Mmhh, what do we need? An app from Play Store, a flash.zip, OTA from HTC?

From what I understood, its already integrated in the Power Management Integrated Circuit...
Its been there, announced now...

Yeah, I believe it's been there the whole time. My One S has always charged up insanely quick!

I've read about it too.
We don't need an app or something like that.
We've used the feature all the time
I always wondered why my phone is charging so fast, but now it makes sense
sent from Viper One S 2.1 BETA

Yeah, that explains a lot.... Although I must say, my moms Xperia P also charges insanely fast - almost faster than my HOS, but its not listed on that site... Wonder why that pile of junk is charging so fast..

Dunno bout the Xperia P... It uses the NovaThor chipset unlike ours which uses Qualcomm... This list is of the qcomm devices n hence wont include the XP..
On a side note, the NovaThor chipsets are supposedly said to be power efficient n hence that might be the reason behind faster charging?
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2

Oh, I thought the P used qualcomm as well... Ah well, not that I care, its slow as hell compared to our S anyway

Guys, how long does it take for your HOS to charge from 0 to 100%? I timed mine and it became fully charged exactly after 3 hrs and 15 mins..

2.5-3h from 10% to 100%. I never let my hos run out of juice. Its like begging for a softbrick.

So 3 hrs is quite normal.. well i'm only doing the full drain to full charge atleast once a month, is it bad?
Sent from my HTC One S4 using xda-developers app

Yes, thats bad. The S is famous for not wanting to boot once the battery goes flat. Ive experienced it twice myself, resulting in having to fastboot flash the boot.img before the device started again.
Others have experienced similar, but not identical, issues.
The type if issue varies, but we can be quite sure of one thing - letting the battery run flat on the S is a bad idea.
And in general, letting a battery go flat isnt healthy. Its more healthy to start charging it when it hits 10-5% than when it hits 0% and shuts off.

AW: Quick Charge 1.0 by Qualcomm
Nope, thats perfect! Charging when ever it is possible and one charging in month from 20%-30% to full.

mine does charge in about 3 hours too. but i found it very slow? my old phone, galaxy s 1, with a bigger battery ( bought one from ebay with 1800 mah ) charged twice as fast. from 10% to 100% in about 1,5 hrs, even with original 1500mah battery it was that fast ... without that great " quickcharge " feature from qualcom. just wondering why everybody says 3 hours is fast. even a big test site here in germany ( www.chip.de ) said that the hos charge time is slow.
just saying

It take 4 hours to full charge (10% ->100%)

I have a friend who charge his iphone 4s from 0% to 100% in about 1,7- 2 hours. 3 hours is normal in my opinion. Not so fast

Depending on usage I can get a full day or more out of it, but my screen isn't on much. Battery seems very average.

Hard to say what screen on time I get at the mo cuz the one mini don't log this from what I can see, but with other battery tester apps I've used I get on average 4 and half hours. I'm a HEAVY user, and on a full charge my phone lasts from when I unplug it in the morning to almost bed time. So good enough for me. But I still bought an Anker battery pack for those extra long days, which works great with this phone. I used to own a Samsung Galaxy S1 which didn't last as long even though it has a smaller screen and lower specs.

Hmm I used betterbaterystats and got almost 4 hours of screen on.I bought the phone couple days ago and I think I should get more in the future.

My HTC one mini is good in battery life.i get screen for 14 hrs. continuously. because i don't use any multimedia applications. I only use my HTC ONE MINI to talk only.

normally if we use multimedia applications batter life may be approx 5-7hrs. if we don't use multtimedia it may be approx 10-12 hrs.

Battery Please add.. 02 cents

I owned original One, but battery was horrible. I switched to G2 and battery is the best I've had. On m8 how is battery? Did they improve it? I work at a homeless shelter and sometimes work overnights. When I do I'm basically on wifi all night. G3 is coming out with same battery but bigger screen so I'm anticipating it to get less screen time.

There is probably at least 10 threads that already talk about battery life. But I'll give my 2 cents. I leave home at 9am and don't get back until midnight. With my previous phone, it would be dead by about 2pm (I'm a heavy user). With this phone, I've never once had to charge during the day, even when I'm working in basements with no signal at all. I've never gotten home at midnight with less than 30% battery.

ive had both the G2 and now the M8. I think the G2 is still better (mAh is higher) but very comparable. Unless you're cutting it close (<10% when you go to charge your G2), then the M8 will suffice for battery life.

