Hello guys!!!This is my first post here,it's nice to find you.I experience a serious drain battery problem,it began 2 days agoI am really satisfied with my note 2,for about a year or so it works really great and battery lasts for about 2 days.But suddenly 2 days ago it lasts about 17 hours,with the same usage as before.I see at wakelock detector that the phone almost never gets into idle mode.I unistalled any apps that trigger the phone to wake up,using the wakeup triggers menu of the wakelock detector but nothing changed.The bigest values at cpu wakelock are those of android services with something called nipwakelock on top.I either intsall any new apps during the last 2 days or changed any settings.I turned synchronization off but this didn't work.I am not rooted.Tell me an easy way to uplaod screenshots of the wakelock detector if this is necessary.How can i define which is the problem exactly?

I do because just 2 days ago with the same usage battery lasted for about 2 days.
Install Wakelock Detector and see which app is draining the battery. I had the same issue and Google+ image upload feature was keeping the phone alive almost half of the time. I had to force close and then uninstall/reinstall to resolve the issue. (Even though I had the option install only on wifi)

I have already installed it.How will i see which app is draining the battery?Through cpu wakelock menu?There as i said at my first post android services ''occupy'' cpu with most of the time,about 50 minutes and nip wake lock at android services rums most of the time.How will i see which application causes this?Other than android services facebook and facebook messenger rum about 2 minutes with an aproximately x240 times next to them i don't know what this is.I unistalled them both yesterday but this didn't solve the problem.
I unistalled a lot of applications and deactivated some in built applications.Today battery lasted for 1 day and 14 hours!!!Hope this is not sth temporal

Whats up guys.. I have a one x and my battery just drains when i go to sleep... Around 20-23 percent.. Even with power saver on and all toggles off.. I tried many apps just to prevent this and still its the same result.. I heard about this app and i just want to share it to you.. Battery drain is down to 4-5 percent within a 10 hour period.. Thats just great!!! App is called Greenify and it hibernates your apps than drains battery.. Have a try and let me know.. Support the dev as well.. Cheerios!

Been using this for a while and it works well. Just understand what your 'greenifying' so you don't think apps are broken as a result.

Does your battery drain even with screen off at night too bro?
Thanks for sharing, this is sort of stuff I looking for
Anyway, I prefer to solve the problem without this kinda application first, I'll try it once I'm at dead end

Not hugely like yours but I use it among other things to get a good full day use out of my phone without limping towards end of the day.
I would use gsam to identify the app drain at night and greenify to help if you can't stop it with the app settings or a fresh install.

I used wake lock and saw google maps draining so much of my battery and I disabled it and so far 4 days battery is good... I mean it doesn't drain. Hope it works.
I use this Greenify with Deep Sleep battery saver at night, Wifi drains alot of unnecessary power in the night, deep sleep turns on wifi and sync every X hours. Managed to get 1 day and 11 hours with total of 3 hours screen time(i use my phone as a PDA not as a high performance device)
Hey XDA friends. I got the Verizon HTC One a few weeks ago and battery life started out fantastic. When I put away to go to sleep it only lost 7% all night with GPS on and wifi on and all that and I was astonished. However as time went on I found those results kept getting worse and worse until I was draining 30% in a night. I went and uninstalled battery guru and now I only drain 12% a night. Some nights however I still lose 20% in a night with sleep mode on. How do I check what keeps waking my phone up and draining my battery. I'm afraid this will affect my phone's battery in the long run. I will start disabling GPS at night but I wish I still had that 7% in a night. How do I check what is messing with my phone???

go to settings/power/usage. this will tell you which app is using the most of you battery. also you should never have gps on while youre sleeping. you might also want to turn off auto-sync and then re-enable it after you wake up. you can create a widget to do just that. if you need help with that, just let me know.
Turn data Wi-Fi and gps off lol.... You are asleep

Do you use blinkfeed, that will kill your battery pretty fast. Even if you don't think you are using it, go check and see if it's syncing anything in the settings. I thought mine was turned off, but then I logged into facebook (turned sync off in facebook), later I found that blinkfeed was syncing it anyway w/out my knowledge.

