Hello guys.
What are your experiences with battery saver apps and moto g?
I'm having some results with Snapdragon Battery Guru and Dimmer to reduce screen brightness. I'm not rooted yet.
I've read about Greenify and certainly gonna try it when get rooted.
Would you share what you have found about saving battery?
What would you suggest?
Any ROM in special? Apps? Tips? Prayers?
Does the JB stock rom , with Motorola and Google system apps. drains too much my power?
I'm sure it does more than a custom ROM , but could you tell about this difference? How much more juice would you it save in comparison?
I use low screen brightness, no sync at all, no battery killers like Facebook, but still feel like I could have more battery time from my moto g.
Thanks in advance.
Update to greenify no longer requires root

Hello, thanks for the advice, I'm trying it but it requires manual force stop to every app... This is annoying, but at least works and help speeding up the close of several apps

I'm also curious of battery stats with people who have Greenify (rooted) on their Moto G.
Anyone to share some useful opinion?

I use greenify (rooted). I use my moto all day normaly: some calls, 3g on (ever), some pictures, tuneIn (about 45 min.), IM+ on (with Facebook, gtalk, skype signed in), play some chess of sudoku, Surf in the web by Dolphin Browser.
I freezed a lot of apps with Titanium Backup (Motorolas apps). In the night, I have 40%

Nice to know, i got to root my moto g only to freeze motirola and google stuff

I have 41% battery left and it says 2 days, 2 hours, 34 minutes on battery.
Screen is listed at the top as usual with 44% and says Time On - 5hours 40minutes
I don't use any batter saving app or even the Motorola one because I am using the GPE ROM now.

Screenshot or it didnt happen. Seriously though, if those numbers are legit I also need GPE ROM.

Read what i said though, it might also be due to me flashing the ROM's and the new ROM not reading the battery correctly the first time or two.

Because I'm near sure it was only me connecting it to the pc a couple of times, i guess i could of been wrong.
Does the graph in the battery menu, show when the battery is charged again ?
I'm back on the UK kitkat ROM, so i will see how i get on once i run the battery fully down, then fully charge, and make sure not to connect it to the pc.

Yup, I connected it to the PC to transfer some big files and it charged up to 10%
Hello guys. Im using kit kat stock with greenify no rooted, and my battery last more than when i had jelly bean stock ROM.
Im using any other APP, i tried snapdragon battery saver but it did nothin, actually i noticed it was draining it faster.
Try Greenfy even if your are not rooted, it is awesome.

The battery is epic on this phone. Why do you need to improve it? It lasts way longer than a whole day. What more do you need?
On Moto G XT1033
My moto g takes 3 to 3.30 hours for charging 20 % to 100%.
Is it normal ?
I am charging with Indian charger comes with box.

The battery on this guy is sure epic. Standby time is really incredible for a smartphone. I usually last 18 hours light-moderate usage and about 12 hours of heavy usage. Note that I only use 2G since Wi-Fi is available on my home and school.

Yep. Normal, as the charger is 500 mah, use 1A or 2A charger to charge quickly

Looks like you have an app in the background that causes your problems and dont let your phone to deep sleep
i figured it was something along that line...since deep sleep takes up so little. but i thought the screen is the biggest waster, any app that is simply in the background shoudlnt deplete my battery so fast.... i have to charge 3 times a day...
BUT HOW DO I FIX THIS..

Yes, but the screen cant eat your whole battery in 2h ... i have ARHD 6.1.0 and stock kernel and my screen time is about (minimal) 4h with autobrightness

I am not sure what apps and mods you are running, but what i would do is:
-install android wall from HERE to block some useless apps to access the internet (this app has a widget too so you can enable and disable the firewall whenever you want)
-use more the task manager to track what apps are running
-follow this instructions (the one you think could help)
-and disable some unneeded apps here
edit: almost forget, dont use any task killer, they are useless and causing more battery drain ... ill quote one of the best kernel devloper we have on the HOX so far, faux123: "Please DO NOT use any task killers, they DO NOT improve performance nor battery life. They INTERFERE with your phone's stability (more crashes) and App compatibilities (Forced Close)."
Basically what the title says?
I've burned 10 percent every 30 minutes when using tapatalk straight? Does it burn more battery than a web Os or another mobile site?
Thanks in advance
Its a pretty light application. The battery drain comes from your screen being on and phone actively pulling data.

