Can't complain.

This wake lock seems to be killing my battery and I cant find out if it's normal...it's there every day regardless of how I use my phone...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mizunox:
I'm getting about 14-16 hours of life with 3.5 hours screen on which I'm happy with.

Has anyone experimented with disabling LTE and its effects on battery life?

I've tried it, but I spend most of my time connected to wifi so I didn't see a difference.

I presume the data connection is disabled while on wifi so it shouldn't matter if I disable LTE, right?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] robstunner:
Bluetooth?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] elbos2k:
Disable NFC...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] robstunner:
This is the best I am getting after the following settings:

Google now off

Facebook and Twitter sync completely off

1 Gmail syncing only

Power saver screen dim only unless outside

GPS Google apps location thing on

Running ARHD9.3 with elemental x kernel on intellidemand. Not very impressed still...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tyshemi:
Nope me either tbh I do love the phone I cant use it and not worry had to break out the s4 again
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] robstunner:
My biggest drive for the S4 is battery life. I would get 4.5hrs screen on time on 18 hours off charge. I didn't use power saver either.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tyshemi:
I went and bought one yesterday I had to but still have my one very hard to dexide what to keep
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] robstunner:
Ive had two of each very hard to decide. If only the one had battery of s4

So I just got my HTC one from Telus and here is a screenshot of battery. Should I be able to get better? I also installed better battery stats but not sure how to use it?

Thanks in advance,
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] robstunner:
Seems about normal, but the stock battery information in settings is worthless. Download gsam battery monitor or better battery stats.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] colemac:
I have better battery stats but not sure how to use it. Could I pm you?

Thanks in advance,
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] robstunner:
Try gsam, much easier
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Ziocomposite:
What screen on time do you get with each device? I get 4-6 on my One and that's the best I've had. Only had 2 smart phones. OG Droid and Verizon Nexus. Battery has always been better each upgrade lol.

What Screen On time is everyone looking for?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] robstunner:
That's great, I wouldn't be complaining with 4 to 6 hours in a day, best I get is 3 to 3.5
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Ziocomposite:
Are you using data/LTE the majority of the time? That's pretty much the biggest culprit besides screen when it comes to battery drain for me. Wi-Fi drastically improves the battery life.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] robstunner:
Yes, I am but even with Wi-Fi I can barely get 4, usually end up with 3.5, that's without any games.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] lenovox201:
Not sure if it'll actually break in...

From what I know that's not how batteries work :P
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Ziocomposite:
Hmmmm. Can you take a screen cap of the apps used in gsam to see which drain the most? Something might be keeping the phone awake. Also try installing wakelock detector to see which app(s). I have powersave on as well which doesn't slow down my phone at all =\
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] robstunner:
It's not an app wake lock. I'm using greenify, power saver(no data disconnection though) and Facebook/Twitter sync is completely turned off
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jjvasil:
Here's my batt life... This is under heavy usage all day (live he streaming ..YouTube over ltd... Apps.. etc for all day till I get home )

I am stock rooted
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Arcadia310:
I don't have a screenshot but today I got about 3.5 hours of on screen time and 10 hours total off the charger. I have power saver turned on (every option checked besides screen dimming), Facebook and Google Now background syncing totally turned off, GPS off when not being used and the battery still keeps sipping! I'm really getting annoyed now. Just playing Spotify with the screen off will drain the phone 5% every 20 minutes or so, it's quite pathetic compared to other phones I've used. What did you guys find to be the biggest battery draining culprits? I don't play games and today didn't watch any videos. Mainly just checking twitter, facebook, emails, texting, etc. Also, the phone managed to drain 7% when I restarted it and got to 103 degrees F.

/

Did anyone find forcing GPU rendering to have an effect on battery life?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] robstunner:
Agreed. I think people are using power saver to turn their data off and that's just something I refuse to do.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] bigballa:
This is my average battery life on the weekends, give or take 10%, when I have a day and night job. During the weekdays I hardly get below 30%. Data on ALL THE TIME(unlike some people, no offense it's your phone) and jumping between WiFi and Bluetooth continuously throughout the day). Screen on time doesn't matter to me as long as it gets me through a whole day.

