Insane and unsupportable battery drain after Android Wear 2.0 update on my Moto 360 2nd Gen.
A couple of days worked well, battery lasted full day, almost 2 days but a lot of times it drains in a really short time.
Any idea why?
Thanks,

Battery is fine on mine - as good, if not better than previously. Turn off WiFi if you're not using it (it will turn back on again automatically, so you need to go to Developer Options and choose the option for not turning on WiFi when charging).
I have Always On screen, gestures, and screen active time increased to 25 seconds with Pujie and still end the day with about 45% most days.

Guess you didn't look at the screenshot.
I don't think I've ended a day with less than 90% battery left.?

Sorry, did look at the screenshot, but just assumed you were complaining about battery life - like most others Probably should have replied to stevemw instead.
I do think you mustn't be using the watch for very much though, if you're ending the day with 90%. I get quite a few notifications on mine and use it for controlling casted media, checking Keep To-Do list, etc throughout the day so I'm pretty happy that I can end the day with slightly less than half a charge. Off the charger for just over an hour at the moment, and I'm at 96%. Mine is two years old at this point.

Don't think I'm doing anything special at all - it's always been good. I'd call a bad day ending the day with less than 30%. Rarely happens. Maybe you have an app that's causing the drain? Only thing I can think of is that I don't use any of the fitness tracking/heartrate stuff, and make sure WiFi stays off.

well i think the Ambient (Screen always on) mode takes up a lot of juice.. right now i'm at 72% and its 1:20pm. So this battery life is doing better... but i'm still having the issue of my watch turning off at around 30% each time.. called motorola and its out of warranty so would have to pay $75 for replacement.. which is about what I paid for this used....
Possible cure
POSSIBLE FIX. WORTH A TRY AND IT PROVES TO WORK ON MY MOTO 360 GEN 2.
I have been having this battery issue since the last Jan 2018. I noticed it would die around 75% -> 80% -> and last few days it would die at 90%. I read from someone's reply on in this subject mentioning about uninstall Moto Body off their phone. I didn't have MOTO BODY installed on my phone but I noticed a fresh MOTO 360 GEN 2 has MOTO BODY installed as system app. This is what I did:
Attemp:
1. Disable MOTO BODY on your MOTO 360 watch by going to Settings -> Apps -> System Apps -> Moto Body -> Disable
Result:
After restarting the watch around 4PM, the battery started to read 65% and last whole day until 12AM at 15% and died at 14%. I attemped to start the watch and recharge it for a min to get the watch to restart -> it will start at 16% battery. I ran timer and flash light to attemp running battery to 0% but no matter what it would die at 14% or 13%..
Recharged the watch the full battery, and started to wear it since 11am and it has last all day and battery indicator read at 31% (1AM) as I am typing now. Wear OS shows that it will run out battery (0%) at 7AM. I will leave the watch uncharged and check at which time the watch would die.
So it worth a try to Disable MOTO BODY off your watch. Think about it: the only apps that MOTOROLA Custom created for this watch are MOTO BODY and MOTO CONNECT. Disable these 2 apps means really much bring the watch closest to a clean generic Android Wear 2.0 (I dont know what I am talking about!? Just my thought).
Anyway, try it and share the result with the community.
Edit: never mind, it seemed to work but it's back to where it was before.
This fixed my watch; thanks!
Thinking back, I started using Moto Body this week and suddenly my watch started dying on me. Only way to fire it up again, was to put it on the charger. Then it would reboot and show about 80-ish battery percentage. Putting it back on my wrist, it would die within a couple of minutes.
Disabled Moto Body and Moto Connect on both my watch and my phone (no use keeping it active on my phone I reckon), charged my watch and it is flawless ever since.
Will have to look at Moto Body, as recently my watch is dieing at around 80% charge. I did a factory reset today, now it won't copy across my Google account. The watch was fully charged, went to work and it died 5hrs into my shift and I've not used it.
disabling Moto body, Moto connect and downgrading the android wear on watch did not fix my watch's battery issue. still dies at 90%.
Hi.
I had the same trouble.
In the watch, I've disconnected my google account and switch off the WIFI, and now it works properly.
Good Luck.

