Disabled all unused apps, especially facebook and few others (don't disable Google apps,as it will cause lags!), since then have this battery backup. Stock ROM, no mods. Set network to WCDMA preferred.

[One (M7) General] aspot72:
Unfortunately, my "old pal" HOX, is nowhere near to One. Getting max 14 hours with moderate usage :-\
[One (M7) General] djason89:
App usage is 5.3%. He barely even used the phone.
[One (M7) General] Magpir:
I think setting to wcdma will off the gsm radio and it means better battery life . Testing it now . Results are giving positive signs but need a full day to test
[One (M7) General] mahdibassam:
Around 19 hours gone by and I'm down to 12% with moderate to heavy usage .

Brilliant in my opinion. If u want decent batery life, stay AWAY from custom kernels. I'm on trickdroid with stock kernel. When I was on bulletproof or faux kernel I couldn't get more than 8-10 hours.
[One (M7) General] syaoran68:
i'm on the se7en kernel and i get fantastic battery life as you can see above. i have some pretty crappy wakelocks from facebook and line but those are my most heavily used apps so i dont want to greenify them and i still get 2 hours of screen on time through 50% i'm pretty happy with that lols
[One (M7) General] dorezen:
approximate screen on time? one thing i'm not digging 4.1 is that the latest battery info is a huge step back from 4.0, where it showed screen on time, talk time, etc info.
[One (M7) General] oilers2010:
Unfortunately I didn't take as screenshot of that.
[One (M7) General] Dreadsteel:
What google apps are you talking about? also what does setting it to wcdma preferred do for your battery life?

Thanks
[One (M7) General] Tuborg68:
Just started to play around with my new H1. Messed around with the tv remote for a while and now when I check battery stats IR remote is the second highest on consumption. So IR blaster is little battery hog, atleast for me :)

I'm guessing you never use the phone. Can we get a SS of this.
[One (M7) General] jcorv58:
I'd like to know which apps as well. I've been trying to find what process to freeze for gtalk since I'm still getting wakelocks from it, gtalk is uninstalled.

As far as wcdma, if I'm not mistaken, it is better to have this selected so it picks up 3G/4G signals and stay instead of -gsm/wcdma auto which will be switching between 2G and 3G constantly. Unless you are in a bad 3G area then probably best to keep on gsm/wcdma auto. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone, that's how I understood it.

[One (M7) General] Dreadsteel:
Maybe someone here can help me with this.

I recently flashed the cm 10.1 rom to test. And now that I restored my backup from cwm (ARHD 8.0), I am now getting new wakelocks that I have never heard of before. Especially this wake lock called "NIpCollectorWakeLock"

any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance.
[One (M7) General] Magpir:
According to posts on the internet , WCDMA (only ) setting improves battery life under certain circumstances where the 3g coverage is always good ( small highly connected developed city states ) or when certain frequencies are not available from your carrier or simply because of hardware power management on certain phones . It seems that it keeps only 1 radio on instead of 2 for auto. This may explain why 4g drains battery . Because it keeps 3 radios on all the time .

So itts dependent on a variety of factors. Bst thing as always is to try out and compare
[One (M7) General] godutch:
I got pretty poor battery life, from what I have seen from my gf's HOS I would have expected about 4-5 days of battery life with light to moderate use but I can just make a day. I get a lot of MSM_HSIC_HOST wakelocks (about 2.5 hours in 14 hours) and some other wakelocks which also start with MSM_

Googling the issue seems I am not alone and the One is not the only device, the SGS4, Experia Z, Nexus 4 and LG Optimus G all seem affected too. The dutch site tweakers reports that some android phones have a bug which makes them run out of battery fast with a vodafone sim but they never specified the bug, so since I am on vodafone I wonder if they mean the msm_hsic_host wakelock bug. I hope an update will come along but I am not very hopeful it will happen anytime soon, it might be a hard bug to track and fix
[One (M7) General] DevShaft:
On the Xperia Z I resolved it by disabling Fast Dormancy. Vodafone in The Netherlands does not support it and thus drained battery.
[One (M7) General] godutch:
Okay I tried to find out a way to disable fast dormancy on the One (without rooting) but I couldn't find a solution :(
[One (M7) General] gsusx:
i think you may well be right.... forcing it to one particular band would probably help otherwise it will search around for whatever it can find ....

going to try the same myself later
[One (M7) General] Fidelcastrol:
I'm nearing the end of my first battery cycle.

