HTC one M8 cell standby drain - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On fully stock Rom with disabled bloat. On build 2.22.401.5.
My phones WiFi was actually off(no idea why it shows on)
My phones signal was full. No background apps. Still ~2% per hour seems a lot. Any ideas?

Goto WiFi settings > 3dot> Advanced > uncheck "Scanning always available"

Completely stock. Fully charged then left in "sleep mode", 5% drain in 15hrs.

Are you rooted? Try Gsam. And gsam root companion if you're rooted. The stock battery screen says nothing useful.
Having WiFi on all the time should not drain battery. I think your problem is something else. But yeah, 2% per hour is terrible.

You want to check held awake time and times waking device in gsam... If rooted.

But yes, always scan for WiFi should be off. But in my opinion, turning off WiFi when screen is on hurts more than it helps. WiFi has to constantly connect every time you touch your phone.
Should be able to get excellent standby drain with WiFi on constantly.

gonna try gsam and let you know. i was rooted but i decided to go back to full stock, get ota etc.
i tried fully wiping, flashing stock 2.22.401.4 rom + firmware and then ota to 2.22.401.5 and restore everything from backup but the drain is still quite similar. what's surprising is, the build versions i had before, they had excellent standby time, like 2% gone after 9 hours. so its really a bummer why the battery is just slowly and painfully draining away :\

We need the time held awake and times waking device screens. If you aren't rooted, and/or haven't installed gsam root companion, you won't see those as options.
But they are the only screens that matter in this case. If you can't get them, we have no clue what's waking your device.
We need those 2 shots and a good long discharge to see what's going on.

thanks for the info. rooted my device and installed the gsam root companion. could you tell me exactly what to show as screenshots after a long discharge?

On app screen, click the drop-down and do times waking device and held awake time.

I can tell you already, with all those social apps... And especially if location is on... You're going to get average battery life at best.
You should Greenify any social apps you can, that you can live without notifications. It'll make a huge difference.

I tried a lot of things but came to the same conclusion you did. I guess with the amount of social media apps+auto sync going on it's bound to drain. However if I do come across a possible solution then I'll definitely post it here.

Post the screens I suggested still, in case there is another issue. From 100 to 10 percent or so tho ...

It was the syncing. Turned off sync and deleted some of the social apps to check.
Standby it barely drains now. Already unrooted and back to stock. Thanks for the help.

SOLUTION
i dont use mobile data but my network mode was set to gsm/wcdma/lte auto. ive noticed that whenever its set to anything thats auto, it causes standby drain trying to figure out the appropriate connection. anyways, long story short, changed network mode to GSM only and voila!

The same thing happened to me I had high battery usage from cell standby. What I did to stop the battery drain from cell standby was to turn on airplane mode and then I can still turn on wifi while airplane mode is on problem solved

Had the same problem. In my case, the main culprits were Skype and WiFi background scanning. The last two versions of Skype don't play nice at all with the android 4.4.3 update. Anyhow, after removing Skype and disabling WiFi scanning from the advance WiFi settings, battery life went back from dismal (13 hours with 5% left) to amazing (20 hours with 40% left) at the end of the day.
Hope that helps,
Cheers

I had the same issue on the latest leaked base. You might want to flash a different kernel or rom. Though I think the kernel would do the trick. The process taking up that huge amount of battery is google services. My battery drained from 100% to 14% in 4hours.

The only two way to find out are to wipe and install one app/widget at a time or to start from your base and uninstall apps/widgets until the behaviour stops because it sounds like some app/widget is stopping your phone from entering deep sleep....
Killing apps won't work because they will auto restart and autokilling won't work either because it will keep your phone from deep sleep too
It depends how long you sleep...

The OP already answered but I could have predicted it already, apps which keep the OS from sleeping don't show up, instead it shows as the infamous AndroidOS bug (or aos bug)

Btw I already assumed it was common knowledge here (since it was mentioned is several general(non tech) news sites in the Netherlands) that last week a research group published results about a tool they developed that automatically can find "wake lock"/no sleep bugs in the code for android apps and that they found that about 1 in 4 apps examined contained these bugs

Talk about WOW!
I turned my one x off fully charged this morning so I could use it when my S3's battery drained using it.
Long Story but anyways, when I tried to turn it on it was completely dead.
I guess when the phone isnt used the hardware drains the battery maybe for safety but it really made me mad sitting there with a two dead phones.
Normally I use the one x first then switch and I guess thats how I will have to do it everytime.
also the graph is wrong and i am not sure where those figures come from because it was off this morning

Battery drain on JB!

