The first graph seems ok in terms of battery drain, but still we need to see the expanded one, the one when you click the first graph containing info about the screen, the wifi, signal, etc.
Try to use Gsam or BBS to see the wakelocks or apps than drain most of the battery.
If everything seems normal, then maybe it is a defective unit; try to ask for a change.

I'm at 48% after 10 hours and 35 minutes. I think the whole 48 hours without a charge line is a load of crap.

There are people that can get more than 10 hours SOT, so it's not crap, something must be draining your battery and you need to find what is it. Obviously if you are heavy user or play games, expect one day of use at most.

I have never and will never get 48hrs out of my phone. If you use you phone with extreme lite use then its possible. But I bought this phone to use. With my usage I get around 18hrs with 5 to 6 hrs of screen on time. For me this is prefect. And if I do need some extra time the turbo charger works great.

I'm really not though. I was at work all day, no game playing. I surfed on Chrome for maybe 45 minutes max during the duration of the day.
Even right now. I haven't been on my phone at all. I'm at 81% on 6 hours and 57 minutes of use.
Cell standby 18%
Screen 17%
Wifi 10% (no wifi here)
Google services 9%
Is this a lemon? Should I say I want another one?

Normal Battery drain or defective Turbo?

So I've had my phone a little over a month now and i never got amazing battery life, but compared to other phones it was solid. However, i see people with 6-7 hours of screen on time, when i struggle to squeeze 4 out of my phone. Typically i get down to about 10% with 17 hours total and 3.5 hours of screen on time. Also my phone usually turns off at 5-10% randomly, is this normal? Lastly, every so often if i let the battery run down until it turns off (8% or so) i get a screen that shows the battery sign with an exclamation mark on the inside. Is my phone defective or are peoples battery stats a matter of difference in usage.

SOT heavily depends on use and screen brightness.
I always get 6-7, auto brightness, no gaming.

Yes but I'm saying i get a max of 4 hours SOT with absolutely no gaming. All i do is text and use normal stuff like twitter and instagram.

My device at the same, up to 5 SOT
Do you think battery problems on this device?
Edit: 8-10 hours standby -> %10 battery drain...
Location - Battery saving(always)
Brightness - Auto(always)
Wifi - off(idle off- Scanning always available <-OFF)
Network - 2G(idle)
Bloatware - all disabled
Moto Apps - Only Moto Display -ON-
Facebook / Twitter - I don't use!

I typically see 1% battery drain for every hour in stand by and 10% for every hour of screen on time. After 24 hours with 2 hrs SOT, I'll be around 55%. I don't use WiFi or GPS very often.

Just wait for Lollipop update and the excessive battery drain will be gone. With KitKat I had around 10% or more battery drain overnight, but now I'm having at most 1%-2% with the same synced settings, so it was a huge improve, believe me.
Besides this, try to disable Moto Actions (except camera wrist), keep those sensors awake all the time drain a lot of battery. The exclamation sign inside the battery should be present in around 5% battery left.
Also, as far as I know, Turbo will be updated directly to 5.1, so it would be better, but hope that Verizon crap-ware doesn’t ruin the update.

Battery Life experiences

Just curious on people's battery life experiences so far. This seems to be the main negative I hear about this device from reviews. I am most likely going to get the device nonetheless.

I don't feel like the battery life is that bad on this device.
I can get through a hole day very easily. I play some games (but not that much), I listen to a lot of music and I use Chrome very often.
Still I have about 40% at the end of the day.
For a device with a 1440*2560 5.7 inch screen and a Snapdragon 810 I reckon that it is pretty good.
I can only tell you to get this device it is awesome

Battery life for me is pretty terrible. The battery drain is significant even when the phone is in idle. I usually have access to a charger throughout the course of a day and I feel the need to keep it connected as often as possible. I still love the phone, but the battery life is the worst I have experienced with any phone I have had in the last couple of years, and I have used many. I leave it on balanced mode for the majority of the day and only switch to performance mode when I am going to play a graphic intensive game.

Yikes. Have you tried any software like Greenify to help alleviate the problem or it still persists ?

