1st day with MOTO X, worried about battery

Here are some screenshots:

If you've been off-charger and you're down to 74% that means that you have approximately another 24 hours before your battery drops to 0%. That looks pretty good to me!

That's similar to what I get. Losing 26% in 8 hours is pretty good. That will last an entire day.

He's not using it much. I hit 25 hours the other day with 2% battery left and 3 hours screen on time. Looking at the screen shots, something is keeping the phone awake. If your screen is off, your device should be in deep sleep (mostly).

He has a rogue app somewhere that is waking the device when the screen is off. Chris

I'd like to find out what it is. With minimal use I'm hoping to not have to charge phone every day.

Try the intelli3g app from play store. Its helping me reduce battery use by a ton.

I don't think that's going to happen. Motorola only rates the battery as good for 24 hours with "mixed usage." Have you had a smartphone before? Pretty much the only phone that's going to let you get away with not charging every day is the Droid Maxx (or its other Maxx predecessors).

It's not that hard to plug a phone into an outlet while you're sleeping every night. I don't know why anybody needs their battery to last more than one day comfortably.

Download "Greenify" from the store. You no longer need root to hibernate apps, it's just a little more time consuming. You either have a rogue app or its location services going nuts. Follow those steps in the other thread and you should be fine. Even with minimal use you probably aren't going to get more than a day and a half unless you're literally talking about 10 minutes of screen on time a day.

Yes I've had a smartphone since 2007 with the 1st iPhone. My iPhone 4 and 5 I had to charge every other day while using as much as I do the X. I also had the X for a week in September and had better life than I do now. I followed Kwkslvr's battery life guide and it seems to be improving. I still think I have something robbing battery though.

Still not worried about the battery.

Just an FYI, NEVER judge battery on the first day, or even the first week of use.

Reason is simple:
You havent fully toyed with the phone until the end of the first week. Your use is completely exaggerated because of you tinkering with your new phone and for that, battery life takes a dive. Also, you havent tweaked your settings to fit your use and lifestyle and therefore battery life is going to suffer. Give it a week then see where youre at
