yes but only when using app, it usually drain 6% over night but now its about 10% overnight and when playing games (order and chaos online) one hour session would drain about maybe 10-30% but now 2 hours sends me straight to 0% so yeah

Yeah me too, now Im using Stamina everyday to reduce the battery drain but if this keeps happening we will have to downgrade to 4.4.2 cuz this is a lot of battery drain!

that funny, cause that what I'm doing right now, i don't really see anything in 4.4.4. i thought bugs fixed would fix my favourite game. (Galaxy on fire 2) it would crash on launch even when i just got my phone. so i wanted the 4.4.4 to fix it but not really :/
Also (dunno if it's me being me but) i cannot root it so yeah. I'm sliding back to 4.4.2 as i see no real improvement
And on Antutu it dropped a WHOLE 2000! i got a 19000 ish score before now when i do a general test it about 17000-16500 maybe 17500 on a good day with reboots and cool-down overnight before the test. So getting to 4.4.2 is best for me. But gotta find a way to get the system update to stop notifying me.
well that was my 10hour rage. i hope i gave you good info that maybe you didn't know befor

My battery life...who's fkn with it? Lol

Screenshot of My battery stats, wondering how I compare to others

Wow, very impressive. I think the best I got was when I was at work for 9 hours and barely touched my phone and went home with it at 80% from 95% at the beginning of my shift. Some peoples battery life amazes me!
My battery is terible!
I am getting only around 8 hrs with little use, most of my usage is from cell standby. Is there a way I can fix this?
i am getting similar battery life as yours. running everything stock, no root.

My battery life is horrible. After only moderate use at work it's down to at least 50%. How is it that your cell standby is so low?! Even if I'm using the phone a lot throughout the day, cell standby is always at the top; even screen won't surpass it.
Idk about that man, seems kinda ****ty. if I were you I'd look into a replacement battery but that's me

How are you guys getting such good battery life. I am at 61 percent with very little usage through out work. Only a couple short phone calls and checking email occasionally.
Is there a 4G toggle yet for our phone?

my screen shot above is with wifi,4g, and gps all on! I leave them on all the time and let the device do its thing.
here is my setup:

these shots are good, but screen on time is crucial for these screenshots. the phones will last forever if the screen is never turned on

Battery drain help

Hello guys
I have since 1 week a very weird problem my phone is very warm on the top of the phone and the battery just drains down I charge it in the night so my phone is 100% in the morning and when I get it out of my pocket after 1 hour 68% left and the top of the phone is just very hot
How can I solve this I don't have the time to bring it away because I need my phone for school and work
This problem started when I upgraded to 4.2.2 the Spanish one and I flashed back to 4.1.2 yesterday but the problem is still here
I also deleted everything on my phone wiped it nothing helps
Sent from my GT-P7310 using xda app-developers app
I'm having the same problem, although phone is not getting any hot or anything like thath.
But battery is draining like hell. In a few second it will go from 15% to 0% and phone will shut down automatically.
Also when phone is fully charged it will drain battery pretty quick even with screen switched off and just music playing it will go dwon from 100 to 70 in one hour.
I've switched off all push email, facebook stuff etc. not usibg 3g much, got no clueue whats causing this to be honest.

You could try Greenify or Wakelock which will point you in the direction of what is using resources and to hibernate the offenders.
Quite useful apps.
I've tried greenify and it was causing more damage than good

Battery drain issue

Since better battery stats & co don't work on KitKat as of right now, I'm asking for your help in diagnosing the causes of my battery drain issue so here are some screenshots of my battery stats. I attached the last one to show that GPS should be deactivated.