Is anyone else having big battery drain since updating to JB? I used to get 2 full days now i can't get 16 hours my phone is staying awake. I'm stock unrooted using juice defender plus. Thanks in advance.
I don't get as much battery I get about 8-14 hrs with 2-4 screen in time I use to get 10-20 hr with 3-4 hr screen on time. I hope they realise a update to help fix the issue seems like quite a few are having.

Yes. I suspect you're probably having the same problem as me. Ever since upgrading to JellyBean, the battery is horrible. Checked BetterBatteryStats, and it's because of msm_otg, it's constantly hitting the device with kernel wakelocks. If I look at CPU states, my phone has been in 384 MHz for 97% of the time, deep sleep 0% of the time. Since it's not sleeping, the battery is draining much faster.
It has something to do with USB on-the-go, but I can't figure it out.
I am having opposite experience. I am getting incredible(to me) battery life. Fully charge yesterday at 430pm and this morning after a bit of texting and calls, battery is at 80%. Pretty good and should be able to get at minimum 1.5 days usage out of it at current rate.
Also, disable Google Now. That's known to be a huge batt drainer.

Thanks, we'll see how it goes from here.
Did notice my battery was draining more before JB. Once I downloaded JB my battery seemed to drain worse. Finally figured out it was Nova launcher, so switched back to TW and battery is back to normal, with google now on, mainly just get traffic and weather for now.

I apologize for posting in the wrong section. The battery drain continues even after disabling Google Now uninstalling Facebook, pandora and other apps and turning off gps, bluetooth. Andriod OS is staying awake and killing the battery. In data usage delete apps is running in the background at 43 mb? Anyone else?
For me it started with LI3 then into JB.
I noticed Media was at the top of my list when i checked what apps were using battery.
So i ended up disabling the com.sec.android.providers.downloads and so far i think this has helped get my device back to normal battery life..

I don't like any apps that are supposed to save your battery. they usually contribute to battery drain. get better battery stats and see what's causing wakelocks. it's probably location services related to google now. when you don't need it, turn off gps AND location services

Here's a possible problem http://rootzwiki.com/topic/21871-ro...y-build-discussion/page__st__2690#entry750372
I would be more concerned with partial wakelocks first, then kernel wakelocks second
enable restrictions and make sure your wifi isn't when not needed same with your Data. if you don't have 4g, turn on only CDMA data. went from 50% every 4 hours just to 15%

Facebook has always been a huge battery drain. Especially now that messenger is integrated into it. Friendcaster Pro is much better anyway

Exact same issue for me. I will try this.
I have had severe battery drain for a few days now. I disabled google now yesterday and that didn't change anything. My phone was constantly warm. Today, I turned airplane mode on and the battery still drained. It got down to 58%. I read somewhere in this forum that the google maps update was causing some battery drain so I uninstalled the update at 58% battery life. Three hours later I had 57% battery life. So, for now I can only assume that it was google maps that was consuming my battery. I will have to try updating maps again to make this a more concrete assumption.

Abysmal battery life on JB

I updated to JB last night, fully charged my phone, unplugged it and then went to sleep. When I woke up I only had 50% battery left, previously on ICS when the phone was idle over night it used between 2-5% max.
I then charged the phone again this morning and now 3hrs 10mins later, I'm already down to 66% and I have hardly used the phone. It's showing as:
Whatsapp 36% !?!
Android OS 17%
Android System 16%
Facebook 7%
HTC Sense 6%
Mediaserver 4%
Camera 3%
Is anyone else having any problems? With ICS I would charge my phone in the morning at work and it would easily last until the following morning, unless I was heavily using Facebook or playing a game. I thought JB was supposed to improve the battery life, not make it worse.
Give it a few charging cycles before complaining.
Have you rebooted the phone since the update.?
Some apps still are not quite complitable with jb,especially with new HTC sense libs or api.

Not me personally, but it did reboot by itself randomly. It's never done that on ICS. I think I'll do as you suggest, give it another day or so. If it still hasn't improved I'll try a factory reset.
What does the Power Saver option actually do? Does it switch off all data sync, lower the screen brightness etc?
Do a full wipe. Some apps could be screwed up while updating.