So far, phone has been on for 16 hours on 3G network, intense use, 3h OST with 20% battery remaining.

I sent nearly 90 sms yesterday, with 30 mins call, 200mb downloaded on 3g, 700mb downloaded of Wifi. Played a lot with my phone, watching YT videos and surfing on the internet while in transports. Of course sync all the time.

I think I can squeeze another hour without problem, which gives me 4h OST with what I'll call an "intensive usage", because let's be serious, I only put the phone down because I went to sleep (it lost 1% in 7 hours btw, impressive)

Mind you, that's on stock rom.
[One (M7) General] MDLSoft:
There is a lot of difference between different One. Mine looks very poor and I don't know how to improve battery life. I disabled Line app, Maps.. but low battery life as you can see in the screenshot:
[One (M7) General] Magpir:
What is phone model number country and date manufactured
[One (M7) General] stephen2282:
Using TD 5.40 and team m7 kernel v.4.. very heavy use. I also let the screen run the dead pixel fix for half hour at max brightness. Quite impressed with the results. :)
[One (M7) General] MDLSoft:
Model Number is PN07100 / 801n

I don't know the manufacture date, how could I know it?

The phone was bought in Amazo.co.uk, ordered march 6th and received april 30. (Black One with a few and long delays)

[One (M7) General] Montago:
I charged mine to 100% -- put it on power saver and lost 30% over night !!!
[One (M7) General] *justintime*:
How did you disable Dormancy? I believe it's not possible on HTC with an app.

Also in the Netherlands on Vodafone.
[One (M7) General] gianton:
Not usual, check with BBS app for your kernel wakelocks. Usually I'm losing 1-2% overnight with power saver off.
[One (M7) General] Magpir:
Some update on my side here . It seems that setting to WCDMA (only ) seems to make the battery drain lesser . May not work for some if coverage in yr area is spotty but at where I live there is always full bars everywhere
[One (M7) General] anilkuj:
i did the exact same thing , near my house and work i have lte i but i only get 1 or 2 bars, so when i set it wcdma i get all full bars and get speed of 13 down 2 up which was way faster than lte with 2 bars.
[One (M7) General] Magpir:
well if u set it to gsm/wcdma/lte auto it will even drain faster as i beleive 3 radios will be on and may keep switching even during idle

the problem could be that 4G/LTE may not be up fully at all places .

however 3G has been in use since 2002. By now it should be up and everywhere
[One (M7) General] aspot72:
Can confirm that part of your post about Vodafone SIM. When used Tesco SIM got abot 6 hours extra with same usage...
[One (M7) General] italy333333:
I am testing the build.prop method of turning off fast dormancy as I was getting a lot of MSM wakelocks on ATT. I will post back results to see if that works.
[One (M7) General] py_martinez:
I have received my silver one Wednesday.

this is my impressions and tests .

I compared my HTC one x ( insertcoin rom , stock kernel)

with the one stock.

the battery.

I am a bit disappointed...

I'd say battery life is about the same than with my one x.

I charged the battery 4 times and did a test, a comparison with the one x .

all settings were the same on both phones.

The 2 phones were always side by side, and the utilisation was exactly the same

60 min with tapatalk, 30 min with appy geek, 30 min GPS, 25 min real racing 3, 30 min reading HTC one PDF guide , 10 minutes of pictures, and some other surf.

100% batteries unplugged at 5 am then plane mode during 6 hours. (6% battery lost by the HTC one !)

then the tests began. few hours of sleep mode ( the HTC one loose much more battery in sleep mode than my one.. )

finally after 20 hours unplugged , 3h20 screen on the battery were Both at 3% and needed to be charged.

for me it was same use, same battery life between one x and one.

so it is a deception for me, I expected better battery life...

[One (M7) General] godutch:
Same here, maybe my HOX even has a bit better battery life. MY gf's HOS (original s4 variant) has better battery life than my HOX even with the smaller battery, so I figured One with a newer version snapdragon and even bigger battery should do great but that isn't the case but it's clearly a bug so hopefully it will improve with future updates and fortunately for HTC most One's aren't affected...

try setting to WCDMA (only) and report yr battery life again

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

Snapdragon s4 probably consumes a small fraction of what Tegra3 consumes.

i dont lose massive amounts of battery in sleep mode and i also keep wifi always on overnight

total screen usage is 4 hours max i can get.

there must be a rogue app or wakelock eating your battery

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

anyone realised this how HTC One X scored in this test.

