Obviously it all depends on what you've done while the screen was turned on but it'd be an interesting statistic.
Overall battery:
26hrs on stock rom 1.8.3
16hrs on gingerblur 3.1
Both with more than 3:30hrs of display on
About 24hrs on battery with 4hr15min with the display on. I think I have a screenshot on FB, lol.
I might be on to something here then..
Am using GladiAtrix 3 b0.2, before I installed it I did a battery stats reset through CWM
(advise from KennethPenn, dev of Gingerblur):
"""- Reset battery in CWM (under Advanced)
- Drain your battery to 0 percent and let it turn the phone off, then charge it back up to 100%."""
On my phone are more than 120 apps installed. Battery Manager is on "Maximum ".
The result is fairly amazing; the display time of almost 7 hrs is under heavy use; wlan & sync constantly on, Xscope & XDA app non-stop checking, market downloads, etc!! I have never had such good battery!
I advise everyone to do the above, it really helps.

That's right, only 2g unless I need 3g for data. I'm always around a wifi though.
No task manager, android 2.2 does all that automatically.
Not sure battery manager is so aggressive, I think it takes a bit longer than 15 minutes.

6hrs is my personal best, straight stock phone.
I've just put mine on charge, prob got about 40-50 hours, mostly standby. Seems a lot but I just unpacked my charger from going away for the weekend.
Prob about 4 hours talk time, prob 3 hours web. No GPS, no wifi.
Strange thing is, the battery thing said '5 hours since unplugged' which is definately not the case, is this a known issue? 5 hours since I rebooted it maybe.
when you reboot - the time since unplugged counter is reset.
Is there a way to do the battery stats reset without CWM?

a little off topic but howd you get that 1% battery mod and not the ugly circle, this looks kinda nice sitting at 33%, can one get that without gingerblur , stock plus root would do?
on topic, i get about 2 days on a medium usage on my battery , 1.5 days on heavy, i dont think i could use another phone after getting this much battery life, i just wonder what gingerbread would do to this phone
5 1/2 hours, with 3G turned on. Although the last 45 minutes of that it was just sitting at the launcher, I was waiting for the battery to die on it. I usually average 2-3 hours, but when I charge my phone I usually still have about 50% left.
Seeing as I rarely use data, I may have to try that 2G trick. Maybe I could charge it every other day instead of each night.
My best "Screen On" time is close to 4.5 hrs running Greyblur. For those just posting "time since unplugged"..screen on time is a much better indicator for battery life imo because it means actual use. The phone sitting idle in your pocket or on your table for 48 hrs is misleading to some people because then they wonder why they're only getting 12hrs with 5hrs of actual "useage" (screen on time).
For my style of use..battery saver modes and apps don't do me any favors because then I miss out on my IM's which I rely on for most of my communication. And unfortunately 2G isn't an option any more for most of us Canadian users..as 2G has been pretty much phased out.

Apps like that only increase standby battery life. Everything else is very minimal.
And I'm not happy with the battery life either. My phone is plugged in right now and the battery is actually going down as I use it.

If it's notbthe stock charger you areblikely not using a rapid charger.
Sent from my SGH-I717R
I pull mine off the charger at 7:00 and at 3pm or so it's down to 85%, I'll put it on the charger at work until I leave around 5-6pm (mainly because I'm used to having to do this on my previous phone) and at night if I'm not using it constantly it's around 70-75% when I plug it in at bed time.
I suspect anyone getting that bad of battery life must be using it constantly, ie: Playing games, browsing, trolling facebook, etc.. Even in the "new toy" stage I'm getting great battery life.
FYI I don't have LTE, but do generally have good 4G.
You honestly can't use any phone on GPS without external power and expect that you're not going to discharge quickly. Assuming that you are running a car charger during GPS and just didn't say so, search the i-717 threads, since the topic has been well vetted on what chargers are more effective,etc. There are definite differences.

The fact that there are people out there that get really good battery life means the problem is you and not the phone. If you refresh facebook every minute of course your battery life will be crappy. apps like juicedefender are just marketing crap. as long as there are no running apps in the background that eat your battery, you do not need any juicedefender or tasker. also setting screen-off behavior to conservative on set cpu helps improve battery life.
When I first got my i717 and was using it on the stock rom I had pretty terrible battery life. I take it off the charger at 5:00am and had decent battery life (around 5 to 7 hours without GPS) but I use my phone a lot for internet/email. I think your battery life is completely normal given your usage.
Most people get about 5hrs screen on time. Total on battery ranges up to about 24hrs, but only if the screen is off at least 19 of them.

