thanks.
1: Your cell coverage seems to be kind of bad sometimes, it cna cause battery drain
2: Your phone is awake most of the time even with screen off, you should check your wakelocks
3: There is a thread about a mysterious battery drain, which unfortunately I got as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50467389

Hi thanks for the reply yeah my network is bad in this area never more than 2 bars of signal, I was running wakelock detector on 4.3 but obviously Google stopped the user from being able to read process data. I do have gsam battery monitor installed I will see if that turns anything up. I hope Motorola fixes the battery drain issue soon thanks for your help.

Notice how your battery drain is bad after GPS is used. See the link posted above by the other poster. My posts in that thread refer to GPS as being the culprit. It seems it may be the same in your case.
When you notice the bad battery drain try a reboot. It should fix it until GPS is next used. BTW I have noticed GPS doesn't always cause the drain to start, but it does quite often.
Are you on non-gpe device or gpe.

Hi Scott thanks for the info I didn't notice that I will fully charge tonight and then use the GPS for a little while and then stop using it to see if that causes the drain by the way my phones a standard g non gpe.
A quick update this is today's total battery life with some GPS use and Bluetooth on from 5pm connects to my car stereo.

actually with that signal level I think this is the normal drain, you got quite some screen time as well.

Ah thanks I would have got more but the phone powered down at 10% seconds after i'd posted that, calibration issue I'm guessing.

Did a bit of a GPS test this morning Scott was used for 15 mins then maps was turned off along with data so I had no other battery drain.

My personal experience is that I only get the drain when I have used GPS but I do not always get it when I have used GPS. Basically to me it seems like some intermittent GPS issue that causes the drain. I had it yesterday and rebooted. But today I have tested gps and all fine again - no drain.
Also have noticed after the latest KitKat update (the tiny 9MB update) that at times GPS can't get a lock.
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, is there an app that can tell me what is draining my battery so quickly? My phone is not lasting very long anymore.

thank you
Use Gsam. Let it run for a day or two.
I can pretty much guarantee what the problem is. After the last system update, the Android OS and Kernel are using a TON of battery, as reported by gsam. Before the update, the screen was my biggest drain, and I could easily go 16 hours with heavy usage. Now I can sometimes barely go 5 hours. I've posted about it here, but haven't had any luck:

I've heard there will be another system update shortly after the new year. I'm going to wait and see it that fixes it, if not, my phone is going to verizon for a replacement.

What will the replacement do? Will it not be on 4.4.4?
Also, I always use gsam, but the android kernel and os are usually about 10%+-.
Hi,
I am facing a lot of battery drain issue. My phone is only a month old . I have updated toemui 5 with nougat. The battery doesn't last for more than half a day. May a little more than that. I'm losing a lot of juice even when the phone is on standby.
I keep closing all apps when I get the message for power using apps. I have disabled most of the apps too from using my battery..
Someone please advice. I also feel that the charging is very slow on my device
Do you use GPS location? Data? Wifi? Do you have strange signal on your SIM?
I found these things that they consume most of the battery.
Do not close just apps but what drains the battery in standby is a lot of wifi, data and cellular..
Try to disable that settings every time you are not useing it.. evan if two sim.. disable the one not needed.. this should help..
But then again I never disable anything and still can go up to 2 days..sometimes one day and having still 40% .. are you on the latest noughat 7??

Hi,
you install Nougat manually or OTA?

I used the firmware finder and pushed the download to the official updater to update my phone.

GPS is rarely on. WiFi is on all the time. Data is usually off..
The phone is a bit quirky when it comes to battery for me. Some days, the power drain is unreal and will lose 10% per hour during standby. Other days, it will sleep all night long and only lose 2-3%. Even stranger, the days when the drain is very high, the stock battery graph shows the phone with minimal awake time. And on the days when the battery is not draining, it will show constant system wake ups when the screen is off for hours. I've only had mine for a few weeks, so I'm hoping it's just reacting to all the apps and settings I keep adjusting and will settle down over time.
I think this issue came with Nougat update... Noone complained with A6..

Many, many users complained about the battery issue on noughat 7. So me to was thinking should I risk to update to N7 or just stay on MM
Couse many users tried it and than did the roll back to MM
So I tried it to and was not having any battery drain
And with the latest noughat version like the B381 I am having or depanding on model it is the B385 or the B387 it not just adds more features like better camera options and functions but it also gives the battery drain fix many already reported that the drain is now gone.. and for me it is evan better battery on B381 then it was on B360.. much better.. like 30% better
Has anyone been able to remedy battery drain after March and June OTA updates? Any method to revert back to earlier firmware, I tried and got slapped with "binary 10 > 8 error." Has anyone had success with FDR? Safemode has no effect so far.
Admittedly I was a sleep at the wheel with this issue I allowed OTA update to G90UUESACSF1. After update, my battery life is about half. Can watch it drop while browsing. Been up for about an hour now and down 13% from a full charge under minor use. To boot, all of the progs listed "battery use" don't account for 30% of total use so far. Ahhh, good ole planned obsolescence.
Thanks in advance.

The only thing I could think of is re seating the battery.
But you would have to take apart the phone to do that

I repair these S7's daily, and it's not necessarily the firmware update but the age of the battery causing the quicker drain. Since they are about 4 years old now, the chemicals inside the cells has started to deteriorate, therefore the only solution is to replace it with a good quality battery (not a cheap $5 Ebay bootleg ones, but a $20 original!)