Dear all owners of MOTO 360 2nd generation ... happy NEw Year
I am actually running:
Mod 46 mm
Purchased on March 2016
Android wear 2.17.0.217437364
Google Play Services 14.3.67 (050300-216465562)
SO Android 7.1.1
Patch sicurezza 1APR2017
N° build NWD1.171020.001
Two or three months ago my battery after 2 years has started with several issues
The overall capacity is decreased (from initial 48 hours to not more than 10)
And I saw that the device switched off despite the level of battery was 40/50%
So I decided on last december 2018 to change the original battery
I purchased a spare found on e-bay (around 18 EUR)
I installed the new battery (around 30 EUR)
Initially the battery life was similar to the old one (8/10 hours)
After few days the battery life is very poor !!
I mean 3/4 hours with the screen always ON and around 7/8 hours with the screen OFF
The very strange thing is that the level of battery when it switchs off can be 90% too
I noted that especially in occasion of small system stress (a new instalaltion app, a new update, a new notification, a reboot asked by me) teh system try to switch ON but it fails
Only if put the device on charger ... it shwitch ON
Of course i performed Factory reset (into recovery mode) a couple of times
Which are your suggestions ??
Is it a hardware problem (fake battery) or it is a sw related issue (for instance the new update of WEAR OS is too heavy for our MOTO 360 2nd) ?
Have you had a good experience with a spare battery that you share with me ?
Thanks a lot
Paolo

How old is your watch ?
How many opened screen hours are your actually performing ?
Have you applied others tricks or you have only disabled WiFi and Google account ?

I have i9205 for 1.5 week. I rooted it after a few hours I have it. I was in rooted + official rom for a week. Then I flashed Cassies XtraLiteROM to it a few days ago. XtraLiteROM is based on official stripped down to minimum plus some tweaks.
My observation of battery drop during the night (wifi/3g/gps/bluetooth all off) is indistinguishable between the official rom and XtraLiteROM. About 10%-12% drop during the 8-hour sleep.
I greenified facebook app and a few others that I think works in the background. I tried to invoke Wakelock detector, hoping to find something. It appeared normal and said 8-hour deep sleep. The battery level falls continuously and smoothly during the sleep with hardly any wakeup.
Is it common with 4.2.2? I have another LG L9 rooted with 4.1.2. The drop during the night is 1%-2%.
I left my mega all stock. No root or any modifications and when i go to bed i put it in flightmode and it loses about 1% or 2% in those 8 hours just like your LG

I'm also having the same battery drain problems since the first day I bought Mega 6.3. I have tried different ROM versions UAMEA,ED,F2,G3 and now the latest G4 but still having the same problem. Today I lost 3% in a matter of 1.5hours without even doing anything on my phone within those times. Flightmode technique you mentioned seems to be good but the problem is we may not be able to receive emergency or urgent calls/text while asleep. I was hoping samsung would address this drain bug.

how is samsung responsible for you installing something on your phone that eats you battery?

But the problem seems to be present even if you don't install anything else than what is supplied !!
I don't understand what's going on with the battery:
one day you put the phone in arplane mode and for 10 hours you eat 1% of the battery :good:
The next day without changing anything you eat 10% in the same conditions WTF !!
As far I can see it seems that there is a problem with the release 4.2 (problem also for the Galaxy S4).!!
In another forum i participate, some people had similar issues, they had been harrowed down to some programs they were running. some people had Mega synchronise their photos every time they connected to the internet others had some other crap going on. if it was a firmware issue, everyone would have it. i, for example don't have this problem. you can try to use Disable service program to see which services are active in the background and are eating your battery and stop them carefully.

