Just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone happens to be getting a lot of partial wakelocks without screen on or if your overall battery life has decreased since installing the 4.1.1 OTA. When I first purchased the phone, I had very very few incidents under my battery info where I would have a session awake without the screen on. Post update, seems like I've got a ton of really small wakes with no screen activity. I have turned off Google Now and every GPS/Location setting I could find. Downloaded Better Battery Stats today so I'm going to see if I can get some better info on what's going on, new to the program though and I don't understand most of the info that it reads.
Prior to the update, letting my phone sit overnight I would maybe see a 3 or 4% drop over the course of say six or seven hours. Now I'm seeing a 3 to 4% drop in battery per hour, more if I'm actively using the phone. I'm going to do more testing, specifically overnight to see how it fairs. Just wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone else is experiencing any of these issues.

I am noticing the same thing. Don't know the cause. Keep sync off all day.

Im getting the fast dormancy symptom again... no matter what i tried I cant fix it... always connecting as HSPDA+ even if im not using......anyone got any ideas?
Hmm, might try a factory reset and not installing any apps at all and seeing how it fairs. By chance, do you guys have any of the stock bloatware apps disabled? Not rooted/Frozen, but just disabled via the apps menu? Wondering if perhaps disabling any of them might be a trigger.

Yea i'm getting that. I'm using 13% overnight now vs like 4% before. Not sure about the wakelocks though.
Some random things I've noticed are the blur widget resets itself alot. And the transition to the settings window on the left is laggy. How would one revert back to ICS? Google Now is not that worth it to me and the phone was smooth enough before. I'd take the battery life over the new features.
I did buy a second Razr M for my girlfriend that's still on ICS. I guess I can do a side by side compare this weekend.
I am loving the update.. only issue so far is fire fox crashing..no battery issues. Must be settings guys..

i don't think it is setting i have all my syncs to manual, and i have been noticing a lot worse battery life since the update i would have 18+ hours or so off charger with pretty heavy texting / game / some voice calls. Now i'm not getting close to that. I just disabled the fast dormancy service to see if that helps any, ill post back results
Just did a factory reset today, I'm not going to disable any of the bloatware this time, and I only installed BetterBatteryStats as well as updated all the default apps in the Play Store. Going to see if I get any wakelocks this time around.
Last night, after a period of 6 hours, I had over an hours worth of partial wakelocks from AlarmManager (subheading Phone).
-Matt :good:
I disabled Google Now and my phone used 7% battery over 6 and a half hours. A little bit better.
A factory reset (annoying as it is) helped me considerably. My phone was also seriously laggy before the reset...slow like my old DX on GB, much worse than factory ICS. It finally feels smooth now, like JB should.
Still seeing a lot more wakelocks than on ICS, but it doesn't seem to be draining the battery like it was before the reset. I also removed or disabled a couple of apps that seemed to be serious offenders (Accuweather was one).
Did a reset on mine as well and did not restore from Google backup. Still seeing wakelocks, but as someone noted earlier they don't seem to be draining the battery too much. With that said, the battery does still seem to tick down much faster than on ICS. One thing I did find that helped, although honestly it's not really a solution, is turning off data use when I'm out and about just answering texts and such. If I have data/wifi disabled, I'm getting closer to the battery life that ICS was giving, but then again who wants to go around having to toggle data on and off every time you want to look something up.

Is maps showing up on your battery stats and you're not using it? If so, simply open the application. It should say "updated to the latest version" or something like that. If this is happening, this will solve your battery problems.
Happened on my Galaxy Nexus and was happening initially for this phone too. Hope this helps someone.
Modem Fast Dormancy Monitor Service Not Responding.
Me and my wife both updated to KitKat on our Razr M's. I like it so far. The pop up about modem fast dormancy bothers both of use. When you look under battery, it uses more battery than other apps. I force stop it, reboot and it comes right back. A chat on Motorola web site sugested to wipe partition cache. The link that was provide gives the wrong instructions. KitKat using the power and volume keys has changed. They forgot to tell some people. That didn't work! I sent a long email to Motorola telling them that someone messed up or they did this for a reason! I guess if you get mad enough you'll just buy a newer phone. If that one thing is fixed, we would both be happy. The white background in text take some getting use to also. I hope Motorola will help us, but I kind of think Razr M's will be considered OLD! They are betting we will junk them for a new model.

