I am very interested in results with Marsmallow.
Anybody has results of the battery drain during a night sleep? And I mean really sleep.
And with which options on/off, like wifi, blutooth, Location etc.
Mine is now 2.1% / hour in 8 hours. Not using the phone at all of course. Wifi on, Bluetooth on, Smartwatch on, Location off and auto update off.

Airplane mode on, WIFI on , sleep policy off.
18 Hours / 40 Percent
WIFI 42%
Phone Idle 35%
Display 13%
I ran my OG droid at home with wifi on since it came out and usage on the OG was typically 2-3% of battery. What gives?
Thanks,
alan

My battery is not the best either, and I think it's the WiFi scanning too frequently (if not constantly). I need to run more tests, but I feel like if you are not connected to a WiFi signal, you should turn WiFi off immediately. That's what I'm seeing anyways.
I have my phone switch over to WiFi when I'm @ home (I use Locale to automagically do it for me) and shut off when I'm away. I also have the search for open networks unchecked in the WiFi settings. I figure the constant scanning has to be eating up some batt.
I suggest using an app like auto wifi toggle just checks for wifi every so often then turns it off if it is not found and if you have no wifi connection it turns off as well.

Open Network notify is turned off, and I do use the native wifi toggle. Wifi on at home, airplane mode for the 3g/LTE enabled.
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Moto Z Force's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Drained like crazy
Got my Z Force yesterday and decided to test standby over night. What I got was 25% drain from 100 in 8 hours. The standby drain was cell standby. I'm hoping it will settle down but that's not good.

My cell standby is very low. Hopefully yours settles down.
Mine is very low as well. Even with low signal, I'm only dropping 30% or so throughout the course of a day with mild use.
Im getting around 5% drain while sleeping. Typically 5 hours a night so roughly 1% an hour
Be sure to turn wifi scanning off in "Location" - it appears to really drain and can end up keeping your phone awake. My first few days I had really bad drain but turning that off and some days with and without the mod and it has really settled.
Also be sure to close all your apps...that does make a difference as well.
5% drain here too. Approx 7 hours sleep. WiFi and cell active, with nothing deactivated.
Set your phone to disable WiFi when sleeping:
Settings -> WiFi -> Advanced "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" = "Only When Plugged In"
I was experiencing similar drain overnight (approx 20%) and this brought it down to about 3%
You can also selectively disable mobile data usage for apps in the background using the application manager. Recommend doing this for anything that might be a data hog or that you really don't want updating when your phone is asleep (e.g. twitter or other social media apps, if you don't care about notifications):
App Info -> App Data Usage -> Restrict App Background Data ON
These settings made a huge difference for me. Most apps are conservative about mobile data use by default (e.g. spotify isn't going to sync huge things over mobile while your phone is sleeping) -- I haven't noticed any particular increase in data use since doing this, but the battery savings is remarkable. Wifi is a big power drain.
Something causes the phone to not go to sleep sometimes. I have Greenify set up with Doze on the Go turned on. After a while, the sleep function just stops working and the phone has to be rebooted to get it to go back into the sleep mode. Haven't been able to figure this one out. Root would help us here.
Periodic rebooting does seem to help with standby drain.
Coming from an S7e, this phone is tops in this regard. Overnight I lose 10% at most. Almost always at 50%+ after work (7a-5p). Lenovo/Moto did it again! Just as happy as I was with the Turbo. Plus the chop chop works so much better, only ~5% fail rate. Fingerprint reader is much more useful than I ever imagined.

Omg I always wondered why the heck my phone always said WiFi battery usage was high even when I was on Airplane mode with my S5!
Thanks bro! ✌?

I had this problem too until I realized that I was using the fingerprint sensor to turn the device off. Greenify has an option for this, but it doesn't seem to work with the Z Force. Greenify does work properly for me if I use the power button to turn the screen off. But it doesn't if I use the fingerprint sensor.
It's normal to Motorola. This is a fresh factory reset.
How do you turn off WiFi ?
I do not know why it is on ? It is paired by bluetooth to my phone and Wifi is useless.
Lately last week I can not get through a day with my watch. Display is in ambient mode but is on 1 !!!!
Trying to find and way I can keep using the watch ..... it loses 10% an hour. My average day is 6am to 10pm it is dead at 4pm.
Used to be I turned if off and back on if would drain 3% an hour and easily make it through a day but now more often than not it is down 10% an hour.
If I turn of WiFi it may help.
Settings WiFi
WiFi automatic
Select this and it sets up an access point !!!!!! I want it off and I want it to stay off.
But how do I change it from saying WiFi automatic to disabled ?
When I tap the wifi-automatic icon, it asks me if I'm sure I want to turn it off. I'm not sure what you're doing differently. Maybe if you set up an access point, then the automatic icon will switch to turning off?
If it is connected to BT, your wifi isn't being used. By default, if it's on wifi because the BT isn't being used, it will shut off after 2 hours to save battery.
For me, I got about twice the battery life when I turned off ambient mode (why do I want it showing the time when I'm not looking at it?) and set screen timeout to 10-15 seconds. I think I use it a lot, or should I say, play with it a lot. After a day of heavy use, I can usually go from 6am to about 9pm (only once did it shut down due to heavy day and excessive text notifications).
Lately I have been trying to track my sleep on it every night and just to be safe, will throw on a charger for 15-30 minutes in the afternoon or evening to ensure enough charge. Last night with a quick charge I was able to have about 60% when I woke this morning.
Not sure what notifications come through normally, but I'm running Feel the Wear along side Android Wear for a variety of notifications.
Hi guys, planning to put my GPS always on, anyone also doing this? How's the battery life?
i keep location services on, high accuracy mode and wifi scanning always on. the battery consumption is normal and phone easily lasts me 1 day.
i dont see the point of having a smartphone and have to switch on and off location all the time. i'm willing to sacrifice a little battery.
I too always leave location on (high accuracy, wifi/bluetooth scanning available).
I also have Google Location History on, which requests location data a few times an hour.
On Open Beta 10 with ElementalX Kernel.
On idle, I've experienced minimal drain (0.1-0.3% per hour).
While traveling (and listening to music at the same time), I usually see 5-7% drain per hour.
Hi
Just noticed something interesting this morning whilst driving to work with my huawei p20 pro.
The battery drained from 82% to 78% within a 40min drive to work on standby (without mobile data, location GPS or Bluetooth on). When I am normally at home it drains around 2-3% overnight max.
I have 2G/3G mode as preferred and carrier aggregation disabled
Is this due to it automatically switching to the nearest cell tower?
