Blinkfeed power consumption - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've disabled blinkfeed but I can still see it as a major power consumer in settings->power. How can I completely turn it off so that it doesn't drain battery?

I could be wrong but I'm fairly certain that HTC Blinkfeed is actually the launcher. So regardless if the homescreen widget is on or not, Blinkfeed is still running. Every time you navigate a screen or launch an app, it's going to show up as Blinkfeed in the app usage. There probably isn't much you can really do short of installing another launcher and seeing if it is a little better on the battery.

Eh got you, thanks a lot for clarifying this, I thought blinkfeed is just the widget. I'm pretty happy with my battery life, so I'll leave it like this. Thanks again!

[Q] Weather widget that says, "omg it's cloudy outside", what is it called?

I can't find it on the market nor do I know what's it called? Any help will be appreciated!
Did it look something like this

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

I did this using minimalistic text. The "OMG ITS" & "OUTSIDE" are done using static text and the "SUNNY" part is just current weather conditions.
If you have never used minimalistic text its an awesome app that give you loads of customisation options.
Sorry for the poor pic quality.
UNLOCK OUR BOOTLOADERS
That's exactly it!
I haven't liked any of the weather widgets until now. I love this, thanks!

it's pretty awesome but it is not very user friendly, it took me forever to figure out how to do everything.

I agree, but once you get the hang of it the possibilities are endless.

Pics don't work.
It is probably a rogue app.
Download a free app from market

If your looking for applications to see if apps are taking cpu cycles there is an android info app in the market that can show you all processes and cpu cycles...looking for something that stays near the top and thats probably the issue. Also make sure that you have google now disabled, NFC, and geolocation if you dont check in everywhere. These are built in "very nice" features but they constantly pull your phone out of deep sleep on the move...and god knows we all want 2 hours screen time :highfive:

High usage of "Stay awake" in Android OS under Battery settings.

Can you guys please post screenshots of how much battery Stay awake is eating in your system? I am running stock right now. No root, no mods. Should my phone "Stay Awake" this long when my screen is off ? Is 24% use of Android OS normal? This was overnight.
Thanks.

On my phone, if I have Google Now setup it drains my battery like crazy. Seems like it wakes it up very frequently to get location data.
So if you setup Now, that could be a cause.

I have that enabled as well, but never had this issue using GNex. I googled this issue and many suggested to install better battery stat to figure out what exactly is keep it awake. Will post the results when it collects more data and when I have the culprit.

Battery life seemingly worse even when not in use

My oneplus 3 seems to now lose battery during the day even if I don't use it all day (screen off).

Any ideas what could be eating up my battery? Looking at the battery usage, I don't see anything that jumps out, but it looks like a pretty steady decline.
Perhaps I inadvertently changed some setting?

could be ur location running in the background from google maps, u can download wakelock detector if u r rooted and that will show u what is running in the background causing battery drain, b/c u should be going into doze or download betterBatteryStats
Thanks. I did some more research, and looks like something is waking up my phone. The phone has been on my desk, not in use. So I don't think it's the fingerprint sensor.
This shows something waking my phone. From about 8 am onwards, the phone wasn't being used.

Yes your android system and play service wake your device
You can try factory reset as well
