Follow these steps..
1. Don't use 3G, Go for 2G data connection.
2. Remove unwanted Apps (Few apps are really working as battery Eater, For me it was the concern for battery drain)
3. Still Not resolved, Do battery calibration (Refer Moto G Forum for this)
4. Still have problem.. Dude you have a defective piece of battery.. Return it to Flipkart, if crossed 30 days limit then Moto Customer care is the only option..

The average battery drop down rate in nearly 6% per hour...
I saw the stats of last night battery usage it was just "awake" that drained out the whole battery.
Any solution to it Rj?

Are you running Stock firmware?

Yep!! Not Rooted

Try turning off: Settings > Location, or put the phone into Airplane Mode. Power Toggles is a quick way to enable / disable Wifi, Bluetooth and GPS as needed.
While it is often discouraged, I kill all recent apps at night. You will also see a real benefit if you root and flash a custom kernel such as Faux - stock kernel is just not as battery efficient.
Deep Sleep Battery Saver has some nice features that will benefit you.

Saw on moto forums, it is a known issue but only happen once. Haven't happened to me yet.

Hi,
Things that improve battery life:
- Drain the battery COMPLETELY until the phones shuts off and recharge the battery with the phone turned off. Do this 3 times. Improves battery life extremely.
- Disable repplog.exe in the notification queue with the comment "system time changed" using memmaid or similar tool (don't do this when you sync with an Exchange server OTA)
- Use advance config and enable all the options under "energy"
These are the 3 things I found in the forum that really work for me

BeeJive IM is a seriously intensive IM product that drains my battery very very quickly. I would suggest using Palringo. www.palringo.com It's not as pretty as BeeJive but your battery life with signifigantly improve.
I would also try using different radio's. Radios can help you improve battery life / signal strenth, etc. Test out all of the Raphael radios and available and see which ones works best for you.

I have tested the theory with draining the battery 3 times to it's complete and utter demise before charging. I found that doing it once worked best for me. Since Lithium Ion batteries do not have memory such as Nickel Metal Hydrate. I have found however that if my battery is acting funny to fully let it die then charge it up completely that it will return to it's normal self.
I have done a lot reseach on Lithium Ion batteries and found it's best to keep your device charged as much as it can and not let me battery get below 30% or 20% at the most before re-charging it. When I do this I get the best battery life as possible and my battery seems to last a lot longer in regards to the longevity of the battery as a whole.

[Q] Heavy battery drain issue - help troubleshoot

Of late, I have been having heavy drain of battery on my Atrix 2. I am running JB 4.1.2 (672.300.404.ME865.Retail.en.05). Trying to troubleshoot it (including recalibration) since the last few days without luck.
The symptoms...
- Sudden shut down - Have had 50%+ charge levels. Goes down to 5% and shuts down within minutes. (You can see the random drops in the charge levels in the pic)
- Completely drained out battery charges from above 40% when plugged in & charges to 100% in no time. (that 67% charge in the attachment is within 5 mimutes of power plug in)
Does the battery need a replacement?

Try changing battery... even i had same problem with Custom rom. Battery used to last only for 10 to 12 hours but now its more than 17 hours on JB 4.1.2 leak,,,,...Use stock rom. and remove any unncessesary apps and installl ROM again if u want :good:
How old is your Atrix 2? If over a year then battery surely begins to give lesser performance. Disable any other task killer / memory manager & just let OS do its thing. See if installing Media Scan disable from play helps & do not keep using random chargers, make use of original charger as received with phone. Finally see Better Battery Stats. It is said battery stats should never be wiped but see if it helps you and finally search for Apex's better battery life guide for many handy tips.
I disabled notifications, sync, froze higher wakelock apps & my battery life improved a bit but then it is no fun existing in a bare bones environment.

The phone is just about a year and half old. The drop in battery performance is just too drastic, sometimes it doesn't even last an hour after the charge. Will try to go back to original ROM and see if it improves else will probably have to go for a new battery pack.