CleanRom 2.5 with stock kernel.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] minicoop7:
Since battery usage is user dependent, if it helps at all, I fully charge my phone before going to bed. It only uses 2% overnight and I'm good for the whole day unless I stay playing games. I get an average 4 hrs screen time all on full power using Snapdragon battery guru.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Lekerstein:
You guys think 3.5 hrs screen on time is bad? Galaxy S2 can't get much more than 2 hrs lol. Upgrading to the One tomorrow :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] robstunner:
It's not terrible, but a lot of people are claiming 5 to 7 hits on screen time with 2 days between charges. And not to go down this road, but the s4 I had would easily hit 4.5 hours screen time with using any power saver.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tyshemi:
I agree I rebooted my s4 but this is the third charge and its amazingly better than my htc for some reason three hours sot and about 13 to 14 hrs total battery time on the one was it check this s4 out ill post a pick or two I still have both and probly keep both to lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] colemac:
Cool I installed it so now what do I do with it?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] LockeCPM4:
I carry a mophie juice pack case with me for long days of usage. While at work I do a lot of email, sms, and a lot of talk time. At home I rarely need the charging case but at work it's a must.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tyshemi:
How bulky is it videos dont do it justice i was thinking about getting one
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] LockeCPM4:
It's not bulky at all. It adds a little bit of thickness but nothing too terrible. I actually like the way the phone feels with the case on vs the case off. Feels better I'm the hand imo. I also like the soft grip coating as it adds grip.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] robstunner:
Best I got today:

Damn I don't get it why is my battery so good ? I played music for 30+ min with 5% and I have no drain at all I love this phone better than the 30 hrs + is get with my HTC one x +
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] colemac:
How is your battery so good lol?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] spk827:
sold

Yeah I had that issue with the battery draining too quickly so I called AT&T and they sent a replacement and now the battery is great. Call them and explain that the battery doesnt last more than a few hours after charge. Its a known issue, so you should get a replacement fairly easy.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ac3kill:
Yeah get a new one yours must be faulty going to bed and putting phone on charger this what I ended up with not bad for WiFi on prob 50% of that time
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Lekerstein:
Periods are wonderful punctuation marks. You should try them sometime.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SlimJ87D:
You have a wake lock from 2:30 to 3:30. Something is keeping your phone awake. Look at the "awake" bare. It hardly EVER is asleep. That's your problem. I would factory reset your phone because if you aren't rooted it's kind of hard to find the source of your wake lock.

Other than that, you're obviously using your phone all the time. It says your screen has been on for almost 3 to 4 hours. That's about the life of the HTC One battery.

Lastly, don't completely discharge your phone and charge it all the way up. That shortens its life as it is a Lithium battery, not a nickel cadium one.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Th3Dark:
I restored the phone from Factory 3 times!

I understand,but when second restore I didn't install any app...Only I watched some videos(1hour with maximum brightness,battery getting down to 70%)<<It's normally?

Of course I used device 4h:30m...How better to test my battery???
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] roy1210:
hi guys my battery so bad , i dont know what to do

i charge the phone to 100 % and 3g was off the phone was idle and no use i wake up after 8 hours and i got 65 %

what the hell where the 35% go

some photo's let me know what you think

https://share.htc.com/fMlMKF3F5
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Th3Dark:
View running apps and if nothing special here,try FACTORY RESTORE(with delete all data)!After you need to test again...

How long you charge the device and how many times?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] roy1210:
tnx for your answer

this photo are after factory restore there his nothing on the phone

i did in the recovery wipe cache partition like htc was told me and nothing change

i charge him when he die 1 time a night

mybe this problem with the radio band ? its look like the phone say he dont have signal long time but i have full all day

or somthing with the last build i have 1.29.401.13
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] bbedward:
Coming from the galaxy nexus (even with 2100mA extended battery), the battery life of the one is a sigh of relief. Seem to have no problem the first couple of days.

