Then you manage the opposite of my device. I saw again after my full charge tonight, I went over 4hours+ without dropping even 1%, stayed 100% for almost 4hours and 43mins, I made a phone call during that time and browsed a bit through my bbm and gallery.

The moment I opened Google+ again the battery got drained! Dropped 6% in over 38mins, google+ surfing is taking a lot out of my battery, yet youtube doesn't do a lot to my battery. It's odd..

Tapatalk is so-so...Google+ though, tsch :eek: I think I'm starting to hate it, battery sucker that thing :crying:
[One (M8) General] rizevnarastek:
Well I've mostly had the view on BlinkFeed (Google+ is in highlights) so I didn't actually browse the app very often...
[One (M8) General] 007xico:
Over and over again there is always something with Android phones.

I had a lot of them and there is always a problem, I am stock and battery life is ****.

Is an Android user supposed to be a pro to use the phone?

I know about root, greenify and other tricks but for once I want to use this as a phone and not a project.

Do I need to get an iPhone for that?

Had 2 nexus 7 and moved to an ipad mini retina and couldn't be happier, at least I get 15 hours sot with 16 days.

Any help would be appreciated.
[One (M8) General] carman594:
I too can sympathize. From all the reviews I was expecting stellar battery life but unfortunately I haven't been impressed. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it!

Here's some stats from me
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Have you tried maybe turning off the option for "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" or changing it to "Only when plugged in" ? Did you enable the Wi-Fi optimization setting to minimize battery usage when wi-fi is on?

---------- Post added at 03:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 AM ----------

What apps do you use that has high background data usage? Maybe go to data usage in setting... Settings >> More >> Data usage. Look at all the high usage apps at the bottom, open it up and check which apps use high background usage, maybe select restrict background data to prevent it from running in the background.

Also try and rather do syncing and updates manually instead of automatically, IF you haven't changed that yet.
[One (M8) General] carman594:
Nothing too crazy. Just my Google account syncing. And the only thing under data usage that might be a drain is Android Core Apps
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
What apps are those? I don't even see the grouping "Android core apps" on my device :confused:

I took off all the syncing with anything to do with Google, Google+ alone sucks enough battery, don't need the extra googlaches that comes with the rest of its apps/services including "locations finding". I don't even bother with maps at all.

I just don't get what the core apps are supposed to be though, like I said, I don't even have that at all :eek:
[One (M8) General] carman594:
Not sure. I have Google+ backup my photos but only when the phone is plugged in.
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Suppose you could try and wipe the cache and/or do a factory reset but that seems like a bit of a headache in itself, setting everything up all over again.
[One (M8) General] lilliput222:
someone mentioned it's wifi, specifically, wifi receive. Something is probably sending packets to the phone while it's connected to wifi, waking it up.

Windows Media Centre/DLNA or whatever it is (that show up under 'media devices' in network in Win 7) are known to cause this, with some devices anyway.

source - google
[One (M8) General] carman594:
I was thinking the same thing. I definitely don't want to do a reset if I don't have to. I can't find how to clear the cache on this phone?
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
I take it you know how to get into recovery mode though? The option to wipe the cache is in recovery mode.

If not:

Shutdown your phone. When phone is off, press and hold volume down button, while holding volume down key, press and hold power button. This will take you into hboot screen. Select hboot(with power button), scroll down to recovery(with volume down button) press power button when recovery is selected. This will then take you into recovery mode.

If you have TWRP or Philz recovery you can see option there to wipe cache / wipe dalvik cache etc.

If you have stock recovery and you end up with a black screen with a red triangle in it but no options: Hold volume down button and just TAP power button, this will then take you into stock recovery menu. Again, you should see the option to wipe cache there.
[One (M8) General] 007xico:
A google search tells me that is a wifi problem, the apps i have installed that are related with a media sever/dlna are plex, ds audio and video that use with my nas.

I am no expert but the user shouldn't be worried with this problems, should be the apps or os sorting out this.

