I have a sprint HTC one and according to Gsan battery monitor my screen on time and held awake time is very close to each other even though I didnt use the phone much.
can anyone help me? I just installed ds battery saver and my battery is still draining rapidly.
Did you install a custom kernel?
Get greenify for root from the playstore and hibernate everything you are not using
I'm not rooted.

Thats not enough of a sample time to judge that the screen on/awake time will stay the same ratio. Charge to full then restart and monitor until you have to charge again (at least a few hours). Maps and Facebook will be the usual culprits so you should look for any apps aside.

I recently installed Serendipity and made sure the battery was at 100% while doing so (and deleted the battery file). I'm waiting for the battery to drain before I plug it in. Am i supposed to let it charge all the way again? Also, is it safe to reboot the phone while it is draining the first time? I want to install something using clockwork.
I'm being careful about this because cognition would report 14% battery life after 33 minutes of display usage and display eating up 96% of my battery....

There's a complete thread on this, I suggest you look it up.
After you reset your battery stats, it is suggested to do a few full battery circle (use til dead, full charge, rince and repeat). You should be fine after 2-3 circles.
Note tho that it will not improve your battery life. All it does is a attempt to tell your phone what % your battery life is exactly.
For your fast drain, I don't think it has anything to do with your battery calibration or your ROM. It's most likely a app (or a few) that are draining alot of juice or that are running w/o realy being needed. (Check your running services.. make sure you know which one to stop and not to***)
Also using a app/widget like advanced task killer can help your battery life as it will stop every app running with a simple touch. I suggest doing it anything you're not using your phone.
One last thing, display eating 96% of your battery is normal.. it's not telling you it's using 96% of your battery. It's telling you that during the time your phone as been unplugged, your display use was your main action.. probably cause you didn't make many calls or anything else.. Display is just about everything you do with your phone so it will always have some high numbers like that.

Yeah, I've seen the thread before but forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me. And my point about the display was that it was on for such a short amount of time, yet still killing my battery.
I am now down to 30% or so after 3 hours or more of display time after calibration & rom switch- and I was streaming music through WiFi and using Bluetooth headphones. So it it seems like it made a huge difference =D
Thanks
I started to loos power realy fast, about 15% per hour in standby. I tried to restart and checked if i had any unwanted apps running, but nothing helped.
I then did a battery calibration as when i used Windows Mobile 6.5 on a HD2 (Leo).
1) Completly discharge the phone so it can't start.
2) Take the battery out for 1 minut +.
3) Plug the phone to the charger without starting the phone.
4) When the led light is green the battery i 100% charged, take the battery out for 1 minut +.
5) First then you can start the phone.
It helped for me, and now my battery consumption is abut 1% per 2 hour ;-)
Strange, but maybe usefull in the future.
With my phone the problems where apps running in the background.
Also programms I shutdown and restarted them selves. (Ea. in holland the app 9292!)

I am going to give that a try.. I love with phone and with temp root, life is fine.. the only problem is the battery as I have to charge it twice a day.. hopefully this method will solve the problem...

Thanks for it. Sure does work on my phone. Though not so much effect, but battery is lasting more than before.

Since I use advanced task manager (preferences - applications - auto end frequency - auto end running apps), my battery life is much better, it used 90% then and 45% now in approximately 12 hours. (3G on and same internet/mail/download use as before, maybe slightly more now)
Also WiFi is always on now, previously this was almost always off.
So I can use the phone twice as long as before.
Every hour this program shuts down all apps which are not used.(in my settings)
All programs start as fast as before and everything works just as good as before.
Good luck.

I found that after disabling notification of Facebook app as well as HTC Sense and Hub sync services, I can use my phone for 24 hours with a single charge which is very impressive to me.

True, but I use my phone especially for those things.
I use all the apps: facebook, Twitter, Droidin, three email accounts and then my battery after 12 hours still has more than 50%.

