Battery life bad recently

[Xanth269]

hello all,

within the past 2 weeks, my z2 has had battery performance issues.
I use to have a fully charged battery at 10 pm before I went to sleep, wake up at 445am and at 98-96 full,
would be able to get to work ( 6 am ) and have the phone still good and have power unitl about 2-3 pm when it would hit 35%. now i wake up at 88%, by time I get to work 80% now today its 950 am and at 67%
I have tried to reboot , shut down and rebooted, havent added any apps, dont know where to start to look for an issue.

thanks,
dave

Clear cache in storage and remove unwanted apps which are using more battery. Try to charge phone without any use. Try to off mobile data and wifi if no need. Charge phone upto 90% only and use it.

When you go into Settings > Battery what does all the usage data look like? What processes or apps are using the most battery?

 

[Xanth269]

so if I click on usage I have the following
Breakdown since last full charge
Apps 8%
Mobile network standby 6%
Bluetooth 2%
System 1%
Phone Idel 1%
1hr 45m
Wi-Fi 0%

got into reboot dont see wipe chache
my options are
Reboot system no
Reboot to bootloader
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from SD card
Wipe data/factory reset
Mount / system
view recovery logs
run graphics test
power off

The Clear Cache option was removed from the Recovery menu with Oreo 8.0.

Which apps are the highest battery users?

 

[Xanth269]

so after a dead battery today on my way home.
charged and I have the following
apps 55%
system 13%
Mobile network standby 6%
bluetooth 6%
Phone Idle 2%
Wi-Fi 0%

 

[Scott337]

But which apps specifically are using that battery? You can see the list of apps on that same screen your are reading. Which apps are using battery?

Take a Screen Shot of your Battery Usage and Post it

 

[Scott337]

On the main Battery Settings screen where you are gathering the usage data from & posting here.....scroll down. There you can see all the apps using battery. Like this screenshot.

sorry dont have the AC app on the phone so
Charged phone on way home down to 48%
camera 2% Screen usage 5m
textra 2% Screen usage 8m
Google play services 2% Screen usage 21m
Chrome 2% Screen usage 1m
Facebook 2% Screen usage 3m
Moto App Launcher 1% Screen usage 21m ( what is this app??)
Shutterfly 1% Screen usage 3m
Voice calls 1% Screen usage 5m
Twitter 1%
Google 1% screen usage 19m

So why I click on Google play service and textra/
Manage Battery usage
Background Activity is swapped to the on
Battery optimizes - not optimized
all others have manage Battery usage optimized
should I turn those 2 off?

Thanks

Moto app launcher is the stock Launcher. That's your "home screen" and all the home screen functionality. That seems like normal usage. Why is your Camera using battery and screen on time? What camera do you have installed?

Also, apps that are not currently Optimized might be that way for a reason. Some apps will not work well if optimized, the they stop working when the screen has been off for a while. For example, if you wear a smart watch you don't want to optimize the Wear OS app or the phone & watch could stop communicating.

the camera is Moto Camera 2
no idea,
I also have noticed the phone is always searching location even though the settings are on.
Also, this morning unplugged phone at 100% ancd in 5 minutes was down to 88%

so verizon replaced my phone with a refurbished unit.
the battery life is back to be great
even opted for the moto mod battery pack for camping weekends.
something went wrong with the battery from what the store told me.

thanks
Dave

Good to hear that Verizon helped with a warranty replacement and things are working better.