If you set the location service to Device only, I expect things will become much better.
The other location settings enables Googles data collection of our movements, not just our location. This is how Google Now will tell us things like how far we've walked or cycled. In order to know this, the phone is basically waking up every few seconds, getting location information and firing it back to Google.
Google have said themselves in some key note speech that their new location collection API's will use 1% of battery power an hour, which doesn't sound a lot put like that, but equals a quarter of our battery capacity in a day. If you haven't a good cell signal, I expect this 1% is very conservative.
Unfortunately there is no way to tame this collection of data, even if you opt out of everything. Basically if Wi-Fi is enabled for location gathering, it collects this data even if we ourselves don't use it. Google will be using this data to collect information about us, and also uses it for detecting traffic congestion.
Try setting location to Device only and see if things improve, even with apps then using GPS as their only option it will probably be better. While GPS does use a bit more power, it will not be pinging every 10 seconds or so.
Also in the battery page look at the Screen On and Awake blue bars. Ideally you should only have Awake shown at the same time as Screen On. If there are lots of Awakes without the screen being on, that is something using your phone when you are not, usually this is location services.
Regards
Phil
Thank you for your answer but if I'm not mistaken this will disable all the Google now functionalities which need your location to work, right? Also, here's a screenshot of the detailed battery stats

Battery usage

Hi guys, I've just bought a Motorola moto g 16gb and then I've installed android 4.4.2 and I noticed that the battery stats doesn't show the battery usage of many user apps..
Is it a bug or not?

It does, but it won't show any user app that is less than (I think) 4% use. He's got a user app showing up on the list in his screenshot.
What has changed is that some user app use of core OS features now get reported as Android OS/Android System where as under JB they were reported as the originating app.

OK, really need to know battery consumed, how much of that is reported to be the screen and the screen on time to see if that is an issue. It is normal for screen to be top of the list with regular usage but how much it drains (and how much screen on time you get) is basically going to be a function of your brightness settings.
Looking at your second screen shot I can see a couple of things you might want to investigate/change.
Wifi is always on - fine if you are actually connected to wifi - but if you are out and about and not using a wifi connection having wifi enabled will add a significant amount to your idle drain rate. You should also disable 'Scanning always available' in the Advanced Wifi Settings (Settings/Wifi/Menu Button.Advanced).
Your cell signal is often quite poor - not a lot you can do about it but that will cause faster drain when you are connected to mobile data.
Your phone is waking up regularly when not in use. There could be numerous causes for this, but most likely it is having location set to High Accuracy or Battery Saver - the phone is regularly collecting info from your cell tower connections and surrounding wifi networks to feed back to Google to get a location fix, and apps that like to know your location may be asking for a fix regularly. Depending on what you use location for you may wish to consider turning it off entirely or running in Device Only mode.
You've used GPS - some people have experienced an issue with a continually higher drain rate after using GPS - it's intermittent - for some it is everytime after using GPS, some most of the time, others very occasionally. A reboot will fix if this is an issue (it doesn't look like it is a problem but it's hard to tell - it's most obvious if the battery drains in airplane mode).
I turned off the GPS right now, disabled 'scanning always available' and set the brightness as auto.. I'll write here if this will increase my battery life or not, thank you anyway

You might want to keep it between 10 to 20% manually adjusting to higher levels if you're going outside, for the brightness sensor to not be working and therefore, consuming more battery.
From this morning at 10a.m. with 94% of battery I reached the 9p.m. with 7% of battery and I used it a bit more of my average use.. That's better than before (I had to charge my phone at 8p.m.), so thank you guys

Battery drain help

Hi all,
I'm fairly new to android and I'm trying to work out where my drain is coming from. Since getting my One, I've had battery drain issues since changing from 25R to 30O and 33R. Thinking it was C11s, I've now moved to CRDroid with AK kernel (clean flash).
I've checked for wake locks and all seems OK and I'm at a loss. I've also checked for the phone not going into deep sleep and that seems OK too. I've added some screen shots below of some representative data and hope I can get some help here.

Have you clicked on the battery graph to see if your GPS is stuck on? Somtimes my GPS stays on even after I turn it off and continues to drain battery until I restart the phone.
GPS is definitely off when I'm not using it, thanks.
You've got Bluetooth on? Your signal seems low to that can cause the battery to drain as well. Do you location turned on?

I do have everything turned on, Bluetooth because of my pebble and location is on too. However this was how I had my phone on 25R and the battery life was infinitely better.

AK kernel has all the battery commits in might be worth trying the new beta instead with further commits. Bluetooth and location will drain battery but I don't make use of either that much to notice what effect it has on battery.

Yup having battery drain too but after i hit 50 percent, it started going down slower. Manages 123 hours run time with 5 hours screen on time. Not the best but not bad. Charging now for Round two tomorrow. If I don't like it, going to 25r
