been charging for the last few hours, so no reliable info now, and I don't check this stat too often,
I use battery monitor widget to monitor the battery current usage (estimated but still) + betterbatterystats to find the offending apps,
after some fiddling with settings and autorun manager, I've managed to get to 2mA in sleep mode (seems too good to be true), ca. 320 mA for watching movies with wifi off at minimal brightness (translates into ca. 8 hours of playback), and 500-900 mA while browsing (no idea how to reduce this one)

Awesome battery life :-)

Over 3 days of standby, 9+ hours of screen time (auto brightness) and still12% left!
Happy camper, I am.

Was your brightness and sound on low?

Ive noticed great battery life also. seems like this thing never wants to die out. the Wifi signal is great yet it barely drains battery.

Tegra 3 in this thing rules. Smooth as butter and great battery.

I think its because theres no data connection. low data signal is a battery killer. where as we dont have this problem on the nexus 7..........well you guys dont. i dont have mine yet.

I was thinking the same thing...battery life is awesome

Can you please tell us what did you do for that 9 hours?
Web browsing mostly?
Music for how long?
Video as well?
And how about other settings like nfc, bluetooth, gps, are they on?
What about auto sync account and email?
Weather sync?
Widget?
Please tell us, that is certainly awesome

9 hours screen on was mostly Kindle app, bit of browsing, facebook, some youtube.
Bluetooth off, gps on when required (used Maps a couple of times)
Gmail push notifications
Android Pro Widgets (calendar, twitter, facebook) sync'ing every hour.
Contact Sync (for facebook contact sync'ing) every few hours.

I have to agree - battery life on this thing is phenominal. I use it all day at work for note taking and project management (whoa, using it for productivity, who would've thought?! haha) and keep it on auto brightness with bluetooth tethering to my phone. By the time I get home (well, the past two days at least) I've been above 55% battery life still. The only thing I've been able to do to absolutely kill the battery life is play 3D games, but even those can go on for many hours without a problem.

Ah. I have killed mine in like 5 hours but I played dead trigger, shadowgun, gta3 all while listening to my music in the cloud. I did underclock to 1.0ghz to keep the heat under control (don't blame the nexus the room I was in was 80+ degrees).

So far my battery life is so so. It was fully charged last night and I used it seldomly at work and I'm now at 44%. I try to kill all the apps whenever I remember.

I don't use task killers but thanks for the tip. I kill them in multitask and settings > apps > running.

Interesting... I'm not finding standby life on mine to be all that great. I'm running at about 1.5-2.0%/hour on standby (with wifi on), compared to the .5%/hour or so I got with my Transformer Prime. And, just sitting there playing music I was burning somewhere between 5-10%/hour.
Not sure what's going on, but I wouldn't characterize battery life on mine as "awesome" so far...

Killing them in multitask is like a task killer but the second one is the way to go and if rooted use rom toolbox or auto starts manager to stop processes from running in the background.

Post you battery life chart here!

I literally cannot take this phone off my hands but I tried to test out how long the battery could last with few gaming and browsing with light usage and this is what I got
I'm really impressed with standby times

I found there might be some defective on software or sth else,
some batteries drain so fast, some are not.
for example, mine never last over 24hr even i turn off everything, use only 2G, with no app installed.
and it's instable, sometimes it drains so fast, sometimes not. I don't know why.

Until we get a software update probably will be great battery like the update for one x

Same here my android system is on top, even after deleting some stock apps and disabling fast demorcacy. I usually get screen time of around 3 hours 10 mins which is poor.

I think that is why many of us expect a huge battery improvement after updating to JB ,perhaps the newer system wont be so power hungry.

these screenshots are fun and all but they are totaly irrelevant.
hoe much USE time are people gettng is whats interesting.
so screen on time.
as the goal is no drain with screen off and as long as possible screen on time (this is when you use apps and so on).
my phone can be on for 2 days and still hve 95% juice left but thats kinda irrelevant if i dont touch it.
when i use it non stop my use time averages on 4 hours and 15 minutes so far.
all the people having problems with battery drain must have either bad apps installed of verry poor wifi/3g connections.
as in a good serup with no bad apps and good signal wifi should not drain battery at all if your not using it.
i would so like all people with issue to lend me there phones for 3 days to see if in my stable envourement they have the same issues.
im fairly sure that all these problems are signal and user related and that it has nothing to do with the hardware.

