Gsam root won't install on L, system is full. Here are screens from wake lock detector, will this help? Sorry, also some of the awake time was due to music. I've already greenified weather and Facebook though.
[One (M8) General] :
Well, I don't know if your entire issue is from those... But the first 4 on the list are definitely hurting. Greenifying Facebook is a good step, but, without also Greenifying messenger, it will wake Facebook constantly. So Greenifying just Facebook will actually hurt you if messenger is waking it all the time. If you use either frequently, Greenifying won't help you... Only hurt, since they'll initialize every time.

Google search is likely due to google now. Or settings in Google now. It's not helping.

And weather you handled.

Try Greenifying Facebook and messenger. Turn off Google now. And see how that goes.

Even try a whole charge using your browser for Facebook... Just to see the difference. No messenger that day either. ??

Battery problem after system update

I have had my HTC One M8 for about six months. I have been very pleased with its battery life and was able to use the device all day until recently. A few days ago I was offered a routine update by HTC. The message indicated that it could take a while and I would be well advised to delay until I had wifi access. I did as suggested and initiated the update a little later from the HTC message. The process took around thirty minutes and involved system files as well as optimising app matters. My system is now Android 4.4.4, HTC Sense 6.0, Software Number 3.32.710.9, HTC SDK API Level 6.25, Kernel version 3.4.0-ga90a790 and@ABM105#1 SMP PREEMPT, Baseband version 1.22.21331147A1.29G_20.67.4196.01_F, Build Number 3.32.710.9 CL397296 release-keys.

Ever since, I have experienced rapid battery discharge rates and very slow charge rates. I cannot keep sufficient charge to operate the device for more than an hour or so and then it requires several hours to achieve around half charge. I have taken all of the suggested steps such as 'battery save' and 'extreme battery save', turned off location and so on to no real avail.

I would be most grateful for any advice as to other steps that I could take to improve the situation.

I have been using a lot of HTC devices and all of them have awesome battery life, every device that I used lasted for me day and a half maybe more, so I like HTC batteryes :)
[One (M8) General] OmniSlyfer:
Hi guys, i've a little problem with Android OS core apps. As you can see, the Kernel and Android System always drain a lot of battery. Considering that i'm not rooted, what do you think can I do? Or is it normal? In general both of them darin 2% less, but think time the consume was particularly high...
[One (M8) General] :
If you have sync, location services and Google Now all on.... Have a few social apps and use Google Apps... Those numbers are probably very accurate and normal.

But to see a better picture, since you're not rooted, at least posting the graph screen, or even the Gsam main screen will tell us if you're having app wakelocks. Though without root, tracking them down is very difficult. ?
[One (M8) General] OmniSlyfer:
I will post more accurate screenshots tomorrow, after a full day of discharge... However I have auto sync disabled, geolocation off, and Google+ and Google now disabled. I only have Facebook and whatsapp.

However I also use the music widget and the clock + meteo widget in my homescreen, but i've set the sync time for the meteo every 3 hours without location. Could it be the problem?? Maybe i could try to eliminate, but the problem is that it looks too damn good in my home xD
[One (M8) General] EntityReborn:
I usually have mine charging overnight, and during the day rarely go less than 60% unless playing games, reading a book, etc. I also don't have cell data enabled, so that would affect it as well.

Well when I was on 4.4.4 i had the same problem. But i installed somehow 4.4.3. And everything want back to normal. As you can see. I have to correct my post. I am on 4.4.3.
[One (M8) General] xsardax:
Yea, I see that. I have constantly 60-65%, even on 4.4.3.

Hm ... I see that FB and Android Core Apps are top on my list, more than 10%, at your SS, only 1-2%. That difference is obvious at SOT. I have 5-5.5 hrs SOT always, and I don't use power saver also.

Hi

Can i ask which Rom you have 8 Hour SOT ? Stock Rom ?

gr
[One (M8) General] :
Doesn't matter. A few different Sense roms and a couple Aosp roms.

It's my setup and usage that are responsible. Instead of going into it... Read the first 2 posts in the battery thread in my signature. That's how I'm setup always... And yes, I don't do many CPU intensive activities on my device, no games usually and no social apps.

Mostly just Tapatalk, browsing and texts.

So obviously not everyone will get the same results if their usage is more CPU heavy and without doing their setup just like mine. ?
[One (M8) General] :
Here's my average from gsam(bottom of screen) ... Compiled since October, so a very accurate average over that time frame...not just a day of leaving my screen on for 8 hours doing nothing... to boost my screen shot. Lol

[One (M8) General] fguerra024:
Did a full battery run today and was quite impressed. Running Skydragon 4.2.1 with SD Kernel 3.0.4.

