I disabled now on tap, but I actually use now. It's odd, because it doesn't drain that fast during the day. Just overnight. Yesterday for example once it 100% and I unplugged it, it dropped only 30% with light usage over 10 hours or so. But last night with no usage overnight, it dropped about 35% over 8 to 9 hours.

So it used less power over more time when I use it occasionally, but when it's completely idle it drains faster.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Phil750123:
Is it evenly draining over that 8-9 hours at night or in spurts?
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] failedjedi:
It's perfectly even. The graph is a near perfectly straight line of dropping.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Phil750123:
Not sure if you can do this or not, but try going airplane mode over night? Mabye your bed is at a really weird 4g/3g mix point
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] failedjedi:
I'll try it, but that certainly not the case. I have full LTE signal. My area has great coverage. I'll try airplane mode just to see though.

I did a factory reset, first I'll see how that works.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Phil750123:
Yer it could be so many things, just a matter of trying various different things and see what works! Always a pain!

I suspect it will be google app related, mabye photos trying to sync constantly or google now constantly updating etc...
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] PryvateiDz:
I get about 4 hours-4 hours & 30 minutes of SOT. Which I don't necessarily mind, but it doesn't seem like the greatness that HTC touted about. I knew 2 days was far-fetched (more so do to long modes in idel and using the power saver and extreme power saving mode).
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Phil750123:
how did you get on?

Just note i left mine last night for 9 hours, dropped 1%. I turned off wifi and mobile data and kill all apps before bedtime though.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] failedjedi:
Here is what I did. Factory reset. Didn't install any new apps, didn't use adoptable storage, didn't turn on smart unlock, didn't turn on any diagnostic sending, set location to battery saver, and still dropped 30% overnight. A ton of keep awakes all night. I can't imagine what it is. I force closed everything before bed too. The brightest I ever keep the screen is around 40%, but usually it's around 25% and as dim as it goes at night. But that's all irrelevant as the screen is off overnight.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Phil750123:
So going by what you did you can rule out a stray third party app.

I would either try airplane mode tonight to rule out anything signal based, or turn of syncing see if its an issue syncing to your gmail account or something like that.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] failedjedi:
So here is something interesting. I didn't make any changes yesterday I'm aware of. I planned on trying power save mode before bed and seeing what happens. However completely unrelated to my phone, I got a new wireless router. A netgear nighthawk. Setting that up yesterday evening made me completely forget to put my phone in power save. Woke up, it only lost a few % at most overnight.

So I'm going to go ahead and assume it was some wifi related issue causing the drain.

But this is where I get annoyed again. I woke up, saw that and was happy. Then all I did was check my email, and browse reddit for just a minute or two in chrome. Suddenly my phone was getting really hot, and I lost 9% in the less than 5 minutes I opened gmail and chrome. Screen on lowest brightness still.

So now I get stand by battery life I'm happy with, but while actually using the phone it drops faster than ever.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Phil750123:
Told you it would be signal related!

Mabye it was trying to re sync stuff after you turned it on. How's it been this afternoon
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] failedjedi:
Terrible. I took it off the charger 10pm last night. Used it a very tiny bit before bed. Like less than 10 minutes screen on time. Woke up and it was at 94%. Now here I am at 330pm and I'm at 62% with just 1hr13min screen on time. The power graph shows a steep drop every time screen is on. Just checking my email and replying to one or two in less than 5 minutes I can see it drop 3 to 4%.

But I guess I can't complain about what will end up being 2.5 to 4 hours screen on time over 24 hours. Everyone else is getting better, but it's still an upgrade over my G3. Quick charge helps get over it. I just wish I was getting closer to what everyone else posting over in the battery life thread.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Phil750123:
have you deleted your cache partition? Might be worth doing through recovery menu
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
Battery drain? My G4 went from a full charge to 5‰ with a SOT of an hour and forty-five minutes.

This sounds like an upgrade to me.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jrwingate6:
What you described is exactly what happened to my S7E for the first few days until I cleared the cache and did a factory reset.

Also try connecting to the 2.4 band instead of the 5.0.

