HTC One Battery Life/Stats Discussion

[Ryo Saeba1]

There's no need to report any of this BS about your phone being off the charger. All you need to report is your screen on time. This is the only thing that mattets because this is when you are actually using your phone. My Nexus 4 can get crazy "on battery" times like 1day+ but always only averages 3 hours screen on time.

Screen time was an hour n 3 min. I had about 50% battery left. I usually have about 4 hours on screen time. With 17 hours battery life

Just learned the hard way how much GPS takes a toll on ur battery! Battery was draining much quicker with it on. No need for it, Google Maps is pretty accurate even without it on.

Settings > Location > GPS satellites

Does this say good battery life with stats like this? opinions are welcome!

The screen seems to drain it quickly...Auto brightness is turned off and its only on with about 25% or so. Any thoughts?

I can verify that. I get about that on average use with push emails all day, Internet use, movie trailers, texting, etc. I'm very satisfied with battery life. Biggest recommendation is use the power save option. It really does work and I've noticed no slowdown.

This is my recent battery life...

I am not happy with HTC one Battery life. You guys look to have way more battery life then me? Or do i just use my phone to much?

This phone is capable of around 7 hours screen on time at its best - use that to gauge your performance. Anything over 6 is great. If you're getting under 5 hours screen on time, there's something going to drain your battery.

Do you have any tips for me to improve my battery? I think it is draining really fast. Thanks!

you've got to share some settings for those kinds of screen times. i'd love to be able to get that kind of mileage, but i don't come close. while the battery life is definitely more than adequate for me, i don't get near that kind of screen time.

Try batteryguru. It's about as simple as it can get and gets the job done.

Couple of different things... Here we go:

-Snapdragon Battery Guru. Set all apps to "Refresh only when used". Turn on the data off when screen off option. Wifi management is optional imo, don't know what kinda effect that has.
-Alternatively, you could turn on power saving mode. CPU only. You CAN NOT use this and Guru at the same time, fyi
-Auto brightness on all the time. You could download an app like Lux, setting the autobrightness a little lower than stock and going with that for even more savings. But I find that stock auto is smoother
-GPS off
-Only the network location enabled
-Sync off
-Watch apps in general, make sure nothing obnoxious is constantly running/refreshing
-Haptic feedback off
-Disable any bloat via app manager
-Download an app like Wake Lock Detector to see if anything is causing wakelocks and deal with it. Facebook messenger is a big culprit, for example. I uninstalled that.

That should do it for most. 7 hours screen on time is definitely possible, perhaps pushing 8. Should be easy to get 6+.

You kidding? I get 10% drain per hour no matter what I do. Sometimes almost 15% drain per hour. I've only had my One for about 6 days, but on time for my "heavy" usage is 4 hours tops. For light usage with long periods of activity, I get 10 hours TOPS. Screen on time is unknown. WiFi off, GPS and location on. Auto-sync off. Screen brightness is at 50%.

GPS on or off doesn't make much of a difference. Battery life is on par with my previous device. A Galaxy Nexus.

Thats crazy dude I text play pool email all day and check fb and ac forums from 6am to 6pm and I get home with 30-40% left

I wouldn't call myself a heavy user though because I have a job.... And work for a living

I have also been having some trouble with this, basically if I am at 20% battery I have no idea whether the phone will last 20 mins or 2 hours whether I am using it or not...It seems that the phone is not getting an accurate reading the battery life which is screwing things up... Any ideas on how to resolve? I use battery saving profiles with tasker currently.

Because my battery drains really fast..any solution?

Well I had the Note 2 and it used around 3-5% of battery an hour. My HTC ONE (M7) from T-Mobile Uses anywhere from 5.5-10% an hoiur with light use.

 

[Rockyroad2]

Do you guys think its normal if i had copilot running for about 45 minutes and to go from 100 to 71% battery life?

I was having the same problems. I followed all of the tips from this forum. Installed GSam battery monitor and Juice Defender. Nothing worked. My wife and I both bought a HTC One on the same day. She never had a problem or tweaked any settings. I would charge them both to 100% in the evenings, unplug them and just let them sit on the desk over night. In the mornings her's was consistently at 95%. I was lucky if mine was at 75%. I took it back for an exchange. The new one is working just fine. I truly believe I had a phone with a bad battery.