I'd say it was quite heavy usage. Lots of screen on time and watched numerous Youtube videos. Also lots of Google Play Music, including some streaming (most of my music is downloaded to my device though). Bluetooth always on as well as I use a Fitbit Flex

Greenify running as well.
[One (M8) General] andezzat:
I'm not happy with battery life (entirely).

I've greenified FB Messenger. And my drain off-screen is 1% or less and with location on (power saver) and I am okay with that.

However!

My on-screen drain is INSANE. I lose 1% every 3-4.5 minutes. 5 minutes if I am lucky. And this is not intense stuff, just browsing Chrome or the Play store or on my honescreen.

Can someone explain what the heck is going on?

HTC One M8 converted to RUU 5.0.1 GPE - rooted - custom kernel (hypernova).

Appreciate your help in advance guys. I would be psyched if I could eek out 6 hours SoT over 18 hours or even 16!

P.S.: some of that awake but not on-screen time is attributed to phone calls which can easily be 30 minutes.

P.P.S: BT always on for my Moto 360.
[One (M8) General] threetwentyfizzle:
Dude, that's not that bad. I'm averaging 4 hours SOT as well, I think that is about average. It all depends on your setup and what your doing, brightness settings, and other things. Your standby drain seems awesome so I wouldn't complain too much. Idk how some people are getting 6+ hours SOT unless they are underclocking and undervolting pretty heavily, with minimal minimal brightness and no cell network connected. Just my .02..
[One (M8) General] krazie1:
You still running sinless rom?
[One (M8) General] malteasers:
That's pretty good, at least compared to mine. My standby time is awful

Look for partial wakelocks using BBS and grernify/uninstall the culprit.

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

Thank you for making me worry less. I'd hate to underclock :(

Also!

I lost 1% over 3 hours because my moto 360 died. Why do you get such bad off-screen drain? You monitoring with BBS?
[One (M8) General] malteasers:
I'm not rooted, there isn't much I can do. Doesn;t BBS not work completely because the partition in L is almost full? Also does Android OS and System jump to the top of your battery list? Also don't know what's waking it up all the time. Wifi scanning, location reporting, all automatic syncs off, and it still wakes up a bilion times.
[One (M8) General] :
Without root, you can't see app wakelocks. Nothing you can do. Extremely hard to track down with no root.
[One (M8) General] andezzat:
Lollipop system is full. I deleted useless ringtones and that freed up enough space (I improvise ;) )

Anyhow. Root and try that! It helps SO much,especially the watchdog function, it will automatically alert you next time you wake up your phone if it's been awake while off for 30%+ or whatever number you set it to!

It's great! :)

[One (M8) General] ray3andrei:
Terrible battery life, i had almost double the sot with sense and 4.4.4, im on elementalx, pretty much the same as the stock kernel for battery life, Also Chrome drains a LOT of battery like seriously it took 20% on lowest brightness in 1 hour

9gag for example took half that on higher brightness
[One (M8) General] shiniyoyo:
That's actually quite decent on Lollipop. Remember it is a new release so battery will be iffy the first few versions. If you don't like it, go back to sense.
[One (M8) General] :
If you're rooted, you need gsam root companion and see the times waking device and held awake time to see why you have 2 hours of wakelocks in 18 hours. That's excessive. ?
[One (M8) General] L1nuz:
I switched rom to cm12 like a week ago and I'm really pleased. Runs very stable!

For those who wanna try a new mod.. I can recommend cm12, even if its pre nightly

This stats are with moderate use.. no gaming, lots of reading on my sic day lol... taptalk, reddit, news, youtube, music etc...
[One (M8) General] Abaddon:
it's on. there was no data coverage while I took the screen cap.
[One (M8) General] Slicktune:
Yeah my battery life sucks on this GPE ROM, I'm like 2hrs behind you.. This is pathetic... I don't get it... I'm under clocked and everything (meaning I might be showing a slight bit of lag), this battery life behavior on mine is uncalled for.. By the way I'm running the latest sky dragon kernel. What kernel are you running if you don't mind me asking... Thanks in advance!

By the way the only reason I don't flash any cm12 Roms is because of the horrible horrendous horrific sound distortion at loud volume... I have to keep attending the volume meter like a baby sitter just so I don't blow out my dual speakers.... Inconvenient...

