hey guys, am I the only one.....
after the last update, my battery went to [email protected]!
Initially I would get a good 24 to 28 hours. No, I barely get 8.
No other chnages...???
Did you try restoring your device to defaults? Maybe formatting a battery will be a solution (discharge it to 0% then fully charge - do it 3 times).
I bought mine on monday, it updated as soon as I started it. First charge of course took a toll from me playing with the watch, only 13 hours. Second charge, took it off the charger at 9.30 pm last night, used it for about 2 hours, put it on "do not disturb" until 6.30 am this morning, only lost 8% battery in 9 hours.
Now, after 3 hours of normal use (not much looking at it and light notifications) lost 3% so it's roughly doing 1 or 2 % and hour. Not so bad if it stays that way.
I hope to get it to 2 days of normal use, if it gets me there, it's a solid buy.

I just thought someone might get a kick out of this. I have my captivate as a backup phone now. It has no sim in it and I turned off data and wifi and gps. Anyway I couldnt remember how long I had left it on so I went to battery status and its been on and unplugged for 4 days and still has 60% battery life. At this rate it should last ten days in this state. Its loaded with stock 2.2
I get about the same with my Tilt 2, which is now relegated to playing 10-20 minutes of Wordly on before bed every night.
I tried that with my nokia a few times and used to get 11-12 days in offline mode.
Too bad they don't last as long when connected to the network.
I have LG Vue...went to 6 days with normalcalls and text...my cappy was envy of it..
Day ten and still have 5% battery life, might last about 11 more hours for 10.5 days total.
I have this phone for two months, stock rom, not rooted, don't use mobile internet, only wi-fi, not always on, I would say a moderate usage.
The last week I am experiencing big battery problems, it drains in half a day. Nothing new installed in the last week that could be a problem, I think I had only few app updates from the market, but am not sure if the time is the same as the beginning of battery problems.
The first time I have charged the battery in the evening, disconected the charger after the light turned green, it was about 10pm, the next morning at 6 am the battery was at 4%?! The second time the battery was charged from 15% to 65% (I had no time to full carge), from 4pm to 10 pm it went down to 3% again.
Last night I made a full charge, disconected the charger at 6am this morning, now at 8 am the battery is at 75%, I don't understand...
I don't let the apps sync automatically and I use wifi only, everything is setup not to drain the battery, no problems till the last few days...I have installed GO launcer a month ago but I don't think it could be a problem, it worked all well till now.
Any thoughts or suggestions what to do?
When you go to settings,about phone, battery usage, what does the statistic point out as the biggest user? You can also download battery monitor widget to see what is usung what.
Goodluck
It says display 58%, cell standby 15%, voice calls 14% (3 voice calls), phone idle 13% (for 4 hours after disconnecting the charger), this last one, phone idle, seems to much considering others?
Anyway, I have powered off the phone, pulled the battery out and put it back in, seems the situation is better, I will see later on.
Now I remember that few days ago the phone got frozen and I had to pull the battery out to restart it because I couldn't restart it regularly. I think it is after that the battery draining problem has begun, is it possible?
Basically as the title says, I've bought a "refurbished" one, but I'm not sure whether it's faulty, or whether this is just the average battery life of one of these things!
Woke up at 6am, I used it for about 30 mins this morning on facebook/ebay/bbc news through wifi. Send about 20 txt messages, 10 minutes on the phone. ANother 30 mins browsing/facebook on my lunch break. 12 hours later it's sitting at 17 hours battery life. And it's been on power save mode the WHOLE time. Is this just something I'm going to need to get used to or is mine just a dud?
LOVE the phone otherwise though
whats youre screen on time? do you keep data and stuff on when not in use?
The first couple of days it will be bad while it builds up cache. It will get better. You can try rooting it and putting a custom kernel in to make it last even longer.

1day 2hours 51minutes and 20s on battery with 43% left No power saver mode.
Hello,
I bought this phone a month ago. At first the battery lasted quite well, I got around 5 hours of screen time with battery life to spare. Unfortunately, about 2 weeks ago I accidentally left the phone under my pillow and fell asleep on it- causing it to overheat a tad bit (I woke up 3 hours later and it was very warm to the touch and had turned off). After charging it up, I continued to use it normally but noticed that the battery would drain a little bit quicker than normal. Before I could easily go around 10 hours with heavy use and have 40% battery left, now after 10 hours it's left with about 15-20%. I am a heavy user but I haven't properly checked how much screen time I'm getting now, however I'll update that later.
As for the main problem- last night I charged my phone before sleeping (100%) and when I woke up in the morning it was turned off. I turned it on only to see that my battery had drained to 0% while on standby all night- whereas overnight I usually only lose around 2-3% battery.
After charging my phone up for 15 minutes- the battery level again returned to 100%. I only charge my phone through my laptop via USB. What happened here? Is my battery deteriorating? Should I get the phone replaced? I would appreciate any input on the matter. Thanks.
Also I've attached the screenshots showing how my battery died and how it was quickly restored. Can someone explain this occurrence?

Your sudden battery drop has nothing to do with what happened before.
Several people already mentioned this sudden battery drop as you can read in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545553 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2678909
No reason to return your device, its a know issue.
Drain your battery completly then charge your phone to 100%, turn the phone one and leave it to charge a hour more. Essentialy you have to recalibrate your battery.
So a brief update regarding SOT.
I left home with 90% charge this morning. Used the phone for 8 hours and it went down to 20% - granted, with heavy use.
Got 4.5 hours of SOT. Is this about average? imo I feel like this falls a bit below average. Ill check other threads as well and compare, but as far as I know, I feel like I should be getting a *little* more juice out of my phone. Data connection was on throughout, and some games were played and pictures taken.
Anyone else feel like they're getting sub-par use out of their battery?
*screenshots provided.
- checked the other threads, looks like ~5 hrs SOT is the most this phone puts out?
Same here.
Are there any news from Motorola?
Sent from my Commodore 64 using Videotel
Ever since the Kit Kat update -- my battery life has been bad.
I used to be able to get almost 2 whole days on one charge - I loved it.
Now I'm lucky to get about 12 hours and be at 20-30%.
The last week or so, my phone gets incredibly hot near the top 1/3 of the device - front and back. The battery life is abysmal. I can be from 100% to 20% in a few hours. ON top of that, it's charging REALLY slowly. I plugged in last night when I was down to 5% and was browsing the web and the battery actually went to 0% and shut off. That was the first time it's done that. I let it charge and it got up to about 80% by 6am this morning.
What's up with this thing? I am doing a backup now to do a hard reset. But I'm afraid if I restore the backup whatever is happening will just happen again. Any suggestions?
Side note - I ran it in safe mode yesterday and went from 8am to 4pm using only 15%!!!
