Battery Review for Moto G 2nd gen. - G 2014 General

Many people are curious about its batter backup that's why im writing this post...
It is my personal usage review.. others may differ..
*note: people yelling about slow charging rate please switch to another charger.. ur phone will charge in an hour from 0 - 100 %
I am a Gamer, College student dats y usage of camera and screen is heavy.
I use to play games like FIFA 14 & EA real racing, shoot with cam in college.. simply 50 - 60 shots a day.. use college wifi for nearly 2hrs avg.. calling friends.. 30 calls avg.. (I don't use data connection 2G/3G)
and after the day when i come home battery is still 30-40% remaining..
Even after college I use my Home wifi for about 2 hrs then battery gets critical.. yesterday at 21:00 hrs battery was 15%...!!
So I don't know its a Good or a Bad battery backup...
you guys decide...
I just reviewed my usage..!
I will say Go For It.....!

i should i said "anybody that owns a Nexus One:How is the battery life? "
I got mine with about 30%, took about 3 hours to kill it completely, I didn't put it down the whole time, I was on Gtalk, web, handcent and downloaded about 80 apps, my brightness is set to 50%, had GPS and WiFi off, 3G on. Seems alright so far, I'm charging it now that I let it die completely, so I feel like I'll get real results after that, but if it only takes 10% an hour to use it like I have been it will be more than fine for me in daily use.
I got 8 hours on mine on 3G with 1 hour of gps
Very, very preliminary:
Got mine at 11:00 this morning, charged it (turned off) to 95% by 13:30, have been playing with it for about 20-30 minutes per hour all day (so probably about 3 total hours of "use"). No phone calls, but lots of 3G. It's now 17:15, and the battery is at 56%. Screen is on next-to-lowest brightness, reception is good in my area.
Seems on-par-with or slightly-better-than my Dream.

Blows the G1 out of the water by far. I used navigation (gps) for 4.5 hrs straight on battery and still had enough juice left over to make it through the evening.
I've also made it 48 hrs on a single charge with fairly light usage. Even on days when I hardly put the thing down I don't run out of juice before I go to bed.

Yes sir you are right, I installed over 85 apps and I didn't even lose a quarter of my battery life. On g1 i would be down at least 50%.
+1 to the above 2 posters
Fully charged with Wi Fi on, my phone lasted just over the 12 hours of my shift. So just good enough in my book.

Battery - up 'n running for

...4 hours of heavy usage (wifi connection and 3g on but idle)
Mid to periodical usage could reach 24h.
6th day of usage....
i think this is mediocre for me. please report your battery performance to compare.
Any tips to improve this?
I can get around 8-10 hours with heavy usage... constant music, etc.. and about 2-3 days with light-medium usage.

Hmm so i guess there is a problem with my device.
Great!, and how am i supposed to explain this to the service?
I get about 12 to 15 hours of heavy usage via web, text, and email. If i watch video it's less but I am pretty happy with the battery thus far.

I can only get around 7 hours of use.
I have a problem that if i even dont use it, the battery still drain. I got it full charged and theb unplug it. About 8 hours later, it went down to 50%.
Is there any problem with my device?

same here. i don't know how you guys are getting so much better battery life. i can barely last a day and i don't use it all that much. maybe 2-3 hrs of surfing the web over wifi (not even 3g). i even used setcpu to underclock to 200Mhz when screen is off.
Maybe it has something to do with the very first charge.
When i unboxed the battery was fully charged so i drained it and had it charged for 8 hours. maybe it needed to be charged prior first usage.

