I have to charge it twice a day, and my use is for only couple of hours talking and few browsing.
I tried that with stock as well as
[ROM] cwm-Phantom-X-
is anyone else also experiencing the same?
a few hours being like 10 hours straight talking?
You're crazy. This battery is the best I've seen in a long time.

im getting 12 hours with normal use and 8-9hours with very very heavy use(basically on my phone all day non stop)
I can drain a battery in 6 hours or less. I can't make it through a 8 hour work day without charging it. I guess you guys that go 12+ hours on a charge aren't power users. I tried every rom and kernel and my results are exactly the same.
Maybe the people who are complaining about battery life came from a flip phone or a blackberry. As far as smartphones go, this is the best you'll find for the features and enormous screen we have. Don't believe me then get an Amaze, Sensation, myTouch 4g Slide or G2x.

this is exactly what I am talking about.
Before I had HTC G2 and same amount of use it last for whole day (around 12+ hours) but this one hardly goes upto 7-8 hours with one charge...
I did the battery wipe with full charge, if that makes any difference.

I dont know bout anyone else... but the only battery problems ive experienced is the fact that ive become so damn lazy on keeping the phone charged.
The battery lasts so long that i forget to charge it, and then i run out of battery
I'm a heavy user literally all I do is watch 1080p movies and plays games on my phone. I get twelve to fourteen hours every day. I also get at least a text every fifteen minutes if not more. Maybe the developers didn't remove career ciq which bogs down performance and drain the battery. You can also try a different kernel.

don't forget that in areas where you have crappy signal, you phone pumps up the power to try and compensate. you may notice your phone heating up in your pocket too. If you have no signal at all, i weep for your battery life.
go into airplane mode to save juice.
I too get 24 hours or more from light to moderate use with juggernaut.
Heavy use still nets me at least 10 hours. Although I toggle things off if I remember and don't need them. Like wifi, data, auto bright, sync, etc. although WAY lead important with this phone than it was with vibrant running cm7.

I had some weird battery drain with the stock rom. I couldnt get more than 5 hrs with light usage or heavy usage. I flashed streamlined (a mostly stock rom) from teshxx and im back to having 9-10hrs of battery life with moderate to heavy usage (3hrs of on screen time)

Why don't you try adding another core to your G2 and see if you can even get 6+ hours!!!
Cmon man, this is a dual core phone...it's just common sense that it will use twice as much battery power to get it to run smoothly.
But honestly, I was able to get 21hrs out of a full charge. With heavy use but i had it UC'd @ 1.2max and 192min. Still ran pretty smooth tho.
I get about 18 to 20 hours from a full charge. Stock. Non-rooted, and no modifications of any kind. I have all my apps auto-sync every 4 hours, and my usual display "on time" is around 4 to 5 hours. Here are some screen shots. This is the best battery life I ever had.
Just to add. My brightness is at 40%
is it better to use autobrightness on our device or a set brightness setting to save battery?

