- canceling the battery optimization for all apps may turn out to be time consuming :)

- all pre-installed bloat should be uninstalled or disabled if no option to uninstall it

- before uninstalling any app: go into that particular app settings > STORAGE and clear its data

- examine carefully inside the Acc and Sync, and cancel that automatic synchronization for those google offered services which auto sync you maybe don't need

- check also the other apps auto syncing enabled options

- Wi-Fi scanning must be disabled

- Wi-Fi network notification must be disabled

- Wi-Fi optimization must be disabled

- battery saver on HTC always must be disabled for a better battery life sake

- Play Store app updates notification must be OFF

- Play Store - apps automatic update must be disabled

- disable NFC - if not in frequent use

- if you do not frequently travel a large distance: edit the hTc weather clock widget and have the city (your location name) hard-coded instead of 'my_current_location'

- if you do not frequently travel a large distance: clear check-box 'detect and update my location' in hTc Weather App Settings

- check what apps are permitted to request the location information, and revoke those what are not essential

- disable that google location history

- avoid rubbish apps what are battery hogs while rubbing in background - Viber, Skype, Whatsapp, AliExpress, VK, FB, Chrome, GSam Battery Pro, etc.. I personally substituted them with the Android operating system built-in parts what are doing the same function at no battery consumption cost moreover in most cases doing their job better than those third party ****ty apps.. I stick with Google Voice and Hangouts and HTC Internet :)

- please understand that if in the beginning of the night some message arrived, and then its notification light was blinking all night long - in the morning no need to be surprised with couple battery charge %,% missing :)

- occasionally make couple consequtive full charge/discharge cycles for the battery

Currently an HTC One A9 user trying to decide between the HTC 10 and the OnePlus 3. I'm a heavy social networking user, does anyone use snapchat heavily, cuz it's responsible for a lot of my battery drain on my A9 (sometimes more than the screen). If so, how much SOT do you get with your heavy snapchat, facebook, fb messenger, and instagram usage. I'm a heavy social network user.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] zhiarw:
I might buy this phone but I am worried about what you guys say about the screen types sharp or tinama or what ever it is,

so which one is better ?

what model ?
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] rebelde80:
I'm using Greenify and Amplify and have been getting excellent screen on time.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] pbigband:
Why are you suggesting things like to Disable WiFi Optimization, to Never use HTC power saving mode, and to Disable battery optimization for all apps. Are these the ones helping us saving battery?:confused:
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] devsk:
Recent 3 day run off charger, low to medium usage, 6hr SOT.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] rebelde80:
I get between 8 and 9 hours of SoT. Tmobile, rooted, Viper ROM. Also, Greenify, Power Nap and Amplify.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] stefan1234566789:
Do you play games or just use it for social app ?
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] ryanjsoo:
No idea how people are getting close to 5Hrs, I struggle to get over 3 light/medium usage. I have the Tianma panel and use auto brightness/lux indoor, mainly using Chrome, Youtube, Poweramp and Gmail. Gsam reports ~75% of battery usage is from the screen which sucks, could the sRGB setting offer more batterylife? I daily the vivid setting.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] rebelde80:
No games. I use it mostly for e-mails, Reddit, text messages, social media. If I played games, I'm sure I'd get much less SOT than that.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] mwake4goten:
Well unfortunately I think 4g/LTE quality effects the longevity of battery life. I judt removed my sim card from my HTC M8 and started using my 10. Well before i removed the sim card the HTC M8 would struggle to make it through 1 day now without a sim card it is lasting for 6 days with wifi on.

So I think all these reports of different battery life is connected to quality of LTE. I don't think there is much we can do. I'm on Bell and is supposed to be one of the best for LTE but I still put the setting back down to WCDMA to get even battery life. Im getting about 4 hours sot.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] shortyboy:
Battery life have been ok here. Just wondering why wifi is on even when it's off in battery usage details.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] CharliesTheMan:
There's a setting in Android that came about I think in KitKat, that says something to the effect of "keep wifi scanning for location even when wifi is off" which google uses to track your location with and build location history, triangulate with GPS and cell tower pings, etc.

Have you disabled this already?

My experiences so far are mixed, one day the battery runs out with only 2:30 h SOT, other day I archived 5:40 h SOT! And I do not know why :(
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] free_ionik:
Hi! I can almost never do more than 3h of sot (this is an exception because I played). 100-93% overnight, and I have this sharp drops in stats. This is not normal...
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] stefan1234566789:
Maybe you have some wild wakelocks from google service , or from other system applications and battery stats interpret that as a 'system drain' . Install better battery stats/GSM battery monitor and make some research . I had that problem in the past

I can squeeze at least 4 hours from my phone(3,5 hours with intense usage). Normally I have 5-6 of screen on time, but it depends on personal usage
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] free_ionik:
Do you think I should root my device in order to try figure out what is going on? Or maybe I should wait for 7.0 and see how it's doing ?
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] pomponazzo:
Salut compatriote.