Although I want to figure out a way to make it charge faster (whether this can safely be achieved via S/W I have yet to investigate).
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Th3Dark:
Do no let HTC to full discharge,it's not good...

If you buy it from your Country,problem with radio band cannot persist!

I have mind**** with battery too :(

I use without GSM!One question:possible to be from the OS?( anyway I don't think so,because on others work fine...*SAD*)

Waiting for UPDATE!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] roy1210:
I saw something strange when i start now the htc battery test its work for now about 30 min with Full brightness and screen on and i lose just 3 %

i think its somthing with the softwere
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SlimJ87D:
I see you using the screen a lot though. Nothing looks wrong with your battery life. 4 hours of screen use isn't bad. Sadly it's not 10 hours of screen time, but the screen is what drains the most battery.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] colemac:
Is power saver mode better then regular?

Thanks in advance,
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Th3Dark:
Okey...But about testing the HTC ONE on gsm-arena,mine is not so good! Why?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Th3Dark:
It's depend,but not so much effect if you use device for multimedia(only 5%)...And i think if phone on standby mode or sleep mode will do a 10-15% improvements! :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] David111jr:
I'm having great battery life. Just got the phone yesterday did a full charge and then drainit down to about 10% then let it charge over night and so far today pretty good as you can see from the pic
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] colemac:
How much on screen time?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Hardcore73:
Mine is charging for the first time. I let it run down to 1% and will charge it to 100%, then let it run down a couple percent and charge again to 100%, then let it drain all the way down to 1-3% again and the calibration should be perfect :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] inneyeseakay:

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] californiarailroader:
I am seeing bad battery life, just tonight I have had it unplugged for 2 hours, and other than listening to Google Music a little and a bit of surfing, it's down to 83%, I am hoping it will improve after a few charges and discharges. Hopefully they will release updates to correct any issues. According to my battery app, HTC Sense is taking 19% of the battery usage.

Edit-I am rooted and on Stock ROM, no custom ROM's or Kernel's. I am on a MicroCell at home, so a full signal with that, and WiFi is full signal as well. I have my brightness set at about 40%.

I am going to use that, and see if the battery is just calibrated incorrectly. I made sure and charge it fully before using it for the first time.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] californiarailroader:
Well, I charged it full with the Calibration app, hit calibrate, unplugged the charger and so far the battery seems to be discharging at at a little slower rate, I'll do this 2 or 3 times and see if it's a calibration issue.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Hardcore73:
Just thought I would note for those that cannot wait for the charge because it takes awhile, this thing charges about 5x faster when it is turned off. Just letting you know in case of a time pinch and you have to get some juice back.

I have 14 days to swap phone out. Should I because of battery?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gfp17:
I have a question about battery consumption as opposed to battery life that I haven't really seen mentioned in this thread.

My last charge lasted 42 hours (was actually 100 -> 18%) with 3 1/2 hours screen on time. GPS, nfc, wifi, Bluetooth, location reporting all off, traffic disabled in Google now (seems to actually help) and only one mail account set to sync every hour. So all in all, seems pretty good. The problem is most of that screen on time was either me looking at the clock or me checking out the battery in settings. Whenever I try to do anything substantial, the battery absolutely plummets, like to the point where I can basically watch it go down while I use chrome or whatever. Listened to probably 30 min of music, hard to say how much browsing and whatnot, but can't be more then an hour total.

It seems to me while its sleeping or not doing anything but the most mundane tasks its perfect, but whenever I try to use it like the great phone that it is, it just consumes an insane amount of power. If anyone could tell me whether or not this is normal/what I can do to fix it that would be awesome. If it is particularly abnormal, my return period is until Sunday so I still can swap it for another one I guess.

Also, this is my first android phone after only having apple devices in the past, and I have to say I'm definitely liking it better overall and it seems you guys have a extremely helpful community here as well.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] majinzen:
So... I'm thinking about getting the One but I'm concerned about battery life. Seems to be hit or miss. Technically, the One should have better battery but we all know bigger battery doesn't always equate to longer life. Question is, what kind or battery life are you all getting if you actually use the phone for work or school? Will it last all day (1-2 hours talk time and 2-3 hours of email, texting, screen on)? LGOG has me looking for a charger by the end of the day usually.

