I had this phone for about a week now. Got used to all the features. Did all the things needed to calm the draining issue. But no budge. I've drained from 85% protection battery on to 65% upon waking up. So much faster drain from my old s20 ultra. I'm sure there will be an update. The more we talk. We all should comment on Instagram comment section.

And do you think that doing a hard reset and setting it up as new can improve the battery?
I lost 5 or 6% overnight, and after last week's update that's been reduced to 3%
I have poor reception at work and even there I have way less drain now, so I'm a happy camper.
Sounds like some app(s) that are draining too much battery imo.
Would probably help if y'all uploaded screenshots of your battery graph. i'm getting 9.5 hours SOT at FHD resolution with Power set to Optimized. I also use the Samsung Browser and not the Battery Hog Google Chrome Browser.

You should check which apps comsume battery too much, then decide what to do next.
When i first started i weren't happy at all with the battery drain. It barely used to last with 5hrs or so of screen on time! (Light usage too)
After the first 4 days it got better. I used an app called Alliance Shield X, which i believe helped me a lot. Now I'm happy with my battery drain.
Edit: Also the Galaxy Max Hz App.

Alliance Shield X helps to disable packages, create firewall, adblock, etc...
Galaxy Max Hz allows you to adjust screen refresh rates (highs and lows), and a few other settings like lowest hz on screen off/Aod refresh rate
Instander is just some 3rd party Instagram with additional features, lol. I don't use it a lot so i can't say for certain, but looking at the stats, it seems to be a decent drain

I'm getting FANTASTIC battery life! I'm at 63% right now, after close to 12 hours of total time (with 1.5 hours SOT), with an estimated 20 hours left. Standby time is the key here, when I am not using the Moto...the battery just stops in time. It's wild.
I will have to say with the following...
Active Display Disabled < Not necessary
Adaptive Brightness Disabled < around 10% to 15% brightness is honestly totally fine for outdoor use. It's crazy. I use 1% to 5% at night.
Xposed Module: MobileRadioBugFix < Most important!
My Moto X is now immortal.
GSam Battery Monitor is showing on average 2.0% to 3.0% loss per hour when I am using the phone.
While SOT does slowly kill it, standby time is just crazy now. When I lock the screen, it's almost like the battery gets frozen in time.
For anyone who is struggling to get through a day, try these stuff out!
Men, I don't need to fool with it. 20 hours a day before plugging it in is fine for my needs.
Stock out of the box after a week of power cycles.

This is terrifying. Coming from a oneplus one where I was used to getting 6 hours sot over 18 hours. I switched to a oneplus 2 and have only been getting 3 hours sot over the course of a day, thinking that's terrible. Sounds like the Moto x Pure isn't for me, which is a shame because I really do love the Moto features and way it feels in the hand.

You know that module doesn't actually cause a change in battery life? It simple adjusts the calculation of battery drain due to mobile radio. It will not, in any way, cause your battery to last longer.

The tabulation of what was being measured as battery use got stuck counting battery use as being caused by the mobile radio. this module just affects how battery stats are counted.
We shouldn't have to root to get great battery life. Just disable Moto Display, keep brightness low, and control when apps like Facebook sync. Android M will definitely bring improvements.
Not to mention, 6+ hours SOT is ridiculous. Put down your damn phone.

With my OPO and Kitkat at my last job I used to pull 7 to 8 hours of SOT a time.
Not ridiculous at all... if you send roughly 500 texts a day, watch a lot of youtube, play a lot of music and browse the web a lot.
Also, rooting = Taking control of your device.

And ruin the non-replaceable battery? No thanks. Plus I don't want to be tethered to a wall, that's dumb. It's 2015, not 2000
The entire process of unlocking, throwing recovery+flashing super su takes less than 10 minutes. Did the entire thing on the can.
+ Greenify is the best battery saver ever. I'll never not root because of that.
Having said that. the DOZE feature in Android M is pretty slick. My Nexus 6 went from 2h SOT to 4.5 SOT on the last developer preview So hey, maybe that'll make everyone happier

For my oneplus one, 4 to 5 hours of SOT by the time you go to sleep, wake up the next day and have another 3 to 4 hours SOT = 8 hours sot. THEN I charge the phone.

