How long have you had the phone? I heard on a call that it takes 72 hours for your phone to learn your habits and adjust usage to that.ohiobucks1;1682443 wrote:It is automatic.

That's weird. Mine work Turbo is definitely not getting the 48 hours of battery, but I am easily getting through a day.ohiobucks1;1682457 wrote:11-12ish hours (up to 14ish if i dont do as much)

Depends on the screen time, I can get 5-6 hours on a full charge. One thing that seemed to help substantially was turning off auto-brightness and setting it with Locale...the auto-brightness sensor seems to set it higher than needed which can drain your battery much faster.sherm03;1682559 wrote:That's weird.

Wifi also looked like it was using too much battery - make sure you have "optimize battery usage when screen off" is checked.
Google Play services is another big culprit (double, because so many Google apps want to use your location). I think on mine it might be driven by Google Play Newstand, but you might also disable auto-Playstore updates (hopefully that disables all the update polling checks).
There's a list over on XDA of a bunch of settings to tweak to optimize battery, as well as apps you can disable.

Yeah but the thing is 30-50% of my battery use according to the phone is just the screen.

That's going to be dependent on how much time your display is actually on. Try setting brightness to a lower setting, manually. Or you can "auto" set fixed brightness levels based on location and time with either Tasker or Locale.ohiobucks1;1682594 wrote:Yeah but the thing is 30-50% of my battery use according to the phone is just the screen.

Yes. Boh fantastic and a lot of fun to use. Not overly easy or intuitive, though, if you're not into that sort of thing.ohiobucks1;1682783 wrote:are those apps?
I find Locale to be sufficient for my needs. More flexible with more options than Moto Assist in most cases. Locale or Tasker is a must-have app for any Android power user.