I had GPS running on my phone for 4 hours today, had blue tooth on half the time without knowing it, sending text messages, making two 5 min phone calls, checking maps, checking FML and reading a book for about an hour and drained down to about 70% and I have the brightness set at auto. I would exchange it for a new battery.
On average with several texts per hour, several 5-10 min phone calls, taking a few pics and uploading them to picasa, checking facebook, updating status and checking emails I can pull off the charger at 630am and still have 50% battery (at least) by 630pm.
I do have the juicedefender (which isn't crap, it turns off signal after so long so you aren't trolling for signals when you aren't on the phone).

I had a ss of my buddies yesterday, but can't restore mms lol. There are plenty of other ss in the note section. He was at 22+ hrs with about 4:30 of screen on and some % remaining. I have to charge around 7-9 everynight at 4-4:30 hrs screen on, but my use is pretty heavy. I sync 4 gmail accounts, a separate GV, 3 calendars, and several apps.
If yours is much worse than that, you likely have a few troublesome apps or are playing games. First, after a full charge, reset cpuspy timers, lock it, and set it down for a few hours (I know, impossible). Then check to see that your CPU has been in deep sleep about 95% of the time. If not, use better battery stats to see what has been request wakelocks. Not only the most total time, but the total number. Any app that looks outrageous, freeze it or uninstall it. For system processes that look troublesome, Google. You can often find simple tricks online that will tell you what's causing them to go crazy. Beyond that, turn off syncing of anything that isn't needed or doesn't matter (like Facebook), and uninstall stuff you never use.
Another slight help is the brightness widget (don't use the actual widget, just put the app on your homescreen, it works the same) or dimmer in market as they can both set the brightness to a value of 10 (Samsung lowest stock is 20), and even if you can't tell the difference, it helps. Jkay settings in saurom can set the auto brightness profile slightly darker than stock. Umm, and the obvious, use less Widgets, longer sync intervals, processor scaling and speed profiles, and buy a couple rapid chargers, wall and auto.
A couple things to note after seeing a few of these posts...
BT can be on, but without it searching, connected, or listening it's not active.
GPS isn't active unless its in use aand you see the icon in the notification bar. That being said, fb, websites, and many other apps that request location will activate it.

YOU MUST CALIBERATE THE BATTERY!! I have no issues I use my phone heavy all day and get 15 hours and I still have 20% left. All you have to do is
1) Charge you phone until it says "charged"
2)Leave phone plugged in and power off and let it charge until the battery meter literally says "100" (screen will sleep so you can check with volume rocker to light screen)
3) power on phone and let boot and than power off and wait till you see 100% again
4) now keep doin this and you will notice it will start displaying "100%" faster and faster usually takes 6-7 times cycling like this
5) After you do this download Battery Caliberation (root required) app from market and hit the caliberate button and boom your good to go
I do this on every android phone I own when I flash a new rom or purchase a fresh one. Everyone should do this everytime you flash a new rom and I can CONFIRM significant battery longevity on all my android phones I have done this with
You only have to do it once so just get it out the way and you'll get through a whole dayand have some juice to play with.

Just to be clear here, Tasker has nothing to do with battery life. It doesn't hurt it, nor "help" it. However, you certainly could write tasks/contexts that would decrease battery life, and there are a few scripts out there which do silly stuff like autokilling, etc... But if we're talking "battery savings", Tasker and JD do not go in the same category.
IMO JD is only useful if you're frequently in an area with no signal, like you work in a basement or deep inside of a solidly constructed building. Since you mentioned Tasker, in this context it does help me a bit on battery because my wifi turns off when I leave the house, but that's also something JD can help with. If you don't have a wifi connection it'll turn off wifi (and I believe turn it back on periodically to see if there's one available?) I don't use JD, so can't speak too much for it.

Also the battery get heated up a lot..I am goin to try out the doubling the battery trick told ages ago in xda. if it fails,I am going to the service center,
Any one got better advices?
from Engadget
'As for the battery, with a 1,650mAh cell under the hood, and some potential savings to be made from the smaller screen, it managed a reasonable six hours and 33 minutes in our standard video rundown test (WiFi on, but not connected, and brightness fixed at 50 percent). In real-world use, we'd get well into the following day before we'd start getting nervous about finding a power point. If you're the sort that switches off overnight, then it might even last a full two days with moderate use.'
It's pretty strange. Without any WiFi or data activated, I get juice upto one and half a day max. With music gaming texting and taking few pictures.
I wonder how reviews stated the battery is good compared to other HTC devices.