That would be great
I'm in your process now so let's hope it does the same for me!
I've got a doubt about battery discharging in my phone. When it normally discharges from 100 to 35% everything is in normal, with similar drops every hour for ex. 2 days. But (even in standby) when battery is on app 35% I see very fast drop to 25-20% in couple mins. At the beggining I thought it is maybe broken cell in battery but I notice that around camera surface is warm, not hot. So it is probably matter of software. What drains my battery so fast and always at app 35-30%? Do you have similar issues? I made factory wipe few charging cycles ago but it did not make any changes.
Do you use any of the power management settings like stamina more or....
What apps do you have installed?
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Yes, I always use stamina, I switched it off just before taking picture. I use dropbox, GO backup, Network Singal Info, netmonitor, Gmail and one additional mailbox. I have Google backup - off, Hangouty - logged off, google now - off.
Well, I don't use stamina mode anymore. I too had these sudden drops when stamina mode was on.
Try switching off stamina for a couple of cycles.
If you find that there are no drops, then you have your culprit.
So you mean not use stamina at all or switch it off at around app. 50%?
Try without stamina mode.

Get root access, charge to 100%,delete battery stats(or use battery calibration app),drain battery to 0%,charge again to 100%, now see if still the same problem...

I've tried once without stamina but I got visible faster discharging so now after update to 4.2.2 I am testing with stamina ON.

Deleting battery stats does nothing. I post this every time I see someone recommend it, but I feel that the point needs driving home until people realise that it is a placebo at best.

my opinion
Sorry, it will not improve your battery, just if you have wrong indicated battery %,it maybe solve that. I solved a problem like that.my battery went from 50% down to 18 in a cuple of min.after deleting the stats and a few charges it was O.

No. The batterystats.bin file has no relation to the percentage displayed in the notification bar. It is used to calculate the usage statistics displayed in the battery usage section of settings. Nothing more. The file is deleted every time the battery is fully or nearly fully charged anyway.
The G+ post I linked to was written by an Android framework engineer, so I think they know their stuff

Ok,maybe i'm wrong,but somehow my problem was solved
I am sure that I hadn't wrong percentages but period of strange drain battery (when % suddenly drops) because I felt warm temperature around camera. So I suspect any strange thread/wakelock/trigger.
Hi all! I have bought a HTC One last week. I am in love with my HTC One except one thing - not getting a good battery life. After 15 min facebook/whatsapp in wifi battery drops ~10%. I read in forums that it might be a battery calibration issue. How can I calibrate my battery in my unrooted phone?
Also in 100% charge DU Battery Saver registers a voltage above 4.2v, around 4.38v. Why?
I have the International m7 version
Let the phone completely die. Then charge it until the led turns green

Thanks for the suggestion, I am going to try that and update
Not a good idea, the battery last longer if it never runs flat and is only charged to about 85 >95%
there is NO benefit in trying to calibrate the battery
Try doing a factory reset and then re-adding your apps a few a a time leave for 24 hours at least before adding more, you will find that there is an app eating away the battery by constantly checking on the web for updates - facebook can do this but other are just as bad for it
You can change the update/sync frequency to allow for a better battery life
Life can also be affected by how many apps/how little memory is left/ how strong a signal, usage time screen is on and screen brightness
I expect you need to do a little reading around the forum for more tips tbo
Now I am confused! Anyway I already did that. I also did a factory reset and install only the apps that matter to me. Thank you!

I'd suggest you install something like Battery Stats Plus, and let that run for a while. I've found it useful for identifying battery drain in the past. It'll show you which applications are killing your battery, and you can decide what to do from there.
Random issue...
As soon as my handset reaches 14% (first low battery warning) the battery will die literally within 2 minutes...
I have watched the % drop like a rock...
Running uk ee .290 unrooted
I've run a battery health test and it comes back as good and doesn't need changing?!

charge it upto 100%
let it die (turn off when it hits 0%)
charge it again fully
and let it die again
this should force calibration
Xperia devices automatically my calibrate the battery, sometimes the kernel bugs and doesn't calibrate right
in realy rare cases you get a battery that says 100% but is realy actualy around 20% or less

check to see any apps is running in the setting, most likely should be Google related apps, such as Google+
My Z1 seems to lose the first 10% of a full 100% charge in about 1 hour with little to no use but after that its perfectly fine.
Battery life in general is very good. first phone ive had in about 6 years which can last me 48 hours without charge
EE UK as well
Sounds like a rogue app, remove anything you don't need, avoid adverts in apps, always do a full wipe when flashing a new rom regardless of base, get better battery stats and track down the rogue app, probably a wakelock.
Use greenify to shut apps up, autostarts is decent too.
Having a tonne of accounts on your phone and apps like viber and skype always logged in will munch the battery.
Switch off wireless controls when not in use and lower your brightness down to around half.
A few power cycles of the battery might help too, also don't overcharge, ever
reboot phone then open the service menu (*#*#service#*#*)