Hello ..
I am getting amazing battery life since I got 6.0 .. Before with lollipop I used to get around 5 hours on screen time. Amazingly though I hit 6.30 hours on the first day after update, and this with wireless, mobile data and Bluetooth on. And no data saving and screen on 70% which is amazing.
Good job Motorola
Excellent I would say
Excellent batt life with this new update very impressive how a software help the hardware to accomplish that task.
I replaced my STYLE and got a new one two days back. The old one would be dead even though it has 80%+ battery.
The current one is pretty good compared with the old unit. I got 4+ hours of SOT and I was on 4G and WiFi all the time. Was using it heavily for browsing and chat.

This is not bad at all. What I am saying is after MM update battery life increased about 1.5 hours extra SOT
Perhaps the update fixed something else? Looking at the MM update from L, there appears to be nothing besides Doze, which only works when the device is still and not used. I notice perhaps 15% better battery life if using the device sporadically during the day (medium use for me). With heavier use, I notice zero difference so far.
I was hoping some kernel adjustments were made, but the device spikes with heat about the same. I first thought it was less, but notice the same apps get the device very warm to hot (the GPU is over it's head with 1440p). Standby time is a lot better though, but only a significant improvement if lighter use though the day (so Doze can be a factor).
Usage is relative only to the user though
How do you get such great battery performance? I barely manage to get 3 hours SOT.
When the device is idle there's no drain, i only lose 2-3% overnight. But when the device is active the battery drains very quickly.
Tried a lot of battery saving stuff, greenify, powernap, and so on, but no luck.
I'm on MM stock rooted. Having a lot of apps installed. May this be the culprit?

If 20% brightness or less, all you do is web surf and a little Youtube, with good LTE signal or wifi and VERY little use of apps that force the GPU to push 1440p, you can get five hours. Everything is relative to the user. That's it.
Counting stock apps, I have 395 apps and 5GB free (64GB model). based on MM battery report, I have no apps that are background battery demons.

Are you talking just 1440p video in general or are you talking 1440p games?
I'm lucky if I get 2 hours of SoT. I can't tell if Android Wear is eating my battery or if it's Sprint, despite having a decent signal. Bluetooth and Cell Standby are chewing up the majority of my battery power. I think the network management is trying to shuffle my phone between their three frequencies and while at work, I can only get on the 1900MHz PCS band due to having to use a repeater.

Some games and apps run at 1440p and choke the GPU. They stand out by running very warm to hot and drain the battery more quickly.

Yes the apps do drain battery.
I uninstalled one particular email app that alone would drain 6% daily!
Anyway this time I got is without gaming. Mostly chatting and browsing and a lot of movies (vlc). I think that day I watched not less than 3-4 hours of continuous movies on the phone.
The only thing I did differently than before is removing unnecessary app permissions and notifications. Other than that I have done nothing. Like I said I do not try to save battery because I always have power source near by, but this 6.30 hours SOT i s awesome I tell you.
Based on my little experience with Android some apps will screw up the phone for no reason. First time I got the phone I got around 3 hours SOT with so many unneeded apps, and I did not know which app is draining my battery so I formatted the phone, and started installing apps one by one and watching the battery. And I managed to hit 4-5 hours with lollipop. Now with the update I got this and I was shocked.
Fully back to stock, unrooted, bootlocker relocked.
Upgraded to MM via OTA.
Installed all my apps via Play Store. Until now, i always restored my apps via TiBu, including data/settings.
I'm curious if my battery life will improve.
Will post the outcome, if any
Cheers!
A lot of the time my phone is just sitting on my desk. It used to say I would get around 1-2 days battery life from it sitting there doing nothing. After MM it says there is 8 days left. I have had it unplugged all day and even with some moderate use I am only at 95%. The doze mode really makes a big impact in stand by times!

I think it did do something to the apps. The way you can block apps from getting access to location or other services is pretty impressive. I love that as I hated that apps would have access to everything on my phone and I cannot do anything about it. Now I can and this particular feature made me love Android even more after I switched two months back.
Is there something wrong with me. I only get 2 to 2 1/2 hours battery tops and actually I've tried amplify (paid version), and power nap and they don't seem to help much. I have only got 3 hours once since I got this phone. Is it just AT&T maybe?
I'd like to mention something else. Probably not related at all, but ..
My old MXS was a faulty unit (as I mentioned in my previous post). Once I got a new replacement, I have not yet charged the phone using Turbo Charger. I am charging it with Mi Pad charger (non-turbo). Yes, it took about 2+ hours to go from 30 to 100%.
Old MXS was always charged with turbo charger and I was getting pretty bad SOT and the baterry would drain as fast as it would charge. Does it have to do something with using a normal vs turbo charger?
I stop pretty much all background services and apps not in use. The only active applications are firefox, whatsapp and VLC.
My screen is set to 50% brightness with adaptive brightness ON. Moto X display and attentive display is ON.
Non-root (planning to root soon) and Moto ROM.

