I am now well in to the third week using my HTC One, I got it around the 28th May or so, give or take a day. You say you don't use your phone much but I sure would be happy to eke out the 43 hours that you do, mine would simply not last that long unless I kept in on airplane mode. The 7 hours of wakelocks by "main" do seem excessive to me (half the length of my battery life!) and I have no clue as to how to go about tackling that and the 5 hrs & 45 mins of "msm_hsic_host" wakelocks also leave me perplexed. Clearly it's not location services or maps that is eating up my standby battery.
[One (M7) General] mky4b11:
Turning off data when you're not using it makes a big difference.
[One (M7) General] dvsk69:
Though I do not get a screen on time like some of you have posted, battery usually losts for slightly more than a day for me. My phone is into it's 3rd week now.

Iam usually on lot of phone calls though. That may be a reason.
[One (M7) General] godutch:
you are affected by the msm_hsic_host wakelock bug, i think it affects some people with some networks/regions more than others. there are some fixes for this bug in android 4.2.2
[One (M7) General] nerdAFK:
Gotta say the battery is impressive.
[One (M7) General] sagarsamtani:
Thats insane.! What was your brightness set at? And power savor on or off?
[One (M7) General] mpanju:
The standby drain is getting annoying, it basically sips 1% every 25 mins or so! So basically there is nothing I can do about it then, I read on Android Central that there is an OTA software update to 1.29.xxxx.17 I hope that fixes my wakelock issues. I fear that 4.2.2 update will be a while though.
[One (M7) General] Magpir:
maybe the bullet proof kernel is helping a lot

That is insane battery life you're getting. Maybe it's because you're on trickdroid 5.6? I'm no where near on 7.5.then again I haven't had my phone for very long.
[One (M7) General] Tetsumi06:
Could be a combination of TD and BulletProof. One of the main reasons I'm still on 4.1.2. The sooner the kernel sources are released and flar2 can roll out an updated kernel the better. All the new features in TD7 that I'm missing out on :(

Edit: all previous results were with stock frequencies, voltages and ondemand governor. Just switched to intellidemand to see if there is any difference. It'll take a few days to get any worthwhile comparisons.

I don't have greenify installed although I do have Advanced Task Manager. If I were to put my extended screen time down to anything it would have to be Brightness Manager. I have brightness set to near minimum (i don't use the extra alpha-mask dimness) under standard indoor brightness then set levels to the point I can easily read the screen in other light levels without the phone trying to outshine a 100watt lightbulb.

[One (M7) General] Aetherion90:
I'm very worried about my battery life after seeing you guys who can get even over 3 hours screen on time. Let alone those who can get 6-8 hours screen on time.

My screen on time would be around 2 hours at most over 1 day of usage (around 16-20 hours).

Here are the screenshots from GSAM, betterbatterystats and WLD in dropbox link.

I purposely turn off Google Now today to see whether it improves the battery life. 100% on Mobile data LTE. Brightness set at 50%. Power saver on (except for display). Sync on, 2 emails account each sync for every 4 hours.

My main usage of the phone is WhatsApp, some internet browsing, couple of short phone calls, few text messages.

The only thing that still bothering me from this phone is the battery life. I feel like I'm holding back a bit from using the phone from my regular usage pattern so that the battery can last for a day.

Hope you guys can give some analysis and inputs on what's wrong with my usage/configuration to improve my battery life.

Thanks.

Root and install custom kernel . I think the main cause battery problem in the stock Rom is the on-demand governor . But custom kernels like faux , bulletproof and elemental x use Intelliplug governor

I know this as a fact because on all stock kernels the battery life will not be spectacular even with greenify ..

I am now on 4,1,2 with bulletproof kernel and the phone drains much less battery and also feels cooler
[One (M7) General] Aetherion90:
May I know what is on-demand governor? Sorry if it's a noob question, this is my first android phone :o

Before going that far (rooting), can I do anything on stock rom and unrooted?

I notice in this thread that there's quite a number of people who still get great battery life even without rooting :)
[One (M7) General] Magpir:
A cpu governor dictates how yr Cpu behaves like speeding up and slowing down . Most manufacturer stock roms use on demand governor which actually quite common . But our great developers here have come up with their own governors for custom roms and kernels

Without root :

Yes u can but the amount of things u can do will be limited . Click on my profile and check for my thread called "battery saving tips"

But rooting and custom rooms kernels give a so much now options
[One (M7) General] Aetherion90:
Thanks, will check that out. But meanwhile, I'm still looking for some kind soul who can analyse my usage/wakelocks and give their thoughts :)
[One (M7) General] Tetsumi06:

Yup, msm_hsic_host always has high counts of wakelocks, as well as maps. I don't really understand what's causing those. I have unticked all of the location settings in the Maps setting itself. But maps is still showing on the wakelocks even if I don't use it for the whole day.

Also, my App Usage never goes down below 80%. I notice some folks here with great battery life and insane screen on time have very low App Usage percentage like 30-40%.
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
I've been getting bad battery life on 4.2.2 roms as well so I'm jumping onto your setup to see if it helps. So your on TrickDroid 5.6 with bulletproof 1.10. What are your values for the brightness app and is there any additional apps and settings you can share? Thanks
[One (M7) General] Tetsumi06:
I'm on WiFi 90% of the time, 3G (no LTE in Wales) and the brightness is set pretty low (2 in the dark goto about 20 in a tungsten lit room) rising to about 180 in reasonable daylight and only hitting max on extremely sunny days. Power Saver is on unless I'm gaming (but I don't let it turn my WiFi off except in in prolonged deep sleep)

Hey Tetsumi06, I just decided to try out Advanced Task Manager, and for me, it's making a world of a difference compared to Greenify. From just keeping the screen on, my battery drops 1% for every 10-12 minutes of screen-on time with Advanced Task Manager, as opposed to 5-7 minutes of SOT with Greenify. This is just from rough estimation, and I'd have to do more standardized testing, but you've given me something to explore further. Thanks!

