I'm not sure if others have had this problem, but I updated to 4.4 a while back. I've never ever had problems with battery life on my phone. It lasts about a day comfortably. However, I decided to see if I could get better battery life out of it today by enabling "battery saver", as I haven't really ever noticed a degraded performance by doing so on any of my phones. Upon doing so, I flipped the switch and scrolled away to find that it immediately kicked off. I've cleared my cache and am running with dalvik runtime for stability. Has anyone else encountered an issue, or possibly a solution? I'm avoiding a factory data reset, as I'd rather deal with the problem than have to start over fresh.
Have you disabled Motorola Assist or anything? The battery saver uses assist to work.

After installation of the latest update to Google Play services , my Moto X has become a battery hog.
Am rooted, have the Verizon Dev model.
Using Greenify BetterBatterystats etc.
Seeing CastSocketMultiplexer.mWakelock appear, never seen it before.
What happened and what else can I do?
I know its a dumb go-to answer but did you try clearing cache and then rebooting?
Also might let it settle, sometimes these things just need a day.

Did clear cache and let things settle for about 5 days. Phone never got below 50%, now needs recharging at the end of the afternoon.
Convinced that this happened after the latest Google Play Services update.
What is that CastSocketWakelock. Can't find much written about it.
I'm not sure. Normally I get a REALLY high wake lock on nlpcollectorwakelock.

I have determined that for whatever reason leaving location settings on battery saver consumes more battery than high accuracy with latest play services. My wife's moto x gets amazing battery life compared to my x. I couldn't figure it out except that she always has high accuracy and I was battery saver. Now I leave it on high accuracy and everything is back to normal for the most part.
Hello everyone,
When I got the X, I was happy with its battery life. Since the past couple of weeks I am having a terrible experience with the battery life. I installed betterbatterystats and I checked in the alarms tab, com.google.android.gms has consumed 60%? How do I stop this. In standby mode as well my battery is losing by 4-6% every hour?
Any help is much appreciated.
Clear data from Google Play Services and Google App, or do a factory reset. I have noticed that my phone drains more battery in standby than it did in Kitkat, upto 5 times more. In device operation, opposite is true. But the standby time sucks. Really, no solution seems unless Motorola releases an update, it is getting really lousy to fix bugs; or better, you can unlock bootloader and use a custom ROM.

have already done that and performed a factory reset to. no benefit.
the only reason i am not flashing a custom rom is because i want the moto actions.

You can stay rooted on stock rom as well and figure out what's eating your battery. That way moto actions won't be lost either. That's what I've done to narrow down what's eating my battery.

Hi
I recently upgraded to LMY48M (flashed it) on my Nexus and I've been getting this battey drain issue where the battery is draining really quickly, almost half the original life.
I tried googling this issue and learned that this in fact is an issue almost everyone is facing with LMY48M. Is there any fix for this?
I am on that build and not having any issues. You might try booting into recovery and clear cache/dalvik.
Sadly this fixed nothing. Battery still drains after clearing cache.
I know for a fact this isn't a hardware problem though because it works fine on LMY48i
I had same issue and did a factory reset and its fixed it.

Radio active bug...,I flashed mine back to 5.1 and everythings fine again.
Have you tried to figure out what's causing the battery drain? There are plenty of tools available to help you determine what's draining your battery. It could be any number of things and you've given us nothing that will allow others to help you.
I don't know a lot about this I'm also new to the forums and don't know how stuff works and what I need to 'provide' in order for you to help me. Kindly name 'those number of applications' that can help me?
OT: I cleared the cache partition and it fixed the problem minorly but still didn't make it perfect like it used to be.
Also factory reset which again; might've helped but only a bit because the battery although is better than it used to be, but still isn't running perfect like its suppose to.

Nothing to figure out there. Radio stays active, even when youre in wifi. I only flashed 5.1 and it went away, just as I wrote in my comment.
"Radio active" is meaningless, since the radio is on a separate chip from the CPU.
Go into your battery screen, tap on the graph, check the WIFI activity bar. I've occasionally seen it where if you turn on your wifi AT ALL, and then turn it off, it keeps on being "on" until you reboot.
You can also go into your wifi advanced settings and turn OFF "Scanning always available". Not sure if that fixes the problem of it staying on or not, but doing that also is likely to help with wifi power consumption.
According to BBS, GSAM, and the native battery monitor, my radio isn't on all the time using LMY48M.
Is anyone else having huge issues with battery drain after updating to 5.1.1. I've disabled all the crap, wiped my cache, disabled enhanced LTE. and have minimal apps installed besides stock. Just took the phone off the battery charger. It was at 100% when removed. It's been sitting for 40 min with the screen off. The battery is down to 93% already with 3% being used by Android system, 1% by system UI, and 1% by Android OS. This is nuts. I can't even get through 1/2 a day of regular use. Any ideas?
Big time. My phone isn't going to sleep. My Android System Stay Awake time is more than double my screen on time.
I'm having the same problem. I currently have Location History turned on to get more surveys on Google Opinion Rewards (I could turn that off if I wanted to); and I also know that because I'm not in WiFi during the day, the Lollipop mobile radio active bug keeps the radio awake way longer than it should. It's crazy that I can leave my phone alone during the day and watch it drop ~5% an hour because of the horrible standby behavior.
There is something wrong with your phone or app. I have about 100 apps. No problem here.
This is the international version of the phone

Or it's something to do with the AT&T version of the firmware as yours is an international version and not having issues.

