I have researched extensively for the past couple days for a fix, and found nothing substantial. Most say a factory reset works, but that has not helped me. I started out rooted with the hotspot mod on 27a.. Took the OTA no problem after restoring the original hotspot. I noticed my slow charge the next day, figuring it was a fluke or some random app causing it I tried a factory reset. That did not solve the issue. I then thought maybe it was a bad update file so I used the tot method and went back to 11a. I logged in my Google, did not restore and followed the OTA path back to LP from there. Still had slow charge issues so I decided to try to root and install twrp so I could try a different Rom. I did a full wipe including sdcard and installed LPextreme 1.1 and at that point reinstalled xposed and the beta g3tweaksbox. I still have slow charging issues... It shouldn't take 6 hours to charge from 68% to full.. Tried different chargers and the best is actually my wireless qi charger, which will charge from 72%ish to full in 2.5 hours... I really like LP but if I can't find a fix I might have to stay on KK... Does anyone have some ideas as to what may fix this problem? Factory reset and tot back to stock 11a don't work.

Another side note.. The lollipop extreme rom has an awesome battery life... Took my phone off charge at noon today at 100% battery, and the screenshot shows my battery stats...

Now if I could only charge at a decent rate everything would be awesome.

Yes but not all g2s are exhibiting the slow charge bug... My wife's g2 was set up almost identical to mine and she does not suffer the slow charging bug.. Hers charges a little slower than KK but waaaay faster than mine.

Unfortunately, with it being a known issue, it will be virtually impossible to troubleshoot it.

when DC v2.08.1 came out i downloaded it just like all the other DC ROMS prior. At first i noticed some improvements in battery and performance, but after a few days of using it i decided to check what has been using the battery in settings.. this is what i came across

crazy thing is i hadn't used the camera that day... i monitored it for the next few days and still no matter what i do on the phone throughout the day, it always shows these same stats.. the great thing about all this is my battery would last past 24 hours no matter what i did on the phone..
i ended up flashing DC v2.09.1 (cause im a flashaholic) and couldn't get the same results.. well i decided to nandroid back to 2.08.1 but i lost the battery performance i was getting before... when i checked whats been using the battery, it would show normal things that i've used and cell standby and phone idle would be back to about 40% each... so i decided to wipe and reflash DC v2.08.1.. low and behold, after about 3 days, its back to 96% camera, 2% cell standby, and 2% phone idle.
my question is does anyone know how, or why this is happening?? im loving how long my battery last and the speed of my phone because of this.. i just wanna make sure it stays like this.. or maybe how to make this happen on other ROMs cause im sure im gonna flash another one again soon...
(oh and by the way, im not missing any phone calls, text messages, or emails.. everything is working perfectly)
It happened to me a few times while on dc, rebooting would set it back to normal.
I read around here somewhere that ir wasit was a sense bug..i forget where...
I don't have any useful information sadly.

rebooting doesnt change anything for me (which is a good thing)..
Now that you mention it, I had the same experience, yet didn't realize it at the time, being new to rooting/roms/etc...i have lately been using stock 2.1 rooted without updating..and really noticed the difference in battery life. Got me thinkin' now.
So since the update to 4.4.2 on Verizon with the new battery life update, my battery lasts about 6 hours, and also I keep losing my softkeys, have to keep rebooting to get them back. Just curios if anyone else is having this problem??, I emailed motorola today and they saiid that no one else is having this problem. and told me to try turning my phone off and back on and see if that helps. Does anyone think that smashing my phone and filing an insurance claim to go back to 4.4 a good Idea?
Yes, insurance fraud is a great idea! By the way, no such issues on my VZW Dev Edition. Same ROM, just with an unlockable bootloader.

Insurance fraud is illegal. And I'm betting you haven't even tied a factory reset.

I have not had the issue with the softkeys... but I have had horrible battery life! 5.5 hours today and I was from 100% to 0%. My phone always feels very hot. In my pocket it feels like I have handwarmers. It's not like I played a game at all today for more than 5 minutes, or talked on the phone for a long time. It was less than average usage and horrible battery life.
Getting fantastic battery here. Stock 4.4.2 unrooted

Load gsam to try to figure out what is eating your battery. I had a similar issue after 4.4.2 upgrade, discovered that wifi was really running hard (turned it off, also found a box down in settings to turn off where apps can use wifi even with wifi off). I also found my email account was eating my battery. I killed my account and loaded k-9 email. Now battery is fantastic.
My battery is getting drained pretty rapidly. I'll try shutting off Wi-Fi whenever I'm not near a hotspot and see if that fixes things.

No issues here following update, backup your stuff and factory reset the phone.

