The beauty of stock.

Took me 2 years of pain to match and then better stock efficiency during desire and desire s days. Don't have that sort of time to waste anymore :)

[One (M8) General] th3:
Less than 18 hours with +6 hours SOT... you got problems.

Unless your playing games with high brightness all that time (or similar).

I have made 3 vids 218 messages 3 voice mails and 28 pictures in my usage. It's carefree usage, I did whatever I needed without even using the GSAM until now, just thought I'd check it. I keep brightness auto and was out in the sun most of the day, and keep key vibration on. I played YouTube for hours...

Ok so I've been having some consistently bad barely lyfe it's not horrible but it's nut what others have been getting. This is the wakelock that keeps my phone awake and I cannot for the life of me figure out what it's from. I have been keeping my phone on silent recently thinking it was notifications but that's not it and I don't think it's music because I haven't listened to music for that long today. I have done a few clean wipes and it keeps coming back has anyone else seen this? I am on the tmo stock Rom and I just switched to running art yesterday to see if it helps and got rid of xposed all together to see if that was it.

Battery life for me is good! HTC focused on user experience and it shows. With moderate/regular use I get 14- 16 hours from my phone.

Stock sense 4.4.3 now. Tried gpe, aosp and sense custom roms and kernels and only get 4 hours screen on.

I don't have any wake locks I can see, so I can only assume my battery is on the way out or isn't charging to fill capacity.

Standby time is great, screen on not so much. I only use messenger, email, internet etc on Wi-Fi.

[One (M8) General] HtcOneJon:
I got 4 hours screen on time on gpe as well but performance, features and General look of the os is worse on gpe compared to sense so I didn't see a point to keeping gpe.

I've been on stock 2.22 firmware, sense 4.4.3 now for a day and to now I have 23.5 hours time, 3.15 hours screen on, with brightness around 75 percent over the day, with 37 percent battery left, so that's all day battery life and by my basic calculations, if I run it down to 1% now while dropping the brightness down to 25 percent due to it being night time, I should get over 5 hours screen on time so job done ?

Edit : I'm also running ART runtime rather than davlik whether that makes any difference. I'll try davlik tomorrow.
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
Huh performance was terrible for me on Sense. Music lagged when opening apps and loading webpages even with high CPU performance mode.
[One (M8) General] HtcOneJon:
Guess it varies from user to user and what they use etc. Facebook ran smoother on GPE for me, but mostly it just seemed slower (Googles fancy animations i'm looking at you), and it lacks features like weather and a decent launcher.
[One (M8) General] th3:
With the previous HTC break-through phones, it took a while before they were fully understood and before the mod kernels and ROMs could match and exceed stock efficiency.

The culprits were usually:

A service

Audio files

Similar to above (call recording hack)

WiFi/cell network settings

The audio problem was so bad it meant many could not use anything with an audio hack any different from stock.

I'll chime in with my experience. I have the note 3 lte. picked up the g3 but sent the damn thing back within a week. crap battery life and the heat! lovely looking phone tho. although I love the note I'm a bit bored ang got the m8. Its beautiful. I'm in trouble now as I can't go back to crap sounding speakers.

The note gave me excellent battery, when new it was around 8 hours screen time. after a year the battery has degraded and I now get over 5 hours. still ok. never expected to get this from a 2600mah

4 hours of screen time and 50% left? How is this possible? Phone is ridiculously snappy too. Its a keeper

Sry for no screenshots.. Alittle lazy atm.

5% Battery left

used 95% in 1d, 18h

2,2% per hour - 12h,6min active.

Display on time 8 hours 11 minutes. (hat like 5 hours after the 50% mark)

Usage was... alot 9gag surfin in bed :P a few hours, thats why it was so much.

Also, another time.. i am really impressed.. Was watching anime with the Proxer app (app from the page, Proxer.me) via Stream. Used like only 3,5% per episode (Wlan, sync on like always, auto brightness). When i started, battery droped from 74 to 73%, when episode was finished, it was at 70%~.

So... pretty awesome how efficient this is, even while just watching via stream and display on the whole time.

I am on T-Mobile with unlimited data with stock 4.4.2. My battery life is good, but probably could be better. I usually get down to the 14% warning each day. I have Twitter, weather apps, news apps, etc. all refreshing in the background. I am always checking them like every 30 minutes throughout the day. Also, I seem to switch over to 4g out of nowhere in my office, so it is probably always trying to connect back to 4gLTE and wasting battery with that. No complaints, just wish I wouldn't get that warning every day.

for real? I find it amazing, I'm on ARHD 10.x, not achieving such consumption, as much as I get is a 5 1/2 hours of screen, presumably with custom rom consumption should improve, but not passing.

in many review I've seen on the web, yet always stock ranges between 5 and 6 hours of screen time, really do not know how you manage 10 hours! : (

I blame the fact xposed and sense toolbox, I find no other explanation.

Yea I never trust online review battery tests since they're only a guideline with fixed usage - many times totally unoptimized. Mine isn't :)

Mine is MY usage ;)

I don't wanna mod my phone exactly due to this. Currently my battery life is what I like and depend on most.

