Today I've tried twice to complete the battery test that is found in the HTC function test toolkit whic is launched by calling *#*#3424#*#* and it never completes.. it should run at screen at maximum backlight for 1 hour of time and it gets blocked before one hour... Few moments ago I've found the phone with screen shutdown, I've unblocked it and the function test app was on the initial screen.. looking at battery stats the phone uptime was 56 minutes, with 35 minutes of screen time and 94 percent of battery... The battery performance seems quite acceptable, but I don't understand why the tests does not run for a full hour.. any suggestion?

Ditto - cannot complete test
I am hoping to find out the same ... if anybody else can complete the full hour test for their battery via the HTC function diagnostic test.
i have the HTC One and as soon as the screen goes to sleep while this test is running, it seems to cancel the test and take you back to the diagnostic menu.
So i need to sit there for an hour and keep the screen active (which don't have the time or patience for!) and i cannot disable the screen sleep/lock function due to my exchange policy (and i don't want to turn that all off)
so am curious why this test won't run as common sense would dictate??
Thanks

So what kind of battery life are you all getting?
Got to go out and about yesterday so I used my phone pretty moderately.

not good -,- wait for a better cooked ROM
Good enough!
Completed my first charge-discharge cycle (100% to 1%) on ZL. Standby drain is negligible which is pretty good! Here is the screenshot below (5hrs plus screen on time is good with moderate use = approx 1hr 3G data browsing, 40 min calling, 1hrs music, 45min hd videos, browsing pics, camera use, play store etc.)
All stock rom (not rooted) build 10.1.A.1.350. I haven't had time to update it, will do it tonight.
P.S - Screen brightness set at 30% with adapt to light checked. Stamina mode off.

Update
Hello everyone! Having posted the battery life report about 10 days back, I thought it's about time for an update on the battery life after few charge-discharge cycles. I am consistently getting 4.5 to 5.25 hrs of screen on time with about a day's standby with moderate use (no gaming). I don't know why many people @ XZ forums are complaining about battery life. Below are few screenshots showing the last cycle (100% to 1%) of battery use.
I managed 5hrs &11min screen time with 30+ hrs of standby with stamina & low battery mode on, screen @ 30% brightness with adapt to light checked. It includes:
- 3.5hrs of wi-fi (web browsing via dolphin, google play, app updates, facebook, gmail, email etc.)
- 1 hr of calling (on 3G network)
- 1 hr album viewing (including camera use)
- 30 min music playback (via earphones) with screen off
- 20 min hd video playback
- 10 text messages
I noticed that I get better browsing time with dolphin than the default chrome, and with Wi-Fi use than with 3G data. I could manage only about 2 hrs 40 min of web if using 3G data instead of wifi (with similar usage as above).
Currently on stock sony rom (build 10.1.A.1.434 India), with stock kernel, stock BL (locked), not rooted. I've only disabled a few sony apps & bloatware which I don't use. No battery tweak or mod used other than mentioned above.

Mediaserver is chewing up too much battery. If you are using a MicroSD card that has been passed among multiple phones, it may be a good time to clean it out and simplify your folder structures. Cards with too much clutter and junk data can cause Mediaserver to run excessively.

weird It's a brand new memory card I'm using...only has videos and music on it...
You ever get that battery life issue figure out? Was it the external memory card?

I ended up doing a factory reset, because my notification led was not working. That solved the media server using too much battery, really strange...anyway it's solved now.
Cool thanks for the heads up.
Hi Guys,
I would like to ask how much on the average does your media server consume in terms of battery life.
Thanks

for me it's between 18% to 21%....
Anyone installed and checked Better Battery Stats? I notice that the biggest kernel wakelock is from msm_hsic_host. I'm seeing around 17%. The N4 forums have several posts about this (unsurprising as same SOC) and it seems to be concerning modem handoff from the qualcomm chip. Not sure if this is caused by heavy network usage from an app I’ve installed or whether it’s just symptomatic of having an external modem to the SOC.
What are other people seeing under kernel wakelocks?
The batt life is quite good speaking from previous note owner. With stock rom Iv managed to get 1day yesterday with stamina on, normal phone calls, lil bit of youtube, google, poweramp and stuffs... Inshort normal usage. And today im trying to get it again, or maybe more.