No root here, completely stock, I usually get about 6 hours of SOT. Try a factory reset and install your apps one by one, until you find the culprit.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] stefan1234566789:
Try a factory reset, update to the latest gaps . Personally a rooted my phone because I can have access to all the truly battery saving options . There are a lot of threads for this on xda . Let's not complicate this thread(who is about sot and not battery life tips) no more
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] ichanitogwapito:
Coming from g3. I have this phome for a week now. At first, i only get 3hrs max. Because you know. Installing apps resyncing some files. So 3 days into it. I rooted it. Factory reset. And now. I got this sot. Im impressed. 4hrs into it but still in 40+ percent? Its good for me. I game with it for like an hour. Media consumption. Watch a movie and an episode of stranger things. When i go to sleep i turned on airplane mode because signal here sucks. But it only consume 1%. So far im liking it. :)
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] PhiLee1998:
Rooted it? Which rom are you using for this stellar battery life?
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] donkeykong1:
Broke 7 hours SOT barrier! Still bone stock, 1.95.401.4 software! Great job HTC! I'm really impressed with this phone
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] comstockload:
umm, you're not showing us the bottom of your GSam screen. You left that out. I'm guessing you will see 3hrs 45mins max down there. That is your continous SOT. Not 7hrs. :cool:
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] donkeykong1:
Can you see it now? I'm more than satisfied with battery life on stock. When I figure out why my laptop restarts when I use fastboot, it's gonna get even better [emoji4]
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] comstockload:
Damn ! I stand corrected. That's EXCELLENT!

[HTC 10 Real Life Review] EnGiDrOiD:
4 hrs sot
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Blaalad12:
I was quiet positive about battery life after seeing some reviews but when the phone arrived and i used it with everything set as default i quickly realised that it was totally necessary to tweak various functions in order to squeeze more juice out of the battery and thats fine with me. I generally do this with all my devices. I know some ppl argue that its pointless buying a smartphone and then disabling all its features but for my personal use it doesn't affect my use negatively! Anyways , after making some changes (bluetooth off, sync off, location services set to 'battery saving' , vibrations off etc) I managed a screen on time of 5h 20mins (thats with wifi always on)

Today while messing about with auto brightness i was indoors all day and figured i would turn the brightness down as low as it would go. I felt it takes away from the display but decided i would stick with it to see the impact brightness has on battery life and iam now currently on 5h40mins screen on time with 40% battery left :) I also ventured outside when the phone was on 50% and the brightness has been turned back up since but none the less i will easily get 7h - 8h screen on time and even a tad more if i kept the brightness down low!!

Moral of the story is that anyone getting good screen on time must at the very least have brightness set low because its pretty damn hard to get decent battery life if the brightness is high or anywhere hear high
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] donkeykong1:
Finally s-offed and rooted

Average stats visible on this one
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] mariorenz:
About 4 hours, since when I'm monitoring with GSam battery (4-5 months, more or less). It seems less than other people.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] keaheng:
impressive with battery life. 1% awake the best i've seen in any android phone.. Look like HTC has a magic to apply over android N.

3hour screen on time and still 50% battery left. I can't imagine if I don't use facebook. the maximum i can get from 100% to 1% with the same setup on my Nexus 6p was 4hours :D
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Dr. lele:
I have a lot of problems with battery life. Drain over night ist horrible (around 1% per hr) and I can never get more than 2.5 hrs of SoT over a full day. I expected better standby drain from Marshmallow.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] MRm0g0:
You are not the only one. I'm getting around 3h SOT which is not better than my 2 year old Sony Z2.

I was expecting much more. I see here that people are bragging with they 5+ SOT but they are twicking everything to squeeze the most from the battery but as an average user I can confirm that the battery is not that great. I'm waiting to see the N update, maybe a miracle is being done
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] veroby:
I had to share this with use guys. As ive been really dithering over to buy into the htc10 . The main reason is my camera on the htc one m8 has crapt itself. Looking at your screen on times i cannot justify any penny's when compared to my m8. My previous best was 10hrs 30 but just yesterday i blasted that out of the water with over 11hrs. I forgot to take a screen shot before plugging in but you can still see at the bottom my new record. WTF is happening with the newer bigger battery phones. I cannot justify buying a flagship if they still cannot out perform yesteryears tech.

