Hello, I bought my HTC one recently changing from iPhone 5 and HTC butterfly(which I barely used). If you know what iPhone 5 can do in terms of battery life then don't expect the ONE to beat it. I can't give you the exact in screen times etc because I haven't got around to installing the needed soft for that. But generally there is a problem with standby time (weirdly wasn't present on the ONE x) it seems maps always searches for GPS and that drains 15 % overnight (iPhone drains 1 percent) i know this is probably to do with some of the features like Google now that can be turned off but that's not the point, on my iPhone I never switch any of the features (Bluetooth GPS etc is always on)

When using the ONE the battery also drains pretty rapidly which can't be said about it's charging which takes (as usual) an absolute age. As an android it performs very well but those who had the iPhone before will have to change their usage habits. The 1.7 quad-core processor which is one of the main battery drainers on the ONE is absolutely useless on a phone running android the games still have the crap graphics and lag slightly which is nowhere near the type of performance you'd get from an iPhone's shy dual core. (And don't tell me it's because of the screen, the extra 1000 mah should more than compensate for this diffirence)

The iPhone for me has a worse battery life. If you disable google now you will see that they are around the same. Personally the One is better for me. The iPhone has nothing like google now checking location every so often so thats probably why your battery life is better.
[One (M7) General] sebsal:
Totally non scientific, but the battery is lasting me twice as long as my One X did.

Though my One X wasn't too bad until they updated it to Jellybean, then it was shocking:mad:

A normal days use which involves using Facebook, checking email and surfing at lunchtime, then using Spotify for the hours drive home, it still have between 60-70% by 7pm. One X would be between 30% and dead

I did turn off Google Now because maps was causing wakelocks when it was on
[One (M7) General] prfrma:
Yeah, I don't think many android users understand the difference in how iOS uses battery compared to Android. You'll get used to it, but Android has a long way to go.

HTC One is considered *average* in android battery performance, given that my last phone was the HTC One X, the HTC One should be a big jump for me in terms of battery and general performance.
[One (M7) General] aslan93:
True but I have so many apps on the iPhone which use push notifications etc which are constantly on: Facebook, Russian Facebook, twitter(3 apps), various messengers all working, tapatalk etc. and when they all work the battery just doesn't drain..

Also I don't see the point of inventing google now which is only useful when it tracks everything you do and everywhere you go if they haven't yet figured out how to make it not eat your battery :)

To be honest, I was never an apple fanboy and used to change phones (normally android) all the time, like every week because every new one would be slightly better than the old one(have a non pentile screen, or something )but once I bought the iPhone 5 in September I haven't used another phone at all. It's that good, and with jailbreak now you can have all the 'androidy' customisations you want it's really really great. The HTC one in my opinion was so nice that It made me change my phone for the first time since last September when I bought the iPhone and so far I see that everything is pretty much the same (apart from sense) android hasn't got any faster really and the Apps on the play store are still exactly the same :)) I do love the one though its such a brilliant bit of hardware
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
Yes stock rom

Texts, some phonecalls, whatsapp, instagram, take some pictures, facebook, Twitter, browsing internet, watching YouTube videos, check hotmail and gmail every couple hours, couple rounds on temple run 2 and that was about it for the usage yesterday so it was a normal day for me! And unlike some people I actually USED the phone.

haha yup that was me :P well I factory reset my phone. I was getting many wakelocks from 'mediaserver' so I used this tool to search my music collection for corrupt mp3s, found some corrupt songs and deleted them. I generally use my phone on the lowest brightness, outdoors even at 15% brightness I can easily see the screen. I only turned brightness up kinda high when I'm showing someone pictures or a video. Yesterday was the day I decided to turn off blinkfeed so I don't know if that helped but it seems like it did! And some other stuff I can't remember.

