I dont have my m8 rooted yet as I am still within the 14 days period. I can't figure out what is going on here any ideas and suggestions would be great. I also installed greenify but I can't do it to system apps because it's the non donated version. I never used greenify on my GNex because it wasn't necessary after rooting in my opinion. Thanks for any help.
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
I think most of the sync's and auto update stuff is in that "Kernel Android OS)...Did you try turning off all automatic updates and syncing?

That's a lot of "held awake" time you have there.

Edit: Actually those syncing stuff might be in the actual Android OS and not the Kernel part, either way try taking off the auto updates, backups, syncing etc and see what it does.
[One (M8) General] Gargamel1:
Thanks I'll give it a shot. Not the place for it but you guys all seem knowledgeable. Sometimes when going into the play store it says background data is disable and says "enable" as a button. When I click it it brings me to the sync section but everything is normal there. I have to reboot to get back to the play store. Any experience with this?
[One (M8) General] EtherealRemnant:
Decided to run a test to see what LTE/HSPA only would do.

No idea why it is saying WiFi has been on, it's completely off.

Overall usage went way up this time. Lots of browsing, switching apps some gaming. Still impressed.

I gave it a full charge, did the rooting, unlocking, and then got whelp'd by firewater the first day. Gave it a full charge and then put a video on a loop to discharge it completely. I got 9:30 of this screen on, 1080p .mkv looping until it shut down. Does anyone hate the stock HTC battery graphs? Sammy and stock Android are much better. The HTC doesn't provide any screen on time, and the white on white is just not as pleasant as the other two.

My battery life on the M8 is great. With moderate to heavy use throughout the day, the lowest I've gotten before bedtime is about 25%. I leave Power Save mode on all of the time. I don't know what the mode does exactly, but I don't see any drop in performance, no inconveniences like most battery savers I've used in the past. Best battery life of any phone that I've owned by far.

Rom, kernel, apps deleted or hibernated?

Enviado desde mi HTC One_M8 mediante Tapatalk
[One (M8) General] b-george:
All stock not rooted. Nothing deleted or hibernated. Apps that I have used and put on auto sync is Facebook, Twitter, mail, instagram, tapatalk, snapchat, deezer, YouTube, browser and some gaming. Been on both WiFi and carrier all the time. I have managed to get it empty for once, just to test the battery stat. I can get two days with 8h screen time compared to my HOX with 8t and 2-3t on screen.

My first device with build issue was even better was getting around 10h on screen time. I think it's like the screen and other DOA cases, if you are lucky you will get a device with great battery.

Agree with Stock battery life +

So this is the first Phone I have NOT rooted and is all stock. I did change from Dalvik to ART and to be honest since that time I am getting the most amazing battery ...

at least 2 sometimes 3 days and screen on time 8-9 1/2 hours Amazing.

I do use the power save but only CPU saver ticked.

Hope that helps...
[One (M8) General] malek777:
I'm sorry but 8 or 9 hours of screen time is just pure bull****. Even phones with bigger capacities don't even get close to that.

No problems having around 9-10 with G2, depends of what up doing. Reading google books in a dark room probably gives really good with the M8 to. Pointless discussion without having the same base. I'm at about 4-5 on the M8 and one hour more on the G2 with the same kind of use, it's really good.

My battery (running Venom Rom) is abysmal. I came from a note 3 so u was expecting some drop in the battery life but this is HUGE. I run for the charger at least once sometimes twice a day depending on how heavy I use it. Idk if it's the rom or what but I am very disappointed as I LOVE this phone
[One (M8) General] AndroidInsanity:
If you mean viper rom. I did get less battery life with it. It's the best ROM for tweaks, but from my opinion SD dragon ROM is best for battery. But overall there isn't a overall best ROM. there all great.
[One (M8) General] EtherealRemnant:
Another one in for the drain on Viper. For me, InsertCoin has been the best. I'm averaging 7 hours SOT

[One (M8) General] malek777:
Try a factory reset that might help. it's no guarantee. LTE seems to drain the battery very quick on the m8.
[One (M8) General] mw2fan:
I tend to get like 5 hours of SOT time but it varies greatly, sometimes it's 3 sometimes it's 8.