Im unable to view the image i have upload. If this is the same for all please could someone advise on why. Thx
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Reuben_skelz92:
It's because there smaller thinner ...More powerful with higher res screen. As long as it gets you through the day without struggling I don't see the problem
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] alijaved154:
4 hours 30-50 mins is the average sot of my and most peooles htc 10. The second post which is showing 7+ screen on time is amazing. I dont kniw hiw but may be a battery case is being used or power bank or aome thing. Damn man so much screen on time

Today's "drain", after I made a data clear on the Google services, is no longer present. I read it on an s7 edge forum that someone had suggested it for having Android system keeping the device awake. It's the first day, since I had the device, that didn't had the device recharged during the day

[HTC 10 Real Life Review] mwake4goten:
Glad I found this thread! I'm on stock/unrooted carrier phone with MM....Like some others here I had unremarkable battery life in the beginning. However, with some tweaking, I get about 6 hours SOT

Here's what I had to do:

Disable location services

Hand pick account and sync services

GPS on battery saver

Replaced FB with wrapper.

Disabled BlinkFeed

Disabled listening for "ok Google"

Disabled notifications for non essential apps

Stopped using Chrome and moved to basic browser NBPro and switched off JavaScript enabling it per site as needed.

Lastly the Biggest battery gain I got was the less talked about "wifi sleep when screen is off" option. Using this option I have lost the ability to be 'instantly' notified of my internet life but I gained crazy impressive standby time as a result. Gsam sometimes reports that battery drain is at 0.2% p/hour because of this setting. The best I had before that was about 1% p/hour. This setting is obviously not for everyone but if you have smartphone addiction like me then it is a great option to consider.

What I have done to my phone seems like a lot of settings to change and I really think that HTC need to address this. My wife has the Samsung Note 5 and she had made no adjustments and her phone lasts just as long as mine even with heavy usage. I thought Samsung was known for bloat and the Note 5 has same size battery, lower chipset, and more hardware gimmicks so it dosent make sense how my HTC 10 is such a battery drain?

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 AM ----------

Just a query view are you using the the phone. Are you a light, medium or heavy usage. My phone is stock too but I know for me that with medium to heavy usage (games, videos etc) I get no more than 4 1/2 hours SOT. But if I use it lightly (eg. Tapatalk, browsing with JavaScript off) then it's capable of 6 hours +.... So that's why I am curious how you use your device to get 7 hours. Thanks.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] pomponazzo:
I never disabled or did any of the stuff you mention, my 10 is completely stock, and with medium to heavy usage I rarely get less than 6 hours of SOT. Nougat OTA didn't change my battery life, it's still great :D
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] donkeykong1:
I would say I'm a medium user. I don't play games on my phone EVER. Web browsing social networks, Youtube, music.... This was on wi-fi most of the time, and I watched a movie on Kodi. It's a great result how ever you take it. Since then, I rooted my phone, flashed a custom ROM and kernel, and now I'm close to 2 days and 5 hours SOT per charge
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] mwake4goten:
This is probably the best I ever got from the phone... Mainly medium usage with some occasional heavy usage, YouTube etc

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

I rarely run the battery down under 20% as I've heard that's can be bad for the battery long term... However if you can see my screenshot most of the time I am hitting around at least 5 hours SOT (usually more) by the time the battery has 20% left. But if I don't make those system adjustments then I get a lot less - 3 hours to 5 hours..

Also a question, can the amount of apps installed make a negative difference, I have about 130 apps installed device, how many do you and others have installed....by the way, I use esfile manager to tell me how many apps I have ?

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

Wow this is amazing!

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

Also what about screen brightness, are others using I have mine set to the lowest. Any higher and in getting, 3 hours instead of 5
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Rijul30:
I mostly use for social networking, browsing, listening to music (not over Bluetooth) and some videos. But I'm only getting 5 hours sot even with airplane mode on. And with 4G on all the time, I get around 3.5 hours. My old M8 used to get the same, so pretty much disappointed from the latest flagship.

PS - Medium brightness, power saver on at 15%, location high accuracy, android 7.0.

Any tips on extending battery life would be much appreciated. :)
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] mwake4goten:
The 10 has a more powerful screen that uses more power I guess over the m8?