No, I haven't tried any apps or other battery profiles. Like I said, I keep it plugged in a lot during the day, so I have never felt the need to see how far I could stretch a single charge. This is also the way I have kept all of my previous phones and the Xiaomi drains the battery the fastest in comparison.

Mine lasts me about 12hours. I listen to music most of the day and I'm a heavy user.

Got the phone 2 days ago. got around 4 hours 15 minutes SOT from 7am till 9pm on the international rom. Better than i was expecting. Hopefully I can improve it further.

I have to admit that over time the battery got worse. That would be because I have more apps etc..

What is your SOT time usually?

I noticed today my battery SOT and idle drain has been really bad. The only thing I think I did diffrently was that I logged onto my miui account last night so i could download themes. I have no use for the miui account other htan the themes so I will try logging out and seeing how things are after it....

2-9% per hour is not bad i guess...
If i use it a lot, then only it will go as far as 11% per hour and mostly because the big QHD screen,
When it sleep, it almost didnt drain...
Of course you have to kill/disable all those stupid google play services... Named it Event Log and Checkin handoff etc etc

Bad Battery Life?

Hey guys, I've seen posts about people getting amazing battery life, both on stock and on a custom rom. I can never seem to get the same results, whatever I do. Sometimes, I'll toggle a setting and I'll see improvements for a day or two, then it goes back. Even more frustrating is there have been times when I turn the setting back to what it was and see improvements. It was like this for a while, but recently I've kinda gotten stuck with ~15 hours from 100% to 10% and nothing seems to change it. I have location on device only (its for weather, battery saving seems to be worse because Google services just syncs all the time and eats battery) and mobile data on. I've disabled pretty much every Verizon app and I just use moto display and the sleep thing. What else can I do to get better battery life short of a custom rom? The only reason I won't do a custom rom is because my parents won't let me spend $25 on sunshine, whether it's their money or mine.

I exactly get the same results as you. I'm on stock and disabled all verizon apps. A help could be really nice.

Keep in mind that battery life varies GREATLY upon usage. I can kill my battery in a matter of a few hours or have it last for nearly a week. Sync frequency, sleep time, connectivity, refresh settings, screen brightness, CPU usage, vibration on/off, number of wake locks...I can go on and on.
For example, I had my S4 last 5 days before it dropped to 80%, as you can imagine I didn't use it much. However, that same phone died in probably 3-4 hours on me also.
What matters most is if you have more battery life than your previous phone. Never compare your battery life to others.

I included some usage statistics in the ingur link. A lot of battery seems to be used by Android os and android system. Is there anything I can do to lower this?

What do you have your screen brightness set to? Your phone looks completely normal in terms of battery usage (Android/Google will always use a couple percentage).
Try turning off adaptive brightness and putting your device to the lowest brightness you can stand, that should add at least another hour or two depending on your current settings. 3 hours of SoT over a days usage with what looks like moderate use (YouTube, Messaging, etc.) isn't too bad for this phone.

Thanks for the advice! I guess I was expecting too much out of this phone Oh well, i'll just wait until i can get $25 in amazon or google play gift cards to pay for sunshine so i can get computerfreak's rom.

I am on CF's latest ROM and I'll say my battery life improved compared to stock, but not by much. I may get 6 hours SoT but my battery is down below 20% by the end of the day, and that is if I avoid playing games. Playing games all bets are off, the battery runs out quick.
There are some out there saying they get 8+ hours SoT and 48+ hours between charges. I call BS on that unless you are running minimum brightness and not doing any syncing or anything location based, and possibly even turning off cell data. Showing off with pictures of their battery stats and not telling the whole story.

If you unlock with Sunshine and install RR, you can use the custom kernel to tweak the CPU and GPU frequency to save battery life.
Additionally, there are other ways to save battery, like adjusting the pixel density and colors. (At least I think so?)

Greenify also helps. I think that is available for non-root as well.
Also, check your wake time. If always awake, could be the Google services running constantly trying to update.
There is an app to fix that, but I think it requires root.

also, my phone really likes to shut off before it reaches 0% battery. Is this normal?

I doubt its normal, buy I have noticed that mine does that too. It usually shuts down around 7% without warning.