Nope, I've never seen this before. In fact, WhatsApp is one of the few applications I do not hibernate because it doesn't have many wakelocks and only works when you're about to receive a notification.

Those who are having 3 to 4 hoursscreen on time . I now starting to believe something is wrong either on kernel or governor level. The problem here is the governor .

I recently flashed the trickdroid .16 based custom Rom and bulletproof my battery life seems to have improved massively and the phone runs cooler and also android is only takes up 9% of battery as compared to 30-70% as before . I believe the bulletproof and elemental x are not using the on-demand governor? And also the wakelocks issue ? Can't be sure which one but even on 4.2.2 I only had 3-4 hours ost

However I can't confirm at this point of time . Need others to confirm with the same setup
[One (M7) General] steve1996:

Do you need them to find your way to the shops/pub? I don't so I didn't want them eating up storage so they're some of the many apps I remove during Rom installation.

I have Google earth installed for when I want to mess around but it isn't forever forcing itself on me.

I have some stuff that's forever popping up on the background for no real reason (yes Zynga, I'm glaring at YOU!) Those are what I have ATM for. Memory gets low I know they're there and I go and murder them.

Tetsumi06,

Man you have insane battery life! I love my One but I stole some jealous glances at the newly announced Butterfly S' 3,200 mAh battery! Anyway so I installed the latest OTA update by HTC (1.29.XXXX.17) last night and I have attached my screen shots after going through one charging cycle. Points to be noted:

- Total cycle time is misleading since 7 hours are attributable to airplane mode (from 2330h to 0630h) where the phone drops around 1-2% only.

- Same wakelock culprits - "main" & "msm_hsic_host" both giving off insane stats - 4,006 wakelocks &6h 29mins from msm_hsic_host!!! Does anyone get those sort of stats!

So unless the 4.2.2 update fixes these issues for me, I am guessing that flashing a custom kernel is the only way I am going to get rid of this anytime soon! (I have no experience with custom kernels & ROMs!)

Any feedback/ideas would be tremendously appreciated!
[One (M7) General] King Shatta:
Hey Tetsumi06,

So I've uninstall Greenify and started using Advanced Task Mananger and to be honest i'm not seeing how this is any better than Greenify. Unless i'm not using ATM correctly i was hoping it would auto kill app when im not using them. So everything i open up an app i have to go into ATM and manually go kill them!!!???? well that's just seems like more work at the end of the day. Please let me know if i'm doing something completely wrong here because between greenify and ATM I don't notice any improvement with battery life. For every 1% drop i get about 5-7min of on screen time with greenify or ATM. A little bumped at the moment because i bought this app that doesnt do anything!!! LOL...:silly:

u need a custom kernel
[One (M7) General] mky4b11:
What custom Kernal and Rom is recommended? I'm on 4.2 right now, but want to flash custom kernel and 4.1 Rom to see if I can get some more screen on time
[One (M7) General] Tetsumi06:
Ok. I don't use ATM to keep control over what apps are running, I use it for the widget that shows me what operating ram is available.

Hsic (as far as I have seen) can only be solved with a custom kernel.

There are a lot of features in bulletproof that I'm not willing to sacrifice just to go to 4.2.2. My phone performs beautifully as is so, although there are enticing features I'm missing out on (especially looking at TrickDroid) I don't need them.

Anything that actually gets into an app-sucker screen grab immediately turns me away from it (there have been several shots featuring Greenify - how can an app designed to save battery actually appear on GSam?)

It's quite possible I run my screen a lot lower than most people. One guy in another thread complained he couldn't get 3 hours screen time using 90% brightness. That did NOT surprise me. I want to read the screen, not use it as a tanning lamp.

Beyond that I use mostly WiFi (when a Rom download is 1GB your allowance is worth nothing!) and only game for a couple of hours a day - for gaming read Angry Birds and Candy Crush. I'm 40(something muffled) so high end 3D games last a few minutes, long enough to see what the phone is capable of.

Power Saver is on except for when I'm gaming (and, in truth, I don't even need it off even then but it's a habit from my pc gaming days.)

I think that's about all I can really say.

Primary tips:

Flash Trickdroid (5.6 for now)

Flash BulletProof (1.10 for now)

Install Brightness Manager and configure it.

Most important:

It's a phone, not a tanning lamp. Currently in a room lit by a 100 watt equiv bulb, tv in the corner, another bulb 10ft to my right and BM has set brightness to 2. It really is more than bright enough.

Addendum: If I want to watch video on the phone then I will override BM and set brightness to max.

Beyond this I don't know what other tips I can give. Trickdroid + Bulletproof + Brightness Manager = upto 8 hours screen time.

[One (M7) General] phatalbert1000:
I think the biggest factor for your fantastic screen on times is the low brightness values. Just downloaded the lux app and it appears that in a well lit interior room with natural and artificial light (around 400 ambient lux), your brightness is set to the lowest possible value. I think people need to realize that they cannot possibly achieve 8 hours by merely eliminating wakelocks (although it is a necessary element). I'm gonna follow your lead and try to start stepping down my brightness.

Thanks for all the information you've shared!
