    HTC One (M8): My battery life sucks what's wrong?

    Ok, this phone has the worst battery life I've ever experienced but I do love it overall. I actually blame Sprint more than i blame HTC. Anyway, i returned my first one after 1 week when I first got it b/c I thought the battery was defective, but now I realized that the previous one was probably...

    Cloud gallery hiding duplicate images

    Same problem here (on sprint). I don't think its eating a bunch of my battery in the background. The notification is only there in the morning and never shows back up again during the day. I never gave permission or setup a cloud for gallery to backup to. My guess is there's a job that runs...

    Re: Massive Battery Drain on HTC One M8 install GSAM and post your screenshots... I had a bad battery and swapped it for a new one that has been much better...

    Battery on new HTC One (M8) HK edition

    really? i dont have a regular M8 to compare, but I havent noticed - but then again 90% of the time i'm charging is while I'm sleeping, so i cant gauge how long it takes.

    Battery on new HTC One (M8) HK edition

    yeah, i tried doing a manual install last night and kept getting a "phone not connected" error - even though the sync app was showing my phone connected. Oh well, maybe I'll just take it to a sprint store - or wait for the lollipop update (which i just got on my Nexus 7)...

    Battery on new HTC One (M8) HK edition

    im still seeing posts in the sprint forums about this issue with responses as recent as yesterday... so i'll hold out. I do wonder why i havent received an OTA update even when i manually check via Settings > System Updates

    Battery on new HTC One (M8) HK edition

    i was just about to do a manual install of 4.4.4 but then i googled it and read a bunch of drama about some bloatware (ITSON) that is eating ppl's batteries since the 4.4.4 update. I have a suspicion that Sprint has stopped OTA updates until this is resolved... meanwhile, i'll wait...

    Battery on new HTC One (M8) HK edition

    ok - so i swapped phones and the new one is definitely better. I'm not 100% impressed with the battery life but i can live with this. I had moderate to heavy use yesterday (the majority of which was surfing the web). Those that are getting significant battery life I'll chalk up to having really...

    Battery on new HTC One (M8) HK edition

    Yeah tried clearing cache as well. Just pulled it off the charger after a reset and its burned 3% of the battery in less than 10 minutes with me checking email and reading this forum! This is not looking good.

    Also, my battery / phone gets really hot.. Just checked GSAM and it shows 105.. Is that normal?

    Battery on new HTC One (M8) HK edition

    Agree - Lookout doesnt usually eat that much battery - i must've just installed something and caused it to do some scanning... anyway, here's my complete day - seems like everyone else is getting more than my pathetic 3-4 hrs of screen time. what do y'all think? Going to reset tonight...

    Battery on new HTC One (M8) HK edition

    So, I've had my phone for 5 days and the battery life is really disappointing - worse than my 2 yr old S3... I'm thinking of taking it back to target and swapping it out for another... It basically burns about 4.5% an hour with light usage. I have power saving on (dimming the auto brightness...
