After disabling the Google backup and transport services ect my battery seems to have improved
[One (M7) General] .vermilion:
Thank you very much for your help!

Currently I activated power saving mode and keep running apps at a minimum. Screen brightness is at minimum (because as you said - Auto is too bright for me) and network only 2G (Haven't got any faster connection here anyways :D). Auto-sync is on but deactivated for some apps (e.g. Facebook, Flickr for HTC Sense, weather, news, ... - I don't need them syncing all the time in the background).

So far: Phone is 2h on, Screen-On-Time 15 minutes, WIFI on for 30 minutes, 97% left. Sounds okay I guess.
[One (M7) General] Ciebiada:
Yep, those stats sound okay.

I second what you have said about disabling syncing for apps that you are not using, like stocks, news or tips & help, forgot about that :).

Also I think that disabling WIFI manually, when you are not going to use it for a longer period of time might be beneficial for battery life. I try to disable it when I'm going to work (as there are no public wifi networks for employees), but keep forgetting :). At least it is quite simple with the new 4.2.2 toggles.
[One (M7) General] .vermilion:
Oh yes, I forget about that :D Wifi is currently disabled because of no need. I'm always deactivating connections if I don't need them :) As my stats are looking good now (I'll keep observating :D) I think it's Facebook draining the battery like hell...

And I like the new 4.2.2 toggles, too. A bit OT, but is it possible to change their order?
[One (M7) General] MoshuXXL:
It's not possible to change their order or add/remove them if you are stock and urooted.
[One (M7) General] .vermilion:
Ah, okay, thank you very much! (Can't hit "Thanks"-Button, because I'm limited to 8 Thanks per day... weird rule :D)

I'm going to go out on a limb saying that you have about 2.5 hours of screen on time and all on mobile data. I see that your wakelocks aren't bad. How bright is your screen?
[One (M7) General] nur.salikeen:
I set it to lowest. Sometimes switch back to auto.

[One (M7) General] .vermilion:
My stats are looking waaaay better now:

I'm stock and unrooted and my settings were:

- display brightness all time at minimum

- auto-sync on, but deactivated news, weather, Facebook,...

- every time I leave my phone I forced close Facebook, messenger, Internet and WhatsApp (will try it next cycle without force closing, hope stats will be similar)

- network only 2G (don't have better connection here anyways)

- power saving mode was on all time (all options ticked)

- flight mode at night.

holy moly.....Youve spent 6h30 min on phone in 28 hours . You've got some free time :D. Your phone's getting way too much attention.

Most people don't even get to use 2 hr screen on time and we still think this phones awesome :p

On stock Sense 4.1.2.

Auto-brightness during the day, minimum brightness at night.

Turned off wifi when I had it idle for long periods.

Around an hour of reddit, hour of gaming, hour of browsing. Remaining usage was messaging and what not.

Google edition Rom, elementalx kernel slightly underclocked( no noticeable slow down, very noticeable battery improvement) Today I flashed RGUI Rom+ elementalX kernel underclocked and power saver OFF and got 9 hours screen on time!!
[One (M7) General] chobson0891:
you didnt use the phone though, your app usage is very minimal
[One (M7) General] luigi311:
This is what I'm looking at. Brightness on auto which set it usually around 40%. App usage consists of mostly games. Signal usually low. WiFi always on. Underclocked to 1.5 and undervolted to 800
[One (M7) General] Jessetatum1337:
I did use gmail, browsed through XDA, facebook and other social media, downloaded mods for the Rom and texted a good amount. I would just use the phone normally but wouldn't lock it... I would just set it down when I finished doing what I needed.
[One (M7) General] luigi311:
This is what I finished with. I'm considering underclocking to 1.2 but wondering if it will really make much of a difference

For those who are trying to get some better life, installing lux brightness manager really helps in saving some battery when you set less aggressive brightness values
[One (M7) General] .vermilion:
I was at home all day, so no problem to read it ;) I force closed in Settings - Apps - Downloaded - then pick the app I want to close and tapped "force close". I tried with not doing this and I notice no difference so far, so there's probably no need to do this ;)

[One (M7) General] .vermilion:
Okay, I completed my battery test :D

This time I didn't kill WhatsApp, Facebook, Facebook Messenger,... manually. As you can see, battery usage is pretty the same. Other settings were the same as in previous test:

- display brightness at minimum

- auto-sync on, but deactivated for some apps

- power saving mode on

- 2G network

And now I can finally put away my phone xD

To think that people say GE ROM has bad battery life..