For example phone in airplane mode everything off (air view, NFC, GPS, synch off etc):
From yesterday 23.00 till morning 09.00 lost 11%
From 09.00 till 14:00 lost 4%
From 14.00 till now (23.00) lost 3%
Without touching the phone !!
Don't tell me me there is not something strange !!

You've got me all wrong. I'm talking about installing stock ROM (latest version) without any modification i.e. root, cwm, etc and no other apps
installed except samsung built-in apps but still battery drains like hell overnight with almost everything turned-off (wifi, bluetooth, gps, rotation sensor, etc.). So your question is a little bit off topic.

No, not really, because the stock rom is full of bloatware from samsung. I've read reports from other people saying that their camera software or galery or something else, don't remember exactly was uploading their photos to their cloud storage whenever they connected to internet. A lot of stuff can be happening in the background in the stock samsung rom because it's got a lot of stuff in it + the default settings alow synch/backup/downloading updates. Install the light custom rom from this forum, that has everything removed and see how it behaves, alternatively you can use other programs (mentioned one above) to see what's active in the memory of your device and find what's eating your battery.

Ok thanks. I will try silentlight tonight. By the way, I received updates of samsung link from playstore these past few hours and among the reason
for update was the battery drain. Also, I'm using an official S View flip cover from samsung. I was wondering whether there is some sort of sensor activated by this flipcase that keeps my mega from deepsleep.

Have a look here, one more idea for you - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44428107#post44428107
My battery drain problem appears to be related to "cell standby".
If I charge the phone to battery full, unplug, reboot, screen off, data off and leave it to stand by for a night. "Cell standby" alone takes up most battery usage and battery level drops by ~10%. I can constantly repeat that. I think more users are having a problem with radio.
Reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335242
I am trying to disable fast dormancy to see if that helps slow down cell standby drain.
I have to come back @ my comment on the previous page, since today my phone went battery hungry too at night. left it in flight mode during the night as usual but instead of losing 1 or 2% it consumed 12%.
Very strange since the phone should be absolutly doing nothing at all when its locked and in flight mode.
It's not really a problem since im a fairly moderate to light user so i can do 2 days on 1 charge but still.
I also have a strange wake-up problem now, after using the phone a bit and when i press power to lock it, sometimes the screen lights up again after about 5 seconds and goes off again.
I feel worse than it actually is when I feel like robbed 10% of power everyday for no reason. Maybe I was too picky. I have not given up on this. Will continue to look for a solution.
same **** here, today is even worst, 8 hours of phone not doing anything. deep sleeping is at 92% according to BBS, and my battery dropped from 75% to 61%, wonder wat is happening with my phone. damn!
Try this
Sorry. Very bad know English. Solved the problem of the so-

Hello guys,
As the title says, I too am running into some battery trouble (shocker, I know). I'd like to point out that first I did my research in the HOW+ forums + faqs. So, here's the situation:
Today with 80% of battery i played sonic dash for 45min. After that It shows 40% left. I shut down the phone. Put it in the freezer for 5mins (why not?) then turned it on again. Then it shows less than 16% at startup.
Two weeks earlier i used Navigon gps for 1hour on a full battery, after that i had 50% left. Restarted the phone and it showed 40% and afterwards started going down fast as hell in 1 hour without me turning the screen on. Seriously, at the end I had the 4 low battery alerts in a quick row (14%, 9%, 3%, 1% and then shutdown in 5-10minutes).
I bought the phone in march and used it heavily at first. I was all about thd games (which all push the phone to its limits) + occasional big downloads + uzipping heavy files. Then later i calmed down and mostly used the phone in the evenings before sleep: loads of browsing + youtube + emulators (which, all three combined, don't drain the battery that much even after a long time).
The phone has been rooted for 1 month. I'm still on stock rom. I greenified most of the processes (like every apps and games except viber, tango, whats app skype, line, twitter, facebook, vine) and froze (with titanium backup) google+, gmail,chrome, htc tips, play books, play movies, play kioske, play music, htc tips, htc watch.
Here is my question : do you guys think i should try some battery recalibrating or should replacing the battery do the trick? Or maybe there's nothing to do and the one x+ is just doomed in that area.
In one month I am going to Japan for a couple of weeks and I'll be needing a lot of my HOX+ so I sure wouldn't want to spend money on a new phone (with the next gen devices right around the corner) or on a pricey mugen external juice case. Any piece of advice or info is welcome.
Thanks in advance for your time guys.
Hey dude,i had similary problems with my battery.i tried everything from flashing special customs to battery doctor apps/widgets stock rom.but nothing solved the problem.only one thing,a replacement part for 23€ from ebay.the battery its selfs.