Is that 12-15 hours with the screen on? Because that's much more than I'm seeing.
I've done a few measurements just to get an idea of the battery life. They are just extrapolations based on a few hours of runtime for each so they are by no means exact, but my impression is that they give a decent view of real values nonetheless. The battery percentage indicator does not seem to be terribly non-linear.
Video playing (SD quality) with full brightness: 5.5 hours
Video playing (SD quality) with lowest brightness: 9.5 hours
Idle at homescreen with full brightness: 6 hours
Idle at homescreen with half brightness: 9 hours
Idle at homescreen with lowest brightness: 12 hours
Music playing in headphones (screen off): 90 hours
Can't believe how lazy reviewers seem to be, I haven't read a single one where they have properly measured battery life for things like playing movies or reading an ebook. It's all just subjective feelings (which are obviously very unreliable).
All in all I am pretty pleased with the battery life (but I've just had it for a few days). I especially like the fact that it's basically a normal Android phone just with a giant screen and battery. This obviously means that standby and music playing times are going to be excellent.
Edit: Those of you who think you're seeing bad battery life, what does the battery use thingy in settings say? Or is that not a good tool?
I read a post somewhere where the OP was getting horrible battery life and found out that the Gallery app was draining the battery.
The OP in that thread said even exiting the app did not kill it, and it kept draining the battery.
Perhaps you can look into this more. I never use the gallery app so maybe why this is why i get decent battery life?
Edit to add:
Here is the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826472&highlight=gallery
If it's this post you're referring to it's by me . The Gallery application shows up under battery use though, so I'm pretty sure that's not it.
Are you sure it's really as much as 12-15 hours with the screen always on? If it were 9-10 hours with brightness at half it would around what I'm seeing I guess, but 12-15 is quite a lot more. Not that I'm disappointed, but if better is possible better is what I want

No not 12-15 hours with the screen always on.... I get 12-15 total... Screen on for usage, off for a while, back on to email and SMS ect...
Ah ok, then there's no discrepancy .
I got 10 hours from full to complete off. I was using it to watch streaming movies on 3g
for a couple of hours and then watch a movie off of the sd card and an episode of supernatural.
After that its just web and ebook reading. Its pretty good. Almost the same as my ipad.
I got a total of around 14 hrs plus with wifi and edge on, screen brightness at 20%, around 7 hrs of standby while i was asleep at night, with 4 hrs of heavy surfing, youtube etc. . . No calls though, only some sms and always on IM with nimbuzz logged in.
What i am seeing is with heavy usage i.e. Multiple apps running, wifi and edge on, i get anywhere between 5-7 hrs of battery life which i think is fair enough for a device this size which am constantly fiddling with.

Can someone please post,
Using the supplied mains charger, how long does it take to fully re-charge a drained Galaxy Tab?
As it is a large battery what sort of charging times to expect?
(This is while NOT using the device).

Sorry guys,I didn't notice that this is for galaxy tab...forgive me : )

I've not used mine for that long, but the Battery Left app(which I found to be quite accurate on my N1) shows that for MY usage, I'll get about 25hrs.
I've got the auto dim turned off, and brightness at max. I mainly use mine for checking emails, txting, and a few games.
Nothing heavy.
I'd recomend the Battery Left app to you guys looking to find out your battery life. You DO have to "train" it though, which requires a 100%-0% run for you.
Guys,
does.anyone know, do we need to cycle the battery to give it the best performance?
Example, charge up the unit, then drain it completely and recharge it again? Like in the old days.
mine hasnt gone down much. I have it unplugged at 6am and at 4pm i still have about 75-80% batt left.
This is with about approx. 2 hrs of talk and 30mins of data usage and voice calls paired to my BT headset. My screen brightness is set to 40%

I once got up to 20 hours of moderate usage. But with heavy usage I get about 12 hours or more. I lose about 7% when watching an episode using flash....kinda sucks but I watch a lot of anime online. But I use this as my main phone too. Its replaced my nexus completely. though it was nice with my nexus cuz I could swap batteries. This is how I condition my battery. I let it get to about 2-5% then I recharge it. I don't let it get to zero cuz I heard you can damage the cell. sometimes I charge it to about 20% then I unplug it and drain it to 5% then back up to full. I just kinda switch it up. At first I was getting horrible battery life but ever since I started conditioning it this way I get great results.

