[Q] Moto X not enabling "battery saver".

I'm not sure if others have had this problem, but I updated to 4.4 a while back. I've never ever had problems with battery life on my phone. It lasts about a day comfortably. However, I decided to see if I could get better battery life out of it today by enabling "battery saver", as I haven't really ever noticed a degraded performance by doing so on any of my phones. Upon doing so, I flipped the switch and scrolled away to find that it immediately kicked off. I've cleared my cache and am running with dalvik runtime for stability. Has anyone else encountered an issue, or possibly a solution? I'm avoiding a factory data reset, as I'd rather deal with the problem than have to start over fresh.

Have you disabled Motorola Assist or anything? The battery saver uses assist to work.

[Q] Android OS and Kernel taking a lot of battery

Hello, I have a Moto X second generation XT1097 (from Brazil). And I received the update to lollipop recently. For a few days it was ok, but then it started draining battery like crazy. I used to get at least 16 hours with 4h30 of screen time, and now I am barely getting to 10, with less then 3 hours sot. The other people with this version of the phone here in Brazil didn't get this problem (according to motorola forum owners). My phone is not rooted, and I don't want to root it, because I heard I will lose the warranty. I downloaded Gsam battery monitor to try and find out what's the problem, and apparently the biggest drainners are kernel and android OS (16% and 10% respectively). I've searched a lot of people with similar problems on the internet and tried to factory reset it, (and reset it from the recovery too, if that makes any difference. Even without installing the apps it drains very quickly). I also tried updating the play store app manually, as apparently that has helped some people. Still nothing. I'm keeping the wifi off right now, and GSAM indicates the battery decrease rate got to 0, but got to -10%/hour again after some time. Can someone please help me? I've read something about static and dynamic IP, that might cause this, how can I solve that? And if I solve it, that menas that it will only work for my home wifi? Because my university's wifi doesn't give me any better battery either. I'm almost about to return it to the manufacturer, someone please help.

Facing the same issue. Did not factory reset yet.

Is yours XT1097 too?
The factory reset doesn't really help at all...

[Q] Help! Phone restarting itself at night. Weird battery behavior

Hi all, I've been having serious problems with my pure edition Moto X. Practically since I bought it, a month ago. The phone is stock and without root. The phone restarts itself every night, one or more times. I have tried leaving the phone in safe mode, with or without internet connection and even in battery safe mode and it keeps happening. I also tried to clean cache from recovery and doing a factory reset without consequences. The rest of the day the phone works without any issues.
The most weird thing is the battery stats graph the phone shows after this happens. I attached a screen capture of that. It seems like the phone reads that the battery suddenly drops to zero and stays that way for several hours until it restarts and get a normal reading again. I'm thinking that maybe it has something to do with the battery or the system reading the battery level wrong.
I will greatly appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!

If it's happening in safe mode, than I'd exchange it on warranty.

Is there anyway to manually reinstall lollipop? Maybe something went wrong in the update. If it was a hardware problem it should do it at any tine, right?

Have you tried to factory reset from recovery mode? Also you need to calibrate your battery once a month. Solved my same problem.

Recent battery drain after upgrade to LMY48M

Hi
I recently upgraded to LMY48M (flashed it) on my Nexus and I've been getting this battey drain issue where the battery is draining really quickly, almost half the original life.
I tried googling this issue and learned that this in fact is an issue almost everyone is facing with LMY48M. Is there any fix for this?

I am on that build and not having any issues. You might try booting into recovery and clear cache/dalvik.

Sadly this fixed nothing. Battery still drains after clearing cache.
I know for a fact this isn't a hardware problem though because it works fine on LMY48i

I had same issue and did a factory reset and its fixed it.

Radio active bug...,I flashed mine back to 5.1 and everythings fine again.

Have you tried to figure out what's causing the battery drain? There are plenty of tools available to help you determine what's draining your battery. It could be any number of things and you've given us nothing that will allow others to help you.

I don't know a lot about this I'm also new to the forums and don't know how stuff works and what I need to 'provide' in order for you to help me. Kindly name 'those number of applications' that can help me?
OT: I cleared the cache partition and it fixed the problem minorly but still didn't make it perfect like it used to be.
Also factory reset which again; might've helped but only a bit because the battery although is better than it used to be, but still isn't running perfect like its suppose to.

Nothing to figure out there. Radio stays active, even when youre in wifi. I only flashed 5.1 and it went away, just as I wrote in my comment.

"Radio active" is meaningless, since the radio is on a separate chip from the CPU.
Go into your battery screen, tap on the graph, check the WIFI activity bar. I've occasionally seen it where if you turn on your wifi AT ALL, and then turn it off, it keeps on being "on" until you reboot.
You can also go into your wifi advanced settings and turn OFF "Scanning always available". Not sure if that fixes the problem of it staying on or not, but doing that also is likely to help with wifi power consumption.

According to BBS, GSAM, and the native battery monitor, my radio isn't on all the time using LMY48M.

Phone dying at 15-20% battery?

Has anyone seen this happening on their MotoX? i have an XT1096 and mine has been doing this for a while. at about 15% it will shut down and then won't startup because it says the batter is dead. i have tried killing it multiple times to see if it would reset the battery stats, but it doesn't seem to work.
any suggestions?

Same here (XT1092), annoying AF
If someone have a workaround please share it with us

I have a XT1097 and is the same here, some timer it shuts off with 30% of battery.
My phone is completely stock, I did a master reset on it, but it becomes better for just a couple of days...

It happens to me too sometimes, but usually i can tell it's going to happen because it drains normally until about 15% and then the battery level just stops going down. When that happens i usually plug it in so it doesn't die

Same Problem
I had the same problem with my XT1096. I complained to Moto about it. They told me to factory reset it. I did and it was fine for a month and then started happening again. When I complained again they gave me a warranty replacement. Which worked great for a month or so and then started doing the same thing. So, I got the unlock code from them, unlocked it and installed the ROM found in this thread to upgrade to Marshmallow. When I flashed it I took the advice in the thread not to allow Google to reinstall all my apps, so I started fresh. I not only haven't had the problem again, but with MM I'm getting insane battery life. I now finish the day with %50 battery instead of %20, aka shutdown. Very happy with it. So if you don't want to unlock your phone and mess with the ROM I would at least suggest giving a factory reset and NOT allowing Google to reload everything this time. That may or may not work. But I've heard that sometimes allowing Google to restore your phone can keep problem settings apps, etc that were causing the issue in the first place. YMMV.

if you see a vertical bar in your battery stats, meaning battery went from 20 straight to 0, that mean your battery is gone. i had this problem on my galaxy note edge and changing battery solved it. dont know about this phone though

I had the same problem. Have stock 6.0 + rooted XT1092. All I did to solve the issue is to let the battery drain completely to 0% until the phone shuts off and then charged it to 100% for the whole night without switching it on and with a slow charger that came with my Moto 360 v1. I know it might ruin the battery but doing this once or twice won't cause any harm. Do not turn on the battery saver mode. Somehow that is the main cause of this problem until you calibrate. Now the issue is completely resolved without resets and changing the battery.
Moto X 2014 XT1092

Same here for a XT1085 (China variant).
I have contacted Moto Support and replaced "motherboard" what they called, and it costs me 200CNY because they told me there was some liquid mark in charging port.
AND NOTHING CHANGED AFTER THIS REPLACEMENT.