Danke.
So you say you had the battery replaced. May I ask if you did see a significant difference once the new battery was installed? Also im curious, after how many months did you replace it and how heavy were you using your phone before?
Again, thank you, much appreciated.
I've had similar issues with my battery. It has definitely gotten worse as time goes by. I did however just get a response from HTC about what to do about the quick battery drain when my phone hits 15%.
This is what they said:
I apologize for this behavior that you are having with the battery on your HTC One X+. The culprit in this situation is not the battery, it is the charging logic. Therefore, I advise you to recalibrate the battery/charging logic with the following steps:
1. Charge the device for at least 10 minutes
2. With the device truly OFF while still being plugged into the wall outlet, push in and hold volume up and volume down AND power button, for 2 minutes.
3. Let go. Device will boot up, and battery/charging logic are re-calibrated.

I cannot test this as the current ROM I have can only do a soft reboot, thus I cannot shutoff my device. Hope it helps at least a little.

Thank you, I will try this method and report.
Rapid drain from 15% -> happens most of the times to EVERYONE, its not individual phone problem..
So unless HTC's calibration method doesn't help just need learn to live with it :/

I suffer a lot from this issue (rapid drain from 15%->0%).
I think the battery capacity is measured/reported wrongly by the OS, because battery stats app measures the battery at 1832mAh (fully charged), not 2100 which is supposed to be...

I had this problem and I left the phone at the service for a warranty change of the battery.
They've changed it and I must admit that the problem has been resolved. I can now see how the battery drains step by step: 15, 14, 13, 12, 11 etc. It does seem to last a bit more now, maybe half an hour.

I shattered my phone screen, and send it to service, and i told them about battery problem, now they replaced battery, and earpiece speaker as i had low volume, will see how it works after i get it back in 3 days.
The battery bug was introduced in the only update for HOX+, everything was fine before the update. It starts mostly after a few days without a reboot. One time I've had theoretically more than 40% battery level, while in the next hour my phone wouldn't even start because of empty battery. Recently I was goofing around with Tasker. When the battery level showed 20%, my phone shutdown.
Did anyone test the recalibrate thing? Can someone explain me how am I supposed to hold 3 buttons for 2 minutes ?
So got my hox+ from HTC back now, with battery replaced, and now its working properly, listening music since 14% -> 1% for like 45 mins and turning screen here and there to change track, and phone turned OFF after being few minute on 1%.

Thanks for the info!!
Did you relock the bootloader/return to stock before sending it in, if it was unlocked?
And did the relocked bootloader raise any issues with the warranty?

I returned to stock ofcourse, bootlaoder says RE-LOCKED, no issues.
Hi everyone,
I have exactly the same problems that what has been told before... (Very bad battery life, specially when I'm using 3G data... and when the battery is under 20%, the phone stops completly only few minutes after...)
(My HOX+ is on ViperX+ but before I flashed this rom the problem was the same...)
I tried to do a recalibration of the battery but it didn't solved the problem...
I also tried the HTC instructions listed on the topic before, but it absolutly changed nothing.
My HOX+ is still on waranty but I ordered a new battery to change it by myself (I don't want to change the rom and relock the phone to send it on warranty, I prefer to do it by myself...), and the battery (annonced as genuine) cost about 26€ on Ebay delivered ($35 approximatly)...
I will come back here to tell you if it solved the problem!