I used 35minutes of Bluetooth with Torque Pro app there too. 14 widgets realtime updating via my cars Kiwi2BT connection. Maps I used for navigation twice (two job interviews 10mile away). A lot of the phone usage is Tapatalk, XDA, Whatsapp, RealCalc, Email, SMS, Google Now, voice search, Stocks, weather, news, viewing pictures, browsing web.

No fb or tw... Maybe that's a big thing. I play audio but no constant music, also.

[One (M8) General] mushages:
Best way to calculate SOT and usage is to drain the battery to 1% because those percentages aren't accurate. so u can do 3 hours stand by at 100% then drop to 97% in one minute. draining the battery to 1% maybe give you the APPROXIMATE AVERAGE battery life.
[One (M8) General] boe323:
My battery is fooked ...I fell asleep while in bootloader mode, which is a big mistake, my battery drained passed the actual phone off default battery percentage, now ....the phone will loose 4% in the first 24mins in standby and continue to rapid drain, think my battery is damaged. Should never ever let a lithium battery die, when the phone switches off at 0% ...theres is still plenty of energy in that battery to stop it changing into a gas and potentially exploding lol.
[One (M8) General] 09eric09:
Well I don't remember exactly, but it definitely wasn't 3% in a minute.

Here's my current screenshot while I've been reading/posting here and playing with Zoe, Gallery, Whatsapp, Tapatalk, Google Now, SMS and Internet.

So you can understand;

20% total used

Awake, active, WiFi, cell network and screen - all on for 2hr37min

So, 20% used in 2hr37min full on and in use. This is basic usage, not high. I'd class as 35-45% in figures.

x5

That's 100% used in ~13hrs fully active, awake, screen on.

Edit: last I captured app usage screen was at 2hr mark.

This is going to be a tough one to answer as it'll also depend on what you do with your phone, but in all the reviews I've read the HTC One M8 outshines the S5 on battery life and perusing the forums it seems actual figures in the threads of both forums would suggest the M8 has equal or better battery life so should be ok.
[One (M8) General] theandies:
Here are my observations after having my M8 for a week.

This battery rocks. I've got a coupe of 20 hours days on battery but if I averaged the week out I suspect I'm getting between 12 and 14 hours. The phone has only gone into extream powersaver mode once (setup for 5%). That is with WiFi and Mobile Data on. Bluetooth on streaming music to my Bose Soundlink Mini speaker. Setting up and downloading apps to my new phone. I'm running a live wallpaper and I've been switching between auto brightness and full bright. I've taxed the system by playing a lot of Boom Beach and a few other games.

In conclusion the battery life for my M8 is great. The only thing I don't get is I'm not using Blinkfeed and I see that it is still showing up in my usage list. WTF. Can I get rid of Blinkfeed completely if I unlock/root etc or is it cooked into Sense 6.0?
[One (M8) General] OGhoul:
You're correct; it's part of the Sense ROM. It's kind of the point of owning an M7 or M8.

You might want to consider converting to GPE if you've no use for Blinkfeed.
[One (M8) General] exSD:
BlinkFeed is the name for the Sense launcher.

Got it a few days ago. Came with ~%60 battery, haven't used till it's fully charged. Then booted without a simcard, did the accounts and apps stuff over wifi.

That first charge was over in 31h or sth like that but it has some EPS while sleeping.

Went another full cycle, so this is the 3rd one. Still going, I'll post whatever it squeezed till now (7pm)

It lost about 5% during my sleep (5hrs)

The power menu reads the WiFi status incorrect I think, beacuse it happened yesterday too, like 80% of the graph below the wifi was actually off.

BT was always on, connected to car for 3-4 hrs (no Audio just voice)

Half the time the casual power saver was on. screen brightness was at auto. 3G enabled all the time. Have 2 IMAP mails on Aquamail and 1 IMAP mail on HTC Mail. Whatsapp, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Swarm and Foursquare on, but disabled swarm to monitor (or share) my location constantly. All others are auto-sync enabled. Pretty much the setup is like that. Blinkfeed is on, but haven't used it and it is probably not autosyncing. Google Now is also on but I think I'll turn it off since it keeps giving ETA to home everytime a meeting is over and it's bugging me :)

Just curious. How far do your guys/gals let your batter drain before charging? I try to make it to 5% before charging completely. So far I've had my M8 for almost two weeks and it seems I only charge every other day at this point. I'll gather some more data as I'd like to average my battery usage over a few weeks before settling into a charging routine.

I'm very impressed so far as I'm using my M8 much more that I used my last phone an HTC Vivid. I could never get more that 7 to 8 hours out of it.
[One (M8) General] :
If the phone dies... The battery isn't actually completely drained. It's designed to shutdown before that happens. So I wouldn't worry if it drains. ;)
[One (M8) General] theandies:
Not worried just wondering what others do. This is my first phone without a removable battery. Not that I've ever had to buy a new battery for my previous phones I'm just a little nervous about it and don't want to "overcharge" it. Charging causes heat, heat cause failures. I want to minimize the charging time to one complete charge for my usage habits is what I'm after. Maybe I'm being to anal. :confused:

Mine just went to 3% (Power Saver on). I'm going to monitor it till 1% this time then fully charge. I like doing it this way a few times with new devices so I can understand just how long the battery will last with my using habits.

I'll post some data after gathering enough to make it more accurate.
