Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the HTC 10's battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I play World of Tanks Blitz on my amazing HTC 10. I get about 4 + hours of gaming on battery which is outstanding! My HTC m9 would get about 3 hours under the same load of gaming, so would Nexus 6. As a result, phone lasts me all day and that is "quietly brilliant".

Was playing Dofus 3.30h in an afternoon, was incredible :30% battery left.
I went to a zoo today. By car the ride there took about 2 hours whilst using the phone for Navigation. When i arrived at the zoo i was about 80 percent battery. At the zoo i took 622 Pictures. And a small video of a bird. When i went back in the car i had 30 Percent battery left. Then i put it to charge.
That is awesome i think. Especially since i had a person with me that had my old HTC One S with. And the battery of my old device was gone on the half way
Greetings.

I've been using Sabsa Prime and the battery seems to drain quickly and I'm wondering what rom would be good for battery?
I'm using Nik Project X 4.1 and I get average battery: I can get 3 days of battery with normal usage (Wifi + Music player). I used to get 5 days of battery easy with Nik Trinity Sensation XL but I'm looking for a ICS rom with good battery life.

it really depends on where you are, what socket do you have, etc. But what i know excactly - non sense roms are much better about battery than sense one's. i've used miui, now using jelly bean - it's really better

Lying to this people is not nice, there's no way you can make it lasts for 3 days even if you don't use it at all, no matter which rom you are using. Not to mention 5 days.
I'm not sure who're you trying to lie to, us or yourself?
Or maybe you have 2 batteries connected together...

Okay, maybe not really 3 days or 5 days full but almost near that. For ICS I could get 2 days + 12 more hours then it goes to zero. For Trinity XL GB rom, I could get 5 days (well 4 days + 8 hours) because of the deep sleep mode.

Read your posts, 3-5 days with normal usage (wifi+music player) and that's not deep sleep, but even if you leave it in deep sleep no way to pump it up to 5 days or 4d+8h.
Or maybe I'm wrong, but I've never seen a smartphone with battery life like yours. Maybe you should go to HTC and offer your services, cause you'll make them a top smartphone seller as the first smartphones manufacturer that makes them with 5-days battery.
god I'm lucky to get 15 hours with normal usage on ICS\JB.
The best ROM I've found for battery life was CM7. When I go on holiday I always roll back to it
I managed to get a whole week on Android Revolution. I cleaned up almost all default applications, set low screen brightness, used Nova as a launcher, turned off the glamorous animation effects and blocked all data transfer (except for an hour per day, when I turned WiFi on, checked my mailbox and read news feeds). This profile is not really convenient for everyday usage, but it is suitable when you travel.
After try so many roms, I think there are 2 roms -- stock and arhd4.
I am using arhd because battery usage is almost the same as stock rom but it is a bit faster (not oc). My normally usage, this 2.5 years old machine can take up to 36-40 hours.
From my captured battery usage picture.
Screen on: 2 hrs
Auto brightness
Wifi always on
3g: 4 hrs
Voice call: 30 mins

I get a decent days worth from Sabsa, I don't expect it to go on much longer than a day and I charge it every night, but I can leave data on to auto sync, and make/take a couple of calls etc and I get by OK.
I've been running it for a long time now, it's settled down and is functional.

I agree. Also, I'd love to charge my phone in 30 seconds. It's a different approach to solving the battery-life problems.
If you can't make a battery that lasts longer, make charging faster.

That makes so much sense, I whole heartily agree
About time battery tech evolved in 1 way or another.
That's a website full of very classy people...
The energy density given is not bad for a supercapacitor, but the ballpark figure 'comparable to normal batteries is only 10% of chemical batteries.
So... your phone may recharge in 20 seconds, but only run for an hour or two.
Still it is great progress. Imagine a normal battery for the long runs, and this quick charge capacitor for a fast recharge in between.