I'm not sad enough to Photoshop haha plus I don't really know how to use Photoshop :/ awkward. I never put my phone in aeroplane mode as you can see from my 3rd screenshot :P

Yes, yesterday I came back to my parents house and I seem to be in 3-5 bars most of the time so I get good signal. That obviously does help as normaly I struggle to get above 2 bars, I'm normally either on 0-2 bars :/ lol
[One (M7) General] allmine1976:
Having had every iPhone so far I do understand the battery performance on ios . It was good up until the iPhone 4s then it became terrible especially the iPhone 5 . I've also owned lots of phones on Android - HTC desire hd , one x both crap on battery , galaxy s2 battery life was alright , galaxy s3 which has good battery life ( better than iPhone 4s & 5 ) galaxy note 2 which had by far the best battery life of any phone I've owned so far producing 9 hours of screen time and 24 hours up time and now the HTC one where I've managed 6.36 hours screen time with 17 hours on time . Also with most the android phones I've mentioned have been running live wallpapers , widgets running in the background and on a much bigger screen than iPhone .

Conclusion ios sucks and on a phone that has looked pretty much the same for 3 years and has a small screen .
[One (M7) General] prfrma:
Average iOS battery life on the "terrible" iPhone 5 with 80% brightness and push mail.

Seriously, grow up.
[One (M7) General] beno619:
Does usage equal screen on ?
[One (M7) General] allmine1976:
Haha , like that's any proof of battery life . The phone was probably in airplane mode . Seriously all you have to do is go on any iPhone forum and you will find countless amounts of threads complaining about poor battery life . The most I ever got was 5 hours with 12 hours on time .
[One (M7) General] Squpix:
No! It's the time the device was not in standby (processing tasks, like fetching mail etc.). There's no "screen on" counter in iOS.
[One (M7) General] rkial:
I dont know what you guys are talking about.. i have a 2.5 year old iPhone 4.. had 450 charge cycles and still get pretty good battery life if I'm not wrecking it with games.

8 hrs screen time is totally believable. I've used it for over 3 days on a charge if I'm on wifi.
[One (M7) General] allmine1976:
Actually it was the iPhone 5 battery life we were commenting on not the iPhone 4. The iPhone 4 had good battery life .
[One (M7) General] tehdef:
This is not an iphone battery thread. It's a one battery thread. Stay on topic. Comparing iPhone to one is stupid. It's apples to oranges. You don't compare battery life of android to iOS because they function different. Please stop.
[One (M7) General] rkial:
Ah. No idea about the iphone 5.

Anyway.. the One's battery looks decent. Brian still hasnt posted his review.. he's taking his time.
[One (M7) General] deagleone:
AW: Battery Life?

Your talking about a 3.5" display...

This is the "ONE" section, a Device where the gpu has for the weather clock more triangles to render than the iphones for their whole Screen's!

So do not compare homecinema with imax...

one'ed....
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Well my phone isn't dead yet but I have gotten a day out of it with 4 hours screen on time which is good for me :) no power saver. It has been on wifi most of the day I imagine that's helped loads.
[One (M7) General] aydc:
iPhone 5 has phenomenal battery life with just a 1440 mah battery. Put that in any Android phone and be prepared to use it for 2 hours max before running out. iPhone is a fantastic piece of engineering. Denying that only reveals that you're an Android fanboi.
[One (M7) General] prfrma:
Rubbish,

If we can't compare one phone with another (because there all phones at the end of the day) comparing 4.7" phones with 5.5" phablets shouldn't be allowed either. In every objective test, the iPhone comes high, whine all you like about the tiny screen but it's a design choice that lets it get the battery life of some of the more humungous phones/mini tablets out there.

The reason why it's important, and the very reason why this came up, is because someone has just switched over from iPhone to HTC without knowing what to expect.

It's just a shame that even here, the word apple still turns enough of you into prepubesent ass-hats unable to control themselves from pissing on *just another brand*.
[One (M7) General] deagleone:
AW: Battery Life?

Yupp iPhone is the best for battery! hail apple, hail ios, hail steve.

mhhhh checked my old nokia 3310! hail nokia...

