previously my moto G's battery lasted like 5-7 days with light usage. now it's only last like 1 day with standby time. due to this battery drain I rooted the device and tried CyanogenMod 11 too.. then I revert back to my stock version due to some application instability with cyanogenmod but the issue still remains after trying many tricks, including blocking Google Play services and many more ..
is there any efficient methods to improve standby time and identify battery hogging processes ? or is this battery drain a normal issue in Android 4.4.3 ?
Please help.. I desperately need more help here ..
Flash Faux Kernel and install DS Battery Saver.

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)

Think mine is clearly a battery issue. Replaced the battery with a new one yesterday and now the phone lasts 6 hrs at least on a single charge.
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
I could never pump out more than 5h SoT on my opo. Right now I'm getting around 3h before I need to charge it . I'm on stock Cyanogen on 12. I've tried exodus etc and it's all the same :/ My usage isn't even that heavy, I don't play any games at all so I'm sure this is either a rom issue or faulty hardware issue not sure. Is there any setting/rom you guys recommend ? I was thinking about going back to Kitkat but which version has the best battery life ? Thanks and I appreciate any help whatsoever
PS: I disabled the Google services battery drain.

hello dev
i advice you of using this rom
resurrection remix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-resurrection-remix-lp-5-2-0-t2971715
at the moment i'm using it and it's perfect not a single problem mem leak or battery
:good:
Exodus should give you a hell of a battery life. I have heard nothing but good stuff about that ROM. I myself have not used it yet, but I'm planning to.
I get between 4,5 - 6 hours SOT with AK kernel and v1.9 of real_pac's synapse settings. I also use greenify.
Try rooting your phone and add these additional tweaks, your battery life should be much better!
I am rooted and everything. I was on exodus but it was as good as cm12 nightlies :/ Resurrection I have tried too and i only got 3h SoT I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong unfortunately . I'll try to use greenify and I'll report back
I feel you, never got more than around 3 hours of SOT. Brightness is always below 50 percent, I turn off gps when I dont use it, 3G/wifi all day long. Im running exodus as some people said it had amazing battery life, but don't really see a difference. I am rooted with he paid version of greenify + the paid version of amplify, and the power nap xposed module aswell as privacy guard on google play services. Yet I never ever even get close to the 4-9 hours SOT which some people seem to get. I really don't understand it either..
what's the awake time on your Android System or Android OS? I think I'm in the same boat, flashed BlissPop and RenderUber and left it idle with no additional settings or apps installed, then come back to it and find a good chunk of battery life gone. Both roms had Android System using 1hr of awake time.
Then I installed BBS on both roms, found nothing. Google Play Services wake up permission is disabled in Privacy Blocker, haven't installed Greenify or Servicely yet but just wondering why on stock settings there'd be such a heavy drain.
Update:
Just found something interesting. The battery drain now is just pathetic. Powered up my phone, left it idle for 30 seconds and reboot. Bam, 1% of battery life gone. Repeated this 5 times in a row, every time the phone reboots, 1% of battery will drop. It doesn't drop right after, it sometimes drop after the phone idles for about 1~2 minute but that's just insane.

This is completely normal, the boot process is very intensive and consumes more battery than if your phone was just sitting idle, or even being used normally.