I'd say set it to certain level. Having the phone constantly adjust I would think would use more battery.
I feel like I make a thread for each phone I go through. First Blackberries, then Droid X, now Galaxy Nexus.
I am getting pretty horrible battery drain that is definitely worse than others' Nexuses. I have gone to the extended battery now for a few days, yet in the morning, when I unplug from charger (says 98% but charged?), with brightness only a quarter of the way up from lowest, I can literally watch the percentage (battery number mod in corner) drop one-by-one each minute or a few...So if I am actually using the phone, you can imagine it drops pretty fast. Yesterday, with very very moderate use the phone was still dead within 5-6 hours. It was at the mid-80s within an hour or more. Again, with moderate use.
It is stomach-dropping watching the percentage number just go down and down. Yet my friend's Gnex using the extended battery his first day did not hit 85% yesterday until 5+ hours later. The battery stats page on mine shows nothing with high numbers except Screen and Android OS, so I assume no apps are draining it. I am rooted with unlocked BL, on bigxie's deodexed ROM with softkeys mod, battery percentage mod, and power menu mod. I have 100-something apps and many widgets but no battery draining/updating ones. Others with the same ROM report fine battery.
I believe after using the ext. battery for a couple days, it should be "conditioned" if needed at all, yet I see no improvement.
I'm getting very angry watching this drop.. For example, 40 minutes off the charger with almost NO use except for turning the screen on here and there, I am at 94% battery with Screen at 46%, Android OS at 34%, Phone Idle 11%, Cell Standby 9%, and Android System 2%.
And then 1 hr 20 min in, at 88% battery with 55% Screen, 27% Android OS, 6% Phone Idle, 6% Cell Standby.
This doesn't sound normal right? Keep in mind, those numbers are with almost no phone use..very minimal settings menus visited and one update from Market.
Jesus, literally almost every time or two I turn the screen on just to check these numbers, I see the damn battery percentage drop a number. Not even using the phone how/as much as I normally would be. This is infuriating. Luckily, it doesn't seem to drain much with the screen off.
Quit checking and wait til the bug is fixed and blood pressure stabilizes?
Crazy world, ay?
Update to 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 with an improved kernel = success.
Use the phone for 1-2 weeks to stablize battery life - mine is better now than it was when I began using it. But the kernel/rom makes a big difference.
Thanks. Any suggestions on with combo to use now? 4.0.3 preferrably I guess.
Then why does my friend on totally stock 4.0.2, non-rooted have that great battery life from the first day using the extended battery?? I'm pretty much basing mine off of his and other's who are getting ridiculously long life. I never understood how it varies SO much. We should all have the same relative to usage.

No. Because no two phones are set up the same. Too many variables to say relatively same usage. For instance, when i go to bed i get 2-3 hours standby per percentage point. Not everybody is going to get that.

Maybe, but the fact that I have no other visible outstanding draining factors, and I get no 4G at home and therefore have it set to CDMA only...I should not be seeing 1% drops almost every time I turn the screen on for more than 30 seconds. Especially with an extended battery.
God forbid I want to use GPS or 4G.

You probably have a misbehaving app. Download better battery stats from the android apps and games section here at xda and let it run for a day or so and see what processes are being used the most and what your wakelocks are, etc.
Also, find a 4.0.3 rom with a kernel that can be undervolted and try that out.

Thank you, downloading now and will check it out.
I'll admit I'm using the GSM version so my experiences may not apply but for the first few days my battery life was utter crap.
Its been MUCH improved over the last few days, I dont have the wakelock issue and with the screen off the battery drain is literally only about 3% per hour, and thats with background data on.
YES, the screen DOES use a lot of battery, it isnt really avoidable and is somewhat expected with a 720p 4.6 inch super AMOLED screen.
The one thing I can recommend doing is finding a modded kernel and undervolting that CPU - It seems they've been really rather generous providing power to the thing, I've been able to take off at least 100-150mv across the board.

This - My battery on the stock battery on GSM sucked first few days, and I was really concerned I made a poor purchase. But with the screen on probably 5 or 6 hours of my work day it lives through the day and just enough to get home after that. I can charge it at work too, which I usually do. On my day off it survived 18 hours and still had ~20% battery life left on 4.0.3 AOKP/Francisco.Franco Kernel
From my experience, the battery life isn't bad. I did install the "extended" battery as soon as I bought the phone but is isn't much bigger than the stock battery. I am on stock rooted 4.02. With LTE off I use about 2% per hour in standby. With LTE on it is almost double that (3-4%/hour). I have several widgets running and gps enabled. (wifi when available) I can easily get a 16-18 hour day and have 50% remaining when I go to bed unles I sit around gaming for a couple hours.
I may try a new ROM tonight but I expect it will probably make things worse.
Im running a bone stock setup and im getting 12 -14 hours a day... normally I read posts like the one skiddingus posted and wonder why I never can achieve those readings so i feel your confusion . I do have 4g on and gps off screen is about 1/4 of the way up brightness wise
Okay so I presume all of you one X power users have noticed a the horrible battery performance. I only got my one x yesterday and I'm already frustrated with the fact that i yet again have to carry my charger around with me. Is there a fix? I have root and custom recovery. So if there is a fix for this please someone let me know.m
Since I flashed the Revolution HD I got excellent battery performance. Without doing too much stuff (just calling and texting), battery remains > 50% at the end of the day. I would really recommend that rom.
I've just flashed it, going to see how it goes. But I would've expected HTC to bang a beast of a battery for the beast of a processor and massive screen its gotta run. Oh well, still early days, hopefully we'll see massive software improvements.

