Hey guys. I have a poll for you!
What's your standby battery life when you have the touch/type cover connected?
Mine has decreased dramatically...to about only 2-4 hours. Its great when the cover isn't connected though...am I not alone here?

I left my type cover connected all night last night and my battery was only down 5% this morning. I unplugged it right before I went to bed and surfed the web for maybe 10 minutes before closing it. Was at 95% this morning.
That being said, I've never left the cover off to test.

Hey guys I'm wondering what voltage reading are you guys getting @ 100%? I'm getting under 4200 which is strange to me because on my HD2 I was getting around 4219. Should I go return it to the TMobile store I got it from because the battery seems to be dying pretty quickly
Thanks.
I have had something similar. I plug in the phone at around 10 pm, woke up at 5:30 am and the phone was not fully charged. Seems a bit odd, but this happened 2 nights in a row. I switched cargers and will see what happens tonight. I plugged into my car charger and it went to full shortly after. Now 2 1/2 hours later, Im 1/4 down on battery life. No GPS on, NO wifi.
That 4200 reading corresponds to your battery 'charge' and not 'voltage'.

What should the charge be at normally because my HD2 had a higher charge than this
Hello,
I bought this phone a month ago. At first the battery lasted quite well, I got around 5 hours of screen time with battery life to spare. Unfortunately, about 2 weeks ago I accidentally left the phone under my pillow and fell asleep on it- causing it to overheat a tad bit (I woke up 3 hours later and it was very warm to the touch and had turned off). After charging it up, I continued to use it normally but noticed that the battery would drain a little bit quicker than normal. Before I could easily go around 10 hours with heavy use and have 40% battery left, now after 10 hours it's left with about 15-20%. I am a heavy user but I haven't properly checked how much screen time I'm getting now, however I'll update that later.
As for the main problem- last night I charged my phone before sleeping (100%) and when I woke up in the morning it was turned off. I turned it on only to see that my battery had drained to 0% while on standby all night- whereas overnight I usually only lose around 2-3% battery.
After charging my phone up for 15 minutes- the battery level again returned to 100%. I only charge my phone through my laptop via USB. What happened here? Is my battery deteriorating? Should I get the phone replaced? I would appreciate any input on the matter. Thanks.
Also I've attached the screenshots showing how my battery died and how it was quickly restored. Can someone explain this occurrence?

Your sudden battery drop has nothing to do with what happened before.
Several people already mentioned this sudden battery drop as you can read in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545553 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678909
No reason to return your device, its a know issue.
Drain your battery completly then charge your phone to 100%, turn the phone one and leave it to charge a hour more. Essentialy you have to recalibrate your battery.
So a brief update regarding SOT.
I left home with 90% charge this morning. Used the phone for 8 hours and it went down to 20% - granted, with heavy use.
Got 4.5 hours of SOT. Is this about average? imo I feel like this falls a bit below average. Ill check other threads as well and compare, but as far as I know, I feel like I should be getting a *little* more juice out of my phone. Data connection was on throughout, and some games were played and pictures taken.
Anyone else feel like they're getting sub-par use out of their battery?
*screenshots provided.
- checked the other threads, looks like ~5 hrs SOT is the most this phone puts out?
Same here.
Are there any news from Motorola?

Hey folks
Lately my OPO started to have some hiccups with battery. So the problem is that once my battery percentage goes below 40% my OPO turns off. When I try to turn on the phone it never boots up. Any idea why its happening and solution will be greatly appreciated.
Note: I tried to have full charge cycle (going from 100% to zero)but it never worked. I tried charging phone while its tuned off and turn it on once its fully charged but it didn't work either.
Thanks
Sorry to tell you but your battery is likely physically malfunctioning and no amount of battery draining will fix it. Odds are, your battery has started bulging a little already.
Do you typically leave your OPO plugged into the wall charger for extended periods of time, even after it has reached 100%?
I damaged both my previous Note 1 and even a laptop batteries this way. Both would just shut off after dropping to a number like 50% or 55%. Both batteries had a bulge.