My phone would only give me 2 hours max if the mobile data is on with sync off facebook sync set to 1 hour and hotmail sync set to 1 hours. But if wifi is on throughout the day i would get around 3 hours 15 min average with sync on hotmail set to push and facebook sync set to 1 hour. The battery is really poor as i only use it generally for txting whatsapp and just a bit browsing thats all nothing else. When i watch videos my phone consumes less battery, than normal usage which i do everyday. The highest screen time i have ever got was 4 hours 15 mins thatd because i watched a video for almost like 3 hours thats why. But the battery is still really poor

My android system also consumes a lot of power, its always on top no matter what. I am running on V_10H I disabled some stock apps using titanium backup and used fast demorcacy but the only difference I could see was android wakeups had been much lower thats all and so less power consumption when phone on standby thats all.

this is totally relevant information for regular users.
many people complain about battery drain and that a custom rom is the cause or custom kernel when its available, but what shows that it is not, is when you can place your handheld mobile or tablet alone with wifi set to instant off and you got 3g disabled and it lives for days without loss of battery, you know that it is stable.
when you suddenly lose battery in hours and previous tests showed it was lasting days, you can be sure you got battery infected apps trying to activate your cpu all the time.

i'd like to buy this phone but i'm a bit afaid of the battery drain. people who says it last 2 days with normal use other says that with gaming and browsing lasts 10-15h but a lot says that the battery lasts just 6 h with normal use... can someone who owns this phone and he use it with a middle-intense use (texting,browsing,gaming some time) tell me how much lasts the battery please??

Well, my usage pattern is kinda light, but still...
- took it off the charger at 7:15 am
- 3g data permanently on while I'm not at home (from 7:20 til 18:00 or 19:00)
- wifi on when I'm at home (during the night too, I never switch the phone off)
- sync always on (gmail, whatsapp)
- received a couple short phone calls, let's say 5-6 mins
- received a bunch of emails, say about 15 or something
- some messaging (on whatsapp and gtalk, I don't use sms)
- some facebook, let's say 15 minutes (through mobile website 'cause FB app sucks big time, always had and most probably always will)
- some net browsing looking for a few stuff, let's say 5-10 minutes
- checked a couple forums on tapatalk a couple times
- updated 3 or 4 apps on wifi
- downloaded a 50mb game on wifi and played it for like 10-15 minutes
- ebook reading on moon+ for 1 hour and 30 minutes (maybe even longer, didn't check the exact time)
I connected it to the charger when it reached 12% battery at about midnight THE NEXT DAY (yes, that is around 41 hours without recharging it)
Overall, I can say I'm satisfied, at least for my standard usage...
- Stock v10h firmware, no root (yet).
- Nova launcher since 5 minutes after buying it
- I usually keep brightness quite low unless I'm out in the open under the sun, good thing about this phone's screen is that it's usually very well visible even with only a 20% brightness. If I need to use it in full sunlight, I conveniently placed a full brightness widget on my homescreen, and then back to 20% with one click when I'm done. No autobrightness 'cause I don't like much how it's set to work on this phone (was kinda better on my old i9000, but oh well, 1 click widget and I'm good to go, no sweat)
- Disabled 3 or 4 stock apps (through app settings, no titanium or other stuff)
I noticed that battery usage was kinda higher before disabling those stock apps, I guess one of them was a powermonster of sorts (I suspect the meteo one, but I'm not sure)
- No facebook notifications of course, not for battery-related reasons but just 'cause I simply hate them... but I guess that's nice on the battery too

Your phone is awake nearly the entire 5 hours and you screen is on the majority of the time.
What do you expect?

WakeLock on HTC ONE!
Okey!Another problem i found when installed GSam...Why is consuming too much battery than others apps that i use...?
Tryed to find in forums and internet : is possible to be from a media files or media scanner(i'm not sure because i compared results of my htc ONE with Galaxy Note ( in Samsung i have tons of media files and usage by this "Wakelock media " is only 4% )...And another source from interent says that : Wake Lock can consume and installed apps who do a background work and stop cpu from sleep! Anyway i want to know more about this! Thanks to all.
Screenshot :

About Gsam on the htc ONE
System (*WakeLock*) in GSam is the standard Video Player...And I resolved my problem with battery,I disable more apps and now after 2 Discharges my battery in HTC One seems to be okay!Happy now .

[Q] Battery life... Issue~

Hey guys! About 5 days ago I got my self a new HTC one (Dev, unlocked)~
Info: I'm running the latest Trick-Droid Rom, with Juice Defender(Free: Says i'm getting 112% battery life from it), Greenify, and Nova launcher~ And my case can sometimes run a little hot, something like 1C too at most 3C above no case temps.
Right now i'm getting about 5 hours and 20 minutes of web-browsing time on my battery, and with all these "Optimizing" apps... And the high reviews of the HTC one's Battery, i'm wondering if might have an issue on my hands?
I know I have not given enough info for anyone to give a diagnosis, I just want to know if I need to start digging for leaks!

I'm not using any battery saving apps or anything like that, I'm all stock, I have everything on except finance stocks and stock weather, I do a lot of web browsing, texting, music and that's about it...a few calls here and there. You may just need to give it a few more charge cycles...I don't believe in all those battery "saving" apps or "optimizing" apps.
Get "wake lock detect" and "better battery stats" to determine what's going on.
And my battery life isn't as great as some people's here, but it's pretty awesome to me.

I spent about an hour testing stuff... I found a major drain in the form of SH (Shell) stuck in some run away process, after deleting Storage/Bin/SH 3 or 4 times it seems to have fixed it self~
I think I will best sending in the bug too *TrickDroid* to see if they can get it fixed.... Deleting the SH file has made some small issues pop up from time to time~

That's decent, 4-5 hours of screen time seems to be the average.