Edit- Guess what I'm asking is if you all think I can get an extra hour of talk/screen time with the bigger battery on the HTC One.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] fin1211:
Running both with the Power Saver Mode on, and with Juice Defender in balanced mode, im getting about 5 1/2 hours of screen on time. Not bad at all!

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] stickbo:
Man I'm lucky, I get good battery life. I am extremely pleased in this regard. If I could get a flush screen I would be in heaven. I do use power saver and auto brighness, and I don't run the awful sense launcher. WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS always on. It lasts a little longer than my nexus 4 and almost as long as my gs4 did. I do miss the extended battery in in my gs2, 9 hours of screen on time.sigh. I'm really thinking about that power skin deal.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] bchildress:
I would replace it within 14 days. I'm about to make a general post but I had battery issues that I ignored because my camera went bad. My new phone besides have a camera that works now has totally different and better battery experience.

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

I got replacement phone because of my camera going bad (no focus) and I was at 15 days but still had insurance so they waived some normal fees and sent me replacement overnight. New one has working camera and battery that is so much better than previous! I was draining very fast now since I was focusing on camera issues, I didn't focus on battery but some things that could have made things worse were - auto upload of all the photos/videos I created trying to debug camera - they went to Google+ and Dropbox. Also I have 20k songs on Amazon cloud that it seems to want to cache the song list locally. There were a couple of popup ad things going on till I found the opt-out app for them and removed apps. I was using LTE though also.

No I'm not using LTE currently because not in area that supports it currently.

Battery makes me very happy now.

Another important Item to know. HTC brand power adapter bases short the data pins to tell the phone that it can safely draw 1.5 amp rather than .5 amps. If you are using a third party charger you are not getting the fastest charge by a LARGE margin. I only stumbled upon this information recently!

The battery is killing me ...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Freshtojeff:
Quick question regarding wifi. Gsam shows wifi active as on pretty much the whole duration as the phones been on/idle however, I have "Keep wi-fi on during sleep" set to never. Shouldn't the time of wifi be significantly lower than idle time? I go 2-3 hours at work without checking my phone and so I know for sure the active wifi time can't be always on...

Am i missing something here? Anything to check out? Thanks

I have had a lot of problems with my battery as well. I got fed up with it. I called AT&T on Tuesday I explained everything and they refused to give me a new phone. What they did agree to was to call me on Thursday and check up on the my battery after I followed their 101ish suggestions. They didn't call... It's likely a ploy to make sure you're really interested in exchanging the phone. I called back Saturday I have a new phone on it's way, should be here tomorrow.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Rdotyung:
Just popped on here to say that I've had my HTC One for a week, and find the battery life to be pretty unacceptable. I can lose about 10% of battery in under an hour when using the phone just to open the web browser for 5 minutes from time to time.

It's really a shame because I LOVE this phone, it's so quick, built great, feels great, everything is really great. But if the battery is this bad now, in 2 years it's going to be unusable and I can't just replace it. I think I have to unwillingly trade this in for an S4 unless anyone has a solution.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
Do you have any unnecessary apps running in the background? I've had no problems with battery life on this device
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Rdotyung:
I don't think so. I'm coming from an iPhone 4 where I could get away with not really charging it for 2 days. And with my iPhone, I had gone out at night around 10pm with 20%, and lasted till 2-3am. If I did that with this phone I'd have a dead phone by 12am.

My battery usage only has Chrome and Nova Launcher on it, I've got power toggles on my home screen keeping everything unnecessary off unless I need it. I've got widgets and mail fetching data hourly but it can't be that crazy. I'm afraid to use the phone without a charger in fear of the battery getting drained too fast, especially because the phone doesn't charge quickly either.

Really torn on what to do because like I said, really in love with the rest of the Phone, and the thought of using Touchwiz makes me want to vomit.
