Battery problems and a cracky speaker - Moto X General

Hey everyone!
I'm new to the moto x and I am not getting the battery life of some of you. I am currently at 46℅ battery with only 7 hours use. I have Bluetooth on and Wi-Fi. My Bluetooth is for my pebble and I have been using Pandora and some internet but according to reports I shouldn't be blowing through battery this quick. Also my phone speaker is fairly cracky when making a call not the speaker around back but the front one I can still hear people but when it's ringing it sounds awful

Do you have any stats on screen-on time? Because if your screen is on for 5 of those 7 hours, that could be doing it.
If you don't have those stats, I think Better Battery Stats will get those for you. Also, if you're already sending it in, then you might be able to request a new battery anyways.

This is only my second day using the moto x and coming from an HTC One and a One X before it which both had what I thought was great battery life, I can definitely say that the screen on time I got today is absolutely unheard of! And this is while seeing the phone up, installing mods and apps, etc.

Almost 15 hours and you're still at 17%? You have nothing to worry about.
But if you are a worrier, just click the voice call line and it'll give you full details of usage. Just remember that screen shows relative battery drain, not absolute.

Install better battery stats, and inspect what your wakelocks are.
Thanks for the help guys. I decided to factory reset and try a new rom thanks anyway

Some app or service is draining your battery. Get BetterBatteryStats to narrow it down.

Like someone said before it's a rogue app and the only way your going to get the battery drain issue to go away is to figure out which app is doing it and then get rid of it.

I think the best solution for you is to factory reset or re-install android on your device once.
It will be easier than finding out where is the problem. as screen snap shows most of the battery is drained by "android OS".
It was just my opinion you can take it if you want.
My battery usage. Even though my screen on time was only about 2 hrs most of the battery was drained by the screen. So there music be something very wrong in your case.
I don't know about android virus but that might be an option.

Gonna follow along and disable my daydream as well since I'm having the same problem you are with it actually draining while on the charger (Stock ROM, Franco Kernel, OEM wall wart with gold tipped USB cable). Tis quite annoying to have to either keep the screen off or power down completely in order for this bad boy to charge...

How is your battery life

I am using my first full charge now so I cannot say yet.
Anyone have some stats yet?

Really wish more reviewers compared phone battery usage better. The best site I found is gsmarena.com blog. Sadly they usually release battery results about a month after a phone releases. Would love to see how this compares to the s4.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Battery life much better than S4 mainly due to screen and processors. Battery life on this phone is a strength. Previous phones include S4, LG Optimus Pro and Note 2.

What was your typical on screen time with s4 vs motox?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Moto X is the only phone I've ever had where it beats 5 hours of screen time. I'm getting an hour extra of screen time. Of course, still too early to tell. On the S4 I would get close to 4 hours of screen time on average.

This is full-time on wifi presumably?
If/when you are available to, can you run 1 charge on LTE only?
I got almost 6 hours on screen time in 15 hours today. Light, medium use. Wifi was on a lot, blue tooth on, some gps, some camera. No gaming at all. Tons of YouTube videos.

Love this phone btw. Between the Motorola Connect, hands free Google Now, excellent battery, and notifications we have a serious phone here.

Is anyone willing to turn active notifications and voice control off for a charge? I'm curious how long it will last with that stuff off.

It's probably affecting battery so lightly that it wouldn't make a difference.
Now what I want to see is someone test the battery on straight H+ or LTE.

The motorola connect, active notifications and the secured bluetooth to remove the passlock is probably the main reasons i kinda want this phone.
But ..F ATT......damn them for getting those colors exclusive.

Mobilesyrup.com tryed it and gain a half hour on his test. But for a full day of use, don't think that would make a noticeable difference.

Today is the first full day using my phone. I get up at 3:30 am. I would consider myself a moderate user even though I'm constantly on my phone checking emails etc for work. I check my news/social apps pretty constantly through out the day as well. No heavy video or gaming. It's 5:19 pm now and the phone is at 43% battery. As an average user I have to say I'm blown away by the battery. I'm coming from a galaxy s3.

i mean hours. how many hours of screen on time did you have. that's one of the most important clues to battery life.
thanks!
Please please everyone post your screen on time, how many hours of display. Its THE most important number.

