Hi,
I've got an HTC One S since a few weeks (got it with the 1.57 FW I think). It's a stock one, not from a carrier. No branding.
The battery life was great, 2 to 3 days with normal use.
But yesterday evening I proceeded to the OTA update and since then, trouble began
Battery life is much, much lower. After 12 hours standing on my desk in the office, I got 10% remaining!
Anytime I switch the screen ON, I see there is some data being sent (or received) because the "arrows" are full. If I check in system panel lite, there's always 1 or 2 kb/s of traffic.
Also, the phone is a bit warm, quite often.
Has anyone else noticed this? That's rather annoying :/
Could be faulty? I have the same phone with no carrier or branding and not had any problems at all.
Like faulty hardware? Seems unlikely to me since it worked well with 1.57. Also, sending data isn't hardware related
Here are some details.
In Mobile usage, just for today (less than 24h)
"Media" has used 13MB of background data
"Android OS" has used 5MB, also background
Android OS gives no more details. Media is told to include "Download manager" "DRM protected content storage" "Media storage" and "Downloads"
This sounds like a lot of background data :/
Try an app called Badass Battery monitor. It should tell you what's eating your battery.

I have to say, this phone, at least mines, seems to have a pretty bi polar battery. It's got a case of ADHD.
For example, just the other day, I had the phone fully charged when I awoke at 9am, after playing Temple Run, surfing the web, using GPS, streaming and listening to music, playing more Temple Run, fiddling around with the OS, checking emails, sending texts, talking on the phone a bit, downloading apps, with about 25-30% brightness, I ended up with 18% battery remaining after a good 11 hours of very heavy use. I was quite pleased, considering the inordinate amount of usage I had with the phone all day.
(BTW, I use Juice Defender, which has helped tons in reducing battery drainage for almost every phone I've owned in the past 3 months, including the One S)
Yesterday, I had the phone charged at 100% when I awoke at 9am, with a little bit of use, by 12am, I had 63% remaining, same brightness, but with much much less use then the day prior. By the time 3pm hit, I was at about 30%, and by 5pm, it was drained to 18%, mostly on standby. By my estimation, that's 8 hours of usage, same brightness levels as the day before, using Juice Defender, but with much much less fiddling around with pretty much everything on the device.
I went ahead and disabled Juice Defender today to see if it would make a difference, and the battery actually got a bit worse, so I went ahead and re-enabled it and it immediately improved.
So I'm a bit perplexed, I haven't gotten any official updates, still running on the original stock build, but ultimately, I guess this is what is too be expected with an early build. Hopefully future updates WILL fix these issues and not hinder them more. Granted it's still much better then my HTC Amaze and Galaxy Nexus, which drained 4% the moment I took them off charger.
Thanks for your input, I'll check again today how the phone goes.
I played with all the settings and menus yesterday, and found something strange. In the "downloads" app, there was a "system update" download. That's quite normal since I downloaded and applied the OTA the day before. But it was referred as "ongoing", like it was still downloading a part of the OTA zip file AFTER I applied it (and rebooted a couple of times)
In phone settings, about, updates, it was also written "ongoing"
Now this is over (I don't know why and how) and the network usage seems back to normal. I'll try today to see how the battery drain is
Anyway, it's s strange the phone was still downloading the update zip file after having applied it. AND that it was downloading it on the 3G at a very lowered bitrate (like background) while I downloaded it on the wifi the day before
Anyway...
The battery life of my One S seems to have declined as well since the update. Before the update my battery lasted 2 days easily with moderate usage. Now I have 20-30% left at the end of the day from a full charge since 9am. This is with very light usage (mostly on standby from 9 to 5).
I did turn on best wifi performance recently so I just to turned that off to see if it helps but I really doubt that.
Hello guys, I have same problem, but my phone wasting energy on "phone radio" process, just look at screens below. I tried using stock Rom with last update, trickdroid, and now it happend on leedroid v.2 . Btw I changed 4 micro sim cards with several providers, but no result. I really need help with this issue, because my battery draining very very
fast...
Thank you

I had a similar problem a few days ago, using Lee´s ROM.
I noticed that the drain had something to do with autosync. As soon as I turned off autosync (leaving mobile internet on) drainage went back to normal.
I still don´t know what caused this since I only had the google account, weather and dropbox installed.
Anyway, after doing a fresh install, the problems seem to have gone.
Of course I can´t be completely certain of it until some more days of testing/usage.
I also noticed quite a few problems since the latest OTA update.
Not only does the battery drain fast, the phone also feels extremely hot when browsing on 3G.
The phone does cool down pretty quickly when turning off 3G but it feels like I burned my hands
Here are a few screenshots.