No energy save modes, and I'm 100% sure I could have gotten 5 hours.

ARHD GE ROM with ElementalX 3.3 kernel.

Everything stock in Aroma, except gpu overclock to 450.

Very happy with this combo.

Ninja edit: mixed usage btw.

Mostly wifi connected, but certainly mobile network aswell.
[One (M7) General] Dreadsteel:
Anyone else's battery still discharging when when the phone is off?

This happens to me on sense and GE roms
[One (M7) General] MoshuXXL:
If the battery discharge even while the phone is off then something is wrong. Go to service.
[One (M7) General] Spartyx:
The last Google play v4.2.9 seems to have a lot of wakelocks. I lost 20% during the night.

I revert back to the v4.2.3 and eveything is fine now (3% during all the night, with all sync and wifi activated)
[One (M7) General] ponk2k:
maybe its just me

Dunno about anyone else but i´m in Spain and need the screen brightness up quite high to be readable(the sun is bright, see!) and if i get more than two hours screen on time while browsing its a bloody miracle. Standby time and playing music on headphones is legendary though.

Before the 4.2.2 update i´m sure i was getting closer to 3 hours but this is a gut feeling rather than any hard evidence. Can anyone tell me if this corresponds to their experience?

as an aside i´d like to hear how people are getting screen on time of 5+ hours.... what the hell are you doing on the phone? as far as i can tell its got to be only using things stored locally like movies, music etc. as any connected tasks drain it rapidly
[One (M7) General] MoshuXXL:
My screen on time it's under 3 hours too. Same bright sun in Romania.
[One (M7) General] AbyssTrion:
Just to show that here. I think 3 hours is possible..I use auto brightness (so maximum outside) and I would say for 13 hours usage and 1h Display time, it's pretty decent. I use the phone for surfing, WhatsApp and Facebook, YouTube and checking emails every hour.

What do you think guys?

[One (M7) General] BuffMcBigHuge:
People with 3hours+ screen on time are seriously not using the phone to its full potential. Only using the 2G network? Brightness on minimum? Underclocked to 1.2? I understand these things will prolong the usage of your device, but don't you think its a little overkill? The phone is to be used, not to act like an ereader.

Mine with average usage:

+ViperOne 1.2.1

+ElementX 34

+2.1Ghz overclock

+450Mhz GPU
[One (M7) General] chc31:
Im underclocked to 830mhz and -50... No lag whatsoever. None. Nothing. Autobrightness and greenify. I get 6.5 hours. So I disagree.

Are you telling me there is a noticeable difference between 1.7 to 2.1? This phone never lags. That's just overkill.

And the gpu... Are you serious bro? Quad-core top android phone, best ever built. Stock was just fine. No wonder your battery drains

Yes, 2G network because THERE IS NO BETTER NETWORK HERE! Is it my fault?!

And brightness at minimum: Yeah, I can turn it on at maximum in dark rooms (where I am mostly) to get less than 3 hours screen on time just to show YOU that I'm using my phone... :rolleyes:

Sorry buddy, but can you be a bit more precise.from my experience I call shenanigins.

How bright is it where you use? Type of connection to net? Sync settings? etc...

.sorry but I've been reading unrealistic settings for everyday use on android since the dhd and nobodies that I've seen have been able to back it up in real world use.

Don't take this the wrong way but a few screenshots don't give me any idea of anything that can be duplicated
[One (M7) General] ponk2k:
I'm sorry that you see my question as having a go, but that's your problem, nothing to do with what I wrote.

Again I'll say it, I live in a bright country.I'm on the move a lot. I have Wi-Fi on and data active at all times. these things are not what drains my battery. It's the screen same as every other smart phone. No amount of underclocking etc is gonna do f all to my battery life. You just proved what I was saying, you're static, indoors and with minimum brightness. This is not, in my world, real world usage. It's called a mobile phone, and nobody yet has managed to give me a legitimate answer to these amazing screen on times that reflect what I consider real world usage

Cheers for that. You're post is of enormous help.

I've asked questions and researched this to death and to be fair nobody has said anything new on this topic for years. My problems are not your problems and I don't expect you to care for them. However the dismissive tone of your post is all too common here nowadays and one of the reasons I've not been so active on this forum in a while.this used to be a place where people used to collaborate to solve problems.
[One (M7) General] chc31:
No, I'm actually serious. Go find one yourself. Clearly as you say, nothing from other people has helped you. Experiment yourself. Every phone and person is different. If no one can give you a clear answer upto this point, then experiment.

The carrier effect!