3 hours and I lost 20% quick. Turn off power saver and I'm actually saving power.
Hmm I actually think power saver is an amazing feature. 2 hours gone by and I just lost 6% battery (normal usage: message, whatsapp, maps, xda). Even though typing felt weird because no vibrations.

I think they have paired the app with the screen time and gives you a total percentage.
No screen time hours is pretty ****ty.

Most likely an app that isn't backing off nicely. When an app finds your data/Wi-Fi is off is probably getting in a panic that it can't call the mothership (or download some ads!) and is waking your phone or keeping it awake constantly while it tries and tries.
That app would cause the same issue if you turned off data and Wi-Fi manually.

Phil

Try Nova, I personally find it better than Apex.
So I installed android revolution 15.0 and the battery doesn't seem to be good at all... Don't know if its a JB thing or this particual Rom. When I check the usage number on power section, it says android os has a 2 hr wake up time... I also installed betterbattery stats and I am getting this wl1271_wake under the kernel section and this weird surfaceflinger under the processes section... Any insight would be helpful, thanks
Sent from my EndeavorU using xda app-developers app
I performed a factory reset last night - well the new equivalent in JB, which is go to backup and reset the phone.
After the reset, I setup my Google, Exchange, Hotmail and Facebook sync. The only app I installed was Whatsapp. Managed to get the phone to 72% charge before unplugging and going to sleep, I also made sure the initial syncs had all completed before unplugging the charger. This time it went from 72% to 30%, so 40% used while sleeping instead of 50%.
Looking at the stats, I think the battery counters are screwed up. When I first checked this morning, it showed Whatsapp had used just 2%. 10 mins later after a couple of messages, the battery had dropped to 28% and Whatsapp then showed as 32%.
Android OS never used to show much usage, the screen was always the thirstiest, but this morning it Android OS showed as ~30% which then dropped to 22% after using Whatsapp. Perhaps this is due to the screen time being integrated into the app counters as mickfitz said.
As you can see from the pic below, Whatsapp doesn't appear to be keeping the phone alive during the night as Phil suggested:
Surely others here use Whatsapp? Is no one else getting massive battery drain since the OTA JB update?
The only other things I can think of are the company policy settings which are applied to the phone when I setup my Exchange account, or Google Now - but for this I'm just using the default settings.
[EDIT] I'm not using Power Saver mode btw and I don't want to if it shuts off data while idle - it will mean I don't receive Whatsapp alerts
[EDIT 2] I've just had a proper look at the 2nd screenshot. The line chart doesn't match up with the battery % shown. It was definitely at 72% when I went to sleep yet the chart only shows 50%. I'll leave it charging all evening and check the line chart to make sure it's at 100% then give it another go tonight.
not sure if this app will help us to get a clearer picture of what is happening..

[Q] battery problem

hi all
my htc one m8 battery is draining very fast
last time i called htc support for my issue (random reboots and also battery problems) they told me to clear cache and my device didnt start up but after charging it and getting some of the buttons for some seconds my battery worked well till now
im having battery draining issues again
what should i do about my problem?
Hi, have you tried something like Wakelock Detector from the play store?
This will show you if something is trying to wake your phone and wasting battery.
Maybe you have some rogue game or app thats trying to call home or is tuck in a loop on startup.
Also get Autostarts while you are there. you can see what is actually starting as you turn on the phone.
Could be you have a hardware problem but worth checking software first.
If all else fails, hard reset?
Sending back is the last thing you want to really.

If it's only started happening recently it would appear to be app related. Something is running in the background wasting battery.
I'd recommend something like autostarts, like the previous poster said, to check what's causing it.
If your phone's rooted, you can also use greenify to hibernate all apps that you don't want running in the background.
This is my battery status
See post 2 in this thread for general battery tips,
[Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!
Also, are you rooted? If so, get gsam root companion installed as well. Go from 100 to about 10 percent left and then do some gsam screen shots.
Especially, main screen. App screen. And from app screen drop down, times waking device and held awake time and kernel wake time.
Do you have a good signal whole not on wifi? A weak signal while on data is a killer and usually won't show in any battery stats.
?
---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 PM ----------
Keep screen as dim as you can stand, manually. Check out "display brightness" from playstore store. Great app!
And turn location off! Completely off. For now anyway.
Well my device is completly stock and i dont have root
Yesterday i tried a way to calibrate battery and today i cleared chache.(this time phonr is fine ). I will post the result when phone is 10% again

