What am I doing wrong with this battery on the HTC 10?

[radiogirl83]

Got a new unit because of screen issues. I did have the feeling the battery was doing somewhat better, finally lol. Curious to see how this new HTC 10 does. So far I'm happy with first day usage drain not being too bad

Are you using the unlocked model on T-Mobile by any chance?

If so, you are not alone. Something's up there. Should be addressed soon (I hope)

I'm using unlocked on T-mobile and get good (in my opinion) battery life. Haven't heard about this issue. What's goin on there?

 

[radiogirl83]

Already getting better battery performance on this new unit straight out of the box!

I've had two and both get pretty bad battery life. I tried giving it the benefit of the doubt at first but the verdict is in fit me at least. Drains too much in standby, and I struggle to get close to four hours sot. I lose 6-8% overnight.

I just got 4 hours sot for the first time without any effort. Not sure what I am doing differently with this unit...

I went from 80% to 29% overnight. What is happening with doze.

The battery drain is from Wi-Fi that's why the drain is happening

Sounds like you have a wakelock going on. That shouldn't happen.

I did a full ruu so I will see what affect that has

From Shuyan on the M8 Forum, it WORKS GREAT!!!!:

used to have similar issues, where Google Play Services drains my battery, I then followed someone's advice to go to Settings > Applications > look for Google Play Services > Manage Storage > Clear All Data. It worked flawlessly for me and didn't affect anything else. Battery stopped draining. You may want to try at your own risks as I do not know what side effect it might cause to your phone. Good luck. ]

When you did this were you warned with a popup with a frightening notice? Loss of account data, etc.

I don't recall, hang on I will check it out...No, It says: All this app's data will be deleted permanently. This includes all files, settings, accounts,databases, etc. I did it, and had no issues at all. YMMV, but I have done it both on my M8 and my M10 with no apparent issues except longer battery life. All my data was still there, contacts, log ins, etc.

OK! My battery drain overnight was solved by turning off auto play video in twitter, facebook and blinkfeed.

I tried this out and it was the same result for me. More memory and better battery life without losing any contacts, files, etc.

I'm not doing anything special on my t-mobile locked version. All radios on all the time etc. It's not as good as my s7 edge but it's not bad at all. One difference to the s7 is that it does not tell you as it optimizes battery usage for apps. You just need to trust that after some days it starts reducing battery usage on infrequently used apps.

Dont know what I'm doing, either its not terrible but for a flagship I wanted and expected better.

For example on the Mi5 half an hours web browsing, which I like to do, only consumed about 3% of battery(Detailed Report of the Quick Charge 3.0 of Xiaomi Mi 5 - Xiaomi Mi 5/Pro - Xiaomi MIUI Official Forum) whereas If I did this on the HTC 10 I'd be looking at 10%+ consumption it just sips battery when the screens on for me. Of course there are many factors contributing but even If I was sitting next to the Wifi router, it'd defintely consume a lot more than 3%.

If the Nexus is good and the battery is better, I'd jump ship for battery alone.

on the NBR Forums they are talking about a bug in the WiFi driver on this phone that causes massive battery drain if WiFi is on.

Not true and I have Wi-Fi on all the time and do connect often.
