[Q] Battery drain on moto g running 4.4.2

I hav been using moto g for the past 3 months. The phone worked perfectly for the 1st month. But after 1 month there is some battery drain issue.
When the phone is in standby the battery drain unexpectedly fast. i get a screen time of only abt 1.5 hours. During the night the battery come down by 25-30%(3g and wifi are both off). I have factory reset the phone but the problem still persists. I have also tried to keep the phone in safe mode when i go to sleep but the battery still drains heavily. The Battery drain in expected amount when i am using the phone. Battery saver apps doesnt seem to help the battery life. Thanx in advance.

Since you are on 4.4.2 could it be the mm-qcamera-daemon problem? The process is well known for causing battery drain if there are certain apps installed (like Snapchat or Skype).
Also known is higher battery drain after using GPS.
Maybe this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2654180 gives you some ideas how to isolate your problem

I have installed Skype. Maybe it is the cause. Thanks a lot for linking me to d right thread.

You're welcome!
So uninstalling Skype (or just updating? Not shure if there has been a recent fix) maybe help. Or wainting for 4.4.3 which shouldnt take too long

I have uninstalled Skype. but the battery still came down by abt 10% last night. so there may be another problem. 4.4.3 hopefully comes with a solution to the skype problem.

I have the feeling my answers seem a bit chaotic... Sorry for that.
Well at least now you know that Skype not seems to be the issue. I should have stated already that you could try an app like "Gsam Battery Monitor" or "Better Battery Stats" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809). They give you a detailed list of processes that consume battery.
Unfortunately I can not tell if and how good the work without root

I have tried gsam battery app. It jus showed normal stats nothing out of the ordinary... I have installed greenify n added a bunch of apps to it which I thought drains more battery. but Battery life has not increased.
I looked at d link from ur earlier reply. Many users face d same problem but for some of them rebooting solves the problem.
Don't think any installed apps r causing it.
I have switched over to ART runtime because I read that it has better battery efficiency. I'll use it for a couple of days n chk.
The battery drain graph when screen is off seems a bit steep than normal. Maybe it's a bug in 4.4.2.

[Q] Change the battery ? How to know ?

Hello there community. After owning the Nexus 5 for about 1 year and 3 months. My battery life has gone really bad in the last few weeks. I have tried calibrating it through sucking out the whole juice and bring it up to 100 % and such tricks, but the battery is still the same, draining a little faster than before. Im even underclocked and undervolted with Codeblue trying to save some juice, but is still is in a bad situation. So the question is, is it time to send it to service and change the internal battery ? Or most people are suffering after Lollipop ? etc... Any reply would be appreciated

Have you posted in the battery life sticky?

[Completed] what is the average battery life of a 1700 mah battery? please help ASAP/!!!

I wanted to know that what is the average life of a 1700mah battery ?
I have this phone, solo one, its lollipop, 1/GB ram , 1.3 GHz quad core with a 4.3 screen .
Its battery is draining very quickly. If I surf over 3g it can barely give me 2 hrs,gaming is worse, only an hour I think. I turned on WiFi and turned my phone into a hotspot and in 5 minutes 10 % was gone. Is this usual for this kind of battery? Also, when I run cpu-z , of shows my battery capacity as just 1000 mah . is it a bug or am I fooled ?
At the time of starting to write this , my battery was 46% now it is 42%.
When I went to service centre they just said that my battery has passed the "test".
Please help me.......

Hi
There is no such thing as average battery life.
Unusual battery drain can be caused by faulty firmware,phone or battery .
Try factory resting phone and see if it solves your problem.
Also check this thread for battery saving tips.

If the issue persists ,you can post in general Q/A for better help form peers.

Good day !

Two applications to download and use and save lots of battery life, and give a lot of performance boost is:
Go Battery Saver
Clean Master
Just search on Google play
Hope this helps

And I have answered it. There is no such thing as average battery life .
A poor firmware with memory leaks can give abysmal battery life like yours.
Same thing if you have a poor battery or some defect in phone.
I had suggested a factory reset to rule out one possibility of faulty firmware.
There could be background services eating off your data and battery .
I have listed the thread by Woody about batteries and statistics.
You can read and analyze your battery usage yourself ,to find out the culprit.
Also ,there is a duplicate thread in General Q/A section.

I will mark this thread as completed and close it

Battery Life Terrible Suddenly

Hey guys, quick question. All the sudden I'd say over the last month or so my battery life has been horrible. I used to go a day and a half roughly with normal use until I had 20% or less battery life. All the sudden now with no changes made to the phone (no new apps, ROM, etc.) the battery life is terrible. I am lucky to get 16 hours with the same usage before the battery is 20% or less. The only change was that I bought a quick charge 2.0 charger (this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QTJZ3D0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00 ). I'd say I used this charger for about 3-4 weeks until the battery life was noticeably bad. Is it possible that this charger has actually damaged my battery and if so I am assuming it is irreversible since it is a non-removable battery? Thanks.

I have also noticed this.. but since I hadn't left it on stock ROM but for a day or so.. I cannot say that it is the new firmware or the ROM I'm using.. I have also seen a LOT of posting about this issue.. LP 5.x.x has a few bugs that are pretty bad headaches to deal with.... hopefully fixes come out for these issues... mainly (in my case anyway) battery life and data connection speeds

Thanks for the reply. I am using CleanROM 3.0 KitKat, been using it for a long time now and all the sudden it's bad now. Like I said, no changes made, I'm stumped

Extreme battery drain

Hi everyone,
I've been using Moto Z4 Verizon version with Visible about 1.5 years now, generally speaking without any issues with the stock ROM and no rooting or any other software changes etc.
For the past couple of weeks, I've notice the battery running out faster than the average times I've used before. For example almost %30 of the battery would drain overnight whereas it would only be %3-4 before.
When I check the system battery statistics there is no one specific installed app draining the battery, so I am not sure if the OS background is using the battery more than necessary.
Has anyone have experienced something similar? what would be good trouble shooting steps?
Thank you in advance!

Try putting it into safe mode overnight, if battery drain is reduced it's an app you installed.
