4.4.2 is the best with a lot if we look at battery life vs 5.0.2/6.0 and gpe.

From 3 hours of SOT to 7 hours

Google services always be the culprit of battery drain. In my case, it tried to fix battery drain issues by reformatting but got no luck. What I've done to fix is just clear Google data and my phone get a good battery life again. 7 hours SOT including gaming, streaming YouTube, but mostly in social apps like Twitter and Instagram most of the time. Btw, I'm using Aukey Quick Charge 3.0 as it is compatible to QC 2.0 and below.

Power saving mode also add up 2 hours of SOT. If i turn it off I got 5 hours SOT. But my cell standby percentage got higher than before but I think it is a bug. Anyone got the same issue?

Attachments contains GSam screenshots before(Orange Color) and after(Blue Color) I cleared Google data.
[One (M8) General] racingmatt1:
What do you have your location set at (GPS only,battery saving or high accuracy). Also are you using Google Now and now on tap and by "google data " do you mean the google now app and/or play services?
[One (M8) General] Droff:
6.0 GPE Blues from lyapota. Stock kernel. No power saving mode. Brightness on about medium. Some greenifying of not often used apps for better sleep and more ram for frequently used apps. GPS on demand (tasker turns it ON/OFF for maps, uber and some other apps that actually need it). No other tweaks.
[One (M8) General] bayusuputra:
guys, anyone is experiencing the problem I am experiencing? Converted to full GPE MM a few months back, but the battery couldn't last that long and I had random shutdown when the battery reached around 30%. I converted back to Sense, but the problem got worse. I now have to charge 3 times a day just to keep my phone's battery above 50% to avoid random shutdowns which most of the times would mess my phone's settings. Changing ROM doesn't help, nor does deleting batterystats file. Anyone has solution? I'm running ICE with 6.12.401.4 firmware (S-Off). Could it be that I'm using WWE firmware (401) instead of the Asia-WWE firmware (707)? My phone's original CID is HTC_044 but is now using superCID, and the MID is 0P6B11000. Could it be the problem (using firmware different than the original one)? thank you!
[One (M8) General] Callliope:
I think your battery is faulty
[One (M8) General] bayusuputra:
That's what I thought at first, but then in the update thread, there are some people reporting the same thing. I thought the software messing up battery reading, as it first happened right after I convert to full GPE (I didn't even get any low-battery notification).

But it's okay, i will probably change the battery or get a case with built-in battery for it.
[One (M8) General] leandronb:
Do you guys use greenify with root or xposed?

I use with root and I think it is not hibernating apps.

Some apps are hibernating but some wakes itself and greenify do not hibernate them. The apps are Twitter, play newsstand, peel smart remote and some others.

The apps are waking and when I open greenify it just shows that they are awake.

I want to keep them hibernated all the time, unless I open them.
[One (M8) General] Callliope:
When they are waking up, you have in the right corner a little scissor, tap on it everytime you see it opened
[One (M8) General] leandronb:
But how? I only got this kind of sot when I played 480p TV shows from internal storage. If I use chrome or YouTube battery drains real fast, and don't matter the ROM. The only way to make it drain slower is enabling power saving mode and brightness all the way down, and even with this I can't get past 5:30min sot.
[One (M8) General] th3:
I have a much better understanding of HTC M8 and M9 now.

Prior to the last 3 months, I had only one model of each. Since then, I've had 3x M8 and 2x M9.

I can tell you one thing for sure. With the EXACT same settings, usage and ROM (just a transferred Nandroid), my other M8s cannot get anywhere near above 5.5hrs SOT. Even the one I'm currently using (newest) gets 3.5-5.5 hrs typically at average settings.

So it is DEFINITELY device variation [emoji3]

[One (M8) General] radeon_x:
I wouldn't normally comment on battery issues because there's so much variability between user habits, software, hardware, etc that any kind of comparison between users is virtually useless... However...

For the first time since switching to a GPE 5.x ROM, I've somehow managed eliminate my "Mobile Radio Active" bug.

I had pretty much come to accept this bug as a fact of life with any GPE ROM since 5.x first came out - no matter my configuration of ROM / kernel / etc, the problem always struck my phone. For the unfamiliar: it's when you get one or more apps that show a high "Mobile Radio Active" time in the battery stats, even though you've might have only used the app for a fraction of that time. Chrome for me was a bad offender. I might have only used it for 10 minutes but it would show 2+ hours of MRA time over the course of the day.

Anyway, now that the issue is resolved, I went from 3~4 hours of SOT over a 20 hour period, to 5~6 hours over the same period. And the other day I got about 4 hours SOT over a 48 hour period - which is absolutely unheard of for me. (I use an Exchange email account that pushes 24x7, so that hits my battery pretty hard normally). I used to think that maybe the MRA bug was just a "reporting" issue and that it didn't affect actual battery life - but clearly in my case it was genuinely draining my battery.

