Returned it. Appalling battery life and lag - Moto 360

Lag...Lag...LAG!
My freaking lord the Moto 360 lags like an old gingerbread phone! Barely responds to taps, struggles to load animations and basic things... Ugh.
And the battery was JUST pathetic. 6 hours annnnnddd.... Dead. Worthless.
After conducting my tests I can offically say...as much as I hate to say it.... The moto 360 is a complete failure.
Do not buy it. Wait for the next gen watches.

Off the charge at 730am, now 1030pm, 39% left.
Don't notice any lag.
Have fun!

Sounds like you used it without the out of box update.

Your story seems to be the minority. Mine lasts all day with half the battery remaining and no lag.

No lag here. Off charger at 8am, now it's 8pm, 58% left, after 20+ text messages, 30+ email notifications.
Buy if you can find one.

Yay another 'who cares' thread

Mines off the charger at 630am and back on at 11pm. If that's not considered all day I don't know what is... Granted I'm down to 10% but it's still alive.
I do notice some lag sometimes though but it really doesn't bother me. You must have the screen on all the time at full brightness or something.

Now I'm wondering whether OP actually owned a 360 at all... with mine it forced me to charge to 80% and then forced update, there's no way you could use it without updating...

The lag is bad. Wish it was smooth like my G Watch

Definitely does have some lag compared to the G Watch which is smooth....but after a few days my battery is actually up to par with the G Watch. That's to say after a 16 hour day I still have 10-20% battery life. Works for me!

I'm on my second cycle and so far, so good. Unplugged at 7:21 am. It's 9:08 am and I'm at 94%. Did disconnect from the phone(OnePlus One) for about half an hour and battery remained at 96. Connected it back, and after 15 minutes, dropped to 94. Have had 3 texts already, 2 emails. other notifications that don't wake the watch. Checked the time about 8 times by using the motion sensor. I think it'll last.
As to lag, yes, there is lag. Animations do drop frame. But it's not bad enough for me to be unhappy. Still asking why in God's name did Motorola not use the Snapdragon 400.

Coming from a Pebble, Pebble Steel, LG G Watch, to now my beloved Moto 360. Battery decreased significantly since the pebble obviously. From the G Watch to the 360, there is slight lag, but nothing a custom rom can't fix , but it's fine and tolerable because of the look of the 360. I am willing to compromise a bit for the style, even though the G watch was slightly better on the operating side of things. For me, the looks have the me wearing my 360 since I got it and I have a few other watches, which are left in my watch box for later use lol.
Back to the battery issue. After the first week, the battery has lasted 12 hrs easy; on average, I get about 5% discharge per hour with heavy usage of calls, emails and notifications. Bump that up to ~7% after using navi for about a half hour or so.

I mean seriously, do we really need 3+ threads on the same freaking subject?? if you don't like the moto, then return it and move along, or post your reasons if you feel inclined to on one of the other 2 threads.

I wanted to love it! But after 3 days of it barely lasting 12 hours and an HRM monitor that could not find my heart rate while in the gym it had to go back. DAMN!! I wanted to love you MOTO 360, but you just didn't deliver. Safe travels back home pal

HTC One X - yes or no?

I have a pretty hard decision to make and I would really like to hear your opinion. I have a chance to extend my contract and replace my Galaxy S i9000 with the One X, but I'm not entirely sure if that's a good idea. First I'd like to state that I love the size of both the device and the screen. Now I don't really know how the battery is gonna do for me. I usually listen to music on my earphones for about 2 - 3 hours a day and I don't use any kind of data connection, just Wifi. Do you think it will get me through about 13 hours? Now I've read about the screen flickering issues and that part concerns me a lot. I understand that HTC released some updates. Did those updates completely remove the flickering problem? And I have one more question. How hot does the device get when you push the Tegra 3 to its limits? I would really appreciate any kind of feedback from you, the One X users and please let me know if there are some other problems that I didn't mention (I don't count the rainbow effect as a problem, since I won't be trying to crush my device). Thank you
13 hours sounds like a lot, but turning off wifi when you don't use it and the carrier data connection would save battery. there's only 1 other phone to pick from for Android and it's not out until about June, so if you can't buy at full price and go month to month and you don't want to wait until June - then get this one. there are also a bunch of threads about all of this. i would hate to have to mod this section.
i'm getting mine next week, but i'm paying full price because i'm on contract from the GS II until Oct 2013. after that, i'm switching to Red Pocket or something like that.
I know, I read all about the problems but I would just like some opinions on the worth of the device and how it does on a day to day use. I really don't want to spend so much on a device and then be sorry for that decision for 2 years. I have to have my decision ready by Monday and the opinions from you guys would help me a whole lot. I read literally dozens of reviews but that's just the first look, I need some information about the daily usage.
I reach 13 hours with 2.5hrs screen time on a daily basis

