First charge after all the setup, from 100% to 1%. Auto brightness on around 50 - 65% slider during the day and almost to 0 over night. Indoor usage 99% of the time connected to a 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi.

I'm using the international factory unlocked version on latest 1.53.617.5 firmware. The first thing I noticed is I'm getting better reception at home than I had on the M9, probably that's helping to the battery as well. The poor reception time shown was when I moved to my GF's place.

My usage was location on all the time, now on tap disabled, around 30 minuets of YouTube videos, social media and messaging apps, web browsing with Firefox and unlock origin, a couple test shots with rear camera, a couple minuets of screen recording and Blinkfeed + News Republic. Power saver activated at 15% and kept it until the battery ran out.

Edit: I wasn't sure if I'd have time for the last screenshot before the battery to die, so I put it to charge and took the screenshot after some charge to include the total amount of time the battery was alive

Not bad for me in my second cycle. Usual daily use. Half a day on cellular and the rest is on WiFi. Facebook, messenger, insta, Web browsing, what's up and vibes, xda, yt etc. Autosync off, location battery saver. Probably 6hrs sot possible ;) View attachment 3757034View attachment 3757035
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] th3:
I can't tell without delving in-depth what the device battery efficiency is like, but I'm sure by the looks of things that some 10s are lower power users than others.

The difference is highly likely the different power bins of the display panels, a la M8. It seems the displays have a large variance in power draw. One version I have gives 9-11hr SOT, another 7-9hr and the last gives 4-6hr.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nokiacrazi:
My first full cycle after setting up. I'd say fairly light use, few phone calls, bit of whatsapp, few texts, bit of browsing, bit of YouTube. I'm pretty happy, especially with standby. My mobile signal is only 2 or 3 out of 5 tho. Mostly auto brightness with slider in middle. Mostly Wi-Fi also.

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] devsk:
Has anybody explored the wifi debugging shown in the logcat? I have a feeling that HTC left the verbose debugs on by mistake. Its just not letting the device sleep with "Wifi always on during sleep." The logcat is chock full of wifi related debug messages repeating every 3 seconds. I think disabling this logging will let the phone sleep.

Is it possible to disable logging from a specific service/application?

I have a very good wifi router with good reception everywhere with no wifi issues on this device. But battery life is not that great. I get around 3hr SOT over 36 hours with light usage.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] th3:
So far, on average, the battery life is definitely not looking any good (downgrade).

I guess I might need to UC/UV and it maybe something related to the governor.

Sent from HTC 10
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] devsk:
So, wifi's wpa_supplicant daemon is generating about 4 debug logs per second and not letting the phone sleep at all. How do we tackle this? Does anybody know of a way to disable all logging? I am thinking all this logging, although to in-memory circular buffers, is eating up CPU cycles if it is that frequent, and hence eating up battery.

I have a question to people that have a problem with battery. Did u restore Google backup while setting up the phone? I read once here on xda that some people had some major problems with that. I set up my TEN as a new device and my battery is awesome considering that I use Facebook, messenger, instagram, what's up and viber apps! I never used Facebook apps because they were battery hogs but now with this phone.... Anything is possible :)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nokiacrazi:
I did restore using Google backups. My battery life isn't shocking nor amazing. I might consider wiping and clean installing at some point..

I can easily last a day unless it's crazy heavy usage. With very light usage two days is possible.

Nope. Google contacts are OK. Restoring data from apps, WiFi passwords etc might cause a problem but... it just might not must ;) But as I said if someone is having problems with battery it's worth checking out.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] rdmack:
Today was the biggest test for my 10 since I got it. Extended shift at work.

My use case today was earphones as I travel to and from work and earphones while I'm travelling at work. Because of the area I travel there's often no mobile reception at all.

Snapchat and messenger are used often, especially snapchat, so both cameras are in use.

Today powersaver was launched at 50% and extreme power saver at 1%.

My m9 often required recharging mid-shift but not the 10! Managed to survive until I got home.

Overall delighted
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] devsk:
Having gotten no leads on how to reduce the logging, I decided at least limit the CPU speed when it does all this while the screen is off because once the work is pending on the CPU, it will use as much as 1Ghz speed (currently, HTC 10 drops to 1Ghz speed once screen turns off). I did this using "Automate" which allows me run a script when screen gets locked/unlocked:

for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
do
if [[ -e /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${i}/cpufreq/scaling_governor ]]
then
echo "Doing CPU ${i}..."
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${i}/cpufreq/scaling_governor
#echo interactive > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${i}/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo $(cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${i}/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq) > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${i}/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
fi
done

Basically, set the max speed to be the min speed. The background sync and logging can chew as much CPU as it wants at the lowest speed, which is 300Mhz (it never goes beyond this). The standby time improved quite a bit (at night, its pretty much like 3% over a 12hr period) after this trick.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heisenberg420:
This phone only has 4 cores so you should be good with just 0-3. And the 2 big cores need a very good sized load to come online with the screen off so their likely not being affected by that script. Also that script would concern me limiting freqs to min every time the screen turns off. No problems playing music with screen off? Sounds like a disaster if using v4a.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] devsk:
The automate scripts I make are generic. They can run on octa core CPUs on other phones too. I check for existence of the file anyway.

As for the audio, CPU speed should not matter because there is a dedicated chip for audio. Either that or 300Mhz is enough, I haven't seen any drops or pops in my audio experience yet. But the standby times are through the roof...:)

I deem you are missing one tiny thing (what rather typical for iPhone users..) ?

There are 3 (three) physically absolutely separate networks..

They basically have nothing to do with each other at all - except one thing..

Your hTc 10 is capable to connect to any one of them - but only one at a time due to those are totally different networks and have nothing in common from technical (wireless protocol) point of view..