I found the light sensor really useful - it's keeping the brightness low when the setting is on auto plus because of the proximity sensor while I'm talking the screen is off. I saw it just once spending 25% of energy after heavy gaming. I have setcpu installed which is helping the battery life while I'm not playing. See my current stats

Our screen is not that small - how many hours your screen was on during this 70% drain? Mine was around 3 hours within last discharge cycle. My point is that if you have your screen on 5-6+ hours/day 70% drain could be reasonable its 4" screen with 1,650 mAh battery anyway...

Most of the time I have SetCPU configured with 245MHz min - 600MHz max - when I'm expecting more performance e.g. when I'll play a heavy game or something I'm changing the max frequency to 1008 MHz. The JuiceDefender is configured to enable the WiFi every 5 mins while the phone is locked, and to stop all connections (including the mobile network) at night. Also I found that NOT using an auto-task killer the phone is acting faster and consuming less juice.

So I, like many others with the G2, have been experiencing inexplicable battery drain even after shutting down most services (i.e. Google Music, location tracking, CIQ, etc.).
I got my phone last friday and was getting absolute **** battery life until last night. For example, at 70% brightness with a lot of internet surfing, I wouild get aboiut 2.5 hours of screen time before the battery was at 10%. Just the other day, I went from 100% charge to 30% charge with only 1 h 35 min of screen time at 65% brightness. Two nights ago I lost 30% battery life over 6 hours while I slept! My typical usage of browsing the net saw the meter drop 1% for every 1-2 minutes of use at 70% brightness (wifi or 4G LTE)
I was about to return my phone for a replacement until I did more research on this android "mediaserver" and realized that it could possibly be the issue. Checking the default battery app showed that Mediaserver went from 15 to 25% of the total power used on those days. So i went into Google Settings > Google+ > Auto backup and shut that **** off
Bingo!!!!
I only lost 5% last night (9 hours) while I slept and today I have been using the phone for the past 4 hours with less than a 10% loss so far. Browsing the net gets me around 4-5 minutes for each 1% drop at 65% brightness. This is all on a stock ROM that was rooted to disable the CIQ. Nowadays my mediacenter usage is no higher than 3% on any given charge. I will post pictures of GSAM and the stock battery app over the next few days as I test it from a 100% charge.
good find, it will solve some battery drains but not all

what is bad battery life these days... man I remember getting 3 hours of screen time and you were a champ. Now phones last more than 2 day's with 6+ hours of screen time and people still complain it's bad or they need more juice... How long should the batteries last in these smart phones?
Sorry for the rant op.....

+1 to that. I've been getting great battery life on this phone with moderate use.

I added about 30% to my battery life by turning off Google Now and all the associated location reporting (went from charging every 2 days to every 3 days).
before running cm on my phone I use to get 7 hrs screen on time and about 20 hrs on one charge. I don't know why some ppl are having bad battery.
2 days and 5 hours of screen isn't good enough battery!

If you bothered to read my OP then you would see what I constitute as bad battery life. Namely, the intense drain while doing nothing and the lack of screen time for such a large battery. This phone is quoted by many to get around 5-7 hours of screen time regardless of what you can throw at it. Unfortunately, there are people that are experiencing drains like mine and can only get 2-3 hours of screen on time while only doing basic tasks. Most people do not experience this but the issue is quite prevalent in several other threads here.
Mediaserver can hang inexplicably, as G+ backup can too. Brth have happened to me.
Cycling the sync auto works for fixing the drain without disabling services.
Without a sc card, and even with, I recommend leaving it on.
Lose your phone, or get it stolen like my wife a couple months ago, and you'll wish it was on.

Op I read your entire post. I stated I personally haven't seen such abysmal battery life. What phone do those with battery life that's constantly draining have.. I mean vwz att d802 or etc? Maybe we can narrow down these incidences. Over night losing 30% is a lot. I usually lose 3-4% over night. I don't turn off anything. But I do use 4.4 Google search, hangout,market, and mostly all Google apps from 4.4. Could they be using less battery or draining less??

I was about to return my phone for a replacement until I did more research on this android "mediaserver" and realized that it could possibly be the issue. Checking the default battery app showed that Mediaserver went from 15 to 25% of the total power used on those days. So i went into Google Settings > Google+ > Auto backup and shut that **** off
Bingo!!!!