1day and 14hrs with 3hrs screen on time and that is with wifi on all the time...go for the phone mate. or wait till the s3 gets released and then make your decision. both great phones and great in their own rights....build quality of my phone no issues..minor software bugs but waiting for the update to come so it should sort it
So you guys are satisfied with the phone and it's the best phone on the market now, right? I guess I'll buy it on Monday then. Thank you very much for helping me with this decision
Get one infact if u can afford them get 2

Sorry for coming in late, but I would also highly recommend this phone. Battery has been running now for 1 day and 4 hours without a charge. I haven't used the phone a great deal in the last 28 hours, however WiFi and Bluetooth have been enabled throughout.
Battery showing 60% charge.
It's a great phone!
+1 for the One X. I listen to music from the phone easily 3-4 hours a day, half of which is in the car. I noticed that if I turn the wifi off when I'm out and about, the phone can last a damn long time playing music. I haven't tested exact usage, but from memory, a forty minute drive used about 1% of battery or so.
Also, I have no hardware issues at all. Absolutely perfect phone. Only time when the battery really drops fast is if you are using it heavily with say a game, or internet with brightness set above 65% or so
Thank you guys, you have been really helpful. I just wasn't sure about the overall quality of the device and how bad those "problems" are, but you made it clear that the One X is worth the money

With constant music?
Anyhow, the Tegra 3 is supposed to have the support core which may improve battery life significantly when the screen is off (even if listening to music?)
Maybe I can try some tests!
I only just got mine.
Then there's always SetCPU (and it's profile functionality).

Here's a screen shot of mine 3G streaming a couple of hours of Rhapsody over BT today with not much display on-time. From my experience, Wi-Fi drains the battery less than 3G. The display is the big battery eater so for music with the display off you should make your 13 hour goal.

My batt is now in 51% and has been used for 13 hrs with screen on 1.40hrs
I have no issues with screen or anything else.
Can't complain about battery life but my use has been light so far.
That's why I love the XDA community, it's always ready to help Thank you once again and wish me luck in getting a problem-free One X
Had this phone for a week now and it's a perfect device. No issues at all, build quality is awesome, software could be a bit more tuned and optimized, but really, this is the best smartphone on the market at the moment. I'd give it 9/10. Sretno

Battery life ?

Hi everyone
I am thinking to get G pad 8.3 but i want to know about battery life ,screen time on how long it will take.

Around 5 hours with the screen always on. WiFi internet browsing with screen at 40%brightness.

It is for me because I use the thing everyday. My Transformer Infinity would last a couple of days on a charge because I never used it since there was so much lag. The G Pad is so good that I actually look forward to using it over my G2 whenever possible. That wasn't the case with my Infinity.

Same here! The best way I describe battery life is as follows:
Other tablets I've had: 99%, 73%, 49%, 31%, 11% Charge Battery
G Pad: 100%, 100%, 100%, 96%, 89%, 84%, 79%, 76%, 69%, 61%, 53%, 48%, 39%...etc etc etc : )
This tablets sips juice like a "fine classy lady at a cocktail party!"....(pinky raised and everything!) lol

I honestly don't know because I haven't been paying attention, but I'm guessing that is harder now that the Mini has retina. I'm thinking that's why the first one didn't have it.

The new iPad mini comes with a even bigger battery that the old one, reason why it is slightly thicker and heavier.
I have all sorts of tablets, iPad last longest when it comes to browsing and standby, nexus 7 use is 2 days my lg g pad is one day, I find each has their selling point and sometimes I sacrifice battery for other things.
Battery life ok
It is off course difficult to say since consumption is very dependent on use.
In my case it is the screen that uses by far most power - around 70-80% I think.
I have light on auto and 50-100% on the slider and it generaly uses 10% pr hour of use.
When I don't use the tab and wifi is off it uses virtualy nothing and I think it would run for days
And how fast it charges...
Slow as hell, 4 to 5 hours from empty to full.

Charging Time line while sitting on my desk
9am - 5% start
9:30 - 20%
10am - 44%
11am - 75%
Looks like a full charge by 11:30am. So from 5-100% in 2.5 hours.
5 hours screen on for me for GPE
I just got it, first day I got 5 hours screen on time in 24 hour period and it was down to 10% when I charged it. Then it charged about 12% in 2 hours so I unplugged it and right back in and it started charging faster after that. Once charged it seems to go from 100%-90% fairly quickly then it levels out.
I'm not complaining about idle time...
I almost always use my tablets and phones with the brightness under 25 percent of maximum; that being said, I cruised through an entire weekend with the G Pad without searching for a charge, and that’s pretty impressive.

