turn power saver on. It does a great job on my battery life.

Like munz said, turn on power saver. I haven't noticed any performance issues with it on either. Also, turning off mobile data when you're in a place with wifi helps prolong the battery a bit. Keeping the screen brightness down, turning off haptic feedback, and limiting push notifications will all help as well.

Turn off Latitude and Location History if you don't use these. Turn off unused radios. Use auto brightness. Read the 34 page post regarding battery life. Turn off sync on accounts you don't need updated in real time. Use wifi when you can. There are certainly more things as well.

Please define "Battery Sucks". Otherwise, nobody can really help you. You might think a day and a half sucks.

So you want specific answers to the vaguest question possible, but don't want to read the threads where those answers would be? Without you being even a little specific, here's the best help you're going to get:

• Hard reset
• Turn off LTE
• Use WiFi always
• Turn down the screen brightness
• Only sync things manually
• Close all of your background processes
• Hard reset
• Install apps one at a time to see what's killing the battery
• Install a battery monitor and see what is using the highest percentage
• Return the phone because it may be defective
• Charge it more
• Get a battery pack
• Hard reset
• Invest in this: Mophie announces Juice Pack for the HTC One, on sale now for $99.95 | Android Central
• You must be a power user
• Get a RAZR Maxx

See, you need to be a little more specific if you need some help. How long is the battery actually lasting? What are you doing with the phone? What features are you using regularly? Do you have a battery monitor installed, and if so can you take a screenshot and post it here so we can see what's going on?

Oh no! 34 pages! I don't understand this generation.

Erm I use tunein radio, whatsapp, instagram, Facebook and twitter frequently daily but, like I said I work 10:30 hours a day so it's not like I'm on the phone 24/7...

I have advanced task killer installed but the annoying thing is, I kill an app and then go back to my phone in 20 mins later and those same damn apps are still running

I haven't found a baseline for expected battery use but I will say that on Monday I went to Comerica park for a Tigers game, took many pictures and zoes and still walked away with some 80% battery. None of the other phones I've owned have ever coped that well so all in all I'm pretty happy.