I think there is a setting for the Auto Backup of Google+ wherein you can do the following;
Back up photos only when there is a Wi-Fi connection available.
Back up videos only when there is a Wi-Fi connection available.
and
While charging only.
With these options, I think you will not have a problem with the battery esp while sleeping...

What do you get running CM? Is it a big difference?
Where is this setting? I looked under my google account and don't see it

I don't know people are getting that kind of battery life! I get 2.5 hours of screen time and 38 hours of total battery life for every charge. Google Now is activated (I use it often), but otherwise GPS is off, Bluetooth is off, and WIFI is on for 15+ hours a day.

guys, its not about bad batterylife but a possible battery drain you may or may not have issues with.
granted Op can state a batterydrain vs the batterydrain, or state that this doesnt affect all, but if it does, this could be it

I looked and didn't see any battery related threads on the Sprint HTC One M9 forum, so please correct me if I am mistaken and should be posting elsewhere.
When the applications were timing out (an LTE issue that appears to have been resolved or being resolved by Sprint), I noticed my battery draining. I thought it was related to those applications, but I am noticing the following:
1) Excellent battery use when phone is on standby (screen not on)
2) Battery drains at about 1% every two minutes when browsing the web, which would give about 3.33 hours of usage. I'm trying to determine if that is normal for this phone, as with the same settings the M8 was much better. It does appear to be what is being measured: http://www.trustedreviews.com/htc-one-m9-review-battery-life-call-quality-and-verdict-page-6
I am curious what others are noticing with battery usage when the phone is on and being used, for example web browsing for about ten minutes (that would appear to drain the battery by 5%)?
This is with no power saving options enabled, but I am using auto screen dim.

Screen on time of 3 hours is pretty normal. That's about all I can add. Only phones like the note and the one max got more.

Is anyone else getting better than about 3.5 hours of actual screen on time (SOT)?

Mine seems pretty good. I do run greenify and my phone is connected to wifi a lot. I also keep my brightness down. I have no problem getting through the day with moderate use. LTE certainly drains more batter which when connected to wifi I sometimes will set my phone to CDMA only since LTE is a waste to only get texts over. Comparable to my m8, running bad Boyz.
I usually can go a whole day on one charge, this is from today and I watched 2 movies and ran slacker and YouTube quite a bit today. You can also see how often the signal crapped out.
Edit: I only use data on sprint network and don't use Wi-Fi
I have noticed a dive in battery life recently. I wonder if an update is to blame.
Usage stats shows peel remote using like 17% during screen off and I never use that app. No settings go to turn it off and can't uninstall.
I'm not at all impressed or even pleased with the battery life. From off charge and sitting in my car unused for 55 minutes + 1 text and 5 minutes of browsing I dropped 7%.
I am hoping that part of it is the phone's radio problems in B41 areas causing it to work harder thus burning battery. However, I shouldn't have to disable LTE. In the general M9 forums there's a thread where it seems like 6+ hours SOT should be the acheivable, in which case it's really a bummer. I also think there's still a leak somewhere in Lollipop. My M7 on BadBoys KK would run like a champ all day and then some (like getting home with 65% after being in a crap signal area but still on wifi), but when updated to Lollipop I noticed an immediate drop in battery life, similar to what I'm seeing now. I'm lucky to get home with 30% remaining.
@ccs86 Not sure why you can't uninstall peel - I just did.
Look again. You just uninstalled the updates.

I've yet to get more than 3.5 SOT hours, while the standby time is great.
I'd love to hear feedback of ideas from anyone on Sprint that has more than 3.5 SOT hours.

3 hours is average for a phone 3.5 is pretty good actually.

brightness on auto,3g/lte on for two hours and Wi-Fi on for rest of time. I only played fallout shelter for 10 minutes. Power saver on the whole time. Can anyone help me ?
That's about what I'm getting on mine... 3-3.5hrs SOT max. 60% battery remaining with 1:38 SOT looks good to me. I see people who have the M9 that are not on Sprint posting about 5+ hours SOT. I don't know if that means there is a Sprint-specific problem, or if they are just getting really lucky.
My biggest issue is from sporadic wake lock from AudioIn / Googlequicksearchbox
I am not using a Google widget. The voice detection doesn't work with screen off, so it obviously shouldn't wakelock the phone.
