I accidentally updated my phone to 4.4.4 about 2 weeks ago(didn't want to update b/c i do not like the new dialer). For the first week i didn't notice any difference in the phone. The past week though my phone's been dying very quick compared to normal the two biggest users are the screen and voice calls as usual so I am not sure what this is due to. I would like to figure this out though as it is beginning to become a problem.
Need as many screen shots as you can post to help.
If you're rooted, then we can see wakelocks too.
Try Gsam, it says miles more than the stock battery usage screens. Go from 100 percent to about 10 and take the screen shots. No reboots during, or Gsam will reset.
If you aren't rooted... Will be a little harder.
If you want to maximize your battery, see the first 4 posts in the Battery thread in my signature. It's for the N5...but it all applies to the Moto as well. ?

Nothing in your screenshots seem out of place.
What are you doing in those 8 minutes? And what screen brightness?
I'm thinking it's your usage, that's all.
Without seeing wakelocks, it's hard to find issues. According to your graph though, your phone seems to sleep well.
Is location on? Google now? Are you using the options in Android device manager? Is location reporting on? Those are all battery eaters.
If you play a game for 8 minutes, with the screen bright, or even leaving it on auto brightness in a well lit spot... Would be completely normal to use 12 percent.
---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------
For the screen to use 49 percent of your battery in 13 hours, with only 2 hours screen time, tells me it's running very bright.
Keeping it dimmer, and adjusting manually would probably cut the drain down a lot.
I use "display brightness" from the play store. Very customizable and you get a slider always on your screen.
In that time is just text messages and yes the screen brightness is auto. But like I said this is draining it nor then it has in the past. I don't use Google now, or location services.

Please try Gsam... Even without root. Go from 100 to about 10 and post screens from it. Including kernel wakelocks and the "screen" screen. ?
Just texting, that's a lot of drain. Especially if you have those things off completely. Location especially. Is it off, or you just aren't using it to your knowledge?

Location services can be linked to all sorts of battery issues. The first step is turning it right off to see if the problems stop. Then go from there. ?
My European Moto X also drains within 10 hours of moderate use. Also for me, the screen uses about 40% of the battery while I have almost no screen on time. could this be the Active Display feature that is draining the phone?
my phone is bricked ... anyone have AT&T 4.4.4 ?

In addition I've used a2dp audio stream for an hour or so. I'll do a full screenshot of all the on times later.
Still very low usage scenario. Battery looking good. @22hrs 40% with updated screenshots above.
Final Result only took me to 15% with 1 Day 16 Hours. Screen on time 3hr 16mins. Needed a full battery for the day and couldn't risk it but atleast it's a general ballpark. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/oaj33ji9kssx5rt/BFiLIz-Jef
40 Hours is still pretty good for light usage. During a busy working day i would be happy with 9 hours max usage.

It looks ok with almost 2h of BT streaming calls + 2h of music. Other results in thread seem more "realistic" (if you don't use BT). Let's wait for more feedback. If it could make 4-4.30h screen on for me, that means with custom kernel and UC it could easily hit 5h or more. *thinking out loud*

Here's my reply from the previous thread...
Well you say it's disappointing but I disagree;
If you look at the screenshots you will see how much battery has been taken by the voice calls compared to screen on time;
30% of the total battery use was from the 3hr47m for screen on time but...
A whopping 26% for only 1hr28m of voice call time! If we use that ratio and just double it (assuming all network strength was the same) you'd likely lose 52% of your battery in just under 3 hours...(this is just an estimation based on my results btw).
I honestly don't understand the hard-on people get for screen on time when voice calls seem to drain the battery much much harder... doesn't anyone use their device as a phone anymore?
Also if you take into consideration how bad my signal was the battery life I had today was all the more impressive.
A Random Afterthought:
IF that 26% that were used on Voice calls were used for screen on time...although realistically it'd probably be something like 17-20% with the rest on random android processes and processor usage; the screen on time could easily be above 5 hours possibly pushing 6 with bad signal and no wifi O_O...
Well nexus 4 with Trinity kernel gets 6-7 hours so with nexus 5 I expect around 8 hours on a custom kernel and stock should get around 5 hours which is pretty darn good.

