Battery life after 1.31 firmware flash s-off user - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I flashed the 1.31 firmware for s-off to upgrade the radio and my battery life now drops faster than it did before the change in firmware. I tried both custom roms and stock roms on 1.29 and 1.31 with both stock or modified kernels and it doesn't seem to change(some break camera or volume to wake or something else) Battery drops faster after firmware flash.
I'm still on Hboot 1.44 with s-off and just ruu'ed back to stock 1.29.651 installed the custom rom I was on prior to the firmware 1.31 and battery still drops faster than before the firmware update.
I was previously going 7am to 7pm and would have 75% battery. Now I'm at less than 25%. My usage during the day has not changed and my setup is back to the same.
Has anyone else experienced battery life that is worse than before the 1.31 update.

Load up better battery stats and see if anything is abnormal

i'm running team nocturnals black sheep rom based on the new firmware, and getting great battery life.
i also flashed the s-off firmware update

I am losing about 5% every 25mins which means I'll get about 8hrs total on a charge.
Using better battery stats I'll have to run 4hrs minimum, but a good day or two is best to check stats.
Nothing is looking abnormal after 25min except what I think is a higher than normal drain.

I'm still havnt updated the firmware but I usually only get about 3 hrs of screen time before it's dying

you've got a rouge app or something sucking battery unless you live in a low signal area.

So after checking the battery apps it appears my screen on and xda via tapatalk is using most of the battery consumption.
Also there is one area in my office that flips from 4g lte to 3g depending on what side of the building I'm on. This causes lots of radio activity switches as 4g ltd is new to the area. Finally some LTE, but the switching is killing the battery.

Battery charges as fast as it drains??

Im on serendipity 5.10 and I flashed speedmod k13b using odin and k13c using sgs kernel flasher. I notice battery drains 1% every 10 min and charges up at the same rate. This did not happen when I originally flashed the first time (serene 5.10).

I will actually test it a couple days then I'll see.

6% an hour does not sound to bad for me ^^ but i highly doubt that it takes over 10hours to charge your phone

How are you gets getting such high battery life?
I went back to speedmod k13a cuz it seems to have better battery. From what I read, the kernel needs time to adjust after some flashes so let it charge/drain a couple days and it'll be better. I did that and i seem to have better battery.
Edit: not significant though. I'll test it more.

Is this idle drain?
all depends on your use and rom. I get about 1-2% drain per hour idle using whats in my sig along with juiceDefender to turn off data (cell and wifi) when not in use.

[Q] Battery Life on ICS

is anyone else having bad battery life once they updated to stock (.56) ICS?
to me I'm getting anywhere between 2-3 hours less life out of my phone and i have larger (1800mAh) batteries.
i even take the batteries out every now and then and charge them on a wall battery charger that came with the batteries.
i have taken more measures to get better battery life and it appears that there is nothing i can do
i would get better battery life on HoliRaider with 1.6GHz OC!!!

Have you tried wiping battery stats? And doing a full battery calibration? If that even applies to this device I know it worked on my skyrocket.

It's been proven that wiping the stats doesn't do much. The skyrocket imo has better battery life than the vivid and runs on a higher mah batt.

I've tried just about everything, auto-sync off, brightness all the way down, wifi on /off, etc etc, it seems like the only way to have decent battery life is to keep data off all the time
one feature that i do miss from GB is you had the option of having "on demand data"..
however i do wish that at&t would go ahead and give us the option of having an LTE on/off switch.... yes i live in one of the cities blessed with LTE but it really takes a tole on your battery even when its in your pocket not being used

[Q] How to FULLY reset phone?

