So I also run an Moto X pure and love the thing. After Marshmallow dropped for my Sammy s6, I decided to switch back and try it out. I wanted to know how yall's experience has been and if your battery has been noticeably better. I switched to the Moto X Pure for the better battery life as my s6 seemed to only last me half a day of use at work. So how's it going?
I think the battery life is just as awful as it was on Lollipop. Doesn't seem to be any improvement there. That's just my opinion.
Standby battery has definately improved, screen on time has not changed that much
I had better battery life on 5.1.1 Screen on time is worse on 6.0.1
GF is running MM and complaining about battery life compared to LP. I haven't tested it or logged anything, just anecdotal from a heavy screentime and data user.
Hello guys
On my S6 Device idle takes 18% and cell standby takes 16% i think this is too much, can someone help me?
It for sure is a battery drainer... I just have the MM 6.0 on the phone and no apps whatsoever and with it just sitting there on the table with the phone doing nothing in 20 minutes it was down to 79% from being fully charged. I could go all day at work with phone in my pocket and after a 12 hour shift I would be at 93% battery on 5.1.1. I just can't leave my phone plugged in 24/7 because I might have to use it. I am going to install facebook and see what 20 minutes will do to my battery life. Sure enough it went down after install my battery was at 65% from 79% and now its at 45% with less than a half hour of facebook. so I figure its about a percent per minute ratio so my life expectancy is about 100 minutes with 6.0 on a fully charged battery.
Nice improvement for me. I never had much more that 1- 1.5 hrs SOT before getting about 15% battery. Now I see the same SOT time but have 50% battery left.
That's enough to get me through the day now.
I was jonesing to get the S7 as soon as my upgrade is do. Now I'm not so sure.
I'm feeling the same. I'd be loosing the IR blaster if I upgrade to the S7 and it's come in handy too many times to live without. My battery life has made living with the phone a more pleasant experience.

Anyone else seeing much better battery life after the 2.2 update?
Mine seems a world better
Yeh mine lasts almost 3 times longer
I'm still testing mine before commenting about this. When i give my findings i'll also put a summary of how i am using the phone, sync frequency, useage etc.
I'll let you know later tonight but so far seems about the same for me.
I think so as well, but it could be a placebo effect from the awesomeness of 2.2.
So far it seems worse. More to follow as I track this for a bit lomger, but my phone has been on for 12 hours and the battery is down to 45% with 40% of the usage attributed to Cell Standby and 37% of usage attributed to Phone Idle. With Eclaire, I would still have had 70% - 75% life left on the battery with that much standby and idle time.

mine seems to as well
just left on with a few background apps syncing I could see the battery drain but about 20-30% in 4-5 hours. Today it's still in the 90% range
How long does it take your battery to be fully loaded?
My Desire told me that the battery is at 9 % and it took maybe about 3 hours to reach 100 %.
Loading it while it was in Stand-by.
much better for me. no doubt about it.
Yep 100% to 86% in nine hours, with Eclair and this use it would probably be around 60-65%
I can't wait to get the upgrade
So, my phone's battery life is overall quite poor for the most part. some days it absolutely burns through my battery with little phone use, and other days it gets decent battery. i downloaded better battery stats, and for example. today my phone drained at about 10%/hour, but yesterday for example it drained at about 3%/hour. And today i did not even use my phone that much. Please help, as this is getting really annoying.
Here are some screenshots of my battery stats on two bad battery days

I know it looks like dolphin burned alot of battery, but that it just because it was practically the only application i opened and i used it for a couple minutes which i normally wouldn't do. then i few hours later, this was where my batter was at, and i swear i pretty much did not even touch my phone at all! http://imgur.com/NIfYnkl

