Am I the only one who's got battery issues ? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone it started draing quite a lot of battery, moving from 100% to 85% in less than an hour. Is that normal ?

Is that with the screen on? 15% per hour is normal playing games or watching movies.
Nuthin' but a 'Moto G' thang

Screen was not always on i used it normally didn't play games or anything. Maybe it's because I only xharged it twice does it need calibration or something ?

Unlocking and rooting wont have a direct impact on battery usage.

Have you checked for wakelocks. You could use CPU Spy to make sure your phone is entering deep sleep. 15% battery drain in one hour in standby is not normal.

Having the same issue. Phone's not entering into deep sleep for some reason. It's brand new with nothing installed on it except for cpu spy. so I dunno what's keeping it.

factory reset - always worth a try. Or wake lock detector to see what's keeping it awake. I had issues with battery when I switched from one WiFi network to another and no wake locks showing. Factory reset magically fixed it.

I know your device is brand new but I'm sure some junk sometimes gets in cache or something like that. Think I'd be inclined to always factory reset a brand new phone now.

I think to be fair, the phone was updating it's OS. It's not everyday normal usage.

I have an issue with my battery too... Media Server is always on for some reason and is keeping the phone awake all the time :/

P6210 - Huge Battery Drain on ICS

Anyone experiencing battery drain on ICS? I upgraded, rooted, and removed some of the bloatware to help. Thought it was fixed but my tab is dead again. Says the Android OS is taking up my juice. Was never a problem before. Could leave it on standby for days with HC. Now its dead in a day or less.

I initially saw similar behavior, but once I killed the cached processes once, and since have shut down to charge and started new, I haven't seen that behavior.
Do you have WiFi on? Could it be you have apps that are checking to be updated? I know in the past on my phone my Amazon Appstore has a habit of starting itself up and continually checking for updates for itself and for any apps I got from Amazon.
Tried it both ways...wifi on and off.
Try using CPU spy (free in market) or betterbatterystats (free- search for it here on XDA) to see what is eating up your battery exactly.

I noticed that I had a conflict between "Power Savings" settings and the "Display" settings. Putting them both at 1 minute resulted in an always on screen I had to disable the Power Savings to correct the problem.
I did have something odd happen yesterday that seems to have kept my screen on for 4 hours. When I got home and opened my case the tab was very warm, and shut off. And all but entirely out of power, before that it has used about 10 % in 17 hours of standby with about an hour of use, or so.
I think it is possible that an app that previously didn't keep the screen on is now for some reason keeping it on, and I didn't notice when I closed the leather cover.
No issues today, but I am going to try and see if I can find some release notes to tell me about the new download for ICS for the P6210, perhaps this is addressed?
Just to update I installed the betterbatterystats. I showed a couple of things that were keeping my tab awake. Once I fixed those I thought that would be it but it was still draining. I then installed juice defender and had it turn wifi off every time I turned the screen off. That did it. Was never like this before the update but at least its good to know I fixed it.
i suggest checking better battery stats for AudioOut_1 Partial Wakelock. its been draining my phone fast when i upgraded to ICS.
check it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629346
now my battery is working great.. i just left my tab for 10 hrs in the locker when i got the tab its still have 97% battery.
for me i just checked and changed my wifi sleep policy from never to when screen turns off and its fine now. :highfive:
I thought about this very issue; I decided to wait.

Did you download the ICS as opensource? Myself, I am deciding to wait for the OFFICIAL verson to be released.
I had the same problem. i even went back to HC to make sure
the issue is not there (it wasn't) and upgraded to ICS
again (full wipe all the time). No luck something keeps
my device unable to go to deep sleep.
Now i'm back at HC again

The version is OFFICIAL .
It's just available only for some countries.
i had the huge battery drain issue while in stock ICS..
the tablet simply refused point blank to go into deep sleep.. in HC it would but not in ICS.. i would take the tablet fully charged to work and not use it much there.. by the time i was travelling back it would be 60% drained in not using it througout the day...
recently flashed to aorths CM9 build and all my battery woes are gone.. now when i get back from work the battery is at 96%!!
battery drain during usage is the same but the CM9 build has awesome battery conservation stuffs for when you dont use it..
would suggest everyone who has these battery issues to move to CM9.. really helped for me.

Early results show Juice Defender is helping a lot with mine too. Thanks for the tip!
Next morning: Just the free version of Juice Defender using the default profile took me from 35% overnight drain yesterday down to 3% overnight drain today. That's not bad. It should be even better tomorrow because I've turned off all location services after seeing that BetterBatteryStats says Google location is the worst single offender at keeping wifi going overnight.

