I am also getting significant standby drain. I have the unlocked model straight from Motorola's site. I thought disabling Wi-Fi/Bluetooth location scanning and VoLTE would solve the problem but to no avail have I found a solution.
Are you using Verizon too? @Prasetya391
Which solution did you think friend.
Because mine still continues to consume lots of battery in standby mode.

I have both the Z Play and Z2 Play. The Cell Standby battery drain is SUBSTANTIALLY higher on the Z2 Play. I ended up switching back to my Z Play. Battery would be at 77%.... Screen: 2 hours, 4%. Cell standby: 14%
On the Z Play at 80%, Cell Standby is less than 1%.

I made some test...in my opinion is a system bug:
* tried phone out of the box without user app and the problem persists
* if you put in airplane, the start wi-fi and after a couple of minutes remove airplane you temporarry fix the problem.
the bug rises when your phone need data mobile The system isn't able to fully swith off data when phone uses Wi-Fi. Maybe is related to dual sim settings. Never had this in the past.
btw, I wrote to motorola and in other forum. They are working on it is the unique answer.
Very sad about this.

Hello from the Moto thread. I have that too. Cell standby is the highest in terms of % used. But I still manage 8-8:30 hours of SOT on WiFi mostly for a day of use. I think they have messed up stats. Maybe try getting battery stats using Betterbatterystats available on the forums. Or AccuBattery. What's your drain % overnight? I recorded maximum of 7% over 9 hours with WiFi on and minimum 5% over 9 hours with WiFi and data both off. BTW you have to turn off Data when connected to WiFi manually. Also after charge when battery stats resets I recorded maximum of 4 hours before phone dropped 1% of battery being idle and minimum 3 hours before phone dropped 1% of battery being idle. So I honestly cannot say battery life is bad. 8 hours SOT on wifi on 3000mah with SD 626 is quite good in my opinion. It includes Reddit, Firefox with add-ons, play music, etc. But I do agree with you cell standby % is quite odd.

Battery Stats doesn't catch the problem. There's no wakelock related to mobile radio.
But yes, at the end the battery is life is good. I can do a day without any problems.
From my point of view, that I used to compile custom ROM, is a bug that must be solved.
I spent money for a phone with extreme battery life.

I suspect that too since my battery life is fantastic as well - despite bad "cell standby percentage". I also noticed that I never get 5 bars for LTE while other older phones never had a problem. I usually get only 1-2 bars with signal strength between 80dbm and 90dbm (which is considered to be good signal strength for LTE). Other phones shows 5 bars with the same dbm values.
I don't see any voice or, data, or speed issues. And battery life is great. I get 8 hours of SOT (on cellular only, I never connect to WiFi).
I don't think is a stats problem. 6-7% overnight is too high in my opinion.
In idle should be 2-3% overnight.
btw I get 8-8.30 hours SOT per day too. This is because the kernel/screen combination that is very good in moto phone.
Battery could be much better than this . Maybe with android 8

Yeah I think that too 3-4 % should be the idle drain over 8-9 hours. But i just shut off wifi and data and get 5% drain overnight. I have more than 160 apps installed. So I certainly cannot complain.
Yup maybe with 8 but let's get the September security update first.

I thing that it is a bug too, because the performmance of the battery is very good.
Eu acho que é um bug do sistema, porque a performance da bateria é muito boa.
checking in to report the same behavior. my z2p always has cell standby at the top of the battery charts. hopefully moto (or an enthusiast) can figure out the issue and give us a flashable fix.
Me too have the same issue. Starting getting it after August security update
Problem still exists
Big standby drain here too. Funny thing is, if you use the phone, it doesn't drain as much.

