Really bad battery drain.

[SirIrving]

Hello androidcentral community. I bought my HTC One about 5 days ago and I have noticed a really bad battery drain.

I know this isn't the first thread complaining about this issue, 'cause the first thing I did was search for a fix to this problem. Sadly none of the solutions I found worked for me.
When I use the phone like a normal person would do (Browse some web pages, check facebook, listen to music etc.) the phone discharges really fast (Like 1 percent per two minutes or three). And when I leave the screen off the battery doesn't consume that fast (I left my phone uncharging when I went to sleep and after 10 hours it took about 10 percent of the battery which I think is pretty acceptable)

I've tried:
- Calibrating the battery
- Using AppsOpps to prevent Google Play Services from waking up the device.
- Using Greenify to hibernate the apps that may drain the battery.
- Using Amplify to manage and edit/disable wakelocks, alarms and services.
- Changing the ROM
- Flashing a new Kernel
- Perform a Factory Reset.

I'm currently using the AndroidRevolutionHD Rom based on Sense 6 running Android 5.0.2 and using the ElementalX kernel. My phone is the unlocked version.

Could you download a battery stats app and let it monitor for a few days and post it back here. Keep in mind though, the HTC one m7 only has a 2300 mah battery. That being said, I usually made it through a work day with it, but I always had power saving mode on. Everyone's usage and battery life varies though.

Alrighty, I just downloaded GSam Battery Monitor. I'll post an update in a few days. Thanks for the answer.

No problem, I hope we can find a way to make it better.

Do you have the power saving on? On my m7/m8 it's always enabled. Also, how high do you have your screen brightness?
My battery life is reasonable and I'm not using anything besides the things mentioned above.

Yes, I have power saving enabled (Without the "Display" and "Vibration" option). And my screen brightness is a little bit less than 50%, like 40% or 35%

Have you gotten any good stats from Gsam yet?

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I got some stats, but defenetily not good ones.


At this point I'm really desperate, I've changed the ROM and re-calibrated the battery numerous times. And since my warranty is gone because I unloacked the bootloader I don't really know what to do anymore

Edit: As I said before, when I leave my phone with the screen off the battery lasts a lot (One time I got to the end of the day with a little bit more than half battery left, but I barely used the phone). And when I use it. the battery drains really bad. I wake up in the morning with the battery fully charged, since I leave it plugged all night. I proceed do some stuff with my phone like browse 9GAG for a while, check facebook and see some videos my battery can go down to 90% in 10 to 20 minutes.

I don't know what to tell ya, could just be a bad battery, or maybe your usage is just too much for the 2300mah battery.

Your stats do look like you have a problem though. My m7 seemed to last longer. The only thing I can suggest is maybe replacing the battery or upgrading your phone.

Well thanks anyways. I really don't think it's the battery, I get a really great battery life when the screen is off. Neither I think the battery usage is too much, I use it like a normal person would do, watch some videos, check social media and play media, ocasionally play some games. I guess I'll just keep searching, maybe I'll end up reaching HTC to ask them to repair the phone or something.
