Finally made some progress. Disabled Location Reporting and Location History. Went to bed at 100%. Got up at 94%. Much better. It's held up well during the day today too.
First full day

50% screen time with 12 hours looks pretty darn good to me. I'm getting over 24 hours because my phone is on standby most of the day. (2.1%/hr average with my light usage)
Didn't I previously stated something along the lines of Android sucks in standby while ios doesn't? That seems to be the major difference. I have a Nexus 7, galaxy s3 and a ipad, two of the three mentioned devices suck in standby, and I'm sure both have larger batteries than my Air, especially my phone with its 7000mah extended battery.
What are people not charging their phone while they sleep? The way phones are now if you wake up and pull your phone off the charger you should go all day till you go to bed again.

Thanks for the tip about Blinkfeed. I'll disable it too. Don't use it anyway
I've had my M8 for a few weeks now. I have a power manager to turn of the radios when they aren't in use, I disabled BlinkFeed, I use a control bar to turn off the data connection since I'm almost always on WiFi, and I disabled apps like NFL that I'll never use. I have the screen dim as well, yet the battery still drops 10-15% soon after taking it off the charger and web browsing or checking email (morning routine). I kill apps when I leave them, and I have a strong signal, although that shouldn't deplete a battery much anyhow. What am I missing? I heard Chrome is an issue on this phone. I just got the firmware update that should have fixed the camera drain bug. I have the power sleep mode turned on, no others available on Verizon version. *oh, I always have location disabled as well. I maybe enable it once a day for a few minutes to sync the weather on my Pebble. BTW, could that be the big drain...Pebble Watch?
When you guys talk about battery cycles does this mean running the device to zero? It's my second full day and I know it's early but I'm not seeing amazing battery life and I've good signal. Just would be interested to know as I'm currently topping up the battery and not letting it drop.

No don't run it down to zero. The general consensus on newer batteries is to top off early and often. Running down too low is considered bad for these batteries.
Okay great. Thanks for the reply, but then what are people referring to when they say "cycles" exactly?

Hi, I am new to forum and my first posting.. I just share my battery usage..I bought my M8 on last Friday.. I don't know whether my bettery going gud or okay..usually I charge my phone at 9pm and it will be fully charged by 12am midnight, then I take off from charging and leave it. When I saw it in morning by 8am will be arounf 85%. Then after whole day use (Whatsapp, candy crush, viber, some calls ,FB etc) not full time use just moderate. it will be around 10% at 8 o clock. Screen time will be around 4hours avg. I think, battery is not up to gud level like others.
GSAM saying:
Average per Complete Charge
Battery Life: 19h 7m (7h om active)
Screen on: 5h 3m(4h 39m max)
Please give me comment or suggestion whether it is working as it is or not
Thanks in advance