Let's talk about this in the next month...
Small update about this.
I contacted HTC support and told them about this bug. Of course one of a consultant's suggestion was "factory reset" and "repair it", as always . But he suggested to wipe android cache via recovery. I did this 10 days ago with no hope this will help, but so far it is working. It seems as if the battery percentage goes quicker up when charging and the level shows now correct values. I will wait one or two more weeks to see if this really solved the issue. So far, it might have been simply luck .
I asked HTC's consultant also about the "hold three buttons while charging to calibrate battery" trick. He said that this trick is not present in their fix database. Weird.
I found this trick on another android website
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...g-red-while-charging-rapid-battery-drain.html
It looks as if it is not a safe solution?
Hello,
So i bought the G2 mini last week and i am a bit disappointed by the battery life. i can't go more than 4-5 hours of screen on time.
The problem ist that "Android OS" and "Android system" are each draining about 19-20% of the battery. Even after a factory recet it is the same.
On the phones i had before these two were about 10 % TOGETHER.
So does anyone know if it's normal?
Thanks in advance
I have same problem.
Did you tried to look what apps is draining your battery ?
It happens without any apps on the phone. Just after reset. So either it is normal or it is a bug on the phone. But i think it is getting better know. I can get average of 6 hours screen on now. But still not normal i think
I have a similar problem. Bought my G2 mini three weeks ago. Seemed good battery life to begin with. Now, intermittently, it's draining up to 2% an hour in idle (just syncing a not-much-used email account over wifi). It's Android OS which is using up the battery, not apps, according to Android's battery information. And it even did this a bit when I tried in safe mode. But sometimes it works great, with very low battery drain. I did a factory reset last night, and the battery drain has been only 3% in five hours. But I'm not sure I trust that it will stay this way. I have a week to decide whether to return it!
(This is the second problem I've had with the phone. Until a few days ago, it would be using 10-20Mb of data a day, which is a big deal when you have a 500Mb contract. Again, it was Android OS that was using up the vast bulk of this data, not me. This behaviour seems to have calmed down a bit in the last few days.)

If it is 4.4.2, then that could be the reason!
Google Built a Bug into 4.4.2!
Hmmmm. let's see on GSMArena. [LINK]
Oh, no! How Horrible!
---------- Post added at 15:32 ---------- Previous post was at 15:31 ----------
The Bug is: AndroidOS-Process eats up your battery.
Mine is 4.4.2.
What's the bug? I haven't been able to find anything about it. And I can't see anything on the GSM Arena page you linked to. Is it a general bug in 4.4.2, or specific to the G2 mini?
Thanks!

Battery drain is not for 3g or 4g power consumition. If 2400 mah die with 3g in three hours, what about moto g or other phones...
The problem is fast dormancy. I desactivate it. If you want i can make a tutorial.
With 100% 3g and fast dormancy battery last 12 hours with 1h 30 screen.
With 100% 3g without fast dormancy battery last 48 hs with 4h screen.
Oh rats, this is the 4.4.2 camera bug, isn't it? Only for Qualcomm devices? I did actually know about that bug, and then forgot about it again, and then bought a device with 4.4.2 and a Qualcomm processor. Dammit.
If so workarounds might be: when you use the camera, pay attention to the battery drain afterwards, in case it has activated the bug. If there's a drain, reboot. Turn off the "Smart screen" and "Smart video" settings, since having them on would also activate the camera, which could also trigger the bug. I had those "Smart" settings on until yesterday, so maybe that's what was causing the problem for me.
And in the meantime, cross fingers that LG will upgrade us to 4.4.3 or, preferably, Android L, thereby squashing the bug.