It should not matter, if the battery is not keeping the power that means it is defective, nothing to do with slow or fast charging.
I've just bought my phone two days ago, but it seems to have a really awful problem, my battery is draining like hell, I don't get more than 7 hours SOT and sometimes my SOTs are aweful.
Take a look at the screenshots.
Is it normal? Tell me if it isn't so that I can take it for a replacement.
One of the screenshots are from 100 percent to 14 and the other one is from 100 percent to 79
Also my phone is always warm and I think that it's too much warm sometimes.

If your phone is quite new , then I'd suggest that you should most probably put your phone through many charge discharge cycles . if the problem still persists then I'd really advice you to take a replacement

7 hours SOT is good. You have no reason to complain about that.
Also, you need to wait a week for everything to settle, and let the Samsung power monitor start putting unused apps to sleep.

I noticed your computed power usage with 7h SOT was 1633 mAh, that's a lot higher than mine.
With 30% brightness, full res display, and a black theme, my computed power usage with around 7 and a half hours of SOT is only around 800 mAh.

Yep, I read somewhere that it doesn't have much effect on battery consumption.

Difference between FHD and WQHD+ is negligible and makes almost no difference to battery usage.
If you think 7 hours SOT is not good, then you are honestly very much mistaken. It is very good.
But you simply cannot compare easily with someone else. There are so many factors that change. Signal strength, wifi strength, how often you use wifi and data, brightness, auto brightness, AOD, vibration, sound, bluetooth, NFC, apps installed, apps used, apps running in the background, location settings. They all make a difference and vary between every device.
Colour of wallpaper will make a big difference too. Wallpaper with lots of black will save power because of how AMOLED displays work, so that will also makes a difference between every device too.

Don't know if it's luck or something, or maybe it's a one time happening but this is my test result, with the draining speed I have, it can give me around 9 to 10 hours SOT. I had the 3G always on, my brightness was more than half. This SOT is outstanding, I wish my device maintain this. I turned off AOD, switched to a black theme and used full res display.
Just wondering why the screen usage is that high. 2400 mAh...
@butchieboy and others
No complaint here for sure, but have any of you noticed a definite worse battery life vs say S20??
Yesterday and today noticed after just a few hours of use I'm down to 70s on battery
In all fairness I did a full Smart switch transfer from S20 to the Note ,, so maybe something screwed up
Any thoughts?

I didn't move anything over from my Note 10+. I did a full clean fresh install. And my battery life is MUCH worse than my Note 10+. I even have some drain when it's not being used at all. Hoping it settles a bit over the next few days.

I think this is my experience as well, and apparently not sure to my restoring stuff
Do you guys use FHD+ Screen with Adaptive refresh rate or WQHD+ with 60hz? I use WQHD and it's a little longer.

I did my standard test with Gsam battery monitor: (use the Widget)
1. charge it fully.
2. go to bed and put it next to my bed.
3. In the morning after 8 jours it had just .7%/hour battery drain which is somewhat less than my Note 10+ which mostly gives me .8%/hour battery drain while sleeping during the night..
Huib
First day after overnight change. Almost 6 hout SOT. 4% left at the end of the day.
In my subjective view, so far seems to be definitely worse than my S10+ both with and without adaptive refresh.

We were talking about this on Discord. Granted I only charge to 80% and don't let it drop below 20%. But have noticed that my 10+ battery seems better. I know it usually takes a new device or new firmware once flashed or ota a couple days to calibrate but right now it hasn't been great..not really bad but I thought it would be better. I did noticed that after using that crap out of it then doing a cache wipe and starting my charge cycle to 80% it is a little better. But battery usage will vary depending on how each person uses their device. I switched to 96hz to see if I get a little extra time on battery. And for me...and its just me because I'm kinda OCD..lol I never restore anything, I always start fresh.

