Well first if it is out of the box JB don't upgrade to kitkat for now because it has many bugs and consumes more battery.
JIC its on KK then the only battery saving technique is to charge it from <5% to 100%, first charge should be 8hrs switched off.
Remember to switch on battery saver when required.
You can try snapdragon batteryguru app although i believe it doesnt make much difference
Else rules that apply with every phone are applicable like using 2G instead of 3G when not required etc.

Yes but the kitkat build for Moto G has some issues which consumes more battery. Moto is working on a fix for a all of the bugs that this build contains. It will come in the next few weeks.
Using safe mode,Customize screen with lowest bright,and turn off the apps that you don't need.I usually do this.

You need to install a better app. The Android built in power usage thing is about as much use as a chocolate teapot, and better battery stats isn't much better.
Try system panel from Play, you will need the paid version from here. Put it in monitoring mode and leave it for a few hours.
You will be able to see what is chewing CPU then, and that is invariably the thing that is causing the drain. It very rarely fails to assist me with diagnosis of an obscure drain issue.
Ok..just bought system panel app.will update about this crazy battery drain later..
Thanks thalamus..

Cool, it's well worth the couple of dollars.
I've used it pretty much constantly in monitoring mode since they were in beta when I had my desire. So, probably not far off a couple of years usage with me.
It doesn't eat battery either, because it polls when the device wakes up for another reason.
And the thing which really makes it good for me, it records usage of the system tasks, such as kernel threads, which can be massively handy in diagnosing an issue.
Solved by flashing latest adamG ROM..

Is there a way to limit contacts used by Whatsapp to a specific group only ?
When the app is using the entire address book (very large) it seems the battery is draining very fast and the phone gets
extremely hot.
i don't have this problem and i have 785 contacts in my phone book What phone do you use ? What Rom ?
IM+ as an alternative.

Captivate with SLIM ICS version 4.1 and Semaphore Kernel. Over 2000 contacts.
Maybe I'll try a different kernel and upgrade to SLIM ICS 4.2 ?
The whatsapp had successfully drained my battery on all he platforms where I used it....
The application is really not good written...

The problem here is not the app, its not the rom or the device. The problem here is simply that using data drains the battery, speciall when on 3G. Battery drain is just one of those things we have to deal with when we have smart phones. They do more than ordinary dumb phones. Using the 3G radio will greatly decrease the charge because its constantly negotiating for signal and shunting data back and forth. If you want to decrease the drain, chat less, switch to 2G only, send less pics/vids/birthday cards from random website that looks cute.

Thanks for the Whatsapp Plus suggestion! Greatly improved my battery life with a simple dark theme change! Stock Whatsapp colours are waay too bright!
It's a bit strange, my battery drained a lot for the last few days after upgrading Whatsapp to the new version 2.9.4207. my battery drains faster than before, if i could have 1 day with 3G on, it is now only up to 3 hours maximum..
i hope it is not app that causes the problem since i relied on it too much to communicate with frenz..
i'm using An Xperia P btw

I also have been experiencing increased battery drain in the past few days. The only recent change I have made is installing Whatsapp.
The problem here is not that the app is not well written, but the fact that the app uses data. Any application that uses data constantly will drain your battery, a hot phone usually indicates 3G use, 3G radios tend to get hot when they are used for extended periods. The same thing happens to a USB 3G Modem. The only way to prevent your battery going flat so quick, would be to stop using the device. There is an application somewhere that actually disables your radio (wifi or 3G) for a period, puts the device into deep sleep and then wakes it up to check for notifications. This might help a bit with your problem.
Hello i think my battery life it's not so good as the other's people. In standby (screen off) i see consumption around 1% per hour with 2g network and closed data.
Also, i have the greenify and i sleeping all applications except go sms pro, SwiftKey, and alarm clock.

