Bad Battery Life?

I flashed my M8 4 days ago with ARHD 7.0 and have yet to experience this amazing battery life that every one is talking about. I was flashing from ARHD 5.0 and that battery life was pretty good. With barely any use today, I'm down to 64%. Why is this? (image below)

Go back to stock. Root and install xposed = arhd.
No gimmicks no bull**** + enjoy a good battery life.
Or maybe you just have bad signal in you're area?
And from your image your average screen on time seems to be ok. Give it few more days to settle down. If it doesn't help switch to stock. There is nothing new in arhd anyways.

[Q] Battery Life between the HTC ONE M7 and the G3?

All,
I'm thinking of picking up the G3, but with all this talk of the battery life, how is it compared to my current daily driver the Htc One M7? I'm hoping its better and not equal to the M7 right?
Any info is appreciated!

Stay with the HTC or get m8. I'm going to sell my g3. Nice phone but rubbish performance and too many issues like it not working with some aux cables

I upgraded from a m7 and I'm loving my g3 so far. If I decide to swap it for an m8 it's only for the dev support.
I'm 3 days into my g3 and battery life has been way better than my m7. I did root and remove bloat. Got 5 hrs of screen time with 30% left yesterday, never got close to that on my m7.
Any more questions about comparisons to the m7 feel free to ask

Wow, uh like 99 out of 1oo reviews say the g3 performs great. Your unique

I got my G3 on friday about midday and am on my second charge. I got 34 hrs with 4 hours of screen time and no battery saver enabled until it completely died. I need to go through a couple more full charge/discharges till the battery is fully broken in. So i would take any battery complaints with a grain of salt as the phone hasnt been out for a week so the battery hasnt been really been broken in.

also once L hits the g3 the battery life should see a good bump as well

Poor battery life after upgrade.

Hey folks, I just upgraded my 5T running stock everything to oxygen 5.1.1/Oreo 8.1.0.
Since then my battery life has tanked. WiFi background search is off, GPS off, but what a difference overnight - 20% drain. Incredible!
Kinda sorta regretting the upgrade ATM.
I know there are threads to improve battery life and I've gone through them. I know I'm not the only one with this issue.
What's the possibility that OnePlus does a me aculpa and pushes another update soon?
Any suggestions in the mean time? This phone is way too new to have me considering another one.
Thanks!

Did you have a clean installation?

I am also having bad battery compared to before the update.
Something is draining the battery in the background.

No, I just did the OTA...
Previous phones never had issues after OTA...
Had Nexus 6p, LG v20, LG G6, Samsung S4....
Frustrating because I've only had this 2 months...
Meh, guess I'll have to live with it.

Have you looked in the battery settings on what is causing the drain?
I recommend you look into Wakelocks also, there are some good apps to analyze wakelocks and getting to know what is keeping the system going to doze.

Going from Oreo to Marshmallow & Battery??????

hello there, been following this forum for ages, and a owner of a htc 10 for two weeks....
But I have a big problem....... the battery.....It really is abysmal......
I am currently on LeeDroid oreo, but have tried other roms, and come to the conclusion, the battery sucks!
I know there are kernal tweaks, but with this phone, i just like running the basic custom rom, no bells and whistles......
i am s-off and know how to downgrade/sort signal out/CID/ADB and everything, but I am reluctant to go too far back (Although I do like marshmallow)
I know on other phones, that going back to a previous firmware...sometimes improves the battery
but will it improve my battery????????

I went from Oreo to Nougat. Battery much improved. I was running pure stock rooted. No other mods on Nougat. Took a day to settle, but I could finally leave the house not worrying if I needed to carry a USB cable with me for a charge.

And overnight, do you notice any abnormal discharge? As much as 25/30%? or less?
I have this much of a discharge on nougat and on oreo... Did not noticed much of a difference on both FW tbh... As i bought this phone 2nd hand about a month ago, it was already on N and never tested it on MM to tell if there is any difference.
Our luck is the fast charge capability this phone has...

No, maybe like 2 - 3% at most overnight.

