You no this happened to me. On viper with ex .10 at the lowest clock and uv my battery life was horrible. As soon as I went back to stock rooted, switched to ART runtime and applied the kernel settings, my battery life had been amazing. I wish I could provide a screen shot But I started seeing my screen time hit closer to 6 hours. That's with Gmail Facebook and instagram syncing. A ton of text messages. Browsing the internet, etc. Just putting in my two cents. Also, I DO NOT have greenify running. I only disabled apps to my liking.

I haven't got any stats to tell you, but all I know is compared to phones I've had previously which included Note II and several generations of iPhone the M8 has amazing battery life. Even under stress of gaming etc. I'm constantly surprised at how long I get out of it.

The fact I don't need stats and that it's clearly noticeable through my usage speaks loads to me personally.
[One (M8) General] aussieak:
about 2 weeks now and I am enjoying very good battery life. Discounnect from charger at 2am and back on charge around 9pm when I go to bed. this included 11 hours of BT connection to either my car or HTC Bluetooth head sets. lots of short calls browsing and reading emails. Some games as well but maybe only 10-20 mins.
[One (M8) General] rav101:
I've had my M8 for a while now but only just installed GSam to get some proper battery stats.

Unplugging at 7am with average use during the day on LTE but no wifi or bluetooth, I can get to night with around 40-50% battery. If needs be I could go a second day with more careful usage. Definitely a lot better than the M7 I had before and I believe most other smartphones on the market.

Interestingly, I have noticed (at least for me) that I am not able to get as good battery life out of a GPE rom as I was put on a sense rom (Sky dragon vs ARHD).

[One (M8) General] Leondreux:
I normally get a whole day out of my battery, even while playing a few games and texting a lot. I take my phone off the charger at about 7 in the morning and it doesn't get put back on until about 10 at night, even though I'll have about 30 or so percent left on a normal day. Overall, it's better than my old iPhones and definitely a lot better than my ancient android from a while back.

[One (M8) General] My Beer Belly:
I've had the phone a week and average about 36 hours total with 3-4 hours screen time. I do have a lot of notifications and syncs disabled, and use Tasker to automatically toggle different radios/gps when necessary. The shortest time I got was about 20 hours with 6-7 hours of screen time but I was doing lots of setup and fiddling with settings. I've gotten nearly 2 days with just my normal operation which includes very little media/games.

I just installed ARHD 5.5 yesterday as well as a few xposed modules to hopefully increase battery life. I rewrote some Tasker profiles to really hone in wifi/gps signals and I'm going with a really aggressive Greenify approach that includes nearly everything that syncs or uses location pings (even Play services/Google Now). Then used ROM cleaner to clean out a bunch of HTC bloat that should prevent a few wakelocks. I'm debating on installing a kernel and doing some basic undervolting and tweaks to further increase battery. With all this I'm hoping I can get 2 days of normal use or at least 36 hours of heavy use with 7+ hours screen time.
[One (M8) General] Shebee:
People who get 6h+ sot, can you please tell your kernel, rom, brightness, what apps you use on a regular basis, 3g/wifi, listening to music/bluetooth whatever.

I can only squeeze out 4.5h at most :(
[One (M8) General] PunishedSnake:
That's what I have

I'm pure stock
[One (M8) General] xdracco:
so, my last 4 charges have lasted me 2 days + a few hours. i do use a variety of things to help keep battery usage in check but i couldn't get this much out of my m7.
[One (M8) General] BrandonPrice31:
What the heck did you do!?
[One (M8) General] xdracco:
what did i do? hehe.

1) my rom recipe is => stock google play edition + root + xposed + xprivacy + gravity box

2) bought Tasker ($3)

2.5) bought Greenify ($3)

3) bought Lux Auto Brightness ($1.50, i think). The stock auto brightness implementation is dismal. Lux offers a ton.

Specifically, here's what I've done...

i have 'Display On' and a 'Display Off' Tasker profiles. Display Off, triggered after 15 minutes, i throttle cpu to lowest, disable wifi (turn off), and hibernate apps quite a few apps.