Heya,
I've used my One for a few hours now, I'd say moderately heavy use (checked facebook/twitter, downloaded some apps, watched a few youtube video's, played Dungeon Hunter 4 for 30 minutes or so, checked flipboard).
I'm amazed by the poor battery life, especially since all the reviews were so positive. Will it get better? Could I have a faulty battery? This is nowhere near the 14 hours people have been talking about...

you can't tell yet. @Zepid, look for better battery stats xda edition and install it and post the screenshot for kernel and partial wakelocks, other and process.
It's hard to really tell with the default battery monitor, try BetterBatteryStats or GSAM from a full charge and go from there.
Also turn Power Saver on. It limits the CPU to 1.1GHz, and won't even affect gaming performance, or anything else for the matter except benchmarks. Click on the Power Saver option to customize what gets turned on/off.
You should check out the thread that talks about battery saving tips. It helps a lot and make sure you install a custom Rom such as trickdroid.
It's very battery efficient.

Don't forget that if you install a custom ROM, you'll need to root your One. That also means loosing your warranty

DH4 is a beast on battery in my experience. It is hard to play that game and not burn a ton of battery.
Anyway, when I don't play DH4 I still get 5 hours screen time. That's without power saver, auto sync disabled, and Lux adjusting screen brightness. I'm sure if I used power saver I'd get much longer.
Seriously, give it a couple of days!

Graphic intense games like Dungeon Hunter 4 EATS the battery.
Thanks guys, the Power saving feature definately seems to help, and it's not slowing down the phone at all. I'll give it some time and see if the battery life improves.

I'm doing a low to medium usage test with Bluetooth, Location Access on High accuracy, WIFI, HSPA,Auto Brightness and google now. From 100% down to 0%. Then doing a Full charge time with phone turned on.
Will be posting screenshots via dropbox below with a few hours in between.

In addition I've used a2dp audio stream for an hour or so. I'll do a full screenshot of all the on times later.
Still very low usage scenario. Battery looking good. @22hrs 40% with updated screenshots above.
Final Result only took me to 15% with 1 Day 16 Hours. Screen on time 3hr 16mins. Needed a full battery for the day and couldn't risk it but atleast it's a general ballpark. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/oaj33ji9kssx5rt/BFiLIz-Jef
40 Hours is still pretty good for light usage. During a busy working day i would be happy with 9 hours max usage.

It looks ok with almost 2h of BT streaming calls + 2h of music. Other results in thread seem more "realistic" (if you don't use BT). Let's wait for more feedback. If it could make 4-4.30h screen on for me, that means with custom kernel and UC it could easily hit 5h or more. *thinking out loud*

Here's my reply from the previous thread...
Well you say it's disappointing but I disagree;
If you look at the screenshots you will see how much battery has been taken by the voice calls compared to screen on time;
30% of the total battery use was from the 3hr47m for screen on time but...
A whopping 26% for only 1hr28m of voice call time! If we use that ratio and just double it (assuming all network strength was the same) you'd likely lose 52% of your battery in just under 3 hours...(this is just an estimation based on my results btw).
I honestly don't understand the hard-on people get for screen on time when voice calls seem to drain the battery much much harder... doesn't anyone use their device as a phone anymore?
Also if you take into consideration how bad my signal was the battery life I had today was all the more impressive.
A Random Afterthought:
IF that 26% that were used on Voice calls were used for screen on time...although realistically it'd probably be something like 17-20% with the rest on random android processes and processor usage; the screen on time could easily be above 5 hours possibly pushing 6 with bad signal and no wifi O_O...
Well nexus 4 with Trinity kernel gets 6-7 hours so with nexus 5 I expect around 8 hours on a custom kernel and stock should get around 5 hours which is pretty darn good.

shr33kant,
The battery performance results you have are perfectly acceptable for a typical phone user that uses the phone for calls, web surfing, google services, movies etc. I only get 2 to 2hr. 15mins on my N4 with typical phone usage as you. So the N5 is basically getting better battery performance then the N4. :good:
