Hello all forum members,

i have recently bought a moto e and been using it for over a week now. the mobile has been performing very well. however recently i noticed that the battery life for my moto e is coming to around less than 1 day. For instance yesterday i had taken it completely charged in morning around 7 am from house. i did not charge it through the day. it had mobile data on through the day.background applications were running like the updates, location, emails etc which are usually on. at home i have wi fi and used it along with a small time of playing games (may be half to one hr). by the time i had gone to rest, the battery was around 13 percent and phone was dead when i got up.

so it lost around 87% charge in 14-15 hours.

is this normal time to expect on battery? i read people claiming more than 1 day with normal usage.

please help me out with this as i am concerned whether to return the phone or get a replacement.

thank you,
Tarun

I am getting a SOT of (mostly indoor use):
1- Only 2g all day - 5.5+ hours
2- 2g and Wifi(wifi mainly used) all day- 6.5+ hours
3-Only wifi all- 7+ hours

And a average standby time of around 24 hours with that SOT

I am not a intensive gamer, my usage pattern includes mainly using messaging services,watching videos on youtube,listening to music.

Snapshots of battery life

i am attaching the two screenshots i took yesterday. i have tried calibrating my battery as what Matt has suggested on motorola forums for moto-g.
discharged the phone completely, charged it to 100% without turning it on. kept at 100% for 4 more hours, removed from charger, turned it on for 3-5 mins, then put it off and charged it again for 1 hour. repeated this cycle for 1 more time.

after this calibration even, i am getting a low usable battery life i think. 13 hours to 5% charge. during the last few hours (around 2-3 hours) i was chatting on whatsapp and listening to FM radio, so the screen was on as shown, other services were on like location, mobile data, auto brightness.

can anyone tell me if this is normal?, people are claiming a battery life of more than 1 day. now i am getting really worried.

thank you,
Tarun

Screen on Time

i have attached the scrrenshots which i have attached to get an exact idea of screen on time. but as far as my estimate goes, my screen on time would be 4 hours (guessing from my chart-attached on page 1)

you have certain settings that are much different than mine. your mobile data is off, your battery saver is on. your case cannot be compared here.

post the battery snapshot details. only then we can understand if we are comparing apples to apples or apples to oranges.

was connected to internet all day
WiFi and 2g(mainly WiFi though)
this same pattern of usage used to give a SOT of 2.5 hours maximum on my previous device (Xperia Ray- Carbon ROM)
I am really impressed with this device!

If I have helped you,please click on the thanks button. :D

Past device - Xperia Ray
Present daily driver - Moto E
