What really works for me: processor underclocking + low screen brightness.

Nothin big.
1.Just put it into airplane mode when u have weak network (it sucks out a lot of juice trying to find a stronger connection) or when asleep (so that no one disturbs! )
2. Turn off wifi, gps, bluetooth when not in use!
life!

certainly low screen brightness and put in airplaine mode when I sleep

{Help} Battery troubles still

I have a new phone 2 weeks old and from day 1 I've had horrible battery even with minimal use. usually I can get through a work day and that's it. I work in construction so I have no wifi. I turn off Wifi,NFC,Data,GPS,Bluetooth, and set screen brightness to lowest setting unless i'm using them. But keep in mind I'm rarely using my phone except for breaks which i put it on the charger. Here are some pictures that may help decipher the problem. At first glance I have a "wake lock". I'm stuck at 384MHz. I've had a wakelock on all my roms for some reason. Sometimes its the media app sometimes its android system...Currently I'm on Barebones CM10 but I've had most of this forums roms\kernels on my phone after a full wipe and even after some odin stock. I'm kinda lost as my sister who got the phone a day after me has great battery life and my friends say they can get up to 2 days if they aren't using it. i don't believe the 2 days comment, but still his battery life isn't as bad. I'm not crazy right? Also, I'm not sure why all the time running aren't the same

Nougat/Oreo quick settings: Another must have app for this phone!

If you're anything like me you have a nasty habit of reading on your phone before bed in the dark. Even at its lowest setting this phone is still very bright stock. I went through several screen dimming apps and all of them required me to open an app and put a persistent notification on my status bar/notification bar.
I stumbled upon nougat/Oreo quick settings (free in the play store) and it offers a full suite of goodies, some require root but most don't. One of the best is the night mode. It's a simple toggle like WiFi, Bluetooth, ect and dims the screen perfectly for night time reading.
I'm sure this feature will be implemented in custom ROMs but as the phone currently stands this is a must have app for me.

Pretty cool toggle, it would be awesome if it toggled the native Motorola night mode with the color filter, rather than just lowering the overall screen brightness.
Better than nothing, thanks

[Tutorial] How to save battery if you use a single sim.

Have you ever wondered why so much battery was left and in the battery statistics there was something called "On hold" that took up a lot?
Well sometimes it's because you have very little coverage but other times it's because in the motorcycle x play we have activated the two SIMs and only occupy one and the other is waiting to be activated and that takes battery. Then we are going to deactivate that other sim that we do not use, generally slot 2.
1) Mainly you need to be ROOT. You are looking for a file explorer that allows you to modify files of the system, in my case I will use MiXplorer ..

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) You go to root or / and from there to system
3) You look for the file called build.prop
4) You search for the line persist.radio.multisim.config = dsds and change dsds by none
5) Save it and restart. According to the rom you will notice that the battery improves a lot and in others that have better optimization you will not notice much difference.
Time to have a better battery
@NicoMG thanks buddy. Done. Its working. Let's see the battery life now ?
in LOS 14.1 we didnt have this line

Cool stuff bro
Try a network reset if you haven't already, a painless reset.
Clear System Cache found on the boot menu, never hurts and can fix many strange erratic behaviors.
Do not do a reload; find the root cause and correct. Otherwise it will probably just reoccur even if the hard reset initially seems to work.