This is proof of carriers affecting battery life! If you browse my previous posts, you will see that I have been experiencing bad battery drain when on standby and I have postulated that my carrier choice (Airtel in Tanzania) and the constant switching between E, 3G & H and generally mediocre signal quality (not signal strength) was the reason my battery life was not more than 13/14 hours with 3 - 3.5 hours screen on time. Generally, even in standby it would drain annoyingly as you can see from the first three attached pics.

Well today I switched carriers to Vodacom (A subsidiary of Vodafone) and well, you can see the difference from the attached screen shots! The battery drain is significantly reduced and when I actually left the phone alone for long periods of time, it would drain only 1% per hour! I ended the day at 20+ hours of use with 4 hours of screen on time! I am extremely pleased as you can imagine!
[One (M7) General] randykzc:
Hmm..roughly 4 hours plus near 5 if I were to go until 1% of battery..

Insertcoin+elementalx
[One (M7) General] dsymbol:
I'd like you guys to post the graphs & ROM you're using so that it will benefit all of us to pick out a ROM with great battery life.

Anyways, here is my latest stats:

- Auto sync is off, but everything else is at full functionality (vibrating feedback is global)

- No Wifi

- No airplane mode.

- No Power Saving mod (it automatically turned on up until the battery dropped to below some percent).

- Almost 1 hour of call calling.

Basically, no battery conservation. I use the phone as it should be.

ROM is latest InsertCoin version.

I'm surprised to see your app usage is below 40%. Normally mine sticks to above 90%.

thank you in advance
[One (M7) General] MoshuXXL:
Seems that the best thing to do, which would significantly improve battery, it's to root and install custom roms and other xda goodies. I'm stock unrooted too and everything I've tried hasn't done very much difference. My screen on time stays around or bellow 3 hours.
[One (M7) General] sauprankul:

What you mean by changing the APN?
[One (M7) General] randykzc:
I use greenify..not sure if greenify contributes to the low app usage %..

Screen brightness-auto but I usually stay in a not so bright place..so I think it is about 33% or less of brightness. Auto sync off.. uv only on lowest frequency..

This is with no 'powersave' at all until it came on itself at 14%. Watching a few YouTube videos, Google Play music streaming for a bit also, browsing Chrome and IR blasting - just general usage with wi-fi and H/3G. Didn't get too hot.

[One (M7) General] MoshuXXL:
I don't know how you guys can get 4+ hours screen on. I can barely squeeze 3 hours of screen on time. The screen and the data connection are the heavy drainers for me.
[One (M7) General] xsardax:
Well it looks like my usage. I don't have root or custom rom, pure stock 4.2.2., and as I can see you have issue with huge variations in phone signal and you use auto brightness, so that is great. I have on top of that like 2hrs of phone calls. Day average is 2-2.5h of voice calls and about 40 of them. I consider that a fantastic battery life. When I am in city with great 4G reception, I easily get 20% more battery.

By my experience in last three months, data reception or phone signal and screen brightness are biggest drainer of battery.

I'm most of the day outside on bright sun, so on average I have 30%+ of full brightness, and 50% of medium.

Here are some samples.

This is with 3h of GPS navigation with MireoGPS and 5h of BT connection to Novero BT headset in my car. Phone signal was horrible.

Phone was in car dock all the time, but not connected to charger, and all the time on direct sunlight. 40'C was phone temp or so.

Fantastic battery.

I get easily 5.5hrs of onscreen time when all day in office or at home on wifi and low brightness.
[One (M7) General] chc31:
Because of Facebook, whatever google services is, maybe because of greenify, your high brightness, perhaps not using a battery saving app, maybe not underclocking/volting, disabling useless stuff.

Try it, esp if you're rooted!
[One (M7) General] MoshuXXL:
Some of your advices requires root (which I plan to do in a month or so after returning from vacation), other advices requires using less of my phone. I've disabled all the apps I don't use. I've tried some apps for battery saving and the impact was minimal at best (GreenPower and GO Battery Saver & Power Widget) or negative in some cases (Snapdragon BatteryGuru - 4 days to learn + another week after). The only solution which would make a difference is to root and install custom roms. As I said above I'm planning doing it in a month or so.

Can anyone tell me if having conserve cpu usage ticked actually saves the battery or is it just a gimmick?
[One (M7) General] chc31:
Exactly. So do what you can for now, is say don't use that fb app, known killer. Perhaps use 3g or something.Aybe lower brightness. That's as much as you can do.

But if you know you're gonna root, just know that a huge solution is on it's way, so don't worry much about battery life for now
