[Q] Battery Life?

Hi all, thinking of buying this 'Exceptional Phone' My brother has a Moto G, and I noticed how much better the battery was as compared to my Nexus 4. If anyone here has bought the phone, could they please specify/make a comment on the battery life? I know you guys musn't have had it a long time, but seeing it's a 5" screen with 2070mah, I'd like to know whether it's around the same/better/worse as compared to the old Moto G. Any Screen on Times under Battery Info will be much appreciated, thanks

U need to wait abit...i m yet to receive my moto g

12-14 hrs on a normal usage..
screen time on-5hrs

Wow! Yeah I just read on a review on expertreviews.co.u too that the battery lasted for 30minutes extra than the old Moto G.
ThanKs, I'm gonna go for this phone :good:

few cons noted so far
Hi, I am from India,
About Moto G 2nd gen 2014,
In India phone is available through flipkart only :silly:
ppl on flipkart review section,
complaining about charging time to get 100% charged, which is 3hrs+
so few points are noted as :
1. wall mount charger shipped with this phone heats up like a molten rock.
2. there is no data cable in the box.
3. few reported that they smelled something like plastic is burning.
4. battery last for 12hrs max on wifi use. i.e. twice a day charging
Is anyone here has the same experience?

Come on... how long do you have the phone?!? You know that you have to make 3 or 4 full charges until the battery settle down...

->battery charges up in 2 nd half hours..if u use it continuously while charging..then it would take 3hrs or more..
->i didn't face heating issues of charger
->cable wasn't there even in previous moto g..
->no smell
->u cannot expect more from a 2070mah battery as the screen is now 5inch..if u go out in the morning with full charge..u can easily end it up till night with normal usage..

thank you for point to point reply.. :angel:
what about call quality?
is it too loud? that person nearby you can hear what conversation is going? also when volume is lowed?
NOTE : I haven't bought moto g or moto g 2nd gen, yet or haven't placed the order for it, it will be my 1st motorola mobile, as it is not available in store to check or non of my friends had any, so I am inquiring about it before ordering it.

Charger heats up a little for me. Not as much as you said though. No smell either. No complaints about battery life. Lasts a day on normal usage (had almost full wifi) just fine.

Well,
After using the phone for 6 days, I just got the feeling that the battery is quite average.
Yes, the charger supplied with the phone phone takes more than 3.5 hours to fully charge the battery.
No smell, no overheating of charger.
There is one major issue with the battery is that it drains like a hell during nights even on Airplane mode.
I experienced battery drains of 10-15% over a period of 8 hours during nights with Wi-Fi, GPS and mobile data all OFF.
This is terrible :crying:
After searching thru threads, I found out that the issue may with drivers of GPS and Wi-Fi. It requires constant re-booting of phone after usage of Location services and/or Data Services.
Let's hope Motorola fixes these issues in their update..

Not necessarily. I have like max 3 or 4 percent drain at night, sometimes with WiFi on. The problem maybe that yours doesn't goto deepsleep. Some apps maybe preventing if.

This will depend on where you are. In the US, the phone ships with only a data cable, no charger. At least that was the case with the first gen; however, some mobile companies had models that did ship with only a charger, no cable.
I'm guessing the included charger is designed for 110V optimal, but works at 220V (but gets over-warm).

You aren't in a roam or marginal mobile coverage area are you. I found my first-gen G drained about twice as fact if it was searching for signal or roaming.

No. I'm not roaming and issues with signal either. The issue seems to be with either GPS or Wi-Fi. I used WiFi last night and put the phone into airplane mode. But didn't reboot it. I experienced battery drain of more than 25%

I am using this phone from 6 days. i can say Moto G 2nd gen.'s battery life is awesome. it takes approx 3hrs to charged full battery. and runs almost for 20 to 22 hours. I suggest you all to buy Moto G 2014.

Hi,
I have moto g 2014 since 9-September.
I must say that the battery is good. You must use a low "a" charguer (1 A) and do 2 or 3 full cycles.
After that i achieve between 3-4 hours with average usage.
I have motorola assist disabled.
In the first 2 days i had troubles with signal, it seems to be Sim related. I changued the sim to 2nd port and is working well now.
I'm from Spain sorry for my bad english.