Battery life a bit odd? Amongst other things

Hi all, bit of background, I had my Z3c for just over 2 years and 6 months, heard the news about the XZ1c and soon as it was out I jumped at the chance of buying it.
Sadly, I haven't bonded too well with it.
Compared to my Z3c the battery life hasn't been all that good even using stamina. That's with minimal screen on time too. My Z3c used to do almost 2 days, this I can get a day and that's barely! Greenify is in use to kill apps etc.
After a full charge with battery care enabled I'm losing a load of charge and God knows where...!
SwiftKey absolutely sucks on this phone unless I have stamina turned off.
Vibration is bad, I've had to turn it off on the keyboard.
I also want to find a way to mod the stamina mode 3 so it's device performance but kills data too just as per the Z3C.
I'll attach some screen shots too so you can see what I mean... Just a bit disappointed.

Your experience is similar to mine. I have about 30% left when the day is over and that is with having about 2-3 hours of screen time. I turned off the majority of location and updates and keep screen brightness to a minimum. Despite not being as good as what I was expecting, it's better than the Pixel I had before this phone which couldn't make it through my usual 16 hour day without being plugged in.

that an estimated time only, depending on your history use.
but yeah z3c was kinda king with battery... i dont think this one will be. Sna835 is powerefficientier but remember that apps will be alway hungrier too.

It's better than majority of phones on the market... I think the Z3C spoilt us though, it was definitely king, even at its age it still gives well over 36 hours use.

Im having a great time with my xz1c.

My first charge
My first full charge is pretty good 51 hours alive with 5,5 hours screen on time.
I have disabled vibrations when typing, manual screen brightness (most of the time set at about 1/3), sync on all the time, Wi-Fi and LTE enabled all the time

Use gmaps, chrome, played 1:40h heavy game... Im satisfied with it..

The only strange thing I see is high battery drop over night.
It goes more than 10%, I was hoping for 3%. Phone idle battery consumption is on top then. I hope it will change in the future ROMs.
Do you guys see it also?

you can limit an app on background and also limit its data use. make a test: close all aps overnight and see if it changes.

I'm gonna try this, as I'm also seeing a big battery drop overnight. My Z3c used to drop 2% overnight, this drops massively.
I think the stamina mode isn't the same as previous z compact phones. Really really struggling to bond with this phone man lol.

well see if there is app eating your battery in the battery stats. if yes than choose the option on the app to limit it on background. Dont forget to limit its data plan on background too in the data plan menu.
reboot the phone. close all aps and go to sleep.
tell us if something changed.

Lost 2% in my 8 hour sleep.

I've noticed that Google Play Services seems to get the hump if you have any extended stamina mode. When I check app battery usage with stamina mode on, GPS is one of the top users. But not there with stamina mode off. If fact stamina mode seems to use more battery than if its turned off. I need to do a few more charges to confirm.
Battery life is excellent btw, better than any phone I have had before. Regularly getting to three days of use.

I have power mode activated with zx1 compact I disable the vibration jacket and some useless application kindeXXX is still improved battery life

So it's been a few days! So far I've:
- Changed my SwiftKey setting to vibration off,
- stamina mode changes to performance orientated instead of battery life biased like before,
- auto brightness off
- Limited MANY app's background data and background running as above (cheers for that mate)
- priority mode on to alert me of important calls only, everything else just uses the notification light with no sounds.
I'm now finally, because of the above, beginning to see 2 days battery life almost 3 days last week!
Still more to do for good battery like instead of just stamina mode On like on the Z3C but hey I guess I can live with it!

So as happy as I am... Still can't get to the bottom of why it loses the first 10% so fast?! Check this out, taken off charge like just over an hour ago and I've lost 4% already!
From 80% onwards it lasts a good while but damn man why's it losing the initial 10% or so that fast?!

This is my battery life for the last few days, it's been good... But this is doing my head in, losing first 10%so fast...

... And I've lost another 2% since that last post! Ffs man.

Can you tell me what is the Firmware of your device ?

Lost 15% of the battery while my 10hr sleep today. Very strange. My Z3c used to eat no more than 3% without any limitations, closing apps or stamina mode.
