Moto 360 Battery ****! - Moto 360

So I got my moto 360 about 6 days ago... I don't use any pre-installed apps too much.. I just use the watch to look at my time. The 3rd party apps I use are- Wear mini launcher and Wear Audio recorder... I just use them about 3 times a day and my battery life lasts around 7 hrs MAX! If I use my 3rd party apps, then its even worse. Yesterday I took my watch off the charger at 8:30 am and it barely made till 2 pm without 3rd party apps used. I tried factory resetting the watch twice. But with no luck. Saviours of XDA, please save me! I love this watch but this is a serious problem
P.S, I am running android 5.1.1 with android wear 1.3 and build number LCA44B.

As you can see, my battery lasted from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm. It was on 95% because it was charging when i took the screenshot... but you probably know that from the graph.

If you have any of the location settings turned on (on your phone settings>>location set to off), turn those off. If your not using Google card preview turn that off too. If your not using Fit disable that too. I took mine off the charger @ 9PM last night, it is now 3:45 PM and I still have 69%. I have all notifications going to the watch, email from 2 accounts, sms, calendar.
Basically, turn off anything you are not using. You always have the option of turning it back on. Ambient display is another battery killer as well as wrist gestures... I just tap to display.

Everything you said is already turned off for me. I go to school at 8:30 am and get back home at 3.00 pm. Today I took the watch off the charger at 8:25 am and at 3:00 pm, I had 54% left. So its better but definitely not as good as you. Since I can't take my phone to school, I switched on airplane mode.
I'm getting worried. Some people say that the battery life gets better magically about 2 weeks later. And yesterday I saw this video on youtube where a guy replaced his 6 hour moto 360 to get a new one which gave him more that 24 hours battery backup. The last date that I can replace my 360 from where I ordered it is 14th of October. Should I wait for 2 weeks or replace my watch? What happed with you? Did your watch perform poorly at the start too? Or did you have this amazing battery life from the start?

My battery life got better over time, but if you are concerned, replace it while you can. Nothing worse than wondering what if I would have gotten a new one....

As I said, I got home at 3:00 pm. I have received notifications since then and used the watch more than I do at school. Its 8:45 pm and I still have 6% left. So I think I will keep it. Its definitely getting better. Today it went a little more than 12 hours. So yeah, its nice. Thank you for all your help by the way... I look forward for battery life like yours. Will post an update tomorrow.

Disable location settings on phone, not watch... You can disable card previews in the android wear app.
Also, you can disable ambient mode from both android wear app and the watch itself.

Go to settings on the watch, scroll down to ambient mode and turn it off. Search Google for more details.

I've done this and I cannot get CLOSE to the battery life you guys get. I lose about 10% an hour if it's connected to my phone. I can get better than that if it's in airplane mode, but it's not by much. Maybe 5%. I have Google Fit turned off, I let the battery drain to 0, reset SEVERAL times, reset PHONE several times.
I did the tips above, but I don't know if it will help. When I described my issue with Motorola, they said that it sounded like there might be a battery issue.
But, I can't tell. Is there something else I am missing?
I want to use Moto Body, have a Watchmaker Premium Watch Face, use "Ok Google", use a Pedometer, and have the watch connected to the phone with notifications. I've read arguments for both Moto Body and Google Fit, and how each is better than the other with regards to battery life, but I can't tell. I just want this watch to work!
FYI, I bought it a week ago and I wonder if the fact that the watch was sitting there for 6 months on shelf contributed to the bad battery life.
Your thoughts?

Any Sleep tracker Apps that work with the Moto 360

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has found a sleep tracking app that works with the Moto 360.
Thanks

Sleep as Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.sleep) has an Android Wear component that detects your movement. It does work with Moto 360. Just make sure you have your battery charged ahead of time. It consumed about 30% over 8 hours.

Kills my 360 as well. I reported this to the developer and he blamed it on the "old" processor. Claimed the Gear Live works better. I happen to have a Gear Live so I tested that with this app and got the same result. A dead battery before I woke up 8 hours later.
Love the app, but the battery killing kills the app for me.
I generally try to charge my watch before, but generally lose about 40% of over night running the app.