Yeah I noticed something interesting as well. I have two batteries for my GS3, one is the stock battery that came with the phone and the other is a 4200 mAh battery from Hyperion Electronics. I decided to test each battery by charging each to 100% on different nights and not touching the phone overnight to see what my battery drain was
Night 1, I tested the stock battery and over night I went from 100% to 40% in a span of about 8 hours. That's a 60% decrease.
Night 2, I tested the Hyperion battery and over night I went from 100% to 98%. A total of 2% decrease in the same span of time.
Now yes I understand that the Hyperion battery is essentially 2x the battery capacity as stock, but just by simple ratios you'd think that since the stock was a 60% decrease that the Hyperion battery would be a 30% decrease, but it's not. The Hyperion battery is literally 1/30th of a drain than was the stock battery.
Something's wrong here and I wish someone could give a straight answer as to why these two batteries are demonstrating dramatically different results.
My battery stats have improved greatly by turning off location completely.
Took it off charge at 6am and with heavy usage
YouTube internet calls etc
still have 65% 16.5 hrs later.:good:
Just starting to play with battery use on my new G5. 100% charged 10 hours ago just before bed.
On a day to day basis i am a pretty light user. Calls and texts mainly.
Left phone unpluggged so it slept and 7 1/2 hours layer its at 93%.
20 mins music and email checking 19 hours in its at 88%.
Have Greenified much in the way of apps which i think improved things. Compared to the Sony i had the G5 seems to have ok battery life.
Its certainly in the useful, full day and better range.

Is yours rooted? I tend to get 5+ hours screen on time sometimes 7 which is amazing for a phone this cheap.
Same here, I have about 4-5 hours of screen on time with greenify, non-rooted. I'm a regular user, messenger, emailing, browsing, spotify etc. I'm also using Adguard which has its impact on the battery but a small price compared to having ads all over the place

Nope, no root as yet. And actually i may not depending on what ROMS become available in the future. Pretty happy with the way this is setting up and Android 7.0 stock. I think i may well leave it unrooted until after Android O hits and see where i go from there.
i'm rooted and the battery is very good, i got 7,5 hours SOT, usually i have 5-6 H of calls and 3H of SOT, 2 sims active, wifi and 4g always on, and the battery is 20-25% when i put on charging from evening to the morning. Very happy with this battery

