How is your HTC One battery performance

[dannyspeed]

I've had my HTC one for a week now and I'm not overly impressed with the battery performance. I've used it very heavily today from full charge from 11am and now at 2:15pm in at 27%. So far I've not been able to get a full day of of it. I've also noticed it gets hot under heavy usage.

I Normally have everything running apart from bluetooth and wifi when not in the house.

Be interesting to find out how you guys are getting on with yours..

I'm happy with mine don't usually need a charge before end of day unless hours of hd 3d gaming or if films through hdmi to tv, then it goes down, but I expect it too. Watching YouTube and browsing on WiFi I find it soldiers on for ages

Would a live video wallpaper effect the battery much.?

Depends on what apps you have running and what widgets are running on your phone. I noticed some apps/widgets were constantly active and draining battery. See what's using the most battery.

Yes some live wallpapers drain a lot of battery.

Also power saving mode do people keep this on, or just when the battery goes low?

Some people said google now drain your battery a lot.

 

[prissysox]

Most of my live wallpapers have only used 2% of the battery. That's not bad. I've not motives Google now draining the battery on One X, One X+ or Tf300

Wait.. you used 73% of your battery in 3 hours and 15 minutes? Did you have the screen brightness maxed while you streamed HD content over the cell network the whole time? I know you said that you used it very heavily, what exactly does heavy usage for you involve?

I'm just looking at the AnandTech review and while it looks like they didn't do any sort of HD video playback battery benchmark they did do these ones:

Time in hours

Web browsing battery life wifi: 7.8
Web browsing battery life cell: 5.62
Cell Talk Time: 14.07
Wifi HotSpot Battery Life (Constant cell usage, wifi usage and audio playback on device): 6.417

Agreed. We need a detailed definition of "using it very heavily."

Basically from 11am the phone was used heavily on the following...

Facebook including some checkins in different locations

Path for the same

Blink feed 3-4 times

YouTube (sd) over 3g for approx 10 minutes

Instagram 5 minutes

Phone calls for no more than 5 minutes

Internet browsing for no more than 15 minutes

GMaps while driving for 5 minutes

7 Photos, 3 zoe's and 1 panoramic pic.

Totally dead by 3:20 pm!

I had a 1080p live wallpaper running at all times using the app "video live wallpaper"

Last night I disabled the live wallpaper and disabled a few apps that I don't use in settings and some improvement. But saying that I took the phone off charge at around 10am and now at 3:16pm and I'm left with 8% but I would say I have used the phone heavier & for gaming today, shadowgun online for 20 minutes.

Is this about right?

I dunno, I think some of the battery tests are not realistic. Who surfs the web on a smartphone for 9 hours straight and does nothing else. I think most people, like the OP, use their smartphone for a variety of uses throughout the day and that's the true test. It varies by individual of course and I think that's why some people insist their HTC One lasts for two days and others run dry by 3pm. I like to stream radio, video, check Facebook, check email, open a few apps and often I'm plugging my iPhone 5 into a charger mid afternoon to be sure it lasts into the evening--yet that's supposed to be one of the better batteries. I expect to charge the One by mid day as well when I get it, but if its running out after two or three hours of my personal usage pattern--it's going back no matter how beautiful it is.

Gaming is a major drain on phone batteries.

Maybe a fault, I dont call that heavy useage, and mine lasts much longer than that with that sort of usage. A solid 3d gaming for 4 hours 20 mins is about a battery full.

You call that heavy usage?

HA!

that's light usage, and yes it's a problem with the phone

Live wallpapers have been proven to be terrible battery killers. That's why they aren't set by default by the manufacturers or carriers, and it's why battery tests aren't run with them active.

Also that 27% could be a misnomer if your battery controller hasn't been calibrated to where 0% actually is located for your battery. Let it run down completely, then charge it overnight and come back and complain if the battery indicator doesn't seem better.

From the looks of it I'm getting about 3.5 hours of screen time with a mixture of uses