And yes its not a problem to compare a android phablet, with an android phone.

But comparing ios with android is equal to compare my old nokia with my old iphone, or as formerly written...

Dont compare homecinema with imax!

[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
I believe ip***e "Usage" time is not equivalent to screen on time, i think it counts everything the phone is doing, syncing or whatever, to usage time whether the screen is on or not, so the 2 are very different.
[One (M7) General] gsusx:
iphone 4s battery life was crap, 5 isnt much better (possibly worse) but iphone 4 was really really good, to be fair the iphone 4 is probably one of the best phones ever made ...

Agreed about the iPhone 5 best battery I've had in a phone minus the Notes.
[One (M7) General] cihanleanne:
İm sorry but its pile of rubbish. my wife has an iphone 5 its no where near galaxy s3 when i used for a week couldnt get half a day. where do everyone get this rubbish 8 hours video playback 8 hours browsing. its not true not even half of it. my sister has xperia ray which last 2 days easy. i believe even full hs screen HTC One will eat iphone
[One (M7) General] :
Android users are so defensive when Apple is mentioned. It's sad and almost pathetic to read.

Back to talking about the One can we instead of hating on something that's just a phone?
[One (M7) General] cihanleanne:
İ am not android or İOS fan i use whatever is good i have ipad 4 love it my wife has iphone 5 georgous screen but battery life is exaggerated thats what i am saying i can say iphone 4 was beatiful wheb it was relised. but batterylife galaxy s3 superb and xperia ray
[One (M7) General] pewpewbangbang:
God, who cares......I have an iPhone 5, but if the HTC One has amazing battery life, well that's really great.

If you think the iPhone 5 battery life or any iPhone's battery life is bad, well then......I don't know what to say because it's one of the best in the market no questions asked (I've owned almost all the iPhones except before the 3GS and the 4s. I've also owned nearly all android phones from Samsung and the One X). If you want to go by official tests, just look at GSMarenas tests. It's at the top pretty much for web browsing time (which is one of the most important IMO) and a top contender in general.

There is of course that GSMarena snapshot of the HTC One with 10 hours web browsing, which puts it ahead of the iPhone and is astonishing, I'm all for it.

Stop with the BS about the iPhone being on a smaller screen etc....the much smaller battery virtually nullifies all of that. We're comparing battery life to battery life......you think in racing the people care if the winner's car was lighter but also had a smaller engine, we're all strictly looking at the times.

All in all, if the HTC One's battery life is like the GSMarena test, then it's easily one of the best if not the best contenders in battery life and that's amazing especially because I love the build quality.

If your having battery issues, check your wake locks, in the HTC battery info page, if screen on doesn't almost perfectly match the usage all the time throughout the day then you probably have a rogue app or something and fixing it will yield much better battery life.
[One (M7) General] thekillingroad:
Exactly.

Using an iPhone due to shattering my One X for about 3 weeks, iPhone usage time is not the exact screen on time with Android.

Besides, mine may not be a perfect example for comparison but iP4's (iOS 6.1.3) battery life is not much better than my HOX's. A close friend of mine is also complaining a lot about his iP5's battery life from day one.

It's not pathetic of course, iPhone and iOS has some nice strengths as being a single device for a single platform, though I'm still having a hard time getting used to the limitations of the iOS. Can't say happy with it, annoys me a lot during the day, but no reason to hate it either. :)

A bare truth is that iOS is a more power efficient OS, but also a Lotus Elise is a more fuel efficient car compared to an M3. Also they are identical in acceleration (till some point and if we're talking about the E46 M3 :) ) But there is another truth that you don't have as much things to do in an Elise, compared to an M3.

Must say that it is also very ignorant to say that iPhone is serving same or better battery time with lower capacity batteries. It is possible to compare Android phones like the One's being more efficient than S4 (probably) since they are using the same core, but comparing very different platforms with JUST mAh capacity is senseless. Then tell your Cook to boost a 2000+mAh battery to save your lives and be the unique ones among smartphone users world to last 2-3 days moderate usage! :)

Well that's what I got and it's weird.

If that is not an aftermarket 500Ah charger (which is the dealbraker and should be left out to compare anything) any phone can charge itself UP while using anything.
[One (M7) General] brizzle7:
Can we please keep this on topic?

I don't really understand the wake lock business. My experience has been if you don't touch the phone, battery is great but use it for WhatsApp or browsing, then it absolutely munches battery life quicker than anything else I've experienced.

Batterylife is great:D

A day Full of gaming and so on^^
[One (M7) General] rkial:
Hey.. how much does gaming for about 30 mins drain? 10, 15 , 20%?
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
I played hungry shark evolution for around 30mins and lost 7%
[One (M7) General] rkial:
That is amazing.

The One X drained about 35% for an hour.. my current phone (iphone4) uses up about 20% for an hour.. It'd be amazing if the One could come close to matching it..
[One (M7) General] Zahid Ali:
Does phone gets hot??
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
It gets a bit warmer but no where near as hot as the one x did last year.
[One (M7) General] Cryosx:
7 hours looking pretty good :D
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
here is a wakelock!

Havent had it since, i had removed a bunch of dodgy mp3's but ive also removed a few apps so hopefully it is gone.

Still getting issue with wakelocks for audioout_4 (speakers) and facebook.

Getting very good stats since i removed the big wakelock.

Had very light use over past few days but atm my stats are:

1d 11hrs on battery, 54% left.

low brightness, 1 hour screen on, 26 hours signal (the rest in air plane mode), 4 hours wifi on, no 3g at all.

very light usage, 5 mins of call, about 50 texts.

Means in weekday at work i can easily get 2 full days off it.

On weekends im getting a good full day of heavier usage.
[One (M7) General] hongsit:
@yvibes, Hey did you sort out your battery issue?
[One (M7) General] XDA mark:
7 hours of screen on time? Is this for real :eek: I don't want to be rude, but what did you exactly do with your phone? Because that sounds incredible! I want this phone now :crying:
[One (M7) General] allmine1976:
10 hours of airplane mode according to the screen shot .
[One (M7) General] Cryosx:
While he was sleeping though, ~3am to ~12pm
[One (M7) General] Kennedya12:
I'm sure a lot of those are people with brightness on the absolute lowest setting. Wifi on, power save on and everything else turned off. Certainly not real world use for me.
[One (M7) General] Cryosx:
I suppose. For me though this seems very similar to my usage though I'll probably end up forcing deep sleep with DS battery saver which would hopefully increase battery life. Anyway all I really care about is the screen on time. If it can last 7+ hours of pure web browsing i'll be happy.

As far as the brightness settings, I think they just leave it on auto. Power save is supposed to reduce brightness at all levels.
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
Yh man, just used a tool to find corrupt mp3s and delete them! Since then the media server has been really really low.

yes this is my second day with 7 hours of screen on time, check my older posts. I've answered this question many many times.

Well.... I have answered to posts like this multiple times! There are obviously many people who are finding it hard to believe as someone told me yesterday that I used photoshop, this is the second day i got 7hours. This is like the 5th time explaining how but here we go! Everyone had different usage so results may vary. I got 7hours screen on time for last 2 days, 1stly, I have had the phone for over a week so its had its fair charge cycles now :P for me the lowest brightness is fine, I can clearly view the screen, I only the up the brightness to about 20% when I'm outside or to 50% when I'm showing someone pictures or a video. I had auto sync turned off, only turning it on every couple of hours for about 5mins, until everything syncs and the n turning it off. I checked my Facebook, Twitter, instagram, WhatsApp, txt msgs, phone calls, took a couple pictures and a couple zoes. I browsed the Internet, spent a lot of time on xda. Watched some YouTube videos and played a couple rounds on temple run 2. Did pretty much anything I do on a normal day!