I will try and uninstall a few apps.
[One (M8) General] carman594:
thanks! Just did it, we'll see if it makes a difference. I started with a phone that was plugged in and had 100% battery. After I wiped the cache and restarted the phone, the battery went down to 95% and is now slowly climbing back to 100. Not sure if that's related or not. Also, I'm using an aftermarket charger as I found the included one to be extremely slow and the cord was not long enough for my liking. Not sure if this'll make any difference
[One (M8) General] lilliput222:
i prefer you to root and greenify apps , also set the ip address from dynamic to static in your mobile wifi settings ...
[One (M8) General] carman594:
We shouldn't need to root the phone to get the battery life that's expected.
[One (M8) General] 007xico:
I stopped rooting because I loose my bank apps and they are important to me. I used to constant flash my previous phones. I will be trying and uninstall some apps.

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

How do i set a static IP?
[One (M8) General] lilliput222:
Open wifi settings tap and hold / click on ur wifi name you are connected , select modify netwrk config / advance setting .. thn click on advance option , under ip settings change it to Static and put sum static ip like .. 192.168.1.150 as the case may be . You can hibernate apps even without root in Greenify ...

Should I disable google drive to fix wakelocks?

Is there any other way?

HTC One M8 & Tapatalk
[One (M8) General] ivicask:
As i wrote in Elemental thread..

If your using new Google play services they seam to cause lots of wakelocks for lots of users. Use old one 4.3.24 and you wont have problems.

Flash from recovery, make sure your running 4.3.24 after flash, or remove any updates you installed before.

Not too bad in my opinion
[One (M8) General] AwsmStar:
I'm averaging 5.5 - 6 hours screen on 4G all day (no wifi at all). A good 25% better than my S4 using it exactly the same. Impressive considering the S4 has around the same capacity on paper.

Depending what exactly you do, you can reach 50 hours with 4-5 hours screen ontime.

so will it a big jump from nexus 4 to htc one m8 battery life?
[One (M8) General] elsworth1983:
If you have claimed your free storage via Google drive you could try and disable it, or if your rooted could try greenify of the playstore
[One (M8) General] carman594:
So I've been getting some intense battery drain from Google Maps navigation. Does this battery life look pretty standard or should it be much better? Is there anything I can do to improve it?
[One (M8) General] Darkseth:
Yes, from a Nexus 4 the difference should be VERY big (at least 50% more).

You arent just getting 2100 mAh --> 2600 mAh (which is also li-poly instead li-io), but also a more efficient hardware, which consumes less juice.

Subjectively, even my Galaxy S3 with the original 3000 mAh Battery pack had a worse battery life than the M8.
[One (M8) General] cheno1115:
Does anyone know where GSAM classifies the LED flash? I use the Tesla app to turn on my led flash and use it as a flashlight for very long periods of time and I don't know where it's putting that power consumption in the app.
[One (M8) General] stanley08:
Those complaining about battery life issues, some of you might have caused it right from the first day.

As far as I know, the first charge is the MOST IMPORTANT charge. Whenever I buy a new phone, while still turned off, I make sure it charges full. While still plugged in, I turn the phone on and let it charge for an extra 30 mins. This is a personal 'ritual' I guess. But it has never let me down. Great battery on every phone I have owned till now.

Again! It could always bw ur apps and usage. Read my battery saving tips thread in my Signature. The second part should help improve your battery life. Cheers! :)
[One (M8) General] carman594:
This is hard for some of us as many times the store workers turn on the phone before they give it to you
[One (M8) General] exSD:
lol no. what is this 19-****ing-50s battery tech. that entire post is broscience

people who dont get super great battery life are likely in average to below average reception for either or both data and cellular coverage

people in big corporate buildings probably also have 3g/cellular repeaters in the building to help out and those things are wacky sometimes if not properly setup/maintained

too many variables with app usage/data usage/text messages/services/screen on time/how often you turn your phone on and off has a great affect on battery life too (if you turn it on and off every minute it WILL suffer), users also lie about their true usage (yeah, i can get great battery life is i claim 2 text messages a day is moderate usage when that isn't even super below light usage in my mind)