Not really, no. Personally I did not unlock device, neither root it, neither installed any fix. And I must say that I'm more happy with battery life than I was with my previous phone SGS2. More then 16 hours here with 4 accounts synchronization on, 3g/wifi on, and sometimes gps + music on (for Endomondo). I'm really happy with my One X.
ARHD Rom, auto-brightness, plain wallpaper, no haptic feedback, no roaming, managing syncing, and a few other tweaks will leave this devices battery life as one of the best.

Yep. Relax. I got 6 hours from first charge, 10 hours from second charge, 12 hours from third charge...
After over two weeks I'm now getting between 18 and 24 hours. Give it a couple of weeks before judging battery life.

I try to use as much as I can the first few days, and time it so that you have about 10-30% charge left when you reach home from work/school and then I let it charge overnight.
I know quite a lot of time was spent idle, but 60% after 7 and a half hours isn't too bad http://twitter.com/Dev_Meltus/status/194082996767309825/photo/1/large
I've not really had a problem with battery life so far.

Have been seriously contemplating getting the One X.
My first choice had been the Galaxy S3..... but the One X seems the better choice.... I have had the iPhone 4 for almost 2 years, so now it's almost upgrade time If the Galaxy S3 had no physical home button I would be taking it.
Had been worried about the battery life of the one x but after reading these and a few others it seems worth it and it's available in black (dark grey but darker than S3 metallic blue)
I Just hope I don't have issues with app incompatibility for the apps I use on iPhone.
With normal usgae, I've got more than 10 hours after one charge. Not so happy with it but it's good enough for me.

I've turned everything off and left my phone on idle, my battery issue has persisted for over 6 months now (I bought it in Singapore on release day). With screen on min brightness, static wallpaper, most apps off, my battery drains fully within 6 hours. If I actually do anything with it like make phonecalls, it drains in hours. The battery phone is constantly hot, when on charge It's almost too hot to hold. If while on charge (AC) I use it to make a call, it complains that it's not receiving enough power. Should I look to get a replacement from HTC? I'm still using stock rom so it should be covered under warranty?
Sounds like the htc amaze battery overheat..
Also get gsam battery app.. it will tell you what apps are using what % of battery.
I also use advanced task manager from play store.. it proved to me how much gmaps Facebook and other bloat was ALWAYS RUNNING!.. I got root and froze it all with big improvements
Some of us who htc amaze w no warranty bought a new battery and that fixed it

Aside from your time travel/exaggeration, I suggest better battery stats, finding out what is causing wake lock, and killing.it.
Your phone is fine, but you have some crapware on it.
Here's a potentially interesting one.
With the stock 1800 mA battery I would get 8-10 hours, so I bought a new battery. Not Samsung, but it got pretty good ratings on Amazon. The first run of that battery lasted 28 hours on a single charge. Subsequent charges only lasted 12-16 hours.
So I tried an older 1500 mA battery for a day, then switched back to the 1800 mA. I always get two days from the 1800 on the first time I start using it again, followed by 12-16 hours each time thereafter. Then I'll use the 1500 for a day, and then get two days from the 1800. I can repeat the cycle over and over.
To say it another way:
Day 1: 1500 mA battery gets 8 hours
Day 2: 1800 mA battery gets 48 hours
Day 4: 1800 mA battery gets 14 hours
Day 5: 1800 mA battery gets 14 hours
Day 6: 1500 mA battery gets 8 hours
Day 7: 1800 mA battery gets 48 hours
Day 9: 1800 mA battery gets 14 hours
Day 10: 1800 mA battery gets 14 hours
How is it that I can get two days from the 1800 only after using an 1500? If it is capable of two days, why doesn't it just work that way all the time?
no clue. i think if u had screenies of ur battery stats and what rom/kernal/modem you are using you will get more replys from people who can help.
ive never had better then 12 hours so i personally would be happy with ur batterys
Attached are some screenshots. However there really isn't any difference if you compare all the different times I tried it. Day one always give me great battery life while following days blows.

use bettbattstats and cpu spy.. there are so many different things that affect battery.. this is controversial.. but are you calibrating your batteries?

