Has anyone's battery life taken a battering since the 5.0.2 update?

My phone updated ota around a month or so ago and the battery life is absolutely shocking now smh.

My partners has gone exactly the same way since hers updated.

Wondering if it's just ours or if its a well known bug with firmware
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
Yes, battery life is much worse than when I was on KitKat. Standby mode and SOT are very bad now, used to have great battery life now it sucks. I guess it's mostly Google fault but I hope HTC can improve it in the 6.0 update.
[One (M8) General] Boylen77:
I hope the same, I've even noticed that after I get the low battery warning and get down to around 12% sometimes it will just turn off if I try and do anything lol.

Does anyone know if custom roms offer better battery life? I may be persuaded to jump over ?
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
I tried a couple, even one that's GPE based but noticed no improvement.

One question for you: you said that you only got the update a month ago but the HTC one m8 was updated to Lollipop on January. Why did you only now receive it?
[One (M8) General] Boylen77:
Ive always been on a version 5 firmware afaik just not sure if 5.0.1 or whatever was before 5.0.2.

As for the update I received a month ago, im not even sure if that was for 5.0.2 if im totally honest as Ive never checked the version I was on (just got it on contract & used it as was)...I just know i got a system update and since then the battery has been terrible lol ( live n my own little world sometimes haha)
[One (M8) General] RyukAkira:
Hello,

My M8 this virgin unchanged. What is now effected, unlock the bootloader, install a recovery progress and then root. Then I perform the procedure you refer to me? For that I need these in S-OFF? because my HTC is in S-ON. I appreciate could explain in more detail your information or some tutorial. I'm new :(
[One (M8) General] Bobbi lim:
If you're on a newer firmware, the only way to S-Off ifs its still possible is simply by paying for it but I don't see much of a benefit of S-Off to S-On as my M8 has been S-On the moment I got it and never find it much of an hassle.

If I'm you, I rather read things up than ask questions. XDA isn't a place for spoon feeding as you'll learn nothing much from that. My suggestion is to stay away from toolkits.

As for battery life taking a bit hit from 5.x compared to 4.x, I'm going to disagree with you guys on that. I've had the same battery life on both 5.x and 4.x. On a heavy usage pattern, 30hr+ standby with 6hr SOT fully data and no WiFi with poor network (1 or 2 bar) is what I get every time. That's on HTC Sense of course ;) Its the same for me on Custom ROM or stock ROM :D

As for why you're getting bad battery life, if you've done your OTA from 4.x to 5.x and you've not done a factory reset than this is going to happen.

Why? Simple. When you've OTA from 4.x to 5.x, whatever bits of junk and residues from 4.x are brought over to your existing 5.x resulting in heavier battery drain. My suggestion is to reset your phone and set it up all over again and give it a few days to settle down and your battery will be back to normal.
[One (M8) General] Izachii:
Got i S-OFF for GPE conversion. That's all.
[One (M8) General] Boylen77:
Thanks for the info, this actually makes a lot of sense ?

I'm guessing it's best to do this every time there is an ota updat?
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
I did 2 factory reset already. Can't get more than 3,5h SOT. I'm also on data all day, auto brightness, gps on saving mode, bluetooth connected to my Moto 360. I truly don't understand.
[One (M8) General] Bobbi lim:
Preferably yes

Can I see some stats? Describe your day to day usage as well as apps installed, wakelocks etc...
[One (M8) General] Boylen77:
Do I download gsam or something like that for that or is it just what's in Settings>Apps>Running?

Just so I can check out my own as I'm getting around the same battery time
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
I have GSam installed, which print Screen would you like? And how to I check wakelocks?

Thanks
[One (M8) General] Bobbi lim:
Gsam isn't the best you could get right now but grab me a screenshot of the main screen of the app.

Use better battery stats. Download from XDA. It's better and more accurate at battery reading along with wakelock detector should show quite a good amount of data. Preferably the screenshots will be of quite a good use when you're getting low on battery around 20% or at the end of the day. Whichever comes first off course.