You can go into settings and make sure everything is unchecked. Mine had several checked by default and it was draining battery.

Update: Battery only drained 10% last night with GPS off, Blinkfeed never updates on its own and all social networks are checked off (I don't like my social networks on Blinkfeed) other than that though everything seems to be in check. If anyone else has anyway to improve that 10% let me know (by the way the 10% was drained during 9 hours of constant sleep I went from 77 to 67)

Really, 1% per hour on standby with cellular radios on is pretty acceptable. Depending on signal strength, the radio could be pulling that just to maintain a connection to the tower.
Thanks everyone!
With GPS off, Sleep mode on, and NO BATTERY HELPER APPS (Battery guru was diminishing my battery life) I got a record breaking (for me) 4% loss in battery life during my 8 hour night's sleep, not bad if I do say so myself, after that my battery has been a lot better. I wish Verizon would give us HTC's battery saving software back but let's not ask too much of Verizon or they might give us timely updates.

Glad to hear this!!
those battery saving apps are so pointless IMHO, it's just another app and if coded incorrectly will do exactly what it did to you, destroy your battery that is working fine. very happy you can now enjoy your phone the way was designed to be!

Hey..I had the same problem so...first download wakelock detector from play store..after installing jus use your phone like as usual..after 4 to 5 hrs or right before you charge your phone, open the wakelock app and check what's waking up your phone during sleep..for everyone it seems the battery is drained by Google services ..the main culprit being the location services.. so switch off the location services in settings..and also in Google maps, go into setting and then into Google location settings and make sure location reporting and location history are disabled, make sure they are unchecked.. that's it..restart the phone..fully charge it and test it out ..and DON'T use any battery saving apps ..and also uninstall wakelocker app after your battery life is back to normal..I'm an average user and I unplug around 9 in da morning and when I come home around 6, I still have 65% left..I don use facebook .. heard even facebook app is major battery drainer....you jus have to tweak and play with settings till you find your desired battery life expectancy cos everyone uses their phone differently..and we all have different apps so the main thing is to find out what's eating the phone battery most...I'm just pleased with my decision in picking HTC ONE over galaxy S4
similar problem here....google services is killing my battery (relatively). location is part of it, but google hangouts is also going crazy (watchdog alerts me to excessive usage....over 50%, but hangouts was at 100%)
i was spoiled on my g-nex, where i left wifi, bluetooth, and GPS on 24/7 and could easily go 24 hours. now i'm lucky to get 12 (with about 1 hour of screen on time).
I'm hoping things will sort out, device is only about a week old, but google optimized location usage (iirc) such that it isn't supposed to constantly ping and kill battery. we shall see, i guess.
I'm not sure what the problem could be but I'm just gonna say that yesterday I got around 18 hours of battery life with over 5 hours screen on time which I consider awesome battery life.
I'm stock, so it's definitely possible to get good battery life.
10 percent overnight? Thats not that great but not horrible. My dna is running carbon (android 4.3) I use tasker to turn off autosync and data/wifi and put it on silent at whatever set time I make it. My phone drains about 5 percent max overnight, usually a lot less.

