The Moto G5's battery is absolutely dog s*** can't believe that people are getting over a day with this phone. When the phone's screen is off that's when it great. When it's on it's crap!! Help?
Could you share your screen on time? I am still satisfied with battery performance of my moto g5, even though the battery is not large enough and the chipset really consume a lot of power,

Don't know what you're doing but I use my phone non stop all day and right now after I unplugged it at 7am this morning I still have 66% left at 4pm
Obviously if you are playing high demanding games it will drain quicker but Iv been using wifi and apps all day no problems

Actually, the battery is quite good. Even with stock ROM. Even with .15 ROM (that's what I have right now).
But I have disabled Moto Display and few other things, perhaps this helps a bit.
You should try to find out what eats your battery. In worst case, try Factory Reset.

Don't know if any one noticed but the moto g5 kernel has performance as the default scheduler. Not really the best for battery life at all.

So recently my battery life went from absolutely amazing to terrible (just went from 100% to 83 percent with 30 min SOT and 3 hrs off the charger) does anyone know a good app that will tell me what the hell is digging through my battery life so bad? The only thing I have connected is the android wear watch, and surely that wouldn't hinder my battery life that much, would it? Thanks to anyone that replies, I just want my old battery life back.

Mine has been terrible since the NK3 OTA as well. It's a shame that they couldn't just leave it alone. I was enjoying it so much more when I was squeezing 5 hours SOT.
after taking the NK3 update, my battery life was still amazing, until tonight. I didnt update anything (no app updates and no new apps installed) but my battery went from 50% to 30% in about 10 minutes. I cleared cache and rebooted and it went from 30% to 0% in about 15 minutes. I dont understand why all of a sudden, it died so quickly. Only thing I can think of is that I switched to ART about two days ago. It was fine until this evening, when the phone completely fell on its face. It was running extremely slow, even after I killed all running apps, thats when the battery dropped. I'm switching back to dalvik and we'll see what happens.

I'm still on dalvik, so that isn't the problem. They have probably done something that has messed with a radio or something to set up the enhanced 4G services.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one experiencing this. This tells me that it isn't a rogue app.
OK guys, here is an odd question. What do you do for a living? Is there anyone that would benefit by listening in to your device? I know it sounds weird, but your phone may be active when you think it isn't, including the camera, mics, GPS etc. I get these unexplained battery drains too, and my wife has the identical device and near identical app setup (and we both have the update) and her battery is much better. Its one of only two things i can think of.
Here's the other: not using the supplied charger. I regularly use other chargers when my wife refuses to do so.
Anyway, just my mad ideas

In all honesty I went through and found a bunch of apps I personally don't use to disable, such as instagram and some other apps such as that, you may also want to see if your mobile signal is having issues or your wifi is having issues, both those items will cause battery drain, I turned off a bunch of apps and my phones been unplugged for almost 6 hours and I have over an hour of that as screen time, I'm down to 88%, I work at att so I'm always showing my phones off and demoing them, I disabled 21 apps I have no use fore and my free ram is just about a gig, you just gotta dig a bit to find what's always on.

I used task killer, found any apps that were running which I didn't use and disabled or Un-installed them. Then went from there as to what else ran I didn't want.
My wife keeps on bugging me that after the update her battery on her note 4 is ****ty to the point that it would drain in 6 hours.
Go to the thread where you disable Knox.. It has a adb command you can send to phone that disables close to 100 apps.. Try it and see if it helps.

Were you experiencing issues before?
not sure what you mean by bad.. every one's usage of the phone is different.. i was getting around 4 hours OST.. when using the phone regularly.. playing CoC, answering emails, whatsapp, messaging...
sometime i got 3 hours.. some time i got 5.. some time it ran away so i had to reboot.
i believe about 75% that disabling some of the software did help with battery life while the phone is sleeping. but i've only recently disabled bunch of stuff
Been using this phone for over a month now and always has bad battery life as compared to what others are getting.. about 4 hours sot with over 20 hours on battery and it used to reach 10% battery level ?.. yeah it's bad... So I unlocked, rooted and installed greenify and amplify and amplify showed the cause... Take a look at this.. so the only way to fix this is to flash a custom stock based ROM right ?
I'm worried about that rijl wake lock.. radio issues ? I always keep my phone on 2g to get even batter battery life but sad situation for me here folks
thinking 4-5 is bad because you got 10 once. Hm...
I don't think anyone has been able to get 10 hours screen on time on a single charge on any phone.......

Just remove all the Google Apps, especially Google Now. It's wakelocking the phone like crazy, because it's recording your location for example.

RILJ is caused by Google Play Services, not by OP3 itself.
Get rid off GApps or just deal with it.
I use my phone for maps and GPS a lot because I drive all day for my job. It doesn't even last half my shift (and it's a six-hour shift). Is there any way to improve battery life? It's not rooted.
Well, on smartphones screen still uses about 50% of power and since you have gps on whole time it's normal to have phone last that much what you can do is to lower screen brightness or buy car charger. How much hours does it takes before batery is low?

I stated in the OP that my phone is not rooted.
Should also note that I don't have a custom recovery yet.
First, all smartphones have and will have the problem with battery duration, but it depends on how much do you use the device, and how.
Then, if you're not rooted you won't be able to do much with it.
What model is your LG K10?

Half of the calls had no audio for me wit LOS 15.1. I definitely did not do anything wrong, I did your flashing sequence with total wipe. It was also draining battery and getting hot. I have no clue how it can work for some people and not for the others.

Maybe you should properly calibrate battery once new rom is installed. That helped me before.

I don't have a battery screenshot right now. But I definitely don't notice much drain when the phone is idle. I get 3-4h SoT per day with 20-30 percent left. I use bluetooth in the car a lot and always have it on, almost always on wifi. Don't notice any drainage when on LTE though.

I found out where the cause is.It's the location setting.Default location setting is high accuracy,which costs a lot of battery life.I turned it off and it's all fine now.9 hours idle,4 hours SOT,40% battery left.Really satisfied with that.

I really dont know the reason. But one thing is that because I came from MIUI, after flashing the RR, i do the "format user data" just to make sure everything is clean for a different kind of Rom. It would be a bit hassle to copy things back to the phone, but I just have to do that format thing once.
Also I use greenify with aggressive doze. That's it

I have no audio on calls - again. This is really starting to piss me off. If no one else has this, then it must be a problem with my phone. I have never tested it with miui to be honest, I flashed custom roms right away. I guess now I need to go back to stock to see if the issue persists.

Battery drain, overnight is about 20%. I have disabled 5G, but not much improvement. Is this a defective unit? I'm on Vodafone. I'm still in return window.

It has been fixed in recent updates.
However drain is still significant but not caused by WiFi now.
As you can see Android+Kernel drains over 30% of my battery. Is it normal in recent Android versions?

Tbh it kind of came out of know where
I updated to the xxv Vietnamese firmware for may update as it said it had stability fixes (AVDF) where as mine xsa Australia (AVDD) said only security, I flashed my csc though
Did a battery recalibration and it hit abother level
Adaptive battery on
All apps to sleep except fb, messenger, and emails etc
Got rid of all the bloatware I don't need
Used the galaxy app booster after updating
Manual brightness at roughly 50%
Adaptive display but 120 - 30hz instead of 48
A heap of bixby routines so I can keep location bt and nfc off till needed etc
Galaxy max hz app so phone sleeps as soon as it's off as well as changing Adaptive display while powersaving mode but changed it so 96hz - 30
I'm contemplating rooting but scared I'm gonna lose my good battery life after resetting
