I updated my HTC One 32GB US Unlocked edition from Android 4.1 to 4.3 using the OTA update on 27th Sept 2013.
I was more than happy to receive the update as it came along with UI improvements. But since then the battery % level has been really erratic.
I usually charge my phone when it comes down to 15% or so and unplug it till it gets completely charged to 100% with a Green LED notification.
Now as soon as I unplug the charger once I see the Green LED with 100% level the battery % falls to 98% instantly and then to 93% in the next couple of seconds and stays there. Then the phone discharges as expected after this according to my usage.
I have emailed HTC also, waiting for the response.
I don't understand this at all, is there anyone else who's facing this Battery issue as well ?

This is good - you don't want to be charging the battery constantly from 90-100%. The reason it (falsely) shows 100% instead of the real level is because people don't understand this and they will call and complain about their battery not charging to 100%.
I'm actually trying to find a way to set the target charge percentage to 85 or 75 unless otherwise specified. Most days, the phone lives on the charger most times, and is unplugged and used actively only when I'm not at home or work. This will help prolong the number of charge-discharge cycles and, more importantly, help maintain its capacity as near peak for as long as possible.
My phone is draining very fast after installing the 23.0.1.a.5.77 update, was so happy with the good battery life i had before. Now its like all the other smartphones i had in the past

Hi benjih!
I double that. Before update I had about 1 d 10h on a full battery charge without Stamina, etc. Since update full battery charge lasts for only 20-21 h. Seems like a significant drop.
Anybody else having the same issue after update to 23.0.1.a.5.77?
First charge cycle after updating didn't last as long as usual, but now back to normal. 50 hours on current charge with 4 hours screen on and 22% remaining.
Don't know why but when you flash your phone with new firmware or update the firmware the battery needs a few charges to stabilise.This is a known fact and happens in most cases that's why many people are stating bad battery life after a update but back to normal after a while relax guys.
Have had this since january 2015, and the battery only seemed to get better when Android 6 was released for the watch a year later. Suddenly, in April/May, the drain became significant higher, and I need recharging after 10-12 hours of use. No new apps, no different use from the night before. Factory reset did not help it.
Should I try to fix the battery, or is it something else I might try?
Is anyone else experiencing battery drain following the latest VZW update from last week?
I am, but just noticed it today, and it has been updated for a week I guess.
Didnt use the phone much and noticed at noon or so it was already at 47%, by 6pm it was down to 20%. This is a phone that has generally been in the 60%+ range when I go to bed(unplug 7am, plug back in around 11pm).
I don't think it's just the VZW.
I'm experiencing significant loss of battery after the last security update (Last week) on Telus here in Canada .
Before this, at this time of day, with "normal use" (for me) I would still be at 80%. I am now at 47%.
Hopefully fixed soon.
Any other reason(s) why this is suddenly happening?
So this started happening the past couple days, I left it on for around 3 hours, (it was at 49%) and after 3 hours it only increased by 5% I have the original charger that came with the phone, I then used a different charger and got slightly better results, it charged 10% in a half hour, but only when I turn the WiFi off, close all apps, and set the brightness to the lower. Could this be happening because of the latest security update? I have the august 5th patch installed right now.
Thanks in advance.
