Battery - Moto X Q&A

I'm rooted 4.2.2 TWRP with nova launcher and my battery life is pathetic. Prior to root I was still using nova launcher and didn't notice any issues with the battery.
Has anyone else experienced a deterioration in battery life after flashing TWRP?

I have not unlocked my bootloader to install TWRP yet, but that shouldn't be a factor. also, there is a battery life thread in the general section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2418077 .... might get better answers there.

i can give input on this one. i have my bootloader unlocked, and TWRP installed i am also running stock 4.4 self detoxed with stock kernel. and i can say i easily get threw the day on one charge. and i normally talk on my phone 2-3 hrs each day with 1 hr screen on time. i would go to settings and battery and see what is draining your battery. something you have installed is doing it but i can promise it is not root or TWRP

1% Battery Discharge Every 2 Minutes

Hi,
I had V10F now im at V10H (same problem)
My battery life decreasing literally by the minute, when I hold the phone with nothing running, just looking at the screen I get 1% battery decrease in about every 2-3 minutes.
I got the phone with V10F and now upgraded to H and did Factory reset, nothing changed.
Is this a common bug?
Thanks
Install better battery stats and check what is draining ur battery. And it ain't sounds like a bad battery. But better battery stats should help u determine what is causing the issue.

It started on the 10F for me, I got the phone with it.
Whats the best app to see which apps takes the most battery?
I think it was a mistake to sell my Galaxy Note for X4, I never had such serious battery issues and I always assumed that in regular non gaming, non multimedia use the tegra3 will use the 5th LP core.
what a disappointment.
Now It stopped connecting to WiFi N networks for some reason

Hi Dante501: I have Better Battery Stats installed on my mobile. I am able to check the battery loss since unplugged, boot, etc.
However, BBS app does not show the name of app that took maximum battery, etc. The other app sugggested on XDA Easy Battery Saver does show the detailed information. EBS has some in-mobile advts which I clicked quite often and get charged for some useless services. I have unisntalled and have only BBS.
Is there some other apps that gives the details as to which app too how much percentage, and so on. That will be very useful. Thanks in advance for your suggestions/info.

Im not sure its possible, after I updated the ROM I did factory reset and format
Well unless its one of the Lg apps.
Im going to use the guide and disable all of them
Any ideas what can affect wifi? I mean if it connects to G but not N its not broken rihgt?
P.S. I also noticed that X4 has no WiFiN 5Hz support, when I used Note it always found my 5Ghz SSID and I was able to connect.
X4 wont even find it, it finds 2.4Ghz N but trys to connect and then nothing.
was working fine 2 days ago. with occasional issues, I had to off/on the wifi before It could connect to N network.
Now it wont connect at all.

I don't know what you guys are doing with the phone but, mine last for more than two days last time I need to charge it, using GPS for 45min.+/-, normal calls 30min.+/- and about 45min. total in the internet (checking emails, facebook, playstore and xda app).
Today I almost didn't use it, only one call, about 5 min., I play a race in NFS, around 5min., check the playstore for news and updates 10min.,
and I have 80% of charge...
I'm on v10h and I don't see any or a big difference between one and the other.

I understand, but i have the impression that Braziv V10C has a better battery life (even if it is without root). I may be wrong, but that is my impression.

[Q] Better battery life post 4.1.1 update?

Google Now eats up battery life. I'll be making a guide on how to maximize battery life seeing as no matter what I'm on (ICS, JB, or JB OTA) I still manage to push 8+ hours of screen on time with the setup I use. Also, disable fastdormancy if you're using a carrier that doesn't support it.

Two hours of screen on time contributed to only 10% battery loss???
Did you just left it with screen on without touching it?
Can you post all the things you've frozen? I am on T-Mobile as well.
This is literally everything frozen
And I lose 20% per every 2 hours of screen time
On 4g. It varies day to day, depending on my location.

If you're familiar with Game Center on iOS, it's pretty much the Android version of that, as far as I know.
The best part is that it seems that app data syncs through the cloud
More battery draining stuff to turn off, same as Google now.
Possibly dumbest quote of the day, Google Now pulls little to no battery, and this will be the same, don't blame random apps for your personal Android issues

Hi just passing through looking at other forums. You're really wrong, Google now does little to nothing to your battery. Leaving GPS and other such things is what drains the battery. Like what the gentlemen said above us with the high amount of thanks said. You're responsible for what happens to your battery.

Leaving GPS on does nothing to the battery. It only affects battery if an app is using it. Google Now does impact battery life, like it or not. It has a location reporter that's been proven to drain battery, and think about it. It constantly has up to date data, so it has to use battery to be refreshing it so much.

Well a lot of IOS users are convinced judging by the recent headlines. I don't buy googles claims either, unless it uses magic pixie fairy dust for power, there's definate drain on the battery.
I'll keep all the crap turned off and enjoy my 6 hours sot thanks
I'm dead. Lol Google now is the main reason why my battery dies. Not having GPS on, not playing emulators all day, not having NFC on, not having a long screen time, not using my camera to take picture, not other things. Its Google now. Better leave a obscene comment on the play store.
[Edit]
You literally spend like 20 seconds on the app searching for whatever. How does that impact your battery? Like I said I'm dead.

I think it is because it regularly checks for your location even it is just using WiFi/Mobile Network location it seems to clearly drain my battery. Unless if you disable Location Access to Google services then maybe it won't drain so much that we all complains.

Do you understand the process of constant location updating and pushing and pulling data? That kind of stuff holds a wakelock and wakes the device up from sleep to fetch data. That uses battery. Period. Its not just a simple searching app.

4.3 Battery life

After updating to 4.3, I have noticed that using the stock ROM/Kernel is giving me better battery life than before.
It's equivalent to what I used to get using custom kernels.
Also, I haven't noticed any overheating. At least it is not worse than before for me.
Now before you say "Oh that's complete Wi-Fi use" or w/e. I never got ~ 5 hours of Screen on Time when not on Wi-Fi before either... even w/ PA and Franco and UVing.
With that being said... In my first 24 hours of 4.3 use, I have 5 hours SOT.
Wondering the same thing myself.. to see if its worth flashing 4.3 for the battery life vs losing my custom rom features and adding some annoying things i've seen like constant notifications..
Would appreciate input from people who have already flashed it. Or I could just wait for uxylon to get on 4.3
Going to patiently wait for slimbean 4.3 haha.
Yeah..Battery life is great so far..I started while i had 77% charge left..Still managed to reach 4Hrs sot out of total 23Hrs..

No doubt I'm getting better battery life. Looking like around a 20% increase. I can attribute this to mainly a better cellular signal that I now get. On WiFi battery is roughly the same.

To be frank I'm not seeing much better here than in the "battery impression" thread. Firstly the op has a low score for using WiFi, so I could only imagine his previous experience was even more mediocre, but don't lunge this is just my observation.

IPhone constantly telling me "overheating" even though it's not

Ok so having this issue with my phone...for some reason the past few days it constantly giving me an overheating warning...now the hottest my phone had reached was about 115°f under heavy stress...but it's giving me the warning even when the phone temp is in the 70s or 80s f....thought it was Rom related...factory reset a few times and have tried a few rims out...the only thing that has changed is I went from an otterbox commuter to and Uag case...but I just don't understand why it would give me warnings when the phones not even hot

Have you used an app to monitor the temperature? If you have done a factory reset and have went back to all stock, it might be a defect.