OK, I take that back. Installed Facer and one of the Sinn watch-faces, this morning my watch was dead when I woke up. My early assumption is that using a Facer plus Sleep as Android will drain the battery. I will try it tonight with a stock watch-face to see how the battery handles the sleep tracking.

Has anyone got their watch to last the night? I got the update for the Moto 360 so I'm going to switch to a stock face and charge up before bed.

No luck here, I turned this feature off because it would rather be able to charge my watch up to 100% in the morning before I leave for work than get accurate sleep statistics from my watch.
Hoping that they'll improve it.

Yeah, mine didn't make it either. I'm glad the watch gets a full charge in about an hour.
My Moto 360 has been working well with sleep as android. I usually have about 30% battery remaining.
have anyone tried to work with this app while the moto360 set to flightmode ?

not yet, but i will try.....
so far i make sure at 9pm i charge my 360.... go to bed with like 90%
in the morning its low... only killed it once... but it has been ok to get me to 70% or so with 25 min charge while i get ready
well... i've tried to sleep with the 360 for a few times ... its too bulky to sleep with.
rolled back to the miband.
Using LG G watch
I've been using Sleep as Android for the past week with my LG G watch and found it only uses about 15-20% of the battery overnight, so with a normal days usage and then a nights sleep im left with about 20% most mornings. Maybe the dev has made some updates recently ans its worth a revisit?
My charge cycle is now in the morning while I'm having brekky and getting for the day, not so bad.....
Morning All,
how do I start the app?
when I start it from the wear launcher, nothing appearant happens, if I start it from my phone (MotoX 1.Gen.) it keeps saying 'waiting for connection'.
What am I doing wrong?
TIA!

did u enabled smartwatch on the app settings??
because i use wear mini launcher, and when i click on it, in a few seconds, it connects to my phone
I got a 40% decrease per night. Given the time the battery usually last, is hard to do much better with the MOTO 360. I simply let it charge when I arrive home after dinner, so I can sleep with it fully charged, and let it charging while getting ready in the morning. Never had a problem of it killing my battery if it was full. Tried with watch apps, and some take it to real kill the battery. I suppose if your watchface reacts to the watch being active, it will drain the baterry. Bu I am using a custom (weather, calendar, time in different timezones) and no problem with Sleep As Android. Also developer had improved a lot since the first posts, so it is the best option and works pretty well with MOTO 360. Better battery buy a pebble

Did exactly the same, wear launcher as well.
Following your steps I just get sort of a timeout message on the watch.
Could it be, that the app portion on the watch somehow is stuck on an old version?

Battery Life?

Got my ZenWatch yesterday and charged it up and used it all day today.. but after just 13 hours - the battery was down to 5%. Most of the reviews I've read suggest 24-36 hours of use.
Anyone else finding the batteries are a little light?
Give the battery a bit of time to settle in. And plus your using the watch a bit more intensively than designed for.
I would be very interested how you'll go after a few days, and a few charge cycles.

The reviews are definitely biased. Mine dropped 50% in only 4 hrs with brightness sett to minimum. Totally dissatisfied with this watch. The performance doesn't even come close to matching the looks.
my wife takes it off the charger at 7:30. When I looked last night around 12:00, it still had 35%. She has it always-on and I think brightness at 3...
I did notice that it seem to disconnect from her phone at a shorter distance than my moto would. Both watches connected to note 4s.
Here is something to think about. I had the moto 360 and returned it primarily do to battery life. Had it for two weeks and hoped it would get better but I would take it off the charger at 530 am and it would be dead before 5 pm sometimes even early afternoon. I got this watch set it up and charged it over night. Took it off the charger at 530 and it was dead by noon the first day. Second took it off the charger at 530 and it lasted until 5. I was thinking I would have to return it but yesterday I took it off at 530 am and at 11 pm it still had 13%. I have been going always on, brightness at 2 or 3. I get a ton of email and text. What I'm saying is maybe it's too early to tell....I got two full days with the gear neo but it just wasn't as cool.
The battery life is excellent here.
One of the review says the battery is horrible if you have "unlock my phone" feature checked on Zenwatch manager. So try to deactivate that feature and try it.
The battery life on my Zenwatch is excellent. I am confident that it will last me the whole day even with active use.
Usually there may be some 3rd party apps that can drain the battery, such as incompatible watch Face.
Couldn't be happier with the battery life! Getting through a full 12-16 hour day with plenty to spare.
Seems like the better battery life is holding up. Took it off the charger at 530 and it is now 10 and I still have 18%.....haven't changed my habits. Won't last even close to two days. But one full day is acceptable.