I'm really hoping Verizon gets the update soon.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mahercs:
Well, I can't figure it out (despite a whole lot of attempts), but something is keeping my WiFi on 24/7 despite it clearly not being on or connected to a network unless I am at home. I also noticed that the phone is showing Awake 24/7. I assumed the two things were connected, but I turned off the reporting mentioned here earlier, my wifi scanning has been off, yet still, WiFi shows "on" for some reason in the battery stats (not in the settings, however). I changed my location settings to phone only for now, and that seemed to fix the awake issue, but the wifi still won't show that it's ever turned off. Running out of ideas, other than using safe mode or uninstalling one app at a time. I didn't have this issue with my previous phone, and I didn't install any new apps I didn't previously have, but maybe one of them isn't playing nice with Marshmallow. (Only had Lollipop on the old device)
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mcuellar:
Having the exact same issue. Even after turning WiFi off using Quick Settings, the battery stats shows like WiFi has been on all the time, solid green bar. Not sure if this is affecting battery life, or if it is just incorrectly displaying it on the battery stats. A quick Google search shows other HTC phones have had this issue in the past, but I haven't been able to find a solution.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mahercs:
I have an app called MacroDroid that triggers my WiFi and BT on and off based on certain situations. I disabled it for now to see if that was the cause. If I hadn't connected to a known network within 1 minute, it turned WiFi off. I tested to see if it actually turned off, and in the Settings menu, I would watch it shut off on its own...but the battery stats showed that wasn't the case. Anyway, with that app disabled and location set to Device Only, it looks like WiFi finally turned off and the phone is no longer awake all the time. I turned Location back to High Accuracy, and it looks like I am ok for now. Maybe it was that app after all, despite witnessing the WiFi turning off, it somehow registered as always on. I'll keep playing with it and see what happens.

EDIT: So after a few hours, I have looked at my stats and both WiFi and Awake have been tamed. I guess I am deleting MacroDroid and looking for an alternative! My battery life has improved tremendously! (Hope this isn't a small sample size fluke, but I will monitor and report and negative results over the weekend. But for now, seems like that was the issue!)
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dottat:
Any of you guys have xfinity with this issue?
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mcuellar:
No Xfinity; I have U-Verse. So here is what I did yesterday, after reading other forums: I changed the Location settings (using the 3 dot menu on the top right) and under Scanning I turned off both options for WiFi scanning and Bluetooth scanning. I then restarted the phone. I have been tracking the battery stats since, and quite a difference. The WiFi full solid green bar is no longer there. Also, the bars for Awake and Screen On pretty much match each other. Not sure if by turning off the WiFi scanning it will make it harder for apps like Google Maps or Waze to lock in a location, or if this causes some other issues, but it seems like the battery is lasting longer like that.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] MJL99:
Heres my battery drain issue.

Phone stays awake after being put on that charger. Once charger is removed, phone will have solid awake bar. After a reboot it will return to sleeping again. I cant figure out what would cause it to not sleep after charger being disconnected. Despite the phone staying awake according to the battery stats, I still get really good battery life. So while it isnt a big battery drain, I'm sure its still not as good as it can be when phone not sleeping.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] sjpritch25:
Hopefully the update the international version will fix this
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] MJL99:
after a bit of research ive narrowed down my phone being awake after charging to the app Viber. found other people had the same issue and after deleting the app my phone will not be awake 100 percent after taking it off the charger until a reboot. I had thought this was an htc issue with verizon not being updated to the latest but guess not.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Alpejohn:
Hi guys,

Got my 10 on monday this week, and i absolutly love it. But i also got this weird battery drain that i can't really explain.

It started with what seemed as using very much battery when used, it could drop 1% every 2-3 minute while surfing or doing stuff. But i dont think this problem

was there the first day. Anyways..

As the days past i thought that it used alot, much more then my old Nexus 5x, and even the Nexus 5 that i use at work (my girlfriend has the N5x now).

So i stardet to do quick searches on google, and i found this thread yesterday.

Last night i went to bed with 69% left, wifi on and no cleard apps. It had been using alot of juice earlyer, and it showed snapchat and gmail on top of the list, but they hadnt actually used that much power. Around 30-40 mah each. So it couldnt be those.

Anyways, over night my phone went from 69% to 49% ca. Thats crazy!

As you can see (atattched pic), i went to bed where it says 9.6. About midnight. And the line goes down down down..

In the morning i used the phone while eating breakfast and read some more about battery drain. I turned on flight mode and let it sit like that

while i was at work. As you can see, when i did that, the line suddenly stopped going down, and more straight (not perfect though).