True battery goes faster on LTE I hope Sony will improve the battery life on the new update is ridiculous to have a big battery and die so fast

Hi all,
I am experiencing slow speeds over Wifi, between 1.5Mbps and 2Mbps, but as soon as I toggle the Wifi on and off, the speeds go back to normal at 15Mbps.
Then few minutes or hours later, again the speeds are dropping at less than 2Mbps.
I don't have any Wifi connectivity issues or drops, just slow speeds.
It is like the N7100 doesn't wake up properly after the deep sleep, even though the Wifi is not set to go to sleep in Settings and is set to Always On.
I even used script droid to toggle the Wifi on and off every hour, but it made no difference.
My old trusted N7000 doesn't have this problem at all and it is connected to the same Linksys router running Tomato.
I am on stock ROM 4.1.2 2013N7100XXDMC3 N7100OXXDMC2 -*Poland pre rooted.
Any ideas?
Regards
Mendo

Many users are experiencing the same as you do. It's a fw bug, since it wasn't there on 4.1.1
Hopefully, Sammy will adress it in an upcoming update.
Djlucas1983; will your tip drain the battery hard..?
Update: well, turning off psm will definitely be a battery drain of biblical proportions, since the screen won't turn off....
Perhaps it's just on my GN2, but for me the tip obviously is no good. Thanx anyway...
Interesting, I found the settings and turned the Wifi PSM to OFF.
The setting is turning back to ON after a reboot but is not a big deal.
I'll report back about the speeds and battery life.
I didn't have any problems with the screen mentioned above.

When I had DMB2 firmware it drained my battery much, now I'm on the polish DMC3 And I didn't test it. Now I'm trying it and Will see how is it.

It looks like it made no difference turning the Wifi PSM to OFF.
The Wifi speeds are back to under 2Mbps once the phone goes to sleep.
As soon as I toggle the Wifi off and on the speeds are back to normal.

Same as for me (and MANY others) in other words. We'll just have to
wait & see what month Sammy decides to grace us with a new FW...
But it seems it works for me, after turning phone to sleep and wake it up, network speed is a little over 30Mbps.

Im having the exact same problem. it also occurs on the galaxy S3 and the note 10.1 by the way. and it doesnt seem to make a difference with other routers because i tried 3 different once from 3 different brands all the same.
I think it has something to do with switching between 3G and wifi in deep sleep mode or something. Because i think i only get the problem when getting home and my note 2 is recconected to the wifi while in sleep mode. switching it off and on again Always fixes the problem. and after that it keeps getting the speed for as long as im connected to the wifi.
i havent really tested it though... but when i think back of the times i got problems is Always after getting back home and then use the wifi.
Its a strange bug. cant recall when i got it the first time.
Has anyone else noticed that sometimes smart connect stays on after disconnecting the charger and drains the battery quite quickly.
I first noticed it on my old Xperia U when it was running 4.4 and thought it was just due to some of the rom's I'd installed as I never had this problem with gb or ics.
I've had my Z1 compact for a few weeks now. Updated it to 4.4 straight out of the box.
(No other mods made)
Sometimes my battery will drop from 100% in the morning to below 20% before getting home from work.
When I check in battery usage after this happens, Smart Connect would be at the top of the list and would have used a huge percentage of the battery compared to any other app.
Other times the battery life is good and Smart Connect doesn't even appear in battery usage stats.
I've stopped using Smart Connect and disabled it in settings, but I miss having my phone go into silent mode overnight when charging automatically.
Use Tasker instead. It has a lot more possibilities to automatisize your phone. It's not free, though. But either way worth the money. Battery life is in my phone no problem unless you use many locale contexts.

I never noticed that kind of syruation in my z1c. Smart connect works perfect all time. Try factory reset or wipe app cache maybe that helps

If you ever think your battery has gone down too quickly, check and see if smart connect shows up in power management

My Z1C doesn't seem to be able to go into deep sleep state.
If you look at the wakelock detector screenshots it seems there is no particular wakelock that is keeping the phone awake, but still it doesn't enter deep sleep (last screenshot).
GSam battery monitor is showing always 70+ % of the battery burned by CPU usage and it is either Kernel or Google Services. Additionally I tried to use Deepsleep Batery Saver, but it seems there is no difference in respect with deep sleep.
The attached screenshots are with Resurrection Remix 4.4.2 ROM, but I can confirm the same behavior on Paranoid Android 4.6 and latest CM11 nightly.
I believe the stock unrooted ROM was also affected but couldn't be 100% sure as I flashed almost immediately CM when I got the phone.
Since the problem persisted through different kernels/roms, could it be possible that the device is having some HW malfunction, that is preventing the controller from going into deep sleep mode, and consecutively the CPU just spending time in the kernel idle loop?
I have not backed up TA partition rolleyes and don't know if the service center will respect the warranty....
Any ideas?
It seems there is something wrong with google play services in wakelock detector check which one from GP services eat tour battery

Well there is total of 18 minutes of wakelock time from Googe Serivices. The phone has been active for 21h 35 minutes without a single second of deepsleep.
Maybe it is kernel related?

You'll need to go full stock and see if the issue persists.
resolved...
Wow guys, I feel pretty stupid. The issue was not present after flashing last stock and after careful investigation, turned out to be related to some kernel configuration that I applied after each ROM install with Device Control... :silly:
The battery life is great now and my girlfriend is enjoying some smooth cyanogenmod magic. :victory:
