[One (M7) General] Basil3:
For me I just turn off data when I'm at work, and I plan to do the same when/if I get the One. I can't use my phone when I'm working anyway, and on my one x I world be on 70-80% at lunchtime instead of 50-60% if I had left my data on for no reason.

My signal is fairly poor at work as well, which has an impact.

I think this is the best description of the HTC One's battery.

Under heavy continous load (eg gaming) at 100nits of brightness, except about 3-4 hours of gaming.

Watching views, expect about 8 hours.

AW: Battery Life?

I put the one on a test today. I was driving and used my car charger I allways used on my one X.

I started with 32% battery used GPS and Bluetooth and ended after 1.5 hour with 60%. Navigation all the time plus 15 min phonecall. The battery on the one X would have been down to 20% in the same time.

Tomorrow I will test with full screen brightness and will see if the charger can still charge the phone.

For the moment I'm really impressed.
[One (M7) General] voltron2k11:
Incredible!! The One charges itself when in use .. nice :)

I assume you switched the numbers?
[One (M7) General] krzysiekh:
I am wondering how hot the phone got during the 1.5 hours?

Yes, the ONE charges itself when charging. very astute of you to notice. what's amazing is that it still charges with all the apps and processes acting in the back ground.
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
mightn't look great, but ive had wifi and gps on all day even though until around 3pm wifi wasn't connected. also even though only 2 or so hours of screen time i've really been hammering it this evening, doing a lot of downloading etc when screen is off too.

brightness is very interesting - note how on "dim" it seems to use less than half of what it does on my current setting (automatic) - the auto brightness is very generous and hopefully we will be able to tone that down soon!

edit. oh by the way, power saver was off all day too - i only just turned it on at 20%, and the only thing i am "power saving" is the screen brightness

should also add, i think this is fantastic - my Incredible S would have been dead after a third of what I have done today on my One
[One (M7) General] vapotrini:

This is what I got today... 3rd day with the phone. For me it's not enough! How are people getting a full day and still left with like 30% according to some reviews :/ unplugged at 11am, power saver turned on at 25% and the phone was at 1% come 9.30pm. Same thing happened yesterday and this is all at

() the lowest screen brightness,

() on wifi all day,

() auto sync on for like 2mins every couple of hours,

() no gaming,

() couple of YouTube videos,

() couple minutes on the phone,

() a load of texts,

In this forum I keep seeing people refer to a sony or lg phone as if those are actually phones worthy of comparison. . Maybe it's just cuz I live in the US,but here the idea of Sony or lg making a smartphone is laughable. I don't know what carrier carrier carries either of those clowns in the us. Granted, LGS new phone is on sprint, but seriously, that's the first time I've heard or either knucklehead device. Sony makes walkmans, and LG made good flip phones for cheap, .....you want quality, get HTC. Hell, that's what XDA was derived from. Don't believe me, Google XDA history.

How do you trouble shoot wake locks anyway? Much less sort them out.
[One (M7) General] Dr. lele:
Check out Greenify from the Play Store and hibernate apps with high usage in Gsam Battery Monitor. It hibernates Apps if they are minimized. Really useful for facebook and Google Maps and so on. Should really help against wake locks.

But the 5 hrs of usage I saw here are really promising. With my DHD I get about 2 hrs in idle, so the One will be a real improvement.
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
Hi All,

Ive had the one since Friday.

I found at first battery life was bit crappy, would last me a full day but would die at the end .

So i thought hmm whats draining my battery, installed some things did some looking in, was getting big wakelock from google maps.

I turned off google now and some location services and it made a huge difference, so my advice if your having trouble, turn off google now

and see what its like after.
[One (M7) General] simpelsense:
Why you think i switched the numbers? i just wanted to state, that the device is charging even if your navigation and using gps and stuff.

The HTC ONE X was not able to do so.

Didn't get more then hand-warm. Much less then playing a game with heavy grafics and even then its not hot.

Today i tested with full screen brightness and navigation phone still consumes less power then the charger provides.

[One (M7) General] paravorheim:
We need standardized results

Guys, asking about daily usage battery life doesn't really help anyone. Everyone's usage will be different, so each persons mileage may vary. What we need are standardized battery life tests across numerous devices in order to make a fair and unbiased comparison. This is why I appreciate AnandTech reviews more than other reviews when it comes to their battery life testing.

EDIT: Which is also why I didn't understand how everyone gave the Verge a bad rap for their critical review on the One's battery life just because some other reviews gave good marks for it. The Verge had a pretty standardized battery life test, which was also compared to multiple competing phones. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a better measure of battery life?
[One (M7) General] accord99:
The Verge review got a bad rap because they didn't use their standardized test, it was based on the reviewers usage.

And even when they do it's inconsistent, such as when the Droid DNA was rated poor for battery life even though it outlasted the Verizon GS3 which was rated good.
[One (M7) General] GonzoDuke:
This is normal usage for me. This includes just over an hour of HD video and some Real Racing as well as other games, push emails, twitter , facebook, web browsing and at least an hour of youtube.

Pretty happy with it!
[One (M7) General] paravorheim:
Thanks for correcting me, for some reason I thought that the Verge did use their standardized test. I guess it's unfortunate that the reviews are just posted ASAP to generate more pageviews. I think for a good battery test we should wait for the Anandtech Review. Does anyone know if Engadget did a standardized battery life test?
[One (M7) General] CreepyDroid:
They used their standardized test with the second unit but the test itself isn't really fair since it's based on brightness % and does ot consider display nits difference.

Does the One have the same terrible aggressive multitasking setup that the One X had? The thing I absolutely hated about the One X is that if you left an application you'd almost always have to reload it when you went back to it. There was no way (in stock) to override this feature. The multitasking on the One X is almost the same as Windows Phone 7.0.

[One (M7) General] allmine1976:
Obviously this is not real . Who ever it was probably had the gsam app set to stats since last charge and then after fully charging his one the proceeded to do some top charges . Seriously I couldn't get those stats with my gnote 2 which has better battery life than the one .

[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
Six hours of screen time tells me that it's legit.

This is worthless. Screen on time is the most useful, and absolute necessary stat to determine good or poor battery life.
[One (M7) General] puremind:
50% of One's brightness is still higher than 50% of Note II's brightness, so even at 50% brightness the One has some battery reserves in the form of reducible brightness.

Was not confident with HTC one battery stats.

But, after using butterfly for few days now, I seriously believe one can do very well.

Seriously, slcd3 seems to use less battery.

I'm getting 4+ hours with butterfly for my daily use. Previously got 2-2.5 hours on same usage pattern with my one x.

Video play gives 5-6 hours on butterfly with its 5" display, 2020mah battery and S4pro.

HTC one will definitely will be better with 4.7 display and 2300 mah battery.

Those who worry about battery, simply don't worry. It will be the best in HTC phones till today.
[One (M7) General] Alsybub:
I was concerned about battery life but I've been pleasantly surprised. It's better than my Sensation which had light to medium usage and, even with an Anker battery, just about lasted a day. My One, currently with medium to heavy usage, is between 30 and 40% when I put it on charge, when I go to bed.

It's by no means a scientific test but it would seem very good on the face of it. I'm impressed.
