I feckin knew it ......

Hey guys, I posted a thread recently asking about standby time , I felt the battery was dropping more then it should be over night!! Anyways, it seems i was right ....

"......and about the only thing hindering the HTC One's final score is the standby time - it appears there is some leakage during standby, which draws the battery faster than it should. These are usually fixed with a firmware update, though, after the company identifies the rogue chip or app that causes the unnecessary battery drain, so when this happens, we might be looking at one of the best battery lives on a smartphone, delivered in the slender package of the HTC One"

Taken from an article i read on phonearena

nah there's probably an app or notification coming in overnight.

There's also a setting to disable data after long periods of inactivity. I would enable that.

How about plugging in your phone over night?

It usually gets charged during the day so its never low enough to need a charge over night really!!

I have every setting adjusted to support battery life, trust me!! Lastnight for example,i took the phone off full charge and used it for around 30 minutes before going asleep, The battery drained 5% to 95% and when i woke only 6 hours later it was on 85%

10% in 6 hours is a problem?

HTC has Sleep mode enabled by default, which kills your data over long periods of inactive use. It's supposed to help battery life but I'm guessing something isn't working correctly there.

Well considering no other phone i ever had drained that much in 6 hours of standby then yeah it is a bit! The phone could easily be in standby for 6 or more hours a day also so thats 20% or more a day iam losing just to standy

I plug mine in anyway.....always start day with full charge

Yeah No issues with the battery life here my guess is a App or some kind of setting that has been turned off that needs to be turned back on.

Well there must be a problem with it if its even mentioned in an article online,I assume theres some truth to it! I actually turned power saver on lasnight (forgot to mention that) I was using the phone and i was thinking "cool i think its actually lasting longer" 5% drain for 30mins online seems pretty decent to me and then i wake up and an extra 10% has vanished in just under 6 hours

I'm not loving the battery life on this phone either, though as I get better at configuring things on Android it's gotten a lot better, but 10% in 6 hours doesnt seem like a lot to me. Who knows, I'm coming from an iPhone 4s which would have 50% battery left when I plugged it in at night.

Maybe so,Its only in standby mode that iam feeling its draining more then it should! In use its pretty good although sometimes i feel it "jump drops" as in it might drop only 2 % over 15 minutes and then suddenly drop 4% over the next 5-10 minutes , I read something about that here as a matter of fact

It all depends what been installed on the device and what settings have been adjusted on the device. Every device will be different due to not everyone has the same Apps installed and people don't have all the same settings set the same. So until you get 2 devices with all of the same Apps and the settings all the same that will be the only way truly test it. Besides that battery life will be different from each device because none of them are set the same and how often people use their device will vary as well.

iPhone 4S was not a 4G LTE phone. It is irrelevant to compare it to a 4G LTE phone when it comes to battery life. Big difference in screen size, too, which is huge wrt battery life.

Apparently it does need to be charged overnight if I'm to site your original message about battery drain overnight.

I understand that, But the only app running in the background is magic locker and i can see from my usage that its not a battery drainer!! If anyone is after reading this and is leaving there phone on standby tonight then try remember the percentage before you go asleep and report back when you wake up

You can't really compare the 4 to this phone as that has no LTE and it sports a 3.5" screen compared to the 4.7 on the one. Bigger screen, more battery drain. The iphone 5 has pretty crappy battery life compared to the 4 also.

The issue isnt specific to over night though,A phone can be in standby during the day to

There are no apps running overnight? no email, weather, google account sync?
