Does the one max lack a power save mode? My buddy's one has it.

I am anxious to know that myself. I googled and found this link:
http://www.htc.com/sea/support/htc-one-max/howto/436321.html
That page link answers the question completely except for one one dilemma: on my HTC One Max there is no power saver mode option to be found, in the hidden section or otherwise. Could it be that these instructions were just copied from those for the HTC One, but that option was omitted from the Max? I'm puzzled too.
I found a page in the HTC One Max help entitled, GETTING THE BATTERY TO LAST LONGER to be useful:

Going on 15 hours of regular usage. 90% on Wi-Fi.
Ok, that is strange, which version are you guys on? international? may be you could just install the apk and turn the powersaver mode..
Here is the apk
My Verizon phone has the sleep option that I use, but is there another option in the app that isn't shown in the screenshot above?

on my sprint phone, running viper rom, in settings, the first item is Power Saver, on or off..
not sure if its that way on stock..

I use greenify but happened across this...
It appears powersave kicks in automatically on the verizon Max. I hadnt really noticed because I keep my display not very bright usually. When I got my second verizon Max on which the display is kept much brighter I noticed the display dims pretty drastically at 15%. Pretty crappy that it does this because that also means it throttles the cpu and etc without me telling it to. Cant wait for kernel source...

Any idea what's up with this? Surely this isn't meant to happen. I don't even use google maps, don't think I've even opened it ever.

EDIT: Saw that there was an update pending. Installing, will report what happens.
Mine is almost always 90% display, even though I have all of the power saving options set on my Mesmerize... My battery lasts maybe 8-9 hours, but usually more like 6-7. It's terrible. Any ideas?
Its a known bug, install autostart from market and desible the autostart option for google maps. Try this and you will get a lot more battery.

sorry to revive and thread. I installed autostart, but not sure exactly how to disable the google maps or other apps. Any clue or pointers?
TIA.
Try using titanium backup (free) and freeze google maps or , if you don't use it, delete it using the same.

Whoa. Do you have the touchscreen bug fix kernel applied? Because without that CPU usage on touching the screen is way too high and that would cause a lot more battery usage. 90% is still too much though.
And yeah, I updated to the latest version and it doesn't seem to be doing any weird stuff now. I'll keep a watch over the course of the day.
this is a bug that is stated somewhere in the thread.. either Cyanmod7 or Gingerbread. both have these problems.
Im attaching some pics so that u may get idea.

hmm thnx mate but i used 3G in between ..! and is the battery life even worsen in WIFI+3G Mode ?

If you enable 3G and WiFi at the same time Android will only use one connection, first will try to connect via WiFi and if not will connect via 3G. It won't connect via WiFi AND 3G at the same time.
Yes its normal.
looks pretty similar to what I have seen on mine.
The main exception is the Awake time without the sreen being on? Maybe something still running. I found my biggest battery killer for backround apps was my Jorte / calendar running when using alarms on appointments.
stopped that and much better!
Alright thnx mate and how do u came to know that which app created problems regarding awake ?
seems to be awake for quite a bit there in the middle without the screen on. is that just music streaming??
its normal

Better Battery stats is very helpfull for seeing what is potentially eating battery life, whilst the screen is of.
This is a thread on maximising battery life - quite helpfull! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351663&highlight=better+battery+stat
This thread explains and shows what Android OS is and is not - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18140918
Here is thread for better battery stats, well worth a read all the way through the first 2 posts - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
The partial Wakelocks was the most telling for me, cant remember the exect procces now but for me it was something like: android.starting.alarm.calendar (I know thats not it exact, but it was always high!!)
Hi, i have some problems with this process, in battery use from settings, the android OS has a BIG BATTERY DRAIN, this works since the phone is unplugged, and my phone haven`t deep sleep, i lose 2-3% percent per hour in better battery stats the phone is awake ALL TIME and CPU SPY show me the lowest frequency is 384mhz and deep sleep doesn`t exist HELP ME PLEASE
Have you tried turning off all non-important services and sync , and see if that helps ??
Also there are some after market applications available on play-store that prevents such wake ups , by killing them. I couldn't recall them properly but I think they are named as Deep Sleep battery saver or something similar.
You can also use android tuner , to see what are the causes behind that.(Task manager has extensive features to look and control them.)
i havent active services (auto sync off,facebook notifications off, messenger off, gps off, google location off, etc), so i dont know what happen ill try to post some screen of my battery uses, this may help, thanks man! and sorry for my english
try some app like android tuner , it'll tell you which specific process is keeping it alive . It'l give more detailed insights into the running tasks.

Anyones knows what happen with my battery???
Can't say about it just by looking at these charts . You'' have to use some third party tool that provides monitoring of system processes . It'll give some info.
I love knock on, and it works great for me. But some people apparently have a problem with the phone turning on in their pocket. The Sprint ZV6 update supposedly has some changes included to address this problem, but how effective it will be is anyone's guess. I was recently involved in a discussion elsewhere as to whether it would be possible to use Tasker to prevent knock-on from working in your pocket, but I don't think it is.
I did discover another approach, though, that will work. Verified on the LS990 with BarRin v2, but it should work on any rooted G3 with a stock-based kernel. ( IF you have an AT&T or T-Mobile version, you can probably find this setting in HiddenMenu without using the Shortcut Master app, by entering the dialer codes as in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/mod-root-rid-lag-g3-t2819365)
Note that this will turn off both knock on and knock OFF. If you still want to use knock off, you'll need to use one of the many screen off apps in the play store, in combination with an alternate launcher like Nova or Apex.
1. Download and install Shortcut Master: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite
2. Open the app and select Search from the menu. Enter hiddenmenu in the search field, and press search.

3. Scroll down and find the row for com.lge.hiddenmenu.settings.LgSrvKnockonSetting
4. Tap that row, and then tap on "Launch"
5. Change the toggle from On to Off, then back out of Shortcut Master.
You can repeat the steps to turn it back on.
Been using this since day one. Worse idea I've ever heard of, having this enabled. I'm sure other will appreciate this too.
Thanks.
also for verizon,search knock and you should find it for verizon users
Same, I disabled this right away back in Sept using the exact method posted. But awesome tutorial, pics and all. Good work!

Marginally, yes but barely noticeable. Unless it was constantly going off in your pocket, thats a big battery waster, lol.
Just would like to share and compare our battery life stats on. What's everyone else getting? If you can please post your stats (Battery Monitor Widget or GSam Battery Monitor).

You CAN root and keep all your apps.
Not sure what you mean by that. Which apps go away when you root?

Since I haven't rooted yet I had to unlock my bootloader which wiped out everything. I'm rooted now.
Battery is really good now, shame I had to factory reset my phone. Oh well finally got a chance to unlock and root my phone.
I do good without power saver on. I do like power saver but I dislike it's widget in the middle of my lockscreen
