sorry to hear that :/ i use my phone for youtube,instagram,email,facebook,music and some very light gaming,i believe i get the battery life that i get because i don't really play much games on my phone anymore,i use to play lots of mobile games on my iphone before i switched,but i'm no longer into mobile gaming,sometimes i do play a little bit of asphalt 8,maybe 15 minutes or so,most of the time i just listen to music or watch a few youtube videos and send a few texts,overall i am not a super heavy user,i mostly use basic things,some other people may play more games which may drain the battery faster,but for the things i do,the battery has been superb and lasts me a very long time,and if i used any of the battery saving modes then i could get more out of it,oh and it also helps that i am in a good signal area and i almost always remain on wifi while i am home

thanks man,rooting sound cool,I'll do the same as you and wait for the warranty to expire before I do any of that,it would suck if I bricked my phone lol,and those battery stats aren't bad,but it just doesn't seem right to be only getting 3 hours of screen on time,I wish I could help you out but I don't know what could be going wrong man,but it's not really bad on my worse day I just got about 5 hours of screen on,these are my stats for right now,they are lower than most days,I watched a few YouTube videos maybe a total of 30 minutes listened to a few songs and been on the android central app most of the time

Do not use sync for their services, could drain this battery performances, when you use something, just push the sync you want to sent a sync then that it.
Or go setting in option and uncheck sync bluetooth nfc. All of threes can drain the battery that you don't need them.

NFC uses such little power, its meaningless. Its an advanced technology that purposely doesn't vampire draw.

Re: My battery life sucks what's wrong ?

I constantly have Google services running even if I force close them.. They are labeled:
-GoogleLocationManagerService
-DispatchingService
-GcmService

Is this normal and what seems to be causing this? Any help is appreciated thanks!

My battery life has been fantastic up until yesterday. I noticed that the Awake graph suddenly turned solid starting at about 10:00 yesterday. This has continued through today. Any help would be appreciated.

I've had my unlocked version of the M8 for 20+ days now. The battery life has been pretty average. It can be compared to my Nexus 5--or even worse at times.

I'm currently using it with T-Mobile, but it seems that the standby time is being greatly affected when I leave LTE turned on. I'm not sure if it's because I have the unlocked version that isn't assigned to a specific carrier. The battery drain can be somewhat remedied by switching from GSM/CDMA/LTE to GSM/CDMA, which would only give me 3G and HSPA(+?) connectivity. I don't want to compromise data speed though. It's weird because my Nexus 5 seemed to endure LTE standby better. The signal strength between the two are more or less the same.

I don't think anything is wrong with my M8 either. I didn't want to deal with the hassles of exchanging it because mine doesn't have any hardware problems or physical defects.

Stats:

Doesn't this seem really bad for my M8? I rarely get through a full day. Yesterday, I streamed internet radio for 3 hours, listened to music for 5 hours, and my battery was down to 20% with minimal screen on time. On 4G the whole time. It also seems to drain too much when the screen is off. I think I had 41% drain with screen on and 36% drain screen off.

While this lasted me a whole day, based off what i see in this thread and other threads, i should be doing better with on screen time and im not sure whats holding it awake so much that seems high to me

i dont have any sync options on, my brightness is always almost all the way down, i just browse the web,text and use facebook and instagram
