So since the update to 4.4.2 on Verizon with the new battery life update, my battery lasts about 6 hours, and also I keep losing my softkeys, have to keep rebooting to get them back. Just curios if anyone else is having this problem??, I emailed motorola today and they saiid that no one else is having this problem. and told me to try turning my phone off and back on and see if that helps. Does anyone think that smashing my phone and filing an insurance claim to go back to 4.4 a good Idea?
Yes, insurance fraud is a great idea! By the way, no such issues on my VZW Dev Edition. Same ROM, just with an unlockable bootloader.

Insurance fraud is illegal. And I'm betting you haven't even tied a factory reset.

I have not had the issue with the softkeys... but I have had horrible battery life! 5.5 hours today and I was from 100% to 0%. My phone always feels very hot. In my pocket it feels like I have handwarmers. It's not like I played a game at all today for more than 5 minutes, or talked on the phone for a long time. It was less than average usage and horrible battery life.
Getting fantastic battery here. Stock 4.4.2 unrooted

Load gsam to try to figure out what is eating your battery. I had a similar issue after 4.4.2 upgrade, discovered that wifi was really running hard (turned it off, also found a box down in settings to turn off where apps can use wifi even with wifi off). I also found my email account was eating my battery. I killed my account and loaded k-9 email. Now battery is fantastic.
My battery is getting drained pretty rapidly. I'll try shutting off Wi-Fi whenever I'm not near a hotspot and see if that fixes things.

No issues here following update, backup your stuff and factory reset the phone.

I had the same issue with my battery the day after my 4.4.2 update. I contacted Motorola and they asked me to clear the cache partition. I did this to make them happy but I actually fixed my issue. Hopefully it works for you too.
So i had already already done the wipe and factory reset. The only thing that fixed this was the clearing of the cache as far as the battery life. Also I found that the loss of the soft keys was from after use of team viewer and clash of clans apps after I hit the home button to get out. When I closed the app on exit I haven't had anymore problems losing the soft keys. This ones was more of my own stupidity. Ha thanks for the help

Out of curiosity, to the peeps posting pics of their battery status; what was your screen time?

when DC v2.08.1 came out i downloaded it just like all the other DC ROMS prior. At first i noticed some improvements in battery and performance, but after a few days of using it i decided to check what has been using the battery in settings.. this is what i came across

crazy thing is i hadn't used the camera that day... i monitored it for the next few days and still no matter what i do on the phone throughout the day, it always shows these same stats.. the great thing about all this is my battery would last past 24 hours no matter what i did on the phone..
i ended up flashing DC v2.09.1 (cause im a flashaholic) and couldn't get the same results.. well i decided to nandroid back to 2.08.1 but i lost the battery performance i was getting before... when i checked whats been using the battery, it would show normal things that i've used and cell standby and phone idle would be back to about 40% each... so i decided to wipe and reflash DC v2.08.1.. low and behold, after about 3 days, its back to 96% camera, 2% cell standby, and 2% phone idle.
my question is does anyone know how, or why this is happening?? im loving how long my battery last and the speed of my phone because of this.. i just wanna make sure it stays like this.. or maybe how to make this happen on other ROMs cause im sure im gonna flash another one again soon...
(oh and by the way, im not missing any phone calls, text messages, or emails.. everything is working perfectly)
It happened to me a few times while on dc, rebooting would set it back to normal.
I read around here somewhere that ir wasit was a sense bug..i forget where...
I don't have any useful information sadly.

rebooting doesnt change anything for me (which is a good thing)..
Now that you mention it, I had the same experience, yet didn't realize it at the time, being new to rooting/roms/etc...i have lately been using stock 2.1 rooted without updating..and really noticed the difference in battery life. Got me thinkin' now.
I'm getting some fairly significant battery drain from something called "Modality Service." It probably wouldn't annoy me so much if I had any clue what it was. Anyone seeing anything similar? Any idea what it is? My searches on the matter are coming up empty.