Next, I have Tasker trigger a Lux trigger a day and nigh profile based on sunrise/sunset. day profile increases brightness average while night profile decreases average.

Next, when I don't need wifi, I shut it off. so, again, i use Tasker to achieve this. When I am not within a certain range of a few locations. ie: home, worm, friend's flat, wifi is off. In addition, i set wifi/radio scan times for tasker to lower/higher scan times (respectively) depending on if i'm connected to AP.

in my experience, I have found that switching radio from 4g to 2g (and vice versa) is not efficient. I just let the device do that. I think that the M8's radio is efficient in its own right that i don't need to worry about it (unlike the M7).

That's about it. i'm not a gamer but i am a minority user. and i hope my battery isn't a dud. hehe.
[One (M8) General] BrandonPrice31:
Would you be able to upload your tasker profile! If so, that would be amazing!

What system apps have you greenified?

What are your setting for lux?
[One (M8) General] xdracco:
i don't use xprivacy with the goal of squeezing more battery life out of device. my default template is to deny identification, internet and phone privileges and adjust accordingly.

it'd probably be easier to tell you the apps i do not hibernate with Greenify...

Launcher (i use nova)

Zooper Widget

Lux

K-@ Mail

Dashclock

GPlay Services (all of them.. you hibernate one, they all go taking GCM push notifications with it)

Greenify (for obvious reasons)

Tasker

Swiftkey

MissedIt

I usually linger at around 800MB of free ram and 30 processes. I hibernate all apps, even apps that get GCM push notifications such as Tweetngs, VVM app. they work just fine (otherwise, i'd not hibernate).

Next is Lux. lux value to brightness. these are perfect. used this on my m7 and never once did i need to deviate from these profiles.

Lux Day profile

18 -> -10%

80 -> 15%

2500 -> 35%

7500 -> 55%

10240 -> 100%

Lux Night profile

18 -> -45%

320 -> 18%

2500 -> 29%

7500 -> 40%

10240 -> 50%

sunset/sunrise task switches lux profiles. the script to get sun times runs once every 8 hours and the script to see what lux profile needs to be active runs every 20 minutes, all day. Inactive times do not impact battery (i don't think).
[One (M8) General] BrandonPrice31:
Dude, you're awesome! Do I set Lux to auto and on awake, dymanic etc?

Can you please upload your tasker profile because Im having a hard time setting it up.
[One (M8) General] ivicask:

[One (M8) General] My Beer Belly:
I have a tasker profile that waits 2 minutes after screen off and then uses taskkiller to kill Play Services and then hibernates all greenified apps. Play Services is set to hibernate and I have very little issue getting notifications from anything including Gmail/messages.

I do get a lot of wakelocks though from my dialer. I just tried greenifying it and I could still call my voicemail and had my wife call me to test if I could receive calls. Everything works there. I'm assuming if I greenify the 'phone' app that I wouldn't able to make/receive calls but I guess the dialer app is unrelated to that. Any issue with using greenify on your dialer?

I ask because I'm trying to hone in battery life as well. You really don't try to greenify Play Services? It is one of the biggest battery hogs and in the two days since I set up my tasker profile to kill it, I've not noticed any difference in functionality.
[One (M8) General] L3TH4L:
Full day

I'm a fairly active user though even stock I could get a full day out of it. I initially started out using power saving just because i expected the battery life to be abysmal but was pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to.
[One (M8) General] shox22:
try "wakelock detector", should help you to find the problem. In the settings you can enable the function to also show system apps.
[One (M8) General] rotchcrocket04:
I was thinking about it and I don't believe I rebooted after installing about 25 updates yesterday. Hoping it was something simple like that.

Wakelock Detector showed "Power Manager Service wakelock" which looks like it could be a combination of a number of different things. Trying to get this figured out. Hopefully it's something simple.

Phone has been on for 8 minutes since the reboot and is only showing 30 seconds of held awake time. Hoping this cleared it up.