For those of you desiring a phone with +6h SoT. Revert back to cm11s and be happy with your SoT. I did two days ago and I have no regrets. Running amplify with greenify simultaneously and I'm getting around 7h SoT.
My 1 month old s6 (920i) struggles to get a 3.5hr SOT during the day. Coming from the s3 where i used to easily get a 5hr SOT with the same usage style i can say this is pathetic. In the battery section top of the list i have Android OS and Google Services, followed by Facebook and Instagram. All drain battery more than the screen itself !!?
Note that i have most of the things turned off except when using them, such as wifi, gps, nfc etc...
Also i tried booting to stock recovery and clearing cache but this has not solved the issue.
The phone does go to deep sleep as i have checked using BBS.
What could be the issue any help or tips is greatly appreciated.
3.5 hours of battery life for continous heavy use is just about average. I get the same battery usage times.
I've had 0,3-0,5% battery drain per hour (in standby) on stock 4.3 Jelly Bean. After update to KitKat, my battery started to drain faster and it was somewhere around 1,0-1,5%/h so I downgraded back to the Jelly Bean and all was normal again. Now, I updated to 5.1.1 AOSP Lollipop and even with everything off and all battery friendly settings, I'm experiencing exactly the same issue: 1,0-1,5% battery drain/h. I've made a new record with 14,5 days of battery life with light use (on 4.3) and now it's not possible to go over 4-5 days in IDLE ! I've made a factory reset/wiped everything. How is it possible that Lollipop causes me this battery drain when Jelly Bean didn't do it ?
I monitored my battery with wakelock detectors for 3 days but there is no wakelocks and device is (as apps said) in deepsleep most of the time.
Any suggestions ? I like new system but with this terrible battery life it's really annoying.

Terrible battery life would be less than 10-12 hours for me with mixed use. What do you use your smartphone (more like pocket computer nowadays) for anyway? 14 days of standby probably means not touching it at all, so why bother switching it on?
lp make more use of battery and processor , the only thing that I can do, to got a good time of battery is turn off all animations , in the OP you say "AOSP" you use a rom? the last build of alberto have battery drain , y recomend aosparadox is really cool
@davider222
I also want a great battery life. Do you know where can I download Android 4.3 for Moto G ? Beacuse I can't find any .zip costum ROM or Motorola ROM.
@Eurofighter_ty
you can't downgrade from 5.1 bootloader to older 4.3 bootloader because you will probably hardbrick your device but here are some links from xda
[GUIDE] Moto G - Restore stock firmware
All KitKat and Lollipop firmwares
@STR4NG3R-GUY
I have 20150909 version, it's also impacted by battery drain ? I have just tested GPS and it consumed only 13% of battery during 6 h long bicycle trip so I'm experiencing only stand by battery drain, normal use is probably fine
@davider222
if you have that issues , why stay in lollipop ?, downgrade to kitkat :3
my phone battery is draining at idle . like i left my phone at 49 percent at night when i woke up cheak it was 29% i thot that is an battery issue so yesterday i replace my old battery with new one bt results are same please jelp me out or tell me which rom should i use to fix this

besides stock EUI rom, AOKP MM has the best battery life and stability. only downside is bluetooth audio does not work. im testing out MIUI 8 but battery does not seem that good.

My Le1S displays the same erratic battery behaviour...It all started after the 19s update...Don't know whether it was a coincidence and if I have a software or hardware issue...Battery charged to 100% - would then drop to 40% within a few hours - then jump to 20% in another 1 hour - and then would start discharging at the rate of 1% every second and finally shut down...I tried every battery calibration method mentioned on this forum; did a factory reset numerous times; nothing helped...
For long, I've been thinking of downgrading to EUI 14s using one of the links in the Leeco forum...Am even thinking of flashing the 23s chinese version another link...
This was a beautiful when I had bought it...Not sure why things took such a downturn that now it has become a nightmare...I literally have to keep it connected to a charger most of the time...Pls let me know if you find a solution for this issue and if a battery change helps you...If nothing works, I am planning to move to the Redmi Note 4 soon...
The issues come from the source used i believe. Every nougat rom has battery drain. Every non-EUI based marshmallow rom has bt audio issue. Don't know issues with lollipop ones. EUI roms i have used all have this notifications issue, sometimes phone wont receive any even if every battery saving feature is disabled.
Best marshmallow roms for those who don't care about Bluetooth audio, AOKP and AICP. I would gladly go back to EUI, even miui or flyme, without those notifications and Bluetooth issues.
Use the CM 13 ROM (either LOS 13 from the xda forum or the cm 13 by bule from bbs.ydss.cn) which gives the best standby time even with all apps running in the night the battery drain is about 1 to 3% all night. I use the eui 26s rom which battery backup is also good I have no issue like you mentioned.
