Moto Z Play Battery Life

Re: Checked out the Pixel, went for the Play

Hi, how did you get the "show battery percentage" option on your Moto Z Play? I don't see that on mine.

Settings, battery, there is a check that says show battery percentage on status bar.

Re: Checked out the Pixel, went for the Play

Hi,
I've gone to that place in my settings, but I don't see that check box option.
Does anyone else see that?

I have the unlocked Moto Z Play version purchased directly from Best Buy. I'm using it on AT&T currently but will be switching to Metro PCS later this week. Not sure if any of that matters.

Thanks,

Re: Checked out the Pixel, went for the Play

Hi all,
yesterday was my first day with this phone and I got 10 hours of SOT! Wow! That is without the battery mod as well. Impressive.

However, today Google Services seems to be draining my battery faster than anything else and my battery life isn't lasting as long.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks.

Give it about a week to settle down and then see what it's like

Hmm interesting. My Verizon branded Play has that option.

Long press settings icon (10seconds) to get into the (hidden) advanced settings.

You can do it from there, too then.

System UI Tuner is the name of the hidden settings. And there you go:

I've tried long pressing the settings icon but it doesn't seem to work..... Any other ideas?

Do you have animations off in the Developer Options? If so, select 1x or 0.5x for the three of them and then try again.

That's amazing battery life. I think in the coming weeks if they would throw in a free mod (jbl speaker or a battery) than this phones price point would be perfect.

I got mine in black Friday through a sales rep over the phone and I got him to knock off $100 from the final price and give me the speaker, inductive charging, and regular battery mods for just the price of the speaker. If you act like your on the fence about buying it and even mention that you're leaning against it they'll throw in free stuff to seal the deal.

What is the battery life like on LTE? I would be happy with 5.5 to 6h Screen on time on LTE.

I logged into forum after years. I no longer own Samsung Fit. Don't know how to change my user name :/

You will have no issues at all. You can see my averages with this phone over the last 2.5 months.

Hi,
I am blown away by some of the SOT you are all posting. I myself got 10 hours of SOT my first day but since then my battery life has not come quite as close and I can't figure out why. Are any of you doing anything in particular to get such great battery life?

Well the first thing that I notice is that youre using the Facebook app. That's one of the biggest battery draining apps that you can have on your phone.

Also, how is your cellular signal and you appear to have some wake locks also?

 

[huungryshark]

DUAL SIM, very weak cellular signal, weak WIFI

 

[1901Madison]

Weak signal and weak WiFi will eat through battery.