Less than 5 hours on a full charge?!

I know I'm a heavy phone user, but how are people saying they get 9+ hours of constant use, like watching videos, and I'm getting half that from texting, using Hangouts, and a couple social networking apps? My screen uses between 45-50% of that and the rest is apps, primarily the ones I use most.

What launcher were you using? I unplugged at 7-8 am this morning and attached are my stats. Sometimes it drains more than others but overall the battery life is pretty amazing.

Well, for starters wifi is at 0% which means ur constantly using 4G which can suck ur battery dry especially if you're in an area with bad reception.

My wifi always shows it's connected as a solid blue line, but I've been on LTE all day.
Might be a rogue app running in the background or something? I use the Active Apps widget and randomly end programs from time to time while clearing up the RAM as well. Hopefully it's just a rogue app or bad battery?

You're definitely not getting what you should. Look at my stats, a lot of wifi but also not as much held awake time on my phone considering what I have as Battery time. Take a look around there's things you can disable like bloatware that may be holding your phone from sleeping. Also see if you can reconfigure that one app, maybe it updates to often. I don't usually have any app drain more then kernel and the android system.
Or its your battery if you've done all that.

I was having that same problem when first got my phone. I'm pretty sure it was the new themer application it, worked fine until I uninstalled it, then my battery constantly needed to be charged. To originally fix it I backed up and factory reset it then it seemed to be working fine but now that I'm rooted I have been using greenify and it works like a dream. It tells you in better detail what's draining your battery and what wakes it up in your background as it tries to sleep. Now I get about 22 hours with pretty regular usage
With 56 minutes on screen time, I should get close to ten hours... you must have an app that is killing your battery or that uses data alot

Here is how mine is looking today so far, I would say my Note 3 outlasts my other phones no problem.. biggest offenders I noticed that wrecked mine was Google Settings>Location Reporting turned that off, and when I dont need it turn everything off in Settings>Location Reporting.. when I go out or want to use Google Now I turn it on .. I greenified a lot of the stupid apps like My Magazine or disabled them outright

Three things, one are you rooted. Two if not, is the beginning of it while you are sleeping or using it? If using it, what other things have you tweaked If not rooted.
And third but completely unrelated, I see you have a sense clock, if you want a great one that is pretty much a perfect copy of sense, take a look at "sense v2 flip click and weather". I use that and love it

I can't speak for Neo but I'm rooted, but before then I still had amazing battery life because I disabled most if not all the bloatware.
I've disabled most of the bloat ware, I think. I'm it rooted. I'm just always plugging this thing in

Bluetooth battery drain?

Stock G2, AT&T. Running KitKat latest update.
Since KK arrived, I've had major battery drain by bluetooth. I leave bluetooth off, but it is always the highest power user in standby. Anyone else have this, or know how to fix it?

the way I see Bluetooth is now like wifi even when it's off it's on but since it's in a low energy state it really shouldn't be draining your battery I've easily gotten 15+ hours while actually using the Bluetooth to play games with my moga controller and using my deck
I have the same issue.. im stock t-mobile on kit kat... and im currently getting the same amount of battery i was getting on my lg nexus 5.. which kind of sucked.. I dont think theres a fix yet
My battery life is horrible and Idk what to do

Maybe Phone Carrier
I think it's maybe related to your carrier too. They change something in the ROM to make compatible with network then release to your phone. For International and Korean Version is ok. But can you try to reset, if the problem still exist?
I have sprint and have been dealing with same issue since kk update. I don't even use bluetooth, always off, but yet saying keep awake 5hrs on a battery cycle.
I only experience it when I have wifi on at the same time, its weird.
From my experience on my phone, it's just a wrong reporting. Even with BT allegedly draining according to the battery stats, my battery life is still the same as before.