can you please explain to everyone the miracle of having medium usage when your screen and wifi are taking the same amount of battery consumption.
lmao rofl lololol
the graph on yours also says a lot, there are is not a single period where your battery drops off, this means your screen was not on for more than a few seconds at a time, you might think you can post battery stats and then lie about how you got them, but numbers and graphs don't lie, they say more than you think. the fact is the stats you posted are not even remotely good, and you lied about them to make them seem good. i'm going to try to run a cycle with similar usage to yours, i bet dollars to donuts that with 0 battery saving applications running on my phone i get 10 hours more than you at 30%, ill post it but it'll take a day or a few depending on if i can manage to leave my phone in standby that long rofl
and i'm not trying to win a contest i'm trying to actually help people who want to extend their battery life, not send them on a fools errand to install an unstable release of a rom that isn't even known for it's battery life. furthermore when i was trying to get more life out of my phone i ran into too many people that gave me horrible advice and wasted my time, i don't want to do that to other people. i've had this phone since it was released in canada, i've tried aftermarket batteries, battery saving apps, and listening to too many ppl who lie, only to learn how to properly read battery stat posts and that most if not all battery saving apps actually use more battery then they save by constantly polling the phone for information.
the real way to get more out of your battery is making sure your battery is working properly (calibrated and hasn't received any heat dmg)
running a bloat free rom and monitoring any extra apps to make sure they aren't waking up your phone when they shouldn't be or using more battery life then they should be to perform the task you got the app for. part of this is understanding which of the phones services you will never use, and removing system apps which are unneeded (using proper backup procedures and researching which apps can be safely removed)
running an efficient kernel.
using common sense when setting the multitude of customizable settings in apps and system of any android phone. things like setting email to sync realtime push or every minute, instead of every 10 minutes. (realtime push consumes about 30-50 times more battery then 10 minute sync)
using a reasonable brightness setting. The screen on this phone is amazing and is one of the features of the phone, but not only can this kill the battery fast when set too bright, the highest brightness settings are never needed unless in direct sunlight or a really bright day.
voltages / overclocking / underclocking while these settings often can help or hinder battery life, it's important to keep in mind what the phone is like stock. this cpu is fast duel core but already runs warmer than most, so although you can get more speed from overclocking i think most people don't need the speed, (talking about this phone in particular) but many do it anyways because people like to say my phone is overclocked. underclocking can be a battery saver and doesn't produce the same potential overheating risks. (an important note is that while overclocking might not do immediate damage to a cpu it can still limit the lifespan of the cpu if it is always running hotter that it should be. undervolting can help a little with battery life but some say can cause instability, i don't know enough about it to have an informed decision, but personally i don't worry too much about these. i'm running whatever the default settings are on mattmans liquidnitroV6
mobile data setting
especially for someone who doesn't use data often, or doesn't require larger amounts of data when using it, reducing this settings to 3G is a good option for saving battery, especialy if your phone is set to constantly look for an LTE connection when you don't live near an LTE network (i've heard rumors this is really bad for battery but haven't personally tested it to verify) for me, i leave my phone on gsm/cdma with cmda prefered. i never turn LTE on unless i'm in an LTE area and i want to watch streaming videos or something.
if you have a battery saver app that shows up on battery usage higher than 5%,uninstall it, personally i would say uninstall all of them, but i haven't tried all of them so i'm not going to pretend i know that every one of them is bad, but i've seen people that think a battery saving app is doing them a favor when it's pulling 10-20% of their battery life, i think i already mentioned this but it's the one that blows my mind the most.
I guess I'll post mine tonight when it dies, though my battery life seems to have gotten worse lately.
At this moment I am at 82% with it being off the charger for 3h25m. Screen-on time 26min. Some browsing & email along with some phone calls.
At that rate I should get 19hrs of normal use... BUT in order to get that I am running Green Power Premium, CPU Sleeper, Greenify and I used BuildProp Editor to make a few tweaks (see below). So, it is hardly running optimally.
This is with the CM10.1 2-21-13 nightly build and Wind 1.3 kernel. Governor = conservative, CPU set at 192/1728. I am running an eBay "2010mah" battery, but I honestly doubt it has much more capacity than the stock unit.
The build.prop tweaks I added:
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1
pm.sleep_mode=1
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=60
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180

I would agree with this statement on some of my previous devices, however this phone seems to be horribly inefficient at radio communications, especially with CM10/CM10.1. I don't know if it's my firmware or what. I've been running the latest v20 from that thread with the compilations. I get dramatic increases in battery life using GPP or JDU, because the data radio seems to suck down power like a fatty with a Big Gulp.