I think a lot of these weird battery behaviors are due to mobile network. Back on Gingerbread it always kept a steady line but since ICS now we get a lot of black. This behavior is not present on the GS3's ICS nor on my Evo3D running ICS. Both have steady lines. Also you have a big red line which doesn't look good I would think that means you had no service which can kill battery. I just keep rebooting my phone till I see that my percentage is going down slower then the last boot up. This phone is weird sometimes it's great on batt but most of the time it's not.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
My battery life is only consistent when my use is consistent which is basically never. I have some things optimized for battery life and others for convenience. I have 2 extra batteries of different brands and just carry one with me now and don't worry. External charger is your friend, I rarely ever plug in to charge anymore.
I believe that 1500mA battery in your cycle is throwing things off. I use 2 1800mA and they give similar hours.

yeah you can see right when the mobile data turned red his battery dropped twice as fast.
i suggest turning off your data whenever your not using it. especially 4g. seems to kill mine in mins.
also are you ics or jb?
I'm running 4.0.4 - ICS. This is the stock Sprint, non-root.
I can tell you that my usage patterns are almost the same every weekday or every weekend. Monday through Friday my use is always low during work hours and then higher when I'm outside the office. Saturday and Sunday is equally predictable with about the same amount of usage.
The difference in the number of hours I get has nothing to do with usage, and strictly whether I had a smaller battery in the day before.
So I guess another way of saying it: my phone/battery is quite capable of 48 hours of use on a single charge. I just have to have a day on the 1500 mA battery first. Which makes me think that there is a reason that the phone isn't being smart battery consumption and it has nothing to do with my use. I use Better Battery Stats every day to keep an eye on things and I'm familiar with everything that runs.
How far down do you let it go before you charge? Do you let it run all the way out? On codename once mine hits 20 it often hovers for a while. Same when it drops down around 6 so I typically run mine down almost all the way.
DroidLife; HTC One (M8) Review
http://www.droid-life.com/2014/04/07/htc-one-m8-review/
Battery life sucks on the M8 ?
HTC claims that the new One (M8) could see upwards of 40% better battery life over last year’s M7, but I’m not I’m buying it. I saw average battery life in my testing on the 2,600mAh battery that wasn’t necessarily greatly improved over last year’s One. My testing typically includes multiple days in a row of nothing but 4G LTE, followed by a few with WiFi mixed in. On 4G LTE-only days, my phone was almost always begging for a charger after 10-12 hours of use and around 3 hours of screen-on time.
Per this review they say battery life is average at best, and not that good, only getting 3h On Screen time, and overall just like 10h - 12h of total battery life on the phone, and with WiFi on they get 14 hours total battery life.
I thought all the real world reviews of people, and other sites were raving about the battery life on this new One M8 ? getting like 5h to 6h On Screen time ?
That review was either based on bad 4g reception, or the reviewer was flat out lying. Also , what is "multiple days in a row"? That's not very scientific. Very bad reviewer in my book
I get very good o2 4g reception, but mostly use WiFi or no data. I have 30 percentage charge left when I go to bed and I get about 4.5 hours screen on.
Can't imagine why anyone would want 4g on all day long but to each their own. Personally I only use 3g on the go unless I really need super speed.
AnandTech's device reviews are the only ones that matter and they saw upwards of 70% improvement in battery life.
For me, the M8 battery is lasting at least twice as long as the M7. First phone I've had in a long time that can last in excess of 48 hours with my normal usage
Right now my battery stats say 1 day, 17hrs: 4h 28m screen on. The battery is currently at 48%
After reading more about that DroidLife, they seem very pro Samsung #1, and then Nexus devices #2, and anything else just sucks. Also one of the reviewers is known to be an HTC hater, per the comment section of regulars on that site.
Clearly they haven't used the M8 everyone I know is getting 4-5+ hours screen time.
The reviewer is flat out lying and a tool. Every other review says it's good and we all know it's good from owning and using one.

