Battery question

[Laineyc]

Thank you for the explanation. But now I'm puzzled. I've not done any of that today, and it's used that much of the battery.

My wife does not do use hers much. 73 percent at 49 hours!

Media Server is a process you'll most likely see any time your playing MP3's, listening to a podcast, watching video's/streaming Netflix, etc. If something is coming through your speakers or headphones (other than maybe a phone call on your speaker phone) then Media Server is at work.

If I'm not using my X to do any of those things, do you know why it would be using that much of my battery? Today, I was streaming ESPN radio for about 2 hours, so I understand if the media server would be on then, but yesterday I did none of those things.
Thanks.

Well if you're rooted, you can try this: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e....rrr.android.mediaserverkiller&token=YyDqufgK

Have you downloaded any new apps recently? I know Photobutton will cause Mediaserver to go nuts.

It's normal in the sense it's happening to many people, it's not normal in the sense that it should not drain that much. Recently I made a big post about it on Google Plus, and a couple moto employees actually replied that they knew about it and were working on a fix. Apparently it's from a few different things, so it should get better and better as updates come out. That being said, even with the idle drain I still get great battery life from this thing. Easily get through the day! Anyways, a fix is coming!

Does she manually sync? If I'm on WiFi and shut sync off, I swear this thing might last forever!

No sync is turned on! GPS is on and Assist is on for driving mode. It sleeps from 11 to 7. I think the point is we only have to recharge her "Smart Phone", that she wanted to be able to text with the grandkids, every four to five days.

No, not rooted. the only new app recently was a Go Launcher Christmas theme. Not a live wallpaper though.

OP here. Do you think turning off WiFi while you sleep at night will make much of a difference with this idle battery drain issue?

I think it does. I turn it off because wifi uses more juice than leaving it off does.

Does anyone know if Nova Launcher drains battery much? I used to have awesome battery life of one to two days worth, but lately I'm getting 10-12 hours at most, even with minimal use. And it drains heavily overnight. The rest of my settings are the same, so I'm thinking it must be Nova or some other app I've installed.

If you disable voice commands and localization (not sure how the setting is called in English), you should get at most 5% in 9 hours of stand by...
That's what I got from mine, while connected to an excellent signal WiFi... If I leave it on 3g, the battery consumption is a bit higher, but less than 10% per night I believe...

Mine looses around 2% every hour in the night. What's strange is my wife Atrix HD just loses 3% the whole night. We run almost the same apps and hers last 3 days and mine not even a day with little usage. I am seriously considering to return it

Interesting. I haven't tested that, yet, since I usually charge the phone over night.

I go on vacation to places with no phone signal. I used to bring the Photon and put it in airplane mode and use it as my clock. It lasted a week with extremely light use, and reliably woke me up on time every morning. Maybe this phone can't do that.

I'm about to toss my (original) razr out due to HORRIBBLE battery..best buy is offering this phone at $1, ending tonight..so nervous. Has anyone upgraded from a razr to this one? If so, notable battery difference?
Thanks, Sarah

Yes. It will be much faster and battery life improved.

I lose around 1.0-1.3% per hour overnight with all radios on and syncing.

You've got "Battery Saver" turned on which disables all background data.

Battery saver only does that from 15-0%! Now sleep mode under Asist is a different thing. Sleep times can be set by user. Chris

Yes, it automatically kicks in at 15% but I think you can also enable it manually at any percentage.

As pointed out in the other thread, you are wrong. It only works when enable on the bottom 15%. Chris
