Here's mine.
[One (M8) General] aburgthing:
Thats not bad at all.
[One (M8) General] Hardcore73:
Wow almost 35% left and close to 5 hours on screen time with using it for 13 hours is impressive.
[One (M8) General] Bigal77:
Indeed....I'm guessing that's on Wi-Fi....I'd be surprised if that was using lte too

Do we still have to charge a phone the day we get it.lol....how does it work....Getting mine today
[One (M8) General] raichur0xx0rz:
Hm... I'd be curious to see some results from people with better signal as well.

I'd probably poor signal on mine due to T-Mobile though.
[One (M8) General] rotchcrocket04:
I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to screenshot it but my stats were as follows for the day (and I'm obsessed with battery life, I can assure you these stats are accurate) :

I received the phone yesterday at 1:30pm. Battery was at 47% out of the box. Used lightly for primarily texting, some browsing, and initial setup/light customization. On wifi for about 50% of the time.

Phone completely died

this morning

at 9am. Right before it died, it showed 2 hours and 39 minutes screen on time. With right around 19 hours of standby. The phone was

not

on wifi overnight - only LTE. From 10pm - 5:45am the phone lost 4% (15% down to 11%) sitting idle on LTE with only a few emails coming through.

I'll post my stats tomorrow morning. Currently charging at 90% - plugged in shortly after 9am.

From about 3/4 of a day of use, I'm pleased. My M7 seriously lacked with battery, especially standby on LTE. I can answer one question thus far, yes, this battery is noticeably better than my M7.
[One (M8) General] Bigal77:
I doubt the accuracy of the 47 to....probably tricked down quickly at first due to non use for so long. Also, batteries tend to get better after a few charges do that's really good

How long to charge 0 to 100? Was it with charger from box?

I can't wait for the quick charge 2.0 charger to release.....it Will charge in just under 80 minutes or so
[One (M8) General] Springy_Minaj:
The standby time on this phone is great..I'll try to post a picture tomorrow but I left it unplugged all night (7.5 hours or so) and only dropped 1%.
[One (M8) General] rotchcrocket04:
It just hit 100% at 11:25am. So (slightly rough) estimate was 2 hours and 25 minutes from 0% to 100%.

Yes, I used the supplied HTC charger that came in the box.

Edit: the first 20 minutes of that charge was with the phone off. I turned the phone on around 9:25am and it read 23% charged.
[One (M8) General] xShin:
My battery's been pretty good so far, even though I haven't been able to give it any full charge/discharge cycles yet. My only question though: every time I go into Settings > Power > Usage, it consistently shows "Android System" as being the highest (65% as compared to everything else). Is this normal? Thanks!
[One (M8) General] rotchcrocket04:
Mine is currently showing Android System at 87%. I haven't done much on this charge though, so that seems about right.

If you really want to analyze your usage, download GSam Battery Monitor. You can view a wealth of information about everything system/power related.
[One (M8) General] aysiana:
These are my battery stats so far. I charged it completely before turning it on and activating it around 3:45pm. It's now 12:45am so it's been up and running for about 9 hrs and I just took the screenshots (attached) and according to stats, I'm at 17% now. I have mostly been just installing my apps and getting it all set up how I want. No Bluetooth or GPS running, connected to Wi-Fi most of the time. Had 3 short calls. Haven't taken any pics or even opened the camera app yet.

Edit: okay I can't get my screenshots to attach ?
[One (M8) General] Frankie1588:
I got just about 6 hours screen on time before I plugged it in (11 hours total on battery). About 80% on WiFi. Very impressed as I usually got 5 hours screen on time which was already fantastic.

Use GSam battery monitor to get your screen on time. That's the most important factor for battery life.
[One (M8) General] aysiana:
Thank you, I just installed it and did a screen shot but some of the stuff says it's still calculating?
[One (M8) General] Frankie1588:
You're welcome! Im pretty sure you need to start over from a full charge to get accurate stats. It won't shown your display time since you unplugged since it wasn't previously installed.
[One (M8) General] aysiana:
Thanks.Ok well I'm draining very quickly now...down to 9% already. Gonna plug it up and go to sleep. Then tomorrow after I drain the battery again I'll check my stats again and post them back here. What do you recommend, should I set the app to monitor since last unplugged or since last full charge?
[One (M8) General] BeatsByMessi:

[One (M8) General] cheno1115:
Using the Revolution HD ROM 3.4. Upgrading to 5.0. Pretty nice battery life. Stock ROM couldn't produce this. This was using auto brightness too. If I had wifi off and minimum brightness I could have easily had 6-7 hours battery life.

I'll stick to the revo HD rom until there's an OTA from HTC that addresses battery life.

[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Did you use any LTE/4G during that run? Over that 54hour run I see you only used WiFi for 8 Hours. Was this with very very very light use?