Could you tell me how you "killed cached processes" please?
I am having similar battery drain. I am in the process of completely charging battery after it drained 40% in sleep mode last night, wifi off in sleep mods, notifications off, sync off.
I have already done a reset to factory, tried draining battery, and recharged in off position.
Nothing is helping so far. I have installed better battery stats, and CPU spy this morning, and will have data tomorrow morning.
thanks for any help

I had the same exact problem ever since the stock ICS update. My Tab Plus is all stock, no mods at all. The battery would completely drain after one day, and I have very little on the Tab Plus. Nothing helped at all, so I finally bit and did a factory wipe. The battery drain stopped immediately, so I started changing the settings back to the way I like it.
Then, next day the battery went completely dead again! I back tracked and figured out exactly what it is which makes absolutely NO SENSE - turning off wifi in sleep was what was draining the battery! See my screen captures. Notice on the first screen shot, as soon as the wifi stays on the battery drop bar stayed almost flat.
I observed a similar behavior on my 100% stock AT&T GS3 phone also, turning wifi off during sleep causes more battery drain.
I'm getting "suspend backoff" under kernel wakelocks which is preventing my tab going to deep sleep when unused. Everytime I wakeup in the morning my tab is dead. The only solution I found was to turn off wifi if I'm not using it. Anyway fixing this?

battery draining fast

I noticed battery draining fast since I installed gravity box. Without even touching the phone in the morning it will go down to 99%
I attached the screenshot of wakelock detector from this morning. an hour commute with just listening to music dropped 15%
You need to be a bit clearer with your reports about 'drain'
Are you reporting 1% battery drop as a 'drain' definitely due to gravitybox?
Are you using a custom rom with a feature conflicting with gravitybox?
Can you uninstall gravitybox and immediately confirm the drain goes away?
Your 15% drop, were you streaming via 3G on your hour commute? If so that sounds reasonable as it works harder to keep the signal
Try betterbatterystats as well to look at other wakelocks

I have the same problem. I Ajay lost 3%in one minute after using this for 4 minutes. Something not right with that gravity box. I'll be lucky to get 2.5 hours of screen time compared to my 3.5 I used to get.

Gravity box won't drain your battery.
Not having a signal on the train will tho....big time. Unless you switched to airplane mode? Anytime the phone has to look for a signal, the battery takes a real beating.

rooting does not necessarily mean you will have better or wore battery. Try changing the kernel, stock kernel gives you 3-3.5 hrs SOT normal usage.(unless you use it to read books)
I had 0% drain overnight when i first bough the phone, but after a while 1-3% drain overnight is normal.

Different kernels behave differently for everyone's device and usage. You need to experiment yourself.
But before you do, work out what is using your battery first, electricity doesn't just disappear, tends to obey the laws of physics...
Then determine if it's definitely gravity box, or if you're experiencing phone 'usage' as opposed to battery 'drain'
Leave wakelock detector and betterbatterystats for collecting data for much longer. Put your phone down for a while...

Are you performing soft restarts? If so, that's probably the reason. For some reason, Android doesn't take well to soft restarts, so when you soft reset it never initializes properly and you end up with strange things like excessive battery drainage.

Interesting...I've been having erratic drain patterns lately with no visible culprits. I've noticed it happens sometimes after updating gravity box and I always do a soft reboot, so that might explain it. Do you have any more information about it?

I think the culprit is google music it drains the battery like crazy. I tried not listening to music on my commute and got to work with 98% battery. With google music I will get to work with 90%

To be honest this looks like phone usage, rather than particularly bad battery 'drain'. Are you expecting that your battery should be 98% if you listen to music while on the move for an hour? Or what would a reasonable expected level be?
Your first post said that an hour commute dropped 15%, now it's dropping 10%? Sounds like an improvement to me.

[Q] battery dropping significantly?

I've been using the latest ota 44s rooted, but with no modifications. its probably the most stable yet. no issues apart from this. despite the battery being actually quite good, i get 6+ sot within 40+ hours. but i'm getting an issue where according to the battery monitor, it drops a few percentages in one go without me actually using the device. its still on deep sleep. no wakelocks or anything like that.
Could it be that the battery stats is not being monitored properly by the phone? where the phone is going down steadily and then it realises the battery is at a slower percentage than its already displaying?
or is it something else?
This has happened to me several times previously. though no reboots, and battery life is still good.
as you can see here it drops from 86% to 77% whilst the -mAh is at -9mAH
Use a app such as better battery stats and debug your apps. There's most likely a app causing the phone not to properly deep sleep

Re: Phone deep sleep battery drain
I have also come across the sudden battery drain issue this past week. My phone deep sleeps well and I can find no wakelocks. It appears to use excessive battery when idle. I have tried a fresh, blank install of CM11S 44S and that didn't resolve the issue. I have since moved to Cm11 nightlies and that slowed the battery drain but I am losing 12% battery per hr when idle and the phone is staying warm. I do not understand how this happened and why it just spontaneously began. A fresh install with no additional apps, and no problems entering deep sleep. shouldn't be doing this This phone was brilliant for battery life and I cannot work out how to resolve this.

