I searched the forum and couldn't find an answer to my problem. When you go into battery under settings if you click on battery saver it says on. But if you press the refresh icon or exit and go back it will show its off. So I figure I make a post for anyone else who may be having the same issue. Obviously most folks on xda like to keep their phones free from bloat. In the process you might have disabled moto assist. Battery saver needs moto assist to function. So if you enable moto assist accept an update from the app store battery saver will work fine. It will also auto activate when reaching 15% battery life.

the 1positive with mine so far is the battery. i go all day (12-14hrs) with moderate use and still have 30% charge when i plug it in.
That's terrible. You got an app freaking out. I noticed a huge drop in battery life when I put on a different sms app.

Not sure what the issue is yet, I was charging my phone. Now I took it off the charger and have better battery stats installed. I will monitor it and let you know.

Held awake for 3 hours because your screen was on for almost that long. Right?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
one thing that really kills this battery is the setting under location access "wifi and mobile network location" if you have that enabled google services keep the phone awake and drain the battery. I disabled that and my battery last so much longer now.
Well guys, something is still eating my battery alive. I went to bed with over 40% battery and I woke up with 7% left.
Here are my screenshots from better battery stats. Can anyone figure out what's eating me alive?

NLP-Network Location Process-seems to be your biggest issue. My best bet would be settings>accounts>Google>google+>location

Yeah, good tip. If that doesnt work, go to Maps and disable history and location reporting as well. Might want to disable Wifi and mobile network location under the global location settings as well. This prevents other programs from eating up battery trying to access location when GPS is off. Restart your phone after diasbling any of these, then check battery life
Ok guys, here is how my battery has been doing since I made the changes that everyone suggested. Am I in good shape?

Lol nice. The only complaint that I have about this is that I had to turn off every single location based setting in the phone. I've never had to do that on my previous phones. It never drained like this on my S4 with those settings on.
The root of my complaint is that I can't even get weather updates on my widget because it is all turned off. And I always like to have the weather widget on my main screen. Which single setting can I turn on to get weather updates? I will leave the other ones off.

Getting eaten alive again. What are these top two things?

Power management wakelocks in the kernel is a placeholder for partial wakelocks. Look at the partial wakelock list for details. I had a terrible *backup* partial wakelock that had a start count of 3000 within 8 hrs!!! It was killing my bat. Check yours, it might be that same if its not the location wakelocks acting up again
It is a Google service and I have disabled location services and Google Now. Does not seem to make a difference. I have looked everywhere and have come up with nothing. I have the phone set up basically the same apps as my N4 and my Nexus is crushing my G2 in battery life. Any ideas would be great on what is causing this.

Are u talking about google service that you see when you go into battery usage options? If yes, im in the same boat as you.
What percentage of battery doew the google service use?
I would like to know how to take care if this problem as well

add me to the list of people this is driving nutzo.
Question, when you go to google sync under settings/accounts and sync, does it show that 'sync is not available at this time?'
I wonder if that could be causing it?
I am waiting for my case to make it my daily driver but last night I tinkered and went and set up all my Google apps and changed my Google plus photo to only upload on charger. When I turned it off it was deep sleeping and and that wake lock was no where to be found. If anyone wants to try this and see if it helps.

Are you in an area with poor reception?
You can try turning GPS and WiFi off when not in use.
You can also root your phone and feeeze/remove bloatware.

I had the same issues after my update. I then went and froze mobeam, all Knox services, enterprise.knox, knoxs.eventmanager, and a Security wipe apk. Let my note drain all the way until it powered down. Let it charge full cycle while turned off. So far work 1hr and 45 mins of on screen on time I'm down 15%. I feel like that's decent. Been on xda app pretty heavy and 2 different games straight with no screen timeouts

Best tip I can give in general, whether you're experiencing bad battery life or not, is to learn how to bring down the Google based wakelocks across play store, youtube, account sync, maps, hangouts/talk etc
So how does one do this? First, do the obvious by going into each Google app - Menu key - settings - and untick things such as annoymous usage data, google mob ads etc. Delete apps you don't use if you're rooted too.
Disable Account Sync altogether if you can, location services in gps settings, bluetooth, nfc
More advanced things you can do is learn about "wakelocks" here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827676

My battery life has gone to hell since the 2nd 4.4.2 update on [email protected] last week. I was getty 36 to 48 hours every time. As soon as the new update went in things changed the next day. Now I am lucky to get10 to 12 hours out of it. I have started pulling app but nothing has worked.
The battery drain on my once perfect S4 is now worse then on my LG Thrill!
Some things that helped control my battery in Kit Kat
In KitKat Google changed how location services works which seems to cause a lot of the battery drain issues. If you have Wi-Fi turned off during sleep, apps are likely trying to get your location using GPS which will easily drain your battery. It seems like even with Location Services is turned off that some apps can still continue to try and request location. Personally I like using the location services and that many apps use in Android so completely disabling wasn't an option for me.
I've played around with it quite a bit myself and found these settings have helped me::
-Leaving Google Location Services on at High Accuracy has been better on my phone's battery life.
-Leave Wi-Fi always on if it's available. (Use something like Llama or Tasker to automatically turn Wi-Fi on and off.)
-Setup My Places in Locations that correspond to Wi-Fi, etc
-Try uninstalling/reinstalling updates to Google Search, Google Play Services and Google Play Store
-Go through your apps and uninstall anything you aren't using or is not from a reputable developer. A lot of apps seem to have keep awake and location permission enabled by default that don't need it. You won't see these apps in the battery screen because they hide behind tiny wake lock requests and Google Play Services.
Another tip for saving battery is to use LLama or Tasker to disable Account Syncs any time you disconnect from a Wi-Fi network.
Good Luck and Cheers
Hi guys. Call me stupid, but I can't get the battery percentage to disappear! Am using 3minit battery mid and have 2 battery indicators! Doesn't seem to be an option in settings to turn it off!? Also wanna closed and gravity box won't work!

Took me a little bit to find it the first time as well. I guess they put it there because that menu deals with the battery. I initially looked through the Display menu to try to find it.