BATTERY LIFE: Screen On Time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Note5 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I usually get around 3.5-4 hours of screen on time before the phone needs a power-up.
So today is one of my heavy usage days. This is how it goes pretty much. Wake up around 6 am get, get on my phone, check notifications, hop on a few social games, get on social media, watch videos from social media, check my favorite website, get on some games, check some more websites, battery gets a little low so I charge up, and while it's charging I get my day started.
That's heavy usage for me and thats what I did all day today so far. Here's some screenshots just prior to me writing this post, tell me what you think.
Now some might think it's bad, but I've been on my phone pretty much non stop.
i'm getting 30-40 min more than the S6 edge ussually 4 hours screen on time, auto brightness, mobile data, wifi, 3 gmail sync, Facebook and messenger...I probably wouldn't get this phone if it wasn't for the quick charge ability.
I am very happy with battery life. I don't game and I don't watch tons of YouTube and I'm connected to a WiFi network most of the day. But this is the best in terms of battery life of any phone i have ever had, including the one plus one. Typically get 8 to 10 hours screen on time but I've gotten as high as 12 before. Auto brightness, location disabled most of the time. Stock, 200+ apps disabled with package disabler pro.

Averaging 5-7 hours on a busy day, everything is turned on except for a few bloat apps which are disabled.
I dont understand how you use you phone for 12 hours in a day..Do you have a job? I will get up at 7am and talk maybe for an hour on my phone and have 3 hrs max screen on time before I end my day at 10 pm with 45% battery left..more or less.
I'm seeing about 7 hours SOT. Auto brightness, nothing disabled, syncs on.
Sent from my SM-N920I using Tapatalk
Its impossible for 12h SOT.. can you share some screenshoot for sot 12h without charging from 100% until 1%.. i dont belive if no screen shoot..
My device is on battery for 4 hours 37 minutes 51 seconds since last charge.
SOT is 58 minutes 36 seconds.
My battery percentage is 74%.
Is this normal or bad ??
I purchased my phone for yesterday and charged it till full. I never charge for continuous 8 hours.
Is this normal or bad ? Shall i charge it for 8 hours ?
Typical days my battery only lasts about 12-13hours before its sub 10%. Some days it's better but typical office days are rather poor battery life from past android and iOS devices with similar use. Attached are my thumbnails. As you can see I am only getting 2 hours of screen on time. It def appears I have an issue with my Moto 360 using excessive battery and I am not sure why as most things are disabled on the watch and the watch battery is usually north of 75% when I goto bed.
Ever since I reset my phone back to factory resettings (rooting caused my phone to slow down), i've been experiencing some great battery life and smoothness(obviously)
6 hours SOT with 7% left. 1 day and 6+ hours of regular usage, nothing too heavy.
YRAJ23- Thats perfectly normal. It should come out to around 4 hours of SoT. You can charge the phone for 8 or more hours because it knows when to stop charging. You cannot overcharge any modern smartphone.
U should get at least 5hrs sot unless playing games and watching YouTube! Disable Samsung and Google bloats like Google+ and use Greenify app from Oasis Feng on play store to hibernate most of your downloaded apps which cause battery drain. Put your brightness in the 40-60% and if possible ideally in the 25% range indoors!
Ive been debating picking up a note 5 now that is avail in Canada in 64gb and silver but reading through this has me reconsidering.
I get better battery life from both my current devices and without being able to swap batteries 4 to 5hrs SOT is not ideal given my lifestyle/ work schedule

Fairly normal 2.5-3.5 hours on weekdays, bc school WiFi drains battery like ****. On weekends typically average 3.5 on 3G/LTE because reception where I live isn't exactly top notch. At home however, 5-6 hours is pretty much the norm, bc my home WiFi rocks.
I normally get 15-16 hours on battery with 4-5 hours of screen on time. i did a video playing a game and timing it. if you want to check it out here from the video you'll see depending on your settings i could get between 4-6 hours of onscreen time with goat sim running.

Exact same here, yet I see these people with 6, 7 even 8 hours of screen time on one charge. How? Are they sitting there with WiFi and the cell radio turned off, just watching clips and doing offline stuff? I just don't understand how they can manage to pull that many hours out of the battery. I struggle to break past 4 hours. But 8? Freaking double? I'm not buying it.