shr33kant,
The battery performance results you have are perfectly acceptable for a typical phone user that uses the phone for calls, web surfing, google services, movies etc. I only get 2 to 2hr. 15mins on my N4 with typical phone usage as you. So the N5 is basically getting better battery performance then the N4. :good:
On my old Note, when looking at battery usage (and on my nexus 7), "Screen" was always the top listed user of battery life, and below that were apps that i'd been using.
This couldn't be farther from reality on my note 3, however!
Right now:
47% - not charging. 1d 12h 8m 15s on battery
Google Play Services - 59%
Android OS - 9%
Cell Standby 7%
Screen 7%
Granted, I am not using the phone very heavily (obviously), and I have no complaints about the battery usage (I've been skipping nights of charging because-I-can with this, which I could never do before). I just don't understand why it's showing so much battery usage as being due to Google Play Services...
Is this:
a) A problem with my phone that could be remedied (how?), resulting in even more ridiculously long battery life
b) The battery usage numbers are bull****, at least for low overall usage.
c) Normal - Samsung's engineers are miracle workers and managed to make a very efficient screen
d) Normal - Google Play Services is a huge battery hog in general.
If it's d), can anything be done to rein it in? The potential battery life without that drain is so tempting!

A. go to settings, connections, location services, either turn it off or turn it off and on again but disagree with the google pop-up. Google is constantly waking your phone up to log your location to "better your experience/better ads"

So it's the "Use Wireless Networks" option under location services, then? That one can't be checked off without agreeing to the popup. Let's see if that improves anything.

53% of how much time? 1 to 3 hours, no worries. Up to 6 or 7 hours up time probably an issue. More and definitely a problem. It is a matter of perspective. 50% of an hour is 30 minutes while 50% of 10 hours is 5 hours. It is hard to tell if there is a problem with these high percentages if they are based on short total time.
Sorry if that is long winded, but hope you get what I am trying to say.
1%/hour is not bad if there is some use time on it. If it was during down time, still not bad but shoot for .5 to .8.

I get exactly what you saying.
1 day 10 hrs uptime, 53% on Swype + Dragon (well, 49 now, after doing some battery hungry stuff). Tapping that entry shows:
CPU total: 3h 3m 49s
Stay awake: 1d 4h 47m 28s
Data sent: 38.1 kb
Data received: 42.83 kb
1 day 10 hours is not bad but with only 3 hour and x minutes of screen time, I think you have an issue. I get between 1 day and 15 to 17 hours with 5.5 to 6.5 hours screen time. (edit:There are days I get worse and some days better. Depends on where I am at and what I am doing) Usually with 2 to 3 hours of music. Of course a lot of variables contribute to the difference between our results.
Try doing a battery pull and then keep track of a full charge cycle and see what happens.
Edit 2: just reread your post and saw that swype/dragon shows awake for 1 day 4 hours. Have you tried a different keyboard to see what happens? Is Dragon the speech to text program?

Yeah, for some reason swype now comes bundled with some speech recognition feature I never use.
The problem with a different keyboard is that I am practically paralyzed on my phone without swype I don't know how I used a phone without it. I'd have to set this up for a test when I'm not going to be using the phone much.
It's bad enough to be talking to my phone when i'm making a call, I don't want to be talking to myself when i'm not making a call. I think everyone looks crazy when they're on hands-free barking orders to their phone - where I live, you see a lot of people talking on hands free, but you also see a lot of crazy bums talking to themselves, and you can't tell them apart if they have a hat on, cause it hides the headset, except by judging how expensive their clothes are - and even then, hipster and homeless look pretty similar....

I disabled some of the permissions (location, read contacts, post notification) from Swype in AppOps.
I don't know if this was what fixed the issue, or whether Swype wound up in a "wakelock" through some one-time event.
Now, I'm seeing the screen at the top of battery usage, like it's supposed to be. Can't yet quantify the improvement in battery life, as I was using the phone more heavily the past 2 days since I charged it.
This phone is psycho. I thought my battery drain was fixed..but nope. Android OS is again killing it. My phone won't sleep. Better battery stats and wakelock detector doesn't tell me why. .in 11 hours my phone has been awake like 6 hours..While being in my pocket.

