Have had this since january 2015, and the battery only seemed to get better when Android 6 was released for the watch a year later. Suddenly, in April/May, the drain became significant higher, and I need recharging after 10-12 hours of use. No new apps, no different use from the night before. Factory reset did not help it.
Should I try to fix the battery, or is it something else I might try?

Hi benjih!
I double that. Before update I had about 1 d 10h on a full battery charge without Stamina, etc. Since update full battery charge lasts for only 20-21 h. Seems like a significant drop.
Anybody else having the same issue after update to 23.0.1.a.5.77?
First charge cycle after updating didn't last as long as usual, but now back to normal. 50 hours on current charge with 4 hours screen on and 22% remaining.
Don't know why but when you flash your phone with new firmware or update the firmware the battery needs a few charges to stabilise.This is a known fact and happens in most cases that's why many people are stating bad battery life after a update but back to normal after a while relax guys.
For some time now, I've found that my phone shuts down sometimes as early as 25 or 30 percent still left on the battery. I mean literally, forced shutdown. I can't even get through an 8 hour workday anymore without charging, which is sad for a phone with a 3900 mAh battery that used to last me 30+ hours.
I'd do a full reset, if I thought it might bring things back to something resembling normal. Anyone else have this issue?
I get the same but closer to 15%. I'll plug it in when its dead and start it back up and it will already be at 15-16% charged.
Same problem here. I'm assuming its just because the battery is getting old. Worth noting that I have done a factory reset recently (for other issues) but the battery issue persists.
Your battery is dying. Mine did the same, then it started shutting off at higher percentages (shutdown at 80%, could only charge to 90%). Also when it reached the end, the audio on my phone (speakers and phone) cut out completely. I replaced my own with this one: http://amzn.to/2ffynQB. Easy replacement, audio came back and battery seems ok.

OK, good to know. I guess I'll just ride out the last month and a half and hopefully trade in for a Pixel XL in December.
I wonder if this is a common issue with Motorola phones, or specific to the Turbo. I would expect the battery to last at LEAST 2 years. I've had a lot of Samsung devices that are a lot older than the Turbo, and they still hold a charge quite well. Just sold a Note 2 to someone, and also a Galaxy Tab 3 8.0. Both still had great battery life.
Disappointing, as the Turbo is still a great phone...
Update: For the first time since the OG Droid, I've decided to flash a custom ROM. I'm running the 7.0 Nougat ROM found here. My battery life has been greatly improved. I'm currently sitting at 43% after 8 hours of normal workday use. I usually would have had to plug it in by now. Also, no more random shutdowns at 20%.
When I got my phone (25th of September) the battery life was great and I even had a ton of apps installed.
Recently my battery drain got worse all of the sudden. I thought this was due to a lot of apps, so I did a factory reset. This didn't help so I did it again. While it got somewhat better, it's still very bad.
With 3 hours SOT I lost 70%. I went into battery usage and it said my phone was constantly awoke and it probably shouldn't be that way.
Here's a pic of my usage https://imgur.com/a/Q3SfMm3
I'm really desperate and don't know what to do and if my phone is faulty.
Edit: I was on 4G for the majority of the time, yet it says Wi-Fi was always on, while I had it turned off.
Hello!
I've been experiencing worse battery life on my Nokia 8 since Pie upgrade, I haven't installed any apps nor services...
Note that the battery improved -but not as good as Oreo- after calibration using an app...
Are you experiencing the sane issue? Or should I further investigate?
Thank you..
yes
Same here. I got 12 hours screen on time once on oreo but now, it is a dream. Battery drains fastly due to background services. App restriction doesn't work as well as oreo's restriction. So, this situation causes battery draining. Also there is a weird thing i've faced, battery drains quickly from %100 to %95. I am waiting for Maintenance Release impatiently.
is battery life on oreo really that good?
I'm using pie since day 1 and never got more than 7h sot and 1.5 days.
My battery life is dire since pie, I was impressed with the battery in the 8 until this update, I cant even make a day without having to charge. When I say day I mean from 7am to 10pm as its left charging overnight.
Before pie I could quite happily last 2 days between charges, I'm not a heavy user, initially I thought I must be using the phone more. But I'm actually using it less just so it makes it to the end of the day!
Somehow it's worse again today, dead by 4:30!
Basically just checked phone to see the time, around 10 minutes of faffing in the morning, rebooted it before charging last night incase sonething was using battery. Madness!
For me, I've given my phone a factory reset before I installed the Beta labs/initial final(V5.110, December 2018-January 2019) build. Despite that, I did notice my battery life taking a hit when running this iteration of Pie. I was at most getting not more than 5 hours of SoT on average. And I do use my phone a lot throughout the day, the camera, web browsing, videos and social media. Meanwhile on Oreo, I can get 6 hours on average no problem. Sometimes even 7 hours if I'm lucky.
After updating to V5.140(February 2019) with Adaptive Battery brought in, I seem to have gotten back my average SoC just like when my phone was running Oreo. Running 5-6 hours on average. I'm not sure if Adaptive Battery has anything to do with this since I did notice the improvement immediately. I also disabled some of the Evenwell crap before updating to V5.140, so that may or may not have an effect.
If apps restricted didnt work then try manually restrict each app go to ur up hold it then info Then choose battery from there change background restriction
Ifaced this problem in beta when iwas sleep and wake up morning my battery was almost below 20 percent but i manually restrict all apps and its working 100 percent ?
Sorry to heat that. Have you tried installing some apps like better battery stats to see what exactly is saying up your battery? If your phone is rooted consider installing ForceDoze from f-droid and maybe WakeBlock to regulate some wakelocks that may be the cause of your terrible battery life. I have been able to get great battery life using the latest put version. See screenshot below from a few days ago.
I know that this is old thread but i have solution which i use with my nokia. change default launcher to another lightweight. This works and my battery feel better.
I should of updated, battery went back to normal after newer updates.
However, biggest thing for me, using DNS666 Ad blocker has seemingly doubled my battery life, might be a combination of just gotten bored of the phone or blocking all the ad's saves battery, or a bit of both, its also made the phone feel a lot more responsive overall, i'm using Squarehome as my launcher so maybe that was affecting the battery before?
Maybe which update can fix battery life? I rooted my phone and can't download latest update.
I'm suffering from bad battery drain. Leaving the phone idle for 5-6 hours and the battery drains from 90% to 49%.
Battery usage nothing is happening. Really weird?
Yes, that's strange and certainly different than my experience. I use the phone constantly day and into the evening, open and folded with from 5 to 8 hours on screen time and still have 40-50% battery. Every bit as good as my previous phone (Galaxy S20).
Have you gotten a system update. I've seen at least one post indicating battery life was improved.
Look a round and you'll find how to download and install manually, if you feel the need.
Best of luck.
What do you mean download and install manually? I think I might just do a factory reset and see how it goes!
I think SOC 3hrs max. I just check stocks and YouTube and etc... Video call probs drains the most for me
i don't see much difference in battery drain. last time i had bad battery drain was from google latest update. i had to reinstall the previous version to solve the issue.