On pace for over 8 hours SOT. This phone is a beast!
I had a much better one two days ago, but I didn't get a screen shot.
I average well over a full work day with more than 7+ hours of SOT.
I don't use a dark theme, but it's not a bright theme either. No power save use ever. I use bluetooth and headphones to listen to music throughout the day. Plenty of web surfing and media related tasks. I don't play games.
I believe I get better battery performance following charging via wireless instead of the Rapid Charger. It's just been my overall experience so far.
here is mine, I wonder if reboots Often help?

Not happy with my battery life at all. Even used Package Disabler with little success.
Don't know why it says 6 hours of screen time, I get about 3 1/2 and do intermittent quick charges as it drops into the 60-70% range quick.

There is something different or wrong, mines won't drop to 60% tell well the end of the day.
Rebooted after a few changes and waiting to see how it behaves, might need to factory reset. So far not impressed and over my return period (exchange for another note 5)

Over 2 days lol sot over 3 hours never got this on my previously Note 4 , just imagine if i was a hard user would get sot probably over 6hrs and instead of 2 days , 1 day for having more sot.
Running On Samsung Galaxy Note 5 N920A
This version of the Note has me the most disappointed. I got less than 12 hours of use out of the phone, with it in ultra power saving mode for more that 50% of that time, just texting. I had my Note 4 with me as well, using that to listen to music, watch Netflix, and read on the Nook app, with wi-fi turned on but no cellular, bluetooth, or gps turned on, but I had over 50% battery left when the Note 5 died.
Battery life is great on this thing.

My battery has been good but not great and I think I know why. For some reason my Android System always seems to be whats eating up the most battery so I took a look at the running apps and found the following. Doing a little research before I disable them. The one that stands out to me is the IQ Service Agent.. I hope that's not carrier IQ.. See Screenshot:

AT&T never actually stopped using Carrier IQ. They were just doing a better job hiding it (or getting the phone manufacturer to bury it so deep that it's nearly impossible to remove.)
FML and I can't root my phone and get rid of it.. IT's causing my Android System to go nuts and always consume the most battery... This is disappointing.

AT&T has a 14 day return policy. If you are still within it, why not return the phone and get something else?
Yeah I'm within the 14 day return policy but nothing on the market is better than the Note 5 in terms of overall package. Guess I'll just ride it out. I like the Note 5 a lot and I guess if I can get a full day of use that's good enough.. Plus Marshmallow should fix a lot of issues that plague Lollipop. Here's to hoping we actually see M before the Note 6 is released..

Samsung isn't terrible when it comes to updating. Especially when you consider the amount of work involved in getting TW ported, and the high number of devices they have.
AT&T, on the other hand, might not accept that update from Samsung until 2017 or later.
I'm very serious when I say that if you keep this phone, accept it how it is today. Assume no bug fixes, no updates and no root. This way, you're prepared for one possible outcome and can only be pleasantly surprised.
(Yes, I'm having to do the same math. You can't imagine how hard it is for me to accept a phone with no root... but it's a good device...)

Huawei watch 1 - Nothing looks as good

Hey
Am I the only person that thinks there isn't another smart watch that looks as good as the Huawei watch 1? I mean it's not too bulky and looks like a cool normal watch. I have a black one. I wish they would just release a new version with the same body but updated hardware. The only thing that irritates me is the notification buzz, it's too loud. I'f i'm at work it's annoying for the people around me. Other than that I think it's really cool. Had it for a good few years now.
Any just sharing my thoughts
Still using mine and it's absolutely amazing. Won't be changing it any time soon. Great watch.
Send from Huawei P10 Plus with Tapatalk
Only just stopped using mine and it's simply down to the fact it doesn't have NFC. Still the best watch IMO, just lacking that one feature I like
I picked up a used one a couple of weeks ago and I love it. It looks GREAT, still runs very smoothly, and the display still seems to be one of the best around.
Fossil Q Gen 5 Carlyle looks good too, but is the new kid on the block ahahah

I actually just managed to bring up new life in my Huawei W1 by changing its battery myself(a lot easier than I thought...saw a youtube video). Got a battery from Aliexpress. The old one was very swollen.
Now it runs just as smooth as when I first got it.
Too bad that now I also want the Fossil 5 Gen(only because of NFC...and rotating bezel...and hopefully better charging procedure that does not require fiddling every damn time)
Just picked one up off kijiji for $100 CAD. Loved it the moment i saw it when it came out but didn't agree with Huawei's pricing. It IS beautiful, but people were not gonna spend that money on a brand that (back in those days) ppl didn't really know. It was always been on my mind. Jumped at the chance to get it. It's just a BEAUTIFUL watch! I get more compliments on it than on anything else. Just got back from 2 weeks in California. Tons of ppl asking me 'What the hell is that?!', followed by, "Wow! Nice!"
great watch, really loved mine. used it for 4 years......then the chargers started dying, 1 after another.....4 chargers later...the watch wont charge., only sometimes...was really sad
Have you tried polishing the contacts on the back of the watch? Same happened to mine, would only charge sometimes and only if the charger was in exactly the right place. Gave it a good clean and polish on the watch contacts (not the charger) and it's been working great since

