I attached today's pics. I have not rooted my phone.

The reason it's stays awake is due to the music player being on, Google Music, Not sure if this is considered good. I only run music that is downloaded off the app.

Today is my 4th time charging the phone.
[One (M8) General] Jr6278:
I'm happy with the battery life. This is my second m8. Only my third day with phone everything is stock

Gotta use your phone in order to use energy lol
[One (M8) General] Cikop:
Phones use energy even when you dont actively use the them :)

And for some of us its more important how long does the phone last when you is it in standby awaiting calls/sms/mails/wifi rather than playing games or watching video.
[One (M8) General] exSD:
Yeah let's not take what I said too literally.

You aren't using much energy when your phone is not being used.

My battery can last 4 days if I don't use it but I text so often and get so many emails that I use my phone. Letting it sit there for 2 texts a day is a waste of your dollars.
[One (M8) General] koolfoolx:
I'm not sure where I am with my battery life. I see some people with amaZing battery but I feel like mine is mediocre. Using viper Rom on Verizon with greenify and checkm8 kernel oc 2.5. Any suggestions? :/
[One (M8) General] g4rvd4:
How are you getting this kind of battery life? I just got my phone two days ago and am not very pleased with the battery life so far.

To be fair I installed all my previous apps and I think there are a couple of apps that are keeping the phone awake and eating through battery. I've just installed gsam, I'll monitor it for a day and post back here for help.
[One (M8) General] -juanito-:
There is no need to OC, try InsetCoin rom
[One (M8) General] Jr6278:
I disabled all the Verizon bloat. Today battery life was pretty good I wasn't on wifi as long but some apps are acting up
[One (M8) General] Shudder123:
for some reason Im starting to believe stock ROMs are offering better batt life. I'm on Viper right now and love it however it's not getting as good battery life as when I was on stock
[One (M8) General] PunishedSnake:
How did you get 9hr sot
[One (M8) General] :
So far so good.

I've been getting over 1 day and 16 hours for 1 full charge

though thats me using extreme power saver mode at 15%

before hitting 15% i would do some casual gaming (20-40 mins), GPS, auto brightness, email sych, and occasional app updates. :good:
[One (M8) General] g4rvd4:
I'm on complete stock ROM. Unrooted even.

Only thing I've done is install apps.

I'm not able to last through the day, but my usage is very HEAVY.
[One (M8) General] Jr6278:
I was on wifi most of the day. I got the replacement on Thursday the first phone I had for a month but the most I got on that one was 7 hrs on nothing but wifi. If I was on 4G it went only 5 hrs. I don't think the battery was as good as the new one. I did fully charge the new one full out of the box before activating it and the old one I got at the Verizon store so I couldn't charge before using. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but there was a note from Verizon that said to charge it full before turning it on. Does anyone here know if that really affects it?
[One (M8) General] exSD:
Ok good info but not enough.

What is "HEAVY"

WiFi or 3g or 4g

Strength of both data and cellular coverage (this factor makes up about 80% of your battery life)

Screen brightness
[One (M8) General] chronic1974:
All stock.
[One (M8) General] koolfoolx:
is there a kernel you would recommend? or just run insert coin as it is?
[One (M8) General] -juanito-:
I use faux kernel, you can use also stock stock or elementalx
[One (M8) General] koolfoolx:
i installed faux kernel last night, and i also got the app, but when i start the app each time, it says max cpu is only 1.19 ghz. and i manually have to put it up to 2.3 ghz. idk why the settings don't stick.
[One (M8) General] -juanito-:
Use the recommended settings

I don't know about everyone else but my seven hours are used mainly at work. On the road all day. Best thing about this phone is I charge once in the morning and again at night.
[One (M8) General] chobie:
Slept at past 6 pm tonight at full charge and woke up past 1 am at around 68 percent?!?

Notice the phone has been continuously awake before midnight.

Checked the usage and I can't find any suspicious app.

Non-rooted phone.

:(
[One (M8) General] vision89:
do you have wakelock detector?
[One (M8) General] racingmatt1:
Why is my held awake time so high? I used to get 4-5.5 SOT now I'm lucky to get 3. I am also unrooted.
[One (M8) General] G1_enthusiast:
thats why I take these thread with a grain of salt...some people just use their phone to bench battery times lol its hilarious to me.

your usage is different than everyone else usage, dont compare times. i.e one person might want to sync facebook every 1 hour another person might want to sync ever 5 hours.
[One (M8) General] chobie:
Nope. As I have mentioned, my phone is not rooted.
[One (M8) General] racingmatt1:
My phone literally had 0% held awake time and now it is awake more than ever
[One (M8) General] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Likely installed a crappy app, or one of your apps that was fine got updated and is now crappy.
[One (M8) General] mushages:
Power saver, mix between autobrightness and lowest (mostly lowest). Elemental -45mv , Viper 1.6 Rom, mixed WiFi and 3G.. everything else is normal no greenify.

