[Q] Better battery life post 4.1.1 update?

It's only been 2 days since I updated to 4.1.1, but, knock on wood, I think I'm getting much better battery life! Can't give exact numbers yet, but at least the battery page on settings works for me now! :victory:

My Android OS battery percentage seems to be significantly higher than it was on ICS

Google Now eats up battery life. I'll be making a guide on how to maximize battery life seeing as no matter what I'm on (ICS, JB, or JB OTA) I still manage to push 8+ hours of screen on time with the setup I use. Also, disable fastdormancy if you're using a carrier that doesn't support it.

If you're rooted, get Titanium backup pro and freeze "orientation notifier", "modem fast dormancy...", and "modemstatservice". Under battery, these were labelled as "wakelock" and used about 25% of my battery

Rooted titanium backup with all bloat frozen including modem stat service and fast dormancy maxx battery. Now just think what a power skin would do with this thing and the maxx battery

Two hours of screen on time contributed to only 10% battery loss???
Did you just left it with screen on without touching it?
Can you post all the things you've frozen? I am on T-Mobile as well.

This is literally everything frozen
And I lose 20% per every 2 hours of screen time
On 4g. It varies day to day, depending on my location.

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

KitKat update = crappy battery ?

Mine is considerably worse now. I went into pizza hut tonight with 100% battery. We were in there like an hour and a half and when I checked my phone when leaving it was at 88%. It was in my pocket the entire time.
As I'm typing this I'm at 64% with 4hrs and 3 minutes of very light usage. 1 hr of screen on time...

These posts are just silly and unnecessary. The two of you above me? Our phones are setup completely different, with different apps, syncs, settings, etc.
How long has kitkat been out? Give it a few days. Posts like this pop up with EVERY single android update since android has been around.
My battery life is great - as always.

I have never had any issues with my phones having battery struggle and this is my 5th android phone. That is why I posted the question because it was very bizarre for me not to have great battery life. I was simply asking the question to see if anything has been said about an update or some type of fix other than the typical "battery saving" answers

Have you guys turned off wifi scanning always available? I know that obliterates my N5s battery.

Make sure Google Play Services is updated. Rumors were that there was a bug in the release version causing battery drain.

Give it a few days and then see. I never turn off WiFi or GPS

Something... Looks like "phone" in your screen shot, is keeping your phone awake for a crazy amount of time. Solve that and you're good again. Google it.

it's the NSA!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure the cause or a permanent solution. But if you see the battery dropping fast... Whether it's from "phone" or anything else.... A reboot should clear it up and you won't lose so much battery life.
That is, if you notice it dropping too fast. Sometimes you might not catch it till it's too late and you're running for a charger. Lol

Any mods?
It's pretty obvious some app is keeping your phone awake once you have solid mobile network signal. Time for you to find out what it is.

I have Gravity box installed. That's it. last night I charged it all the way up before I went to bed. I woke up with a 50℅ loss! This time it was the media server. Whatever that is......if I look on the wakelock detector there are 1000 little things but nothing stands out. Tonight I'll do the same thing but do a reboot before I lay it to rest.
What's weird is I only get this problem when the phone is not being used. If its of any relevance I leave the WiFi on all night. And have it set to turn off when the phone sleeps.

you should know the drill. start getting rid of apps to see if it improves. or, go reverse and start over, installing one app at a time. other posters above are right. you've got something else polling, that's causing the wake lock.

Seems like you could also just have some faulty hardware? e.g. a bad battery or charge sensor?

This is something fairly new. Unless it went belly up.....I still have more testing to do, which can take a while......since it only seems to be happening when I don't use my phone.

There is a bunch of apps to help you out
Usually i use this two
Wakelock detector
battery widget
Use those and paste a print here

Last night I left the WiFi on. Cleared all tabs in the recent and I lost only 28% .
Making progress. It was some app left running that kept it awake. Not sure what though.
Tonight I'll leave the WiFi off.

This 2% per 5 mins is when the phone is in standby mode ?
then there is some crap that is eating all your battery.
have a look at the battery usage and see what is using the battery most, in my case it's exchange service -- i cant do anything there because i use email app to get my office emails.
please reply with the app that is using most battery.

I don't think it'll matter.
Looks like your battery is dead. This phone is the most power-effective phone I owned since Motorola Defy+, it can hold any abuse and still has juice at the end of the day.

And then you've either installed some app that keeps your phone constantly awake, or killed the battery immediately by discharging it to 0. That's the only 2 explanations.
Right now I'm 17h on battery at 50% remaining, and screen as the top discharge reason with 32%. My father, who doesn't use the same phone extensively, routinely charges it once in 2 days. You should have screwed up something really bad to cause this phone not to hold charge.

Could be killed battery. This app won't do anything bad, I believe.
Might also be something reception-related, but I'm not sure if the reception is good/bad or if your carrier does/doesn't support fast dormancy and to what degree does it affect the phone.