Sorry! My bad. I didn't notice it was closed. Why do they not take old olds off line.
So I took the plunge after growing tired of waiting for the Nexus 2.
There's no doubt this is a super slick Android experience (I've come from a modded Advent Vega)
Gorgeous screen (although I have bottom right hand corner light bleed, but not too bad) and pretty swift.
The battery problem started right away and I'm wondering if any one else has experienced this.
I started the updates to 4.4.2 right away, this took about 10 minutes and the battery drained from 100 - 80%.
The battery dropped 3-4% every 10 minutes - in effect a 5 hr battery life.
When it got down to 50%, BAM! It instantly dropped to ZERO.
Seriously underwhelmed....

Hi,
How is battery life after it shut down and you recharging? Maybe it was a post installation bad battery life... Also be sure to have the screen brightness low. Some other user had the same 50% issue, I don't remember what he did to fix or if he fixed, you may want to be interested into reading his thread,
Please, check the battery life after you charge it and if it's still THAT bad, I'd recommend calling a Service Center.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
OK I take back what I said about being underwhelmed. Battery life could be better but the experience is superslick. Coming from a Vega, holy moly...
I recently bought an iPhone and regretting it. Apple have a lot of catching up to do. Google are nailing it, from the OS to the ecosystem, and the nexus is a dream to use.
So I recharged to full
Screen set to auto and around 40%
Blue tooth off
Screen hasn't slept at all
Activities:
3 hrs Downloading apps and surfing
1 hr video streaming
1.5 hrs video playback (non HD)
10 mins of need for speed
Result:
6 hrs with 5% remaining = 6 hrs 15m
Not terrible, but not great given the charging time. Having read a lot about the battery life I saw 7hrs video playback with screen on full so I'm a bit dissapointed. The bleed is minor and I can live with it.
Opinions and experiences welcomed, does this feel right?

Hi,
Glad my answer could make you see a little more further . My experience is with it running in an even lower screen brightness, screen sleeping some times and also playing some heavy games or surfing the web. Aldo I have Fedora 19 running background.
That gives me 8-9h of battery life, also temperature here is more or less 28-30°C . Temperature influences a lot battery .

Do a stock flash 4.4.2 it fixes issues which arise when you do a 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 OTA upgrade. I never knew the reason why and it might be just do a reset to factory within settings might be just as good, but I just did a flash stock. My suspicion is this relates to formatting the filesystem with newer software may make it faster for I/O, because I found file-copying faster and less CPU in 4.4.2.

Is this issue got fixed after full recharge? I got the same issue for the out of box piece.
For 10 mins of browsing it is consuming 3% of the battery. Is this normal?
I left my tablet in sleeping mode and came to work. Need to see what happens once I back home.

My nexus 10, darined all of a sudden from 56% to 0. Is that OK. Do I need to ask for a replacement?
Thanks in advance.
My N10 which is 13 months old had this issue last night.
Used it for a while after it was fully charged. Turned it off at 90% but it was completely dead today, had to charge it for a while to get it to start.
Anyone send one of these back bought from Google Playstore in the UK?

All of a sudden the Android OS usage of the battery shot up to 76%. I usually get around 2% per hour but now I'm getting a 2% drain in 15 mins. The battery page shows Android OS as the culprit, Wakelock Detector isn't showing anything up and BetterBatteryStats just says Android OS is the big user. Easy One Hand has also appeared although I don't have this switched on.
I have done a restart of the phone earlier this morning to see if there was a rogue app kicking around and I've just finished charging it up to 100%.
Has anyone else experienced any issues in the last 24 hours?

Well, with so many people in the same boat, i have been having the same exact thing, what i found that even with the Location services disabled, the Android System still shows as location "running" in App Ops.
Check for this, Download app ops starter from market and under location check the android system, if you see location running then just disable it. it have no effect on any apps. You will get your battery back
Same here
I have the same problem, I am 100% stock.
What I noticed is if I reboot my phone the battery will behave correctly for a couple of days then suddenly Android OS will take over and drain it
With Android OS drain I get
3% drain per hour with no use (Wifi on every 20 min to sync)
10% drain overnight (7/8 hours with wifi on every 1 hr)
sometimes I have like 30 mins screen on time and the Android OS CPU total and Keep Awake over 3 hours (lol)
Normally, I get barely 1% drain per hr during the day if not using it and almost no drain at night
I already disabled NewsStand and I am about to try to disable Google+ even though I like the Auto-Backup feature.