LG had patched that........
3G/4G is very much the reason of all battery drain on my device, today I've gotten alright battery stats with no data connection except for WiFi, haven't deactivated anything but data and used my phone for a lot of youtube/browsing/ chatting. So I believe if you cannot go above 5 hours of onscreen, it's properly due to high usage of camera, or data and WiFi running when not in use

I never had that issue after using camera. You need to check if the process is starting on setting/battery. (That will not start because LG has patched that at least on my country, because I never have that)
I don't know what's going on. Today I didn't use the camera, and the battery seemed fine, and then I took a photo, and it started draining at 1-2% per hour again, so that made me think I'd found the problem. But then I hear it's patched, and anyway if it's the classic 4.4.2 camera bug, it should show up as mm-qcamera_daemon being the process using all the battery, and it doesn't, it showing Android OS doing so. I feel like I'm back at square one, not knowing what the problem is or how to workaround it, and thinking I have to send my new phone back...

Your problem is fast dormancy for sure. I told you that a few post back..
LG comes with fast dormancy activated by default for all operators and some of them dont have fast dormancy so make a fast 3G battery drain. If you drain 2% of battery in a hour with wi fi you can install battery stats and see what app is eating your battery.
I get intermittent battery drain with either 3G or wifi.
But if you could tell me how to change the fast dormancy settings, I could give it a try.
Also, not convinced that it's an app draining battery on wifi. According to Android, it's Android OS, not an app. Or is the Android battery information so not reliable? In that case, can you recommend a battery monitor app?
Thanks.

When Android operating system is draining your battery, is an app on the backgrpuns. You can use better battery stats. Just search in google and will apear.
If Android OS is draining, its common i also have 10% of drain because of that. But it dont drain too much so you dont have to worry. My xperia m2 says android os 60% when idle, but battery drains normal so just dont worry. If you feel a big battery drain use your phine to 100% to 10% and give a sctrenshot of battery graph.
Press thanks button, you are welcome.
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
sleeps like a baby, 0% drain on 8h sleep.
10% drain for 8 hours (but I had my enabled the "Always On Display" to Show the Time)
2-3% overnight for me. AOD off.
I had been having an issue where mine was never entering deep sleep. I tracked it to two things. Google voice recognition on every screen and auto backup. Once I turned those off, the battery drain seems much improved, although I only made those changes this afternoon.
If you're having issues you might try to identify the wakelock via ADB. Run the below code in a loop and see what pops up. It worked for me.

I am having a serious battery drain issue in standby. I did just turn off my google voice recognition on every screen (thanks czucker) so I'll see what happens. Im kinda upset with the performance though. I picked up the phone on Tuesday from my local sprint store (pre-ordered and it came in early) so maybe the phone is still learning my usage patterns but still the standby battery drain is concerning...

You will find voice recognition in the Google app under settings/voice/OK Google. The second one is in settings/backup and reset under samsung account.
In my first full day with the S7 Edge I was not super impressed with the battery. From 7am to 9pm, from a full charge I ended the day around 10% with very minimal. Maybe the large screen takes up more juice than I thought---I was expecting the larger battery to last me quite a bit longer. Coming from the HTC M9 and that battery ended my day around 30%.

Thank you! After a few days usage, still not getting good battery life, usage time is around 11-12 hrs, the battery drain appears to be android system. I've turned off almost all apps from notifications and auto updates. Reading other posts the exynos version is getting great life. The 820 and Android system aren't playing nice...
drained overnight
I fully charged the phone 100% before bed. Next morning, 8 hours later battery down to 12 % with android and screen sharing the usage. Next day I resetted the phone to uninstall all my apps and tried again - still almost same result. Is there anything I can do to investigate this? I have turned off Google Voice and Automatic Backups already - the huge battery is performing worse than the htc one m7 i replaced
Any suggestions?
Edit: Should have mentioned - the phone gets untouchable by morning! hot as anything - i guess i should be contacting Samsung

No suggestion. It is best to contact Samsung, as this behavior is not normal. These phones are made to be used, and not for us to turn off almost everything just to get through a day.

