Moto Z Droid Battery Issue

[Tj78]

Everything! I was told by chat I just need to upgrade. How is there not a fix? It's obvious others have the same issue.  I have done all the troubleshooting, factory reset, health check, and more! It drains drastically and has random shutdowns.

JosephT_VZW,

Thank you for following up on my concern. I am on WiFi & LTE. And have been using the phone with those since I got the phone. But the phone dying prematurely didn't use to happen.

I've been monitoring the phone dying again for the last week and it appears to happen at any random time (on web, opening photos, trying to take a photo, etc).

Thank you anyway but the phone ended up dying and I had to get a new one.

SELAHJRIC, I appreciate the follow-up details that you have provided. Besides the aforementioned changes you have described, have you made any other recent changes to your phone?

Looking forward to hearing back.

No water damage at all... and it lasts less then 2 hours on a full charge. I am using the same type charger that it came with- the Motorola Turbo. The original died so I had to replace it but I did so with an original Motorola brand Turbo charger. My husband has the same phone, bought on the same day and it isn't doing this. I still have not seen any fix and I am starting to believe my phone may have the same issues as the iPhones that were recently discovered to have time limited batteries installed. That will not make us happy.

Thanks for confirming. I would be just as shocked to know that my battery is draining at an alarming rate. I am eager for you to be met with a long lasting resolution. I can see why you would not be ecstatic to find out about the limited time battery. However, this finding would be quite unusual seeing that your husband is not being impacted. Please make sure your software is up to date: http://spr.ly/6584Eux4k

What apps have you downloaded around the time your device started to drain the battery? I ask because certain third-party apps can cause battery drainage. Please test this out by using Safe Mode. All third-party apps will be paused, so please continue using your device as is and let me know of the battery activity. http://spr.ly/6585Eux4Z

I don't know how to run my phone in safe mode. How long do I have to run it

that way?

No worries, ROCK7X7. I can definitely clarify some details. To place your device into 'Safe Mode', follow the steps in the link below:

As for how long to leave your device in 'Safe Mode', I recommend ensuring that your device is fully charged and leaving 'Safe Mode' enabled for 20 minutes and see if you notice the dramatic change. Does this make sense?
