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!!!
15hr battery life is pretty good

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

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.

There's really no need to buy a new battery since the stock one is really good. Lasts me a full day in one single charge. Unless you're the type that CONSTANTLY uses the phone, then yeah. You will need a new battery.
But otherwise, check out the link on my signature!

I installed it yesterday and it seems battery last longer (maybe placebo effect), still I set beginner mode (as noob does) and wonder whether it's enough?
Should I stay with the mode or go advanced and try to do the settings manually? Will it prolong battery?
Hi, I have had this phone for almost a week now and have noticed that battery life for me is shocking. I JUSSST about manage to get through a day and some days have to charge the phone a little half way through the day to make it last the extra mile. After the first few days of heavy usage I went back to my regular usage pattern but still the battery hasnt been good. I have posted many screenshots and posts in the 'battery life' & 'battery stats thread' in the ONE General section so check em out. I downloaded GSam battery monitor and found out that my phone has many wakelocks from 'wakelock mediaserver'...at one point I had almost 900 wakelocks from it :/ I tried everything to fix this but couldnt. Plus the phone in general would lose 1% battery every 50 seconds to a minute. I had to resort to a factory reset in the hope that it would fix the issue but that wasnt the case. At first the mediaserver wakelock was nowhere in sight and battery drain was ok compared to before, but then again its back to draining insanely fast and the mediaserver wakelocks are back. Anyone else have this problem? Or anyone else finding that their battery is draining quick?! Because if this persists then im gonna take it back to p4u later in the month and get a new one. Just want to know if this is only happening to me and if anyone has any solutions. Thanks

I'll be honest I didn't have hope for the one and it's battery. I got this one a week ago. It's on it's 5th charge. That's good! Are you a heavy user?

Well I think I'm a medium to heavy user. But most other people, especially reviewers who probably used the phone heavily are easily getting over a day of use.

If you loose power so quickly on new phone you have two options - battery not good or you have too many things going on!!! I will bet it is the second option! Under too many consider all processes you have running on the device.... less job for processor(S), more battery live! All phones come with a lot of crap installed form the vendor(map, wheather, location services, etc...) I will recommend to kill(dissable/enable) all processes you do not need!!! Make a test, but get all important staff out of the phone, so you may need to factory reset if you kill something important. Do not worry, with fact. reset will be like new..... and all the crap already started So good luck
Found this in another device forum, but it could (possibly) help you with your wakelock problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1717237
I've never had the mediaserver wakelock (nor do I have the One yet), so don't know how well this will work. I suppose it's worth a try. If not, you might try Googling the mediaserver wakelock problem to try some other solutions. Seems to be a relatively common problem.
I'm guessing you're a heavy user!
What apps to you have installed? how many apps to you have?
My phone lasted 1 day and 9hrs on one charge with moderate internet use, txt messaging, phone calls - and that was without power saving mode enabled.

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, I have had my HTC One for a good while now, and I have been hopping between roms to try and find my favourite. I have just switched from GPe to InsertCoin. I have been getting what I think is very bad battery life on every rom I've tried (stock, GPe and InsertCoin) that I can't explain. Is this a software issue or is there something else happening here?

Indeed it seems a terrible battery life, but I bet you didn't let the ROM settle. If you continously change ROMs you'll get bad battery life, you should keep the ROM for at least 3-4 battery cycles to get an idea of battery life. Another suggestion I could give you is charge it while turned off, sometimes the phone shows it's full, but actually it isn't. Leave it till the light turns green, turn it on and than another half an hour

Yes I understand what you mean about letting it settle, and I probably should have mentioned that I have had bad battery life while staying on GPe for several months. I saw the same thing I don't understand: Android System using about 80-90% of battery in the battery usage even though I was using the phone and there seemed to be no long wakelocks...

how can you change your battery?
though you can update your firmware to the latest
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
Every once in awhile I notice unusually big battery drain. it is almost always one app or another, not very easy to spot, it takes some amount of trial and error. my flow is:
have BBS at the ready, ideally your phone rooted and ensure BBS has root permissions. measure battery consumption at night, during the day for at least several hours. check the culprit app in all tabs, sometimes BBS doesn't seem to get access to all wakes for instance I could only find the trace of the drain source under network usage. usual battery drainers are google location based apps but I've also seen a system file Explorer that would gain access to network too frequently while in background. hibernate or freeze/disable those apps as you see fit, rinse and repeat. regardless of the rom I get in the end approximately 0.3%/hr of batt drain at night, 0.7%/hr during day while phone is in standby. I keep in background llama, accuweather, Tapatalk, mail, Dropbox, textra and a couple system apps. I use greenify to hibernate user and system apps alike. I only turn on location when I do need maps.
hope that helps.