Even so 8hours screen on time is great.
[One (M8) General] kEvinErd:
Phone radio < WiFi time..?

You're using your phone like a tablet?
[One (M8) General] DakiX:
Yes but not much. 8h Wifi is also actually not much in 54h but 8h DOT on a day already, in this case 4 per day. I have several Smartphones and do change, therefore, must each be not charged every day.

[One (M8) General] jayr04:
After that battery test I realized when I have WiFi calling on by default, the cell radio is completely off. This is the tmobile version btw. Today I'll turn it off and see how battery life lasts.

My "held awake" time tends to be higher than what I'm seeing from most of you... but then again I have a lot of things with auto-sync and background data enabled at regular intervals, so I'm sure that's the reason why.
[One (M8) General] StickyGeko:
I have gmail, twitter, Facebook, xda updates coming through all the time
[One (M8) General] Brava27:
Mine sucks. Not sure why. Was at 44% then after a reboot it was at %100. WTF?:confused:
[One (M8) General] xPhantom:
I see. This is what mine looks like right now. I have Google Now enabled, wifi on, location services on, HTC weather updates every hour, BlinkFeed, gmail, whatsapp, groupme, instagram, facebook, twitter, etc... and auto sync is on.

I'm pretty happy with the battery life. When I plugged it in last night, it had been unplugged after a full charge for 27 hours already with about 6 hours of screen on time. I've just noticed that my "held awake" time is higher than most of y'all's.
[One (M8) General] StickyGeko:

[One (M8) General] cheno1115:
GSAM just released an update that states in kit Kat there was a bug where an application usage would be added to the kernel usage and not under its own usage in the "app sucker" tab. People who had high kernel usage said see if it changed.

Since I left the stock Rom, could you tell me if the kernel usage has gone down since this new GSAM update has come out, after a day of use?

This was the last check on my battery life just before I plugged it back in to charge. I think thats pretty good, although today it's using quite a bit more.
[One (M8) General] cheno1115:
Can you post the "app usage" tab of GSAM? And if you're rooted GSAM will also show wakelocks if you download the GSAM root plugin front the play store.

Can't seem to discharge this battery easily lol battery life is freaking great on this beast :D

Venom viper Rom stock kernel auto brightness most of the time on 3G like about 50% of battery is on 3G and the other 50% mixed WiFi and 3G greenified all apps I don't use ! Took about from 20 to 30 pix ! Hell yeah HTC back on track ;)
[One (M8) General] cheno1115:
If you're rooted and have the GSam root plugin, you can go in that app sucker tab and sort by "time held awake" and then if you select the one with the highest percentage it will tell you what component of that is keeping hte phone from going into deep sleep.
[One (M8) General] andrewnelson:
It's excellent
[One (M8) General] Darkseth:
Trying to find out how much battery it drains during only standby (of course with fulltime WLAN on, Sync on, etc).

So far, 3 hours, 10 minutes since unplugged. Still 99%.

I think this will end at around 0.3%-0.5% per hour, which is awesome

(might be not as practical, but it bothers me when i lose 10% over night, instead 2-4%)

I'm running a cooked rom (currently Revolution) and I noticed that there's a lot of syncing going on with my Google accounts. It's been sucking down some serious battery life. I took it off the charger just before 9am and by 1030 it was down to 75%.

I disabled some of the syncing so I'm hoping it improves.
[One (M8) General] sbiricuda:
I haven't any screenshot to post, but for all those worried for the battery life..

IT'S AMAZING!

I can stay even 2 days without charging.

I leave home at 8:00 am and get back at 7:00 pm, no charge in the meantime.. I have an ordinary use of it (whatsapp, a little surfing, setting because it's new, little call.. all day long, tho) and it just consumes 35-40% of charge.

I'm quite pleased.

[One (M8) General] cheno1115:
Anyone with the Viper Rom wanna post their battery results? I'm on Android revolution and I still think I have potential for even more battery life.

What caused all that mediaserver usage of you know?

You should post results after you disable syncing, like I said I'm looking for more life out of my roms at the end of the day. I'm ending the day with about 30 percent. Which isn't bad, but could be better.

Not great. Would like to figure out how it can be so different for people
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Well I'm happy with the battery so far, will see how it goes when I can fully get the phone 'on the go'. I have no sim inserted yet(Still have micro sim and not nano sim lol) so can't use 3G/4G yet.

Got the phone today only, when I unboxed it the battery was 30% already. I watched some youtube, played music, played FM radio, played with camera, tried out blinkfeed(My first HTC phone this) went to some google+ and facebook. Kept it busy enough that my SoT took almost 80% and I still managed well over 3 hours before the damn thing FINALLY decided to die so that I can do my first full charge lol

So yeah I'm happy, can't upload my screenshot for gsam though, like I said no sim card yet, no wifi currently either, I'm at work and the phone is not on the company network so... Will upload battery usage after my full charge to discharge. That said though, I'm thrilled with the battery SO FAR from 30% - 0%...Especially the last 10% took forever to drain. Much better than I was getting out of my old trusty SGS3/Nokia N9.
[One (M8) General] charismatickiller:
Super happy with the battery. In the end I got another hour or so out of it.