I also experienced weird things when connected to EDGE (2.75G).
3G (HSPA) coverage on BASE (KPN) sucks in Belgium
Look at the video below for more details.
Has anyone else experienced this yet?
http://youtu.be/3g8FLpWDAYM
I also contacted HTC about this issue and they recommended a hard reset.
Unfortunately this doesn't help at all, I still get these weird glitches
mattionline, can you get a logcat when the phone's doing this weird stuff? It looks like the Home button is being pressed repeatedly and if logcat confirms it then it's probably a hardware problem.

Do you need root to make a logcat ? My phone is not rooted and I'm not planning to do it. How can this be a hardware problem ? I never had this problem before. I'm sure that it's a software bug.

I just fixed someone else phone that had the exact same symptoms. In the end I narrowed down the problem to one of his weather apps.
He had a live wallpaper that reflected the current weather, weather on his lock screen and a beautiful widgets weather thing. I never did figure out exactly which one it was I just turned off all there and told him he was crazy.
I don't know if it's something "weather" related for you but it maybe it will help.

you don't need root, just enable usb debugging in development options and connect the phone to your pc. You need to have the android sdk installed.
Sup guys , some of you don't seem to realize that there are many reasons why your battery drains, what you might think is, "quickly". A few tips to keep minimal battery out put...1 keep brightness down, the screen itself sucks juice probably the most. 2 check your apps, some apps send and receive data and/or are kept running in the background. You might have to enable/disable setting on shove apps. 3 widgets, widgets like battery meters, CPU meters, things like this constantly refresh to keep real time info. That also eats up alot of juice . 4 Turn off WiFi or any other thing like that when your not using it. WiFi continually sucks nice. Lastly, invest in some app that will help you close apps. Basically, tweek everything you might think that the os can run without. The less your CPU has to do, the more juce you save.

This made me lol hard.
Best advice ever.
But yeah, on the 1.0 version of Leedroid I had quite some drain, too.
When I turned off autosync it went back to normale. I only had my google account, dropbox (with syncing off) and the weather thingy set up and never figured out which one was resposible.
After installing Lee´s 2.0 ROM everything is fine.
I suppose there really is something wrong with the autosync and maybe with the weather stuff in particular.
My problem didn't go away with stopping auto sync, even without it, I had a constant data flow
Anyway, I rebooted the phone twice and the issue was gone.
It happened again a few days later, after the phone did shut down because of low battery. I put it on charger and turned it on, then, I noticed the 3G arrows were always on. After I unplugged it from the charger the battery went down in 10 hours. After a reboot, problem gone...
Since then, nothing...
And please note than when the problem is here, it's media and android os using a lot of data
I have been having one S problems too - I am on my second phone after the first one became reliably unresponsive every time I turned on mobile data. More relevant to this discussion, my battery died shockingly last night. Normally it drains at a few percent an hour when I am not using it (i.e. when asleep!) but I woke this morning to find it totally dead - that is 30% plus gone in 5 hours without it being in use.
My battery never got that hot on just standby or normal texting and web use. But ever since I decided to disable stocks and stocks widget the battery got real hot like 40c and just over. I used to hover around 28-30c. Anybody else experience this?
I re enabled the stocks widget and stocks app but battery still feels hot. Well the battery was at 12% so right now I have it charging hopefully it goes back to normal temps.
I have those disabled and have no battery or temp issues. I would use an app like system panel or watchdog and see if you have a rogue app that's running.
No not forme

No issues here since disabling the junk apps.
I had the same issue and was only getting 37 minutes screen time before needing to charge the I reset the phone left all the apps there and now I am getting great battery life !
Thanks for the replies. I just put them back on ("stocks" apps) and battery temps back to normal with no overheating. Dont kniw what caused it or if it was just coincidence, regardless leaving it alone now.
edit: seems like its getting hot again. I don't think its a rogue app as I had the same apps before when it was running normal temps. its up to 35c with just texting for couple minutes. I did that before and it wouldn't get warm to the touch.
Could the battery gone bad on me???
switch it out...

