I need 3 days battery on low usage (offline maps and IRC, plus checking calendar every so and so often, etc), and one whole day (24 hours) with full usage.

The only way I could get it was by throwing every single Google service out, disabling most location services [1], reducing screen brightness (seriously, fuck Lollipop for the new slider), and so on.

And it was also only possible with the Moto G.

–— [1] if I turn on Google WiFi location, it just ends up constantly enabling GPS, then connecting to the internet, then waiting 2 minutes, then again, I suspect it’s trying to map out WiFi network strength, because no one in my city actually ever ran around with an Android phone with WiFi and location enabled at the same time, and Google never bothered to send their StreetView cars here