[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Either way though, it messed up my battery test run so I'm not even going to bother to look at it even further. Sim swop & everything didn't help a lot at all. So I'll just use it up as much as I can AGAIN and then recharge from 0 to 100 and redo the test lol

Does anyone use Swiftkey for the HTC M8? What's the battery usage like for the app? I installed it on my phone and it seems like it takes quite a bit of juice(In terms of %).

To put into perspective here are some of the app usage.

Android System - 5.4%, Kernel(Android OS) - 4.6%, Swiftkey - 2.4%, XDA - 1.0%, System(ndroid.systemui) 1.0% ... BBM 0.7% <I mentioned BBM there because so far I've only used Swiftkey with BBM(Majority) as I was sending messages to contacts. I haven't used Swiftkey that much with anything else. I've only sent 2 messages in Hangouts, the rest was all in BBM but 2.4% ??

So has anyone else been using it and if so, how much juice is it taking out of the battery?
[One (M8) General] Brava27:
Good question. I use it aswell but I am not sure of the battery usage.
[One (M8) General] MrMario8:
using swiftkey also, but it shows only 0.2% consumed..

Posting replay here as THIS thread was closed due beeing duplicate to this one.

So regarding some thinking that HTC is cheating battery life..

Let me explain you how it works. HTC uses PnP profiles which automatically change system settings dependability on what you do. They have various profiles for most commonly apps used, like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, other HTC app's like camera, browser etc, and many more.

When you lunch an app, an optimized profile is lunched in order to provide most optimized experience balancing performance and battery.

Meaning when u lunch for example Facebook, it sets specific CPU/GPU/govenror, I/O settings ETC which works best for this app.Because why you need 2.5ghz quad core scrolling thru Facebook if it works absolutely smooth running for example 2 cores locked to 1.5ghz* .

This way you can get much better battery/performance results than using ANY governor in world no matter how "smart" it is, because most often it will raise CPU speed above needed and in that way use more battery than needed.

So i support HTC, some may call it cheating or what not, but if my phone is SUPER smooth and fast while my battery lasts long (Currently one of best battery endurance on market), than i don't see anything wrong with it.

EDIT:This is also the reason lots of users are getting worse battery life with custom kernel, because kernel devs disable PnP service and you loose above mentioned benefits.

1 Day 10 Hours @ 11%

I got 1 day 10 hours and still had 11%. This phone is AWESOME when not in use. At work my phone sits most of the time, but even with moderate usage I can easily get through 2 business days. I love it! Whatever happens when this thing is sitting on my desk it goes into a nice deep sleep, you can see the battery graph just level out. Haven't even got curious enough to install a new kernel. I am anal about applications autostarting, so I always disable crap using autostarts, I also freeze HTC crap I never use using titanium backup. All in all I haven't even been itching to drop a GPe ROM on here yet. Sense is much less intrusive now.

So that's how my battery went so far... Yes I'm well aware of the fact that the percentages doesn't make sense. I discussed that a few posts back, I had to sit off for 4+ hours when I did the sim swop. Looks good so far though.

[One (M8) General] daddioj:
thats what happens i guess when you get spoiled with huge batteries. i would charge my G2 and battery would stick to 100% for well over an hour before dropping with use. it was amazing.

dont get me wrong the phone is beautiful. quality and battery is better then last. i did get over 8 hours on screen time. but that was just mainly social media and texting on wifi. i would hate to see on 4g lte

[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Would be nice to have seen where you guys are losing out on..Does the OS take up most of the battery? Is it because of gaming? Does it just not drain at a slow pace while the phone sits one side in the room doing absolutely nothing? Are you watching an obscene amount of HD porn videos over LTE network with poor coverage?... Who knows, not us. "Not happy with" doesn't really tell the rest of the community anything.

And it's not really fair to suggest/imply that some might be paid to make up super stories about battery usage :eek:

Some more info would generally help a lot in these instances. For all I know you just downloaded an app that keeps your phone in an on state the whole time draining the battery like crazy while you're doing absolutely nothing. Who's to blame then? HTC or the person that downloaded the App? Or the App itself?:confused:

Besides... can we really honestly compare a 2600mAh battery to a 3000mAh battery? Just looking at it would suggest that the latter would out last the former regardless of some reporting better battery usage on the former. Suppose then it comes down to the user?
[One (M8) General] 3mar84:
LOL that was a lot of analysis, I am waiting to let the battery get in the recharge cycle few times and will post a picture of stats. To summarize my main usage is social networking, not much phone calls, not much video, I have no games at all, few camera shoots and that's it.