Ah you see this is where saying "Oh there's loads of stuff on this issue" is a bit premature. Yes I've read all that stuff and yes I got my battery life to a happy place.
Now since yesterday evening, I've suffered battery drain and was posting to see if anyone else had noticed a similar increase. It's a sudden change which would suggest that either Google have changed something or an app has changed in some way (although I'd expect an app to show up as itself rather than Android OS). A couple of months ago there was an update to Google Play Services that caused similar issues and was quickly fixed by Google. My not pointless post was to see if anything similar had happened in the last 24 hours.
OK then, I'm over and out. I had this Android OS drain just once. Didn't bother to look into it too much. I've let the battery drain till 15%, rebooted the phone, charged it till 100 and that was it. Hope you sort it out.

Greenify apk use this app its shut down all aps working backgroud
I was on this rom N9005XXUDMJ7 , and I have tried everything that is written on the internet but I couldn't solve the problem. Recently I have upgraded to the latest rom in the link below , and the problem has disappeared.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647861
I think I've sorted it. It's early days yet but it appears to have been an update to the gReader widget. I've removed it and everything is settling down nicely. I'm going to let it drain though and then recharge it so I won't know for another day or so.
Greenify would be the best choice since you are on stock ROM. Disable some bloatware and you will observe improved battery life. Greenify requires root and Xposed Framework though.
Stock, no force encrypted rooted . This is one hour and 10 minutes of SOT .. includes 40 minute jog on GPS with music on blue tooth headphones .... . Any tips? Tried pure Nexus last week and even that seemed like trash in mine... Frustrated enough I'm considering the v20 so I can replace battery instead of needing new device

Personally Id tried clean flash and get better battery stats to see if there's something going on. Could be an app/apps that are waking it up and keeping it awake.
Im using latest PN with elementalx & Darkspice 7.5 and Im VERY pleased with the results.
You could also try calibrating your battery.
You may have a rogue app killing your battery. A ton of possibilities. I wouldn't call automatically a battery problem. You have to narrow it.

Yes, I have rebooted my device. Not sure if an app went rogue but some have definitely been updated. not sure about screen on time or wakelocks, but I do have greenify installed. I am playing clash of clans most of the time the phone is unlocked.
I am kind of a noob so I am not really sure how to trouble shoot it.
Same here, I have my phone since October 2015 and from the beginning of 2017 the battery is so bad I charge it 3 to 4 times a day because I am a heavy user. I think what made it go this bad I used to drain my battery then charge it to full, I have been reading it is better practice not to let the battery drain it will make the battery last longer, if you have moto support in your country get a new battery, problem solved.

Games like Clash of Clans are somewhat heavy on battery. Are you using Wi-Fi or cell connection to play? They that you take a bigger hit on mobile data typically. If you are rooted, use an app like gsam or better battery stats to get more detailed battery results. I know BBS will give you SOT and wakelocks among other things.
For the most part Greenify will help some, but it is geared for suspending/hibernating apps that you want to prevent s staying in the background.
Looks like Governor settings were changed to me personally, even for clash of clans that's heavy drain. I can get straight 2 hours SoT with Coc a lot of the time. When your in battery tap screen, you'll get the info on how long you get.
Also, I recommend looking up "cpu monitor" in the store, the second one listed is the one I've always used. After a day or two of it running you should get a good idea if you have a app or service doing it.
I have had the same problem. I have a day one Moto X Style (Pure) and 3 or 4 months ago the battery life dramatically changed. At the end 1 month ago the phone started to power off at the rest of 35% battery power. Because of an unlocked bootloader my guarantee was gone. So i ordered an original Motorola FX 30 Battery (2810/3000 mAh min/typ is important!) on eBay. Do not buy any other battery than the original one. Other batteries (for example the white looking ones on ebay) are not original and turbo power (fast charging) will not work!
A smartphone shop nearby helped me to change the battery. Now the phone works like on day one. Good luck.
