Moto X (2014) :: High Battery Usage Whilst In Airplane Mode?
Jan 4, 2015
I've had my Moto X for a couple of weeks and have noticed that it seems to drain battery strangely quickly when in Airplane mode and with the screen turned off. I leave my phone in this state while at work.
This morning, I put my phone away for over 3.5 hours in this state. After this 3.5 hours with screen off and airplane mode on, the battery had drained from 100% to 92%. The only 2 entries in the battery use screen were Phone Idle (1%) and Google Services (1% with a couple minutes of GPS and CPU usage which probably accounts for the amount of time it took for me to walk from my car to the office). See attached screenshots for details.
It seems like 8% of battery use over 3.5 hours in airplane mode with almost 0 screen on time is kind of excessive, particularly as no app or service reports using much battery use at all. How to fix or diagnose this? I've used wakelock detecting apps in the past but they've been kind of neutered since Kit Kat and I don't want to root my X to get proper stats.

Last night i put my phone on the charger and when I unplugged it in the morning the battery symbol showed 100% but still showed the charging symbol and stated it was charging. When I tapped on the battery symbol is had the graph but stated "battery usage data isn't available". I shut down/re-started and it still shows "battery usage data isn't available". How can I get things back to normal.

I went into Airplane Mode today using the widget. It turned off my Wifi (but not GPS?) and went into Airplane Mode just fine. Then when using the widget to turn Airplane Mode off I see my Wifi turn back on, but the Airplane Mode isn't removed. The only way I can find to actually take the phone out of Airplane mode is to hold the power button and toggle it from the silent/airplane/power popup.

I am using a Moto X 2nd Gen device running Lollipop on Verizon Wireless. If I have my volume for ringer/notifications set to vibrate and then I access Moto Voice (e.g OK Moto X, what is the weather?) for some reason the volume on ringer/notifications is increased to close to 70% of max. I can actually "see" it happen if I press the volume rocker down to vibrate and then initiate a Moto Voice command. (I am talking about the window that shows up at the top of the phone when you change volumes - I can see it change from vibrate to 70% of max).

Chrome, Maps or Gmail, or anything else for that matter will not rotate to landscape mode. Auto-rotation is on. I was at a soccer game did some running around and went to use maps on my phone on the way home and apps were stuck in landscape. No big deal for the Maps app. When I got home all apps were opening in landscape. I powered off the phone and back on and now they will not go to landscape. Does my phone need to be re-calibrated?Phone is brand new. I'm running Lollipop since day one.

Just had my new m9, with 6.0. I noticed my cell standby in my battery usage list is over 30% most of the time. What can you say about it? Is it normal?

When "Play Music over Bluetooth" is selected in "Drive Mode" in Moto Assist, it no longer auto-starts music.

Around like noon today my phone started chewing through my battery. It is truly unbelievable. Goes down a percentage point every few minutes. I restarted, closed out of apps, made sure all the battery sucking stuff was off.

I have the 2014 Moto X, and it drains tons of battery while on standby. I'll go to bed with it at 90% and wake up 8 hours later it will be 40%.

How does the Moto X handle the battery while in standby / inactive mode?
I attached a picture showing my current phone, the iPhone 5, and as you can see, I don't use my phone very often - and when I do, it's mostly for gaming.
My current battery lasts for more than 2 days (although I just used it for 2 hours) and I'd like to know if the Moto X can handle that much. I have heard that the Moto X battery can't stand for a full day - even if you use it very little, is that true?

What happened is that I kept my Moto X gen 1 phone for charging at 11 pm in the night and was supposed to remove it after an hour or so, since i anticipated that it will be fully charged by then. However, i fell asleep and then woke up at 6. As a result, my phone got OVERCHARGED for nearly 6 hours straight. And this has happened TWICE.
Though Motorola claims that the battery is "over-charge proof", i think there is a possibility that there must have been some little damage to it, since this occurred twice.

Battery drain months ago prior to an OS update, but I only purchased my M9 two months ago, and the battery drain has been shocking.I haven't rooted the phone, or done anything to it. I turned off Google Now. I keep screen brightness on relatively low. I turned off notifications for all apps, including really active ones like Facebook and Instagram. I keep GPS off unless I need it. No Bluetooth, nothing. And yet my battery just drains and drains.
Last Sunday I kept my phone on airplane mode for most of the day (I did turn the mode off a few times to check texts but then turned back on again). My battery kept draining throughout the day, I started the day at 100%, and by 6pm it was at 20% battery. ON AIRPLANE MODE! I can't upload a screenshot right now but battery usage stats say Google Services used 38% of my battery during the day - what is this?! I turn off most things so that Google can't use my phone or notify me of anything, and yet it uses my battery so badly.
It's making me hate my phone - my old Nexus 5 and then OnePlus One was never this bad. I'm actually jealous of my iPhone friends who can use their phone for a day and a half before charge runs out!!

On my Moto X (2014) my stock battery info, under "cell standby", it is reporting time without signal up to 18%, even though I know that it isn't searching for a signal, or without a good signal. Don't know if it really affects the battery life or not, but it's definitely wrong.

I leave my WiFi constantly turned on on my phone. I use WiFi at home and work so it will automatically connect when I'm in those 2 places, but anywhere else it isn't connected. Is it still using battery even if its not connected? Does it search for a connection when its not connected, sort of like the radios searching for a cellular signal?

"Google Services" is constantly my biggest battery drain. It is consistently 2x more than the next biggest power hungry app "Google Search". These two apps together account for 40% OF MY BATTERY LIFE LOST. I did a factory reset with no impact. The battery screenshots I see here from others never seem to reflect what I am seeing - the screen is always the biggest drain, which I would expect.
My X sees light to moderate use with 2 SOT usually.