you can turn off updates in facebook and its not bad, but yeah if you have autoupdate on, it can kill the battery.
as far as the OP, I don't get why you don't charge you phone while you are sleeping. Seems like the perfect time.
Turning GPS off shouldn't affect your battery life. If you're not using your phone, the phone isn't going to use the GPS for anything. So it shouldn't be using your battery. The culprit is usually an app that is wakelocking your phone. So you need to find which app it is that constantly wakes your phone from deep sleep. Turning off autosync would help a bit if you are really paranoid. The big thing that hurts our battery when the screen is off, is the LTE radio, but most people are connected to WiFi when they sleep so it's not a big deal.
Just an FYI, turning off GPS has been ineffective since 2.2 Froyo. When Gingerbread 2.3 was released like 2+ years ago, it allowed for the GPS to only be used when an app called for it to be used. Otherwise GPS will not do anything unless you pull up an app that calls it to do something.
A lot of us SW3 users are having battery life issues after the Wear 5.1 update. My Smartwatch 3 went from 50% to dead in 90 minutes without using location or Wi-Fi. But after a factory reset (and long resync) my Smartwatch 3 is lasting longer than ever with Ambient Mode still enabled. I recommend factory resetting (the only things that will be lost are preferences and sideloaded apps) and disabling Wi-Fi after setup. If you can tolerate it, disable additional features like tilt wake and GPS (location). See if battery life improves and reenable useful settings after a few days.
Trick didn't help me. After 2 resets battery life is same. Drainig battery is here. Now for 2 days I am looking what is draining battery.

Ive done 2 factory resets since the issue started.
I've also turned off gestures, GPS, wifi and cloudsync.
Nothing seems to make a difference...
I think that some apps are not optimized for newest version of Android Wear, my Smartwatch after update has problem of battery draining, I've done 2 resets but nothing, then i uninstalled all apps and installed 1 app every 4-5 hours to find what causes problems. For now I found WatchMaker Pro that causes battery draining. Now using my watch normally, with wifi on, wrist gestures and some watchfaces installed from yesterday at 6 AM, today at 4:30PM i have 35% of battery, is not so bad!

I suspect this might be true. For me, Muzei app and possibly FORM watchface suddenly consumed 400mb of cellular data within minutes and sent my battery diving. Uninstalled both apps and battery life has been back to normal, even within Wi-Fi turned on (albeit rarely utilized since I'm hardly away from my phone).
My US unlocked HTC 10 is still unrooted until things smooth down a bit. It has the 1.53.617.5 update installed.
Left it on my desk last night at about 60% on the battery. Woke up this AM (~8 hrs later) and the phone was completely dead with 0% battery.
Any ideas on what could have caused this excessive battery drain?
I would advise you to install a wake lock detector app and check what app is sucking up all your power while the system should be in sleep...
Strange the Boost+ app didn't stop this anyway... this morning i got a message saying TripAdvisor was trying to use my GPS to frequent while system was idle so it turned it off, really happy with that, immediately blocked all GPS access for TripAdvisor as this crap should have not tried to use any recourse (I didn't have it opened for days)
It has not done this on previous nights. Last night I had "Do Not Disturb" activated for the first time. I wonder if that caused the drain.

I think that doesn't affect the battery life, check if you have installed some apps that drains your battery. Or Bt downloading apps drains battery alot too. ? good luck and nice day!

I brought this phone on first sale.
On 3-4 days of usage I realized that the battery is draining too fast on standby mode.
When I checked the battery usage following two apps keep on running 24hrs in background:
1.Google Play Services
2.OppoDolbyService
They almost consume 30% battery in background each.
I could find no way of stopping these apps.
When I sleep with 14% battery at night I always find my phone switched off in the morning.
Kindly help.
Doesn't happen in mine...
Last night it fell by 1 or 2% overnight (about 6 hours).
But then, I'm very careful about what apps I download.
Try clearing the cache of those misbehaving apps.
Good luck

Same issue here. Got my device just yesterday. Battery drain overnight was about 13%. If this is the condition now then what if when the device is older. I do have a lot of apps installed and 3 apps can auto start (else they wont work as they are messaging apps, right? ), so should I disable them as well ?

Update : So I disabled all sorts of vibration, fingerprint wake on movement detection, double tap screen on, basically disabled all sorts of sensor function, and I personally don't like the animations in these Chinese roms so I disabled that as well, phone feels snappier, Sleep mode is on, auto start apps is off for all. So after all this battery backup is great now, overnight drain is also 2-3% max. So all good.
