That's why I immediately jumped to sunshine. HTC doesn't know I unlocked my bootloader. So as long as I can still flash, I can reverse everything and send it in for warranty. ;)

What you all think about mine battery stats
[One (M8) General] :
It's OK.... Tho I think your weak signal may be draining you a bit... Since your held awake time isn't that bad.

It is simple. Unlocks bootloader and s-off you... And HTC doesn't know, so warranty in tact . Assuming you are able to return everything stock when you need warranty. ?
[One (M8) General] cjbart1009:
And for that I would need a back up I assume. Can I back up before doing sunshine?

Sent from my HTC 1M8
[One (M8) General] :
Well, you can try a backup... But you would need root to do it.

You can try helium. Apparently it works for non rooted. Then transfer it's backup to pc.

And I'm no expert on the M8 at all.... yet... ? But on most devices unlocking the bootloader wipes the device clean. Not sure with sunshine though. My phone was clean when I did it....

Either way, I'd transfer pics and anything else you don't want to lose to your pc first. ?

Sorry mate, just been tied for time.

There's something still not right... Unless there's somethin I'm missing of your settings/usage ?

You should be able to get longer screen on time, and if less, then longer active/standby time. 1.1-2.0% an hour in the latter state.

How long do you have data on for during a charge?

And fb usage?

What's the battery icon in the top left? (Disable it). Monitoring services are hogs, just remember.

Media, yea, it's constantly scanning your card and refreshing thumbnails, etc. It'll kill your battery in no time.

I remember all this from the painfully enjoyable Desire days :D

I wanted to answer that question, but in a spontaneous way. You're out and about when you see the battery is like 5%... How long do you have left with sync/data on but skimpy usage?

I came to that situation today where my phone hit 3% left at 5hr SOT and 46% battery used. So I left everything as normal, using my Dot View case, but just left the phone in standby, checking apps only every 30mins.

It lasted for 3 hours more before hitting 1%. That's 1% an hour. Useful to know I think. And that's without the Extreme Power Saver mode :)

Roms themselves make little difference in battery life. It's setup and usage that makes the difference. Roms and kernels don't really matter. ?

Nothing too intense for use. Mostly Tapatalk and browser and some texts.

The difference today is that it's the first day on my M8 I haven't used auto brightness. Which seems to go to full brightness a LOT . I use "display brightness" from the play store. A very customizable, always in top manual brightness slider. And I keep screen as dim as is comfortable. Huge difference in my battery from auto brightness to manual. Huge!

From a day of fairly heavy usage -

I spent pretty much the whole day at home just playing games on Drastic DS, listening to music, some web browsing, and messing around with my homescreens on Nova, and had a couple of short calls.

On Skydragon TMO v2.0, ElementalX kernel, and Project Era. Undervolted -30mV, multicore power saving set to 2, Max GPU freq. at 462, Max CPU freq. at screen off set to 652800, and battery saver on the whole time.

Battery life is so much better compared to my old Lg Optimus G, no worries at all getting through a day of mild usage
[One (M8) General] deedok:
I wish my battery will last for a day or more. My battery gets drained for 19hours only. Not much of gaming. Facebook/Chats only. Maybe 2-3hours of usage with Mobile Data. Im on stock rom. Updated to 4.4.3 .
[One (M8) General] :
More in depth screen shots would help. But I'm guessing your signal can dip low? Social apps and a weak signal while on data is a killer.

And you have a large amount of awake time. Need to check your wakelocks. But you need to be rooted and need gsam root companion to see them.

How does the voltage get set by the phone and impact the life?

I see lots of screenshots on here where the voltage is about 3.5 to 3.7, but mine seems consistently at 4.2 and I'm wondering if that makes a big difference to screen on time? GSAM tells me I'm getting just short of 5 hours screen-on but my original M8 got me over 7 hours out of a charge and it showed lower voltage.

(I'm running stock, location services off, android device manager off, google now off, and using Tasker to turn off wifi and data when not needed and turn autosync off overnight....)

Thanks. I'm not concerned, more just interested and hadn't noticed the battery level so that's a fair point as mine is actually just under 4v now.

Just short of five hours is easily double what my old One X gave, so I'm happy with that. Would love to get 7+hours like my first M8 (had to return it, faulty power button). No idea how two handsets of the same model with the same apps installed and the same settings can give such different battery life, though I have noticed my current handset is much slower to respond to changes in light levels, and doesn't change brightness as frequently as the first one... oh well....
