Hi, it's been two week or so that I'm using my moto x and I love it. However some issues make me sad, 1- it drain fast even in standby mode, for example at nights it drains more than 15 percent of its juice. 2- moto display is a charming function, but it turns the display on by any noise or movement, mostly when I'm driving, both driving mode turned on or off.
Anyone has the same problem here?
Similar thing happening with mine XT1092 as well.
Things were better before the Lollipop upgrade but after the update, phone has started waking up randomly on random noises, happens atleast 4-5 times a day.
Sometimes it feels like it gets allergic to some particular environment/atmosphere and ends up waking up 5-6 times in a row within 15-20 minutes.
Did anyone find any solution to make Moto Voice wok in more efficient, accurate and speedy?

I've been ROM-free for months now ever since this problem started but alas! Not even returning it to the stock using Sony's repair thing fixed it.
My phone has been rebooting at random moments and whenever I'm lucky enough to see it on, the battery status always changes. For example, I've recently charged it then put it in my pocket for a couple of hours, when I check it, I see the Sony Ericson logo and when it turns on the battery has completely gone from 90 to 20 something if I'm lucky and 3% or so if I'm not. This problem is often found when: I've left it in my pocket for even the slightest period of time, when someone's calling me (I can't even answer calls for more than a few seconds now because it always dies on me), and other random moments.
If it helps, the battery seems to be on fire every time it reboots itself. Thanks for any helpful suggestions and even for just reading.
i just got my Moto X updated last night (11/22/13 ) and so far i like it. I'm not sure if i plugged the phone back up overnight to charge it since i moved it from my normal spot on my night stand next to my bed to the kitchen counter when i started to download and update the phone. (wanted to be closer to the wifi for the download) so im not sure if the battery drain was from the new update or not plugging it in. I'm on At&t network btw. so far i haven't really noticed anything different except for the changes in the icons for locations service and settings button. the lock screen looks a bit "squattier" but i may have must not paid enough attention to it before. i normally use my phone as my music player at work and it has so far lasted me all day and not dropped to the 10% mark till way past time i should have been in bed having to be at work so early. so i will be interested to see if it makes better or worse battery life monday. when i noticed the battery was drained today i had been playing candy crush for about 45 mins and my normal usage for weekend and it was only down to 39%. oh and for the record i keep all the radios on except Bluetooth since i don't have any bt devices with auto brightness turned on as well. the notification bar icons are now all white. (formally they were blue with the signal bars and 4g icon turning white when it switched off Lte) lastley the "touch sounds" seem to be muted now to low to be noticeable if your not listening for them now. that's something i don't like as i dont have the greatest vision and the sounds actually helped me a lot. the update went smoothly and had actually forgotten about it until i got a call so i cant say for certain if the update took more than the 20 mins it said it would. how was your experience?
That's quite a wall of text there.
I'm also on ATT and just finished my first day with Kit Kat after the update last night.
I've not experienced any explicit problems.
After 17 hours my phone is at 31%, but I also had it on the charger for a short while this afternoon while i was exporting some photos. typically I'd be at about 30% by bed time with moderate use. I did use the GPS briefly and spent more time than usual away from wifi though. I also enabled android runtime. I'd give it a few days before I pass any judgement on battery life. Prior to the update I'd had a couple days which I had near 5 hours of screen time. That's impressive by it's self and I hope it continues, but those kind of days are rare for me.
Lol I typed it out on my computer originally. It didn't look like much but after seeing it on my phone...your right. Anyway I'm happy to report a full day of use and battery was only down to 19%.

