Hey could also do a video combining the battery life of all Roms
Also I would like to share this video with my friends, if you don't mind

Very good video .. I'm subscribed to the channel.
Iván!

Who thinks Android L 5.0 would increase Moto G's battery life ?

@NextGenGTR, What's the case you are using on your Moto G? It looks good and protective without ruining the look of the device.

Hi I don't know if this would be of any help but
I had the xt1032 which drained really fast. I tried using different chargers and calibration but it was of no use. When I got to Motorola they said that my battery's total hold capacity was only 20%. They changed my battery and I bought a Motorola charger from them. Since then I have no problems in charging my device and it gives me a pretty good battery life

Wow, 20% is very low, was your boot loader unlocked when you did this as mine currently is and I think it would be an issue. Thanks

I will try and wait to test out android L as maybe it is 4.4.4 as other people have noted that there battery life has decreased with 4.4.4 so maybe it is a Kitkat problem, i really do hope that Android L helps with the battery, thanks a lot <3

Subscribed. Awesome.
Please press THANKS if interesting. Sent from Moto G-od via xt1033 free Android app.

Best way to save battery is to install Disable Service and to shutdown location from google play services and some sync services.If you dont know how to use it search google.It also saves u ram.

Most of these were already done. The best change are ART upgrade & disable animation for me.
Only confusion is wifi optimization uncheck. It actuals says reduce battery usage but @op recommends otherwise.
@op what is the best cover/case to protect front screen in your opinion.

I am using the original grip shell which i bought for £4 however it is very loose and it creeks a lot, i would recommend an otterbox which is expensive or a chinese designed otterbox that is cheaper, for example there is one black one which is £5 and it is like an otterbox

Dear ics users!

I've been pondering over whether or not to upgrade to ICS now as the german version is released. My question is whether or not the battery life is similar to what you get with gingerbread. I've attached an image of what i get on a normal day, when i am at work and use my phone normally and not when i am sitting at home and never let my phone hit deep sleep!
Sure you get a lot of added features but battery life is what i really care about at i need to go sometimes two days without charge.
Got around 74 pct after 9 hrs of extreme light usage.

How does it compare to ICS hour by hour? any difference would you say?
I would skip this Samsung release of ICS. Samsung's interpretation of ICS is not terribly different then GB unless you run a different launcher. I thought battery life was worse on the German release. With the added risk of bricking a few have experienced, don't do it.
If you want try the ICS, go with this one;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627854
With this one, you can easily and safely role back to GB from a nandroid backup. This one does not have Touchwiz and the SPen is not fully functional as it is in TW.
I find battery better on GB personally but not by much when u compare it to the silky smooth quickness of ICS

It's a shame because i really wanted to put ICS on but if my battery is going to die out in a day, will be pointless to have. Thanks for the advice people!
I'm getting about the same, maybe slightly better its hard to judge, yup never use your phone the same each day

For me so far samsungs 's ICS has not even been close to the battery life I got on Stunner. I'm a little disappointed but not enough to go back to ASOP or GB. Oddly enough I love TW with ICS Elements fused in.

It looks like it drops pretty quickly even when your screen isn't on. Are you sure you don't have wakelock problems? I think your battery life could be better, even without ICS.

Weird. The battery usage should nearly flatline in deep sleep.

Well i've just downloaded the app, xda edition ofcourse, lets what happens but judging from my deep sleep time, doesn't seem like i have a wakelock issue.
Any settings i need to change in the application or leave it to run its magic?
My battery life is noticably worse in ICS. I'm getting a lot of odd wakelocks that I never saw in GB.
This is my phone . You decide.

Well, if wakelocks aren't the problem.. Then I don't know.. ICS battery life seems better in general, but GB shouldn't be that different (and wasn't for me me I used it). Not that your battery life is bad or anything, but it could be better. Like I said, your phone in deep sleep should hardly use battery at all.
Well looks like I will have to test it out and see the outcome, looks like I shouldn't get my hopes up.

Out of curiosity, how much does she want? I can easily get a 7am-midnight day, with plenty left over, and I'm pretty much running stock + franco.Kernel, auto brightness on.