Look like a battery problem to me its not the ROM but anyways turn off location services and wifi they are a big battery drainer
Use 2G when u dont need high speed.......
Try this app called Greenify https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
(it helps to reduce wakelocks and improves your battery life)
:laugh: Let me know if it helped (btw chck your battery and see if its defected they are amny ways to chck it read up the forums )

CM 10.1.3
I couldn't write to developer's forum so I'm asking here.
I've recently firmwared my AT&T A2 CM 10.1.3 and battery drains really fast! The previous build was CM 10.1 (25th of June). I wiped cache and dalvik cache and firmwared CM 10.1.3. At least 3 people report that thie batteries on this ROM drain slow.
What did I do wrong???

Battery life varies so much from user to user that it is impossible to answer your question without A LOT more information.
Go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Download the app and follow the directions in the op. That and reading through that thread itself should tell you everything you need to know about what is using up your battery.
That being said, everyone has different habits and expectations when it comes to their battery. What one person says is good battery life, another will likely say is bad. So just keep in mind that there is not a right or wrong, just what is right or wrong for you.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
Thank you fro your answer. When I used previous version of CM the battery lasted 3 days with minimal using and turning the flight mode at night on.
As long as I installed newer version with JBX kernel the battery lasts 20 hrs max.
Power Tutor says that the most hungry apps are Android System and Kernel

[Q] Battery drain on moto g running 4.4.2

I hav been using moto g for the past 3 months. The phone worked perfectly for the 1st month. But after 1 month there is some battery drain issue.
When the phone is in standby the battery drain unexpectedly fast. i get a screen time of only abt 1.5 hours. During the night the battery come down by 25-30%(3g and wifi are both off). I have factory reset the phone but the problem still persists. I have also tried to keep the phone in safe mode when i go to sleep but the battery still drains heavily. The Battery drain in expected amount when i am using the phone. Battery saver apps doesnt seem to help the battery life. Thanx in advance.
Since you are on 4.4.2 could it be the mm-qcamera-daemon problem? The process is well known for causing battery drain if there are certain apps installed (like Snapchat or Skype).
Also known is higher battery drain after using GPS.
Maybe this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2654180 gives you some ideas how to isolate your problem

I have installed Skype. Maybe it is the cause. Thanks a lot for linking me to d right thread.
You're welcome!
So uninstalling Skype (or just updating? Not shure if there has been a recent fix) maybe help. Or wainting for 4.4.3 which shouldnt take too long

I have uninstalled Skype. but the battery still came down by abt 10% last night. so there may be another problem. 4.4.3 hopefully comes with a solution to the skype problem.

I have the feeling my answers seem a bit chaotic... Sorry for that.
Well at least now you know that Skype not seems to be the issue. I should have stated already that you could try an app like "Gsam Battery Monitor" or "Better Battery Stats" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809). They give you a detailed list of processes that consume battery.
Unfortunately I can not tell if and how good the work without root
I have tried gsam battery app. It jus showed normal stats nothing out of the ordinary... I have installed greenify n added a bunch of apps to it which I thought drains more battery. but Battery life has not increased.
I looked at d link from ur earlier reply. Many users face d same problem but for some of them rebooting solves the problem.
Don't think any installed apps r causing it.
I have switched over to ART runtime because I read that it has better battery efficiency. I'll use it for a couple of days n chk.
The battery drain graph when screen is off seems a bit steep than normal. Maybe it's a bug in 4.4.2.

[HELP] H60-L04 Battery drain (20h in stand-by mode)

Hi all,
I am facing some battery issues for a month now. It dropped suddenly from 3 days autonomy to 20 hours and can't finf the reason.
Tests I did
0) Identify apps consuming battery (google service and so on...). Did many changes but at the end same problem.
1) Update from B521 to B860 (OTA)
From now on, all tests are donr without any additionnal applications
2) Wipe cache + wipe data
3) Downgrade to B521 (first B800 then B521)
4) Test in stand-by mode. Still having the issue! This is wierd to me. Battery drains exactly the same with phone in stand-by mode or not!
5) Test with different SIM cards
6) Test forcing 3G/2G (no 4G). A bit better (about 1 day without using the phone)
8) Test without SIM nor google account connected... same issue
Any ideas?

