What am I doing wrong with this battery on the HTC 10?

[marysuzannechild]

Good. night. everyone

I use power saver throughout the work day, and keep my brightness all the way down (I keep it this dim when I'm indoors, and crank it up when i go outside). This screen is pretty bright, my eyes adjusted to having it on the lowest brightness setting. I close all my background apps before I lock my phone. I never have data or Wi-Fi on when I'm not using my phone. I keep Wi-Fi on when my phone is charging. Today was the first time my phone dropped to 40% after my work day, but I used it all day today doing Wi-Fi analyzer, using my phone as a monitor to tweak IP cameras (had weak signal as well because it was a stone house, so that strained the battery) and multiple phone calls to my Co workers. Also took many work photos and uploaded them to dropbox today.
Usually my phone is at 70% at the end of the work day

Do you manage all of this manually?

It shouldn't do that with doze. That sounds like a wake lock problem.

Mine uses 10 percent for about 7 hours of screen off sleep time...

 

[radiogirl83]

Doze should be keeping drain down to 1% or less per hour overnight.

More like 10% here...

 

[radiogirl83]

When you do, make sure you unplug it at 100% and run it so we all have a baseline. It throws people off if your numbers are based off of unplugging at 80 or 90%, though with the QC3.0 charger, hitting 100% happens pretty quick.

These are after the first week with the phone

These are after longer amounts of idle times

and this one is after 2 and a half days of light use

I'd say you have to break in the battery first and have Doze do its learning. Took me a week before I was getting results like these, which are pretty good imo.

I lose only about 1-4% per night. How long have you had your phone?

 

[radiogirl83]

Well, here are my screenshots for the battery doctors Charged until 100% and then unplugged and went to bed. Read a little, then went to sleep. Lost 10% overnight. Then went about my day and was at 16% by 1.30PM. Far from two day battery life, huh Not even 16 hours with almost half sleeping...

Aha! Thx for those. I unboxed it on Monday morning, so this is day 4 going into 5

I have good amounts of screen on time. I have the unlocked directly from htc

 

[popartist]

The drain only does that in the night but in the day time it does quite fine

Agree with thejesse, should only be losing 1% give or take a fraction. I forgot to put my phone on the charger last night and from 10PM until I noticed this morning at 7AM, battery had lost less than 1%.

I will suggest you to Try these tips to extend your handset's battery life:

See what's sucking the most juice. ...

Reduce email, Twitter, and Facebook polling. ...

Turn unnecessary hardware radios off. ...

Use the extra power saving mode if you have it. ...
T
rim apps running in the background. ...

Dump unnecessary home screen widgets and live wallpaper.

Something to keep in mind is a new battery needs time to settle in. The OP should see some increased battery life probably either today or tomorrow. When I had my M8 (that had a Lithium Polymer battery) it took longer to settle in. A full 7 days.

Hm your wifi signal seems really low -- I wonder if that may be a cause. Maybe it is powreing up more to keep that signal going. It looks like your cell signal is okay (what does it show under about phone > status for the signal in -dBm?)

Are you using the unlocked model on T-Mobile by any chance?

If so, you are not alone. Something's up there. Should be addressed soon (I hope)

Nice, a reply from my favorite on the podcast
Nope, unlocked European version... So far still struggling to get through the day... (Read: I'm charging at 2 PM)

Thanks! That's very kind

To satisfy my own curiosity (I'm doing some detective work), Which carrier are you using? I'd like to look at their LTE bands and their frequency.

Those are quite a bit of wakelocks...

Using Mobistar (rebranded to Orange) this month with a 4G subscription. Other networks in my country are Base and Proximus. (So you can rule those out)