:cyclops:
[One (M8) General] stanley08:
Lol it's fine to turn on the phone and go through it. Of course you have to see what you are paying for. Lol I always always check the phone. Before i pay for it. Just the basics. But nothing more than 5 minutes before i turn it off. My brother bought a blackberry phone sometime ago, he put in his sim card and started making calls with it, right from the store and kept using the phone with the factory charge. And that battery was terrible! It could charge fully in 2.5 hours but would stay on only 30mins to 1 hour. Haha. Lost 30 to 40% overnight. Was a terrible case. Haha! :D

Lol. I TOTALLY agree with you. If you had read my battery saving thread, u would see that i covered all these and more. Too many variables. wayyy too many. :D

[One (M8) General] cristy7610:
if you take a look af the highest SOT screenshots, you will see that the main factor for good screen time is the signal.All screenshots with good battery have also good signal there.

good signal=>good battery life
[One (M8) General] Eezay:
Pretty impressive, what do you guys think?
[One (M8) General] kura808:
I've been using my m8 for several days so far. Battery life is pretty good. 50% used, 1 day 2 hours standby with 3 hours 24 min screen on time. If I kept up my normal usage to 0, I'd get at least 6 or close to 7 hours screen on time. Quite impressive considering my Xperia TL only had about 4 hours screen on time from full to 0.

Edit: stock. No root. No s-off. No unlocked bootloader. Still has all the AT&T bloatware but it's all disabled.

Battery drain is much worse using CM11 regardless of kernel, but I've found that under heavy use conditions it still gives a full day of use with battery to spare, which is very nice.
[One (M8) General] aka120:
Here is my personal best, over Memorial Day weekend. Great signal, very few calls, quite a few hours of YouTube and web surfing, and no GPS or WiFi was used during this entire time.

This is

NOT

my normal useage by no means. I normally have 2-5 hrs of phone calls and loads of GPS which sucks the battery right down. Plus I travel all over N. America so I encounter loads of bad signal areas which does cause battery drain.
[One (M8) General] vRS Carl:
This looks awesome however it needs dividing by two as I had turned the phone off to charge it overnight (ran it down to 16%) but for some reason it hasn't shown the charge whilst the phone was switched off. It has been charged once in the past 3 days (last night) and I've been using the phone a lot today taking pictures hence the higher than normal drain today.
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Not impressed at all, if you managed to get 12:02:50 then it would have been nice.

Nice one...I also found that watching youtube even with mobile data usage doesn't take that much battery life... while surfing a bit with google+ on the other hand, ugh, epic fail :silly:

:good:

And yes, I'm well aware that you got more than 12:03:00 because the time stamps for the rest of the screenshots confirms as much at least =oP
[One (M8) General] aka120:
Lol thanks, I plugged the charger up at about 12:07:00 or so. Main apps were YouTube, Internet, and Mx Player Pro. All are very low on resources with brightness on dim and a strong signal. My average SOT is about 6 - 6 1/2 hrs at best tho.

Auto Sync on

Location services - Battery saving mode

HTC Auto backup off

100% on wifi, not connecting to LTE

Power saver is off, only kicks in when battery level falls to 14%

Only use the phone for browsing, facebook, WhatsApp, blinkfeed, youtube, take about 10 photos (no gaming)

Everything on stock, non-rooted and no greenify installed

Is this normal?

Nope I don't use any type of greenify app. And I don't use BlinkFeed that much really.

[One (M8) General] dsymbol:
That's a really good battery life with a REAL usage.

Mine is pretty good too, but I have Power Saver mode On plus I put the phone in airplane mode at night.

IMO, That's pretty bad. You need to investigate into what causes battery drain like this.

Not everyone is going to have the same 8 - 10h of SOT man.

Different apps installed, Different usages, WiFi, Radio signals, Bluetooth, 4G download ect... all those variables cause different SOT for each & every one.

Settings > Power > Usage

Tap on the App icon to find out its power consumption & whether it stays awake more than usual. If it does, greenify it.

I use GSam Battery, Wakelock detector, Greenify (Donation version) + Xposed to greenify system apps & GCM apps.

Anyways, here's my IC r200. Stock kernel, Power Saver on.

Phone was in Airplane mode at night.