Usage is whatsapp,bbm,snapchat,instagram,Twitter, tapatalk and maybe 20-30mins of gaming.
[One (M8) General] racingmatt1:
How do I find the app because I'm not rooted
[One (M8) General] DeathmonkeyGTX:
All you can do without root is go back in app install and update chronological order, uninstalling one by one until your battery gets back to normal. Then add back one at a time, checking between each one til you find the offending app. Or you could just root and download better battery stats.
[One (M8) General] pj1980:
i play games and watch a lot of streaming video with my phone and the battery life is alright, not bad but not great. i wish htc would release a "droid maxx" version of this phone, i would have paid $50 or so more for a 3000mah+ battery model that's slightly thicker/heavier.
[One (M8) General] racingmatt1:
Would disabling the apps be the same as a uninstall?

Edit: when I go to the app sucker it says Google play services used 25 minutes in cpu time.
[One (M8) General] Shudder123:
My latest using arhd 7.0.
[One (M8) General] downwiththebanksters:
I'm sorry, I'll freely admit not reading all of the thousand posts but the first few, and last few. I used extreme power save mode last night, and it was losing one percent per hour over eight hours. Is that normal? I slept, it slept. No radios were enabled. It seems that would be fairly high drain as I thought this mode would kill all processes save the four core "PDA" apps it allows to run?
[One (M8) General] dsmpampis:
I had almost the same issue. 0,5% per hour. The solution is a custom kernel. Maybe 1% per 8 hours....

I'm unrooted and wakelock detector says my phone is awake 40% of the time with "pm8921_eoc" being the number 1 culprit @ 3 hours 10 minutes. How can I fix this?
[One (M8) General] Spondronis:
I'm running the liquid smooth ROM for my VZW m8. I have the governor set to ondemand (best balance of performance/battery life). After a solid day of having the phone awake, checking emails, downloading apps, reading webpages I'll have ~40% remaining before going to bed. With heavy/constant usage, my phone drains at the rate of 5% per hour - not bad at all!
[One (M8) General] kzflame:
anyone can help me identify what causing this wakelock? Keep waking up my phone making the battery draining.. Same goes for qpnp_soc_wake.:confused: help
[One (M8) General] Kindatired:
I used to get this wakelock on my n4 on some roms. Was told it was related to charging, this wakelock comes to life when you are charing your phone, but it should stop once you unplug your phone from the charger.

I never found a pattern to it, a reboot will kill the wake lock, but it will come back the next time you charge your phone. Are you charging your phone through a USB port or a wall charger?
[One (M8) General] racingmatt1:
oem wall charger
[One (M8) General] chobie:
This is bad right? Overnight, airplane mode lost nearly 20 percent in 6 hours??

On stock.
[One (M8) General] Kindatired:
Personally I would root your phone and try a custom Rom. Like I said, I got that problem when using certain custom roms on my nexus 4. It's weird that you would see that problem using a stock setup.

The only other advice I could give is if you don't want to root try doing a factory reset and see if that fixes the problem. Shouldn't happen with a stock Rom though.
[One (M8) General] leongwengheng:
I'm using Skydragon's GPE rom and the battery life seems great so far. I've only been using it a few days, but am impressed! Much better than my old Nexus 5.
[One (M8) General] encikbasir:
I want to ask you, how long your M8 take time to full charge the battery ?
[One (M8) General] BadAzDB:
May not be the best, but with REAL use, I think it's pretty impressive especially considering the fact that I don't think I've ever gotten numbers this good. I'm on basic Insertcoin with just powersaver mode, no other battery apps. Also this was from the 2nd full charge so I'm expecting better to come.
[One (M8) General] jdmasfck:
Mine's pretty good, lasts me 3 days with minimal use.
[One (M8) General] Suprash:
Hi,

This is not my type to beg for such help but this is the first time I'm having real battery issues.

I made a clean fresh install of Insert Coin latest rom and didn't made any real changes. I chose to undervolt to -25 when installed ElementalX kernel, kept the default for the other settings.

I only use some applications which are : 9Gag, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat.

I also use 50% screen light.

My problem is I never (!) reach(ed) more than two hours of on screen time. I don't believe my phone is really faulty, as it never gets really hot nor anything suspicious.

Do you guys have any idea of what I can do ? I think I'm going to try GPE rom for the incoming days, but I'm not really hopeful. I also tried with Wakelock detector, but meh, it also happens after a fresh install. :mad:

(By fresh install I mean full wipe then rom flash, nothing more nothing less).

Any help would be appreciated. :cool:
[One (M8) General] -sandro-:
you need to check your wakelocks to see what's keeping your phone awake...istall betterbatterystats

Edit: missed you already tried with another app, are you sure you didn't have any major wakelock?

HTC M8 flashed with google play edition.

I get more than 30 hours battery life with this usage:

hangouts, whatsapp, facebook messenger, chrome, maps, dropbox, google drive, poweramp through the day, all google services (and photos auto backup), no video, no gaming, wifi is always on, 2 to 4 hours screen time.

I removed the facebook app.

I used to get 10 to 15 hours with the same usage before flashing to GPE and using BetterBatteryStats.