. According to Anandtech, the One X is able to do 9hrs of continuous web browsing over 3G
[One (M7) General] py_martinez:
[MENTION=4160045]Magpir[/MENTION]

Thank you for your reply.

Yes I am searching to solve my wakelocks at the moment ...

But I am a bit afraid by another test I have done :

Phone charged at 100% plane mode,

A sd movie (700 mo, .Avi) played with mx player (low brightness, sound off) during 1h30 eats 19 % of battery, on my HTC one , that means about 6 hours screen on with video playing ...

Same results with my one x.

If anybody want to make the same test and share his results ...

In fact very very far from gsm arena score : 10 hours !:mad:

[One (M7) General] italy333333:
The Build.prop change did not make any difference on the MSM wakelock, just an FYI.
[One (M7) General] Magpir:
the same goes for the iphone 5 Battery life is solid if you're on wifi but awful when on cellular.

There are certainly some apps or other factors that are resource hogs and will detrimentally effect your battery life, so having such little detail from you as to the exact environment where you're having bad battery performance, it's quite difficult to instruct you on what to do...i can only go by what I've experienced so far, and it doesn't reflect your issues.

u must understand that the Gsmarena score is not an ideal real world situation

its more of a test of screen and wifi and graphics under load

a good indicator but not necessarily a real world indicator

nw check this out - the update to samsung galaxy s3 to jellybean increased its screen on time by an hour +

so we can assume that the One will improve with future OTA upgrades
[One (M7) General] sallam5010:
For anyone claims that THE ONE got bad battery life

Here's my stats for today

And I can easily manage to get extra hour or plus !

I will post when am down to 2%
[One (M7) General] japjit100:
how much screen time with 50% brightness
[One (M7) General] Dreadsteel:
I have come to realize that if you are on wifi, your battery life is much better than on mobile. So when comparing battery life you need to also consider wifi time vs mobile data.

I'm sure others here have stated this before.

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

Do you have Google now enabled?

Also please list what else you have disabled to get that battery life

Thanks in advance
[One (M7) General] sallam5010:
Yeah Google now disabled ! Greenified all apps but only whatsapp and wechat running all time ! Disable blinkfeed feature ! Powersaver on all time ! ARHD 8.0 with stock kernel !

Edit: and capacitive buttons LED off ! To be soo specific lol
[One (M7) General] py_martinez:
Yes you're right, it's difficult to judge battery life, depending of so many items...

But in my very simple test :

Phone charged at 100% plane mode,

A sd movie (700 mo, .Avi) played with mx player (low brightness, sound off) during 1h30 eats 19 % of battery, on my HTC one , that means about 6 hours screen on with video playing ...

Same results than with my one x.

In fact very very far from gsm arena score : 10 hours !￼ for HTC one , 5h43 with HTC one x.(I am close gsm arena with the same test with my one x :))

Can someone make this video test ?

In fact I am about to change my one for another one because I am pretty sure 6 hours battery life while playing a sd video is quite half of gsm arena score !

[One (M7) General] Dreadsteel:

To be honest I don't know, maybe someone else has a clue, I would also like to know why I am having sync troubles. I already did a factory reset.

[One (M7) General] Fidelcastrol:
13% in 30 mins OST on 3g all sync on. Not great it's just as good as my 4s so far. That's with brightness at 20%.

Betterbattery stats was reporting incorrectly m i took it off charger whet it was 100% and dint plug in back anytime in between.

I find that when on WiFi, medium brightness power saver off and auto sync off I get roughly 30 mins screen on time per 10% battery, internet browsing, YouTube etc etc.So roughly 5 hours.

Yesterday I received my htc one.

So far so good but there is something that does not have me happy.

Is the battery life, I had loaded all tonight at 9:00 unplugging and went to work.

At this time I have 39% of battery, and use only a little web browsing, whatsapp and twitter, but not much, I think it was downloaded too use it and die, and all this with the power saving mode activated.

You think, what should I do?

Thank you.

Not sure if t the same but noticed Google maps running in the background all the time the past few days . So I disabled all location services in the location menu . And fired maps again . It will ask u to enable location ect and will show the relevant pop up screens . Just enable all it shows and after that the Google maps disappear in the settings- apps - running menu . But I have also enabled at most 4 processes in developer- background processes limit. Not sure which one solved the Google maps always running problem .