I am having the EXACT same problems as quoted above..
If I remove the shell, the phone smell like the battery is burning inside.
The charger hears up quite a bit, although not as much as a molten rock.
The phone is taking 3 hours + to charge.
My phone was delivered 2 days ago and I'm already facing this problem.
Do I have to ask for a replacement?
Kindly suggest.

[Q] longevity of internal batteries on xperia devices?

Hi all,
I'm very interested in switching to the z3 compact yet my main concern is the built-in battery. I'm concern that the battery might fail after the 1 yr warranty has elapsed. If this happens; I'd be at the mercy of the sony service center. Replacing a built-in battery will definitely cost a lot more than just swapping out interchangeable batteries like I do now with my s4 mini.
The xperia Z line has been around for 2 years now if I'm not mistaken, can anyone share the battery health of their Z device after 1 or 2 years of constant use (those who recharge every night). after the 2nd year did you feel that the battery lasts far less than what is acceptable? and how much did it cost you to get it replaced? or you just sold it and bought a newer generation phone.

It all depends on the way you charge your batteries.
- If you repeatedly using your phone till it's dead or almost dead, then recharge to full, the longevity will be short.
- Longevity is also affected by the length of time it is connected to the charger, the shorter the better.
- If you keep it at 100% all the time, this will reduce longevity ( fully charged = highly stressed battery).
I learned the above from the site below, so more info there:

This is what is happening to my s4 mini now. The battery barely lasts a day on my normal usage. Now I'm hardly using it because I'm afraid it will run out of juice before I reach home. I gets to a low 20% and then I charge it overnight. the z3 compact's 2 day battery will solve this for me, hopefully.

I normally keep my phone plugged in over night so that I can be certain that it will be full in the morning when I leave. This is because my current phone's battery drops by 10-17% overnight while I sleep. I compared that to an 5S running on 2G = 1-3% = awesome. (btw; signal is very ok at my house so I don't think it is waking up due to that)
Thank you for your inputs. I guess I'll have to change how I charge my phones from now on.

Have had my xperia z almost since launch and can't really say t hey I noticed any big difference in battery life. Sure some it prob are would be strange but lot so I notice it.
And for the long charge it isn't that big of a problem, have had my Z in the dock over night every day.

As with all these batteries (Li-ion): if you store them leave them at 40-60% then store them away , they dont like to run fully emtpy (although there probably is some hibernation implemented in the system like on laptops) nor fully charged.I think thats the reason why you also never get a fully charged/discharged device .
Batteries have been getting smarter so modern batteries of this type will never charge to 100% even though they display it (thats why leaving them connected it basically does no harm). I am assuming the Z3C also does it this way.
I recommend "calibrating" the battery once or twice every two months that means full charge , then full discharge, then full charge again but beware that if your battery is near death this procedure could be its killing blow due to bad cells .So just do it if you do not experience any problems with the battery, like a sudden drop in battery. Otherwise you can calmly "let it learn" its real capacity.
But again technology has also not slowed down on batteries and as this is a modern device which I think you cant kill with normal usage just extend its life (a bit).

I also had my XZ since launch, with BT always on I use about 50% during a normal working day.

Have my Z3C for about 3 weeks now, so only time will tell whether the battery lasts. However, this is not my first Sony phone and the Xperia U (about 2 years old, now being used by our son) hardly shows any degradation. Same goes with the Xperia M (1 year old) and still going like new. Adding to that, I never actually paid much attention to when or how I recharged....

Batteries don't usually go bad all at once. Instead, wearing out is more of a gradual process of not charging quite as high and discharging faster. Since this battery is so good to begin with, I would think compared to other devices you could buy right now it will last a long time.
A year from now you'll still get more life out of even an abused z3c battery than you'd get out of that undersized cell in a brand new Moto X.

Moto X 2013 Battery Problems

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.
Sent from my XT1052

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

New spare battery whitout proper temperature reading...

hi,
I have just received a replacement battery, have had a charge discharge cycle, and it look ok.
But I did just figured that the temperature reading is nothing but real :
- put the phone outside at -5°C for 30 min, batterie temp reading :23°C
- put the phone in charge on a QuickCharge 2 charger and go from 20% to 70% : 15°C
It seems to be a common thing on spare replacement batteries to have bad or simply NO temperature sensor.
For my Nexus 5 I have had the same issue.
The question is : is this temperature reading used to stop charging when its getting to much hot or even the phone itself?
Or does the phone itself has its own temp sensor that will shut it down or stop charging?
Edit : the litle white humidity disc checker on the same face as the contact is also missing...
Thanks

I also have a "5000 mah" slim battery, it is showing 23 degree non stop, so obviously not working. It gives me great battery life though.

