Happy w my battery

[russel5150]

This seems pretty good to me. I never expect 48 hours.. But I do expect a long days use out of it. I'm happy w it.
I don't use power saver and i use the phone the way I want or need at the time.. Screen is set on auto brightness.. Wasn't on WiFi today. Bluetooth stays on because I'm in and out of my car so much

This is about what I see with regular usage. I think that's a reasonable goal: just go for using the phone how you want, when you want, instead of a true 48 hour duration. I've been happy with the lack of worry, but find that I still need to charge nightly because I'm in the 30's or 40's by the end of the day.

Agreed. I wanted 48 hrs so I knew I could make it through a full day, not matter how much abuse I threw at the phone. I am going to charge nightly, regardless of usage.

You can turn it on in the settings>battery option is at the top. I don't know what it does to save battery I tuned it on and see no difference when using the phone I don't know what if any battery life it is saving. I downloaded snapdragon guru to see what that does for the battery life. It takes 3 days of monitoring your usage before it activates so I will have a good reference if it is saving battery life.

I dug up some info on battery saver since I was also curious. What I found was for the moto X, but I'm sure it was implemented the same way on the Maxx.

Battery saver info ( from http://www.techradar.com/us/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/moto-x-1170399/review/2 ):

"If you enable it, it comes in when you drop to 15 percent charge. It disables background data use, meaning less push notifications for your email and social networks, and also institutes aggressive screen dimming and time outs.

It does great work milking that last bit of charge for you. With battery saver enabled at fifteen percent, we got over two hours of battery life before reaching one percent. This was with a mix of web browsing, photo snapping, text messaging, and some idle stand by time."

Cool. That's weird that you have the kernal wake lock and a system wake lock separate from the android system listed in my list? I don't memorize all the different system processes so maybe that's normal.

You have them separated, too. It's just that your system wakelock is way down your list. I had several hours of calls today. Might be why my system wakelock is so far up the list today?

Possibly. I had minimal phone calls. I'll try to use it more on the next charge and see what changes.

This is what better battery stats shows me. Here it looks like Google processes showing up after the SMS backup, which consumes a disappointing amount of battery.

Now that I'm starting to settle into normal usage patterns, I find that I don't have to really worry about it. On work days, my car dock tops me off on the way to work and gets me close on the way home. When I'm home and awake I place it on a Qi charger which tops it off before bed. At night it is not on the charger, it just sits on the table. My lowest point today was 70%, and that was at the end of the work day, before the drive home. The drive home got me back to 94%, and Qi did the rest. Right now, it's not even on the Qi charger, it is in front of me with 99% charge.

So, I don't really think about it other than putting it on the Qi charger or not. A big change from the "Oh my God, the battery is less than 90%, it'll die any second" Droid RAZR.

Is it bad to just keep charging it at 60%-70%? At my current usage rates, by the end of the day that is where I am at. I am now at almost 2 1/2 days off the charger.

No in the long run that will actually make your battery and your phone last longer.

A phone typically has 500 charging cycles. I have heard larger numbers but we will stick with the minimum for the sake of not over stating it. This is true for any phone that uses Lithium-Ion batteries. A full charge cycle is from 0% - 100%. A partial charge cycle is anywhere in between this. So if you drain the phone down to 0% and charge it to 100% that's one cycle. If you charge from 50% to 100% that's half of a cycle. This would in turn change your amount of cycles from 500 to 1000 because you did not have to fully charge the device.