So what fixed it? Unfortunately I can't say for 100% sure what single thing it was because I changed a whole bunch of stuff at once - here's what I changed:

ROM: GPE 6.0 MRA58K.H12 (from the graffixnyc thread) (systemless root)

Clumsy kernel v2.00

NO Xposed + GravityBox

And just for reference, my M8 is S-OFF, using the Sense partitions, and on the 5.1 GPE firmware.

But anyway, after flashing the GPE 6.0 H12 build and Clumsy kernel - and maybe crucially NOT installing Xposed like I always do - I no longer have the MRA bug. Honestly the Xposed thing is very suspicious for me - I've never not had Xposed installed. I always use it in conjunction with GravityBox everytime I use a GPE ROM. I've tried so many different ROM and Kernel variations that have all had the MRA bug that it seems unlikely that H12 or Clumsy kernel fixed it - but who knows...

My MRA bug is gone - hope this might help someone else!
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
You can try the battery reset procedure, it's luring around and it takes small amount of time.

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

Most likely the vastly different bins for each SOC are taking their toll... but I suspected from a long time that the battery life is a hit or miss depending on luck. You can even see it with the vastly different SOT/battery life stats in this thread. That's bad and not fair as the difference is huge.

Btw, check your held awake/wakelocks as 2:40h is way too much. Normally after a day I got 30 mins max... this is abnormal and maybe something is killing your battery life.
[One (M8) General] th3:
It was playing music for about 2 hours ;)

I am in very bright direct sunshine with Google Now and 3G/4G always on these days, so let me test on a day off if more than 5.5hrs is doable at all on this device.

For my first M8, I never even thought about this. Routine +7hrs.

If you are not rooted, gsam reports battery % use wrongly. For example before I installed root companion gsam showed like 33-37% in bright light usage... now after I installed root companion it's a lot more accurate showing 50-55%(for the display). Stats are wrong without root companion, also kernel and system are not 15-17% as it's reported without root, they are below 10%. :)
[One (M8) General] Callliope:
Nope, with root companion, leedroid and elementalx kern
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
On any rom without root companion I had 17% kernel and system - both. Now with on 3 diff roms and 3 diff kernels I have below 10 on both. Your system usage is high, but dunno why.
[One (M8) General] Callliope:
Yea, i dont know either, full wipe to arhd still same problem, then full wipe to leedroid still same problem, signal isnt a problem, i really dont know what to do anymore...
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Maybe an app you actually use and thus install every time from the start? Hmmmmm now I am on the s.rom jw 5.4 (the last A9 port with sense 7_g) and same... 8% drop for 50 mins SOT on medium brightness and 70% display usage and super low app consumption(21% total for all apps). Dunno, really. :(
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
How here as already changed the battery with a new one? Did you noticed a significant difference in battery life?

Cheers
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Really depends on the current battery state... if it was used for two years one charge at a day - it should carry around 80-85% of the maximum capacity and that's not bad at all. I can still get up to 8h SOT and 20h on battery depending on usage... normally atleast 6h SOT.
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
I've noticed from what I've been reading here and AnandTech articles that the disparity between different user's SOT has to do 3 things: the kind of use each one has, the SOC, which can be slightly different in each smartphone, and the battery itself, which can also have differences. Otherwise, how could you explain me not never ever getting mere than 3,5h SOT on my m8, which I bought back in August 2014? Maybe if I change my battery things get better. I have to charge it twice a day now. I'm a heavy user and use 4g mobile date only, with auto brightness with the slider to the right, gps on exact location and Bluetooth always on, connected to my Moto 360.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Well, most likely the 4g is taking it's toll, same as the brighter display. That and ofc how you use your phone and the little things like soc bin.
[One (M8) General] th3:
I have never ever gone off review battery life tests - they're only an indication of comparing one to another, but not absolute values.

It's enthusiast end users who really get to understand the OOB (out of box) battery life and the properly, fully setup user battery life.

OT: my views on it so far aren't particularly good (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=66754607 like this) so I'm being conservative and holding onto it to see if I can find out the ways to make it awesome for myself. As you know, many HTC devices turn out kinda WIP but then become unbeatable. If not, I'll return it and keep the S7e (got both).

Also I'm not sure if my sample is a dud yet, but it's a review sample.

Hey guys, I recently bought my M8 off Craigslist. It was originally bought a year and a half ago. I had to send it in for a screen repair under warranty because it had some brighter spots in the lower right corner. Prior to that I tested the battery life a bit, and concluded that I could get around 6h of SOT while watching Twitch.

Now after the screen repair In barely getting 3h of SOT and most of the time even less. I'm not sure if I'm just using the phone more now, or if somehow they managed to screw with my battery. The battery life is pretty much the same on the official 6.0 and now on DU 10.2. I don't play games, I have Bluetooth turned on all the time, 1 email sync'd and Location turned off. I mostly only use Relay and Chrome, so basically Internet browsing only. This is extremely disappointing because I bought this phone to perform in the battery department, at least better than my former Redmi Note 2.