I notice now when when I factory reset my phone, it doesn't fully restore to factory default settings. Some of my carrier apps are already preinstalled right after I factory reset.
In the past, when I do a factory reset, I will receive a personalisation update which after that will install the carrier apps.
I believe this is what is causing a huge battery drain on my phone with high android system usage.
Anyway, if needed
I tried resetting on both within the os and through bootloader.
I'm on full stock 4.2.2 and have not tampered with any modification.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Whats the problem with that?
I think its normal that your carrier apps are already being installed after doing a factory reset.
Can you probably explain your problem with a bit more details?
If you have carrier-branded phone then they are built into the ROM itself so a factory reset will still include them
The issue I'm having is, I have High battery usage by Android system. I thought a factory reset could solve this issue. But right after I have done the reset, Android system starts having high battery consumption even before I sign in to any services.
Right after I updated to 4.2.2, I get around 3-5% of Android system usage in the stock battery usage details, and around 30-40% of idle times. Battery drain around 1% overnight. This continued for a few day.
But now, Android system usage contributes around 50-80% of battery usage and I have only ~5% of idle times. And battery drained 7% overnight.
I thought it was something I have downloaded that caused the issue so I did a factory reset, but the problem persists even before I downloaded or updated any apps. So I'm wondering if there are still some old cache remaining after the reset.
Here are my screen shots from GSAMbattery

But anyway, why are there some people who dont get as much Android system usage as me. I don't understand, I used to not have it as my main cause of battery consumption too.

You are stock unrooted, like me. That's why.
Same usage. Get a custom kernel, should go to like 5%.

Try flashing a non-carrier branded RUU. To do this, you might need to "trick" the android info.txt file in it to accept your MID and CID. It depends on which MID and CID you have. There are threads around that show you how to do this. The only possible downside to this is you might not get your carrier specific OTA's, but it sounds like you're having issues with those anyway. A lot of bloatware (carrier apps) can really drain sometimes. I hope this helps.

Input the specs you need, and the RUU should come up. Your Hboot shouldn't matter. It might be a little smoother process if you were s-off, but since you've already crossed that bridge, you just have to make do (or re-flash hboot 1.44). Hope this helps.
Thanks I will try

You have 2.25/22.5 screen/standby.
With 33% left.
That's awesome. Don't know what you are complaining about unless you are running a custom kernel.
I got 3.75/12.75.

I'm assuming you're asking me how do I see those numbers...
I'm probably wrong.
There's the 22 and change up there in the top left.
There's the 2 and change in the center.
If you're asking me why I think you are getting better battery life than I am, then I would say it is because your phone has excellent standby, and anybody using there phone continuously can get cool screen in times. It takes more to get that and good standby.

MAJOR Battery problem!

I have recently bought a HTC One and the battery is behaving very poorly. My screen brightness is set to around 25% and I only have location services and Auto-Sync on and I can't even go half a day with this thing. I have tried running all kinds of different ROMs to see if that changes anything but it doesn't.Side note it was bought from Swappa if that changes anything.

Look at the first screen shot, warning signs already. Your screen was only on for 30 minutes and yet your phone was AWAKE for almost 5 hours. I see your using 3g data but your Wifi has been on for almost 6 hours. Also your phone radio is using up quite a bit of juice which I assume is because your signal isn't great. Biggest recommendation right now, turn off the location stuff, they are battery hogs. You should also download betterbatterystats which breaks down all the things keeping your phone awake
I also can propose to you to turn off the wi fi ... For me it eats my battery more than the 3G signal.

Even with low signal, this a very odd behavior. The battery is draining too fast.
Try downloading CPU-Z and check the active processor cores and sensor operation. You might have a defective unit.
Good luck.

Turning of WiFi has no difference in battery as well as turning off Mobile Network completely. I do think I have a defective unit though, but I have bought this off of Swappa and don't know where to start.

As Galactus said, get betterbatterystats to check your wakelocks.. A "Held Awake" time of almost 10x as much as screen on is no good!

Try the new ViperONE rom 3.1.0 it has much better battery performance, i had issues with battery too, but after flashing with this rom , it's much much better battery life.
I'm using Android Revoloution atm but I haven't tried viper yet, will probably try tonight.

In BBS you need to show us your partial wake locks and personally I find most roms to be the same regarding battery life. I don't think the device is defective, something whether its a rogue app or a messed up file is keeping the phone on when you have your screen off

Battery life with kit Kat update, better sleep, worse when using phone

So here's what I noticed. With kit Kat stock, or stock based rooms, the battery life seems really good while not using phone. It goes in to really deep sleep and sips on juice.
Whole using it, for example Clash of Clans, it literally sucks like there no tomorrow.
I see small difference between email or xda or other not graphic intensive apps.
Anyone else having noticible worse battery life vs 12a?
My friend who has the same phone said the same. Before update he never needed to charge during the day. Now he had to connect it to car charger mid day.
