Anyone switch from a Nexus 4 to an HTC One M8? I'm curious as to what the difference in battery life is and how long typically it will last longer.
HTC One (M8): Battery Life

My Verizon M8 only gave 10 hours batttey life the first day out of the box. I freaked. Battery usage showed the dialer with 39% power usage. When I checked settings I found the dialer set to GLOBAL instead of CDMA/LTE. After changing this setting battery life is great. Thanks Verizon for charging me a setup fee on a phone that I have to tweak.
Well screen on time usually is a huge factor on battery life.. So if someone uses less the battery may be good for them whereas someone who is on it a ton would say otherwise.

I have just received a software update 1.54.771.5 on my HTC One M8 this is on Three UK.
In the update says it has power saving up date, so am assuming this is finally the Extreme Power saving they talked about

Exactly, so personally from my perspective, when I see someone say that their battery last all day, but they barely use it (under 5 hours screen on time) it really doesn't show me that the battery is good.
I use anywhere between 2-5 hours screen on time on a day to day basis, depending on where I am, so to me a good battery is one that can last literally a whole day (24 hours) and maybe a couple more hours before it hits under 10%

Well I guess the battery test that used streaming videos is for you with that said this phone is getting 7hr in one test and 9hr web browsing time in another. So based on your requirements I would say this gets battery life

I can't comment on if it's improved over the m7 but I never had any problems with it, or the m8. So far the misconception that metal phones won't get good reception is disproved with the HTC One's

Re: Battery Life
Even with location reporting disabled I lose between 6 and 9 percent overnight (8 hours standby)
I've always liked the cell reception my m7 gets over what my Samsungs would get. Samsungs have awful radios.

. Battery life on this phone is crazy! I take it off the charger at 6 am, and by the time I get home at 6 pm I still have about 70 to 75 percent left. I would say I'm a moderate user. No heavy gaming or video watching during the day, just web browsing, checking email and snapping a few photos. Can't wait until we get the power saving mode update.

Just over 4.5 hours screen time I got 1 day/16 hours on one charge..crazy. That impresses me because my Rezound lasted about 8 hours with the same use and an extended battery. My M7 would last me about 18-20 hours.
This 801 chip is simply genius with battery consumption.

That's pretty close to what I'm getting, except less phone time and more screen & app time. I was 81% in 12h, 42m. I was thinking that I maybe had a bad battery, but I guess I'm just using it more than I thought. We turned off some of the Google location settings, my son said that's been a problem and should help the battery life. We'll see over the next few days.

Swapped out my HTC Rezound for the HTC One M8 on 2 Apr (contract end date) and took advantage of the BOGO offer. Fully charged my new HTC One M8 the night of the 2nd and removed it from the charger at 7:00 a.m. on the 3rd. As of the writing of this post, this first charge has kept it going. With 8% battery remaining, I literally JUST plugged it back in before typing this post. I'm calculating roughly 52.5 hours on the first full charge. I consider myself to be a moderate user (daily email, FB, Twitter, WWF, some YouTube, Web Browsing, Music Playing) and also have been flipping screen on and off A LOT to get a good feel of Kit Kat and Sense 6. This phone ROCKS! This is much better battery life than my Rezound had with the Extended Battery in it. Very happy with my new HTC One M8!!!

Not very much screen on time, your battery life will drastically change if you use it more. Not trying to discredit it as I have really good battery life, but it definitely doesn't last that long for me. I've got 31% left with about 13.5 hrs and a whole lot more screen on time