Very good battery for price of the handset
I don´t know it´s a isolated case, but since i bought the phone, the battery is pretty bad, yesterday i tried to charge with another power adapter and my battery it´s lasting longer, anyone have this same problem?
Sometimes this happens to me.
When i keep my phone overnight(Battery Saver ON) even wid a charge of 60-70%, next day mrng, the battery is completely drained and phone is OFF. This doesnt happen daily, happens only sometimes. Any guesses why dis happens?
Hello all,
I bought a new Z play to replace my ageing phone, and I have mixed feelings about the battery life. The phone has received universal praise for its battery life, and while some of it is true in my case, I can't seem to get those high SoT numbers that everyone brags about.
It's very difficult for me to break the 6h SoT barrier, and I consider myself a light user: whatsapp, browsing, some reddit, and the occasional music (through headphones). I don't play any games, or perform heavy tasks. Also the phone is connected to WiFi 85% of the time, get decent signal, and the screen is set on auto-brightness.
Running latest version of the stock rom, and I performed factory reset + wiped cache + reset network settings countless times as per suggestions.
Attached some stats for 50% that I just took.
Is there something I'm missing?
Take it with a grain of salt, just because people brag about numbers does not mean they are real or obtainable by everyone. Battery life will vary for every user and phone. The time you have is in the acceptable range and I would not worry.
Yes, even I have never achieved the 8-9+ hrs of SOT that's I've seen in some threads. Based on my usage I get a minimum of 6.5hr SOT with the phone lasting a good 25-27 hours before I have to plug it back in.
Since the phone is new it might take a few cycles for the battery to truly show its stamina.
Those answer are definitely right. It all varies on the users. . Also please makes sure you have bluetooth and wifi scanning off. (Location> Scanning > Bluetooth & Wifi Scanning) Another factor is apps. Get rid of facebook and facebook messenger. Apps that use GCM eat battery like a range rover eats gas. I've hit 8--10 hr of SOT before. Let your phone get use to your daily activities. I believe it'll optimize itself over time.
It's normal.
I was also getting earlier 5-6 hrs SOT(When the device was new) but not I'm getting 8-9 hrs SOT.
So as your phone is new it might take few cycles for the battery to show its full stamina!
Cheers!!
Thanks for the replies and for putting my mind at ease.
Bluetooth and wifi scanning are off (forgot to mention that).
Anyway, I understand. Those insane SoT of 10+ are best case scenarios with careful use of the device. Still happy with my current capacity (anything which lasts until the next morning is great).
And yep, the phone manual (who reads those anymore), did mention the battery taking a few cycles before reaching its capacity.
Now, for a different issue. If I'd like to disable turbocharging/quickcharging my phone, would a USB C to A cable coupled with any charger (including the quickcharging ones) do the trick? Based on my understanding, the cable limits the chargining power, so any regular (quality) C to A cable should restore normal charging speeds even when using a fast charging charger. In case you're wondering why I'd like to do that, it's because the phone gets way too hot for my liking when using the Moto turbocharger and I'd like to reserve that for when necessary.
Well, guyz do have a point.
The screenshots are showing you have almost 3hrs SoT after day and a half. This is normal.
Those >10 hrs of SoT aren't achieved with careful usage. Coming from my experience, I got 10.5 hrs SoT with 10% battery left, BUT, in one day. My Moto can last up to 3 day with one charge, but in those 3 days I'll have maybe 4hrs SoT. So, in average, my Moto lasts up to 2 days with 6/7hrs SoT (I mostly use FB, Messenger, WhatsApp, Viber, YT, Instagram, stock 6.0.1). It simply depends how you use it. That big, almost 11hrs SoT, I could only achieve on weekends, coz otherwise I don't have the time to stare in my phone so much.
On that other thing, Moto does get pretty hot while charging. And you're right, the cable does limit the charging power so it will probably work.
I was one of those users getting 10h SoT early on. But I was doing that inside a 24h usage window. Your 50% stats have you stretched out to like almost 3 days off charger. Idle time vs. screen on time is ALWAYS a trade-off.
I look at battery drain in terms of drain rate at idle, and drain rate with screen on. Early on I was seeing 6% drain per hour of screen on, and 1-1.5% per hour screen off. So basically 5 hours of idle time costs you 1 hour screen on. Those were my numbers on the original MM build. My battery life has gotten worse with every software update. I have NOT done a factory reset, mostly because I don't want the hassle and I still get a day off normal use with plenty of battery to spare. But I usually see 18h off charger and 3-4h SoT in a normal day, and that leaves me at 40-50% when I plug in.
Looking at your stats, if screen on costs you 6% per hour, you have 17% worth of screen on drain. That leaves 33% idle drain over 38 hours, or sightly less than 1% per hour idle. Seems pretty darn good to me.
Your cell signal is definitely not helping your battery life. Switch to 2g when on wifi, your signal bar should be full and it'll probably help your battery life.
Enjoy the fact that this phone lets you keep BT/WiFi scanning/Facebook/etc. on without having to worry whether or not you're going to make it a full day. I use all that stuff, have multiple live widgets updating, brightness at least half way, T-Mobile Digits running, and still make it a full day. Additionally, it's great to know that if you do have to make it 2-3 days with minimal usage because you don't have a charger handy, you can. However, I'm willing to bet that 99% of users are able to charge their phone daily. To those users, I say enjoy all the features and don't worry about it.
Really depends on the screen brightness...I can hit those number with my screen brightness turned down a good bit...probably around 30 percent and auto sync off...if i have brightness anywhere above 60 percent then battery life drops a good amount...still well enough to get me through a 12 hour work day but there is a difference

How is your Z play battery doing?Mine has got worse after 1 year used to get 8hrs plus sot now barely get to 5hrs
Share Your EXperience
I still can manage to get 8 hours of SOT. You should upload some screenshots of your usage so we can take a look.
I had the same problem, from 8-10 hrs of SOT to just 3-4hrs hardly. After some time of usage my phone used to heat a lot. Luckily my device was under warranty and after lodging complaints thrice they changed the motherboard and everything was back to normal.
on the first visit they told it was a software issue and reflashed the software(7.1.1) - No Change
I lodged the complaint again and they deduced that it is a battery issue so they replaced the battery - No Change
Now they told that it's a motherboard issue so they replaced the motherboard and now the battery life is back to the "Z Play" Calibre.
Mine is still the same as it was a year ago, i still get around 1 Hr of SOT per 10% of charge, give or take depending on what im doing. I dont do any heavy work with the phone just browse, text/phone and listen to music occasionally, that could be it as to why its still giving very good backup, or maybe because im still on 6.0 could be why.
The issue is 7.1.1 probably being power hungry. I noticed battery lasted less after the initial Nougat update.
It's a Google thing. Most phones last a lot less on Nougat than they did on Marshmallow.
On 7.1.1 i get 8h max of usage with 4G on and wifi, gaming and browsing. No fb,messenger,snapchat apps.
But on MM the battery life was way better: 10-12h of SoT with same usage.
