Battery draining even when mobile is idle. - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I experienced battery drain during night times. When I went to sleep last night I got 54% of charge left but when I woke up today I got only 21. The phone was in airplane mode and I have cleared all the running apps what might be the reason for such a drain???

There's an app called wakelock detector in the google play market, I dont think you need to be rooted. Wakelocks are things in apps that trigger them to turn on. So presumably, the more wakelocks=worse battery.

But that app requires root for Kit Kat os. Is there any other alternative methods?

If it's not rooted, start with apps. It's very likely it's an app thats bugging. It's not signal or autosync stuff as you said it was in airplane mode.

Greenify

I would probably use greenify if I was rooted as well. But I find the standby on this thing is awesome compared to other tablets I've tried and doesn't need it.

I love the standby on this thing. Not rooted or using greenify or anything. Leave it at home for 10+ hours when I'm at work on standby with wifi on and the drain is only 3-4% by the time I get back. I only charge this thing every 2-3 days at <30% with a few hours of moderate use every night at home.
Then again it's still fairly new, but its like night and day when compared to my GS3 which drains like a mofo on standby.
Easy battery saver with airplane mode on, right now I'm at 4 days standby with 5.5h screen on and still at 25%battery

No you still can, just turn on airplane and wifi and you are all set, easy battery turns out your wifi when the screens turns off and turns it back on automatically after it comes back on. Works great for me

Hangouts

Does it still cause horrible battery drain?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
Try it and find out
Last time I did it drained badly and continued after it was uninstalled
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
Don't think hangouts is the main issue, because why don't i have that drain. If hangouts was the real issue we all should get a drain. Maybe it's a combo of different things.
No battery issues here and I've been using hangouts for about a week for everything since the latest update. Actually liking it!

I've only had mine a few days but it seems about the same as mine so far. Mine probably charged faster than that actually but I wasn't using it for those 2 hours.
Hmm thanks
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It takes between 2hrs30minutes to 3hrs for full charge
Seems totally normal. If the phone is on, it will also depend on how fast its draining at the same time its charging.

Without trying to be sarcastic, don't let the phone fall to 5% . That's best.
I don't know if there's a way around that. I've never been that low.
Ive got the zerolemon battery it will stay at 1 percent for 24 hours

Only problem is it stays at 1 percent on a dim screen forever and I cant get android to properly create a battery stats file to maintain a battery of this size, Ive had it for weeks.

WiFi running on background

Ever since I update my phone to 5.1.1 the WiFi is keep running on background even though I toggle off the WiFi. I have also switch off the gps and locate my phone using WiFi when not used. This would not go away until I reboot my phone and because of that android system on battery status is mainly draining my battery. Please help me fix this. I have factory reset and clear the cache numerous time.

How is your Smart Network Switch set? Mine is off.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using XDA Premium HD app
It is off as well. And it seems like if I have WiFi connected and leave the WiFi zone then even though I toggle off it would still run in background. If I switch off before leaving the WiFi zone then it would be fine.
