Not a huge problem, but based on screen shot below (and battery is still not dead--who knows how much longer it will go), when my battery says 1%, it looks like it has at least 5% remaining. How many others have this issue? It's annoying because it creates the appearance of faster drain than I'm actually having.

Run it dead and charge it back up. I think it is a common thing on this phone. I've done that and my drain appears normal now.

I dunno. YouTube worked on mine first time. It played over 2 hours of YT at 1%.

I never experienced that. I wish i did. I drained the phone down to 1% few times and every time it powered off aftew 2 minutes or so.

batteries are complicated and the methods used to measure them are weird.
temperature, voltage, amperage, projected usage and who knows what else all factor into the battery reading. the other day I was using my phone intensely. when i set it down and came back to it later, the battery reading had actually increased! so it's not a real measurement

No.This is not normal!
Did u charged the phone continuously for 3 hours?? Until the 100% battery icon came?
"Yes Iam a Gangnam Style Fan......
Actually who's not ...?"
yep
until it say that the battery is charged and i should disconnect the charger
@OP wipe battery stats from cwm and use your phone till it goes to complitely dry and switch off after that charge your phone to 100% continuously without break the charge even single min. till the notification shows.
And see the difference..

So here I am casually checking GSam when I see this alarming graph:

To me, if this is accurate, it's terrifying! While this may have been happening I wasn't using the phone. 3 background apps, not charging. The phone is running the stock system. I also DID NOT notice a freakish heatsource in my pocket... It's been back to normal since so far.
Has anyone else seen an error like this in GSam, or maybe seen their battery temp legitimately go up to 140? Should I be concerned?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Your battery dropped precipitously right around that time. Check the others radio button to see what else may have been happening at the time. 140 seems awful high...it's entirely possible that a sensor went crazy for a few minutes...
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I wouldn't worry about if unless you were using the phone and felt the temp go that high. Reminds me of my first 3 samdung captivates.. lol. Those literally got too hot to hold to my ear; somewhere in the 120F + range
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Yeah I've been hoping it was just a GSam error, and thankfully the highest the temp it's been since is 40ish. Though it's weird that an error would show up over that time frame and peak shape.
You're right, the charge did drop a lot during that time. I checked out the other statistics and my phone signal dropped then, but not the minimum. Nothing else I saw was going on (screen, call, gps, active) ...
Here's hoping it stays good I guess.

I have been having awesome battery life with this phone so far. But nothing beats this. 6 hour screen on time is unheard of right? Hehe

We can all get that battery life if we charge it back up half way through. Mods, please close this thread, it clutters the forum.

lol, you are funny!
i can get way more than 6 hours sot, especially if i judge sot like you do. you charged your phone mostly full. your battery life/sot shows that you are talking sot, but you also charged your phone a bit. so, in reality where i exist, your sot doesnt even come close to counting. what a waste of a tbread.
Without charging in the middle. Lol
There's no need to create a new thread when this thread here exists. Please use it instead.

Hello! Yesterday i downloaded Gsam APP to see my battery life and how long it lasts. My results were really bad. The consumption was around 7-8% hour, and I use the phone way more than yesterday..
Those are the screenshots of gsam:

Is there any solution? I really need this battery to last way more than this.
My moto x is not rooted, should I root it? My version is 4.4.3.
Cheers
First, I noticed the moto x drains real good when on calls, more than my N5. So you need to keep in mind according to gsam, 25 percent of your battery drain was the phone calls. That's huge!
Also, you have almost 3 hours of held awake time....and I'm pretty sure if you click the drop down in gsam app screen, you can't check the held awake time or times waking device, cause you're not rooted.
And, you have Bluetooth on the entire time, and location services and Google now I'm betting? Those will take a chuck of battery life also.
Lastly, 22 percent of your drain was screen. Auto brightness? Were you in bright areas a lot? When the screen is bright, it will drain fast too.
So, all that said....I'd say your battery times are about right. Getting better times will take some tweaking and sacrifice of conveniences.....and getting used to toggling features on and off....instead of always on.
Check out post number 2 in this thread....its our battery life help thread now in the N5 section. But pretty much all the info in post number 2 applies to about any device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785128
Of course, you're going to be limited by not being rooted....so some things you can't do....but most you can. Or at least you can read up about it.
Good luck!

I've already set the app to run on high priority, but it still doesn't properly track usage. This may have something to do with lollipops aggressive memory management, but I had no issue on lollipop with both last year's Moto x and the s4.
Ps I'm on the free version.

GSam says the time reported is from "custom reference". Change the GSam setting to be something else...
Since last full charge would probably be the most obvious. But some people prefer since last unplugged.
Touch the 'delta' symbol (triangle) at the bottom of the GSam screen.

I know I specifically set it to custom because it reportes the last charge was 2 days ago
Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk
Well I don't know what to tell you then...
When I have GSam set to 'since last full charge' it matches the usage of the built in battery stats (which are also calculated based on 'since last full charge').
If you use a different reference point in GSam, of course it won't match the stats on the built in app...