I'm experiencing some pretty poor battery life and can't seem to figure out what to do to make it any better. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Attached are screenshots detailing a typical day for me. Running stock 4.4.4 not rooted.
Need more details from the battery screen so we can we got often it's awake and what your service signal is over that time period. Also download better battery stats.
Here's a post about your top kernel wakelock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36736462&postcount=7049
Not really an issue.
And without root, you can view your app wakelocks, which make solving battery issues very difficult.
If you can't root, I suggest you start by turning location services completely off. Only use it when you need it, then off again. See if that helps. It's likely an app, or combination of apps... Especially social apps, exploiting location services.
Start there. And if you can root... We can see your app wakelocks and finding the issue could be far easier. ?

If your signal is ever low while on data, not WiFi... That can drop your battery level extremely quick.
I have been experiencing similar thing.. I'm at 19% now and 9hours 17 min. I am rooted running 4.4 has been declining for quite sometime..I also have noticed I've only had 2 bars at home..? Not an extremely have user but more than average.
Slapped my Moto
Here's another example of a typical day for me that I took a while back. Anything look out of the ordinary? Didn't take a kernel wakelock one that day.
As I said, you need gsam root companion and then post times held awake and times waking device. Those are the important screens to see. And after a long discharge. A short time frame screen shot won't tell the story as well.
Without those we can only guess here.

We're hijacking this thread.
Run from 100 to 10 or 15 percent left and take the screen shots in gsam. The main screen, and app screen and in app screen click the drop down and take shots of times waking device and held awake time.
No reboots or gsam resets.
Best to post tho in the battery thread in general. Or even the one in my signature. Just specify your device if you do that.
This thread is someone else's. ?
My moto x has been doing the same thing for the last two weeks or so. I'd burn through the battery down to about 10% in 10 hours with less than an hour of screen time.
Last night I decided not to plug my phone in to the charger when i got home. I used the phone throughout the night until i went to bed. The phone was literally stuck at 1% for about 25 minutes of use right before i went to bed. I woke up this morning and the phone was still on at 1%. It did die moments later. I think the battery stats are not calibrated correctly, but I'm not really sure. I'm going to try running it down to 0% a few times and see what happens.

I'm experiencing some pretty poor battery life and can't seem to figure out what to do to make it any better. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Attached are screenshots detailing a typical day for me. Running stock 4.4.4 not rooted.

I just want to help you in order to get good battery life..
These are the common mistakes that I made which causes battery drain-->
location on high accuracy, full brightness, WiFi always on, sync always on, screentime out minimize to 5s in order to save battery, Data enabled & Bluetooth always on..
Above shown are examples which leads to battery drain ..I personally use greenify(non-root) to stop running apps in background.. I have seen significant change in battery life by using this type of apps
As I said, for most helpful battery tips, and help if anyone wants it.... Go here.... Posts 1 to 4 are the important ones...
[Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!
Just specify your device for help, if not an N5. ?
I generally do a factory reset every six months or so and that significantly increases battery life. Not as good as the first few months but that's too be expected with an aging device w/o a removable battery

Just wanted to update after having a similar problem and letting my phone go all the way down to zero and automatic shutdown.
I charged my phone at work today and did not pull it off the charger until around noon. After having similar stats as the OP today is a different story.
I'm at 12 hours with 41% left. 1 hour 7 minutes of screen time. For the last couple of weeks I was often down to 15% after 12 hours or less.
I've been the same..I just spent the 25 for sunshine to unlock my boot loader and flashed a new kernel..

Roms and kernels make only minor battery life differences.... If any.

As I said, you need gsam root companion and then post times held awake and times waking device. Those are the important screens to see. And after a long discharge. A short time frame screen shot won't tell the story as well.
Without those we can only guess here.