Maybe slightly because its doing full page loads and tapatalk is just loading some background data to the same view. Its gonna probably be about the same though. Like I said, its not the app you're using, it's the fact that the screen on and its using data that drains the most battery.
tapatalk is a battery saver app. when i used browser, the baterry was dropping very fast. tapatalk use less energy than browser
If you're using any app that uses the radio and you have a weak signal, your battery will drain fast. Try to find a sweet spot where reception is good and your battery will last longer. And lowering screen brightness helps, as mentioned.
Tapatalk was the reason for drain for me about a week ago.
I had my phone on charge overnight. Pulled it out and went to work and about 30 minutes later it was at 94% and I had done nothing. Turned out Tapatalk drained my battery for whatever reason. It has only done that once though so I don't know what happened. Has not done it again since. Usually Tapatalk takes like 2% of my battery for my use.
You checked "Yes this is a question"
That means it goes in Q&A

uncheck tapatalk notification system, done

Tapatalk is a battery drainer in my case, too (SGS2). What's more problematic, once you've launch Tapatalk and use it to visit a forum, only killing it with a task manager would stop it from consuming memory. For whatever reason, Tapatalk is constantly consuming CPU cycles, even when it's in background. The developers are aware of this issue, but so far no fix.
take off tapatalk notifications and enable the dark theme.

It would still keep running in background and continue consume battery unless I shoot its process.

Hey guys. I have really bad battery drain and I am constantly having to charge my phone.
If I'm using it, it goes down like 1% a minute, and when I leave it overnight (pretty sure it should lose like 10% at most?) it loses like 35%.
I'm using stock unrooted, so it should be stable and fine.
I have included some screen shots from better battery stats as I don't know what they mean.
Thank you!

Try deleting the HTC hub account, so it doesn't always sync. I'm having a big battery drain but I am rooted and using costum ROMs and everything. While I was on stock HTC hub made the drain for me. Try it and PM me if it didn't work

all they really do is shut your data off when the screen is off, which will save you some battery. but then you wont get any notifications from apps that use data i.e. email, Facebook, etc. or at least that's how it was last time i tried those apps like a year ago, maybe they've changed it.

The apps will sync, or should sync, depending on the interval you set the phone to sync. I have mine set every 15 minutes, it saves me around 10-15% battery life a day.
Depend on your settings I think, mine worked exceeding my expectations. I had the dreaded hot phone and literally 5 hours battery life. My last hope is to install a custom ROM and kernel and hope for the best, but I'm trying to stay stock as possible if I can help it. I have my fair share tinkering with custom ROMs with GNex and needless to say I'm done customizing (it's endless once you start!).
So I installed JDU just for the heck of it, lo and behold it actually works. I now get 12hrs with 15% left after a day worth of usage, browsing, lots of yelp, maps and navigation (travelling at the moment), pandora, fb, whatsapp, gosms, GNow and camera. Please note that I'm using the N4 for less than a week and still conditioning the battery, I use JDU for a full day today for the first time.
I realized that using JDU is only a temporary 'fix' until Google patch the battery issue. I hope to get 14-16hrs battery life without JDU on stock and rooted ROM. One can only hope eh..

Junk apps are junk.
I lose 10% an hour (sometimes more) doing absolutely nothing with my phone. I check battery stats and like 98% is screen.
Question: how can that be possible if the screen isn't even on ?
I have tried everything. I'm running CM10 stable (which is supposed to be good for battery life)
10% an hour? This is a joke right? I have like no apps running. I even tried using apps that put the phone into DEEPSLEEP as soon as the phone/screen shuts off -- meaning every app is closed.
Nothing.
Any ideas? please help i love this phone but im going through 2 batteries a day and im not even using the phone that much.
