I just disabled my carrier IQ and will see if it gets better. Battery life wasn't that great but my GPS was firing off like crazy. I tried this post below and we will see what happens.

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

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.
As title says...how do I add the additional quick links to the pull menu bar (screen brightness, ringer volume, rotate)???
I've been looking and am hoping someone can help....I don't want to flash a different ROM to get them, just mod the one I'm on now. A flashable zip would be even better
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for posting this. Do you have to do anything else besides flash this? I'm pretty n00b at looking inside apks
i flashed this and I didn't get any extra settings. Any ideas? Thanks, I'm on stock rooted btw
Yeah, HTC should really offer some customization of their quick settings.
I'd personally like to see an option to put the phone in standby, like is available on some MIUI ROMs. The less I need to use the hard power button, the longer it'll last.

I think this is what I have but it's made for gingerbread 2.3.3 which works for the most part on 2.3.4 but instead of saying "of or on" it just says "1% 2%". Are you using 2.3.4?
is there an update of this zip for 2.3.4?
Thanks!

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

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!!)
Does the one max lack a power save mode? My buddy's one has it.
The max has the power saver mode of-course!

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:

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..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44914437
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...
Hi,
Just curious for the Z2, is there a way to check the fast dormancy setting? I like to turn it on if it is off.
Thanks
I just uninstalled the app.

I had this problem with my xperia Z ultra. Something to do with the 3G network which causes battery drain. Uninstalled it on that, didn't see a difference.
I use fast reboot to clear ram on my phone, and it pops up with com.sonyerricson.android.wakeup which is in fact fast dormancy.
I'm now using 4G and I guess its still running! Causing battery drain. But as I'm not rooted I can't check wakelock detector to see If it is actually draining battery.
So annoyed by this, my galaxy s3 didn't have this problem

I'm not sure what to look for since I'm not rooted to check the setting.
install Better Battery Stats and check for Alarms !

Is it listed under a different name, cant see it in the list?
You do need to be rooted but there is an uninstall option in titanium backup. See attached, albeit for a different system app
You may also be able to freeze it
Browser 4.4. is not Fast Dormancy, as I said I dont see anything fastdormany-like on my list. Of course its rooted, does TB even do anything without root?
On Android 4 I always deleted the apk, but with TB it would be more elegant.
I think that currently Fast Dormancy does a good job switching Networks.
I've deleted it now on. 726 and my network is ALWAYS active on 4g.....
So there are a lot of Wakelocks. Yes. But overall batterydrain is reduced due to better mobile network connections.
BTW here you can see fast dormancy settings for. 726 CH swisscom.
I'm on a provider that does not support ist, so I guess I could get rid of the wakelocks without any restrictions.
