Over 3 hours of held awake time is excessive. Or did you listen to a couple hours of music?

Other than that, which without root, you can't see app wakelocks.... I'd say it's just your usage and setup. Again, multiple social apps, Google now, location when it's on, games, screen brightness.... All are going to take a toll and add up.

And anyone can repeat my numbers.

See the thread in my signature for battery tips. I've set every phone I've owned up the same way, and always get great battery life.

Luckily Android has many features that can be toggled... So when I need those features, I have them in about 4 seconds. ?

Games? I didn't buy a phone to play games on it. Social apps? What's texting?

I have about 100 apps that don't fall under those 2 categories, that I'm pretty sure don't work on a flip phone. ?

Try a data usage app that covers WiFi from playstore. Or you can try to track it with the stock data usage app in settings, but that would be hard.

An app will likely let you see much more detail, and reset stats anytime k you can see what's up.

You have 5 hours of wakelocks. That's a lot of music listening, or some bad issues. You need root to see them though. Once you're rooted, see post 4 here... And post the recommended screen shots here...especially times waking device and held awake time.

[Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!

Without root it's all guess work though. ?

10 hours SOT is not normal. Lol

Battery Drain

Hi

Battery has been draining really fast lately, tried factory reset, uninistalling apps.

Nothing worked so far, GSam reports that a system service "System (libhola_svc_pie)" is the culprit.

Searched Google and XDA for the service but found nothing.
[One (M8) General] rav101:
I have 3 hours SOT over 24 hours usage, 3 days after a fresh install.

The ROM is still bedding in and I'm still tweaking here or there but feel like I have a really nice balance between battery life whilst not compromising on a laggy performance. I don't game mind so I am able to make those compromises on top end performance.
[One (M8) General] BlueEyedDev:
All stock, gpe 5.01
[One (M8) General] th3:
Sub 6 SOT isn't average but low, except among us geeks who are always using our dozen syncing net apps ;)

6.5-8hr SOT, 8-9hr active, should be basic, on average usage patterns, with 24 hour uptime.

More uptime -> Less SOT

Try to get 200-280mA draw reading while resting with WiFi on, indoors. That's what stock M8 comes as, and that'll give you those times.

If you get that, you know your phone is running fine.

usually lasts less, but it was some time in inactivity.

- No YouTube, Facebook disable, no games, using greenfy and some minutes using data.
[One (M8) General] :
More screens? Depending on your setup and what you were doing while you used the device... That's not great battery life. More screen shots? App screen?

What's your brightness at? Location on? More relevant details? ?
[One (M8) General] :
Automatic brightness, no GPS, no bluetooth, no NFC, no music, no streaming.
[One (M8) General] :
I doubt you have an issue. For your usage and setup, I'd say you're about average.

No wakelocks either... Good!

[One (M8) General] dsymbol:
It looks like you weren't using the phone & apps much, but just reading from 7pm onward, therefore you got a good stat of 6h screen on time. If you were using the phone like before 6pm, you probably got a bit more 5 hours of screen on time, but the phone would last longer.

I highly doubt that m8's battery life is 40% better than m7's, but it's obviously better.

Having said that, i'm ready to jump ship from m7 to m8.

Thanks for sharing the screen on time & graph.

Keep them coming gentlemen !

---------- Post added at 01:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

It's absolutely normal that your OS shows very high % usage, because it's the only 1 running the most.

Once you start opening up & using more apps, Android OS % usage will drop as others will raise.

Lets just say you're not using any app, Android OS usage would be 100% because it's the only 1 running. Make sense?

Second charge cycle. Battery life has seemed to have gotten a little better. I'm pretty impressed to be honest. I could probably squeeze about 6:30hr screen on time by the time it runs out of juice.