Please tell me your setup for me to check better :)
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
That app requires root if we want to see the system) wakelocks, I'm I right?
[One (M8) General] Boylen77:
I'll try now, thanks
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
Better battery stats need root for the wakelocks analysis, I think.

Here are some screenshots from GSam
[One (M8) General] Bobbi lim:
Firstly, are you in need of bluetooth all the time?

Secondly, do you listen to music on your phone?

Your keep awake is too high for a M8 out of the box :eek:
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
Bluetooth is always on because of my Moto 360 smartwatch. I almost never listen to music on the phone, why do you ask that? You say that my keep away is too high... How do you see that and what can I do to solve it?

Cheers
[One (M8) General] Bobbi lim:
Keep awake is too high has 2 possibilities. If you listen to music for a long period of time, your keep awake will be high as the phone isn't asleep. But if you don't, it clearly shows that it's caused by wakelock.
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
Thanks but you forgot to answer my last question, the most important of all. How do I solve that issue?

I just don't understand how you can have 6h of SOT with the same setup, do we have different batteries or something?
[One (M8) General] Bobbi lim:
I don't owe you anything. You don't have to be rude. Just because I missed out on your question doesn't give you the right to use that tone on me.

Coming back to your question. First off, you're using multiple social apps - Facebook, G+ (or maybe more) which are known to be notorious battery hoggers.

Secondly, stock HTC browser is slightly more battery saving as compared to Google Chrome.

Thirdly, Play Services are top of the list battery hoggers as well...

Fourthly, reduce background data usage if necessary.

Fifth, use power saver mode (minimal power saving) and turn off auto brightness as it drains more battery than saving it.

Sixth, disable apps in settings > apps for those apps that you don't use
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
It was not my intention to be rude, sorry if it sounded like that. Thanks for the tips.

Cheers

The quick settings menu is not the same as on the One A9.
[One (M8) General] tomlikesandroidsofar:
Good, means, it's customizable. I wouldn't have scratched that for the A9, but then again, I wouldn't have chosen that hardware design for the A9 either. So what do I know.

I just really hope we get this before HTC (probably) goes bust. Can't imagine how the A9 should be able to help them survive until the next big launch - financially (Febuary? M10? Who knows, I haven't heard anything so far).
[One (M8) General] Callliope:
I see that Android system still has high usage like it has on lollipop.... I just hope that final release of 6.0 wont be the same
[One (M8) General] fraehngi:
I hope they will make it until the end of the month. I'm pumped for the update!

[One (M8) General] Imperticus:

[One (M8) General] .xxx.:
I might cut you on that one because they didnt really give eta. Just said that they might try releasing it by the end of the month. But hey, we can be be a little more patient for a couple of days and still be one of the lucky ones to get marshmallow officially on our devices this early.

I will not tolerate for you to call "old" to my beloved M8! [emoji6]
[One (M8) General] fraehngi:
Dude, tbh the M8 is my favorit smartphone I've ever had! I have no idea if I want to switch over to the A9 February next year when my carrier contract allows me to pick a new phone or I just stick to my beloved M8. But in terms of the phone companies our beloved one is kind of old and I was pretty excited when HTC announced such an early update to 6.0 :)

Don't even think about changing over to the A9 from the M8. It'll break your heart, rather wait for the M10 in Jan-Feb 2016.

[One (M8) General] ckpv5:
How do you know that ? Have you already got A9 in hand to fairly compare it with M8 ? Is it fair to compare a Mid-range to a flagship ?

I'm waiting for A9 to arrive in my country to replace my aging M7. Some of A9 features are great.

And M10 (if there is one) is not enough to justify why I should change my M8.

Anyway .. this thread is about M8 ROM updates, not about other devices. Let's stop talking about other devices before moderator come and slash us.

A9 did seem like a good deal until oneplus x was announced!

