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.
Hi,
I owned a Huawei Ascend Mate 7 Gold 9 months ago, and I was very happy because I could use the phone for more than 2 days withouth charging. But recently, the battery started to drain VERY FAST .
For instance, if I go to sleep with the phone at 100%, when I wake up (8h later) , the battery is at 70% or less. With my investigation, I tried/found that:
-The problem is not caused by deep sleep mode, or at least "CPU Spy" shows that the phone is able to do it.
-I tried wipe (factory reset/partition/cache) with no results.
-I calibrated the battery but the problem persists, also I tried charging with 1A charger.
-"GSam Battery Monitor - Root" shows that 47% of the battery goes to "Android System" and another 20% goes to "Kernel (Android OS)".
The issue started at the last week, and the first thing I did was updating Lolipop (I was using it for more than 4 months) to Marshmallow 6.0 (B561). I don't know what do to now, ATM I'm underclocking the CPU, but that's a temporally solution. I always take the battery with a lot of care, I don't know why is happening this.
If someone could help me, I will be very thankfull .
-FULMI
same here
i have exactly the same situation with u and couldn't find a solution yet.
battery issues too
what firmware you running? I have an EU version of the phone, updated to 5.1.1 and it was dying fast. I then updated to 6.0 Malaysian rom from their website and it started to do the 2 day life. However the phone seems to just freeze and sometimes just switch off, so I am thinking of downgrading and then see if its the software or its a hardware failure. I have warranty
I couldn't find any solution yet, so I'm going to downgrage to the 4.X. I don't see benefits from Marshmallow update, also I can't hide the taskbar, so...
Actually I think I'm using CH version B561.
Edit: Fine, I can't find a downgrage pack for my version.
Hi,
I'm getting some insane levels of idle battery drain recently. A bit of background,
- US Stock
- Rooted
- SuperCID
I was having this battery drain everyday for about 2 weeks, so I wiped my phone and started fresh. Since I did, I've been slowly introducing only a few apps everyday, and the battery was perfect until today.
All I did since yesterday when it was good, was tether to my laptop for an hour, and when I noticed a few hours later that the drain was back I removed the Bluetooth pairing completely. But the drain remains.
My phone sits in an awake state with the screen off for 99% of the time.
Here are some screenshots from Better Battery Stats and Wakelock Detector which don't seem to show much apart from a Google sensor.
http://imgur.com/a/eKqjl
Desperate for help because as much as I love this phone, with this situation it is barely usable.
Some more screenshots. Wakelock Detector and Android Settings.
The only red flag I can see is something called "Significant Motion(12)" which was awake for almost 7 hours. But I've been googling this and not finding anything about it.
Another screenshot now that I am at a computer - this is from a Google Historian report from a bugreport I just generated.
Something labelled "Abort:noirq suspend of c171000.uart device failed" woke the kernel up 89696 times. Wonder if this is the "significant motion" sensor that BBS is reporting?
I have the same problem.
It's started 3 days ago and i don't know how to fix the problem.
I hope that htc would fix this problem on this weak.
If someone know how to fix this problem until htc do something, please reply.

I don't even know what the problem is - so how do you know you have the same problem?
I'm not sure this is a problem for HTC, because my phone was perfect for 3 days after resetting it. It only started again last night. If it was great for 3 days and started on the 4th, odds are that it is something about my set-up rather than a problem with the stock firmware.

I have not changed anything on my phone and the problem is surprising.
Last week I did not install apps or add files.
I also have Watsapep at the top of the table in the utilization of the battery.
android 8.0.0
software number 2.42.617.1
not rooted
stock rom
Try disabling google apps one by one
also try using your phone without wifi
I already tried disabling app by app when it first happened, and did this over 2-3 weeks basically going through all the main suspects and Google Apps.
About to go to sleep tonight, I am going to try,
1 - turning off wifi and Bluetooth and charging the phone to a decent charge level
2 - force restarting the phone after removing it from charge
3 - leaving it on the bedside table untouched until I wake up in ~7 hours
Someone with a U11+ said they need to force restart after charging, so it’s worth a shot right?
Also just posted this about the sensor in another thread. Anyone else having trouble, would appreciate if you could also try these steps,
Zico 10 said:
The ways I stumbled on this were,
1. Better Battery Stats
Under Sensors, you'll notice Google Play Services with a high percentage. Click/press it and you'll see a listing for "Sensor: Significant Motion". This to me indicates that the device thinks it is being moved and refuses to go into Doze mode.
2. Google Battery Historian
Charge your device and let it drain for a while. Then connect it to your computer and take a bug report using ADB - adb bugreport bugreport.zip .. visit an online version of the tool here https://bathist.ef.lc .. then upload the bug report. Under "kernel wake up reasons" you'll see "Abort:noirq suspend of c171000.uart device failed" with an abnormally high number.
3. Take a dumpsys of battery stats
Using ADB, after running your battery down a little, run - adb shell dumpsys batterystats > batterystats.txt .. read the file and you'll see the line I pasted above in my last post.
Would be interested to see if someone suffering from the same symptoms could try this and see if they get the same things. U11 or U11+.