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Moto G7 Power before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Loving the battery life. I have the XT1955-2 dual sim, I believe its for the Mexican/Latin market. After using it for 5 days and giving it a few full charges, I'm having no problems getting 12 hours of screen on time. Right now I'm at 54% with a screen on time 7 hours and 54 minutes. Yeah the phone has some short comings, I bought for the battery life and it is exceding my expectations. Wonder what the single sim phone will do.
What apps do you use? Do you keep gps or Bluetooth on? Is most usage on wifi or LTE?
Impressive Battery
I have bought Moto G7 Power too, the European Model. Its battery life is impressive really! I keep open 4G at all times and I get about 14 hours of SOT.
I am sorry in advance not trying to insult or anything when it comes to battery life of any smartphones in general
But under heavy usage. How long can this phone last?
I'll be travelling soon so i need the longest battery possible
=============================================
If anyone is kind enough to conduct one test on this device
There is an app called "photorealism benchmark 2018" (very heavy GPU infinite test)
If someone can download this free and let the phone run from 100% > 0% with around 30% brightness on WIFI and see
I doubt it can last more than 5 hours of screen on time running this app

Hey there. Did you use any particular App to save battery life?
And how would you discribe your usage pattern?
Any special apps on daily, heavy usage?
I got around 5 hours SOT right now and fully charged around 24 hours ago with 60% juice left.
I feel like my battery life is a bit weaker than your experience. Or do I overreact ?

What kind of SOT type tho?
Just Youtubing and social media? 5000 mah can last hours / offline watching video via internal player can get this more than 15 hrs of SOT i think with 5000 mah?
What about under heavy usage like running GRAPHIC BENCHMARK continously?
35 hours on a charge
8.5 hrs SOT
Around 6 hrs at 100% brightness
More than happy with this phone. Especially at only $212.00

How is the camera, and does gcam portrait works ?
My battery life experience with moto g7 power, pt.1:
(Can't upload a Screenshot here for unknown reason)
Now: 6% left
Last charged: 2 days ago
Screen on time: 11h 21min
> last charged friday night (it's monday 9 a.m. now.)
> Tasks: watching YouTube videos, gaming, social media, WhatsApp, browsing, some internal tasks with arranging picture folders, encrypt media with an app, downloading from cloud. Shared a hotspot and connected a bt headset.
>Tried to not use screen that often. I think it does a decent job for what Motorola promises.

In my opinion Watching Youtubes / Social Media / WhasApp / Browsing do not drain the battery that much
Only running GPU or ALwAYs 3D GRAPHIC ON counts towards depleting the battery.
IF you can download photorealism 2018 free and using that app to drain your battery from 100% with 40% brightness you will see
Doubt anyphone with 5000 mAh can pass 6 hours SOT mark

Yes GCam is perfectly working, more info here
Closest to dead I've gotten mine is 42%.
Auto brightness, with brighter bias.
12hrs 48mins SOT
4hrs light gaming, 4hrs heavy gaming, Spotify the whole time, Reddit and forums, and 2hrs live TV.
My wallpaper is Sachs Marine Aquarium (photo realistic Aquarium). And yes, I stare at the fish sometimes. Quite relaxing.
No wifi, no Bluetooth. Some downloads, some app updates.
No phone calls. Minimal texting.

