So I've used Moto Maker at least 10 times now and go to checkout(Pure Edition) but I haven't been able to pull the trigger. Currently use OnePlus as my daily driver but I also have a G3.
Neither of those devices are really what's holding me back.. It's the N6 that's supposedly going to be released this Wednesday for TMO. I used a Note 3 for almost a year and I think that was pretty much the size limit I could handle. Mostly cuz the phone is always in my front jeans pocket and at times the Note was a little uncomfortable.
I think what's holding me back is the X's smaller battery. On my OPO I average daily between 3-4sot with about 17 hours off charger and still have plenty to spare when I plug it in.
Anyone have any thoughts that might help? I realize the X 2013 was arguably the best phone off the year.. Do you think this years X can also achieve that status? Thanks!
Battery life on the X is a non-issue. I average 6 hours SOT without even trying, and if I let it go, I usually have at least 20% left at bedtime. If I do a lot of gaming I'll get 4hrs SOT. My buddy has an X too and he gets comparable battery life.
And yeah, I definitely think that all things considered, the X is easily the best phone to come out this year. It's nothing short of amazing.

Thanks for the input.. I never game on my phones other than maybe a few minutes playing clash of clans..I mostly browse g+, Facebook and watch YouTube vids so nothing really to draining on the battery
I am using a Moto X 2013 Dev Edition on T-Mobile, this particular unit I got from Moto Care after my initial one broke. It feels like it gets much worse battery life than the first. I did not unlock or root this one yet. I'm on the latest update with pretty good LTE/4G coverage and the phone completely discharges from full to 5% in less than 4.5 hours while only browsing! It then recharges from 5% to 87% in less than 1.5 hours, this seems unusually fast and led me to believe that the battery is faulty. What do you think?
Check what is using battery the most. You can check it in battery settings. Moreover I would encourage you to install one of the apps like Better Battery Stats (you need root) or Gsam Battery Monitor to see which app prevents your phone from going to sleep.

Um... Your screen was on that whole time mostly.
That's your issue. ?
Yes I know it was, I was browsing for 4.5 hours XD
But I feel that's a short time for the phone to completely discharge.
I felt like my first Moto X retail unit did much better, maybe this one is refurbished and the battery is worn already?
Thoughts?

Have you tried to fully discharge and recharge it while turned off?
I did this and now my Battery is nice again! About 24 hours with about 3 hours SOT! Wifi + Location always on, 1 hour of recording (so not Deep sleep), 4G and a little Spotify streaming via Network!
ahhh and i deinstalled Switch Widget Pro and some other Apps because they kept my X from sleeping! :good:
Good luck!
I say 4,5 hours of screen on time while surfing is great for the x, i don't see the problem here
Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the LG V20's battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
3 hours and 8-12 minutes of 1440p video at full brightness, loud speaker, wifi on, and screen recorder running (although the file messed up so i cant post it).
bad
Battle Bay: Less than 2 hours!
I can honestly say that it really depends on what I am doing. For example if I am digging around on the WOW companion Application or Yahoo's Fantasy Sports Application, the whole phone will get heated up and the battery starts taking a nosedive. If I'm not doing anything with my phone it can go 15 hours straight without losing a single percent. If I am just watching YouTube or something along those lines at 1080 or lower it seems to still go down, but not nearly as quickly as the (possibly poorly - from a power consumption view - designed) apps mentioned before.
As far as I'm concerned the removable battery negates any battery performance complaints. Out of power? Pop in a new battery, and you're 100% in a few minutes, back to endure more "heavy use"... How can any other modern flagship begin to compare?! (not to mention a year down the line, when I can just buy a fresh battery to mitigate deteriorating capacity, while the crowd has to buy a brand new iphone/s9/m10)
I've been playing Sky Force Reloaded a lot the past week. I had to be next to the power charger. I haven't bought a spare/secondary battery yet. I carry around a usb battery and a short cable when I need too...
Installed some more apps and games, and talk about nosedive. From the time I leave the house at 7AM to about 12 noon, the battery drops down to 15%(battery warning). I have to charge it then. I have to charge it again when I leave the office, which is around 5PM. Battery level varies at that time. Then charge again before bed. I still haven't rooted my phone. Phone temperature remains about 80F to about 108F(heavy use while charging) at times. LinkedIn, xfinity, Groupon, Weather, Waze, etc. Battery drainers! I've about almost had it. I miss root, and miss the ability to freeze apps. I will have to root this LG V20 sooner or later...

Yes my does that too.. Battery lasts just a bit over half day. I purchased 2nd battery but it's getting very annoying to change and charge them when ur between places.
Hope he gets better

I usually can keep my phone charges, in the car, desk, night stand. Today we where doing Hurricane prep listening to Spotify while working, watching YouTube while in the car driving from place to place. Had to set the screen to auto brightness to deal with the BRIGHT sunlight outdoors. After about 3.5 to 4 hours of use and 1 hour and 30 minuts of screen on time I was down to about 38% battery. I had to drive home and grab my power bank. I've only had my V20 for 2 months.
Not impressed!

Stock AT&T H910.
Just got my new Note 8 and yesterday I had 7 hours and 44 minutes of on time and 3 hours and 10 minutes of screen on time and was at 50% battery. That far better than my 2 to 3 month old V20.

