Hello to all,
I've received my phone yesterday
I've noticed that "Motorola Modality Services" subsystem uses location services using hardware GPS, which incurs "high battery use":

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
According to it's description:
"Motorola Modality Services helps your Motorola phone respond more intelligently to motion, phone orientation (e.g. face up/down) and stowed state (e.g in/out-of-pocket).
Note: Motorola Assist and Motorola Active Display use this service. Keeping it updated allows you to benefit from their latest features." I don't understand why this service needs to have access to location and morover why high accuracy is needed.
Is this normal?
I believe it's for the Driving and Home modes in Moto Assist. I have an issue with it automatically resetting to high accuracy even when I set it to battery saver mode under Location settings. No solution found to it yet other than manually setting it to battery saver each time I toggle location.

That's also what I guess, but it should be able to detect modes using only accelerometer and gyro. This
would be a much less battery intensive approach I think.

I installed the latest Google Maps app from the market. when I go to Menu->More "catch settings" is missing. Is Hero capable of caching maps for off-line use?
"Rather than having a static set of maps when installed, Maps will automatically start caching the areas you visit the most when your device is plugged in and connected to WiFi (e.g., the nightly charge)." You can't manually control caching, but it's an important first step toward an offline Google Maps.

I have seen it on youtube(couldn't find the video now) that Maps 5.0 has a menu for "Catche Settings". Go to this link you will see it.
Do you guys have this menu on your Hero's?

Offline map caching
The caching is not going to be done while you are using maps. Rather, it will wait until you have your device plugged in and on Wi-Fi to download your personalized map data. If you go to Menu > More > Cache Settings, you can see the current cache size, along with the option to clear it. Also, you can toggle Prefetch on Mobile to let the phone use cellular data to pull maps if Wi-Fi is not available. Google has committed to constantly improving the algorithm that generates your most used areas. We're going to be interested to see how this works out.

It doesn't support the vector rendering and therefore I don't think it supports the offline caching.
Hi there, until a few days ago I had great battery life with my Razr i, but I noticed that now it drains about 10 to 15% over night.
So I get BetterBatteryStats on the store but I am not really familiar with it, so I'm asking for your advices.
I can see that for a 7h25 period of time, my phone has been in Deep Sleep for 6h7 and Awake for 1h18.
1h18 is quite a long time so I guess the lead is good, but I can't really understand wich app is causing the issue.
Here are the sceernshots (next time I'll resize them :cyclops :

Ok as an update, wl1271_wake seems to be wifi activity, so I guess one of my apps is dealing with several transfers at night (1h08).
Any way to identify the app causing this ?
I thought about an app that monitors wifi and mobile data network activity, do you know a good one ?
Google now is disabled on my phone, but maps is not (I use it every day).
I don't remember having installed a new app or updated any app the day the issue appeared...
Another update :
What bothers me is the line "GTALK_ASYNC_CONN_com.google.android.gsf.gtalkservice.AndroidEndpoint", Google talk is disabled on my phone (and have been before the issue happens), any way to prevent this service to run ?
I guess it's included in "Google Services" and market/maps will not work anymore if I disabled it...
Anyways, not sure if the issue come from there as it's written to have ran for only 1m9 during the night.
Hi there.
I recently bought a moto x (att, although I use it in Argentina, should have chosen tmo for bootloader unlock I guess...).
From time to time (after some reboots or after a night of being in the charger, with wifi normally), I find it kind of hot.
Using OS monitor I saw that Google+ was using around 30% cpu (didn't notice if there were notifications or something).
When I open google+ it is kinda slow and normally has unread notifications in the bell.
If I swipe it off the recent app list, it gets fixed, until the next time it happens.
I tried wiping g+ data to no avail.
I now have set better battery stats and watchdog lite to monitor it more closely.
My phone is rooted on 4.4 and with xposed framework (attached picture for modules). I have now left only gravity box enabled just for the sake of it.
Any ideas? Googling around I saw some old posts of people with this issue but I think it was from 2012

do you use g+ for photo backup? That would be my first guess, though it shouldn't drain forever, only until photos are uplaoded.
I use it, but if I take photos, I don't see that much cpu use, I think.
Then again, I am using the option for smaller quality, if the phone does the conversion...
I will run some tests

It was not location sharing or auto backup.
No idea what it was, but it is gone after removing the updates from the app and returning to the version that comes with att's 4.4 rom

The setting for MOBILE NETWORK only locations is missing. Anyone know if it's just buried or did they take that setting out completely? Just got the OS 9 update a week or so ago. Medium battery saving still has GPS running. Battery drain is starting to happen. US AT&T Snapdragon version here.

I believe you can access it here, well for just GPS only.

Miscommunication going on with Limey. I do NOT want my GPS on at all but I found the article above already. No way to turn off the gps where you sent me. WTF GOOGLE?! Some of us do not want high accuracy turned on all the damned time. It sucks your battery life away! I went from more like 26+ to less than 20. Think about all those people out there that don't have 4000 Mah batteries? They are going to be @SS out if luck!
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:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
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.