I have checked that and it appears to be sitting at the minimum 300MHz as far as I can tell. Since posting I have tried PA 4.6 for 24 hrs, no additional apps, and now I have moved to Liquid Smooth Lollipop nightly just to see how they compare. Even changing radios doesn't appear to have any impact on the power consumption.
When using GSam battery monitor on both the CM11 and PA (both behaved similarly) my phone was using anywhere from 500mA to 800mA (minimum screen brightness) for no apparent reason. I am unsure what usage this phone should be to be honest but I think that is high.
On Lillipop, the category 'Miscellaneous' is by far the greatest usage category and is seeing 2-3 times expected mAh drain compared to its computed usage, though I am unsure how that is worked out.
The most my phone will last now is 8hrs standby, in deep sleep. I am beginning to wonder if there is something wrong with the hardware of this device now. Perhaps the power regulator... Not sure what test to do next TBH

The next thing I'd do would be a complete wipe and flashing the fastboot images. This still return the device to a completely stock state (including wiping the user data), leave it like that (don't install any apps) and test for a day or two.

Fresh install, data off and left to own devices for a few hours and it is deep sleeping like you would expect, but a neat linear drop in the battery of 10-12% per hour as before...
I saw the same type of behavior while running CM11 based ROM. At night, I would put device into sleep (no data/no wi-fi/no sync/etc.) - basically everything off. In the morning, it would still show 100% - but then quickly drain several percentage each minute for the first 10 or so minutes. It was like it was catching up to the correct %. I have used wakelock and BBS and nothing sticks out. I also set Google Play services to stop wake (which did help battery life a lot).

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Huawei Nexus 6P's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Just wanted to show that some users aren't experiencing the same battery life "Doze" is supposed to provide.
Have you turned off Wifi always scanning?
From full charge at 9pm i loose 3% when alarm goes off at 5:30 am
I've lost anywhere between 1%-5% overnight with doze. Not really sure why the difference either. When I look at the battery chart, it's showing very minimal "awakes" each night. Either way, this is much better than prior version of Android where I'd easily lose 7%-10% overnight.
One of my only gripes with doze is that it kills some helpful apps that haven't been updated yet. Timely, I'm talking about you... No more smart rise until there's an update.
I don't know exact numbers (haven't been checking that hardcore) but the battery graph looks damn near flat while my phone and I are "dozing."
Deep Sleep Battery Saver is a really great app to help reduce battery drain. I was struggling with my phone always being awake, even with aggressive doze mode and DSDS helped a lot.
It does require root because you need to make it a system app, though.

My guess is that the exchange services are treated as priority (just as with SMS and phone calls) and keep the phone from going into doze mode/continually waking it up.
I'd suggest using a third-party app for Exchange (such as Outlook or Cloudmagic, which is excellent) and remove the other exchange account. Doze will put those apps into hibernation unless you whitelist them in battery optimization. Give that a shot and see if the issue persists. I'm using Outlook and haven't had any frequent wake-up issues. My phone dozes like a baby.

Getting below average battery life on brand new phone

As mentioned on the title, do you guys know what I should do? I'm on the latest stable update. I just got the phone couple of days ago.
I was thinking to do a factory reset and download each app manually instead of going through backup stuff? Idk if this will help.

I would turn on adaptive battery to begin with and get BBS to find out which app is draining the battery before you go through a factory reset. How is your standby time overnight? It should be around 0.5 - 0.8% / hour.

Please update us as I'm having the same issue where the drain from a factory reset with fresh start is still 3%/hr, with ambient display off.

That should not be. Get better battery stats and figure out what is waking your device with screen off. Disable it or get the eff rid of it. It's probably one app so find it. I had some stupid app draining 1% per hour idle. Bye bye. You'll get it and then squash it.

I'll try that but if I remember correctly, I did at some point download it and nothing was shown to be draining the battery or waking the device except for high usage by Google services as it always seems and couldn't narrow it down at that time.
I'll give it another shot and see.

I look at alarms and partial wakelocks mostly. You'll find something errant other than the system services which everyone has. Shoot for 0.7% / hour max. I mean sometimes something goes awry and I have to reboot to clear it out. Do a reboot before unplugging at full charge then go 7 hours or so and see what you get unplugged. Screen on time is nonsense so don't pay attention to that. The battery isn't stellar but it is sufficient.
With pixel phones I've learn to live without root, customROMS, short battery life and lag here and there.
To love Android I have to accept or sacrifice those little things.
I'm enjoying the camera, regular updates and the size of my pixel 3.
If you are looking for best battery life, pixel is not an option.