Now I like my M8!
[One (M8) General] Jaxellis:
I get around 2 days without charging my phone ..... I lose around 40% or less per 24hrs ... I text a bunch and use snapchat so a lot of camera usage as well... Not sure how people cant last one day xD Even when I play games it doesnt get below 60% after one day... I'm in snapchat and facebook beta so constant updates from facebook. So I probably update apps around 3-4 times a day... Auto sync on only when I'm on wifi and wifi on whenever im home otherwise off.. Checking emails and browsing the web daily.. I'd say moderate usage out of this

[One (M8) General] NJGSII:
Purely anecdotal, but during use on LTE I felt that it definitely used less juice than my Nexus 5 did with a similar amount of use. Today's gonna be the test.

Here's mine... First charge still going, 41% at the moment! No powersaver mode, on wifi mostly but did have a 5/6 hour period in between on 3g. Still haven't got all my apps setup so that's why app usage is kind of low but I have been using all my main apps. Facebook, Twitter, instagram, YouTube, XDA, browser, messages, calls, bbm, snapchat, camera etc.

[One (M8) General] aysiana:
Here are my stats after my 3rd full charge. It only lasted this long cuz I feel like hardly used it at all compared to normal. I'm not impressed at all with the battery life of this phone compared to my old One or my One Max. Not really any noticeable difference in my opinion. And the claim that when the battery gets down to 5% it is supposed to shutdown almost everything and go into extreme power saving mode which would supposedly give up to 15 more hours of life....complete BS unless I have to manually turn some special feature on?
[One (M8) General] Shan89:
You should take care of that wakelocks you got there, look at *held awake* = over 6hrs of wakelocks lol.

anyway extreme power saver should be enabled automaticaly if you've enabled it in *power settings* you can also chose when to get enabled 5/10/20% as for 15hrs it's for standby :P
[One (M8) General] aysiana:
Hmm. I don't know how to fix the wakelocks problem and shut them off ?
[One (M8) General] jlevy73:
Still even with those wake locks, that battery life is pretty darn good. Better than what I get with my m7/n5/z1

---------- Post added at 04:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 AM ----------

If you're rooted install better battery stats then check your partial wake locks to see what's keeping your device awake. Probably some rogue app.
[One (M8) General] aysiana:
Unfortunately, I'm not rooted yet. I want root but not until there is an easy method that will give me S-Off and I won't have to do the HTC unlock for.

I believe you still need to be rooted and unlocked for s-off. But I understand if you're not willing to root until s-off is obtained.

[One (M8) General] ashmont:
I am really pleased with the battery life. I have just come from two years on the Samsung Galaxy S3. Mostly it would make it through the day on one charge but if I did anything taxing like take lots of photos or navigate using maps, I would be out of charge by early evening. The M8 on the other hand seems to drain at about 2% an hour on moderate use. I regularly arrive home from work with over 70%! If you accept that smart phones generally require daily charging then the M8 passes with flying colours.
[One (M8) General] robgo:
My battery life is quite good. I use a USB DAC and listen to about 2 1/2 hours of music on my commute to and from work, all the while browsing reddit, the internet and blinkfeed. For anyone who doesn't know, the USB DAC (I use an HRT Microstreamer) takes power from the battery. It's takes a little less power than having GPS on full steam but it still takes quite a bit. My work day is 8 hours long. So my full days usage of the phone is about 10-11 hours. At the end of the day I'm at about 40% battery left. I use elementalx kernel and run ART runtime. I'd probably be about 20% or less with the stock kernel and and runtime.

There is one bug however and I haven't been able to figure it out. Every couple of days or so get a bug where Android O/S consumes loads of battery quickly. Rebooting the phone corrects the issue. I've installed a wakelock monitor to see what could cause it but haven't found anything yet.
[One (M8) General] jhonsok:
Today is my 4th day with this phone and my battery life has been the best so far. At first I didn't quite notice the difference from my M7 but I definitely do now! I guess it just needed to settle in.

[One (M8) General] robgo:
Before my M8 I had a 3g Moto G and would use my USB dac with it and do very minimal internet surfing and I'd be down to 20% at the end of the day. I do much more with my HTC M8 and I'm at 40% after a full day (2 1/2 hours of listening to music with a USB DAC, browse net and reddit 2-3 hours, do a bit of gaming with Castle Crush, make a call here and there etc) Still have loads of time after 10 hours out. Haven't done a run to see how many days it will last if I hardly use it but I am using my M8 pretty extensively every day. I use 4g LTE as well 40-50 mbit dls) and I know that affects battery life. My Nokia Lumia 920 would be weeping for power after only 5 hours of normal use. I'd regularly have to plug it in and charge it at work when I barely even used it.
[One (M8) General] NJGSII:
Used to always get 5-6 hours screen on time with sync full enable and location on and everything. Last few days my phone has been getting hit hard by the Checkin Service wakelock. It literally keeps the phone awake 100% of the time. The only way I've gotten it to go away was with a reboot or turning off all location settings entirely. I might have to move back to dalvik to this, but which process should I disable in wakelock terminator?

I think the battery on this phone is excellent.
[One (M8) General] dannejanne:
I have not done anything special with my phone to get this good battery life. Basically all I have disabled is location services.