Thanks for the help and tip, friend. :good:

Edit: Phone has been on for on for 48 minutes and been held awake for about 4 minutes. That seems a little better. :)

[One (M8) General] :
Yeah and this is my final update as I've got to go out now but like I said I've hammered it all day to see what I could do.

2 short calls, loads of texts and WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter, some browsing and music for half hour, and a few pictures taken of the dogs. As you can see its going to get over 7 hours of screen time on WiFi. I'd expect 4G will be around 4/4 and a half hours.

Battery life on this phone is pretty good.

[One (M8) General] WhiteHartMart:
Phone battery life seems incredible. No full charge stats yet but received mine at 1pm yesterday. 19 hours later and I still have 21% left despite all the downloading and setting up of apps and the change to ART this morning. The thing has had plenty of that 'new phone' playtime too.

Noticed that standby drain was incredibly low - best of any device I've had.
[One (M8) General] xdracco:
Your first mistake is using a task killer. they don't work. They are a gimmick. In fact, they waste battery. The goal is to reduce CPU ticks, not make more. My recommendation, get rid of task killer and stick to just hibernating with greenify.

Sense dialer? If so, I can't even guess. I'm on stock GPe and it doesn't cause concern for me. i don't hibernate it.

I do not hibernate play services (or any other system application for that matter). i'd lose push notifications (as you already know). I do hibernate everything else (except those apps l listed previously), including google play store.

The application triggering most wakelocks on my device is currently k-@ mail but it's nothing worth concern.
[One (M8) General] BrandonPrice31:
You do know that Greenify has an option to enable push services on all greenified apps with Xposed :)

Works perfectly too!
[One (M8) General] My Beer Belly:
I found another suggestion which is to use the xposed module Wakelock Terminator. I can then prevent Google Play Services from certain wakelocks. I followed this guide: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/com...yet_for_google_services_battery_drain/ce14b0a

Google Now still works and I've had no issue with any location settings since I started using it. I think I like this option more since I'm able to prevent the main battery drain of the Play Services without having to outright kill it and possibly affect its function. I've removed all mention of play services from Greenify and don't notice any additional wakelocks or awake time in BBS.

Do you use Greenify Pro? It still allows GCM notifications. I tested by greenifying gmail and some other apps and still received their notifications. It also says it will allow telephony alerts to wake up greenified apps (such as phone/SMS) but I don't quite trust it that much to risk missing any calls/texts.
[One (M8) General] BrandonPrice31:
When you say play services, are you just talking about that one system app called google play services or are you talking about play store, music, videos from Google as well?
[One (M8) General] My Beer Belly:
The actual app that is under settings>apps>all. I do greenify the play store, music, youtube and most everything google except Play services and Gmail. If gmail started giving me a lot of wakelocks then it would get greenified too.

No specific settings, I just have all auto sync, auto updates etc turned off and "greenified" everything. I have the stock battery saver running of course, as you can see at top left.

Don't really have anything special going on though. It's strange though, if I surf the web or google + I get 6 hours or so screen on time with 10% or so battery life remaining, yet I watched youtube for hours on end and managed to get 10+ hours.

de-greenify GSAM and you will have this right .
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
You're absolutely right, if you greenify GSAM the stats do get messed up, I even saw the battery drainage showing -28% in whatever amount of hours, but I "de-greenified" it a while ago already precisely because of that. At first I thought it was because of xposed modules but realised soon enough it was because of greenify.

So the stats there is with GSAM already "de-greenified". I can't say why the held awake shows 0, don't know either, but let's be fair and assume that it somehow still got "messed" up, I know for a fact that my screen on time was at least a minimum of 8hours anyways, like I said in my post there, I watched code geass for 7.5hours straight and definitely had 30+ mins screen on time reading my emails and google+. So even IF we can assume the 10hours 35mins is wrong(like you suggest it might be), I know I still have at least 8hours minimum screen on time with 22% battery life remaining at that point, which in my opinion is still very good. :good:
