I posted earlier on what I had to do to get standby battery life to something close to what I had with Jelly Bean. I un-installed everything, turned off Sync, location, etc., until I found what was killing my battery in standby. Google Cloud Manager is highly suspect. It is started whenever...

Update: Google Cloud Manager seems to be the culprit. I had not unchecked all of the account sync options except calendar, the only one I use. It seems that just taking a picture with the camera would start data going back and forth with Google and draining the battery until the process is...

I haven't had too many problems with 4.4.2, so I'm reluctant to upgrade I hear some reviews.

I've found a way to get standby battery drain to what I expect with the Moto G. First problem was "Super Task Killer". I replaced it with "Advanced Task Killer" which, with low security, allows you to see and kill every process, which you don't really want to do, since they will just start up...

Yes, Chrome was a battery killer, but Motorola Services (Notification) seems to be the problem. It must be waking up the phone and turning on the screen even though you think it is asleep. That's why 50% of your battery goes to screen in standby. My new procedure is to charge it before...

I'll post a pic later today. I think I've narrowed it down to two or three things. I did a cache clear with a full battery, only used a full percent overnight, then after 12 hours on battery, the drain cranks up to a few percent an hour. I looked at the running apps and it showed two...

I've found a fix. I enjoyed 3% overnight battery use until 4.4.2, when it would burn 1% an hour or more in standby. I have most everything disabled, but when it goes into the high standby battery burn I do a cache clear. I end up doing a cache clear every day now. Some process starts...

I seem to have low battery drain now, even with all of these self-starting apps running in the background. Guess what the culprit was. Chrome. If I started Chrome and then went back to the home screen or to another app, Chrome running in the background was using up my battery. If I...

Youtube, GMail, Media storage, and Email, none of which I use, but start on their own anyway. Maps I leave alone, it seems to be always running.

Here's what happened since yesterday morning. Slow battery drain until I got some notifications of app updates (after about an hour). Then battery drain is high for the next day and night. I was repeatedly killing tasks and stopping MotoCare and some other BS stuff that keeps turning itself...

Normal standby will uses a few percent overnight. Suddenly the battery drain steps up as if some sort of process is running in the background, and 50% of the battery would be used in standby in a day. A cache clear sets things right, but now I have to do it every day to stop the fast battery...

Sometimes if there is a weaker 3G signal, the standby will drain the battery more. I've found that killing tasks every hour or so and disabling anything you don't use really works. I disabled Youtube, but every 6 hours or so it re-starts and drains the battery. Whenever there is anything in...

Re: Overnight discharge I was getting a few percent overnight discharge until mid-Thursday, when some notifications came up. After that I was losing10% every HOUR. I killed location services and 3G, did a cache clear, nothing changed. Then I looked in APPS and saw that 3 that I had stopped a...

ATT. I don't play games or listen to music, just phone calls, text, and about 1-2 hours of web browsing a day. I have Kit Kat, and did a cache clear which really helped life. I also disabled several of the other BS apps, and run Task Killer once or twice a day to kill other apps that start...

I like Opera, which has a "road" mode that limits data usage (by reducing ads, I guess). The only problem is that it hangs a lot. I have Chrome on my Android Tablet, and it crashes all the time.
