What kind of a charger did you buy if I may ask ? And did that have any negative effects on your battery ?

I use a old Samsung charger that I had laying around and it takes around an hour to fully charge.

I just used the standard htc charger that came with the phone and from using it with a fastcharge kernel my battery was fine
I do not remember.
I think Nokia
Charging time
Hey,
I thought the adapters should be the same ( 5V and 1A)... But I also had the feeling that the orginal HTC adapter is best...(~1,5h - 2h full charge) Even if they have to be the same, Samsung adapter seems not to fit perfectly and takeing more time...
Does anyone have experience useing battery with more mAh..?
I just installed icecode kernel. Will see how fast the phone charges up!

I wanted to get an idea of how long it takes people to charge up their phones? I have noticed that my phone takes a long time. 4 hours our more usually. I'm using the stock charger with stock battery. Any body else having this problem?

Try restarting the phone. For me after this is done, charging time improves significantly. Don't know why but it works.
My phone charges in about 4 hours or so. However, my car charger does it in half the time. It may be the lame charger that comes with the phone that is the problem.

Maybe a Powerful Charger ?
First I doubt is the port since it will charge when off. So first, are you using the sick charger, are you plugged into the wall or a computer. Also are you bad battery drain when unplugged? I would think you should go back to stock and see of it fixes it

The stock one is plenty. What he is saying is that it went bad. Try another charger and see if it works. Any micro USB charger will work.

I'm guessing you have something draining your battery. Download better battery stats and see what is eating up your battery.

You need to download better battery stats and find out what app is causing the battery drain and when you find it uninstall it

From your description it sounds like a rogue app causing a bad drain which is causing both the show charge and fast drain. So like I said get better battery stat and let's see what the app is.

This seems to be a common problem. I think the consensus is a corrupt file in your SD card. So you need to backup your external SD card and format it.

True story. It worked for me.
I know this sounds crazy but check and make sure usb debugging is off. If that doesn't work wipe ur battery stats.

Hey guys ,
As you can tell from the subject of the thread .. I'm problems with my battery .. I'm running stock Rom ! And the phone can only live for 7-8 hours at its best .. is this something normal ?

Anyone has an idea ? Would really appreciate some help .. cause this f***** up .. 7 hours ... Specially that I wake up at 7-8 am .. so by 3-4 pm the phone is dead .. HELP ME !

Try different charger eg connect micro usb on laptop and leave it charge. From time to time it's good you leave battery to "sinchronize" and leave it charging for 7-8 hours.
Maybe it's rom dependent to. Check which apps are running in background, close unneeded, disable wifi, BT and so on. Which ROM do you use?
If you have root access then try greenify. First see what exactly is consuming you battery unnecessarily and then greenify those apps.
You can also try one power guard. It actually saves battery in my opinion.

Then you can try snapdragon batteryguru. I used to use this app before I rooted my one s. I don't think it has much effect but no harm in trying. It basically reduces the app refresh time based on your usage so that much battery is saved. It will learn your usage habits for 2 days.
You may also consider rooting your device.

What do you think about this maximus hd rom ??
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
I suggest switching to an AOSP ROM, preferably CyanogenMod 11 since it's pretty stable. I was extremely unimpressed with the battery life on the stock ROM and decided to try a custom ROM. I'd never go back now. The battery life alone has proved to me that AOSP is better than Sense. Sense is bloated.
If you didn't try yet then try to empty the battery 3 times fully and always full recharge (make sure that the phone dies by itself).
For it was happening that the the battery was emptying down to few percent very fast (e.g. normal use 16hours) but when it was at 1 percent I could watch YouTube for 20min before the phone died.

I haven't used it, so I can't comment on it. I'm not really a fan of Sense though and Maximus is a Sense-based ROM.

It lasts me through a day with about 30% remaining after 9 hours of moderate usage. Not terrible but not great either, but the battery life just isn't very good in general on this phone.
Standby battery life is excellent though.

My tip that you need are to buy a new battery. I had almost 2 years old battery and the phone died after just 8 hours with minimal usage! So I decided to change the battery, now i've a 2100 mah. The phone is alive after 1,5 day with minimal usage!

also you can try BetterBatteryStats and you can see which app is draining your battery.
Catch it before it runs away from home!!
Just a joke. On a serious note..consider replacing battery
install an app called Wakelock Detector.
it's possible that you have an app installed that keeps waking up the device when not in use.
Wakelock Detector will tell you what app is doing that.