THIS! Jeez, this thread is meant for sharing, that's all I intended.
Just discovered a bug in my current install of CM10.1... I lost the ability to snap screenshots... weird. I need to wipe/reflash anyway so no big deal.
Before I wipe, here are my stats from today's fairly steady use:
24% remaining; 9hr 21m on battery
Top 5 battery consumers:
25% - Voice Calls
22% - Screen
13% - Chrome
10% - Android OS
8% - Wifi
Screen on time: 1hr 33m 52s
Call time: 27m
Voice calls certainly plow through battery! Any way to reduce that?

see how if i sleep my phone as much as you, i get 12 hours out of 1/5th of my battery, that is like 100 hours on standby, if i did what you did at let it drain to 30% on 7-9% screen usage it would take 2-3 days for me to get there, all i was saying if your so keen on sharing and such, you would have been honest and said it was light usage, i was gonna let mine drain to 30% like this but i can't even stand not using my phone this much.
my frustration was because you seemed to be purposely misleading people
sorry not 100 hours around 60 is more accurate <-- edit

I'm sure this question has been asked before. But I'm coming from an iPhone so Neff help with this.
As soon as I start using the phone in the morning when it's connected to WiFi. Within a second of using it or 2 minutes if we're being realistic. The phone loses 2%. Is this normal ? Coming from an iPhone where 100% would last at least 20-30 mjnutes. I can't seem to find anything draining my phone either !
I think a longer observation period (a full day / through the night) will give a better idea of how your battery performs. Use the default power settings or other batter monitoring application like GSam Battery Monitor and compare it against other users here.

Urban myths and old wives tales. Cycling the battery doesn't "improve" battery life on a Li ion battery. What you are possibly doing is making the battery meter more accurate (placement of the "high" and "low" flags that correlate voltage with "full" and "empty"). But its just a means of measurement, and this doesn't affect the battery life itself. Meaning, it doesn't "improve" battery life any more than messing with the fuel gauge in your car would increase or decrease the amount of gas in the tank.

This doesn't mean anything. The battery % is just an estimation based on battery voltage remaining versus how the phone "thinks" you are going to use it. Comparing 98% on Android versus 100% on iOS is apples to oranges. There is no standard for this, or reason to believe they are in anyway comparable.
As previously noted, 3.5 hours screen-on time with 55% drain (45% remaining) is very normal, even good. A lot of things affect battery life, not least of which is how you use your phone, and cell reception in your area. You will see a wide array of variance in the battery life people get. And since yours seems actually pretty good, I wouldn't worry about it.

Urban myths and old wives tales. Cycling the battery doesn't "improve" battery life on a Li ion battery. What you are possibly doing is making the battery meter more accurate (placement of the "high" and "low" flags that correlate voltage with "full" and "empty"). But its just a means of measurement, and this doesn't affect the battery life itself. Meaning, it doesn't "improve" battery life any more than messing with the fuel gauge in your car would increase or decrease the amount of gas in the tank.

This doesn't mean anything. The battery % is just an estimation based on battery voltage remaining versus how the phone "thinks" you are going to use it.

Thanks [emoji3] it was actually &37 percent but that's still pretty good with the battery save g options available I should be able to exceed a full day in the event of an unplanned night out !
To be fair, I feel like Apple designs their phone where their first 20% will take forever to drop but as soon as it passed that point it falls to 0. And yes I've seen it shut down at 10, turned it back on it's at 2. Where as this phone's last 15% seems to take forever to drop.

id say thats pretty good life outta the battery. the more you use it the more its gonna drain. and those getting like 6 hours of screen on time are strictly on wifi at an office or something. if your out roaming with LTE and the such your probably not going to get 6 hours...
Intense usage on 4g with lots of camera usage and uploads music and a few phone calls. So far so good! Had more than enough when I got home to leave without changing I case I needed it

I feel the M8, and my past Android phones take a disproportionate amount of time to drop the first few % as well. Maybe not as much as what you are mentioning for the iPhone (couldn't personally comment). May have to do with the saturation charge that occurs when the battery nears full (in fact, you should actually leave your phone on charge for some time after it says full).
Also, the battery meter on any phone is far from accurate. It often can't really be trusted with be within 5 or even 10%. So that would explain why you saw it "jump" down 8%.
Yeah my point was that all these phones' measure battery differently and not exactly accurate so you shouldn't compare Apple to oranges. Oh and the jump in percentages was referring to the iPhones. If anything Android tends to jump up when turned back on lol.