Yeah the temp sensor is bugged

My orig bat is still crankin. 1.25 years later. Im impressed

I did this for testing purposes....
With my Original Battery I charged with USB 2.0 Quick Charge and with my LG OEM Battery Charger and I got 2 Hours more with the Battery Charger. My Test: had the screen [email protected] and in the whole time. So 5HRs vs 3HRs
Note: the OEM Battery Charger doesn't have Quick Charge. To my understanding you should always charge slow and not fast. I find these Quick Charge Technology just a gimmick

Now out of curiosity. Are all these batts with incorect temp readings throwing warning aboit device to hot or cold????

No, I have no warnings, it works a bit better than stock, I have 4-5 hours of SOT during 40h time (I charge the phone every other night all night).

My G4 is brick
I need your help

Is that TOTHL battery really 5000mAh? I feel like a lot of those budget extended batteries all lie about capacity.

Too late!! I already bought it, but it wasn't too expensive (2 x $20 usd, shipped)
So far, the same SOT as the stock batteries. I doubt they'll last long, after multiple cycles.
The biggest battery saver has been uninstalling Facebook Messenger...sad.

You do realize these Slim Extended Batteries or and All Extended Battery can't be charged with USB? Time&Time again i keep saying y'all need to buy these Battery Chargers! (Linked in My Thread)
Truth: Either a Chip in the battery, Motherboard via Phone or.... inside the OS Kernel is it's locked @3000mah so if you charge (via USB) a Extended Battery it'll charge only @3000mah and nothing more. I've tested it. Even charging overnight

Moto G6 Battery Life Question, Did I Get A Bad Unit?

I had a great experience with a Moto G5 Plus so when I needed a new phone I bought a Moto G6 (Amazon Edition) with 4GB Ram and 64GB storage. I've had the G6 2 days and I'm starting to wonder if I got a unit with a bad battery. I unplugged my phone this morning and without even turning on the screen I was at 95% 20 min later. While Playing Clash Royale the battery will drain 1% every 30-45 seconds and it's not a demanding game so it doesn't seem right, I expected more from a brand new phone. Does anyone else have any experience with this phone and is the battery that bad?
I am in the process of returning this phone to Amazon and don't know if I should get another G6 hoping I just got a bad unit or get something else. I like everything about the phone so far except the miserable battery life.

Search youtube videos on G6 gaming and you'll get a better idea. The reviews seem mixed, gsmarena tests show subpar battery life , others seem to show that that its about average. Maybe you've installed some apps that drain the battery very quickly.

It's the Amazon Edition but according to the battery usage the Amazon apps don't use any battery but anytime the screen is on I'm using a little more than 1% battery per minute and that seems crazy. At that rate I'd get about 90 min of use. I had the G5 plus and even after 2 years of heavy use it wasn't even close to that

Do a full discharge/charge cycle (use it until battery drops to 5% then charge full) once or twice and see how it performs because battery stats can be inaccurate. I think Motorola also recommends leaving it on the charger for an hour or two after fully charging to improve the battery calibration. But if you've done that and phone still goes flat in 90mins-2hours even after you've done a factory reset without installing any apps, then return or exchange it. There seems to be alot of complaints about the G6 battery life so you're not the only one.

I am on my second G6 now. The first phone was the 64/4gb Amazon "Special Edition" and I returned it and tried the 64/4gb standard version without the Amazon bloatware, hoping that it may have been the preinstalled apps killing the battery. This phone does a bit better but still no where near what I would expect from a new phone. I get about 10 hours between charges now but that's with minimal usage and it even drains 10-15% while I'm sleeping with no screen on time. If it's like this now I'm worried how bad it will be in a year, I will be lucky to get 2 hours from it and that's not acceptable for a $300+ phone. I have had nothing but good experiences with Motorola but they dropped the ball on this one. I'm going to see if I can return it and just get the 64/4gb Moto G5 Plus. It's on sale for $200 and IMO a better phone then the G6 and at $200 it might just be the best price/performance phone out there.

I pull mine off the charger around 6am and can make it until about 10pm before hitting g 15%. I use it for streaming media through the day, moderate texting.
