First couple of days I had my M8 I noticed that my phone would sleep/hibernate like normal for a while then suddenly stay awake for the rest of the day until I reboot. Then after a while the phone would stay awake again. Checking on that behavior again I notice the time it stayed awake was approximately the time I would receive a phone call. Looking for wakelocks I did notice [d.process.media] was listed as using 148mb of data but it didn't seem to be keeping my phone awake. I moved my ringtones/notification sounds to my phone and ejected the SD card and used it sans SD card the last couple of days. Now my staying awake behavior is gone and my battery life has improved. Not sure if something was funky with my SD card, or what but the behavior is gone. Going to clean it off and put it back in and see if I see that behavior or not. Wasn't sure if anyone else has seen something similar with their phone staying awake constantly.

I know there have been multiple threads on sleep issues but I haven't found one like this one.
My phone is able to sleep but only for a certain amount of time. It seems that after I reboot my phone, it can sleep appropriately for the first 8-12 hours and the battery life is amazing during this time and only drops about 20-30%. Up time verses awake time also reflects this. However, after about 8-12 hours, the phone stops going to sleep and the awake timer never stops running. This will drain the remainder of the battery in about 10 hours. After a reboot, the phone is able to sleep again until it develops insomnia once more. Does anyone know what could be causing the phone to stay awake only after being on for several hours? I'm rooted on the stock firmware with the latest OTA. Only extra programs are Google Voice, ePocrates, and Slacker Radio.
*#*#4636#*#* was no help in tracking down the culprit. Spare Parts contributed pretty much nothing either.
Mine did this for the first time yesterday. It's hasn't done it since, but it was very weird. I checked the sleep settings and it was still set to 1 minute, but the phone would not turn itself off.
Probably an app
Same Problem...
I have tried every thing to solve this issue. Change phones; problem return. No apps other than Stock; problem returns. Syncing Exchange, Facebook, and HTC Facebook. Custom Ringtones seem to increase the speed of the error occurrence. Tried leaving them off, but the problem returned. I have changed SD cards. reformated the card, and started it fresh. I have done a factory reset between each test (at least 8 at this point). I have a suspicious that it is the contacts that are getting corrupted, but I have not been able to verify that theory.
Mine has only done it on one evening and not since.
Well here's the deal guys... I've had my INC for almost 3 years now and I think it may be on its last leg. Over the past few months, I've been experiencing a weird shutdown issue every few minutes. My phone will occasionally turn off, whether it be in sleep mode or when in use. If in use, the "Android is shutting down" message will pop up 5% of the time and the other 95% the screen just shuts off. There are no particular apps that cause it, since I could just been staring at the home screen and it still happens. If the phone is locked, the phone will not come back from sleep mode. The only way to get the phone working again is to remove the battery. I have multiple batteries and they all seem to cause it. This happens with both the SD card in and without it.
I've been using the latest nightlies of CM7 and the last 3 updates have been randomly shutting off. Frustrated and fed up, I decided to try Pon's CM10, which worked for a few hours and then started the shutdown again. I've been using the correct updated versions of Incredikernel with these.
Things I've proven that do not fix it...
-Removing SD card
-Removing Apps from SD card
-Removing battery for a few hours
-Complete reformat
-Wiping battery stats
-Installing different versions of CM.
-Removing all apps except the stock ones
-Turning on/off GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi, 3G
None of these worked and I am out of options... There are no signs of any Android OS errors that I know of. Is my phone ready to die? Please help guys! The current line of phones are not interesting enough for me to upgrade and I want to make this thing last a few more months.
*Update* I read somewhere that Pandora could be causing it. I uninstalled and so far it is staying on. 20min and counting.... I'll post an update soon.

