ok so im going to Europe in about 2 months and im going to be using my phone as my main camera. but im worried about the battery mid day since i will be taking tons of photos, i wont be using data so i know to toggle that off and i will be removing any non necessary play store app so it wont consume any battery since i can easily DL it again once im home ... i will be using juice defender U. but is there any thing else i can do to conserve my battery ... i wont be using flash on the camera if i don't need to. any ideas will help oh and im running ICS if that helps
go to plane mode to kill the radios, and you should have a camera that last almost the whole week

Also, SetCPU to roughly 600MHz max, ondemand, and make sure it's 192-192 with a screen-off profile.
If you don't own the app, the app is free to XDA folks on the G1 board, or you can support the dev by buying it from Play Store.
Sweet thanks to you both def helped out !

I'm posting this question because I'm sort of confused, I've had my hero since July and since then have ran every rom to date. Now I'm running AospMod 9.9.2 and have never witnessed such horrible battery life. I know it has nothing to do with this rom because I used to get f*cking awesome battery life almost 2 days without charging. Now I'm lucky if I get 6 hours moderate use... Charged to 93 this morning, still on charger rebooted to install keyboard, loaded back up dropped to 73...
I've done all sorts of calibration nothing works, Can I please get some insight on my problem before I buy a new battery? Thanks in advance!

It might be the ROM. Did you change back to a different one to see how it worked? If it went for almost 2 days a few days prior then drops to a 6 hour usage I highly doubt it's the battery itself. When my G1 battery went it started to lose time very fast at the end but it did it gradually over months before I had to get a new one.

Well when I had my best battery life it was with AospMod 9.6 - 9.7.
I might go back to an older version and see..

The reason I ask about a new battery is, when my phone just sits on the homescreen with only google sync on gmail, beautiful widgets 3 hour for weather check, and some icons the battery ia draining 1% every like 5 mins without me doing anything...

If You Open Your Dialer, & Press *#*#4636#*#* It'll Take You To A Menu Where You Can Check The Battery & A Bunch Of Other Hidden Settings, But Not Sure If It Works With All Dealers? I Know It Works With Sense!

You might have a zombie process or an app with a mem leak something is really eating that battery. Some apps/Widgets are poorly written and can cause battery issues. Typical life of a battery should be about 2 years(if that) before it starts to not hold a charge anymore though. There's a way to check which zombie process or mem leak could be killing your battery it would easily tell you. I wish I could give you the link but I'm on my phone. Flipz tells you how to do this on his site.
UPDATE: I found the link dude.

I've noticed my phone only charging at around 70mah when simply on the home screen (charges very fast when screen is off/sleep, 800+mah). I am using battery monitor widget to see the current draw. Using battery doctor, it tells me Maps is using 99% of the battery being consumed, even after testing it out playing Temple Run 2 for 20 minutes on max screen brightness. Is anyone else having this issue? Any known solutions? I even tried disabling GPS and latitude.

Go into settings/location and turn off GPS and location and search.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
I have tried that. But I would like to use my GPS as it has a lot of uses with applications. That still doesn't explain having such a high current draw enough to only charge at only 70mah even while in use. Any phone should be able to charge significantly faster than the battery drains (aside from USB charging). Something is putting a ton of unwanted load on while the phone is not sleeping. The phone sleeps VERY well in the sense of conserving power (-10mAh)
Can someone download battery doctor and see if Maps is also very high on their list? It could also be a false reading on the apps end. I'm looking at my phone right now on max brightness and it shows it's discharging at -304mAh, which is acceptable. I'm more concerned about the charging rate being horrible while the phone is awake. Something might be really making the processor do unnecessary work.
I have the same percentage for maps as well....

I use GSAM. I used to have issues with maps doing that, and forgot how I fixed it. I wish they would make Google maps not suck. So many freaking wakelocks.
Edit: make sure you turn off that location sharing friend crap, check in notification and auto check in.

It's kind of sad that they took "Screen" out of the list of power consuming things as that is truly the most common power consuming factor. I'm really not impressed with this release of Sense. I WANT MORE PANELS!! lol I went from 7 panels from the Evo 3D to 5 panels including blinkfeed which I don't use. Sooo lamee
Anyway, the phone is new so I'm sure there will be updates fixing a ton of issues since they kind of rushed the release after the initial delay. I'm betting a bunch of issues escaped unfixed because of that. Would anyone suggest a ROM to potentially fix my issue and improve everything as a whole?

