DROID Turbo 2 Battery life

Re: Battery Life

Def should not clear cache that much.. Cache is there to make ur phone faster.. But should be cleared from time to time

This is my first full day. Very disappointed. I'm trying to figure out why it's so low. Took it off the charger at 6:15a and had to plug it in at 15% at 6:15p.

I've been told many times this is the case. When is that perfect time though? I see that the cache data goes up nearly 200mb per day on average, and it appears to have no ceiling. I admittedly have no scientific measure of the battery worsening to determine that I should be clearing it; just a loose sense that it seems to be a little worse from day to day until I clear it. But like I said, it could be in my head. Do you think it's possible my battery would improve if I didn't do it? I'll test it out, but it will likely be a negligible difference either way.

Yeah that's bad. I would give it a couple days to see if it improves. Try rebooting, or maybe clearing the cache just in case. What apps are showing as your biggest drainers? You play any games?

I use mighty text and have my polar watch connected by Bluetooth so I know it was going to take some extra juice but this is really bad. Almost worse then my note 3 I just upgraded from. No games I did use it testing out features but I expected better then this.

Well, I am going to turn off my smart notifications to my watch for now and turn Bluetooth off unless I sync my watch. I also am going to use the round weather/battery notification instead of the one I was using. I hope that helps..

Also my phone gets very warm when its charging on turbo is that normal?

Figured I'd post a bunch of screens from numerous days. I'd say this is very consistent with what I've become accustomed to in about 2 weeks with this device.

I don't believe the phone has a 3g antenna I know the turbo 1 doesn't

Yes, it absolutely does - as does the Turbo. Both phones can do EVDO (3G) data if LTE is unavailable.

What the Turbo and Turbo 2 don't have is the ability to use CDMA for calling and LTE for data at the same time, as the Droid Maxx can (and most other phones that came out before the Turbo and since the Bionic can as well.)

Not that I use that, ever, but seems weird they wouldn't support it.

I haven't been overly impressed with the Droid Turbo 2 at all. It seems like this gets slightly less battery life then last years Droid Turbo and for myself personally it doesn't seem like it handles heavy tasks such as tethering or GPS usage well at all, using more batter then the same actions on the Droid Turbo. Personally I think they really screwed up the Turbo line this year.

Having simultaneous LTE and cdma connections required two antennas. Using VoLTE for simultaneous voice and data makes the phone simpler and probably uses lower battery. Verizon decided that VoLTE was the future.

It probably makes it easier for oems to make a single model phone that works on more than just Verizon (or, said better, they don't have to make Verizon specific models anymore.)

In terms of battery life I think the Droid Maxx was better than the T1, but I'm getting better battery life on the T2 than the T1 pretty significantly. The Maxx still trumps both in my opinion. I haven't noticed any other issues in terms of handling tougher tasks. Never noticed any lag of any kind whatsoever. All 3 of the aforementioned phones breezed right through everything I ever through at them. This phone in particular is ridiculously snappy in my opinion.

Is around 13 hours off charge and about 4 hours of sot and have around 33%. Is this what everyone else is getting?

Roughly, yes. I get around 5 hours by the time I hit 30% during normal use.

I too am sort of disappointed with the phone. The good, but not as great as d.maxx battery and fairly uncomfortable one handed use have left an impression on me. I've also noticed some lack of responsiveness at times and software quality issues around the interruption sound modes. I'd really like to see doze on the dt2, but not sure I'll make it till then.

There is a app in Google play called doze which is said to work similar to the doze in marshmallow. I installed it on my turbo 2 yesterday and I believe it did help.

Mine is almost same

This thread is full of terrible numbers. My G3 with stock battery can match and often exceed what is being shown here, and that is without any real tweaking

I feel like there are some serious software issues going on with this model from Verizon.

I disagree. It's been shown that 5 hours SOT is very possible, as is more. My G3 struggles to get to 4 hours, and is usually dead by 3.5. I had to charge the G3 at work nearly every day. With the DT2 I go to bed with 30% remaining.
