17 hours and 29 minutes in on Verizon. Approximately 3 hours of on screen time (Gsam randomly reset itself so I can't give an exact screen on time).

Here's another.

From my fingers to you on the M8, M9 or the Chromebook!

Basically emails, texting, some Web surfing and about 20 minutes of Slingbox.

Can't really tell much from this screen shot except your carrier socks. It's pretty much red the whole time. You must have Sprint.

You are correct.
I'll download GSam and post that in the future.

One thing is for sure, the posts about terrible battery life from the S6 makes me feel better about HTC's shortcomings in this area.

It's starting to come to light that it's a lollipop problem rather than the 810 chip

And if this is the case, software problems can be fixed OTA yaaaaay

My on-screen time said 38% 4:08 from yesterday. I took a screen shot and I don't see where to upload from my phone. It says used 88% in 5h 12m Battery life 6h 19m (5h 35m Active) Screen on 4h 38m (4h 8m Max) App ussage says 55% phone was only 4% and phone radio was on alot but it just says 1% and wifi is 1% held awake says 00:36:18 what's that mean 0%. My husband keeps his on auto brightness is it better to just set it on a number does auto drain more. And I have my phone screen set to go off at about 1 minute is that normal?

question is....who knows when we'll even get a fix.... i read a post somewhere that battery life improves significantly after the first couple of days. Its been roughly more than a week and the battery still sucks.

Yeah, I guess everyone will have to learn to install custom ROM's as there will be developers working on improving the current software.

It seems like T-Mobile is a battery sucker for the S6 and Sprint for the M9. Lollipop hasn't optimized the cell signal very well. I heard it has been better on the N6 since 5.1.

If you click on the hamburger menu in the top left of your gallery app, you should see a "downloads & screenshots" tab.

Technically, auto brightness should help with battery life because it adjusts to ambient light. So it keeps the screen from being brighter than it needs to be.

Not sure why your phone radio would only say such a low number. Did you put your phone in Airplane Mode?

What about Verizon? Does anyone have Verizon M9 yet and if so how is the battery life? thanks.

My wife and I both have Verizon... however, we are getting drastically different battery results. At this time, I believe that I had 2 rouge apps causing some drainage. I uninstalled one and disable the other. I'm going to see what happens moving forward after my next full charge. Yesterday she got 4 hrs of SOT and had 20% battery left while I had 1 hr 45 minutes of SOT with 20% battery left. I had to recharge at 4:30 PM while she put it on the charger at 9 PM. We both unplugged at 7 AM.

That isn't even better than a stock M8 battery wise. I would think a custom ROM and kernel would be better actually.

Using GSam, not as good as yesterday.

It seems like I would average 3 hours of screen of time, but Gsam reset when I plugged into my car to use MirrorLink, but my battery will last over 24 hours (had the phone estimate near 48 hours once) as most of the time I don't use my phone for more than 2-3 hours a day.

Wow. You carrier is 65% of your battery life.

Must be a really weak signal. I'm guessing Sprint is involved.

Heck yeah. I bounce between LTE and 3G all night long at my workplace. I'm on a charger because I dropped below 10 percent. GSam said ESPN app was pretty active so I disabled notifications and did a force stop.