What was your procedure for clean and polish? I've tried but it gets bad again pretty quickly.
I've got a dremmel / rotary tool thing that has a polishing attachment - I use that around the contacts then wipe down with a microfibre cloth afterwards.
I just got a GT2 for Christmas, which I really like. However my W1 is still the best looking smart watch.... If only Wear OS didn't suck battery so quick when on full sync. If sync is off I get several days of use, but sync on and I get a day and a bit if lucky. Whereas the GT2 will get a couple of weeks...

I just got a GT2 for Christmas, which I really like. However my W1 is still the best looking smart watch.... If only Wear OS didn't suck battery so quick when on full sync. If sync is off I get several days of use, but sync on and I get a day and a bit if lucky. Whereas the GT2 will get a couple of weeks... View attachment 4910847View attachment 4910849

I think the GT2 looks better. How are you dealing with the lack of wearOS features? I have an original Huawei watch, looking at a GT/
Didn't use most features day to day so I'm fine.

Yep. Not been charged yet. Straight out of the box on Christmas Day. Still on 64%. I have constant heart monitoring, stress test and upped the screen timeout to 10 seconds.

Great price. The only thing it doesn't have is speaker phone and newer heart rate monitor. The rest seems to be pretty much the same. [emoji4]

I just bought the MK Lexington 2 Gold, loved the look of the watch, absolutely gorgeous...BUT... My 3 + Year old HW1 still gets better battery life and unfortunately neither live up to the Samsung GW 46mm. Still love and use my HW1, but it doesn't go on business trips.
BTW I returned the Mk.

Question Battery life thread

My battery life is not great. Became worse after rooting. Better than my 4XL, but not getting "all day plus" battery life.
What are others experiencing?
For some magic by the great @Freak07 https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ra-1-0-5-for-pixel-6-pro-aka-raviole.4358435/
I'm absolutely blown away. Every morning I have a routine where I go outside and have my coffee and chain smoke a few darts, read the news, look at memes and such and typically I'm using it about an hour and on my S21+ or Z Fold 3 I'd always be down to 93 or 94%. Today was no different and I was still at 100 after doing so. I then went to work and used Android auto so it stayed full until about 830 am when I took it off the charger. It's 745 pm and I'm at 80% with just a bit over 4 hrs sot. Didn't tweak any settings whatsoever to try and save battery.

Often but not always poor battery is dependant on what apps you have that are running in the BG or sending push notifications, etc. Some games like to do that and just destroy battery life. Facebook likes to kill battery that's for sure. That's really the only social media site I use regularly. I likely won't have many games on this. I'll jus my fold for games

Do you have AOD on? Lift to wake? Curious what settings you have

Yep everything on. The only setting I turned off was having wifi scanning. I like to enjoy and utilize all the features for the most part

Twitter is my only social media and no games. Time for BBS.
7h40 of SOT in 14 hours. Mostly wifi. No games, but messaging web and vidéo.
I was hoping better...
Also, with official 30w charger it did not reach 50% but 43 from 5% left.

Subjectively, battery life seems to be pretty cool. Nothing seems to drain particularly quickly and I've only had to charge a couple of times since Tuesday. Features such as lift to wake are all on. The only one that isn't is always on display as I never find that very useful when lift to wake is active.
Battery is absolutely fine for me. I've always charged my phone's at night anyway so as long as it lasts all day with my usage its good. It would last about a day and half if i wasn't charging each night. Screen on time has been between 5-7 hours with battery left of at least 40% each evening. I've turned off AOD this morning to see if that makes much difference in the next couple days as well.
Finally a positive thread hopefully with real experiences and no trolls.

Wow how can it differ so much from other people's experiences.. Something is definitely wrong or off. Maybe 5g?
I don't own this device but would be interesting to test out battery life after trimming most of the Google spyware/scam processes, GAPPs completely replaced and extreme overall de-bloating/trimmed setup for max batt. I'm guessing the results may be quite impressive...

Definitely. I feel Google now, aod, constant listening for background music and being alert for "Hey Google" increases consumption big time
Mine is getting better and better every day. Like everyone should know, it takes a few cycles. I already accepted the fact that it will not be as good as my P5.