Battery drain issue is related to the AT&T 5.1.1 firmware.

I guess it might make sense to stay on 5.0.2 in hopes of a future bootloader unlock and to stay away from a potential battery draining bug. If only AT&T would embrace a more open approach to this model phone. I only got this phone because the nexus was out of stock and I was in need of a new phone. My trusty old S3 was a godsend, with its unlocked bootloader and fully open platform. The fact that AT&T is closing up the ability to root the phone is drastic enough, let alone introducing bugs that make you want to throw the phone at the wall (battery drain).
How can I see what is keeping my phone awake without root? It's staying awake 3/4 of the time and below is a shot of my app usage. What I can tell it's a system issue, but not sure. And yes I factory reset twice and wiped cache.
Same here. factory reset cache wipe x2 and have everything non essential disabled. It's driving me nuts! This phone was a rockstar until this update. Going to best buy tomorrow and will see if the Samsung folks can reinstall the update or something. I'll post what I find out.
Battery life is worse than my old s4. The screen barely takes any of it, when it used to be more than half the battery life on my s4. Yet I still get about the same screen on time.
Yup I completely agree. Left my phone at 53% overnight and I woke up to the phone completely drained and dead. It's ridiculous.
I noticed something odd. On wifi, battery life is great, maybe 1% every 2 hours idle. But without wifi, battery life goes down 10% an hour idle.
Finally made it to the Samsung center at best buy. The guy was able to force the update again and everything went smooth. So far maybe a little better, not sure yet. I'll post when I know for sure if it worked and was a bad update.
So after the forced re-do of the update it wasn't any better. List 20% at night with everything off. Dido another factory reset and cache wipe and that seems like it might have fixed it. Only 4% list last. Not as good as it was but definite improvement. Hope this helps anyone else with same issue.

TurboRZR please update... would love to know if that fixed it before I wipe my S6 for a second time.
I too am having an issue with the new 5.1.1 update where my "Android System" is getting stuck in a stay awake loop draining my battery. Sometimes a simple restart will fix it for a few hours, but it will always come back.
I installed wakelock detector and set it up to run on a non-rooted phone. When I pulled the statistics , the biggest battery drain I had under "Android System" was diagnostic.client.network. Nothing else even came close to the drain this resource was pulling.
This was as far as I was able to get as I have no idea what that is or how to disable it if I even should.
I have resolved the issue on my S6 Edge, I even attempted a factory reset which didn't resolve the issue. I had noticed my Wifi usage in GSAM was very high (50-70%) and after some searches I found that someone else posted in a different forum (I think it was the S6 Active forum) that the issue was related to multicast being enabled on wifi routers. I disabled it on my fios router (it's in a hidden menu) and it resolved my drain. I am now at 12 days uptime without a random drain. I also had to disabled Enhanced LTE as that was causing a HUGE drain at times when I didn't have LTE. I hope this helps.
I recently picked up a Moto G 2014 for a family member since it was on sale and I'm having a bit of trouble, at least I think I am. This person hardly uses the phone, doesn't make calls every day but putters around on it, listens to music occasionally. Real basic use stuff. The battery only seems to last a day. In trying to diagnose/troubleshoot it without rooting or voiding warranty, it seems like it's draining excessively. Just sitting with all the apps closed on the home screen, it's burning up about 180-210 mA according to Ampere. Now, my LG G2 reliably uses 30mA on the home screen without apps running. Apples & oranges, I know but shouldn't the value on the Moto G be lower? Does anyone else use Ampere and have similar readings? With the little use this phone sees, I'd imagine people that use it regularly have to charge multiple times a day to keep the phone alive and I can't see the Motorola engineers doing that. I've tried closing and disabling apps that aren't used and there doesn't seem to be much that goes on. So I'm not sure if this is normal or if something's wrong. I have done all the OTA updates and also tried a factory reset, it made no difference. I'm tempted to root & install the official CM but if there's something wrong with the phone, I want to get it fixed through Motorola first.
Any ideas for this Moto newbie? Thanks in advance.
Here's some screenshots of the battery stats in case anyone's curious:

I'm getting 160-170 mA after clearing all the recent apps with CM 12.1. But battery life is not bad at all. About 1 day with 5+hours of SoT or 2-3days with 3+ hours of SoT. So I don't really care.
Ps.: I don't think that 30mA is enough for phone to run with screen ON. Maybe in sleep mode.. 30mA is way too small value. I also found an article about power consumption of smartphones: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1212.1896.pdf

That sounds significantly better than what my Moto G is getting. I doubt the phone sees 2 hours of SoT in a day but the battery barely lasts a day. I'm hoping it's just hoggy apps and that CM will clean things up.

I think you're right actually. Looking at the Ampere stats, it shows 30mA as the max draw, even after opening several apps and running. I thought this seemed right for idle but it's always stuck there under load.
Actually I had a similar problem with my Moto G on stock. Did you use GPS? Because when I turn on and off gps on my phone it remains ON and drains my battery pretty fast, until I restart my phone. So whenever I use GPS I have to turn it off in settings and restart my phone in order to turn it off.
OK so if u really want a decent battery life. Just turn of sync, location and keep scanning In advanced WiFi settings.
Since its showing Google services as culprit, turning sync off would probably solve the issue.
