[Q] Moto G Battery Bug - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
PFA.
I faced the following moto g battery issue the last night, I noticed that battery went down from 40 to 1% all on a sudden. I dont know why that happen. I attached screenshot also.
Did anyone facing the same issue? If so could you pls help me in fixing this. Thanks in advance

Is this the first time that something like this has happened? Because it has happened to me in the past with my moto g as well as my note 2 (once or twice) I don't know the exact reason behind it. But it must be because of some app or process that has been running in the background and eating up the battery I would like to advise you to ignore this and keep restarting your phone in every day or two if this problem persist then remove any third party app. And if you are rooted then you must check your battery usage using wakelock detector. Kindly tell me about the future updates.

My battery fix/bodge

I have an o3d that has a battery percentage problem it displays what it wants when it wants. Such as 70% one minute an 5 mins later its gone to 0% and shut down making it useless unless on charge. It is not a bad battery as i have 7 various batterys that work fine in my other o3d. I have tried the battery calibration apps which delete battery stats .bin and big surprise it did nothing. So i used link to sd to freeze power off
.apk and now my phone stays turned on even when at 0%! This does cause a couple of problems though such as going through usual shutdown precedure only reboots phone (i dont mind though this is handy to reboot). If you reboot whilst percentage is low it wont restart without inserting charger. Phone can still be turned off by holding power button for approx 10 seconds. The worst problem is when 0% is reached the status bar usually force closes (which is a real pain using android without status bar). And camera and a few apps wont work as battery is always low but at least i can use phone. I have learnt so much from xda so i thaught i would share this in case it can help someone. Please share if this was helpfull and if you have any tips on how to fix errors caused by this.

And also if anyone knows what may be causing my problem in the first place any help would be greatly appreciated. I have already tried a re flash of standard rom and a couple of different custom gb roms. And a custom kernal. I am currently trying to work out how to flash ics to try and fix this properly. I do not know how this problem first occured as i brought this phone off ebay second hand. The problem first occured when this phone was unlocked so i was told. I did notice that even though it was sold as o3d and the sticker on the back confirmed this, that it said p925 in about phone not p920. Not sure if this is related. So again if you have an un-usable phone i hope the above can help you out. And thanks again to anybody that could help fix this once and for all.

ModemStatsService draining battery

It's been talked about on this forum a few times, but I still don't know the answer.
I have Tesco UK edition and when I check my battery stats, it shows, that 35 % of the batery is used by "screen" (of course) and another 40 % is by ModemStatsService .. the rest is just low % .. but I wonder what this ModemStatsService is, what it does and why it uses my battery more than the screen itself. I can force stop the process, but after few hours it restarts itself again. I wouldnt care about that if it werent using my battery even more than the screen.
Anyone please?
Have you tried to reset the device? I also have 8GB MotoG from Tesco UK. Havent had any battery drain issues with both 4.3 and 4.4 Tesco ROMs. The first is always Screen.
And what do u mean by reset? Factory reset? I dont want to set everything again you dont have any modemstatsservice process in battery stats? Could it be a process of some app? I have just regular google apps and runkeeper, nova launcher, fruit ninja, czech news app, flashlight, facebook and file explorer
No one seems to really know what this service does. Can anyone enlighten us as to what it does and how to stop it? It's keeping my phone awake 100%of the time now. Did it come with the 4.4.2 patch? This thread was created before that patch existed.
I've rebooted my phone and the process hasn't restarted. I sure would like to know it's purpose.

Pure guesswork - but I reckon it's there to keep track of Data usage for the Data usage screen in Settings. It's a Motorola system app. I've never seen it appear in Battery Stats.

Help with some phone troubles

Hey guys,
On occasion my phone will just shut off at like 30-45% or lower when doing regular tasks (messaging, email etc). Then when I start it up its at 0-4% or won't start at all.
When I plug it in and start it back up it will be at like 40% or around where it was when it died.
I don't know what's causing this and need some help. Is it a third party app? Any known ones that might cause this? Or what could it be?
It only started when i upgraded to lollipop i am running cataclysm lollipop with elemental kernel. It also did this on stock lollipop.
Any help is appreciated.
Your battery's life is gone. Have to replace the battery. Happened same to me.

Is your device rooted?
If yes, install GSam https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm
And post here some screenshots as specified in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/battery-life-help-troubleshoot-battery-t2785128
If your device is not rooted, post screenshots of your Battery screen along with battery graph screen (Settings=>Battery)
Additionally, you can use Privacy Settings and disable few permissions of the app which are not allowing your device to go into deep sleep state
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-google-play-services-battery-t2832525
If you don't wish to troubleshoot the issue, you can simply apply factory reset option and load all the apps from scratch

HORRIBLE battery life after November 16 update.

Hey all
I have a Sprint Galaxy S 6 that I just updated with an update that claimed to be to improve "battery drain".
It is losing 13% in a half hour without using the phone.
I have no apps running.
I go to settings and it seems that Google Play services is always the one that uses most of the battery.
I never got great battery life but this update seemed to make it worse.
Am I missing something big???
Any advise would be appreciated.

Probably your phone won't go into deepsleep. This is caused by wakelocks and alarms. You can fix this by rooting your phone and install powernap or factory resetting your phone & start all over again.

I would rather not root my phone... I did it with my last three phones and was more trouble than it was worth for me. The phone has all of the features that I like and I don't have a need to flash ROMS.
Any other suggestions?

In that case factory reset your phone, this will delete all of your apps and data so also the wakelocks and alarms. From then your phone will go into deepsleep and you won't lose so much juice when you don't use the phone
Hi, I'm also having battery life issues. I've factory formatted from recovery menu, but I still get battery issues. I charge my phone about 3 times a day and I don't have any significant drain according to the battery usage settings.

The same here. I have everything okay according to battery stats. But I lose like 5-8% an hour when screen doesn't work. Don't know what to do.
I basically surf the net and use WhatsApp. By early afternoon, I'm down to 60% battery. I unplug my charger at 6am everyday.