Thank you for your suggestion.
I'm currently running "Spectrum" theme. Which I guess is the default one as I haven't change anything since reinstall.
I'm facing battery problems since I'm running Marshmallow...
In battery settings it shows that the display is draining battery the most. There's no specific app shown.
If I get 2 and a half hours of screen on time I can be happy...
Sorry for not having an answer but I'm feeling with you.
Just installed "Better Battery Stats" and "Wakelocks detector lite" even if I am not rooted (followed tutorials for non rooted devices).
Hope I get more info tgis way.
I'll post results for experts analysis
Just uploaded better battery stats dump after first full discharge (see 1rst post)
If someone can have look, as I can't see anything strange...
I guess it is the update, it seems it's not fully optimized yet.

Is anybody see something stange on BBS attached on 1st post?
Hello, I hope I can help with this information. i've been all day with airplane mode and just Wi-Fi on and with 3h 36m of screen on time. The second picture shows how the system is half of the time awake and the other half in deep sleep. I always need to charge this phone every night, because when I'm at home I'm almost always below 20% of the battery. I'm at the latest version B860, but I've have had this battery life since I bought this phone like three months ago.

Hello Vicioxis,
In my case I used to have at least 2 days without needed to charge the device. It changed suddenly to 20h max without change the way I use the phone.
Actuality, it doesn't seems to change anything wether I'm using the phone or not...
I added some thumbmails and a new BBS dump file in case somebody sees something wrong:crying:
As you can see, the device is mostly in deep sleep but I have a lot of wakelocks!
Has anyone here installed Kangvip ROM or the stock or any other? Also I feel the smartphone almost always warm at the back-right. Is this normal? Should I try to install any custom ROM to see if this improves?

Battery Drain Issue

Hi,
I am facing a lot of battery drain issue. My phone is only a month old . I have updated toemui 5 with nougat. The battery doesn't last for more than half a day. May a little more than that. I'm losing a lot of juice even when the phone is on standby.
I keep closing all apps when I get the message for power using apps. I have disabled most of the apps too from using my battery..
Someone please advice. I also feel that the charging is very slow on my device
Do you use GPS location? Data? Wifi? Do you have strange signal on your SIM?
I found these things that they consume most of the battery.
Do not close just apps but what drains the battery in standby is a lot of wifi, data and cellular..
Try to disable that settings every time you are not useing it.. evan if two sim.. disable the one not needed.. this should help..
But then again I never disable anything and still can go up to 2 days..sometimes one day and having still 40% .. are you on the latest noughat 7??

GPS is rarely on. WiFi is on all the time. Data is usually off..
The phone is a bit quirky when it comes to battery for me. Some days, the power drain is unreal and will lose 10% per hour during standby. Other days, it will sleep all night long and only lose 2-3%. Even stranger, the days when the drain is very high, the stock battery graph shows the phone with minimal awake time. And on the days when the battery is not draining, it will show constant system wake ups when the screen is off for hours. I've only had mine for a few weeks, so I'm hoping it's just reacting to all the apps and settings I keep adjusting and will settle down over time.
I think this issue came with Nougat update... Noone complained with A6..

Many, many users complained about the battery issue on noughat 7. So me to was thinking should I risk to update to N7 or just stay on MM
Couse many users tried it and than did the roll back to MM
So I tried it to and was not having any battery drain
And with the latest noughat version like the B381 I am having or depanding on model it is the B385 or the B387 it not just adds more features like better camera options and functions but it also gives the battery drain fix many already reported that the drain is now gone.. and for me it is evan better battery on B381 then it was on B360.. much better.. like 30% better