All those three networks were deployed by your carrier however your smartphone may be connected to only one of three at a given time..

I hope it is quite obvious that each of three networks will have its own different signal strength in some particular spot - when at the same time your smartphone retains its ability to choose and to connect to one of those aforementioned three networks based on some encoded by the manufacturer algorithm.. ?

The networks are called: 2G, 3G and 4G (which has been certified solo as LTE in US.. (hehe, thanks to T-Mobile)) ?

^Just my usual days usage. I only ran the test for myself to set my expectations. I do it with every device. I had 8-9hr with M8 but 6-7hr with M9. 10s 9-10hr is a good result.

Most of it is... just playing FIFA, reading/answering forums, and setting up the phone via HTC Transfer Tool, HTC Backup, Dropbox and Play store. Over 28GB of downloads and installs. At the same time I was skim reading, google searching, loading webpages, forums, journals, ppts, xls, docs and pdfs (well, researching 10/14/16nm lithography process all over the net). And there was also about 30 pictures taken. Did quite a bit of editing/messing around with them. I tend to do like 6 things at the same time, flicking between each.

Tapatalk had the highest SOT.

Static indoor book reading will get me much more but I never can sit in one place for more than 1hr so it's never happening ?

That math is wrong....you meant "3 hours sleep on LTE only drains 1.5% (0.5%/hr)". Yes, that's consistent with my observations. But this does not apply to sleep time drain only. It applies to usage as well, depending on how light or heavy the usage is. If you are playing game non-stop 2 hours, then, wifi drain is going to be small in comparison.

I posted a thread up a while ago about playback being poor on Remix with 50Hz content (mods please delete that thread thank you), but it seems following a recent fresh install that all video playback is absolutely terrible no matter how I approach it.

I use an external WD 2Tb drive which connects via Stickmount. This is working fine for roms and also on other units (Ouya, Rpi2 etc). It's a mains powered drive and I plug it directly into the USB 2 slot and then into the wall so it doesn't use the MOJO's power. My telly admittedly isn't the best - it's an old Samsung 32" HD Ready thing that usually only goes to 720p (but will detect and utilise 1080p as evidenced by my Ouya) but it has never displayed this issue before. Ouya playback wasn't amazing, but it was way better than I'm experiencing here.

No matter what media player I use, be it Kodi, SPMC, MX Player, VLC or even directly from the gallery, all playback from local files on the drive (mp4, MKV, avi, divx and so on) is extremely choppy. Frames seem to be dropping, jumping and lagging, making video viewing unbearable. At first I thought it was the media player, but no matter what I settings I adjust the video will stutter. I've tried my own recommended settings, and many different types of combinations but nothing stops it. Believe me, I've spent hours at this! I've even tried changing out the HDMI cable for something better but it's made no difference.

So now I'm pretty confident this is happening at system level and cannot be addressed in the player's settings. There must be a setting somewhere that needs to be addressed to enable better video playback. Please please help me, I am going insane. Or could it be the TV and I should buy a proper HD set?

Either way, help me end this madness please!
[M.O.J.O. General] kevinthefixer:
Too late to get help before you go insane--you're addicted to Androids.

Do you have the same problem streaming from the internet? That would tell us if it's an input or output problem. Also, don't let's overlook the obvious--are you plugging in the HDD into the USB3 port or the USB2? Have you tried copying a file to a good fast microSD card and playing it from there? (the Samsung EVOs recently dropped in price dramatically). And it might be worth trying out CM12.1 again too. Maybe even trying a different USB cable to the HDD. But you didn't have this problem before you reinstalled RemixOS, did you? I'm rambling but I want to get as many ideas out before my short-term memory loss kicks in. But I would think the MOJO has plenty of horsepower on any Lollipop ROM to play videos at 1080p. Resource hog running in the background? Did you try a task killer?
[M.O.J.O. General] K-Project:
Thanks for your detailed reply!

1. Playing video via the YouTube app looks fine.

2. The HDD is plugged in via USB2. The CTRLR dongle is in the USB3 slot.

3. Haven't tried playing a file via SD Card. I have a good Sandisk one somewhere and will give it a go. Good idea. :)

4. Will certainly try a newer USB cable as I do like to eliminate the obvious and easy solutions first where possible. But no, I did not have this issue with the Rpi or the Ouya.

5. I will try a task killer but like you I don't think this is the issue. Going into Remix settings there doesn't seem to be anything reported as taking up a lot of memory.

Two things I have tried since posting. First was playing the same files with OSMC on Rpi2, and second was changing the HQ scaling on the MOJO in SPMC. On OSMC I notice I do seem to have a duff file, one in particular that first got me worried, but I was still getting some judder with other files. As for HQ scaling, my Google Fu reveals the usual recommended setting is 20% rather than the default 0%. But after playing with it, I've put it right up to 70% and this seriously seems to have helped. I'll keep playing and see how it works across different files. It's such a shame that Android doesn't switch the display mode like Linux does on demand.

I don't think it's the fault of Remix any more tbh. I'm pretty sure I can get this right. But there's a lot of trial and error and I have a lot of varying content to cater for. However if all else fails I will indeed give CM 12.1 another go. Unless there's going to be a CM 13 soon.... ;)

Again, thanks for your help. :)
[M.O.J.O. General] kevinthefixer:
I think first I'd try swapping the dongle and the HDD, see if the USB3 port does it. Next another USB cable, is the HDD USB3 compliant? If so make sure the cable is also.

I wouldn't count on any more development happening for the MOJO. Aside from Mad Catz, there has been only one developer working on it, and I haven't seen any posts from him lately. CM makes it as easy as humanly possible to port their ROM to any given machine, and they publish a guide for it, so next time I have a few months off I might try to aquire that skill. But don't hold your breath.