When did this first happen? What were you doing? Skype call? Hangouts video chat? Playing an intensive game?
Point being, was it super hot when it first shut down?

Yesterday I updated my phone with teamsak cm 12 and it got back to normal weird ?

So now it appears to be fine? It can go below 40%? I'm confused. Or are you saying that it happens intermittently?
Before I was in original CM 11S but after change my ROM it got back to normal and it goes below 40% by the way I know that its sounds so weird
Ok so i noticed this the other night...
If I just leave my phone unplugged and go to bed, i can get up to 8% battery drop overnight.
The other night, i put my phone on charge before bed and went to sleep. I woke up in the night, while awake i noticed the green light that my phone is charged. So I unplugged it (didn't touch anything else)
When I then woke up like 6 hours later, my phone had only dropped 1%
So why does it drain soo much more if not on charge first? And does anyone else have the same thing?
Do you have Stamina mode enabled? If you have it enabled it will freeze and terminate internet connections for non white listed apps. When charging, Stamina mode is disabled. It might be some app is not playing well with Stamina mode if it is enabled. Check it.

I did leave my phone unplugged overnight with few than 3% drop
I never have stamina mode on.
But i actually did the same last night as my little one woke up with a nose bleed in the middle of the night, and now 8 hours on it'd only dropped 1%. Tonight I'm gonna not charge it and just leave it and see what drop it gets.

I get something similar but much more drain, about 20% cell standby was the culprit, I am guessing the mobile signal strength not being the best is causing the phone to hunt for signal. When out and about drain nowhere near as bad.
Hi,
I received my gear S2 classic yesterday but I don't seem to be getting the battery life of 2 days. I took it off charge this morning at 11:30 am and it's now 12 noon and it's down to 89%. Is this normal? I've turned off the auto heart rate monitor and NFC and Wifi. It's constantly connected to my note 4 and the brightness is set to 5.
I've had a fair few notifications and haven't really used apps on it today so far but seems to be draining quicker than what I was expecting, just wondering if this is normal or not? I understand it's a small battery but when it's supposed to get 2 days and it doesn't seem like I'd get one day out of it if I was to take it off charge early in the morning like at 8 AM for example.
In 30 min it drained 11%? Seems like a lot. Restart it perhaps? I have wifi off, s voie off, and screen brightness set to 5 as well and it lasts 2+ days. I'd give a couple more days, if it doesn't improve then I would exchange it.

Think it's okay (ish) been off charge now for about 11 and a half hours and it's at 46% though this still is only barely a day of battery life not 2. Should be able to live with it though I normally put my phone on charge at night when I go bed anyway regardless of the charge I have left and I do the same with the S2. Speaking of phone is there anything I can do with it's battery life? Having bluetooth on 24/7 really takes a hit on my battery life on my note 4. Is there anyway I could put it into some kinda low powered bluetooth mode so maybe it's not quite as fast but still some kind of connection?

I had pretty bad battery life with watch connected too. It turned out it was a misbehaving app with bluetooth, GasBuddy in mycase. Uninstalled it and battery life went back to normal. I suspect something similar may be happening in your case.

+1 for the misbehaving app as the likely cause. For comparison: My Classic goes on at 9am and off around 9pm with about 60% left, consistently. Connected with bt...Wifi off and max brightness all day.

That drain seems a little fast to me but not too bad compared to the experience of others posted here.
Usually you'll notice the drain soon after installing troublesome apps, so the offender is likely one of the last few you installed. To fix this I just uninstall the last few apps I downloaded and test from there. If the battery issue is still not resolved after a while of usage, then I uninstall the ones before it. I don't know of any other way to test on the Gear S2 like we do on android phones (e.g. with bbs, wakelock detector, etc.).
The battery life I mentioned for my Classic is with gesture mide turned on, and always-on mode turned off.
