So I have set my power saving mode to come on at 30% and for it to disable everything except wifi. The problem is that after I charge my phone back up, those settings remain disabled even though power saving mode is turned off, so I have to manually enable them each time. Is there a way around this?

What ROM and kernel is on your phone?
If you enable user specified power saving with your customized settings (30% battery => shut down everything accept wifi), and you did not disable this power saving mode, when exactly is the power saving mode disabled?
As soon as you plug in the power cable?
And is it not re-enabled automatically, after pulling the power cable out?
Sorry, but I did not exactly understand your issue.
"those settings remain disabled even though power saving mode is turned off" => Yes, that's correct. If the power saving mode is turned off, all power saving settings should be disabled.
This sounds to me like "normal" behavior.
Maybe I misunderstood something in your description.

I'm on stock 2.3.3 and KG2
And I meant that these settings do not revert themselves after I finish charging the battery. For example, at less than 30%, my power saving mode turns off syncing. But once I finish charging my phone back to 100%, the syncing is remained off, so essentially, my power saving mode never really turns itself off even after charging.
I noticed the same thing - it's very annoying to set my screen timeout to 2 minutes, and when power-save mode comes on, it gets reset to 30 seconds and stays there.
I ended up turning off almost all of the power-saving features, and setting the threshold to 5%. I'm running the stock rooted kernel with NoCIQ, so I already have a pretty substantial battery life (~24-30 hrs with normal usage and wifi at home).

Have a look at MyProfiles app from the Market.
Maybe it can help you to switch between different profiles based on system triggers.
Or use AutomateIt app to define rules when to toggle wifi, bt, gps, etc.
Just worth a try...

Thanks for the suggestion, but I kinda want to get to the root of the problem here as opposed to installing an app to mask it. Does anyone else know what's wrong with my phone?
There's nothing wrong, that's just the way it works, it change your setting when activates but doesn't change them back.
I no longer use it, since I have GPS/wifi/BT disabled unless I use them anyway.
Eventhough i turn my wifi settings to sleep when screens off my wifi is still on... how come? I installed easy battery saver i cleared the cache, choose normal mode then uninstall the app but still my problem persist... help!

Lol this is really easy, install easy battery saver from the market. I think you need to install easy task killer first. Then in the easy battery saver app, choose either general or intelligent power saving mode. There, your WiFi will turned off automatically when your phone sleeps. I use it and it works

last option left is reflash via wotanserver
same problem here, but the solution is simple.. really simple..
I take it you're on Inteli Mode right?
you just need to add the wireless widget then stop and start the wireless again
then your wireless will sleep when the display is turn off
cheers
Does anybody know if it is possible and how to make changes in registry to change the amount of battery time left for Battery saver auto turn on??? Now it is 20%. I'd like to change to 15 or 10. Maybe it's even possible to make Battery saver turn off data connection, not only auto-syncing.
Battery saver turns off data connection anyway. It only lets you use it if you manually refresh something. Else it doesn't let any data connections to be made.

I doubt this is possible. No tweak app contains such a hack and the registry tweaks thread doesn't list anything like that either. It's rather likely this is hard built into the OS.
Hi guys
My samsung galaxy s3 battery is draining freaking fast around 1% for every 3-4 minutes
I tried to reset the battery stats and monitor it using better battery stats and all but there is no wakelocks.
Is there any reason why am i having this trouble?
Is anyone else having the same trouble?
Feel free to share here.
[EDIT]: I m running custom rom jellybean criskelo.
Do you have the Facebook app installed? This has caused issues for several people with it constantly syncing.
As a test either disable fb syncing or uninstall fb and see if that improves you battery.

Also do you have GPS or Wifi on constantly or any of the usual battery draining settings. Auto sync will also cause a big battery drain.
GPS won't do anything to the battery unless you're using it. If you have the GPS symbol in the notification bar then its being used otherwise its fine to leave it on.
I have set wi-fi settings in the advanced menu to make wi-fi sleep when the phone is so it's not on 100% of the time when i don't need it. Auto sync i turn off. Brightness is down as low as it can be with auto turned off - adjust it manually if your outside. Make sure you've disabled the S Speak Wake up commands on lock screen.
These increased my battery life quite abit.
Do you take the phone in the bathroom when you shower? That drain sounds very high indeed, possible moisture damage?

