You are actually wrong - when you leave the phone connected to power supply, the battery is not being used - the phone powers all the functions using power supply and only "trickle charges" the battery as needed (for example, when it starts to lose power even when not being used, which ALL rechargeable batteries do) and turns off the charging completely when battery is full. So it's always good to leave the phone connected to power supply.
Took mine off the charger at about 6a.m.-ish and with moderate use im at 52%. Thats about 14 hours, so not too bad.
I came from a Note 2 and so far I'd say its very, very close to the Note 2. On the Note at about this time of night i'd have close to 50%. Also with the Note 2 I could get 2 days on one charge and I'm sure the One would be very close, I just don't trust it enough yet to not charge it nightly.
So far so good but needs a few more days of evaluation to be sure.

It all depends on what you are doing on it. Games can drain any phone really fast. One persons usage can be totally different than another person. I've gotten great battery on my nexus 4 and bad battery. It's all about what apps are being used.It should last all day with a 2300mah battery lets not fool ourselves

I agree. I watched the Techno Buffalo review and he said after 9 days of moderate to heavy use he was always getting a full day of use from 7am until midnight. That's all I need.While I agree it depends on what kind of use, but considering that just basic web browsing, some youtube videos, social networking lightly and eats battery like crazy, and without quick charge you can't get your phone charge for longer use fast enough.

I've had my ATT 64GB One for a week Friday and so far the only thing I'm not liking is the battery life. My previous phone, the SGNexus would usually be at 30%-45% by the time I put it back on the charger at the end of the day before going to bed and so far the One is lucky to be at 25% and most days I'm charging for 30+ minutes while I seldom needed to charge the SGNexus during the day. I have not switched the launcher and have made very few phone calls and no texts. Once again HTC just blows for battery life. I mean, I love the phone otherwise but this phone needs a 3000mAHr battery.
Hopefully things will improve but I'm more than a little worried...

But what's the problem? If the One is at 25% by the end of the day, then you made it. Why do you need more?
I suspect most people have a psychological breakdown as a battery indicator winds its way from 100% to 0% throughout the course of a given day. For example, they get "nervous" when the battery gets into the 80% range, become "concerned" in the 70s, "panicky" in the 60s, "fearful" in the 50s, "psychotic" in the 40s, "suicidal" in the 30s, "have a religious awakening" in the 20s, "find God" in the 10s, and "accept their fate" by 0. Yes, the One should have had a 2800 to 3200 mAh battery inside, and HTC was more interested in aesthetics and hand-comfort. Once again, you're holding a computer in your hand with some specs better than any laptop on the market. It's naive to assume the battery will last from 6:00am to midnight with all radios blasting, games, web surfing, streaming movies... No way. Only the Note 2 can do that, and its size renders it impractical for 98% of the smartphone public. The One does an excellent job if you know how to manage it properly.
Seriously? 35% at the end of the day on a Galaxy Nexus? I call BS. That phone is not even in the same league as the One in terms of power usage. The GNex had horrible battery. And like others have said, why complain that you have 25% at the end of the day?I've had my ATT 64GB One for a week Friday and so far the only thing I'm not liking is the battery life.

That's not true. The chip in the One and SGS4 are far better at using power than the chips on older phones. They may use more because of screen size etc. But it isn't from the chip.Guys, it's not really correct to compare it to your previous older phones... The HTC One has a different, more powerful CPU/GPU, which will cause more power consumption during usage. More correct way would be to compare it to GS4. Buy both of these, test them out yourself using same exact apps/games (test out their power saving options too), see which one lasts longer with YOUR particular usage.
Eh not too impressed with the battery life today. Used the camera a lot though. It's about the sane life I was getting with my Samsung Galaxy S2.