Hi, yestarday, I've recived LG g3, I've switched to it, because my G2 starting to have very poor battery life, like 10 hours with 3h with screen on. I've searched the forum, and I notice that most of u have 5, 6 hours screen with 30 h or more of use, but for me it will be the same as on g2, maaaaby a little bit better, I've restored all my apps, yes, but non of the battery monitor apps showing that some app is using high percentage of battery, let me show some screen shots:

Some of them can ba inaccurate, because I've just rebooted my phone, but u see that my phone was on 12 hours (with about 7, 8 hours at night doing nothing and switching to 2G only) I had 2h and 35m of screen, and I didn't play any games, just browsing internet, and I have 46 percent left...
What could causing this poor battery life? It can be some app, that is not showing in battery monitor as a draining one? Or what could be the issue?
You need to root your device and install Better Battery Stats, Xposed Framework, and Wakelock Terminator. Then use bbs to determine which Wakelocks you need to terminate to save battery.
Using this method got my battery drain down to about 1% per 6h of screen off time.
I had to terminate 2 wakelocks to fix my battery life: NlpCollectorWakeLock in Google Play Services, and WifiOffDelayIfNotUsed in Android System.
Nyorbee, I might be wrong, because I own g3 only for a few days, but your battery life looks to be pretty normal to me.
The phone drains really slowly in standby, but 4 hours screen on time during a regular day looks to be quite ok.
Web browsing is particularly taxing on the battery, because of the high res display.
Do not expect the same battery as on G2, from my experience it is lower at least by 1/3 (I upgraded from G2 too).

Yeah, we will definitely need more than 10 minutes of data. You don't need to go from 100 to 0 though. Just get some data from a few hours of screen off time and show me both the kernel wakelock and partial wakelock info.
Edit: The screen off time doesn't have to be all at once. However, the easiest way I found to pinpoint my battery drain was to charge the phone fully just before bed, and unplug it overnight.
My sensor usage also strikes me as very high. Is there anyway to figure out what sensors are keeping the phone awake so much of the time?
I need to see your partial wakelock info as well. Those sensor readings alone don't tell me much. One thing to keep in mind: as you reduce the usage of pointless activities, the usage percentiges for other activities like sensors will rise, but this doesn't mean they are consuming more battery.
I also need to know how much of that time the screen was on/off. If your battery drained 70% in 10 hours of screen off time, it wasn't just your sensors, i can assure you.
You should also consider whether your battery is defective. If you get a good amount of screen on time with a full charge, the battery is probably OK. But if you can drain a full charge in an hour or two of heavy use, you might need to replace your battery.
Good luck!
Also try Wakelock Detector / Greenify - an amazing battery combo

Thanks for the response. Here are the partial wakelocks, captured at the same time. Unfortunately, I didn't capture the "Others" page, but screen on time was about 3 hours. Wake time was considerably higher than screen on time. I've rebooted the phone, in case something weird was going on. I see what these numbers look like tomorrow. If they still seem odd, I'll repost with all the relevant data.
Ok, here are my stats over night:

I've lost 4 percent of the battery doing nothing over maby 8 hours.
But the real problem is when screen is on, than I'm loosing 1 percent every one or two minutes. I'm out of juice in 10 to 12 hours with less than 4 houurs of screen. I'll show u my stats after full battery cycle. And I have two batteries, it's the same, so I guess this is not battery fault...
If your big drain is coming from screen on time, I suggest using gsam battery monitor to determine what's eating the battery. It's easier to read, and I find the stats a bit more relevant for screen on drain.
4% loss over 8 hours of screen off time doesn't seem bad at all, honestly. Its probably improvable, but not necessarily worth the effort.
What are you doing during your screen on time, and what screen brightness? I can burn a full charge in about 3-4 hours of Netflix at full brightness and full volume, but I get considerably more time if I'm browsing the web at minimum brightness.
Edit: I'd you don't use it, i highly suggest disabling or uninstalling google search. It's a prime culprit for wasting battery. I'm not entirely sure, but this might break google now, if you use that. Of course, google now is also a big battery waster.
Are you on WiFi most of the day? I'm just curious, is this a residential AP or are you on a corporate network? We recently upgraded our school to a Meru wireless network, and since then my battery will go from 100 > 50 in 8 hours, versus 100 > 80+ when at home, and at home I use it even more.
When I use BBS at work, the awake time is MUCH higher, and I also have very high sensor use.
This is mine with wireless on and sync on. Rooted and Unbounced. Removed some programs access to internet.
But when i use it it drains like normal.

