Problem with my htc one battery life, Please help - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello..
I have a problem with my htc one, every time when i charge it the battery goes down to 95%-90% in a minute and i'm not running anything, it's kinda weird only the android system is taking 98-100% of battery usage. the battery drains bad
i don't know what to do?
i want to know what does other htc one users see in the battery usage

This has been discussed to death, please search.
Basically, you need to charge for maybe another half an hour after it reaches 100% charged.

It's already dying, i don't know what's the problem and why it takes that much of the battery, is it a problem with my phone?
i tried charging it for 2 more hours and it went well but it still draining

It will drain of course, as all phones do. Search, and then search some more. Please.

I know it will drain but not like that i had it for 6 months now, and the system is taking to much of the battery, other phones OS doesn't take that much.
see the screenshot.

Everyone has a screenshot that looks like yours. It's normal. Just because it's high doesn't mean it's draining too fast. I don't even bother looking at mine. Much better readings from other apps on what causes battery drain. Looking at your screenshot isn't one of them, as you can already notice.

UNL3ASH3D Charging time

No disrespect to teh author of course, but has anyone noticed a major slowdown of charging in the UNL3ASH3D ROM?
The Charging is in the kernel... We can't play with that yet.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk
Ok, so i geuss im the crazy one...hahahahaha
thanks bro
make sure you charge from a wall charger, computer usb and car chargers charge slower.
This phone charges incredibly fast. Nothing to do with the ROM though as the creator stated. All Kernel.
kernel and all aside

I didnt notice it in 1.1 but in 1.2 my phone did "seem" to charge more slowly. Now on 1.3 it is back to super fast.I know it sounds crazy and impossible but I did notice... something.
I dunno guys, I love this ROM....but seems that the battery is depleting much faster and charging is slow.
I dunno if its mis-reporting the actual charge.
Any suggestions? Is there a way to reset the battery? I know in the bootstrap u can reset battery usage, I tried that last night, but I didn't see any change. I'm usign the extended battery and it seems to be depleting a little too fast....
Thanks in advance
Perhaps reset battery stat after a full charge?

I too have noticed not getting to 100% quickly but I think that has a lot to do with the 1% increments... B4 it probably said 100% when it was actually 96%
Just a thought...
Hey guys,
I tired he recalibration technique yesterday, but seems like it didnt work.
I'm using the extended battery....should I have done this on the smaller battery?
Yea. Battery seems to take a toll on this. Im on extended battery that use to last almost a day on debloated roms. But i like this rom so not gonna worry much. It still last me about an 8 hour shift with heavy/moderate use.
Beats the tbolt where from 6am to 12pm is hitting 40%
Ps. Ive done the battery wipe and the calibration app and discharge and charge and even charged it while its off.

Mine actually seems to charge faster on 1.3 than stock. Maybe we're all mad.

But seriously, I haven't noticed anything w/ slow battery charges...except when using the car charger/dock, but that was already commented about above.
Well, I did teh caibration technique, gettign abut 20% decrease every hour on standard battery...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&feature=search_result
Battery calibration app, deletes the battery files in one click. Root required.
Yeah I have that app....tried it.
But still getting 20% decrease every hour.
Before I flashed the rom, i did a nandroid backup of my stock setup. Do you think if i extracted my batterystat.bin from that backup, and put it on this one, I should be good to go? Will this even work?
No problems here.

Not getting good battery life on my ONE

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

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.

[Q] Ridiculous Battery Drain

Dear People of XDA,
I have this issue since a few days and I don't know how to solve it. My battery drains out after 10 min while using wifi and the phone will shut down of course. Leaving it for about an hours time, some power will be regained and I can continue using my device. It all started when I reverted back to stock ICS from cm 10.1. I thought flashing Carburano's ROM might help but apparently not, same problem. I know batterys don't always go nuts but when they do, it's progressive. Any one know what might be wrong?
Regards....

Use the better battery stats app and check which app running in the background is draining your battery without allowing the device going into sleep....
but if the drain is like what you have described....then it is time to move on to another battery....
just a word.....Kernel is something (other things being Baseband) which takes care of the battery performance....so maybe you can try changing this and check which one suits you well.
CHECK IN THE FORUM TO FIND INFO ABOUT APPS LIKE GREENIFY...
Hope this helps you

Thinking it like this: the phone probably can drain a fully charged battery in 10 minutes if you turn on every major component, like vibration, flash, display to 100%, gps, wifi, 3G and what else... But having just wifi on and getting a phone shutdown in 10 min seems excessive. This would suggest your battery is not charging properly. This can result from end-of-lifetime battery only charging to some 10-25% of original capacity, broken charger, battery self-discharge and probably some other reasons I could not think of right now.
The best solution, most likely, is to replace your battery (like SREEPRAJAY above already suggested), but if you like to troubleshoot you could try to charge your phone via USB to reduce the charging current (Li-ion batteries show a lower voltage during charging with lower charge current until 100% is reached). This way you may be able to charge to higher capacity. Also, it may hint that some kernel might work better for you, but I'm not sure about this, since I don't remember what part of Android (SW, charger HW or what) handles the charging logic, i.e. what triggers the charging actually to stop.
Thanks...I'll try the suggestions

well maybe your battery isn't so good anymore or you must try also other roms like jelly cream and those kind of roms and if you wanna know the rom slimbean and cm10.2 from tonyp are also pretty smooth and battery saving but cm10.2 is sadly not working camera still but further it's damm good
Hi I have experienced some issues with battery draining, when I check battery stats it says that most of the battery is drained from Android . media. Service... I have no idea how to work out or disable whatsoever is using those services.. Btw I'm on cm10.1 latest nightly

[Q] Terrible Battery Life?

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.

Battery Calibration issue

Could someone kindly point me to the area of know-how for an issue im having with my battery. After flashing many roms and restoring many backups, my phone is losing battery faster than ever without any services running. I have used a battery calibration app to assist in my issue but to no avail. It will drain very fast but lose ZERO percents over night and even gain 4 to 5 percent while the screen is off for extended time. THis led me to believe my battery is out of whack and needs some TLC pls help b0ss

Maybe no one has helped you because they don't know the answer. Look at the forums for this device, it's not very active. Most people have moved onto other devices. As far as I know, there is no way to calibrate the battery. Have you tested a different battery?

i thought this was a general request regarding batteries, not the device itself. Mod moved this thread here.. ive tried the apps, i also just deleted the batterystats.bin file and rebooted. Still hangs on 2 %. I did buy an offbrand battery that claimed to be 4200 MA but it wasnt. It was stock size and that battery was chill for the most part for a week then literally bit the dust. Wouldnt stay charged. It even weighed half the weight as my 2 year old original battery. So now im on the 2 year old one with this issue. Would you think it would be the battery itself making this happen? Or is it related to my software?

Oh I didn't know they moved it here, I thought you originally posted here. I'm not sure on S5, but on my old LG, after flashing a few roms the phone would act weird with battery life. I'm not sure about the specifics, but I think getting it back involved draining it to 0%, charging to 100%, then draining back to 0%, and repeating the process about 5 times. But that was a different phone, so I'm not sure. Have you disabled any background apps that may be running? I've disabled all touchwiz stuff I can think of so it won't run.