On and off through the day.
Interestingly "Modality Service" hasn't shown up at all today, with 7.5 hrs on battery. It's pretty intense when it does though, and I'm still deeply curious.
I saw this on someone's screen shot the other day, googled it and it didn't return anything related to it.
I think the use who posted had data disabled for most of the battery cycle, maybe it has to do with that? Not sure though

I have the same issue. I noticed it yesterday, I had very low usage and it was the top battery user. I clicked on it and it said it used GPS for the whole time my phone was on but I have GPS off, so that was odd. Also I checked into BatteryStats+ and it didn't even have it using my battery. It appears it isn't affecting my battery life because my CPU usage was only about 2s. I have no idea what it is though. I posted this on G+ and a guy replied saying he was on the phone with Motorola multiple times and ended up getting a replacement. I'd prefer not to go that route...
I too just noticed this last night and today. Last night it was showing using 48% of the battery and today using 38%. I found the service and force closed it. Not sure what it does or is.
Do you all have moto assist activated. It's only an issue for me when moto assist is trying to determine if I am driving. If I disable the driving portion, modality service never appears

So, I am posting this for a friend, mostly because I have the same phone, and want to fix it if it happens to me.
My friend just got a brand new customized Moto X, and says he loves it. However, his phone seems to be completely unable to read the charge level of the battery. Here are a couple screenshots of the battery graph. Notice the phone is never plugged in during the time periods show.

I think he is going to try a full discharge and recharge, but that is pretty rough on the battery, and I don't want him to damage it. Is this a software bug? Or did he just get a defective unit?
Thanks!
EDIT: So, he actually WAS charging on one of those screenshots, but the graph didn't register it... Still weird...

I've never seen a graph like that honestly. But he does have serious held awake issues. Could be related.
Tell him to get Gsam from play store. Much more in depth statistics.

Hes had the phone about 24 hours. I think the held awake part is simply novelty... "okay google now"
But yeah, i'm stumped!
Google now won't keep it awake like that.
Gsam may tell you. Can't recall its unrooted capabilities ...but more than the stock battery stat screen either way.

OK I know phones put out heat but not with the simplest of tasks. I mean this is ridiculous if I play a game on it it gets smoking hot. My wife's nexus 6 doesn't even get warm and my s 5 I traded in for this barely got warm even with heavy use. Now onto the battery omg it drains faster than a 454 wide open does anyone have any advice or work around that actual work to improve both of these issues I am rooted have greenify, and tibu with some bloat frozen but still no noticeable difference thanks in advance
Oh yeah did I mention that the signal sux ass I'm constantly loosing lte coverage and it takes forever to even load the playstore....
I can literally sit here on the lowest brightness, everything disabled and watch the battery percentage go down. On super light use (navigating settings etc) it's warm.
Tried stock... or on clean rom...same.
Just charged to full, did a factory reset..Started fresh no restore and it went from 100% to 94% in less than 8 minutes. Is this a joke? Lol yeah this one is going back! Oh and those 8 minutes we're very very light use..just navigating phone.

I've been up for 3 hrs and I'm down to 52% I am using my tether but that's it. Think I might take this back and try the edge or another s6...I heard lollipop 5.1 is suppose to fix these issues any buddy have an info what so ever on the problems causing this. I love the phone but something needs to happen here and fast

3 hours tethering and you only lost 48%? That's pretty good. Tethering uses your cell data (battery kilker) and constant WiFi (battery killer) while keeping the CPU out of deep sleep to process routing for the tethered devices.
Yeah I know it eats battery, I don't have Internet where I live so tether is all I get it blows I'm also comparing to my wife's nexus 6 and my s 5 which both never dropped at this rate.
I get as good battery life as my N6, which is not as much as I'd like, but it's good enough. It's 2 and I've only dropped my phone on wireless charging for a few mins, and it's at 74%.

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.