I would say so, yes I had problems. I bought this phone 2nd hand as well. A mint Red one. Pristine condition - at least in appearance. I also have/coming from a daily driver LG V20. Which also uses same 820 chipset. So I had some kind of expectation as to what battery life around. I was kind of shocked how bad the battery was on the 10. Phone was dropping like maybe 20% overnight. In the daytime on stock before I rooted I was getting maybe 1.5 - 2 SOT hours depending on use(i'm not a heavy gamer). I had never experienced such bad battery life before on an HTC phone. I unlocked it/rooted it and started playing with mods. The most success I had was with the Helix engine. I also had some Magisk modules installed to help deep sleep. Probably improved to getting 3 - 3.5 hours SOT. There is a thread dedicated to getting better battery life on Oreo in the guides section and I'd follow that thread and try various things. Also I had done the HTC calibration a few times, and the HTC battery test just to get a sense of the battery's health. In their test, I scored an 85, so I'd say the battery was OK. Not in the area of being a replacement.
But in the end, I was curious to go back to Nougat and then maybe on to Marshmallow to see how battery life would be. Simply going down to Nougat, I was satisfied. Not quite as good as my LG V20, but close enough. Don't feel the need to go down to marshmallow for it.
Maybe in the future I'll go back to Oreo on the 10, but for the most part, Nougat is fine.
From what I've read as well, HTC sort of 'unleashed' the power of the 820 chipset in Nougat, therefore when people went from Marshmallow to Nougat they reported worst battery life but improved performance especially in gaming.

Im aware on the unleashed power htc did on N, but it just don't justify the amount of energy drained. It does not make sense to remove social or other apps from background just because you need to retain battery. Still have a one M7 and the battery still is way better than this htc, with all the apps and settings i need on both, almost a clone of my m7. Im no gamer at all, and don't use whatsup, viber, FB, g+ etc.
You are saying that just by returning from Oero to Nougat, your htc 10 battery got less discharge, like it got fixed? without any mod's?
Thanks for your time to answer me!

Yeah, for me moving back to Nougat fixed my drain problems. Keep in mind, I didn't own the phone before Oreo, so I can't say what it was like pre oreo. But I finally felt comfortable with the performance/battery life I was getting on Nougat. I can't say this will work for you, but others have reported the same. Moving back to Nougat improved battery life.
Before you do it, I'd advise to rule out a hardware problem though to save the aggrivation of downgrading. Do the HTC battery test. If you fall below 70% in the test after an hour, I'd say it might be more hardware related than software.

Good morning.
Wile i was chating with you (yesterday), finally used the htc battery test and to my surprise it went from 99% to 88% in that hour test (99 because it was off and spent that ~1% booting). So, hopefully, will experience the same as the most of you who made the downgrade.
Perhaps its some part on the process of downgrading that fixes something, maybe the format of the [persist] partition one have to wipe to recover access to the baseband (thus the imei) repairs something, a kind of file system error that makes the android system use a lot of power(?).
As i told before, if do mobile repair and to this day, after several hundred of phone fix (hard and software, various brands as lg, samsung, htc,, iDeveices and china phones, never seen this type of problem unless it was hardware problems like pmic (power management IC) due to use of bad chargers / bad cables, water damage, drop damage, etc. Got this 10 and as soon i got here (xda) immediately noticed the amount of people that had the very same problem. And we are (here on xda) just a few to the many thousands of 10 owners around the globe that don't use xda or any other forums to talk about this problem.
Going to do this downgrade today. Im eager to see the result and use my 10 finally (another agnostic hope :angel!!
Thanks!

From the latest update my battery life went from 8 SOT to max 6 too.

Yeah, battery life has taken a hit with the 5.1 update. Doesn't inspire confidence throughout the day.

with CSC SEK still waiting for this battery massacre

Been with One UI 5.1 since approx 2 weeks, better battery life for me in idle, a bit less in use but nothing bad.
My speaker seems horrible, sound is not as loud as before and less clear, it's like old gen phone. Or it's just me. But nothing has changed significantly in this release.

Sound quality has gone bonkers. Can't hear anything after update. Speakers are useless now.

If you want a parch issued for that, your best bet is to report the problem in the Samsung members app.