I think you're right - on day two, I'm at 33% after the same time elapsed. I actually don't use it too intensely and I leave the brightness at 1. We'll see how it goes over the next week.

Definitely, in fact, I removed all the Wear apps from my phone because Wellness was killing my phone's performance, then when I noticed the Watch still thought it was using Wellness, I factory reset the watch and reinstalled just a few apps and left things like 'unlock my phone' off... and it's doing better today.
Thanks everyone for the input.
Keep us updated
I'm waiting for it to be released in Australia.. getting impatient.

I unplugged my watch at 6:30 yesterday morning. At 7:30 pm it still had 63% left. I don't bother with any type of wellness app, at all. I don't bother with any type of 'find my phone' or 'find my watch' or phone unlocking app. I don't use the always on feature, but keep brightness on 3 due to being outside quite often. I use the watch strictly for notifications, and replying to Hangouts messages via the voice input. I have 3 weather locations set in Google Now that all show on my watch, and I play Words With Friends with a dozen different people. Between all that, plus emails, texts and calls I get 100s of notifications throughout each day. To have 63% left at the end of the workday is very acceptable. I could easily go out after work till the wee hours of the morning without any worry of the battery giving out before I do.
Mine goes all day and evening with plenty of juice to spare. I have taken no measures to preserve the battery. I use it to unlock my moto x as well. No issues with battery life that I have seen after 3 days of using the watch.
After the first day of crappie battery life. I am getting a good 18 hours. I'm not doing anything either to preserve battery life. It is WAY better than my moto 360 experience. I usually only have 10 to 13 % left when I put it on the charger but I would charge every night anyway.
It's been good for me... I've been using it with the display always on plus one or more watch faces with weather. Gets me about 16 hours or so. I've been using turn by turn navigation plus media control quite a bit. I've also spent an hour or more playing with facer watch faces.

My watch has now been off the charger for a little over ten hours and I still have 63% battery life left. Holy crap! Best battery life yet, by far, since I've had the watch. Guess it takes about a week to settle in. Couldn't be happier.
Update: It's now been about 13 hours off the charger, and my watch just hit 50%... Starting to think this 2 day battery life claim holds water... Very happy right now!
Much improved now... 14.5 hrs on constantly and I'm at 52%.. which means it should be good for another 14.5 hrs which is 29 hours total run time.
I only need 18 so getting 29 is more than excellent!
I think the battery "guestimate" needs a short while to settle in with such a small battery. The first couple days I actually saw my battery percentage go *up* 3-5% between checking it. When it's saying it's low the first few days you have it, it likely actually isn't.
One last note - as has been mentioned before - some apps can really just suck the watch's battery dry, even apps that seem like they shouldn't. I hope Goog gets a handle on this because there's no really good way that I can see to know in advance other than installing and checking battery use over a day.

Can anyone post anything they have done differently to get the better life. I'm getting close to 2 weeks with it, have seen it get better after it "settled in", but I'm still trying to get a little better. I can make it through the day, but usually only barely and I'm over the constantly fiddling with it part of ownership. I get maybe 50-60 notifications a day. I've tried uninstalling apps, trying to stick with stock watchfaces, it's really hard to tell.
I'm really looking forward to the next update so that I can see what apps are using the battery. I tried the Wear Battery App, but someone suggested they thought it was draining the battery itself. Just seeing if there is a consensus on what works and what doesn't. I have removed almost all the ASUS apps, the unlock one really helped a lot. Thanks.

I have no such problem but a co-worker was having terrible drain and he uninstalled the Asus Zenwatch manager itself and it fixed his problem. Best advice I can give is to uninstall all the apps other than the android wear app, and maybe even kill it just to see what happens, and then slowly add them back in.
For comparison, I took mine off the charger at 7am this morning so after 12 hours I'm at 55%. I dim the display but don't turn it off. I'm using a nice face from the Intellicom app and I probably get several hundred notifications over the course of the day. I'm more than happy with this device.