I'm noticing some battery drain during the night on my nexus 5 even when my phone is in airplane mode.. I charged it to 100 then took it off the charger and turned airplane mode on. When I woke up it was at 95 percent.. I know it's not a huge chunk of battery but isn't that still bad for it being in airplane which is supposed to turn off all the radios? I could of swore when I did this last week it only dropped one percent, why the sudden jump? And Google play services was the top thing draining battery according to my phone stat settings..

I notice that Circle Battery Widget no longer breaks down what is using the battery. I know the battery portion of "settings" shows you...but I never used the settings part after Circle Battery came on the scene

Last night I put my galaxy 6s into battery save mode, charged it to 99% and put it on the nightstand. This morning (8 hours later) my phone is at 48% charge. Do I have a bad battery or is there a setting or application on that is draining the battery? Battery shows 46% battery usage by cell phone.

I've had my Z3+ for a week now and Clean Master App has now three times warned me of "little RAM left". I had the Z3 for a little over 4 months and never got this message. The phone works OK, it does not slow down or anything. I may have had 5-6 apps open (Phone, Messages, Chrome, Mail, Facebook, Messenger)Â - nothing unusual, when i got the messages. Clean Master then proceeds to clean a couple of hundred MB (not much).

Just updated two days ago and my Airplane Mode icon will take me to the settings screen where I have to tap on Airplane Mode again which turns it into a two step process and makes the icon pointless. The other thing is that the screen is not dimming like it did in Power Saver mode. I keep my screen about 1/3 because indoors it's all I need and it would drop it about 10% before I updated to 4.3. Now it keeps it at the 1/3 default no matter what. I can't really say whether it's having a dramatic effect on battery life, but it would be nice to get that extra 5% in times of need.

I am currently with Vodafone in the uk and about 6 months ago I recieved a text message saying I was close to my data limit of 750mb and that they would provide me with an extra 250mb charged at £5 per shot. I downloaded a data usage app to monitor my usage and it was climbing at a ludicrous rate. As imaginable when I contacted Vodafone to inform them of the issue they didn't want to know and were not the slightest bit interested in the problem at all. I decided to return the phone to apple who after literally 5 minutes of using the phone said that there was defiantly and issue with the handset and that due to it still being under warrenty they would replace it free of charge.
Now this problem seems to have reoccurred where as I very nearly went over my limit last month I put this down to playing draw something through 3G and susiquently deleted the app. I decided to reset my data usage on the iPhone I have this morning already used 20mb + in just under an hour. It isn't as through it climbs when not being used it just seems to use loads or recieved data when I'm surfing the net.

For soke reason, ony galaxy s6, there is a constant high CPU usage, out of 2.5gb that's free I usually have about 600mb to play with, meaning the phone becomes sluggish at times.

Somehow my memory usage is so high the dang "processing" clock shows up every few seconds, literally.This happens after a few hours of browsing, and I should point that the whole time what I did was merely browsing, I didn't do anything else.
These are the applications running while I'm browsing:
1. Browser (well, duh)
2. Messages
3. Phone
4. Home screen
5. BBM
6. SMS Filter
According to MemoryUp Personal, the memory usage goes as high as 50%, that's around 100 MB memory consumed, for reading humor articles. I can only imagine what editing documents will do, maybe a new high score at 200 MB? No, seriously, does browsing actually use that much memory? Maybe I should also say that the memory consumption is gradual, from 39%, and then 40, then 41, 42, 43 all the way up to 52%, the current high score, when I decided 52% for a native browser is a true memory spending spree and pulled the battery. Before any humor reading, though, the usage is only around 10%, so 30% is already high enough, let alone 50.Just what is happening to my blackberry? EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED. Turns out I was the dumb newb ranting about unnecessary things. As the Browser is used, it accumulates stuff in RAM, which can only be cleared by shutting it down, which is impossible due to it's nature except with battery pull. Thus the only way to go is to use another browser or use the native one sparingly, or pull the battery every few hours.

I've been noticing recently that my Atrix generally only has about 20MB of free memory out of the 800MB or so of system memory. I thought Android was meant to manage the memory effectively but this appears not to the the case. One symptom of this is that it causes the webtop to regularly complain of lack of memory and results in Firefox automatically closing itself.

I am using an iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1.1 and had no problem with it so far, but couple days ago I installed the smartsync app (syncs my contacts with facebook) and since then all of the apps are keep crashing because of the wired memory goes up really high, crashes the phone and do it again. Even if there is no app open, the wired memory goes up really high and crashed the phone and then do it again. So the battery dies really fast, and you cannot really use any app! I deleted the smartsync, I did a restore and a back-up

Over the past few days I've run into something new. I've gotten a number of high cpu usge notifications in the notification bar, but when I open up the task manager to see what is running amuck, the total displayed cpu usage looks small. how to track down the culprit? No new apps, but lots of updates recently, and I really don't want to start randomly deleting apps till I find the one causing this (I've got about 100 apps installed, of which I use probably 10-15 on a daily basis) As a side note my extended battery lost 50% of it's power while plugged into a computer via usb in 3 hours... That has never happened, the computer usb charger has always been more than enough to stop any power drain (while streaming pandora, and connected to bluetooth headphones).

So I understand Priority Notifications is the new 'silent' mode but I can't get it working so that it has the same functionality as older Android versions.
I've set all priority notifications (events / calls / messages) off and choose to turn on priority notifications indefinitely but each day it reverts back to 'all' so I have to remember to turn it on every day.
Also, when in an app (e.g WhatsApp) and a new message comes through, it still makes a noise even though it's in priority notifications mode!
