A lot of airplane mode because I'm underground a lot and don't need to have my phone radio "searching for signal" , draining my battery when I know it won't be finding a signal.

I also have been experimenting with "battery saving" location services mode and the battery drain isn't bad, except for when social networking apps, like snapchat, start using it, then the drain is pretty significant, but if you're a person that like location services for the Google Now cards and additional features that require location, you should be fine with "battery saving".

Just be careful with aggressive apps like snapchat and facebook.

Hi. This is a screenshot of gsam I took on my A9. Worried about the amount of % the screen is using? I have my brightness set to auto I don't see why it's eating the battery so much. It has drained a lot in the last hour or two. Can anyone shed some light on this?
[HTC One A9] Haz04:
Does anyone think my SOT here seems above average? Have I missed something? No effort went into achieving this so I feel like it's too good to be true..

Uninstall or dont use facebook (the app, that is). Rather install metal or tinfoil for facebook for your FB needs.

Also greenify is great, but works best with root. My 5X was around 50% end of the day but with metal instead of FB/messenger im nearly 80-85% end of day left. And my M8 with 6.0 without FB have 9 (!!) days standby. With FB this drops to half, or even less. Both Facebook and Instagram runs in background and cause alot of wakes and data usage, and trust me Metal/tinfoil for facebook works just aswell as the stand alone app but without the 200+ mb overhead the app gives, in storage. RAM is even more taxed.

Medium-heavy non-game usage (2hrs sot with 3.5hrs of total usg) way better than nexus 5.

I think you have the "Keep Wi-fi always on to improve location services" on. It's a Google service that scans for Wi-Fi networks all the time to improve location services.

Go to settings > location and then tap the 3 dots in the top right corner. Make sure the switch is off.

It seems to be an android bug because gsam show my wifi off but not the battery stats of marshmallow.

Have you tried restarting the phone? & do you have the unlocked version or a carrier version?

I've got an European unlocked version. I did all things but not a wipe. I've got it since last Monday.
[HTC One A9] techlogik:
I think the battery and usage is miles ahead of the M9/M8. With my usage, it sips the battery. Literally I can go all weekend, not using the phone much but for a few things like texting, phone calls, use Waze for a trip down the road etc..and I don't have to charge the phone.

Shoot, my wife on her iPhone 6 plus, which she is on all the time, the battery doesn't go 4-5hrs if she is luckly, otherwise, she is charging it multiple times a day. That is just the nature of the processor/screens/wifi being used/on all the time. Nothing is going to solve that. She has one of the biggest batteries in a phone now with the 6+. She watches Netflix etc..bye-bye battery!!!

For my type of usage personally, just Exchange Sync and light use during the work day, this thing hardly uses any battery, pretty amazing. And under normal usage, it uses much less.

If I used Waze on my M9 while heading to/from work, plugged into the USB charger in my car, it will still use 3% battery during the 45 minutes trip. The A9 will do that with no charger, and it will charge a percent or two using Waze if I plug in the usb charger, same trip. The M9 would be into melt down mode and burning hot as well during this time, always need to have my vent holder with A/C blowing on the phone to keep it a normal temp. A9 hardly gets warm at all.
[HTC One A9] touchyou:
hello, I tried something today, I did a wipe data on my A9. When it restarted, I did all my stuff config with 4G/LTE and no WIFI.

There was some only some little lines of wifi on in my battery stats.

When I put de the high accuracy mode on localisation, I authorized the Google location service and since then, my wifi is on in the battery stats despite it's off.

I unchecked all the hide searching options in the location menu (Wifi/bluetooth).

I think it's this permission which set the wifi on in the battery stats.

Gsam said that de wifi was off when de battery stats said it was on. I'm going to be nuts ! :)
[HTC One A9] Silver.Shadow:
Go to settings - locations. Click the 3 dot menu on top right corner, select "scanning".

Set the WiFi scanning to off there. That should do it. Otherwise, the WiFi always scans for location. And that keeps it there on the usage stats. This worked for me.
[HTC One A9] touchyou:
I did it but the Wi-Fi stay "on" in the battery stats.

Look at the pics.
[HTC One A9] Silver.Shadow:
I'm not sure what's your status then. The exact steps I mentioned worked for me. Try following those, or else I suggest stop worrying about WiFi. The phone gives an amazing battery life anyway. ?
[HTC One A9] touchyou:
Look at the pic, I did all I must do, I'm not a new Android user.

Look at the gsam pic, WiFi is off, on the battery stats pic, it's on.
[HTC One A9] Silver.Shadow:
Must be a software bug I suppose. This is confusing. You should wait for the next update. :)
[HTC One A9] touchyou:
I'm agree with you ? thanks for your help.

I hope the battery life will be good, I'll test it tomorrow in real conditions.

I tried using Metal and it ended up using more battery than Facebook.

Metals battery usage was almost equivalent to Snapchat's.