As for saving tips, one trick that gave me more battery life was to use the disable wifi when screen if off option. The only con of using this setting is that you won't get 'instant' updates to your apps (but of course SMS snd MMS will work normally). It didn't increase my SOT time but it DID increase my standby time greatly. It's a little like the 'extreme saver' mode but without having to activate it all the time.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Gaurav.Stallion:
Hey guys, I'm considering buying the phone, and would appreciate a general opinion on how the phone handles after a few months of use. I'm coming from a OnePlus One that has a slightly larger battery, so I'm a little skeptically about buying anything that isn't an upgrade in that department. Any feedback is appreciated. :)
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] mwake4goten:
Bought mine in October 2016 and mine is still snappy even with over 130 apps.... Battery wise though I'm not going to lie, it is maybe not the best in class but still way above average. With light to medium usage and brightness set to minimum I'll get 6 hours SOT. If I use it intensely with 50% brightness then I'll get about 2-3 hours SOT.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Rijul30:
Got 7 Hours SOT with Facebook, messenger apps uninstalled. :confused:
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] berat7675:
I bought my phone last year in April, and I am very satisfied. Especially Sense, and HTC Specials like Sound-Quality is amazing. The Camera is also just wonderful, but I think on the market are other phones which have a better camera. So it's not the best. I can use the HTC 10 one day, so every night I am charging my phone. But: I am using it very much. So maybe, based on your usage, it can also hold several days. But overall: Very nice Smartphone!

WiFi-rx Wakelock

I'm getting 3-4 hours screen-on time, with WiFi on 5ghz network. It will drain 6-7% overnight.

I noticed that there is a lot of kernel wake locks specifically by wlan_rx_wake.

And somehow Bluetooth will turn on even though I have it turned off all the time?

Does someone have any advice on that? :)

I flashed latest ICE rom and selected CleanSlate with Balance profile and used daily tasks without any further modification to OS, may suggest you something :)
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] ryanjsoo:
How are you guys even getting 3-4 hrs? I used to get 3:30 hrs max, just web browsing on 4g and wifi, Poweramp, Instagram and YouTube. After Nougat, I'm struggling to even get 2:30. I use a regular 2a charger overnight and try to avoid QC as much as possible, I would consider myself a pretty light user. I keep screen brightness on middle auto, but I'm usually indoors.

I used to get 4-5 hrs screen on on my M8, what is going on? Once I got 7hrs screen on, airplane mode, min brightness, reading black and white manga on the plane, but even that was a huge stretch. How are people getting 5-6hrs in normal usage? As is, I have to recharge my phone 2-3 times a day including the overnight charge. I love the phone, but the battery is unacceptable. I'm running stock Nougat, unrooted.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] notJustSomeGuy:
It looks like something is keeping your phone awake . Your "Awake" bar on the history graph is almost solid. Click on each of those apps and see which one has a huge "Keep awake" time. I bet it is either Chrome or Android OS/System. Before taking any drastic steps, I'd suggest turning your phone off and on again :)

Screen consumption problem

Hello guys,

So my battery only consumes about 500-600 mAh as shown in the settings, and I get only 3 to 3.5 hours SOT... isn't 400 to 500 mAh low for a screen? I see other phones consume around 1000 or more...

I don't even think the sum of all my apps battery consumption reaches 3000 mAh

And I'm not a heavy user, Wifi On, Location off, Screen on lower medium, Sync off, and I only use a couple of apps like Instagram, Telegram and a little Chrome...

any ideas?
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] mbrz97:
here's more detail

I also think Android System and Android OS take too much battery?

Also the sum of battery consumption is only 1650 mAh... I'm so confused
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] rambleon84:
Figured I'd post here before jumping to nougat showing my last few months of average SOT with marshmallow.

What do you guys think is the best rom+kernel to get the longest SoT?
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Bn Waheed:
stock + elementalx
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Spegeli:
I would suggest LineageOS because you can get a better battery duration in standby.

The more power you save in standby, the more power you can use go get a better SoT.

Google Apps and Google Services use a lot of battery and with the Privacy Option in LineageOS it's possible to avoid the ****ing wakelocks from Google and his Services.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Bn Waheed:
I have 0.5%/hr battery drain during idle. I tried LOS but it was laggy not sure why...
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Spegeli:
I tried Stock, Viper & LeeDroid and on every Rom i got 1-4% Battery Drain in Standby (when WiFi is enabled). And i done a lot of Tests...

In the Standby Drain Thread (https://xdaforums.com/htc-10/review/standby-drain-t3361291) there a lots of Reports of "heavy" battery drains in standby (mostly coming from google services).

But it seems there are different experience. So the best Solution for everyone self is to test different Roms and do some self Tests with Wakelock Detector and Gsam Battery Monitor to found out with which Rom you get the best Battery usage.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Bn Waheed:
there is an option to disable all wakelocks on EXKM. i am using it. i was getting 2-3%/hr drain on idle before too.
[HTC 10 Real Life Review] Dr.Jamil:
I have a question please

do wake locks or google play services behave differently between wifi and 4G?

during night time when my phone is idle(sleep) my drain on wifi is about 2-4% an hour and 0.5% an hour on 4G.

my phone is all stock