I used this tool to check for corrupt mp3s that were causing any wake locks, found them and deleted them. Since then I have been getting good battery life and less wake locks. Also, I disabled blink feed because I got bored of it and since then I have got 7hrs screen on time. So it looks like blinkered does drain battery. I can go on and on but I have literally forgotten all the other things. I am on stock rom btw
[One (M7) General] brizzle7:
I know that it's a lot of questions but which tool is it that you used and also how did you disable blinkfeed?
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
1) check this thread, this fixed my media server wakelock issue

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1717237

2) just go into topics and services in blinkfeed and uncheck everything
[One (M7) General] gelo01:
May i ask if what's the tool that you used to find corrupt mp3s?
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
Ive been having some wakelock issues.

GSAm batt was saying it was media server, but wakelock dector was saying it audioout_4 (the speaker)

I have done some investigation and the thing causing my issues was real racing 3.

If you dont close it properly it keeps audio4 turned on and causes big wakelock issues, so either unistall or make

sure your hold down back to quit from it fully.

[One (M7) General] jmbillings:
So far my battery life is great. Even with light use, my Galaxy Nexus needed plugging in by around 8pm a lot of the time. Yesterday my One was on 76% still! Admittedly I'd not done a huge amount with it but still impressive.
[One (M7) General] desiregeek:
I also have owned quite a few smartphones and until now I have found that the Samsung Note 2 lasts the longest of them all of which I have owned. I currently have an iPhone 5, Samsung Note 2 and HTC One X. All 3 of them have 4G and the HTC One and iPhone 5 have the worst battery life while running off of 4G in Hong Kong but back in Taiwan running off of 3G they are not too bad but still bad compared to my Samsung Note 2 battery life.
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
Sorry if someone already asked it...

On my One (more than) 50% of battery used is due to HTC Sense.

Since I have no Blinkfeed sync active, nor Live Background, etc, what could be done to lower that value?

In other words, what's exactly related to that HTC Sense usage info?

Thanks. :cowboy:
[One (M7) General] BenPope:
So that's the Evita (dual core Snapdragon /One XL) , not the Endouvour (quad core Tegra 3) right?
[One (M7) General] desiregeek:
I bought the One X with 4G in Hong Kong and not the One XL. Battery life on that one while using 4G in Hong Kong is pretty pathetic. One pretty much needs to switch off 3G and 4G and just GSM unless they want to surf the net and get something really really quickly downloaded or else their battery won't last very long.
[One (M7) General] mstrblueskys:
I have Sense 5 flashed on my HTC EVO 4G LTE and I can tell you that Sense 5 is MUCH more efficient than Sense 4+. My battery life was at 50% after medium use on 3 and 4G. It is awesome - better than any rom I have tried so far.

Well, my One battery just died with 42hrs on the clock. I didn't use it heavily but checked some emails and surfed at lunch time, took a few photos but didn't play any games over the course of 2 days.

As a comparison, the same type of usage on my One X got me about 14 hours so I'm very pleased
[One (M7) General] epicfailguy2:
Does anyone know what is the maximum "screen on time" the one achieved at MAXIMUM luminosity settings without the battery saver mode enabled ? Thanks. It's just for comparison to the Exynos Octa S4 that achieved around 4hours and 20 minutes of browsing (with 40min of video and 20 minutes of temple run) at this test.
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
That's a **** test. Why would you purposely set up a test to penalize brighter screens? The One's LCD is anywhere from 100 to 250 nits brighter.
[One (M7) General] epicfailguy2:
I think it's a fair test, given SAMOLED consumes more power than LCD even if its max brightness is lower. It's by no mean a real use test, just wondering how much you can get out of a htc one when you use it at max brightness all the time. We already know the 7hours screen time in auto or low brightness is likely the maximum the htc one can get and it is already beating any SAMOLED device in this usage scenario.