I wouldn't call the M8 and old device. Mine isn't even one year old. Back in december I bought THE Htc flagship device. M9 wasn't released yet.
[One (M8) General] Human Guinea Pig:
Well this could possibly be the last major update our M8s will get, as the M7 doesn't look like it will be receiving 6.0.

I just hope we get it on time or as close to the date as possible this year. 2 weeks delay when your mates who have Samsung's are running the latest is not cool :p

[One (M8) General] ahmoda:
I don't think they have any difficulty to get the update released soon, as they already implemented the marshmallow with sense7 gp , that means they already have experience and already test it with sense.

I think it's all about hardware test only.
[One (M8) General] Creative_X:
There is gonna be Sense 7_gp (A9 model) and Sense 7 (in other models, M9, M8, M8s...)
[One (M8) General] Petert87:
Why? I like the quick settings on A9.
[One (M8) General] Badelhas:
Me too. I wished they would go with the A9 sense version on all their line-up. That would be the best of both worlds and theoretical faster updates. The closer to stock the better.
[One (M8) General] Callliope:
They are in certification stage , and next stage is push to customers , let's hope it is by the end of this year....

Hey thanks Wally, that's really helpful. Predictably I was trying to find a way to make a backup of new the stock recovery and the new firmware before doing any tinkering so your post was really timely :)

I've done exactly as you've suggested and booted using the TWRP image on the PC instead of overwriting the stock image, I've installed superSU and reverted the changes to my (backed up in several places) platform.xml file to re-enable full microSD card access.

Am happy as Larry - thanks again :)

[One (M8) General] kw1mx5:
one observation of the latest OTA is that a bug with the Do Not Disturb mode seems to have been fixed...

Previously you could switch your phone into Do Not Disturb (DND) and lock or power off the phone. I use pattern lock.

When reactivating the phone to use it, sitting proudly about the pattern lock screen was a 'stupid' pop-up window telling you that you were in Do Not Disturb mode and asking in a rather stilted version of English if you wanted to switch DND mode off, Yes/No.

Given how easy it is for the phone to self activate when in a pocket due to its proximity to living human flesh it was also incredibly easy for the DND mode to be deactivated if said living human flesh happened to move just 'so' whilst the stupid dialogue window was sitting above the lock screen, effectively turning off DND mode and (upon a notification or phone call event) announcing the presence of the phone to the world at large as only the One M8's excellent speakers can do.

This could be problematic in a meeting, and grounds for dismissal in some working environments.

As far as my testing goes, they stopped the stupid pop-up window from appearing and reduced the excessive sensitivity of the phone when the screen is off.

All good.

Its already avaliable

There is a stock ROM and recovery for the Dev edition already.

I converted mine to a DEV and recieved the OTA update have stock recovery and DE Radio

1. Make sure your MID is correct for the DE M8 its the 2000 one same as ATT M8

2. Follow this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2733523 (Make sure your bootloader is unlocked...DE ships unlocked anyways

3. Copy DEV backup to your SD and do a restore in TWRP with this https://mega.co.nz/#!7YZW2YiL!CtzpzK9eBwspNwuOc9QE4ulap9-l5JPJ0mT1TA-kipY (I never let TWRP install root when it asked

4. Dont boot into OS reboot to bootloader flash this recovery with fastboot http://d-h.st/c2p

5. DONT boot into OS, change CID to BS_US002

6. Boot into recovery give it on last wipe and reboot into OS.

7. Accept OTA update, Done you now have a DE M8 with stock rom, unlocked bootloader, correct radio and recovery, and are not rooted Just like if it came strait from HTC (I AM S-Off as you should be also)

Enjoy the phone with ZERO Bloat and OTA updates from the Mother ship HTC

Thanks for the great thread. I am having trouble understanding this, though... Me and a friend of mine both have the international version of this phone. I am on the 1.57.118.2 and he his on 1.54.161.10. He has the extreme energy saving mode but I don't. How is that possible? Shouldn't we have the same version? And if mine is 57,isn't it newer? If so, why does he have that mode and I don't? I am very confused with all this...
