I have a AT&T HTC One that I S-Off'd and was running as a stock Google Play Editon. Wanted to try CM 12.1 but my battery drain is insane. I'm running the most current nightly as of 11-19-2015 should i go back to the last snapshot so it's more stable and would this help my battery? Thanks in advance
Been using CM12.1 on my own int'l M7 *without inserting a SIM card*, and it still eats battery like a monster. It can only last at most 4 days on Airplane mode which is even higher than my N4 with WiFi and cellular enabled. Battery stats say that "Miscellaneous" takes up the most, so I can't pinpoint the reason either.
Also, it's been like this since I got the phone from my mate 2 months ago, so you might not find a nightly/snapshot that behaves better.

Hello,
I'm having a serious battery drainage don't know if this is normal but I lost like 7% in 15 minutes of Web browsing and this is my second HTC One. I first had 801e and then switched to 801n because of no LTE on the first one but the battery drainage is serious.
I am using power saving and juice defender, Android tweaker 2 is set to power saving profile. I have Android Revolution HD latest KK release and Elementalx kernel latest performance release too. But even before I flash the kernel the battery was dying real fast and I'd have to plug it like twice a day or whenever I can to make sure it doesn't die in few hours.
Please help!

Check out my thread and setup. I used to have the same issue

I've tried a few ROMs, including Albinoman's CM11 (4/24 official and a few nightlies) CM10.2 (the newest October official, I forget the date ). So here's my question: Out of all the JB+ ROMs out there, which ones have you had the best experience with, in regards to battery life? Right now I'm running Albinoman's CM10.2.
Also, any battery life tips would be appreciated. Currently, I am doing the following:
LCD brightness turned down
LCD off when not in use
Wifi/GPS off when not in use
Processor slightly underclocked
Unnecessary/unused apps removed/disabled/stopped
Haptic feedback off
In all honesty, I think my best battery life ROM has to be albinoman's CM 11.

That's weird. When I flashed the 5/18 nightly last time, I sucked my battery dry in no time. Which release date are you on?

I have to agree with Isaac. I'm running the 5/15 nightly and my battery life has almost doubled with BT and GPS turned on. I just turned BT off and set location to "battery save" so I'm hoping to squeeze even more out of it.
Don't get too excited about my doubled claim. Prior to CM11 I was running Paranoid Android (Jellybean I believe) as my daily driver and would get about 6 hours of battery life on standby. With CM 11 I get around 11 hours with light use, the Vivid is just abysmal when it comes to batteries.
Now that MMS is working the only complaint I have is with the in call mute feature not functioning, but I can live without that for now. I plan on running CM11 as my daily driver for the foreseeable future.

You're the second person that's said the 5/15 nightly has good battery life. I'll probably flash it Monday.

Ain't that the truth. I'm sporting a 3500mAH extended battery and I get like 12 hours with light use. Can't wait until I can afford to upgrade and put the Vivid on a permanent leash. Maybe make a media server out of it.
Well I stand corrected. I'm still running the Albinoman 5/15 nightly (loving it) and over the weekend I conditioned the battery by running it dead and then overcharging it while it was turned off. I now get 24 hours on light usage and about 10 hours on heavy usage. I had tried this process on other builds and versions but this is the first time it's actually worked. The battery I'm using is the battery that came with the phone. I'm amazed!

How does one overcharge it like that?

Don't unplug it or turn it on once the charge indicator turns from orange to green. Keep it plugged in and offline for another 2-3 hours.
Hi all,
I've recently flashed SkyDragon's GPE v4.0.1 for the HTC ONE M7. I'm running Elementalx 15.1 GPE kernel. My battery doesn't seem to last as long as the other Sense ROMs I've used, with mainly the screen draining most of the battery. The screen has been on for approximately 3h 20min. Attached is a screenshot of my battery usage. I wonder if there are any tips to extend the battery life, other kernels etc.

Darker screen. No matter what I do, I always get 3-4.5hrs screen time on sense. Use better battery stats or gsam battery monitor to accurately see if the device has a rogue wakelock.

I know you already answered his question but, I must ask what ROM and kernel are you running on your M7. 3-4.5hrs is crazy battery considering I usually get 2.5hrs of SOT. I used to run CM-based ROM and now I am switching to Sense based ROMs because of stories of incredible battery. Need a suggestion as to which one to use?
I know our usage of the phone is different and apps and wakelocks also matter but plz tell me the ROM and kernel.

Nusense with nukernel. I sometimes switch to viperone. Both do pretty well. I get closer to the 4.5 mark if screen is completely dim. If brightness is up it is closer to the 3 hr mark.

