My music is all in Google Music, my pictures all automatically upload to Google pics (Picassa), my apps are all saved in the Play Store. The only thing I backed up when I did my last FDR were my text messages. I also find that I tend to load only half to two thirds of my apps back after an FDR. There's always a bunch that got added on a whim, but never get used. Good opportunity to prune out the junk.

Another negative of Lollipop is that it removes the menu option to restart your phone by long pressing the on/off button. Stupid move IMO.

I have only had the Turbo for a few days now, but I am getting 30+ hours of battery life a day out of it consistently (with a little higher than moderately heavy usage as it is new and I am playing with it quite a bit).

As long as it makes it through the day and I can come home and set it on the charger every night - I am happy.

The only thing that gives me pause regarding this phone now is really only the camera...
Well..... I think most noteably You are getting 30+ hours a Day. That alone has Stephen Hawking making his way in your direction at like 3 mph.

Cell Standby on my Note 3 is 2%. I see a lot of turbo battery screenshots with the cell radio chewing up their battery.

Cell standby usage % is relative to the usage by other running items in the list. It's the total battery consumption by cell radio that would be a more accurate comparison. For example, my 21% cell radio standby may only translate to 2-3% total battery usage if my battery is at 90%.

After my first 30+ days with the Turbo my observation is that standby (or actually, total battery-on time) uses about 1%/hr and screen-on uses about 10%/hr. No matter how I mix and match those two variables (lots of screen time some days, lots of standby others) that formula usually comes pretty close to what my actual battery usage is at the end of the day. (not exact, but usually pretty close)

Well, I just got my Turbo this weekend and have been using it/playing with it like crazy...

It's going on 26 hours and I have 40% battery life left...

So... ?
Just keep it away from that pool!

At that rate it would last 39 hours. Not too shabby.

Had the Turbo almost a week now.
I am really loving this battery.
Going on 36 hours off the charger and I'm at 45% battery.
Not having to worry the slightest little bit about having to charge the phone in the afternoon of a heavy-use day is absolutely priceless.
This battery should be the standard or trying to improve on it for all phones from here on out.

Ok so I'm not sure how to get a screen shot, but my phone has been off the charger for 11 hours and has 43% battery left. Seems ok I guess but I have noticed that it seems to drain faster overnight. The other night, I went to bed and it had 52% but when I got up seven or eight hours later it was down to 27%. Does that sound right? I was thinking it would be better than this, since my old moto x seems to last longer with light use than this one.

Screen shot is taken by pressing and holding both the power and volume down buttons at once and for about 2 seconds. They're stored in your gallery under screenshot.

What is accupedo? I take it that is a pedometer? It may be causing your os to stay awake.

Please tap on the large graph at the top OP the first pic and snap a shot of the next screen for me.
