HTC One Battery Life/Stats Discussion

[frellingfrakker]

I've had my one for 2.5 weeks now and my typical day gets me down to about 30%, not as good ad I'd like but better than the first week. If only they'd put a 3000mahr battery in it...

I'm liking the camera but I miss the native time lapse feature my SGNexus had.

If it still has juice left when you plug it in at night what is there to complain about?

Htc will replace the phone when the battery starts holding less charge. it is part of your warranty

How do we know when its holding less charge and is the standard two year warranty on this device ?

You don't understand how batteries work -- if you run a battery down that much it has a short lifespan and before you know it it's dead not at the end of the day but in the middle of the day.

Look at all the folks getting the juice packs to give the phone 4000mahr but making it thicker and uglier than sin. OTH, if the phone had been designed with a 3000mahr battery from day one it wouldn't need to be much thicker at all, would still have the nice lines. How is it some folks don't get this????

Advanced mode and since unplugged options on. I assume these are way too high and I should exchange this phone, right?

So far yesturday first full day of charge and rooted with custom rom, I am sitting on 13hrs 40mins with 54% left.

Been streaming videos and texting most of the day. It has lasted longer than before when I didn't have the phone rooted and flashed

The meters aren't that accurate... Your example demonstrates this. No phone can do 7.5 hers off this.

Which ROM did you install?

 

[aponteg22]

I've been able to get about 3-4 hours of screen time, total battery life varies on how consistently I'm using the phone (shortest about 7 hours, longest over a day).
This includes about 30-45 minutes of Youtube streaming, 30 minutes of web browsing, an hour of music streaming, taking and uploading photos, checking Facebook, text messaging, etc.

14 hours using WiFi all day, 8 hours of music, 2 hours of you tube, one hour of talk and text, 1 hour of websurfing, 2 email accounts sync, facebook sync, about 6 blink feeds running, 20 minutes of camera time give or take, no Bluetooth, a bunch of other little ****. On a day when I don't use it, it lasts me 2 full days I think. Not to sure because I can't put this sweet baby down lol. Using power save features from HTC stock.

Got 5H and 30M of screen time today. Sync every hour, Locations On, FB, twitter, and messaging...

I'm a casual user of the phone and probably use it moderately throughout the day. I usually have 4G LTE enabled while I'm at work during the day. Few phone calls and text messages and check Facebook throughout the day. Browsing Blinkfeed while I'm on the can. Mess around with taking some pictures and Zoes when I get home to play with my daughter. Watch some youtube at night before I go to sleep. I usually enable Wifi when I get home. I usually turn off Mobile or Wifi and leave one or the other one depending on where I am. My screen brightness is usually set to medium and when I'm sleeping at night, I turn off Wifi and 4G LTE and set the Power Saver option on.

So far, with this more conservative pattern of normal, daily use, I've been able to get about 48 hours between charges which is really decent in my opinion. I'm sure if I used it more heavily over the weekends, I could probably go about 1.5 days or at least 24 hours on a full charge. But honestly, I think most smart phone users fall into this boat sooner or later because you can't literally be on your phone ALL the time (at least not for me, hehe). The battery for the HTC One is holding up good so far.

Is it really true that if my battery starts losing charge that HTC will replace it based on my warranty?

I can't use my phone at work so for the past few days I have put it on airplane mode. Today for the first 3 hours I was at 80%! I have no clue how your One is not using much battery on standby.

i'm pretty anal about monitoring and stopping wakelocks as well as culling apps that access GPS for no reason so that probably has a lot to do with it.

I have a question. So I've heard reviews of how good the batter is for the One, and how it lasts people a day and even a bit more. I've had this phone for two days, and I'm not sure if I'm the only one experience this or if is normal.


Basically, I charge my phone overnight. When I wake up at 6:00, its fully charged. Throughout school, however, I notice the battery percent lowering after a period of time. By the end of school, which is around 2:30, it would have around 50ish% (yesterday) to 25% (today) left. The reason for the 25% is because I've been using Snapchat during classes, but the battery percentage being that low after school contradicts what other reviews are saying about the One's battery life, which can supposedly take heavy usage and last a day.

Is there something wrong with my device, or is this normal and I'm just having extra apps that I don't know of running?

Impossible to tell without more data. Do you have gsam where you can give us details as to what was using your battery, how much screen time, etc?

I just downloaded it. I'm a noob at this, so how do I display the information needed?

 

[inertianinja]

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.

I think you're absolutely right, I'm guilty of this battery panic.

My battery problems turned out to be a bit unfounded. I was getting bad battery life, and the phone was hot all the time. Then I got a data usage alert. Turned out that a sync error with the mail app was causing the phone to be constantly syncing with my work email account. It downloaded 895mb of data despite my sync settings.

I disabled that account and the phone is going much better.

Its easier for you to figure it out then for me to explain it. Just open it up and take a look.

Glad to hear it. Congratulations.

Have not been pleased with battery usage and was surprise to see Maps at top of the list. I first tried turning off location services and then realized Google Now and Home screen weather location stopped working. The attached screen shot was taken about a couple of hours after stopping location services. So im now trying the tip to disable Maps "location reporting from this device". Hope it works.
