Battery life - Moto X Q&A

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.

just a hint : most battery consumption can be checked in the battery stats, on the activity graph : awake vs screen on - if awake and screen on are not synced in the activity graph (should have same lines) then you have a problem. meaning when your phone has its screen off it should go into deep sleep mode (lower cpu frequency) but if you the phone is awake while screen is off, you have an application installed that won't let your phone sleep and just keeps using the cpu and sucking the battery.
this is mostly applied to standby battery life, if you are playing a game/watching a movie, doesn't really matter screen is on, cpu/gpu is sucking the battery.
my worst battery life while i had the O2X was about 16h, but that's with normal phone use (no games - you can have a psp for that, no music - you can have an ipod for that), mostly emails, browsing, IMs, calls/texts all day long also best battery life was 2d 10h (mostly on standby)

Despite being on awake you have 10+ hours of battery and seems like that awake didnt really drain your battery. However do install Better Battery Stats, free app from xda forum and see what is that rouge app keeping your phone awake.

Battery issues

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!

Maybe it is just me, but there is no screenshot on your post.
You need an advanced program like "wakelock detector" or "betterbatterystats" but all deep battery stats apps are using root, I think. Android system drains are mostly combined background wakelocks and you must be able to determine them first.
This is a bit of a shot in the dark but I recently had a severe battery drain issue with my N6 which turned out was caused by the new version of the Google app. It just showed up as increased Android system drain under battery usage.
I'm getting a higher than normal drain too, but cant track down exactly what the cause is in BBS or wakelock detector.
Its either Android OS or Android System is saying the keep awake is a few hours a day.
That's what threw me too is the Google app drain is lumped under Android System. Finally found it by reverting back to older versions of the apps I recently updated.

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.