I'm experience a huge draining in battery life just last few days. It was perfectly fine but not anymore. I have tried to factory reset with no luck. I have greenify at work.... I don't know how to read from better batt stats data so I was hoping someone here would be so nice to help me with that.
Here's the log file:
http://goo.gl/xD5HE0
I'm not trying to steel your thread. But since we have the same problem we are search for similar solution....
Is it safe to disabling the services of google? My phone has v10c rom and can at most 3h of screentime.
If you disable Google Play Services you won't be able to use the play store or some other google apps. However, you can use Wakelock Terminator to prevent it from draining your battery.
I have frequently read that some wireless networks can cause more drain than others. If this is what's draining your battery I'm afraid I don't know of any good solution. If you have a good data connection and/or unlimited data, you may get better battery life using that. Have you tried disabling mobile data entirely when you're in Wi-Fi range? I have very limited mobile data, so I keep it off unless I have a specific need for it. I do think this has improved my battery a bit.
Again, i suggest getting gsam battery monitor. It's free on the play store, and offers an easier display of what's eating your battery compared to BBS.
Edit: don't get discouraged if you have some trouble getting your battery life up to spec. It took me three weeks of googling and tweaking to get mine where I'm happy with it.

It seems like I'll get 4-6 hours of SOT with two sim cards and a bluetooth smartwatch constantly connected. I've been more concerned with measuring standby time than SOT though. Doing a pure standby test, the phone drains just under 1% per hour as far as I can tell... about 6% in 7 hours.
Having left the phone alone, charged to 100%, I'm at 91% after 12 hours, with 5 minutes of SOT. This is on latest EU rom, which is based off of the MIUI 9 developer version released on Sept 22.
Hopefully standby improves with future updates, but generally I've found with two SIMs, standby times just can't be very good on any phone.

After doing my best to drain this beast, I ran the phone 6 hours as a hotspot, along with constant fiddling with the phone because the device is so sweet. Once I got home, I fired up my Slingbox app, and set the brightness to max, and let the phone stream 1080p via 4G until the device died, ~4 hours later.
I push my devices to the limit daily, and have held onto a s6 edge + for so long because the battery recharges so fast, and lasts quite long. However, I still use a Zerolemon case with a 8500mAh battery, because i tether so much. I've also gone through the Pixel XL 128, Xperia Z5 Premium, s8+, and was unimpressed by the battery life when tethering, and playing slingbox.
The Mi Mix 2 is hands down my new favorite phone. I installed playstore, and used the Package disabler app that was only samsung exclusive, to take admin control, and remove the chinese apps. The only thing I am left trying to figure out, is getting sam pay to work from my Gear s3.
Cheers.

Excellent. Thanks for the information. I was considering the Mate 9 until I saw the prices and the leaked pics. But it's the Mix2 I've always wanted with the smaller battery being the only question mark. Looks like battery life won't be a problem at all.
Battery life gets closer to the original mix than I expected, Snapdragon 835 and reduced screen size do help compensate more for the battery reduction than I thought it would. I'm on wifi at home but I'm always tinkering with the phone, browsing, reading books, etc etc. I plug it in every day but since I initially charged it to full, I haven't gotten the battery down to 50%. Even if I forget to plug it in after I come home, the phone "rewards" you for leaving it alone. I'm sure as I use more features and apps (shopping for a smartwatch) I'll drain it quicker. Not allowed to use phone at work, I can only do quick tasks for a few seconds at a time. Snapdragon 835's strength seems to be power usage while idling. Again, as I add more apps and features and on days when I'm bombarded by notifications, it will drain faster. I was out of touch with smartphone progress for the past 3 years, I appreciate quick charging more than I expected. I just got up during typing this post to check on the phone. I haven't even moved the charger to the bedroom and that's a good sign. I woke up, phone was at 55%, plugged it in, made coffee, browsed the internet, started posting here and battery is back to 97%.

