I hear ya, Joby. This was a frustrating thing to go through once, I can imagine your frustration twice. Sorry to hear that. Motorola is undoubtedly aware of the *issue*, but it sounds like they're not aware of a *solution*. Phones today can be argued to be one of the most complex and difficult...

I love my DT2. 3 to 4 days on a charge. Mmmmmmm.

Oh gawd. YES. That battery usage is... just... not... right for a 3750 mAh battery. Even for heavy use. This is what I'm getting after exchanging my phone: 1 full day easy, 2 days typical for *heavy* use. Lots of screen on time using Google Navigation with live GPS, audio player, text, calls...

Very interesting. When Moto said they'd replace my phone, my first thought was that I might get a replacement phone that had the same problem. I asked the support person if I was guaranteed to get a known good sample in good working order, and, of course, he replied affirmatively... but the...

You guys may not like this, but "Level 2" support at Motorola essentially culminates in the factory reset; if that doesn't fix the problem, then there is typically no further remote assistance to be done. You have to send your phone to Moto for them to fix. The good news is that Moto offers two...

And btw, you didn't bother reading what anybody had to say on the battery issue before posting... so don't get pissy if someone misses any of your previous comments.

So I stopped into Verizon and they weren't able to do much for me. No settings seemed askew and no internal memo's or mention of battery drains on their forums were found. The next step is to call the Android help line at Motorola (1-800-734-5870)... which I did. After getting Motorola on the...

Check out this thread that was started over a year ago. Users with myriad devices on different carriers are describing and experiencing exactly what we're going through. Funny thing... people were reporting this problem when Lollipop was pushed onto Kitkat phones... and now with Marshmellow...

Agreed; if Greenify kicks in sooner, users are sure to see some benefit.

Marshmellow supposedly does what Greenify does; why duplicate the effort. (mod note : keep it civil)

Ditto on buying another brand phone... and going to a different network too. My battery is back to misbehaving and I'm nearly fed up with it. I can't tell if the problem is with Motorola or Verizon though. I leave for work in the morning with 100% charge. My phone stays in my pocket doing...

HOWEVER... I found a procedure that's working for me. My phone is behaving, at least for the moment, and battery usage seems to be normal again. This is what I did. Backing up for a quick minute. When the initial 6.0 update was installed, I went through the installation prompts and chose a...

This is so odd. Now screen usage is being reported as the biggest battery drain... and I believe it because the front of the phone stays warm. What makes this odd is that the screen is off. Blank. Dark. No light. How can the screen drain the battery when it is not displaying anything? I tried...

As far as defining "bad"... my battery will barely make it through ONE DAY when I was hardly using it. Before the MM update I'd get FOUR DAYS on a charge when I wasn't hardly using the phone.

The Marshmellow update is definitely causing many phones to turn on wireless transmitters, and leaving them on. For me it's cell signal and WiFi. If I used Bluetooth I would not be surprised if that was on for me too. What's odd is that there does not appear to be any particular app that's using...