Hello Brian,
While we don't have a PowerSkin available for the device at this time, we do have a product coming out this year that should be able to help--a battery charger.
Please check out the press release at our site--on the blog--and if you like what you see, be sure to sign up for our newsletter for product releases and exclusive discounts. Good luck and Charge On!

She wants all day , unlimited like she had on her t989 with a laza extended battery . She won't let me root it so no Franco kernel.

Have you installed a ROM or a different Kernel?
So far my record was 9 days, yup, you hear it right 9 days. It was only sms and call use but still I haven't heard about such thing from anyone with any device (ofc android). But mostly I'm charging it once per 5-7 days since I bought nexus 7 2013, so as for anyone who are looking for for durable android phone - jackpot and bullseye in one time.
Oh, don't believe ? Here are screens made just seconds ago -
Click to view 3 screenshots from standby time, on screen and overall.
It says - 9 days left / 3d 19h standby time (last charged) / 42m on screen time. Also there was few calls, few sms and quick web browsing (most of screen on time). So... maybe 10 days these time ?
My Lg g pad supports almost a week with 15-16 of sot
You'll never get rid of it? 5 yrs from now? Yeah, I had a moto g and battery life was good. But I'll take performance and size (nexus 6) over battery life any day. But hey, that's just me.
I get a phone to have fun with, not to see how long I can go without charging.

I've got a OPO but the Moto G is a still a great device to mess around with. but like you say I'd rather have performance over battery (up to a point that is).
Completely stock, just root that I'm using for greenify, that's all. Now it's almost 8 days, 35% still left.

I know the Moto G is good, but you guys must never touch your phones.
Let it run to 0% battery and then see if you're singing the same tune
From my observations there is about a 1 in 5 chance of the eMMC being irreparably* bricked if the battery drops to the point of forced shutdown on any Moto G model (2013 or 2014)
*complete partition table loss, requiring the MBM-CI files which are still not available for Lollipop

There is simply a design flaw, discharge your device a few times and see for yourself.
I used to be satisfied with battery life of my XT1032 when I was on 4.4.4 ... Upgrade to 5.0.2 made it quite worse. :/

[PETITION] Get Samsung to Acknowledge and Fix Bad Battery Life with the Note 7

Removed since the battery seems great for other's. Might be a faulty device.
I haven't had any problem with the battery.
Me neither heavy user . yesterday I was surprised I removed of from charger at 7 30 am and at 8pm it was at 19%
i haven't had any issues at all. was actually quite happy with my battery life. so i don't see any reason for any kind of petition

No tips from my side. Same settings as manufacturer
No tips and tricks from my side. Its 5:33pm now I'm up since 6:45am ( phone not on charger) 56%.
Just check maybe some of your apps(Im pretty sure you did verified ) and by the way I'm on snapdragon and not exynos.

Battery life on Android P

I think you guys will be very happy with the battery life on Android P (FYI this is with Greenify installed and basic optimizations)
Let me know if you have any questions about battery life on Android P
Obviously apps stats at the bottom are messed up, considering they removed app stats and it is enabled as an experimental feature
I'm still getting the best battery life I've ever gotten from any phone on Oreo, so any improvements are all the better.

Yep, it's rooted. Just goes to show how deceiving SOT can be, and why you can't compare your stats to anyone else. My usage is based mostly on reading and posting on XDA, 90% on wifi, some phone calls, texts, YouTube, and chrome. Things change a lot for me when Summer comes with farm work and the device moving a lot. :good:

I like my devices stock. I had note 8 for a day or two but hated the battery life so instead got a pixel 2 XL. I get pretty good battery life but nothing like yours. I'm happy with 7hrs SOT
I have a Pixel 2, but I go back and forth between both forums since there's so much commonality.
I have excellent battery life on P, better than 8.1 with the same usage pattern. Like @Badger50 says you can't truly compare from person to person, only from release to release. I have 2 Gmail accounts syncing, 1 Exchange account on Nine, most of my communication is through Facebook Messenger, but I also make video calls through Duo, and I use GPS (Waze, Runtastic, etc) heavily. Good battery life for me would be awful for Badger, but my battery life compared to 8.1 is better.
looks like normal usage to me
I get 7hrs SOT, decent I guess