That's impressive. I'm going to be ordering in the next few weeks. I'm leaning towards the 64gb model as I never use above 25gb on my phones thanks to Google Photos.
I'm really impressed with the Mix 2. MIUI 9 Beta. Battery optimization as well as MIUI Optimization turned off as well no battery saver mode used.
Take a look at the remaining percentage compared to screen on time.
Lots of reading news, YouTube, playing music by streaming, taking photos. This charge primarily on wifi, 90 minutes 4G.
Standby is also very very good indeed. Went to bed last night with 43 procent left. After 7 hours down to 39.

As written in the my first post it's the MIUI 9 Beta.
And it looks like you are right. There is around 10% difference after all.

Around 50 minutes/10%is pretty solid though.
Battery seems to be getting much much better as I'm using the phone, phone was on 100% at half 6 this morning and now it's 8 at night with 37% that's with mobile data on all day no WiFi until I took the screenshot I had it turned on

There is 5g in the area but I'm not on a contract deal, I'm "pay as you go" so I can only get 4g, I don't really need 5g I get over 200mbs , apparently lol, when I run speed test.
I have had the phone for a week now and I must say battery life has been great for me, I have an average usage with 50% WiFI and 50% 4G LTE, i have been getting 5-7 hours of SoT on a daily basis. The variance between 5-7 is normal as it adjusts on total battery time. On days where i dont use the screen much, the battery extends to the next day as the screen has been off majority of the time. But on days where i reach 7h of SoT, the battery dies out by the time i sleep.

Mines similar with 5G enabled (and a contract sim which uses it), so not sure why you brought 5G into the equation. 9% for the last 24 hours, was 7% yesterday.
5g drains my battery quicker. hence why I disabled it.
Anyone know what's idle drain with AOD on ?
My batt life seems to be getting better with use as well.
Still on November .36, rooted, Despair Kernel, 5G active, WiFi scanning off, AOD on, not much tweaked yet.
Got this SOT the end of November. I'm happy and love my P6P!
Big test for mine yesterday coming back from Scotland. Off charge at 7am and then an 8 hour coach ride with mixed no signal, 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G coverage, i watched a 2 hour film, read flipboard, used Facebook, used twitter, sent messages via Signal, sent messages via Google Messages, listened to some music using Poweramp, got home posted loads of photos on social media (finally back on Wi-Fi) and at 9pm last night i had 40% left and had to put it on charge for the December update.
Mine is fully stock, Wi-Fi left on, Bluetooth is on for Fitbit connectivity and Covid tracing, NFC is on, AOD off.
The longest SoT I've had was just yesterday, with close to 13hrs. I was mainly on wifi doing a bunch of web surfing and chat.
I know there's been some questions of, who uses their phone to browse websites all day, and I can be one of those people lol.
Other times my battery usage varies greatly depending on how much I charge and use it. I was able to get around 8.5hrs just from an 85% charge with mixed usage of wifi and cellular.

How on earth do you get 337mah drain with screen on. are you using it on 0 brightness. mine drains 700mah easily with screen on. i also get abysmal deep sleep percentage around the 50% deep sleep. Worst battery on a phone ive ever owned

That's about what I get too, 300 - 400 mAh. Also overnight I get at least 93% deep sleep if not more. Something is keeping your phone awake while you are doing nothing so I don't believe it's a bad phone or battery. It's a bad app or misconfiguration. You need to find what that is and correct it.

Yes i believe it is something to do with an app but cant seem to narrow it down to which one. On airplane mode it instantly goes to deep sleep. Deep sleep is good overnight. At around 91 percent but during the day when im checking my phone every 10-15mins i get 40-50percent deep sleep. Brightness is at 70 percent usually and screen on around 600-700mah. No 5g enabled on wifi.

Same how are people's drain with the phone so low. I phone has similar deep sleep too. I don't get how people are getting 6-8 SOT. Even updating to the December didn't seem to help munch.

I use GSam Battery monitor to see which apps are high drainage, and then if necessary I kill those specific apps since they're probably stuck running in the background somehow.

6hrs SoT isn't much depending on how much battery you have. You have a pretty high drainage with the screen off of about 2% idle drain an hour. Ideally it should be about 0.5 - 0.7% hr. Anything higher will cause your battery to drop pretty fast, which is likely the result of some app or unoptimized battery usage in the background. I would do some digging to see what's causing this and it should improve your overall usage.