Even though GPS isn't used with it switched on it will still use battery so I believe your incorrect there.
I didint install any facebook app and my syncing is switched off all the time....
Any idea why?
Are you in a low signal area? I know it's a pain but to be on the safe side I would perform a factory reset. Also In android settings under battery option what does it show is using your battery?

No, you are incorrect. He is correct. GPS isnt activated unless an app accesses it. The toggle only allows it to be used.

Ok I stand corrected apoligies for that.
Please be aware though if you use the weather widget and its allowed to use GPS, GPS will be used every hour or so to check location (or whatever your refresh period is) so please be aware its not just opening an app. Widgets like weather widget will always be able to use GPS automatically unless Auto Refresh is set to 'None'
I read something about there being a software bug specifically for the s3 a couple of days ago. Just my 2 cents

Hello, I have been searching the forums for any tips or apps people use to get the most battery life out of their HTC One and couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm not complaining too much since I am getting around 4 hours of screen time per day. But was just wondering if anyone used any apps or has a tip that they used that saw boost in saving battery usage. Thanks
juice defender
Juice Defender, Green Power, OR BatteryGuru - Made specifically from Qualcomm for Qualcomm Snapdragon processors! Tried it on my Atrix HD and it did some impressive work at saving battery.
Never used Juice Defender personally, but I did use Green Power before on my Note I, and it was great. Saved me a ton of battery.
Currently using BatteryGuru atm for the One though.
Most important thing we could get is the ability to dial down the auto brightness, it's way too bright
I use startup manager, to have non-system apps not start at boot(saves alot of battery) I also use quad-core cpu sleeper(paid) worth it "when screen is off drops to one core, setcpu with profile to drop my max frequency to 1000 when screen is off and to full when screen is on, and finally use the stock htc power saver to only kill mobile date when off, can get 2 days on idle use and about 3/4 day regular use unless playing really graphic games
ps also using team seven kernel

Agreed!
Im glad to see this thread, I was thinking about starting one like this. For the past 2 days my ONE is draining battery fast, Im at 33% right now after an overnight charge, been using it one and off all day. Im a bit lost. I just installed battery guru. Is there a good app to show where your battery usage is going? per app or process? I had a decent iPhone app for this, Im searching the Play Store now.
thanks

Greenify to hibernate all the apps causing wakelocks
Mr.s ookipy
Always keep power saver on.
I am going to give Batteryguru a try. I don't know if I am just not using Greenify right, but I don't see much difference.

Same here. If anything I feel like greenify drains more battery.
I used Carat to identify the battery drainers. Then Froze/disabled a few apps.
The real battery drainer is how much I love this freaking phone!
I do miss the task manager from my GS3 though. Wish there was a way to free RAM like it used to have.

curious... how long does it take you guys to charge your htc ones? and does it ever heat up? mine seems to be running warm from just charging.. is this normal?
DS battery saver - keeps your phone in deep sleep, most of android's battery woes come from apps randomly waking up the device to do their sync and whatnot. By default will wake the device up on a regular schedule and do a forced sync I think. Has options for whitelists so the apps you trust can still do what they want when they want. I've heard juice defender is a good one of this too, though I prefer DS battery saver for its simplicity.
Greenify - Takes a more iOS approach to apps in background. ie. it freezes them. This prevents them from consuming precious mAh
Disable location reporting (or GPS alltogether) in maps.
Disable sync for the weather/stock/news stuff in settings
Get a kernel that supports Undervolting (I prefer elementalX) and use a utility like system tuner pro to UV the everloving **** out of it. Our qualcomm chips seem to handle this particularly well.
That's all I can think of.