There is no way to root if I am on stock 4.4.4 right now, correct? XT1060 on Verizon
I'm on stock, and here are the pictures.
I heard people are getting incredible battery life so that they can use their phones for like two days. I'm just wondering if I'm getting the full battery life or if something is eating it up. I have Sync NFC and all those things turned off.
Thanks!
Something going crazy with urs.

Can I see your percentage for battery? Like how much each apps use.
and do you use power saving?

I use Xposed with Greenify to hibernate apps. Extends the battery life tremendously.

No power save. That gave me less battery. As far as it goes you need to see what apps are killing ur phone. Screen time on is key cause it means you are using ur phone. So you need to start with better battery stats and see what's going on.

Find out what app is waking yoour phone. That is what is most likely the problem . 99% of the time its an app or user error . Wakelock detector . Or cpu spy to see if your phone is deep sleeping or not .
Hope that helps cause I highly doubt your phone is deep sleeping with drain like that . You need to find what app is keeping it awake

Also see how much you are draining per hour while the device screen is off . If you are using it for 5 or 6 hours with the screen on then that isnt bad . With moderate use I charge my battery every other day.
Every other day? I can barely get by one day.
I did a complete reset, and the battery life got better. I'm at 45% with 3hours screen time so i don't know waht the problem was..
and how would you found out what is waking up my phone?
Thank so much for the replies!
I didn't have great battery life either.. But I see that Google play music runs in the backround constantly, I end up closing it like ten times a day.. I froze that app and it made a HUGE difference for me at least.. If you don't use it give it a try

Hellow everyone,
I hope by now many of us have already flashed the developer preview of Android M.
This thread is dedicated to the Battery life of Nexus 5 (Hammerhead) on the developer preview build of Android M.
Please share your battery life experience, SoT, and how much battery is saved in the new "Doze" state.
Where is Doze in the preview? I had mine sleeping all night last night where do you look for it

But where is your sot?
It's only been out 24 hours. You need to give it at least a few charge cycles before even thinking about comparing battery life!
Last week I swapped in a new OEM battery manufactured this January after 18 months of use having a launch day device. Hopefully with that and this new M battery optimizations I'll regain my KitKat battery life.

It's a new feature involving what's essentially decreased sync rates when the phone hasn't beet touched in a while. Its automatic, and not something you can turn on. In the settings, you can disable the feature on an per-app basis.
---------- Post added at 02:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------
Oh yeah, and as krs360 said, its so new, battery state is a bit wonky right now and itll take a few cycles to have a sense of how the optimizations change things. Personally, my phone's battery life has taken a huge hit these first two cycles.
After 5 hours of my normal usage, I'm at 80% still. Pretty damn good if you ask me. Better than the usual 50-60%.

Same here. Coming up on first full 24 hours on M. So far better than stock Lollipop for me. Idle drain has been much lower.

Guys, here you can see my results today.
I unplugged the phone at 7am, then music from speaker for about 20 minutes, mid volume. WiFi.
From 7.30 am to 14.30 (2.30 pm), I have been under 4G.
In this period, I've used Facebook, Chrome, and listened to music from Spotify in streaming (headphones), 10 minutes of Youtube.
From 14.30 to 18.30 I've been under WiFi, Facebook and Chrome.
From 18.30 to 20.30 under 3G, Facebook and Chrome again.
I have used 169 MB of data by 3G/4G. 2h of screen, Google Now activated, localization on Save Battery mode, downloaded an app. During the day, I have been syncing Gmail, Kik, Whatsapp, Twitter, Facebook. I have chatted via Whatsapp for hours.
Manual luminosity, around 1/3.

Sure! I have edited my post.
My phone was draining pretty fast due to Chrome being awake for too long. Waiting for root so I can use greenify and control some apps I have.

Are you kidding? Lollipop is only starting to get stable as far as battery. Why do I need another half-baked O/S?

Mine has been brutal on the N6, Google services reporting 36% battery drain although I suspect it is being misreported.
Mine is about 30-50% worse, but I'll give it a few more days. Chrome and Google Play Services seem to love keeping the radio active. To be fair, my signal was iffy today (driving around), so I wasn't on Wifi at all.