All apps that are part of android system report this percentage.
Had an issue with the "Pocket" app. This awful crap drained almost 10% of my battery and I did not even used it (I did not setup the app and did not opened it.. not even once..). All good after I uninstalled it.
I run stock 7.1.1 on my Moto Z and lately I have seen that the battery life is terrible. If I take the phone off the charger at say 7am I will be lucky to get to 3pm before needing charging. I don't play games or watch videos using the phone primarily for phone calls (!), texts, email, news reading (I use Google Playstand) and the occasional social media (no Facebook).
The only "customisations" I have are using the Pixel Launcher 3 instead of the Motorola one, the Google camera and the native AOSP dialer rathen than the Motorola one.
I had seen a few posts from folks saying a factory reset might fix it but I want to avoid that if I can with many work apps having quite convoluted processes to get then to authenticate and sign onto to Enterprise servers again,
Thanks
Maybe reflashing the stock ROM via fastboot avoiding the line "fastboot erase userdata" because if you'll avoid this line your personal data wouldn't be erased

Check your battery wear using Accubattery.
I have the same issue. Did you find any solution?
Sent from my Moto Z using XDA Labs
the only thing that help me with this problem, was a factory reset with a fresh install of all the apps, avoiding the restore
You could try to install Greenify https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify if the phone uses a lot of battery when the screen is off.

HOw did you about that? I went to the Lenovo support forums and a senior agent replied as follows:

Only one day but after deleting the cache partition, today's usage is much better - almost 14 hours.
However battery health is only 90% which seems low.
If you follow accubattery recommendations you should keep your phone ideally between 40-70% or at most 20-80% and don't ever let it run to zero unless you're recalibrating the battery and don't charge it to 100%. My Z Force is from August 2016 is at 95%, but even with that there's been a reduction in battery life.

I went to a local repair shop and paid something about 50$ to get it replaced.
I was playing a Daydream VR game that froze up and had to hold the power button to restart. Battery was around 70%, when the phone restarted it showed around 15%. My battery has been downhill since. This was last week. Today I have my phone plugged in charging with the Incipio battery back on and both showed 100% with the phone on. Powered the phone off while still plugged in and the power off screen shows the mod as 100% but my phone battery shows 78% and will continues showing 78% after 15 minutes of charging. Powered it back on and the mod is still at 100% and the phone battery is at 78%. Not sure whats going on. Accubattery shows 57% health after about a week of use. I have a battery replacement ordered...
First signs of the phone going to catch fire like my Z force did.
Took an update and it caused massive issues. Battery life was horrible and started to over heat. Not long later sitting at the Android set up screen about 1% battery drain per minute. Motorola said it's normal and no issues. Phones frame was getting to 90c again Motorola said ots normal and withen spec. Then other caught fire. Can't comment any more due to legal process. I'm just posting stuff I already have when I first seen the issues.
Be careful. Lucky at that point I was charging my phone in a metal pot. So if you see a huge battery drain and start to see overheating and reboots keep it in a metal pot. The pot is what saved my house from burning down.

I think that the incipio mod is the problem, O noted the same behavior using the mod, some weeks ago I purchased the turbo mod and it works better than the incipio.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I'm having the very same problem and will send the phone in for battery replacement.
Hundreds of users are complaining over there in the Lenovo Forums about this problem that came with 7.1.1.
Motorla recommended one user to clear the cache partition, but I don't think this will finally solve the 7.1.1 problems.
Let's wait for a software fix from Lenovo/Motorola or hope for Android 8.0/OREO
I think It's from some weird bug from 7.1.1
I got this problem after flashed 7.1.1 and now, it's in the warranty for battery replacement :/
and with my experience, nothing will fix if you flash back to 7.0.0

I replaced my battery. Before the battery would give 1.5-2 hours screen on time (57 percent drain an hour). Now I'm getting 4-5 hours of screen on time (17 percent drain an hour). Both measurements are on the same Android version 7.1.1 and same settings