If it does it again just try and underclock

I'd try a different SD card. That doesn't work, try to RUU back to stock and try again. Grab anything useful from alogcat?
Weird thing happened to me since saturday. Without any change of usage, my battery drains terribly fast. I didn't install any new apps or changed system settings. Today, i just listened to music via Bluetooth for about 30 minutes and battery went straight to 80%. There aren't any other noticeable wakelocks, so i'm running out of ideas what causes this drain.
Ideas, anyone?
(for the last screenshot, i set a custom reference and left the phone completely off for about 30 minutes. 5% battery drain without doing a single thing seems way to much for me)
Update: seems like the sd-card caused the issue. I removed it for about 10 minutes and re-inserted it while the device was running. Removing the SD, powering down the phone and inserting it again _before_ the phone starts seemed to help. At least i'm back at 1,4% per hour now.
Why is my android system taking so much power all of a sudden? Worrying.
Welcome to the sad party We have been discussing this in the OTA update thread as well. I've never had Android even close to Screen usage before. Now it's constantly there. And sadly no root for greenify or wakelock viewing.
Mine just started this after a very long charge. Plugged it up at like 9:00 am and it just finished about 10 minutes ago, very strange. It seems to be going back down to normal though.....
It's been higher since the last OTA update. Hopefully it will be fixed when lollipop gets released.
That happens to me on the original build maybe once a month. I just restart my phone and it goes back to normal.
Android System battry drain after OTA update
I haven't read through the other forums, so forgive me if I'm suggesting something that's been suggested elsewhere, but I was able to fix mine by disabling HDVoice..
Settings>Data Usage>Mobile Data>Enhanced 4G LTE Services
After I unchecked that I'm back to where I was pre-OTA.
All of you having Android System running at high %'s, can you answer two questions?
1) When you go to Settings> General > Battery and tap on the graph, does your Awake graph show as mostly awake (solid blue lines) when the screen is off (no lines next to Screen On)?
2) Do you have an external SD card in your phone?
I'm asking because I'm also having high Android System battery drain. My phone is also always "Awake" according to the battery graph (in other words, it isn't deep sleeping, so my battery is draining faster than it should). I just removed my external SD card for a while and now my phone is magically deep sleeping. Well, obviously not using your SD card is not an option for many people... myself included... all my music is on mine! So I'm trying a few things to allow me to keep my card in and to have my phone deep sleep. I'm just wondering if there's any similarities between me and anyone else.
UPDATE:
OK, so what I did worked.
If you have an external SD card, then do this:
1) In Settings>Applications>SD Card, I moved any checked apps to internal storage.
2) I then copied all my music, photos, videos, etc to my computer.
3) Then, with the SD card in the phone, I went to Settings>Storage and formatted the SD card.
4) I then copied the files from (2) back to the card.
After that, your phone should not only sleep better, but Android System should begin to move down the battery usage list after many hours. Just over night, it went from about 38% usage to 20% usage and is now #2 on the list. Cell Standby is now #1. By the end of the day, I expect it be even lower.

awake matches almost identical to screen time,
And i haven't tried the sd card one, although i've gotten a new one.
Anyone try this with success?

It worked for me (obviously), but it wasn't exactly meant to be a solution for everyone. Eventually, Android System became the highest drainer again, but on Lollipop, it no longer is. Again, that's for me.
Try removing the card and leaving the phone asleep (screen off and not doing anything) for a few hours. If the awake time decreases dramatically, then it may be the SD card causing problems.

I have no idea why some person thought it was a good idea to program a feature to turn your device off randomly. My one year old woke me up this morning early, I went to check my phone to see what time it was but the screen wouldn't turn on.
I left it on my nightstand with well over 50% battery when I went to sleep, no apps running like usual. My device will lose 3-4% battery over night, so no big deal at ~50% battery overnight.
Continuing with the issue, I booted the phone up to see if the battery had drained or something but it was still at 50%. After it fully booted a message popped up stating something to the fact of:
"Wondering why your phone turned off? It was turned off to rest. Your phone needs to rest to continue operating at optimum levels. Using high draining applications like navigation and video streaming can hinder system performance"
Or some kind of BS like that. I wish at 3:30am I had the forethought to screenshot the message...
Has anyone else had this happen? The thing is, I barely used my phone all day. Literally a few minutes of talking, few texts, took a few pictures and browsed a few articles using chrome.
I rely on my phone for my alarm so if this randomly happens that could be bad if my daughter sleeps in!
BTW, I'm running @santod040 stock rooted 5.0.2 full version.
Mine has done the same a few times since the OTA. I'm 100% stock
Nice when you rely on your phone for an alarm, right?
Have same problem. Has happened about 3 times since lollipop update. Fully stock. I tried cache wipe but that hasn't fixed it.
I am 100% stock as well, unrooted and S-ON. This has happened about once per week. Phone shuts down by itself and displays a message upon restart (see attached).
I've asked HTC support and they've had me try safe mode and wiping cache partition, though it sounds like it's a more widespread problem than something caused by a third-party app.