After update to 4.4.2 kitkat i have did factory reset in settings.
They use custom kernel to save battery life

I'm no expert in battery life of the moto g, i'm still trying to get used to the phone but for me having spent 1% per hour in a day with no use and those settings is pretty good, i mean if i go to sleep with 70%+ battery left, i don't even bother to charge the phone.
Sent from my Moto G using xda app-developers app
yes, <1,5% is good in idle but it can be better because for me, its 0,3-0,5%/h, sometimes only 0,1%/h (it means 0,6-3% max. for my 6 hour night)
Geenify
Maybe the apps which you didnt greenify cause this battery drain ( not sure if this is a high drain as im using tweaky one Rom with faux kernel.. Maybe try to greenify those apps which you dont habe greenified now one after the other and tell us if it made a difference.. Also look in your settings if you disabled all things you dont need like print GPS etc.. Hopefully this helps

Would you recommend to greenify motorola services? I did once and couldn't check for updates and get it back working was a pain in the arse. I am currently having around 1% drain with wifi on 24/7 but once I had around 0.4 to 0.6%/h. Can't find wakelocks aswell, currently on stock kernel and rom.
I dont think that Motorola services darin mich battery..
I want the moderator to ban me.
downgrade your OS to make it work again.

You could try turning off GPS and WiFi when not in use. That usually helps. Try an app called BetterBatteryStats. People in the thread for that app are usually pretty helpful in identifying battery drain issues. There is a little bit of a learning curve to using it though
Edit: Here is the main forum for that app

Hey,making this thread so we can share reviews,bugs and opininions about those 2 roms(the only ones running Nougat so far)
It would be nice to have a guide about it i guess..
In my case AICP is smoother.
Sent from my Mi 4c using Tapatalk
Any known bugs?I mean we have a thread about rr and we know bugs performance etc.But what about aicp.What do you mean smoother
What about lineage os? We have lineage os from website and hikari no tenshi builds also
I installed aicp yesterday(clean install). So far everything perfecr.Got rid of the delayed notifications I had problem with the last rr build.Also I dont have problems with the unlock screen bug.Other than that its same like rr. Very smooth and all working great. Battery seems very good until now....
After 1 hour and 40 minutes screen on,just wifi,2g signal and using viber frequently
@op I think this is not suited for xda (comparing other devs works is against the forum rule afaik) and also not suited on android development sub forum, @mods @zelendel / @jackeagle kindly look into this. thanks in advance, no offence.

Same here. Tried RR and my phone shuts down when I have about 30% battery left. When I plug it in for a minute, it says I have 25%+ battery left. But when I unplug the charger the phone shuts down again even if I have more than 20% of battery left. Weird.

To be fair, I have not tested AICP yet. But the said behavior doesn't happen on MIUI (even in MIUI Nougat) and on TS CM 13.1. I'm gonna give it a chance and try RR again later. I'm starting to hate MIUI's aggressive task management. Just browsing with 6 tabs in Chrome with no other open apps and MIUI force closes the app WTF.

Does it always happen with Nougat ROM only? Once I've read a quite interesting "theory", might be connected to this https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/5kr71d/why_phones_are_shutting_down_with_40_battery_left/

This issue never happen when i use TS CM 13.
Tried the latest RR build, phone shuts down at 15% battery. Was able to reboot to recovery and TWRP reports that I have 15% battery left. Tried to reboot the device and I was still able to get to the boot animation screen but the phone automatically shuts down again and this time, I was no longer able to power it on. It's like the battery was drained to the last drop.
Now here comes the weird part, I've plugged it in and the phone booted automatically. Right off the bat, the big battery bar showed up with 0% left and after a few ticks (about 3 seconds), the battery skyrocketed to 47%!! Wtf? I turned it on and when android booted, the battery was just 17%. Something's wrong and I don't know if it's the rom or the battery itself. I'm gonna try AICP and see if I get different results
EDIT: Rebooted again at 17% and now I have 47% of battery left again. Lol this is confusing.