Have you tried out ARHD? I am currently running the 93.0 version and my stanby time is really great (12 hrs have passed and at 77%), I don't use my phone a lot especially in school (mostly listen to music) so this is so much better compared to CM based ROMs were after 12hrs I would be at 58%. Thanks for the tip I will try out Nusense I really like santods ROMs for the M7, I kinda just went for the most regarded sense ROM which is ARHD and besides Sense 7 is good but I am fine with Sense 6.

Nusense has sense 7 version. I haven't tried ARHD as it wasn't compatible with the Verizon variant for a long time.
I've been using it for a little over a day now and the batter life has not wowed me. I've seen better battery life on KitKat. That being said, this is not a final version, and a lot of the Google Services based apps aren't updated yet.
Please share your results of battery life time, and Screen On Time so the community can get a consensus of battery life running this new Developer Preview.
I have achieved just over 4 hours of SOT after my first days use.
Just my thoughts exactly.
Same here

It's horrible for me , dunno why . I've got only 2 apps installed , Tapatalk and another one . Miscellaneous is always on top :/ ...
Yea. I've been getting 5+ hours sot on KK. Not on Lollipop. November 3rd isn't too far away tho!
Hammerhead | L Developer Preview Final
Probably shouldn't whine around since it's a developer's preview but I agree with the above posts.. Battery life has been quite pathetic for me as well. Can't make it through a day on a single charge now.
Really missing ElementalX!
Back on kk due to heavy battery drain .. On first preview battery life was awesome .. Don't know what's wrong in the new preview . i hope the final build will be better
I highly doubt the final version will be any better. Less then a month away for final release. It takes a long time to find all those issues etc. It's going to be a work in progress for months.
The final version may be a bit better but I can't imagine 3 weeks is going to make a huge difference.
Absolutely fine for me, same as KitKat.
You guys are doing something wrong.

Apparently not... People who have wiped everything and installed only gmail/tapatalk are also experiencing huge drains even after a few battery cycles.
In my case, the phone sleeps just fine and goes to deep sleep without any wakelocks. However, when I start using it, battery drops down every few minutes and it doesn't even last a day. The overall drain is too much. May be few of my most used apps aren't fully compatible with Lollipop and hence the drain...

I believe the final version is ages ahead of this preview. IMHO they probably had to set up a more or less stable build for developers to test the final API, It doesn't mean the final version got much more changes.
They probably got the tech stuff done and released it for developers without caring of other changes, just technical to make sure apps would work...
Battery for me is being horrible too, got many batdrains but I think It will be improved on the final version.
At 65% battery now. Uptime 16 hours SoT 1 hour 44 min.
Lost 2% battery in 10 hours sleep this night while it was on wifi.
By the way this is the first battery cycle ever on this phone. Bought it yesterday, went home and flashed Lollipop right away then fully charged and started using it. So the usage has some app downloads etc.
The final version for Nexus 5 will not be in the 3/11.
Google will only update at that day the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10, Nexus 9. (hardware without LTE).
Nexus 5 will be update to Android 5.0 later of November. (like Nexus 6)
I have this preview version and I see that the gpu driver need some polish.
Personally I get the same battery life on Lollipop than on Kitkat. Maybe little better especially when screen off. I had the "miscellaneous bug" and my battery suffered a lot but I removed many apps (G+ ?) and the battery consumption of the "miscellaneous" things drops to only few percents.
part of the battery life drain is due to the much more aggressive on-demand settings

Same here.. mostly the same battery life..
Overnight drain is reduced - the graph is pretty much horizontal during that time. Once you start using it though it doesn't seem any different.
Only thing I have installed currently is the google apps (chrome, G+, gmail, maps).

Gday guys,
My GF and I are both using M7 phones and I set up the last available CM11 snapshot on her phone last week.
Unfortunately, her M7 now has really bad battery drainage and gets very hot even during browsing, using Pinterest, ...
There's hardly anything installed on the phone- I only installed Pinterest, latest GAPPs package and Opera so far. I tried running Greenify, disabling Google background services like NOW (etc..) and played around with the governor- no difference. The power stats show that the display uses the most power, followed by google play services (nothing out of the ordinary imho).
After a normal day of using our phones, my phone is at ~65% (also using an AOSP Rom), hers ist at 10%. Seems to me that the CPU runs at full blast most of the time and doesn't go to sleep properly.
Might another Kernel be worth a try or is the CM11 snapshot known to be causing issues with the M7 here?
Thanks in advance.
Your suspicion sounds correct try a different kernel. If not maybe try and flash cm again or a different rom. As far as the temperature though don't let it get too hot you can damage the rear camera. Best of luck to ya

Yeah, especially because we only just got the "pink camera" fixed on that device :silly:
Any recommendations for a CM11 kernel? Kangaroo seems discontinued, not sure if ElementalX works with CM.
Thanks

ElementalX is only for Sense and GPE roms like stated in the OP