So while i was at work it went from ca 43% to around 40%. Thats not very unusual i would say.

I had beforehand turned off the "wifi always on" function.. So when i turned off flight mode it didnt seem as it used as much battery as before..

And the wifi bar stopped, and never come back afterwords.. So wifi seems as turned off.

I know i have had some problems with my wifi, im currently using a range extender, and has often experienced low speeds and messages saying "your not connected to internet" and so on.. This isnt a problem when connected directly to the wifi of my modem. So i need to buy a new router with better coverage.

So i will look closer at this and see if i can find out more.

Also considered doing a factory reset and clear the catch partition so thats done..

I also saw someone refering to version 1.3.0 or something (if that was in this thread), my phone has 1.3.0****.

By the way, its an what i would belive international unlocked phone.

Have you come across any new info around this problem?

Hope you take the time to answer! :)

Regards

Fredrik

I know, but the problem was very similar to mine, so just wanted to share my to cents. :)
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] pettigrew95:
I'm getting terrible battery life on my phone considering the usage pattern I'm throwing at it. Looks like Google Play Services may be the culprit. I am not rooted or anything so is there anything I can do to help improve my battery life? See attached pic for the associated processes with Google Play Services that are draining my battery the most. Thanks!
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] sjpritch25:
I would follow the thread on enabling power saver mode & using that. You don't need root.

I've tried just about everything to figure out my battery drain. Cleared cache partition, have reset the phone multiple times, settings, app deletes and no matter what, after a short period of time the problem comes back. Sometimes it will be a few hours, other times a day. I had my battery go from 89% to 10% overnight. It remains awake 100% of the time.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] dottat:
Does the problem exist if you factory reset and don't login to google? Google does restore some app data now when it restores apps.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] elshagon:
I will try that, but I thought you needed to login to your Google account at some point? It's strange, each time after a reset the battery goes wild after a short period.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Alpejohn:
Try turning off wifi, then turn on flight mode, wait 20 sec and turn flight mode off, do not turn on wifi again.

This worked for me when the battery started draining fast.. Mine also showed wifi on all the time, and no apps where using much power. So it was an "invisible" battery drain..

I got an update a few days ago, and now it actually seems as its gotten better..

But try the flight mode thing and see. (mine is the euro unlocked version) though it never hurt to try.. :)
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] pidzero:
I've been lurking this thread and wanted to add my experience. Today, I've had a lot of SoT. 10.5 hours of battery from full charge to 20% with 7 hours SoT.

Nowhere near 2 days, though.

also, logd is constantly running. occasionally it disappears from the running app list (top right), but comes back almost immediately. is this normal? could it be a culprit?

i'm relatively new to xda forums, and they wont allow image links until i have 10 posts. copy, paste:

I've finally started narrowing down my battery drain and overheating issue. I began disabling most of my apps to see if it had any effect. The battery drain along with the hot temps is now fixed. Since I disabled things in groups I have it narrowed down to several things. I believe it was the Google app (google now) that was causing the drain. I've yet to turn it back on to confirm. It's a bummer because I like using Google Now. Before I was getting 4-5 hours on my phone. At night it would drop from 90 to 10% with the screen off. Right now I have 75% left on my phone with it off the charger for about 12 hours. In a few days I will start turning thing back on to confirm what I suspect.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] pidzero:
That is a bummer, but 4 to 5 hour max battery runtime sucks even more... I have little left to disable!

On my way now to disable Google Now and sever the charging connection that may as well have been glued to my phone.

---------- Post added at 12:58 ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 ----------

Google Now has been disabled in every way I saw how and already I've lost 3% since unplugging 35 minutes ago. ARGH!!

---------- Post added at 13:31 ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 ----------

now at 91% in less than an hour off charger.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] elshagon:
I disabled the Google app in the phones app settings
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] pidzero:
I disabled in: Settings > Google > Search & Now

Settings > App Manager > Google App seems irrelevant and probably ill-advised. I use Google search all the time. It also show 0% battery use.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] elshagon:
For me it seems the battery use doesn't correspond to whatever is eating through the battery. There's still a couple other apps and settings I changed which could have caused the battery drain besides Google Now. Over the next few days I will try and narrow it down. I'm not sure if it will help anyone else, as it may be something specific to my account or phone.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] pidzero:
im curious, if you go to:

com.android.systemui

logd

occasionally logd disappears for a second, but comes right back.