Very cool info so far in my opinion SIR for SOT of an smartphone
But, i was hoping you did super heavy usage of SOT
Hey guys i've played pubg from 100% battery to 0% (with high quality settings) + 50% screen brightness Plus example GPS all other features turned on in the background. ... etc
Additionally with multitasking in the backgrounds too.
Heavy usage?
Does this count?
4hrs MarioKart Tour, 2hrs TinyTower, 4hrs TV, 3hrs Reddit, Instagram and other social apps for another 2hrs.
I'm at 38%
80% brightness
GPS always on (testing weather in Kustom)
And about an hour in Kustom editor.
Live wallpaper at 60fps
Sometime soon, I plan on seeing how long this will do vr. That ought to be enough for a decent battery drain test
EDIT
Running this device around 70-80% of it's max speed seems to be the point where the battery starts to drain. What I mean is, pushing this device hard results in almost normal draining (compared to a standard battery size). Light to moderate usage seems to have no effect on the battery life, but larger more demanding tasks that push it clearly drain the battery. I'm trying to explain the battery barely drops until a big game is loaded. Then it drops slowly (but quick compared to light usage). I anticipate getting 8hrs of real gaming (psx emu) and still 8hrs light use.
For those who are rooted using Magisk, can you try the the FDE.AI module for a week or so and see if you are getting better battery life. I'm seeing some noticable improvement.
One last SOT update from me:
5hrs12mins Stardew Valley with max brightness and volume
Bluetooth Controller
1hr internet browsing
1hr social media
'8hrs 13mins Screen Usage Since Last Full Charge'
50% remaining
'11hrs remaining'
Feels safe to assume 12hrs SOT for me...
i want to buy that phone is the battery really good u get always about 5h screen on?
can anyonye upload pics from screen on

Heavy use endurance

Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Moto G7 Power's battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

There is an app called "photorealism benchmark 2018" (very heavy GPU infinite test)
If someone can download this free and let the phone run from 100% > 0% with around 30% brightness on WIFI and see
I doubt it can last more than 5 hours of screen on time running this app
Hey. I think I will soon upload my experience with light and heavy day to day usage. But if you like to know a bit more about the battery life, maybe this could already help you:

Thanks so much for replying.
I really love to see someone with 5000 mAh battery would do continuous hours test of running any 3D graphic app
like
1: Running 3D benchmark app from 100% > 0% with 40% of brightness and everything on
2: Playing / grinding levels in RPG/MMORPG games
3: Playing games continuously 100% > 0% with 40% brightness and everything on

Well I don't know if I will do some all day long 3d Benchmarks. And I don't think it would suit my needs in daily usage to be honest. I can only give info about the stuff I do with my phone day in and day out. But I will try to get some benchmarking out of your suggestions. But don't expect all too much ? I will do some heavy usage in terms of social apps, media apps, software usage, streaming and gps/ wifi/ data.

Thanks for taking your time and report in advance.
You do not have to run benchmarks just leave screen on with some 3D application on (motion 3D app that runs till battery dies)
Heavy usage in terms of social apps wifi can last you like 8-10hrs easily with 5000 mAh
(but everything else is on AS WELL AS 3D app) >> 5-6 hrs max of REAL SOT

Ok. I think I can do that. In terms of SOT i think the 720p display is also an advantage in terms of battery life. I will try to test with video and 3d application. Do you maybe have something in mind to use?

There are 2 major benchmark tests for free on GOOGLE PLAY
1: Photorealism 2018
2: A bit less power consumption Seascape
(im pretty sure photorealism 2018) will eat this 5000 mAh in about 5-6 hours from 100% > 0% with everything else is on (Sync,40% brightness, Wifi, LTE etc...)
Some people do battery drain with wifi only etc.. i think thats bit off
I prefer to test battery with all options TURNED ON (50% brightness, autosync, lte, cellular, gps)
Then i do battery drain with super heavy 3D tasks
(In this case, i call it under REAL HEAVY ENDURANCE)
1: Photorealism 2018

