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.

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!

no good for me. maybe your juice plotter is drinking up your juice. try uninstalling it and see if there is a significant difference or try getting into setting in application and then manage application then select running application see if there is some rogue app there running that you don't use and force stop them just beware to force stop running system apps then charge your battery at full and see how much it drain. you may clear up your dalvik cache and battery stats first if you have that option.
That battery life is horrible. I regularly get > 24 hours with medium usage. There are many threads around here on improving battery life.
Yes. Absolutely terrible. Do you remember what you were doing about 7:45, when it started to tank? The temperature seems a little high to me, too.

I noticed recently that my idle time battery has been suffering a bit. After charging to 100%, the battery dropped to 67% after leaving it idle overnight.
Here are some captures from BetterBatteryStats. Seems like it is awake 1/3 of the time. Is this normal or do I have some wakelocks eating the battery?

That it's because you left your wifi turned on, also you can see your battery controller i don't remember wich app it is but that thing is eating your battery and causing wakelocks all the time. Try disable those before you get to sleep.
Okay, the OS battery stats say that Android OS is eating the majority of the battery.
Should I just disable background sync when I leave it on overnight? If I turn off Wi-Fi, it enables LTE which would consume a lot more battery.
You should probably consider using the -existing- battery life thread, rather than having created a new thread. The people in that thread are more likely to help you and have useful suggestions for you.

GPS eats the battery up on this phone a lot because of the Google services. Go into setting,, then location and change mode to device only. You will see a huge difference in battery drain.
Does anybody know if the .726 firmware has any issues with low battery life and overheating?? I have the update available but i didn't do it because i red that many z3 compact-lollipo users had problems with battery life. Thanks
Battery Issues
I had an issue when I installed it, battery life was terrible the first day. Something about Mobile Radio Active... I turned off Queue Background Data in Power Management and it seems to be better now. I haven't had any issues with overheating, although I might not be the best person to ask, cause I'm not really a heavy user. Just every day apps.
I installed the update immediately because I got sick of not being able to do anything with my sd card! I don't really see any other reason, so if you don't wanna risk it, don't update!
EDIT: Ignore what I said, battery is still terrible. It appears that lollipop's battery stats is just bad. There is something wasting my battery and I have no idea what

I upgraded my gf z3 to lollipop and the damn phone overheats constantly and has an insane battery drain. It usually drops to 40% by 8 or so for her on normal usage (she barely uses it) but since the update it dies before 9pm. There is something seriously wrong with this and I'll continue looking into this. Really aggravating. And the heat is unbearable.
Hey guys, my LG G820N have problem with phone idle, it's drain battery so much, more than 50%
I removed the sim, turn off face id, and it's still loss 3% per hour.

I have a similar issue, I thought the battery was near it's end of life (2 years old) so I got a new one put it an I'm still having the issue. Something is causing alot of battery drain when Idle. If I go to battery in settings there aren't any apps acting up, it's the phone idle that's using the majority of the battery and it's not even lasting 24 hours with less than 30 min screen time. Not sure what to do tbh. I tried a hard reset too and no improvement.
Hi,
Im not expert at this , sorry if this not helpful but have you try background restriction. It located at battery setting

I got a new phone and charged the G8 to 45% then turned it off, when I woke up the next morning it was dead. There's a short to ground somewhere on one of the logic boards I'm going to try replacing the charge port logic board, the other one isn't worth replacing.
Hello everyone, today I woke-up with my phone pretty much dead, with only 1% of battery. The weird thing is that before bed, the battery percentage was around 70ish percent.
Here's a screenshot of the battery usage:

}
Some details to help me figure it out the issue:
Auto optimize daily is on.
Auto restart at set times is on (it restarted around the time that the battery percentage drops to the floor).
Adaptative power saving is off.
Background usage limits is configured properly.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance!
it's possible the Google services was running (updates and such) and used up a lot of the battery. Google being the OS developer tends to run quite a lot of things in the back without users knowing, and this is quite normal. As to draining such large amount, is your location in a poor data coverage area? if you are, then the phone likely was using extra battery to strengthen the signal. Note that even with wifi connection, data is still used for some activities by the phone.
if this keeps persisting then Google is probably not the culprit and you'll want to report the issue right away to samsung using samsung members app > get help > error report. just be sure to see the drain and immediately report.
Also, I've seen some users install 3rd party apps to track in finer detail on what is using the battery the most. I myself do not know as I don't use it, but you can easily find some recommendations on Reddit i think.