After 20 days. Heavy moderate usage, lot of YouTube and facebook videos, lot of web browsing, few minutes of heavy games like modern combat, 1.2 hours on phone call, 45 min whatsapp call, whatsapp chatting whole day, presenting you the result here.

32/3GB Sprint edition, no root, no greenify, no tweaks. Power saver activated automatically after 15%. Great thing is, even when the phone has 2% battery still you can use it

[HTC One A9] Cashreedhar:
Hint - Keep the LTE off and use CDMA only option to boost the battery life. I use LTE only when needed and the battery life has improved significantly by changing it. The main reason was Sprint doesn't have very good coverage on LTE and device struggles to search the signal

Hello,

I've got around 3h SOT, 4h max with my A9.

I've got a Facebook account, a Gmail account, 2 twitter accounts, 2 outlook accounts, one Instagram account, whatsapp and Facebook messenger.

I never shut off data, I'm on LTE all day long and I think it's good.

My S5 4G+ did a little bit more but the A9 battery life isn't catastrophic.
[HTC One A9] theNdroid:
Yes, LTE uses a lot of energy. Use CDMA and Wi-Fi as much as possible.
[HTC One A9] Cashreedhar:
Wi-Fi drain

have you guys noticed the Wi-Fi drain is more than the screen on time? Even when you turn down the Wi-Fi, still wifi in on in battery history. The reason for this battery drain is due to your phone searching for a wifi network whole day, but never end up getting one and hence antenna consumes lot of battery. Here is the fix:

1. In the settings go to Location

2. Open the 3 dot menu on the right top and should see scanning. Click on scanning (most of the time I didn't observe this as I thought the phone is scanning for location).

3. In the scanning window, uncheck the wi-fi scanning and if you don't have a handsfree headset or a default bluetooth speaker, uncheck bluetooth scanning option too.

4. Easy steps, great boost in battery. Definitely we don't need this Wi-Fi scanning for location at the expense of battery drain. It is so dumb that android incorporated this, because searching for wifi never improves location, but if there is a network, I need the password to login to such network.. bummer

Do you have a method to get this SOT?

[HTC One A9] Silver.Shadow:
All my mails and social media are left on to sync too. I have no particular way. It's my normal usage with which I get these times. Only thing I do make sure is to kill all apps if I don't need them running.

Today I tried the Car app (taken from M9) with the A9 for 45mins of driving, BT of course is ON and music app playing, the Car app dim the screen to 10-20% brightness but stays ON, I only lost 8%.

I forgot the Wifi ON.

So it's not worse than other phones specially other HTC phones and even a hair better than G4.

Any people here who jumped from the M7 to the A9? I am playing with the thought of doing this, but currently have concerns battery life or any other disadvantages might come along with the switch. Are there even any things you calssifies as a "disadvantage" or "drawback"?
[HTC One A9] Ivanovic:
The only drawbacks coming from M7 and M8 are the battery life which is not as good as in M8 and the stereo speakers.

I recommend that everyone use the CM13 ROM. Battery life is so much better. Easily get 4.5hrs SOT even with my heavy Snapchat usage now. Some people may even get 6 hrs SOT if they use the Blackout theme.

Use Cm 13 and use a dark theme and your battery just won't die....???
[HTC One A9] vegetaleb:
I am very pleased with the battery of A9, it's as good or even better than M9 and G4, dunno if it's the update or not. Also you should know that none of the 2015 flagships had a good battery but at least this A9 recharge quickly thanks to QC 2.0 and later 3.0

[HTC One A9] Cashreedhar:
That highly depends on the cellular reception at the place where you live or work. I used to get around more than a day till last month and this month I noticed I need to find charger by around 5PM. I have a great reception at home but at my new office the reception is bad which consumes most of the battery, even if I keep the LTE off. Ultimately I learnt, it is not the problem of HTC, it is the problem of cellular (Sprint) and I am going to break contract with them. It is not just HTC, all other phones have the same problem with this network at my workplace.

Hi people,

My PPC, when living, had Windows Mobile 5 like O.S.

So, As i've some problems with the phone I've decided to downgrade the radio version from 1.17 (people say that it is buggy) to 1.08.

So i run the HimaUpgradeUt_noID (I've also HimaUpgradeUt), but i've forgotten to delete the NK.nbf file from the directory.

I put the PPC in bootloader mode (SERIAL on top and ver. 1.06 on bottom) and then to the cradle directly to the motherboard USB connector

The sofware begin to update upgrading even ROM CE file, but when it arrived at 31% himaUpgrade stopped its work, showing that I need to reset (only normal reset and not soft reset) the PPC :( From this time until now my PPC show always and only the bootloader view.

When I try to upgrade again, the himalaya soft don't show what my PPC has like rom or radio version. It shows only the Ce rom and Radio that I'm going to ugrade.

It seems that software isn't able to erase ROM IMAGE

Active sync can't identify the device (some time it is indentified as unknown device).

When i start the software for ugrade the Active sync tray icon disappear.

I'm only able to ugrade radio stack or ExtRom.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, HELP ME.