Can I ask if you are ok with where the fingerprint sensor is located seriously thinking about getting note 8 as well v20 screen on time is getting worse and worse everyday

It is a bit of a nuisance especially at first. I've learned to adjust my grip so I grab the phone a little higher up than I used to and this makes the fingerprint scanner easier to reach. Since the Note 8 as narrower than traditional phones due to the new display format going it higher is easier while still being able to hold the device securely.
Still not ideal but manageable and definitely not something that would keep me from buying the Note 8.
I'm also using the facial recognition feature in conjunction with the fingerprint scanner. It's not something I thought I'd be into, but it works really well even in conditions I assumed it would not, like low light and slightly of angle.. So if I don't feel like doing for the fingerprint scanner I can just got the power button while holding the Note 8 and it will unlock.
Note I do have slightly bigger hands than most.

I disagree. If I have to change the battery every four hours of heavy (not even that heavy), somethings terribly wrong. If it was just one battery swap, maybe I could agree but I'd need at least 3 or 4. Luckily I'm usually able to keep my batter topped off most regular days. Removable batteries is no excuse to have horrid battery life.

Neat thing about a removable battery: it lets you swap out for a bigger unit.
I have a 6700 mAh battery in my H918, and haven't plugged in before bedtime in months. I can stream hours of video with full brightness and no thought for power. And that's the small option, the ZeroLemon unit is 10000 mAh, I just don't need that much.
In the end, the phone is only as smart as the user. I guess we can lead a horse to water.... but we can't keep removable batteries on the market if the people are too limited to use them :crying:

6700mAh battery, no thanks. I'm content with a normal size battery that can get me normal size battery life like other devices. Then a spare on those rear occasions I need it. The V20 should be commended for having a removable batter (probably the last higher end smart phone to offer one), but not it's battery performance.
I'm smart enough to want normal battery life out of a normal size battery, removable or not. :crying:
I voted "bad" because real world battery life is actually inferior to the 2012 Samsung Galaxy Note II it replaces. Naturally in lab tests the V20 massively outlasts the 2012 vintage Note II but I don't live in a lab. It's the only aspect of the phone that isn't a considerable improvement. I knew that if I listen to streams using the high quality audio with decent earphones the V20 isn't going to last like a modern Samsung or iPhone, or even Xiaomi, but I am a little surprised how it's not better. The replaceable battery is a necessity, not a luxury. Anyway it is mitigated by Quick Charge and the fact that the device seems to me to be just about beyond criticism in every other meaningful way.

Yes the battery life sucks stock but they do make a 4200mah now that fits in stock place no issues. I bought it and I get 6hours 44 minutes screen on. Much much better then the stock 3200 with no added size as it fits in stock compartment and cover.
Recommend to any V20 user.
Today my Moto e5 plus has arrived. I purchased this device mainly for its big battery. I am very basic user, rarely do I play game (or have them installed on my device). Maybe the most usage intensive tasks for my phones are occasional chatting when travelling.
Now I do own another phone. My previous device still works just fine (Moto X play), I was thinking of keeping this e5 around as backup (inactive in its box).
I have a question about how to maintain battery health over long periods of time on standby. Phone turned off.
Is there a decay rate? Do all things break up over time? (am I being foolish?)
I am a newbie at the physics/reality of batteries. Is a "backup" phone even a tactic worth pursuing? Or just buy another phone when your current one starts to give signs its end is near?
Thanks for your time reading this.
The general rule for a lithium battery is to charge the battery half way if you're going to store it for a while.
It will lose a bit of charge over time even being off. But it is very slow.
So I'd check the charge level on it every 6 months and try and keep it at about half.
Whether to have a backup phone is really up to you.
Phones are very readily available here in the states, so having one sit in a box doesn't make much sense for me.
But I don't know the situation for you in Italy.

Thanks for you reply Will. Good tips I could follow.
Do you know how lithium batteries fair off over long periods of inactivity? If they lose capacity as they age?
Based on this, it looks like they lose 2-4% in the first year.
I've had the Boost Moto E5 Plus with a 5000 mAh battery since August. I never took much note other than my average end-of-the-day battery being anywhere between 60-70% with mostly checking and sending email, occasional web browsing, light gaming, Waze showing maps and YouTube vanced playing through bluetooth while driving. It's a great phone! I have the bootloader unlocked, rooted with Magisk, installed Xposed, and Gravitybox and I removed apps I didn't need.
I recently bought a used, but very good condition XT1922-9 . I had read beforehand that the battery is great in these.... unfortunately I'm not having the same result. Is there any recommendations for helping battery life on these? Would rooting help or a custom rom (if available on this phone)?

No. It all depends on usage. It has a big battery. What are you comparing it to? And if you're talking screen on time, that's the biggest battery hog no matter what device/battery you have
If I'm doing anything at all it dies fast. Heck it lost 13% while I slept.

13%? Uh, not major.
Try disabling apps you don't use.
I plug mine in at night. But ymmv
In my case:
I used to have LG X Power with a 4100mAh battery and when I charged the phone before bed, the phone stayed at 100% till morning, and in the morning I played 1 game of Golf Clash, which is about 7/8 minutes, the battery was still 100%.
I bought Moto G6 Play, with similar battery of 4000mAh, when I charge it before bed, I clear the list of used application (under the square button), and overnight t lost 4% of power just lying on the desk (with mobile data and WiFi off).
I was expecting similar results as with my previous LG, but unfortunately this phone disappointed me.
Any way to fix it? Maybe changing charger to Fast Charge, or even Regular Charge, instead of Turbo Charge that we have now, will fix it?