Sorry i didn't reply that long. I had some health issues. But i'll take those as indicator.
How good is heavy multitasking on this? Several apps open, a lot of browsing on Chrome, frequent WhatsApp/Viber and social media scrolling and camera snaps every now and then?
Moto = dog**** USB ports?
The USB port in my last Moto G(6) went out in about 4 months. I assumed it was a fluke, but 3 months in on the g7, its already 96% gone. VERY specific and random angles will charge but nothing else. Tried different cords, cleaning port, etc (both on this and the g6), doesnt matter. My only conclusion is that Moto uses cheap garbage on one of the most essential parts of the phone. Can anyone confirm this? Im sure I use my USB more than than the common person (Android development) but **** is 3 months a JOKE
Heavy usage experience - IMHO
I have used the Redmi Note 4S, Mi Max 2, Redmi Note 8T and Motorola G7 Power. My typical day is dealing with lots of email, web browsing, whatsapp, wechat some facebook and all the banking software. Mi Max 2 has been my choice of phone for a long time even though it barely carry me through the day. I start normally at 6am and finishes around 9pm. Since using Motorola G7 Power, 95% of the time it will still have power left after 9pm.... normally 20% battery or more. I just wish it has a nicer camera but it is fine with ample lighting. Even the Mi Max 2 will be exhausted 90% of the time before 9pm. As for the Redmi Note 8T, it barely last past 6pm and the even less with Note 4S. If you are a no nonsense worker that is not a gamer, this phone is like a workhorse. Let me know if you have any other questions.
GSM arena has a battery test comparison. Moto G7 Power, is close to the top. I'm very impressed with the battery life. It's the main reason I bought the phone.

For general uses like web browsing, banking, simple gaming, etc.,. This phone is PERFECT!

Don't know how it stacks up to the competition but when picking this phone from the Visible lineup it stood out on the factor of battery life alone.
I give it 5 stars because it has delivered as advertised. Approximately 3 days of battery life... And when I put it on its out of box charger the thing jumps at least 20 percent in an our or less time.
It's totally true... I don't have to feel afraid this thing is going to die on me. I just leave my charger in my room and plug it in (about a fifth of the time I used to think to charge my old phone). Normally I get a bit more conscious about it around 30 percent.
It's 1 am here... And I left my house at 5 pm yesterday. It was at 52 percent and now it's at 38. I've been streaming music, using Google maps... Making the occasional call. And browsing the web on it for the last hour.
I honestly think this phone would remain ready to ring for about a week if left entirely alone.
It's absurd and a great advantage in the notion of the need for a phone that isn't a pain in the @$$.
G7 Power - Battery
Bought mine 2 days ago so can not elaborate on USB-C robustness and overall reliability.
Below my experience so far:
Very bright screen, easy work on it outdoors even in sunny days (wish I could attach pics), if remember well, top brightness is ~630 candelas. IMHO one of the brightest LCD screens esp for a phone that sells for 160$ +Tax.
When got mine, I charged it to 100% before powering up.
After that decided to fully discharge it to give charge controller some data.
Biggest problem was discharging it, took forever:
I was playing YT videos at full brightness in full screen and in windowed mode to make sure it is not going into standby while also texting, updating system and apps and having hotspot running on it (Mobile signal strenght was at ab 50-70%)
It took ab 9hrs (test was going on for ab 10+ but few times forgot to return on time to click on YT button to continue video playback so it went into sleep).
Phone shut down after reaching 1% of battery capacity
Recharging was done on USB-C 60W charger from my Chromebook instead of stock 15W,
phone entered turbo charge state without any issues or overheating:
After 15 min of charging - batt charge level 22%
after 2 hrs of charging - batt charge level 95%
Last 5% took about 30 min as I am sure charger was in a slow charge for safety.
I was performing full charge-discharge curve to train the battery controller so in real life I guess phone will go into charging at ab: 10-15% and be off the charger at 90% as the extra few percent makes no difference while unnecessarily extend charging time and stress on the lithium cell.
So I estimate total charging time in daily use scenario will be ab 90min every 2-3 days (in my case, no gaming no binge YT watching etc).
IMHO a very good workhorse for a heavy duty daily use (but not for gaming or advanced photography, video shooting) at very low price!

For me you are either a troll trying to make people put thermal damage on their phones or a real gaming addict that needs a high end gaming rig not a smartphone - mobile devices of any kind are not for hardcore 100% duty cycle gaming, video editing etc.
BTW G7 Power sell for 160$, pocket change, buy one and run on it any crazy and destructive tests you dream about.