Is this a battery issue or software issue?

As much as I love the M8 i've been having a pretty torrid time with the battery.

I've read reviews whereby they state that the M8 is on par with LG G2 and coming from the G2 I can say that it certainly isn't.

This was this morning

[/URL][/IMG]

and this was around 4pm.

[/URL][/IMG]

[/URL][/IMG]

Location is turned on.

Am using LUX to manage the brightness and the only things that are being synced are my emails. Everything else is turned off including HTC backup and HTC account.

I would say that I'm a pretty heavy user and try as I might I could not kill the G2 battery and at the end of the day there would be at least 20-30% battery left.

However it's not the case with the M8. As much as I want to keep the phone I really couldn't live with a battery like this, is it defective? as I would really like to give this phone a chance. Is it worth getting a replacement and seeing if it's better in terms of battery?
[One (M8) General] rushless:
I think to get more objective battery feedback, it will take a week more to remove the new device pixie dust from a lot of people's thoughts ;)

Battery life is so subjective. The only thing that matters is comparing your own phones based on your own usage habits and network area.

Comparing anything else is comedy fodder.

GPE converted M8

I converted an AT&T M8 to a GPE as soon as S-OFF was available and I'm getting the best battery life of any android phone. Over 5 hours screen on time, less than 4 percent drain overnight and already 31 hours since last charge. This includes a couple of calls, web browsing and over 1 and a half hours of youtube with wifi on. I think battery life before converting was at least better than I had with the M7.

so far very happy with mine. heaps more life than my old htc one xl (4g capable one x in australia) was trying to decide if i should install the gsam battery monitor as i have read that battery monitors can actually cause drain on the battery but decided to anyway as i couldnt get an answer. so far i am glad i did as you can see so much more information with it compared to the stock monitor, plus it seems to be very popular on this very forum.

[One (M8) General] noobbs2:
It's been about 10 days now. One thing I noticed is that it doesn't shut off randomly when my battery is getting low around less than 15%. My old battery would just shut off randomly, but I could power it back on no problem.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Can be software related. If I flash gpe based kernel(i.e. elementalX 6.0.2/6.0.3) my phone will drop from 7% to 1% instantly. This is not that severe as your case, but similar. On sense based kernel, i.e. right now the stock one - no such thing.

As for the new battery... a lot of not original sold as original nowdays.
[One (M8) General] noobbs2:
I've always run stock on my M8, so I don't have any experience otherwise. I definitely noticed that the issue of battery dropping was a lot less since marshmallow. But I didn't have marshmallow installed long enough for testing.

As for the authenticity of the battery, I understand. I really don't know how to tell if it's real OEM or not since the sticker label matches up and you can't buy direct from HTC. Or can you? I never called them about that.
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
I think you actually can.. otherwise no way to tell. You can even get decent not original one... it's hit or miss. That's why I would never suggest to replace the battery if the situation is not desperate. Even if you will get 5h sot with the old and 7:30h with the new one I would not advice it as you risk worse battery + the risk of someone opening a phone that is not made to be opened and thus can have marks/defects after someone do so. People complained even from htc phones repaired from htc themself. :/
[One (M8) General] anilsenkurt:
If i charge it with my tablet's charger (2000mAh) for a week or two, battery starts to drain in a half day. But If i charge it with its own charger It goes for a day with some social media and music playing. Still the stock battery and 2 years old.

And here is somethng to make things weird: If I charge it with another geniune 1000mAh adapter for a week, I can almost use it for two days. (I am an electronical engineer and cant explain this to myself)
[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
DId you return it in the end? I read a lot of complains about the phone performance... app loading is slow, multitasking slow, camera mediocre at auto, speaker sound low volume, throttling in games, heating, mediocre battery life.

How is the galaxy s7e in general and specifically the sound from the speaker? I kinda now think to get it isntead of htc 10, but I read everywhere that the s7e speaker is super low quality and I use a lot of media with speaker sound(like eating + watching youtube video from the phone or stream, even listening to music as the M8 is great even for that).

When your phone shut off, plug the charger, wait for couple minutes and press power+volume up+volume down and keep pressing about two minutes. And reboot. This should reset battery log.

[One (M8) General] high_voltage:
Most likely it's not broken. More detailed instruction:

This is directly from HTC tech support. To recalibrate battery and HTC charger when battery rapidly or erratically discharges, this procedure clears all battery stats, coordinates and normalizes charging.

Turn off Fast Boot in settings. Power off phone.

Plug phone into HTC charger and charge for two minutes or more

While charging, hold down volume up+volume down+power button and continue holding

Phone will turn on and off repeatedly every 15 seconds or so while continuing to hold all three buttons

Keep this going for 2 minutes, then release buttons when phone is ON

Now, let phone charge fully normally (with phone either on or off--doesn't matter) and battery level reporting, charging and battery life should be normalized.

Hope that helps! Cheers!