My idle battery drain went way down on both my Nexus 7 and Moto X after the KitKat upgrade.
That's huge for me, because I often get busy at work and won't be able to touch/use my phone for long stretches, so it's nice to be able to carry my phone around for 6 hours but not have my battery life drop by 25% during that period.
Other than that, I'm happy. I wish they had kept the up/down arrows on the wifi signal. I do like the modifications to the haptic feedback, though - before, some of the vibrations were kind of rough and loud, many of them have been toned down.
Not liking kitkat, the dialer from jellybean that easily slid from logs to dialer to contatcs is gone. Im not likng the new dialer at all, the white theme it has drains more battery and is less easy on the eyes, google got it right with ics and jellybean theming most of the UI black, dialer also doesnt search for nearby places numbers like Nexus 5's dialer does, email app is good but again themed white, and a huge problem....setting the brightness all the way down isn't as low as jellybean was, this is a bug that needs to be fixed, the lowest brightness setting isnt low at all.
I have the phone for a week now and more and more it's shut down when I want to switch it on. I then have to press the power button a bit longer and it will then restart normally.
And there is something else that I think is strange (I just found out while testing because of the other issue). When I press the power button multiple times then sometimes it doesn't switch on again. After a wait of a few seconds and another press it switches on again.
Anyone else has these issues? Can I track why it switches off? Is there a log to see what happend before?
Only when it's cold
I noticed that the random shutdowns are not so random. It only happens when the phone is cold. I can put it 3-4 minutes outside (a bit below 0 degrees celsius) and it switches off every time.
When it's warm - it never happens.
Anyone else have this problem? what's the temperature range which it should work in? I never had that with another phone and it's really not that cold.
Not me, but it's not that cold here.
But it is coldest time since i have z3c and i noticed that in camera when switching from superior auto to manual, or anything it lags a bit when it's cold.
I couldn't find operating range for our battery but it looks like that most Li-Po batteries suffer when temps go below the 0C
I'm going to assume that's your case.
Standby phone = no heat being generated = available current dropping = phone shutting down

weird
thr s always process in background so the phone temp will be always above 0 C
unless the environment temp be too below 0C (like -20C)
contact service center and tell the story and please inform us here what s their response
:good:
Thanks for the inputs. I know that there is a limit on lower temperature for the batteries. But as I easily was able to restart the phone and it showed no strange value for the battery-power, I don't think it can be only this. Also - we had 5 other phones with us and they all worked in the same environment. I'll keep you posted what the service center answers...
I have been in low-temperature environments(-18,+4,0 C) I did not stay too long, but phone survived without any hassle
I am having a very similar issue. Since day 1, my phone randomly reboots especially during the night every 20 minutes or so, and i usually find it switched off in the morning when i wake up. I even had to go work late the first morning because I use the alarm of the phone to wake up and since the phone was switched off, the alarm didn't work.
Last week i went to ski. Up in the mountain, the phone was almost completely useless ( Tempererature was just below 0 C ). It was constantly rebooting in my pocket and shutting down every 5 minutes. Whenever i wanted to use it, the screen opened and as i unlocked the phone it rebooted, however if i continue to use it afterwards ( opened mobile data and gps, talking, etc. ), it did not reboot. So i thought that it might be due to battery getting too cold. Also, i realized the rebooting happens more frequently when i put the phone in a very low power usage state like Ultra Stamina or flight mode. ( I also put the phone in flight mode during the night when i go to sleep )
I have contacted Xperia Care. They assumed this might be a software malfunction and suggested resetting my phone using PC Companion. I played along and reset my phone but it didn't fix anything. I will call them again tomorrow. I am suspecting the battery itself is faulty or the background task that is supposed to heat up the battery is not working properly.
Update: : Appaerently the phone was in fact faulty. They changed it with a new one which is working pretty fine
Stock MM, rooted/Xposed/TWRP.
If I leave my phone sitting face up on my desk, sometimes the screen will come on for about 1-2 seconds for no apparent reason. It's not a full wakeup, because the screen times out really quickly.
It seems to be random, it only seems to happen a couple times a day.. honestly it's usually in my pocket so I wouldn't see it, so I'm not really sure how often it happens. So far it's happened twice in the 4 hours or so I've been sitting here.
I have all that "wave-over" stuff turned off.
I seem to remember it happening with LP too.
Granted, I'm only on day 4.. but still..
I've tried disabling LTE, simple watch-face, etc.. but can't get it to live for more then 12 hours without needing a recharge..
Do those of you reaching more then 12 hours use an always on screen? Gestures?
I did do a test overnight and it only dropped 20% (7 hours) - but my typical drop rate is much higher then that with casual use..
-mark
ps - I'm on-track for 12 hours again today, and that's with only having received ~3-4 email notifications which I just quickly dismissed in the past two hours so far..
For those that might be interested in this subject, I also posted it on reddit which seems to be getting much more traffic..