This was after my 3rd full charge/discharge cycle. 6 days on just reg power saver and light use.
It's all subjective... I get some 3 to 3.5 hours screen on time with auto brightness. I also have lots of apps background syncing and waking up the phone constantly. So it all depends on how you set up your phone, number of apps, usage criteria. So good battery life for one person may not be the same to other.
So no point to argue on battery life good or bad.

Good point, but for me 3h to 3.5h On Screen time would be extremely disappointing. I use my phone a ton during the workday, and realize I need at least 5h On screen time minimum, perfect for me is more like 6h On Screen time. I need a phone to last a full solid day, from like 6:00am to 10:00pm.
Coming from the Nexus 5 my battery life has been stellar in comparison to what it was. I'm very happy so far.

DroidLife; HTC One (M8) Review
http://www.droid-life.com/2014/04/07/htc-one-m8-review/
Battery life sucks on the M8 ?
HTC claims that the new One (M8) could see upwards of 40% better battery life over last year’s M7, but I’m not I’m buying it. I saw average battery life in my testing on the 2,600mAh battery that wasn’t necessarily greatly improved over last year’s One. My testing typically includes multiple days in a row of nothing but 4G LTE, followed by a few with WiFi mixed in. On 4G LTE-only days, my phone was almost always begging for a charger after 10-12 hours of use and around 3 hours of screen-on time.
Per this review they say battery life is average at best, and not that good, only getting 3h On Screen time, and overall just like 10h - 12h of total battery life on the phone, and with WiFi on they get 14 hours total battery life.
I thought all the real world reviews of people, and other sites were raving about the battery life on this new One M8 ? getting like 5h to 6h On Screen time ?

Lol, whoever wrote that review is taking out their ringpiece. I've had my m7 for 8 months and now my m8 for 2 weeks and the battery life is tons better.I don't have to carry a battery bank in my pocket anymore. When I take my phone of charge and stick it in my pocket it will stay on 100% for least 2 hours if I don't use it.my m7 would drop down to 94% in that time. Don't listen to stupid reviews like that. He is probably an Apple lover who is gutted that his once awesome device is now being overshadowed by an android phone AGAIN.
Depends on how you use the device. Anandtech and other sites show heavy use in weak signal areas can drain any device.

how much more battery are you getting? I'm not the N5 right now and debating on getting the M8.

I'm rocking both the n5 and m8 right now, and this is totally a subjective statement without any real numbers, but I find myself plugging in the n5 a lot more than the m8. I am using the m8 more now because I like it more and the n5 still drains away just sitting there. The m8 is on verizon and the n5 is on tmobile, both have good reception in the area. I feel like I could comfortably use the m8 for 2 days and 1 night until I would want to put it on the charger. I'd estimate that I use about 2-3 hours screen time, 1-2 hours talk time and <1 hour navigation per day. Just my opinion based on real world observations, I'm not really interested in detailed usage tracking or anything like that. It works great and I'm going to keep the m8 and ditch the n5 when the month is up.

For me, the M8 battery is lasting at least twice as long as the M7. First phone I've had in a long time that can last in excess of 48 hours with my normal usage
Right now my battery stats say 1 day, 17hrs: 4h 28m screen on. The battery is currently at 48%

I dont know about this reviewer... The battery life to me is incredibly good. I can stream 4g/3g music through spotify while working a full day(around 8-9h playtime), while snapchatting, while texting(regular texts) and while texting in Kik and also using the internet for other things.
Without power saver, and using Greenify to prevent most wakelocks, I'm avergaing 7-9 hours screen on time with 10-15% charge remaining when I go to bed the second night.
