I did dirty flash this over the old CM12s firmware, would that be the reason I'm experiencing terrible battery life now? I can't even get through a full day while the old firmware did...
Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? Otherwise what ROM would you guys recommend for great battery life without much tinkering?
I've been flat out at University and I haven't kept up with any of the ROM development.
Cheers

Hi,
I´ve been using GPE 4.4.2 for a while. It worked really good, but when 4.4.4 came out, I wanted to update it.
I did a full wipe and install of 4.4.2 afterwards upgraded to 4.4.4 and then I restores my apps.
I think I´m getting less battery life in 4.4.4 than in 4.4.2.
Also, I got a couple of random reboots during this week.
Nothing huge, but I wanted to know if I´m the only one or if somebody else is facing the same problems.
I´m on stock kernel. Does someone have another kernel and configuration to recommend for GPE? My priority is battery life.
Thanks

I'm satisfied with 4.4.4 but it's true, battery life is less than 4.4.2
Thanks, I returned to 4.4.2
When I tried aerokernel, my phone got stuck, so I decided to go back to 4.4.2
The battery drain is a problem on all 4.4.4 stock ROMs (GPe included). Motorola f'ed something up so the phone is virtually in a continuous wakelock, with the cpu stuck at full clock speed. My new phone came with the 4.4.4 update already installed, battery life is crap compared to my old one that I stubbornly kept on 4.3, which lasted 3 days in standby. The new one with 4.4.4 barely makes it to 6 hours with no use at all.
Might I suggest installing CM when the release M9 - I certainally will when (if) it gets released.
GPS issue draining battery?

I am back on 4.4.2 but I found a problem that I had in 4.4.4 also.
I normally have gps off and I just turn it on when I need to use it.
I´ve found in 4.4.2 with OSA maps and in 4.4.4 with TomTom that after I turn off the GPS, if I check the battery stats, these apps appear to consume a lot of my battery because they kept using the GPS for a lot of hours more.
Does it only happen to me?
Thanks
I have read on various forums that the latest software update has been causing problematic battery drain on the M8 and more often the Verizon version. I briefly had one about a month ago but had to return it due to some contract issues. Now I am looking to get another as I really liked it. I did however notice that the battery did drain pretty fast when I had mine. It had the latest 4.4.2 software on it. If I root it, can I install an older ROM and have the great battery life return? Are there any tips on what was causing the issue? I see AT&T actually pulled the Kitkat update due to battery issues several months ago.
Thanks for the info,
Rob
No battery drain on my device. I'm on all stock Verizon and I did a factory reset after the 4.4.4 update. Battery life is excellent and I get through a 24 hr work shift with about 20 percent battery left, about 3 hrs SOT. I'm sure you can get an older ROM version by asking in the thread of the ROM you choose if it isn't available in the OP. Many fine folks here keep old copies. Good luck buddy!

Thanks I appreciate the reply.
The oldest ROM it originally came with is 4.4.2 so I don't know how much that would help your case. Maybe the newest 4.4.4 can help if you still have problems on 4.4.2 on your new phone (if it isn't 4.4.4 already)
I've had the phone since release date and never had a battery drain issue. The battery life was great at launch and has gotten a bit better with firmware releases.
Before I had the M8 I had a Gnex. On that Gnex android 4.4.4 would cause the phone to get very warm and increased battery drain. It doesn't surprise me that it does it on the M8 as well.
I didn't see any battery drain on 4.4.2, 4.4.3, or 4.4.4.
Pfft with all the ROMs out and kernels to help who needs battery drain.
HTC One M8
After the update, my battery life dropped by an honest 50%.
I dont use my phone much and used to get 6 days on a charge, now I only get 3.
I realize that's more than most and I should not complain, but still.
I also had to reset my phone due to problems with pictures in my previously recieved texts not opening.
The reset obviously did not help my battery problem.

6 days per charge? Haha what?

It's true, I'm older & only use a phone to make calls, & a few texts.
No social media stuff or anything like that, all Forum stuff is done on a tablet or computer.
Hey guys, quick question. All the sudden I'd say over the last month or so my battery life has been horrible. I used to go a day and a half roughly with normal use until I had 20% or less battery life. All the sudden now with no changes made to the phone (no new apps, ROM, etc.) the battery life is terrible. I am lucky to get 16 hours with the same usage before the battery is 20% or less. The only change was that I bought a quick charge 2.0 charger (this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QTJZ3D0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00 ). I'd say I used this charger for about 3-4 weeks until the battery life was noticeably bad. Is it possible that this charger has actually damaged my battery and if so I am assuming it is irreversible since it is a non-removable battery? Thanks.
I have also noticed this.. but since I hadn't left it on stock ROM but for a day or so.. I cannot say that it is the new firmware or the ROM I'm using.. I have also seen a LOT of posting about this issue.. LP 5.x.x has a few bugs that are pretty bad headaches to deal with.... hopefully fixes come out for these issues... mainly (in my case anyway) battery life and data connection speeds

Thanks for the reply. I am using CleanROM 3.0 KitKat, been using it for a long time now and all the sudden it's bad now. Like I said, no changes made, I'm stumped
I'm currently using stock MM rom and I'm not really pleased with the battery life so far. I can't last a day with a full charge and the battery drains somewhat fast. Call it placebo but I really think there's something not right. I tried doing a factory reset before but the results are still the same. Now my question is, would rooting and flashing a custom rom perhaps help alleviate the battery life situation by a bit. Maybe say some kernel has better battery performance or so? I don't want to root my phone just for the sake of testing it out. I hope someone could provide some real experiences with the performances of custom roms so far. Thanks!
Rooting didn't do much to mine. Not even using Greenify
Hi
A few days ago I decided to, after using Batman ROM for well over 6 months, to try and break free from TouchWiz and also due to the fact that I was getting poor battery life on that particular ROM.
I decided to flash Resurrection Remix Nougat, however I've been experiencing increased battery loss and overheating when watching media in the YouTube app and in-browser. It also gets extremely hot during charging which it normally never did.
Is there anything I can do to solve these issues, and if not, could someone recommend a better ROM/Kernel to flash for better battery life and to reduce overheating.
Cheers,
