in the middle of a really big thread that I couldn't find again. No I didn't find this by myself but wanted to share for users to be able to find it easily.

I returned my phone a few weeks ago because of this issue and got a replacement from Motorola . I do notice certain kernels will create this situation moreso than the stock rom or stock kernel will not create this issue so that's also something to think about.
However, thanks for the insight should my replacement phone display the same symptoms.
Edit: interesting, I just tried your suggestion and my battery went from 91% to 66%.
I am on the validator kernel using the suggested settings.

That's good. It means that your battery would have died at about 25%.
Let me ask you? Are you using a wireless charger?

On occasion at work but not at home. Sounds like another cause. Why would it if I may ask?
I actually find them to be silly as you must plug the charger base via USB which I can do with phone! Just another step IMHO including finding the sweet spot when resting on charger.

Also raises another question: those turbo chargers. I have 3 from moto and use at home. I don't think however as phone seems to charge correctly and capacity seems to register correctly.

I will be using the phone for 6-7 days without the wireless charger to see if the problem comes back. If it doesn't I will then use the wireless charger and see if problem shows up. This is an issue with a lot of people and many of them have RMA'd the phone just to realize that the problem came back and it's not a hardware issue.

By using a regular 5v charger instead of the idiotic 5/9/12v charger that came with it.
I am having the below issue.
1. If phone is around the 30% mark, and I receive a call, it would just switch off.
2. If i reboot the phone with it being around 30% mark, it will just switch off after displaying the lockscreen.
Is this behavior that is same as the one in the thread?
I tried the mentioned steps and my battery percentage stayed the same. It also shows the same battery percentage in TWRP.

Yes exactly the same problem. Keep pushing the power button a few seconds longer after phone switches off. My problem was fixed but a week later it came back. For others it was fixed permanently. There's a lot of people with this problem and they keep increasing. I fear that certain wireless chargers are causing it. Are you using a wireless charger?

No I am not using any wireless charger. I only use the turbo charger at home and a 2A N7 charger at work.
I am waiting for 5.1 and will run it for a few days to test . Hope that 5.1 will fix this issue.
Also Google suppport asked me to reboot into safe mode and see if the issue is still there.
Just tried this and it went from 82 to 85%.
I have an issue where the phone turns off at 5%
I have this problem currently with my N6 and it is beyond madding.
First it would do it only when the phone was getting to 30~35% tried the fix.
Now the phone crashes it all the time. 80% crash, charge for a little bit use again 85% crash, charge to 100% use streaming a movie from google play 65% crash. now im going to try a custom rom to see if that will fix it.
tried the fix several time only seems to make it worse.
even with a blank install after reinstalling the stock img the phone will crash.
Only thing different I notice is they added WiFi calling

Same here. A new wakelock appeared called diagnostics.client.wakelock (found under android system). it appears that at&t has reinstated that carrier iq rootkit/spyware nonsense and it is draining our batteries. There doesn't appear to be anyway to disable it without root so looks like we are stuck with it.