I posted a thread on this in general discussion. It doesnt appear any of these cores sleep.
3rd day today. Not bad. 2% left at 9:45 pm. Charged overnight.
No complaints on my end. You guys should give the phone a week to learn your usage patterns and then report back. Be sure to keep performance mode on optimized.

I started out fresh too my OCD will not let me use smart switch or anything else lol.. My battery is doing great but then again I have tons of stuff disabled that I don't use in package disabler and 96hz refresh rate locked in.
Mr Mike glad to see you here bro. I did disable my usual and since my last post, battery is much much better..my complaints have been retracted..lol

The standBy drain can be really bad. It seems to be losing 1 percent after every 5 min. Similar to while screen is on. Did a restart still the same. Google photo somehow keeps using battery while I had it killed and no uploading. Never transfer from my note 10+. Manually installed all apps and data.
Battery's been great for me so far. Looks like about 7 hours of screen time, can't complain about that.

are you on snapdragon?
The first rule of "new phone club" is to not talk about the battery. For at least a week after having the phone. It's pointless. Phone adapts after being used.
Please use this thread to post everything about the Battery live of our S22 ultras
Pretty bad the first day (drained 40% in 12 hours of not doing anything).
This is currently day 3 of me using it. The battery learning or whatever is done and it is noticeably better (but not perfect). Although the fact that on low brightness/ambient light you are stuck with 120Hz kinda kills the battery in the evening.
My Phone runs actually 2Days and 1hour without Charge. I have 7% remaining and 6h 5 Minutes SOT.
I Use energysaver mode(always on+bluetooth+wlan is non stop on) and all apps in deepsleep that i dont need
For me it´s good so far^^

Thats sad mate... hoped that the Battery will be atleast as good as my s21 ultra...
Hope an Update will fix this. Also using 120hz and Füll HD and mostly mobile data. ...

When it comes to battery drain while the phone is not doing anything (just sitting with the screen off and all apps closed) it is worse than my almost 4 years old S9+...
While using it it is hard to tell, but sometimes it seems to just eat through the battery.

Think the "day one patch" will fix it a bit. Many people have stutter issues seems like driver Problems with the AMD gpu. it will release this Week.

I hope. Although people say that updates won't fix it or make it better, the phone is running firmware from January 1st. So it seems like a prerelease to me.

Yes the phone isnt officially out yet... Updates Wort fix something? The fixed my s21 ultra which also had bad battery in the beginning.... also Performance is was better than on Release day...
I can't even get into the boot up screen to clear cache. It kicks me out and rebors phone.

I would be happy to have your results. Look at my S22 ultra (Exynos 12/256) Battery drain ! Just from reading my mails and using telegram and a little bit of whatsapp
Day one battery life is pretty awful! Hope it improves..
. I take it off at 100% and I watch the battery tick down almost immediately. Just general use dropped 16% in the first hour. Hope it gets better than this.
Q: Whats the name of the Samsung optimizer app that.one is supposed to run after an update?

Wtf thats **** mate :/ hope we will See an Update on the official Release:/
Day three. This has the worst battery life of any device I have used in years. For example, Dropped 5% in first 16 minutes of use today. I used smart switch. Maybe that did it? Or is 5G?
I have 2 full days in now, and the battery life is good. S22U 512K unlocked SD version, no power savers, adaptive brightness. I have fast charge turned off and using Anker wireless charger, recharge in about 3-4 hrs.
Feb 23rd : 8h 43m SOT, 8h 22m screen off, 36% remaining at end
Feb 24th : 8h 48m SOT, 7h 51m screen off, 46% remaining at end
I'm on day 5. S22 Ultra with 12/256. It is technically getting better but I do not like how quickly it drains. I been finishing about 5-6 hours SOT max but with battery almost completely dead. Just from unplugging it and driving to work checking notifications, it goes down to 97%. Never seen a battery drain that quickly. Maybe I am just spoiled from the iPhone battery. Also running everything max QHD, 120Hz, auto brightness and Snapdragon version.
One additional comment, I wonder if the battery drain could be due to the GPU and people's different usage patterns. I don't watch a lot of video or play games and my battery seems OK. That and the reports of the phone getting really hot when playing games and the refresh and screen glitches makes me wonder if people reporting higher drain are using the GPU more.
