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

Why is my android system using this much power? Anyone else have that broblem? My phone was recharged before I took the screenshot. Battery did run out on 12h with 3h 10min screen on.

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.

What apps do you have installed and what settings have you changed?

How does one take a screen shot on stock rom?

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

REALLY bad battery life, is this normal?

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!

I have found my battery improved after about a week of having my phone.

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.

before you start combating symptoms, you should first try to diagnose the disease, so you can combat the underlying disease, follow my first post

I have to agree, my battery life is pretty poor. I'm going to give it a week and hopefully it clears itself out.

You should allow more time, at least 2 or 3 updates, to iron out the biggest bugs. All manufacturers need that time, apple en Samsung too.

[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~

Is this okay? Or is the performance low?

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

My battery life got really bad with 4.4.2

I've been running for about 10 hours now, usually my battery life is around 60-70% at this point, but I installed 4.4.2 yesterday.
I'm sitting at 31% with only 40 minutes of screen on time...
Hopefully we get a 4.4.3 soon to fix this.

Yep seems like it.

same here, after updating to 4.2.1 and even 4.2.2 my battery life is worse. I used to be able to go 2 days with out charging and now my battery is down to 68% with only 43% on screen time and 6 hours off charger and nothing has changed at all with my apps. and my device DOES go into deep sleep properly. I have no idea what the hell is draining battery, man stock 4.4 was freaking awesome on battery life for me

Agreed. Battery seems to drain quicker on 4.4.2 then 4.4.1.

Chaos kernel will resolve your battery issues.

I'm really not seeing much of a negitive difference; I'm at 10h 33m and have 47% with my normal use. Emails, 43 minutes chatting, surfing all through the day and sms.

Nothing wrong here. Seems even better for me

Part of it might be the increased vibration strength and speaker volume. More power is being used for every day tasks such as using buttons.
I've been noticing higher battery numbers for the Google keyboard since the update.

I've killed Google Now as it was destroying my battery after the 4.4.2 update... screen is still the biggest killer of my battery though...

I went back to Nova Launcher immediately... no constantly active Google Now listening.
I've got 52% at 13h 23min on battery.
That's the *only* thing I've done after updating to the 4.4.2 OTA. No root, no mods.
Edit: Oh yeah, and I've got Lux installed for brightness control. Screen's a little dimmer than usual overall because holy COW I don't need it so bright all the time. Screen is still the biggest battery eater.

I noticed more battery drain immediately after installing the first update and it's the same on the most recent one, 4.4 had incredible battery life.

Noticed same thing here. Same usage pattern and same apps as with 4.4 but battery life almost exactly 1/2 what it was. I'm hoping this will improve after a couple of charging cycles.

[Q] Xperia T CPU temperature

Can anyone let me know the below temperatures for Xperia T CPU running stock rom is ok or not ok?
idle : upto 36C ish
on slight use : above 40C
on longer usage of basic apps such as whatsapp, viber, facebook: between 40 to 50C
browser: around 55C (browsing xda took it over 60C)

repost

CPU temperature is not so important, it will always be that "hot" while being on use. Battery temperature is the thing that should be important to you.
I think these values are ok, as long as your phone does not shutdown unexpectedely (with the aproppriate "Shutting down" mesaage box) - that usualy means that the temperature of both CPU and the battery is way too high and any other operations may result in their permanent damage. If you don't experience such situations then I think you shouldn't be worried about anything
Anyway I have to tell you that IMHO this phone has, in fact, some "problems" with overheating or at least with pretty high temperature than it should be normally. But I don't care, after two years of really heavy usage - it still works and it never disappointed me, I hope you won't be too

Thermal throttling will start at around 65-70C, at 80 the phone will shutdown.
These functions are hard coded in kernel, so dont worry.

Battery temperature hasn't gone beyond 40C if I remember. Only started to monitor recently. I've been using this just over two years too and never felt any heat when using it for normal usage on 4.0 and 4.1 stock roms.
Only felt it on 4.3 and downgrading after trying 4.3 uk rom 2nd time, even 4.1 now produces noticeable heat which is what's bugging me. Really regret for upgrading to 4.3 for a 2nd time :'(
The initial downgrade was done through SEUS as 4.3 wasn't released for UK then and had the blue triangle icon on some bootups but no other issue or heat.
Which rom do you use now on your device?

40C is really low value for the battery. Trust me, you really shouldn't be worried about the temperature
I was using the newest build of OmniROM until yesterday. I flashed the newest release of CM11 and I'm not disappointed.

ok, thanks. I am trying the Omega v2 rom since yesterday, but it seems to make it much warmer so might head back to 4.1

What helped me on my Xperia V is rooting, downloading No-Frills Cpu Controp and changing governor to ondemand (it was interactive by default).

I've been using a TPU gel case since I bought the phone... and never felt any heat (apart from when trying out 4.3 but yet less than present level of heat). So seems it took 2 years for the phone to start this 'heating up' mode. I am trying to understand if it is a software issue or something to do with hardware.

Even I have rooted and disabled almost all the bloatware including some google apps (actually removed them from the system/app folder itself). This was how it was prior to 4.3 testing and had no issues. Only heated slightly for a YouTube video or so. Removed the same list of items this time around as well, but for even apps like whatsapp it heats..so something is definitely wrong... it remains cool on idle, hence not a background service that causes it.

wondering if there is some clash in the internal memory area.. (which happened when using flashtool to downgrade... from 4.3 this time). Before used SUS as 4.3 wasn't released for UK and it repaired to 4.1

When i play CoC with data mobile the temperature become very high...this can damage any hardware components?
Because i changed the battery two times for random reboots and i think that some components are broken