Problems after 5.0.1 update

I updated a couple of days ago to the android wear 5.0.1 OS and the latest android wear app...
Great work was done on the watchface API. Watchfaces are now more organized and accessible..
The biggest problem I'm facing now is the huge Battery Drain.
Watch can no longer last through the day.. I put it on at atound 6:30 in the morning.. At 2:30 PM, I'll be down to 15%.
What good is a watch if it can't last a normal day?
I think i might have jumped on the android wear wagon too soon.
Now I'm stuck with a useless device in my wrist.
Do you have a lot of 3rd party apps for the watch? I"m just guessing but it could be that these 3rd party apps aren't optimized to work with 5.0.1. Perhaps you could remove those apps and see how it goes.
And I assume that you've already done a reset?
I've made it through about 16 hours and am down to 46%. What are you doing to run it down so much? I have wrist activation turned off and ambient mode turned off. I do have Facer running with a watch face that gives weather and battery stats, but that's the only thing that would drain my battery.
I have not reset... I have two third party apps.. A compass and phone lost detection..
I'll reset and feedback here.. Good advice man thanks.
I have the same problem once i got the update even facer also updated battery life is bad again
Im having the same problem also. But after turn off BT a night, next day turn in again, the problem fix magically. Problem now is sometimes having difficulty to charge it. Need to turn off BT again then only can fully charge. Btw, didnt reset after system update.[/QUOTE]

Same thing happened to me. I usually take my watch off the cradle around 8am and get home from work around 6pm. Usually have about 60% life remaining. I'm using just the built in digital watch face. Today was my first full day on 5.0.1 update and my watch died before 3pm. I can't believe it. Hoping it's just a fluke. Think I'll go one more day and if it happens again will try a reset.

The reset did improved the battery performance for me.
I don't see any harm in resetting as this is a watch after all, so little will be lost.
However, the battery performance surely improved but it did not return the watch to the same battery performance as before the update.
I used to pick up the watch at 6:30 AM and put it on the dock at 11:30 PM with 48-50 percent left.
Now I pick it up at 6:30 and put it on the dock at 10 PM with 15 percent left. But it's still surely an improvement before the reset and after the update (I got only 5 hours before I decided to reset)
I still haven't installed ANY third party apps at all. I can only imagine how the performance will decrease if I install phone lost detection or any other Bluetooth-demanding apps.
i am finding that i'm getting slightly less battery life, but i make it through the day fine. i'm starting to wonder how much the accelerometer is killing battery. they finally integrated the option to disable "tilt to wake" and i have seen an improvement only at work where moving my hands on the keyboard. on the weekends, when i'm just wearing/walking, etc., tilt to wake makes no difference.
I got the latest 5.0.1 update on my watch seem like battery life is back! Im at 65% and its 4pm I removed it from the charger at around 5am .
My previous problem was I had the 4.4w on my watch and Facer that was on Android 5.0 . That was the reason for the bad battery life.
I've been on 5.0.1 for a couple days now and while battery life seems unchanged to me, the watch does seem to have a hard time charging to 100%. I got home from work and put it on the charger and usually it charges to 100% within an hour. Now I noticed it would get to about 85-90% and stop charging completely. The blue circle charging screen stays on but it doesn't keep charging. I left it on the charger all night and it was at 86% when I picked it up in the morning. Anyone else seeing this issue?

I have pretty much the same issue with my Moto 360, except in my case I only get to 75~78%, less than yours. I've been googling here and there about this one, but so far no luck with fixes or workarounds. I've e-mailed Motorola and, although I don't except a lot from them, hopefully they get back to me with something useful.
i think i noticed this also! hovered around 85% -ish.
i just took it off the charger, put it back and then it has not happened since. this was a couple days ago.
stock stock stock all the way homie! latest updates. nex 6 paired.
Yeah seems ok to me now too. Strange.