Battery is amazing due to 801 chip. Beats my note 3. Read some reviews - they'll say battery life is amazing.

I start the day off at 100% and goto work for 8 hours. I get a 30 minute lunch and 15 minute break which I usually browse the news and websites. At the end of the day I only used 2%. My HTC ThunderBolt would of normally been around 45% remaining at this time. Recently I was stuck at family's and watched the latest FRANKIEonPCin1080p video and a couple JackFrags videos on youtube with a bunch of browsing. ~an hour and a half and used about 15-20% from 100.

I'm at 24% right now with 5h 11m screen-on time over LTE. I've been using it very heavily and I'm projecting a total screen on time of 6h 45m.
This is with power saver mode enabled which I completely recommend. This phone lasts equally as long (on power saver) as my GS3 did with the OEM 3000mah extended battery.
It's pretty good.

[Q] What is the difference between classic Li-Ion battery and Li-Po batteries?

I've seen a lot of threads on other forums on this topic and actually didn't find the right answer to the question. It seems more of an philosophical question because some people say something and others something completely opposite. So if anybody who knows a bit more on the topic would like to describe and discuss this for a bit, I'd be really happy! =)
So: What is the difference in different aspects of normal Li-Ion batteries compared to Li-Ion Polymer batteries (like ones in our Nexus 5 devices)?

LiPo batteries are used because they can get a higher energy density in a smaller form factor, and the batteries can be "shaped" to any configuration.
The only real disadvantage is that the LiPo batteries don't typically have as good a recharge cycle life as LiIon, but that depends on so many factors that it's hard to pin down.

Thank you very much for your answers! It really helped me. So therefore I might have to change battery sooner on my nexus 5 than if it was normal Li-Ion battery? Is it possible to do it after 1 year before battery warranty goes off?

Eh, LiPo batteries typically hit 70% capacity after about 700 charge cycles. It will still be usable, but if you compare day 1 battery life to day 800 battery life, you'll see a decrease.

Hmm thank you all for your answers. Yes it's logical that battery will loose its capacity over time but it will probably do it for about 2 years. If it went really worse I could probably just take it to my provider and let them replace it. I guess it cannot be that big of a problem after all =)

By the way guys what kind of a battery lifes do you get on your nexus 5? I get around 1 day (24 hours) with up to 4 hours of screen on time. I've been pretty pleased with battery life. Though I've seen even better results under the Nexus 5 battery results topic.

Main problem in nexus 5 battery is its Heating and drainage problem in a short time.
I personally suggest you no problem in its Battery but use your phone as a phone not like a music system or as a gaming gadget always.
Do not use your phone while charging it.:good:

I am not really a hardcore user I have some apps for checking email, social networks and some news... From time to time I listen to some music or play some very light game but It is very rare I like that my phone works as I like that's why I like to be rooted and running what I want on it and optimize it differently in different moments (between performance and battery life).

Well in my case it is always different... Sometimes I get more than 4 hours of screen on time and sometimes barely 2 I guess it really depends on the mood of the battery
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Not meaning this thread, but I've seen so many heated debates on how our phones "should" be charged...and how the battery works.... But as said....if in 2 years my 6 hour screen time and 28 hours total is reduced to 5 hours screen time and 22 hours total.....that won't bother me very much.
Just enjoy the phones....forget about battery science.

noob but related question. if i am not using it, is it ok to keep it connected to the charger so it stays topped up? or better for battery longevity to run it down to say 30% or so and recharge. i am specifically talking about nexus 5. thanks.
also as one poster advised not to have it connected to charger while it is in use.....
how about when tethering (drains 6% per hour) or downloading (drains 16% per hour), keep it connected or not.
thanks again.

Battery Life Extension

To maximize battery life (I mean not how long it will last between charges but to maximize the long term lifetime of the battery - over the course of years...) you should never let the % get too low, but keep it topped off as much as possible, correct?
Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Very true...
People keep showing off screen on times by draining their batteries to 5% or below, which in turn is hurting their overall battery health..It's advised to keep charging the phone frequently whenever the opportunity presents to charge and to keep the battery levels in between 30% to 80% most of the time... Especially since it's a non removable battery here on Note 5.
Came across many articles on Web regarding this subject.