But thanks in advance!
[One (M8) General] L1nuz:
Thats actually not bad stats! Its definitely not pathetic by any means xD

I did a RUU convert from stock sense to GPE and installed cm12 from there.. thats it

version-bootloader: 3.19.0.0000

version-baseband: 1.21.213311491.A04G

version-main: 3.11.1700.5

Try the latest builds from pagoweb.. I don't get any of those buzz and beeps since 12-23

Good luck!
[One (M8) General] Slicktune:
Thanks, who's your carrier? And did you add a custom kernel to your rom??

Thanks again! By the way, my usher time was amazing in the first screen shot, but then it went downhill from there and ended with only 6hrs and 44 mins of on screen... It ticks me off a bit because I've seen ppl get 9hrs in this thread... And mine can't get to at least a solid 7 hrs.... Makes me rethink the fact that I actually chose this M8 over the Moto X 2014... [emoji20] [emoji20]
[One (M8) General] L1nuz:
My phone is unbranded and not locked to any carriers from the start if thats what ure asking...

No custom kernels.. as stated.. only did a GPE RUU and flashed cm12 on it.

Im not really up to date with custom kernels yet.. just did S-Off last week to be able to RUU GPE.

Honestly... why dissapoint of your stats? Are u really in need of that extra hour? Don't you have access to power to charge up the unit regularly?

I had around 6½h of SOT with stock sense and I was very happy with that... 2 solid days without the need of charge is plenty in my book...

don't worry.. be happy xD
[One (M8) General] Slicktune:
See this is the stuff that really grind my gears

1. 2300mah dog turd battery

2. No custom roms or kernels to help their battery so imagine when they do

3. We beat Samsung's S5 2800mah battery but moto x is up to par with ours and better than Samsung Galaxy s5!!! And cost less with A BIGGER SATURATED SCREEN!!! meaning it should consume more battery because of their bigger screen...

I just don't get it... I'm livid!!!!
[One (M8) General] L1nuz:
I don't know motoX hardware specs.. but its not a competition.. perhaps they don't have as good components as m8 and therefore last longer with lower mAh.. usually is ;)

Anyways.. are you really using your phone more than 6 hours SOT per day, without possibilities of charging?

On a normal day.. I have to work hard to be able to get down to 50%.. as soon as I get home from work, I put my phone to charge
[One (M8) General] :
Check out post 2 in the battery life help thread in my signature. That's how I am set up, it's how my Moto X was setup and how my N5 was setup.

So 3 devices all setup the same and same usage style.

The order of battery life went N5, Moto x a little better, and the M8 the best of the 3.

If you're not doing so good, you could have an issue, or it's your setup or your usage. But I promise you the M8 is the best of the 3 easily. ;)

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 AM ----------

Sorry, I see you are doing good...your usage may make 6 hours SoT normal. I average 8.
[One (M8) General] malteasers:
I don;t see why you are complaining about getting only 6 hours screen on, I can;t even get past 4. When I try to greenify some apps, they don't stay greenified, they wake up again. Location off, most syncs off. Will post screenshots when I get the chance. I would also like to thank Darth for putting up with all of my problems.
[One (M8) General] Slicktune:
Because I must not settle for less, but be settled when my $650 phone reaches its maximum capability. And I've clearly seen 9hrs of on screen time on here. Supportive is doing something right, and I wanna be no different.

When I achieve this.... Then I will stop complaining.. But till then.. I'm going to keep tweaking and tweaking... Till I get 9hrs... If I get 8 I might be satisfied... Just might...
[One (M8) General] shiniyoyo:

I'm running sinless GPE rom (Android 5.0) and my screen on time could barely hit 5hrs with a standby of 24hrs? Is this normal?

With kitkat sense, I could easily be getting 5.5~6hrs SOT in 30hrs standby
[One (M8) General] L1nuz:
I think 5.0 had some battery drain issues.. therefore they released 5.0.1.. its apparently better, but its not optimized still..

Im on cm12 and it works great... I flashed a minimal version of gapps and right now.. 50% and 6.5h SOT
[One (M8) General] Bobbi lim:
what's your standby time?
[One (M8) General] TwistyValhalla:
I'm on 4.4.4 stock and getting really good standby time. With sync, wifi, mobile data enabled I only lose about 1-2% over ~7 hrs. I used to lose about 5-6% before I disable some apps that used to run in the background. Screen on time is quite good too (auto brightness set all the way up). Overall, have to say I'm quite pleased. I hope the official Lollipop release will have similar standards.
[One (M8) General] ColdFire InOx:

What would your solution be to this problem considering I'm not rooted?. Should I disable them? If you have the donation package then you can if your not rooted.
