Hello,
I received my gold p8000 three days ago. I noticed something very strange. The Battery drains when the phone is powered off.
If I fully charge my battery and then I turn the phone off (not standby, power off!), the battery drains overnight and the next morning I cannot power on the phone, I have to plug the adapter and wait ten minutes before the phone accepts to boot
I'm on stock rom 20150815 unrooted but it happens also on 20150725.
Did anyone also notice that?
No, that is strange. Is your phone getting hot while it's off. Sounds like it is not really "off"...
Sorry for the late reply, I've been very busy.
I've experimented about my issue and I found the cause. The phone was in fact very hot. It seems that the place where I hold my phone was too small and the power button was pressed down. It seems that pressing that button drains the battery pretty fast.
Thanks a lot.

OK so here is the deal.
I did the battery calibration of charging to 100 and then wipe the battery stats and then fully deplete. The following day I wanted to drain it even further down so after the phone hit zero and shut down. I then plugged it into a usb just long enough to get into recovery and then immediately unplugged it from the usb (10-15 seconds.) I just left it sitting there in recovery for AN HOUR before it shut off on it's own. I am wondering why there is that much power still left in the batteries and yet the phone still shuts down? Is there a reason the phone needs to keep that much of a reserve?
Thanks!

Well, draining a modern lithium ion battery completely is detrimental to it's lifespan, so... yes, there is a reason for the reserve.
last night, i charged my phone until it fully charged and then i played with it for about 30 minutes which cause the battery to drained 5%, i turned it off put it to the table and i slept, and then when i woke up, i turned my phone on and guess what ? it won't boot up, i plugged it in to the charger and it boot up as normally it do, so how did it happen ? i didn't even touch the phone and as a matter of fact, the phone is turned off, how on earth the battery drained ? i think it has something to do with the kernel, im currently using pa 2..99-5 and franco kernel beta r238
this has happened twice

Because it was at 5% when you shut your phone down, this was estimated. The shutdown process itself is taxing on the phone. Plus there is a natural sleep current drain on the battery when it is powered off (this is how it even knows you push the power button) I wouldnt worry

I think he meant it was at 95%
OP:
I'd assume you had a BSOD.
BSODs waste a ton of battery.
Using underclocking/undervolting/hotplugging?
How would he have a system failure drain, when the phone is turned off?

It could have crashed in the process of shutting down which would have appeared to have turned off but instead was running in a loop with the screen off and the buttons frozen.
I'm having a very interesting issue with my HTC One. When I power the phone completely off (ie: Hold power button, click power off), the battery still drains when left alone for a few hours. I'd except maybe a percentage or two drained when the phone first boots back up, but its kinda unacceptable that in ~12 hours the battery goes down 15+%!!
Last night, at 8:00PM EST, I turned off my One with a bit over 80% battery remaining. I even rebooted into recovery this time and hit power off to ensure that the phone wasn't doing some crazy deep-sleep hibernation junk. This morning, at 9:00AM I turned the phone back on and had 63% battery! About a 20% drain for 13 hours of completely powered-off sitting on a desk? I've attached a screenshot to further describe the issue. I'm at a loss for this one. With my usage, the phone honestly drains the same amount of power with the phone off than if I just left it on!
To add more confusion: When I first got the phone (Monday after the launch), I didn't have this problem. I'd turn the phone off with 100% once it was charged and 12 hours later turn it back on to 100%. A week or two into using the phone, I started seeing this. I thought it was something weird with Stock, and Googling suggested that the HTC One had some deep-sleep hibernation mode to make boots faster, but after installing CM10.2 I have the same issue. Even with powering the phone off from recovery!
Any ideas? Anyone else noticing this? Is my One defective? (I hope I don't need to send it back.......)

You have to go into settings>power and uncheck fast boot. With this check it kinda puts the phone into hibernation mode and it never totally turns off.
My solution above is for a Sense based ROM not sure what may be causing this running a CM based ROM. Kernel maybe????

I did this while still on Stock; didn't change anything. Note that I'm now on CM10.2 where Fast Boot isn't a thing. Also, powering off from recovery should negate any hibernation, which I tried last night and still saw a 20% drain in 12 hours!

CLUELESS I don't get that kinda drain with my phone being on and untouched. It may be a defective battery.

That's what I'm thinking, although what is weird is that usually batteries are either defective on day 1, or degrade over time. It's weird that in the course of a week or two I went from a seemingly perfect battery (maintained charge while powered off) to a terrible battery.
To make matters weirder: I'd expect more than terrible battery life while the phone is on, although I'm not seeing anything excessively bad. This is going to be a nightmare trying to explain to VZ, especially because I can't just tell them I've diagnosed with CM10.2 and a custom recovery. What sucks the most is I'm (more than likely) going to get a "certified like-new" phone back... ugh...

Yeah, I feel your pain GOOD LUCK:fingers-crossed:
when i power the phone off, it still drains. for example, I charge it to 100%, turn the power off and roughly 24 hours later, i turn it back on and it's down to 70%.
if i try an alternate method for powering off, it doesn't seem to drain. if I choose Boot to Recovery, then power down from TWRP....it doesn't seem to drain.
what is this phone doing? does the normal power down cause it to hibernate or something? any way to disable this?
currently i'm on paul pizz 6.01 rom. battery is brand new.
thanks

sounds like your batteries toasted. I had a bad one too. Mine would randomly reboot my phone at 50% unless i connected it to a charger. Ordered a new battery problem solved . Wasnt spendy 12 bucks plus shipping
I bought it used earlier this year. Been working flawlessly without a hint of problems. I turn it off at night because we still have a landline (VOIP). This morning it wouldn't turn on. I plugged in the charger (it was about 65% when I shut it down last night) and got no battery icon. Finally got it to start by holding power + vol down then releasing vol after about 30 seconds. The battery was at 42%. It normally loses nothing when off and even during the day drops only 20-30% (I'm a very light user.) Any thoughts? Can a battery just die (almost) spontaneously?

Did you actually see it completely power off?

Yes. It's ok so far. Has lost only 3% in almost 4 hours. Just sent a couple texts and checked something on the internet. I think I'll leave it on tonight in airplane mode.
This has been happening for a while with mine - I've had it since it was new. I powered it off last night at 100% and it was at 1% when I turned it on this AM.
I have not had the problem since my original post. Most nights I leave it on in airplane mode and it loses a few %. Don't turn it off more than once a week and have not seen the problem turning back on.