Power saver helps a bit.
[One (M8) General] malek777:
So which rom Do you guys recommend for the best battery?
[One (M8) General] syphen6:
I have been lucky to get 3 hours SOT I was using viper rom and now I tried InsertCoin and I am getting worse battery life. I don't really know what to do to get 5 plus hours of screen on time like so many of you are.
[One (M8) General] renehd2:
Just make a full wipe (factory reset and system reset)

And then install a fresh rom

[One (M8) General] syphen6:
I will try this and let you know if I see a significant change.
[One (M8) General] EtherealRemnant:
Keep in mind that the phone's out of the box battery calibration is generally not accurate.

I ran my phone down til it went off the first time out of the box. It was sitting on 1% for almost an hour before it shut off. I did three cycles like that and now when it gets to 1%, I know I better get it to the charger soon because its going to be alive for 5 minutes, 10 minutes at the absolute most.

Its worth a try, especially considering how quickly the phone charges, to run a full charge/discharge cycle a few times.

If you continue to get poor battery and you're in a decent coverage area, consider the possibility you have a defective battery and consider exchanging it. It shouldn't take much to get way above average battery life with these phones. 5 hours SOT should be the bare minimum unless you are heavily using the Adreno GPU or you are using heavy LTE. Those two are the largest consumers of battery life. Pumping the Adreno can knock you down to zero in just 4 hours which is why I underclocked mine. LTE... well its a bear on any phone, not much can be done about that.
[One (M8) General] haenraets:
Went to a festival this weekend.

Left on thursday in the afternoon and came back today. (sunday)

Didn't charge and the battery was still around %10.

Did use it to read my mails, take some pictures, play music via bluetooth.

Never thought I could make it through the whole festival without charging my One.
[One (M8) General] Xdpker06:
It's possible, it just depends on what you're doing. I have personally done 9 hours of screen time, but that is just watching movies at work with mx player. Browsing the internet? That'll drop it down to 6 hours.
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Yeah I tested that out as well, browsing the internet is a massive hit on battery life. It's ok for me though as I don't generally surf the web on my mobile device anyways, I just did it to test battery in all conditions. At the end of the day I managed 5.5hours battery life over 1day 14hours with apps taking up over 50% of the battery, the biggest contributors to the battery drain was Chrome Browser(As that is what I used for internet surfing) and google+, I spent a longggggg period of time surfing through alot of stuff on google+. The rest were split up, hangouts, youtube, gallery(spent quite a bit of time in the gallery looking through many pics taken, videos taken, pics downloaded etc). That's all "heavy" use in my opinion though as I won't do these things normally.

I'd rather download everything I need from a computer and just transfer it over, do surfing on the computer(It's better anyways, heck I'm sending this reply from the computer at work...lol) watching youtube, I might watch some youtube during the day on the cellphone primarily because I can't watch youtube videos from my work computer so...boredom takes it's toll eventually.

But yeah... I can't see how that poster thinks getting that much screen on time is impossible though, if it was then they probably wouldn't have gotten that amount of SoT in the first place right? Or are we all professionals hired to do photoshop on battery images to sell a device? The good old "you're working for that company" argument? :eek:

[One (M8) General] decksy:
So I had to day off.. So I spent the day draining my battery as i would normally use my phone.

i believe not because when choosing 4G it takes time to switch to 4G but when keeping mobile network active and you lose wireless you can see it turns to 4G immediately.

yesterday tested Viper 1.5.0 with elemental 0.10

kernel settings:

-2.6 OC

-45mv UV

rom settings:

-4G with wireless always on

-autosync on

-lowest brightness

-greenify : facebook,google+,maps and some games

-powersaving on with everything enabled in its settings

usage was about 20% data 80% wireless. mostly whatsapp, BBM, instagram, twitter, tapatalk and snapchat got about 6 hours screen on time in 12hrs well not perfect. my best battery were on STOCK and ARHD both on ART which is 8hrs screen on time on mostly wireless.

another thing i noticed in ART roms which we all know doesnt support mods that phone drains way less when its sleeping!

today im testing same setup but with 3G. i dont expect much. will report later.

tomorrows test is new insert coin with elemental or stock on 4G.