Which app is that and which ROM are you using? My HTC One is rooted but I haven't rommed it yet. I'm debating whether or not I should and if I do, which one I should use.
I'm still wondering if anyone has had any experiences with extremely slow charging while using the phone.

That app is stock sense. Settings > power > usage. I would say definitely ROM it. More customization possibilities and it will only get better. The ROMs that are out now are completely stable and mildly tweaked compared to what they will be in a month or so. Also I had slow charging for my first few cycles and it seems to have gotten much better. At least on par with my wife's evo lte.

I'm leaning towards the Viper ROM. Any other suggestions or possibly better ROMs?
I believe everything gets wiped when the ROM is flashed, correct? I already have TWRP installed.
The generic answer is to try a few different ones and see what works best for you. For me, I'm using viper as my daily. But who knows what I'll be using tomorrow.... I'm a flashaholic. There's a superwipe posted in these forums that will wipe everything for you but in essence it formats system, data, cache, and dalvik. Any time you jump to a different ROM you will want to wipe everything. Keep in mind a factory reset is not the same thing as a full wipe as it does not wipe system files.

So every time you flash another ROM, what do you do to recover all your data, apps, game progress, etc.
I just made a backup of everything with my stock ROM using TWRP.
Personally I use titanium backup.... But it can cause issues as can any app that transfers data between ROMs. you can actually import data from your nandroid by using titanium.... Or just restore the data partition from your nandroid from within twrp. No matter what you may run into issues and if that's the case just start over for the best results.
I apologize ahead of time if this makes no sense.... Exhaustion at work is setting in.

Just take your time between selecting things and use the volume and power buttons instead of the touchscreen. It will install eventually

You have to try..
I tried some rom, and all are good, custom kernel are *-*!
On my Galaxy S3, I tried so many ROMs but I always went back to either stock or Android Revolution HD. I now have the One and I use Android Revolution HD 10.2 which is great, but I haven't tried any other custom ROMs, to be honest with you. I may give Trickdroid a shot since it seems very popular here, but I'll probably go back to ARHD eventually since I love how stock, stable and fast it is, and most importantly battery life is great.
well ive used the hd 10.2 today and seemed ok i listened to music streamed music from dropbox and listened to tunein radio today and battery life seemed good and also didnt get as hot as the other roms ive tried for what i use it for do i really need 4 cores active all the time could i not just have 2 active mostly and 4 when needed would this help the temperture of the phone and save even more battery life ?
I am not sure the kernel supports that. I know that the Galaxy S4's octa-core or whatever has that feature, but I am not sure about the One. Perhaps it does as well.

Use stock. It's so stable I have no words for it and you don't have to mess with it too . So what do you say?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
with pretty much every rom it will be hotter at first but after a few days it will cool down. and if you turn on power saver it will limit the cpu and other things if you set it to which will help with temp and battery
Use greenify for better battery. Set it where it hybernates all apps when their not being used. Battery life is great without it but with it... It's phenominal.

Hi all,
I just got my HTC ONE few days ago, and I feel like my battery life is not really good.
I have the Tmobile version, does anyone know if the stock rom is consuming lotta battery?? Mine can only last one day about 15hrs only normally.
Also, I am planing to root the phone, any good thread do you guys recommend?
Many thanks!!!

Here is a great link for unlocking, rooting, and installing a custom ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182792
I have been running the Android Revolution ROM since I got the phone with a few more mods through the Xposed Framework. I get excellent battery life (full day with heavy usage) and am able to do pretty much anything I want with the interface.
My battery life is a little under 8hrs this is because i watch movies while in transit play games, read books and such. But if i go low power with powersave mode and use my phone like a normal person i can go the whole day with my phone. I'm using Viper Rom 2.0 with Elemental X kernel clock at 1.9

Look in the Play Store for - Greenify, that will help extend you battery life if set up correctly, and it is quite simple to use
you could always enable the "battery save" option in settings

My battery life is amazing also.
I have always disabled the wrist turn-on action in the past as it absolutely DESTROYED my battery life (the damn thing would go dead in like 5 hours). I hated to turn it off however because it is just so darn handy and I don't want to wear out the tiny hardware button.
With Null 20/21 I have been experimenting with different combinations for battery life. I could care less about bragging that my battery lasts 4 days etc. with all the features turned off, but I do need it to make it through a 12 hour work day before it dies.
For the last two days, I have left the motion on and the only thing I have done to increase life is leave the top clock speed set to 1200 with both cores enabled (on demand governor) and it has made it through both days with still a little spark left.
This was with blu-tooth tethering connected all day also with gmail/weather syncing (even though I could certainly live without that).