I had the same issue with my battery the day after my 4.4.2 update. I contacted Motorola and they asked me to clear the cache partition. I did this to make them happy but I actually fixed my issue. Hopefully it works for you too.
So i had already already done the wipe and factory reset. The only thing that fixed this was the clearing of the cache as far as the battery life. Also I found that the loss of the soft keys was from after use of team viewer and clash of clans apps after I hit the home button to get out. When I closed the app on exit I haven't had anymore problems losing the soft keys. This ones was more of my own stupidity. Ha thanks for the help

Out of curiosity, to the peeps posting pics of their battery status; what was your screen time?
OK I know phones put out heat but not with the simplest of tasks. I mean this is ridiculous if I play a game on it it gets smoking hot. My wife's nexus 6 doesn't even get warm and my s 5 I traded in for this barely got warm even with heavy use. Now onto the battery omg it drains faster than a 454 wide open does anyone have any advice or work around that actual work to improve both of these issues I am rooted have greenify, and tibu with some bloat frozen but still no noticeable difference thanks in advance
Oh yeah did I mention that the signal sux ass I'm constantly loosing lte coverage and it takes forever to even load the playstore....
I can literally sit here on the lowest brightness, everything disabled and watch the battery percentage go down. On super light use (navigating settings etc) it's warm.
Tried stock... or on clean rom...same.
Just charged to full, did a factory reset..Started fresh no restore and it went from 100% to 94% in less than 8 minutes. Is this a joke? Lol yeah this one is going back! Oh and those 8 minutes we're very very light use..just navigating phone.

I've been up for 3 hrs and I'm down to 52% I am using my tether but that's it. Think I might take this back and try the edge or another s6...I heard lollipop 5.1 is suppose to fix these issues any buddy have an info what so ever on the problems causing this. I love the phone but something needs to happen here and fast

3 hours tethering and you only lost 48%? That's pretty good. Tethering uses your cell data (battery kilker) and constant WiFi (battery killer) while keeping the CPU out of deep sleep to process routing for the tethered devices.
Yeah I know it eats battery, I don't have Internet where I live so tether is all I get it blows I'm also comparing to my wife's nexus 6 and my s 5 which both never dropped at this rate.
I get as good battery life as my N6, which is not as much as I'd like, but it's good enough. It's 2 and I've only dropped my phone on wireless charging for a few mins, and it's at 74%.

Hi Guys,
I have a very awful battery with my phone. See, even it discharge nearly 50% when I sleep at 12midnight (100% charge), when I woke up it already has below 50% battery. The phone is completely on a factory state, Poland Firmware 4.4.4 Kitkat. I even have bought a new OEM original battery and it just performs the same.
Also I noticed that cpu usage (developer options) are very high, but when I restart the phone it averages to 2.0/1.5/0.8 or something near to that values.
Do i have a problem with any of the following?
1. Bootloader
2. Kernel - but why it drains even if turned off
3. hardware
4. battery - unlikely because it is brand new. bough it around $30.
5. firmware
6. Baseband
7. Modem
I dont know, I've been looking around but cant solve this dilemma

You have exactly the same problem as mine?
I also got this phone I9305 4.4.4 ...... Using Anker 2200mAh battery and use wifi after every 5-10 Minutes and the battery timing for me is not that Good and not even bad
Strange. I don't think this could be a software issue, in this situation I mean firmware. Because, you tried several ROMs including stock and custom, and problem appear. Also as you told, you bought a new battery and the issue still occur. I am curious why it is draining even turned off. In my opinion, this is hardware problem, the mobo is faulty.

Do you try to watch what is using your battery with GSam, WakeLock Detector (WLD) or Better Battery Status (BBS)?
Someone asked a similar question, but the last reply is a year old and the last reply was about settling. I don't want to just settle if I don't have to, I'm curious as to why.
Decided to try using a Droid 4 again, and I've been running into what killed me off of it in the first place: serious battery level issues.
It seems that every custom ROM I try has a broken battery meter:

This is CM 13 or 14 (Marshmellow or Nougat), I don't remember. Was actually looking for a different screenshot and realized that this had what I needed too
(I dont know CM versions as well,so please excuse me if I'm naming them wrong)
I'd say that its a battery problem, but If I go back to stock this doesn't happen (90% sure on that. I'm in the process of doing some more testing and actually documenting things. Wanted to toss something out while I wait for file transfers to see if anyone else gets this.
I think I once used a modified stock rom and it worked without battery cliffs either. This is my second D4, and the first had the same jumps in battery too.
To be fair, the same thing started happening with my HTC Thunderbolt, albeit on stock and a bit more drastically.

Try resurection remix it works pretty good on my droid 4. Its the unnofficial version ported to the droid 4 by transil. It is in the development section for this device. Also if you use bettery battery stats you can get the apk here on xda. You can use this apk to see what is draining your battery.