Is this a normal battery usage pattern

Hey people!
Just got the Moto 360, first time battery really drained pretty quickly. Searched around forums, reinstalled the watch etc. It runs on 5.1.1 (and I am aware of the confirmed bug in Android). Though I'd like to share my second day of battery. Charged it yesterday to 94% at 23:00, reinstalled the watch. Had 78% left, didn't charge untill then. See the screenshot of the battery usage. Is this kind of normal?
Many thanks for your input! I am still doubting to get a other smartwatch with kind of slightly better battery life. Was hoping for 2 days, but it doesn't cut it. I have ambient off, wrist gestures off, tilt to wake off. I don't mind the watch being off actually. Just a quick tap to see the time is fine for me. I mostly did some google searches today and a short navigation test.
Maybe I'll get the Pebble Time... who knows. This watch is so perfect... but the battery is slightly average. How are you experiences towards the battery? Dealbreaker?
it getts better with time..

even I wasn't impressed on the first week... my battery used to run down to 35% (from 100) in 10 hours...
but the backup was better as time went on... also after 5.1.1 update (and a reset after update) the battery life is great....
now I get 60-65% left when I return home....
I use to charge to 100% and switch it off before going to bed and start my day with the 100%.
65% left by evening could do another day but I have never tried!

I know people have had issues with navigation and it not turning off when they are done. What were you doing during the part when the battery drained fast (looks like 1 to 5 pm)? When I go for a run with runkeeper on (using GPS) I see drain that looks like that for the hour to two that I am out. I have found for most normal days that I can make it through a day. Active days with a run will be 20% to 30% at the end of the day. Non-active days without a run will be 30% to 50% at the end. My day is 5:30 am to 10:30 pm.
My watch has been off charger since 7:30 this am. It is now 12:52 and the battery is at 66%. I'm not sure if this is good or bad as I just got the watch a few days ago. I have disconnected the WiFi as I don't need notifications when I don't have my phone on me. Is it possible to turn certain notifications off? I like getting notifications on my phones for like twitter feeds I follow or G+ but I don't want them on my watch. I do want texts and emails to my watch though...
Thanks in advance

Yeah I've looked into this but I can't find how to do it? I was hoping there was a feature like this. How do I access this?
Oops never mind, just found it...lol

Battery life and screen settings

First time poster, long time lurker . I bought my Moto 360 about a week and a half ago, and I'm loving it!
I'm averaging about 36% battery at the end of the day with the screen always on, Dials II, wifi off, and about 78% with the same settings and the screen always on set to off. I'm just curious what settings you all are running, and what your end of day averages are. Do you leave the screen on all the time? CHEERS!
which ver you have, is it gen 1 or 2
Hello. I dont know if it is problem or bug but i think that my New moto 360 (Have it 3 days) have Verry bad battery life. With Abient screen OFF, wifi oFF, with normal using to check time sometimes and send/receive sms in frequency of 1message per hour i lost 25% of battery from 8 AM to 11 AM... battery stats show that it can DIE before 8 PM... Watch which cannot live for 12 hour even if screen is always black? With ambient on i got max 10 hours of nothing.

Gen 2
I've now switched back to ambient mode on and I'm still getting over 40% at the end of the day. I usually log 2 runs through Motobody, which I'm sure sucks a lot of juice.
The most I ever got was 12 hours out of my gen 1 moto 360 on 5.1.1 and after the 6.0.6 up it's the same no improvement on battery life. So no effect of doze in action.
I will say it does run a little smoother,not much but a little.
I usually went about 36 hours before needing to charge my watch when I was on 5.1.1 and it's looking like it will be even better on 6.0.1. I have a few apps installed but I don't use them heavily, I mostly use the watch for seeing notifications without pulling out my phone, quick replies to SMS or email messages, checking the weather, tracking my steps and setting timers or using the stopwatch for various things throughout the day. I have Ambient screen, Gestures and Wi-Fi turned off. These are the stats for my current charge:
Mh my Moto (1st gen) about 36-40h. No ambient display
How you did this... after 14 hours i have max of 30%..
With ambient i cant REACH 10 hours... wear 1.4 android 6.0.1

Honestly I didn't do anything special. Most, if not all of my settings are default settings (I think tilt to wake watch is on by default but I turned it off). I do run a custom watchface but the one I run probably uses a bit more battery than the stock watchface. In the Android Wear app what is listed as the top things using the battery?

Hahah the Android Wear app..... it only shows Screen, Watch idle and Wifi that's it.
I have everything but wifi off and I've disabled the heart rate permission for google play services fit and moto body. I use the default digital watch face.
By updating on MM my Moto(1st gen)'s battery life has reduced.. ambient ON