Greenify will only do something if the app you put onto its list was being a problem in the first place really. I suppose it works best with carat. Use the latter to identify hog apps and then greenify to deliver sweet battery saving justice to them (or uninstall them). Most android apps (at least for me) seem to be pretty good with not wrecking my battery in the background though, just sit there and wait for me to call on them again like a good app should.

Getting the battery to last longer
How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use
HTC One. HTC One power management helps to increase battery life.
In times when you need to extend the battery life more, try out some of these tips:
Check your battery usage
Monitoring your battery usage helps you identify what's using the most power so you
can choose what to do about it. For details, see Checking battery usage on page 37.
Manage your connections
§ Turn off wireless connections you're not using.
To turn on or off connections such as mobile data, Wi‑Fi, or Bluetooth, go to
Settings and tap their On/Off switches.
§ Turn GPS on only when a precise location is needed.
To prevent some apps from using GPS in the background, keep the GPS
satellites setting off. Turn it on only when you need your precise location while
using navigation or location-based apps. Go to Settings and tap Location to
turn this setting on or off.
Manage your display
Lowering the brightness, letting the display sleep when not in use, and keeping it
simple helps save battery power.
§ Use automatic brightness (the default), or manually lower the brightness.
§ Set the screen timeout to a shorter time.
38 Your first week with your new phone
§ Don't use a live wallpaper for your Home screen. Animation effects are nice to
show off to other people but they drain your battery.
Changing your wallpaper to a plain, black background can also help a little. The
less color is displayed, the less battery is used.
§ Set the web browser to auto dim the screen while webpages load. Open the
Internet app, and then tap > Settings > Accessibility > Dim screen during
page loading.
For more details, see Settings and security on page 166 and Personalizing on page
56.
Manage your apps
§ Install the latest software and application updates. Updates sometimes include
battery performance improvements.
§ Uninstall or disable apps that you never use.
Many apps run processes or sync data in the background even when you're not
using them. If there are apps that you don't need anymore, uninstall them.
If an app came preloaded and can't be uninstalled, disabling the app can still
prevent it from continuously running or syncing data. In Settings > Apps, swipe
to the All tab, tap the app, and then tap Disable.
Limit background data and sync
Background data and sync can use a lot of battery power if you have many apps
syncing data in the background. It’s recommended not to let apps sync data too
often. Determine which apps can be set with longer sync times, or sync manually.
§ In Settings, tap Accounts & sync and check what types of data are being synced
in your online accounts. When the battery is starting to run low, temporarily
disable syncing some data.
§ If you have many email accounts, consider prolonging the sync time of some
accounts.
In the Mail app, select an account, tap > Settings > Sync, Send & Receive, and
then adjust the settings under Sync schedule.
§ When you’re not traveling from one place to another, sync weather updates of
only your current location, rather than in all of your named cities. Open the
Weather app, and then tap > Edit to remove unneeded cities.
§ Choose widgets wisely.
Some widgets constantly sync data. Consider removing the ones that are not
important from your Home screen.
§ In Play Store, tap > Settings, and then clear Auto-add widgets to avoid
automatically adding Home screen widgets whenever you've installed new apps.
Also clear Auto-update apps if you're fine with updating apps from Play Store
manually.
39 Your first week with your new phone
Other tips
To squeeze in a little bit more battery power, try these tips:
§ Tone down the ringtone and media volume.
§ Minimize the use of vibration or sound feedback. In Settings, tap Sound and
choose which ones you don't need and can disable.
§ Check your apps’ settings as you may find more options to optimize the battery.

Here's a really big tip I've found from trial and error... Turn off Google Location data, best wifi performance, and turn on power saver in settings. I have auto synchronize on, auto screen brightness, and other stuff and I'm getting 15+ hours with moderate usage with 32 percent left when I plug in at night and go to bed. That's also moving in and out of 4G and lte areas and using wifi where available

I don't believe in disabling everything a smartphone is supposed to be able to do. I'd just get a basic flip phone if that was the case.