When I go to account & sync and turn on auto sync. I had to re add the stocks account and then pressed sync all and the stocks isn't synching. Maybe that's why its overheating its trying to turn on but cant?
I readded the 3 "stocks" apps i had disabled is there some other way to turn them back on?
lol, stop focusing on the app removal and look at what you installed from the market.

But I haven't installed anything from the market when I started getting the hot temps. All the apps i have now are the same when it wasn't overheating.
try to freeze Sense Apps... It might help...
and dont delete the sense apks, it may crash the launcher sometimes...
Well I gave in and did a factory reset. Pain having to redo everything but I guess only way to make sure. Ill see if tomorrow it doesn't overheat. Thanks.
I have a Galaxy Note and updated to ICS about a month ago....
Like many of you I also experienced fast battery drain, around 10% or more per hour, without usage. even more when I use it. 5 hours with moderate usage.
I am on unlimited data plan so 4G is always on.
I also tried fully charging the phone before going to bed at 11pm, woke up at 6am and battery already at 20+%, that's when I was sleeping, no use at all.
For a month, I have been charging my phone 2x a day!
I was very frustrated and wanted to go back to GB.
I was researching for weeks for the solution (also, checking for ICS updates almost everyday, waiting to see if Android had found a solution already), no one seemed to have a concrete solution, some suggest resetting, formatting etc.
These were so complicated for me I didn't even dream of doing them.
3 days ago, I accidentally switched off my 4G connection.
I didn't realize that the connection was off..
I was happy to see my battery charge was still at 98% after an hour, after 2 hours, light usage 95%.
"What's happening?"
Then I saw that my 4G was off.
Now, I was thinking 4G connection was the culprit... but I wanted to explore more and see if there was an app that could be causing this....
I checked my apps that used data and nothing was on, then I checked my sync settings, This is where I found out that I had so many accounts that had SYNC ON! Twitter, facebook, gmail, samsung e-mail etc.
So, I tried an experiment.... I stopped SYNCING everything.
It worked!
For one day, maybe 12hrs. (light usage with 4G connection on, just light usage, I checked my gmail by using the refresh button) 75% left on the battery!!! Wow!!
Then I thought "come on...gmail and android? Same owner/company right? I'm going to try to turn ON the GMAIL SYNC, I'm sure there won't be a problem"
I was right!!!
Now on my second day with 4G connection ON, Sync Gmail ON, medium usage, maybe 20-30min of phone calls, 30 or more texts, email and around 10 minutes of internet surfing.
9 hours unplugged and battery only at 70%!!!
I am very happy!
Oh, last night, I think only about 8-10% of battery was used (6 or 7 hours of sleep only 8-10% used....) nice!
For those who have not tried it yet... please try it... I hope it also works for you.
I just wanted to share my experience and hopefully help others that are, i'm sure, also already so frustrated with ICS.
I apologize for the long post.
Cheers!
so in other words disabling sync for apps that use networks poorly, over a high power useage radio.
its not really a solution, more of avoiding the problem . I know sync falls under android os in the data usage. which means to disable its bg data disables it all, so the real solution is to apply bg data restrictions to sync list as well to cover all ways of data access.
evidence of this is that Facebook ignores bg data restrictions( no big surprise there)
I think there is something wrong with my twitter app?
maybe I changed my password in my home page but did not change it in my twitter app and the app kept on trying and trying to log in but can't, maybe this caused the fast battery drain?
I didn't check it yet, maybe one of these days, but now, I'm happy... I really don't need to sync twitter all the time anyway.
Guys, check your accounts and sync... let us know what happens.
OLD NEWS.
Try this. My experience is on the AT&T Skyrocket, but from the research I've done both the Skyrocket and Note have the same problem. It's probably your charger.

