I swear I still can't figure out what the battery life on this thing is like. Between forums and reviews I can't figure out if it's just standard high end Android battery life or something more (or less). Granted if it got the same battery life as my GS3 with always on features I'd be somewhat impressed, but I want more obviously.

I guess since everyone uses the phone differtly, and descrbes heavy usage differently. It's difficult to pin down how good/bad battery life is.

Does anyone have tons of apps and can't turn their phone off to save their life? Lol. Show me your screen time and then I'll know.

My battery times are with active notifications on as well as the always listening. Which by the way all of the features including the quick access camera have come in handy.

Here was my first full cycle on stock, no root:

This is my moto x with no Wi-Fi. LTE on the whole time. I'm coming from a note 2. I'm good so far.

I just picked up the Moto X and switched to AT&T on Saturday and I love it! Awesome phone, great to use and interact with. So far, my battery has been giving me about 26-27 hours on a full charge. I say that is pretty good, I do use Wi-Fi at home and the GPS for the Moto Assist for Driving.

Thanks for the added info! So far I'm still saving up for it. Hopefully this phone is meets my expectations especially after coming from the GS3.

Everything on, GPS, active notifications, always listening, WiFi, data, and I traveled some. I set the phone up so it was downloading a ton, including 1g movies. I rocked it all day and I am sure it will get better as the battery cycles. Coming from a note 2 I am happy with it.

This phone handily beats the S3.

I went from S3 to S4 to Moto X.

In consistent usage patterns, the S3 would be about dead at the end of my day. The S4 and Moto X have at least 20% left.

That sounds great. Thank you for the info. At least I know it's a step up battery-wise. Would you say, for your usage, it matches or exceeds the S4 in battery life?

It's very close. I would say:
S4 stock > moto x > S4 w/AOKP >> S3

To me, even showing screen time and time off charger is still limited, since it really depends on your signal strength. My train ride to/from work is about 45 mins of very spotty coverage. I lose a lot of battery there. I think yesterday, I went 18hrs + about 2.5hrs screen time and had about 20% left.

That's true. I prefer screen on time (no root and on lte or 4G) though because I think it depicts at least the potential of the phone. Even though, obviously, in some areas battery life is going to suck. So far I'm all about this phone. It'll be buying it outright so I'm trying to be very cautious.

Hmm, not sure about this battery life. Why is my android os so high?

 

[dcastillo]

I guessing your screen on time is pretty low....
(what is it?)

Less than 2 hours right now. Battery at 30% after I went for a run. 13h 43m on battery.

How were the tacos?

Bwah ha ha ha ha

Today I was off work and the battery got me through the day, but not the night. Not a big deal as I can charge in the car but second day's results are in...

Unfortunately it's a bit of a known issue. Lots of people have higher than expected android OS.