I just put mine on charge after 48 hrs with 3% left that is with screen always on off and only turning WiFi on when needed.I'm using mine tethered to my g6 without lte.
Firstly in my case I don't use LTE.
I've found having WiFi and gps switch on has made very little difference to battery life, as it's tethered anyway for this information.
I think the battery life has got better after a couple of weeks usage, and typically a full day has plenty left, nearly 50% on occasions.
Yesterday was a long day, and it managed 20 hours straight through
I usually get around 24 hours. But barely 24 hours (if I do anything except let my watch run idle on my wrist whole day, I don't hit the mark).
Screen always ON
NO SIM (doesn't even work in europe)
Always tethered to the phone
Tilt OFF
Gestures OFF
Location MIXED (decided to experiment a bit, seen no discernible difference in battery drain whether it was ON or OFF)
Watchface: Portions with 4 complications
First couple of hours is sleep tracking with screen turned off (but constant HRM sensor activity), which consumes slightly less than regular operation.
Today I turned always screen off and holy **** what a difference. After 12 hours I'm still at 80%. So the clear culprit of this is the screen. I think I will try to get used to this, it was wasting energy 99% of the time before anyway (I'm not looking it at it all the time).
I end up getting through the day at about 30 to 50% with everything on except for LTE which I toggle on and off during the rare occasions I need it. I usually use brightness 6 during the evening and 8 during the day, I find the auto-brightness too dim on every occasion. On the other hand I've had a few random days where it rapidly used it's battery and I was down to power saving in the afternoon. Havne't figured out what is happening when it occurs but when it happens my phone also rapidly drains. Other than that I wish I could increase the screen on time, it sometimes dims before I've done what I want to do and I feel like I have enough spare bat to burn a little more keeping it on longer.
My Answer, you don't. I leave everything on and charge it, like 3 times a day. I'm lucky because I have two others to swap to during charge, but I even bought a second charger for work when I do not have those available.
I simply do not want to reduce any features of the watch, so I charge it often. That's just what it is if you ask me, you're not going to miraculously get this thing working for 2 days, simple as that. So use it big, and charge it often!

Is there a faster way to toggle cellular on and off other than going into settings?

Not that I know of and for me it's a double downer, when I use the watch standalone I don't need bluetooth. I menu dive to switch both and then revert when I'm done. The radios should be available from the pull down quick settings IMO, it would be enough to have an icon there to open them all and you could toggle those you need from there. Considering the wasted space on that pull down it becomes a bit of a what were they thinking issue...
Hi guys i'm interested about lg watch sport here in europe and i'm willing to buy from ebay korean model. My cuestion is can i use it completly without pairing to phone with sim inside. Can i set it up without cell phone? How about using facebook, viber ( making VOIP calls) email etc... thanks

You need to pair with phone initially. It also makes it easier to copy your accounts over to the watch. After you set it up, you don't need your phone anymore BUT if you keep it on cellular the watch isn't going to last.

From my time with the watch it appears that having cellular on has little impact on battery life as long as you're within range of your phone. The part that does affect battery life with cellular on is IF you're in an area with just complete sucky cell signal to start off with. (IE my workplace) that will kill battery.
I had battery draining issues at work even with cellular off at work but I figured out that although on my phone when connected to work wifi I can get to the play store on my phone but on my watch it can't get to the playstore or communicate with google. My assumption is the watch is draining because the google play services can't connect/sync with google therefore causing it to stay awake and drain. Watch battery life has been much better when I disable wifi on my phone BUT now my phone drains a little faster because it's not on wifi.
Bluetooth Autoconnect app has been a lifesaver when having watch/phone/BT headset/BT car connected. You can set up profiles and priorities so that the car/headset/headphones take over the call duties so you can hear phone calls through those devices instead of the watch.
I'm still getting used to life having to sift through the menus to disable and enable radios but you're right. There needs to be an easier and faster way.