Are you using only Wi-Fi while at home. There is a problem with the Wi-Fi & battery draining. I don't use Wi-Fi anymore.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] pidzero:
[rant]Of course I use WiFi at home! I don't expect that to change until carriers offer unlimited, non-throttled, and otherwise unrestricted data.

But no, Verizon wants $15/GB so badly that they practically steal it from customers by bloat and apparently, by force (the battery premium on WiFi... for as long as they can get away with dragging their feet on the fix... which will probably install more bloat).

Update: I turned Google App back on yesterday and my battery so far is doing fine. There's a number of apps and settings I haven't turned back on yet.

I have a new issue that resulted in a 50% drop in battery over 9 hours while I slept last night. It looks like it was the kernel and OS - not sure what to do about this besides reboot and wipe cache. Can't figure out how to make thumbnails.

Turn off Wifi Scanning

I was experiencing the same issues, and went through many of the same steps mentioned here (including a factory reset!). Eventually, what solved my battery drain was turning off Wifi Scanning in the Location settings. Hope this will help for some of you out there.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] kj13569:
I have issues as well with battery drains from google play services, no matter what I do I cannot get more than 4 hours screen on time. I don't have the best of signal usually about 3-4bars but I see peeps getting 7+ screen on time and I have no clue what trickery is going on there. I have an unlocked version running the verizon ruu and flashed to Viper 2.4.0 and elementalx kernel. Can anyone tell me which governor/io scheduler is best for battery and speed?
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] im_high_tech:
7+ Screen on time people are full of crap. DO NOT believe them. The only way to achieve that is MIN brightness, and let your device sit still the entire time with nothing happening.

With the HTC 10, using it moderately throughout the day, you should average a maximum of 4 hours screen on time. I have never gone over that. (I'm going off predicted screen on time since I don't sit on my phone all day like some people).
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] kj13569:
Yea, I agree and thought it was fake, I actually use my phone and I think 4hrs SOT is great. Wish we could optimize (in battery settings) google services.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] andybones:
I've hit 8 hours SOT and no it isn't fake. Was it a daily representation? No.

I will hit 5-6 SOT and this is a more daily run.

Believe it or not, thats your choice.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] im_high_tech:
Thats insane andy. I don't doubt that its possible its just hard to believe people get that with average day usage. Even 5-6 hours SOT for daily usage is insane.

Do you turn of WiFi or 4G every time your not using it? or what else do you do to achieve that?
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] andybones:
I was hitting 5 hours SOT on the M8 on GPe ROM before I switched over to the hTC 10.

I've always been a light user. No social apps, if I need to check Facebook, or Twitter which I use barely ever I just use Chrome.

I'm massively de-bloated, and the 3rd party apps I have that didn't come in the ROM are slim.

I've always been int he habit of turning of WiFi and 4g when not in use. So if I leave my home, I turn off WiFi and turn on 4g.

I don't use Bluetooth too often, and I have 2-3 MP3 players laying around (a 16 GB iPhone5, 32GB LG G2 and my personal M8 and Dev M8, so I never end up using the 10 when in car for music.

I have my Nexus 9 tablet that I'm on when possible.

With the findings of the WiFi drain, normally I would just keep it on overnight, but lately I've been turnnig it off, although even with it on, I only lose about 2% overnight. (I've been playing with pmic.img from other variant 10's including the new 1.90.401.3 pmic.img to see about WiFi drain and finding the best, esp since Verizon firmware is so far behind)

I'll post the final results in an edit to this post from the earlier screen shots once I hit down to around 20-15% I usually charge around 30%

Hope this helps.
[Verizon HTC 10 Questions & Answers] im_high_tech:
Sweet, thank you for the detailed input. I actually have been reading and partially following your post about the pmic.img and how the T-Mobile one was doing better than the others. I only lose about 3% over night on Verizon Firmware with 4g on (8 hours of sleep).

I guess compared you I'm a heavier user. Running a stock Verizon model (no root yet), I never turn off 4G, I stream Play Music about 1-3 hours daily, primarily through Bluetooth. I also play about 30 minutes of games. I use JOIN to text through my computer all day at work. I use Reddit and Facebook as well. GPS is always on HIGH ACCURACY since i like Google Fit to track my actions accurately.