You have CPU Spy, so run this test to rule one thing out:
1) Charge your phone overnight.
2) When you wake up in the morning, pull it from the charger and reset the timers in CPU Spy.
3) Let the phone sit idle for a few minutes with the screen off.
4) Refresh the timers in CPU Spy.
If your phone spent significant time at 384 mhz during that idle time and none in Deep Sleep, it's your charger. If it's deep sleeping, it's not your charger (do you use more than one charger?) To further verify the problem, restart your phone, let it sit idle for a few minutes, and check CPU Spy to see if it went into deep sleep after you restarted.
I have a couple of chargers that cause my phone to never deep sleep after I charge with them. The thing that remedies it is restarting the phone or plugging in to a "working" charger. It's a know issue, there's a dedicated thread in the Note forum where someone pinpoints the issue for the Note.
I researched a lot about battery problems on this phone, so list more specifics (do you always use the same charger, charge to full, apps, widgets, etc) and I'd be glad to help. Also, when you take a screen shot of your battery life like you did, take one of your screen on time as well. Since that's your primary drain, it's a good indicator of how your battery life is. 8 hours of battery life sucks, but it's really good if 4 hours is with the screen on.
EDIT: Here's the link to a VERY informative thread on the issue for the Note: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1519084

And has worked for most Android versions.
wow.
the more stuff you have 'on' on your phone, the more battery it will use. hmmm. Do you leave GPS on when your inside a building also?
I think syncing should not be put on auto. Unless on necessary apps like email. And... email only? Facebook and what not social app, keeping track on website when you want to is prolly sufficient. Unnecessary background data mining will without doubt drain the battery.
I will PM all senior mods here on xda and suggest you for 'Elite Developer'...you deserved it like noone else

Since installing Handcent I have noticed a decrease in battery life. While it is not AWFUL, it obviously shouldn't be happening and I would like to get to the bottom of this. Today I basically left my phone on my desk all day with very little usage. 41% of my battery drain is coming from handcent and my phone has been awake all day. I received a few text messages, but I quickly responded or dismissed the notification.
I have included screenshots of my overall battery usage, specific history details and app info relative to handcent.
Has anyone noticed any issues like this?
Rooted Stock 4.0.4
try disabling the pop up and set it so it does not blink led . I think that is what I did to get it to stop draining. do you have it set as default messaging,and if so did you unchecked notifications in the stock messaging app?
Freeze the stock sms app. Should help considerably.

On my wife's droid 3, she uses handset. Once I rooted her device (after a year running stock), I froze her stock messaging app and she has noticed a noticeable increase in battery life. She uses the pop ups too, think that's why she likes it to begin with.
That's why I recommended that.

Yea this is a total opposite. I've seen a huge drop in battery life once I rooted and made the switch to handcent. I'm just going to freeze handcent until their is an update or until there is a stable full feature Jelly Bean/Cyanogen for me to switch to.
Very interesting. I'm gonna put handsent on now and see what happens...
I'll get back once I have some useful intel

i've never had this problem and have been using Hancent since i got my S3 and was using it on my DX with CM7 before that. On my DX every once and awhile I had an issue with the phone never sleeping and a reboot with fix it but never saw handcent even coming near 41% percent usage even while texting back and forth. What settings do you have? Looking at my apps list, I guess I disabled Stock SMS if that's what its called, can't find it. I do know that I set Handcent as my default text app. I also have the pop up enabled.
I just looked at my battery usage screen and Handcent doesn't even show, even after opening it to look at different messages, weird.
Maybe the problem isn't totally handcent.... I froze handcent last night and defrosted the stock messaging app. Full charge overnight. This mornign I am 4 hours since unplugged and my phone has been awake the entire time. This still doesn't explain the 41% handcent usage before I froze it though. (Stock SMS is about 9% usage today)
Yeah, I think there is an awake lock issue. I installed handsent last night and am not experiencing any major battery issues. You might want to consider a full wipe/revert back to stock and start over. Not sure though, as I have never had this issue.

The reason your phone has been awake all day is because you have wifi turned on. If wifi is on, your phone does not sleep. Also, you say you left your phone sitting all day but you texted briefly. If you use the phone briefly but only texted of course 41% will be taken by Handcent. It's a percentage of what you actively did in the past 10hours and 54 minutes, which you stated is very little of anything else, so it looks more like a battery drain than it is. If you didn't have wifi on and that was the percentage coupled with your phone being awake, then we could properly assess this. Until you re-post with wifi turned off and the same percentages remain, you are misinterpreting the screenshot of the battery profile.
That was an anecdotal story regarding the usage of the phone on a particular day. I have noticed this high percentage for over a week before posting.
I have already frozen handcent last night, but even with wifi off (followed by a battery pull) I am still in a wake lock.