Overnight Battery Drain

I have stock rom 3.2.7, rooted, xposed installed. I use Greenify and hibernated all apps except whatsapp and also cleared recent apps before going off to sleep. I had 23% battery when i went off to sleep at 00:30. When i woke up at 06:30 my phone was switched off. When i tried to switch jt on it said charge a little before switching it on in red letters. I fail to understand reason for drain, during daytime i get satisfactory battery life. Please help/advise.
Oxygen OS have had standby battery drain issues from the very beginning. The fault is not with the settings or with any of the apps installed.
Try a custom ROM if you want better standby life, like Sultan's CM13 or AOKP.
It happened same to me last night for first time (I have OP3 from june). I fully charged phone at 23:00, went to sleep. When I woke up at 6:00, phone was warm and switched off.
Did u turn on Doze in Developers options? That might explains it.
Settings > Backup > disable Google backup. Massive battery drainer.
If you dont use Google now, disable it. (I haven't and I still get only 5-6% drain overnight)
Any Bluetooth devices syncing overnight? I have found MiBand and MiFit app to be massive drainers.
Location services: if using Google Now, turn to device only, otherwise disable
Also disable WiFi and Bluetooth scanning from location settings.
Make sure greenify is actually working. Using the broom icon to clear recents app will stop greenify, unless it is locked in recents.
Use aggressive doze in greenify
Wipe data from Google play services. Wipe dalvik and cache from twrp
Install amplify. Even if you are not using paid version, you will still be able to find out wakelocks, alarms and services
Another app I'd recommend is wakelock detector.

I did not turn it on. But eventually it was on by default

Google backup on. Google now on. Bluetooth off. Location services on.
I clear all recent apps n go off to sleep, i still get whatsapp messages after clearing it, so if whatsapp works so should Greenify.
Google stuff is on throughout the day but i dnt get drains, it's only during night, so i guess the reason should be different.
I l try aggressive doze and amplify and wipes but i guess theres something v r missing.
Thanks

Why not install better battery stats or gsam battery monitor and see what drains battery... Just create a custom reference point while going to sleep and see in the morning.

If you completely clear recents, Greenify most probably will not work. Its dev Oasisfeng himself says so.
Apart from that, a BBS idle dump is the only way to identify the culprits.

I guess its whatsapp app backup which is holding the device awake and bcking up on google driver... Not sure though just a hunch. But 12 % is too much to lose.
Just look in to Settings - Battery and if the Google Play services is in the top the process called *net_scheduler* is cause. The problem is global not only for Oneplus users.

I also own Samsung grand max and it doesn't show any battery drain overnight. And yes i can see "Google services" used my battery but not "google play services"
My Google Now is turned on and my OP3 lasted almost 3 full Days this Weekend with Just 1h SOT.
Google Now is not a huge Drainer for me. I recognized that it is useful to restart your Phone from time to time.

Please post an idle dump from BBS which will indicate which is/are the culprit/s. Also post screenshots of your Battery page in Settings of the phone and Battery History Details.
How is the mobile signal at home?

Till you reach atleast 10 posts, you will not be able to attach files or screenshots. You can upload them to a third party site and post the links here (without http or https).
You can also post an idle dump from BBS and screenshots as explained above. I will try to help to the best of my ability.
Greenify won't work if you clear recents using broom icon because that disables accessibility settings for greenify. Lock greenify in recents before using broom. Also make sure that accessibility settings, device administrator and usage access settings have been enabled for greenify.
I'd still recommend turning off Google backup

Ok last charge i got 5 hr SOT with greenify its was facebook and google play i guess. Let me test few more days ill keep reporting
I'm getting about 6% battery drain over night with wifi off whereas my Samsung Tab S2 drains only 1%. :silly:
The signal quality isn't the best where I live so that could explain the difference. I'm also using 2 sim cards. Does this mean I will consume twice the radio power?
I installed bbs. Locked Greenify and bbs in recent. Activated Greenify in accessibility and administrator. Will post results in day or two