Here is the breakdown of today's usage. Nothing jumps out at me (although the samsung maps process looks new to me). I'm down almost 50% in 4.5 hours on very light usage. It might not look terrible, but i had been getting PHENOMENAL battery life on this phone from getting it in July until about a week ago. I have a pretty busy day today, but I'm probably going to just put a new ROM on it Thursday...
I've read that better battery stats App is a good way to isolate wake locks, but its 3$ and if installing a new ROM/Kernel pretty soon will most likely fix the issue I don't think its worth it at the moment.
Betterbatterystats is great for checking what is causing wake locks and there is a free version for XDA members under the general Android apps forum.

Mainly look through the thread, it's long so just at last make sure you read the OP and a couple of the last pages.
I personally will charge my phone up during the day or evening to full and unplug it before I go to bed. Then in the morning check partial wake locks, processes and alarms. Alarms is my personnel favorite, showed me that latitude had turned itself on and was killing my battery!
You will need to charge up during the day I'm sure, but you should be able to cut down some problems for the long run.

Not really, but from what I've read it has to do with the OTA system. I froze mine with titanium backup. It's called sdm 1.0 if I remember correct, try freezing that and see if that fixes it.

OK. Just froze it. I'll give it an hour to see how this affects the stats. Does this negatively impact the system or text messaging in general in any way that you know of?
Anyone else seeing this? My Google App is causing severe battery drain. It's been off the charger for 3 hours, sot is 1:52 and battery is at 85%. Google is accounting for 17.4% of drain and only active for 6 minutes and background for 12h7m. I have it set to sleep when not in use. I was watching youtube this morning for 14 minutes and it only accounted for 1.3% drain.
Yesterday it accounted for 20.3% drain and only active for 6m and background 13h 21 m. Day before that 11.5% with active 7m and background 8h 14m.

Haven't noticed that on the Note 20 Ultra but on my LG V60 it was about as bad as that. I have installed Nap Time by Francisco Franco which puts the phone into a deeper doze. It's a root app but can be used without root with a few adb commands. It's one of the first apps I install on all my phones.

Has it been doing that since you got it? How long have you had it? Because usually Google is saving a lot of your stuff and creating backups in the background but you can deny background activity by going into the app and ticking the slider over to deny background activity but that might preven automatic backups and saves.

I've had it a week and a half and it's been doing that since day one when I look at history. It takes as much as 25% on some days. I cleared the cache today and hoping that may help.
It's dropped 4% since I posted and I haven't used the phone at all. That's in about 20 minutes.

That's not normal.. is there any updates to that specific app or able to tap uninstall on it to roll it back to a possible previous version?
Edit: this is the screen I'm talking about to stop background activity.
I guess it's still not showing the pictures that are being uploaded.. I'm going to talk to the owner.
I'll try rolling back any updates, but I do see when I do a general internet search that other people have had the problem with Android 10 and Samsung devices. Most have fixed it by disabling the app. But that's not an option I want to take. LOL
I've cleared cache and rebooted. I'll see if I still see a large battery drain. If so, I'll uninstall and reinstall and see if that fixes it.

By the way, do you have a ton of apps and pictures and all kinds of stuff on the phone? Because if you do the carrier's don't give very fast upload speeds and if it's trying to save a ton of data it's definitely going to take quite a while on carrier data.. I'd use a business or someone's wifi if possible so it can do it quickly.

Haven't noticed that on the Note 20 Ultra but on my LG V60 it was about as bad as that. I have installed Nap Time by Francisco Franco which puts the phone into a deeper doze. It's a root app but can be used without root with a few adb commands. It's one of the first apps I install on all my phones.

Never tried naptime is it any good?
I have package pro and killallapps installed so would i be able to use naptime along with these?
Also is it just one click does it or do you have to do your own apps to deep sleep
Thanks

I have a lot of apps disabled and yes you can still use it, don't know anything about kilallapps though. If I charge my phone to 100% before going to bed and lay it on the table until morning in 10 hours it won't lose 5%. depending on what apps you have installed may not be quite the same. And yes it puts the phone into a deep sleep. You can have it turn bluetooth, wifi and others off while in doze