With the associated battery drain I assume?
I did this overnight which actually seems to have worked,
1. Switch off Bluetooth and WiFi.
2. Charge phone (it got to 76% when I decided to sleep).
3. Remove from charger.
4. Force restart with vol down + power
Today I’ll experiment to see if I need to do the same 4 every time I charge, or if maybe it is related to only a few of these.
Overnight my battery lost only 5% in 8 hours.
When I get to work, I’ll do a battery dump to see if the noirq error is still present.
Guys today I update my google apps and the problem gone!
how your phone after the updates?
Still there. Seems to be related to charging my phone whilst Bluetooth is on.
When I disconnect from charge, I get battery drain until I charge again with Bluetooth first turned off, then restart the phone.

Found my culprit to be related to Garmin Connect, Fenix 3 watch BT connection.
Could be related to bad firmware.
Edit: Found this same error in my logs a week or two ago when I was trying to track idle drain and lack of deep sleep.
Seems to have disappeared when I disconnected my Garmin watch.
Last night I just had the first occurrence that wasn't related to Bluetooth.
The drain happened despite having Bluetooth turned off when I charged the phone, however I didn't reboot either (and haven't been doing so unless I was trying to get rid of an ongoing battery drain).
I think until we hear of a new firmware release, I'm just going to go through and turn Bluetooth off whilst charging and then restart my phone when I unplug. A minor hassle but at least a working fix.
I had the exact same problem (Significant motion) not allowing my phone to go into deep sleep. For me, just a restart helped from what I remember. Haven't seen this issue since past 4-5 days since it last happened.
I have the same problem with battery drain since the last security update. I am able to fix it temporarily by disconnecting from my huawei smart watch. I will try disconnecting BT while charging and restart after it.
Got a security update today. Hopefully this will fix the drain.
Hello
the u11+ 1.24.401.7 update was just pushed, it is said to address standby issue, my battery dump after reboot no longer contains any reference to, Abort:noirq suspend of c171000.uart device failed
Also early this week a Chrome web view update was pushed in playstore which address issues from Google's side
Hi
All of a sudden my battery started draining rapidly. See the attached screenshots for ref. I thought maybe it was a software bug since it started happening 2 days ago. I tried booting into the safe mode and the fast drain didn't stop. I also did hard reset with same result. At this point I'm thinking about getting new battery. Just wanna see if xda community has any tips if maybe I've missed something. It's just strange that this sudden degradation happened overnight.
Obviously, that draining is not normal.
In the upper left corner there is a warning that some app is running in background.
When you did the hard reset also you did a restore from some backup? Is the device warm/hot?
Sometimes it shows carrier utility or people apps running in the background. I restored from Google backup (forgot to mention in the OP). Device isn't hot at all.
i stared clean with LeeDroid ROM (had original Sprint ROM on) after wiping the data and the fast battery drain remains. at this point i'm going to replace the batter since it's not a software issue.
I'd definitely say your battery has shat itself. I'd also try something like gsam or battery info in *#*#4636#*#* to see the health of your battery. I'd be interested to know if it reports it as "good" health
It's strange but the standby seems to be better now whereas it was going fast before. Thought maybe it 'fixed' itself, however during a phone call (4min) I lost %3. That's definitely not normal 4636 is not showing any battery info. Can't find anything in gsam showing health status of the battery. Is it in pro?
If the battery drains fast during calls can be due to poor/weak network reception (the modem tries to maintain the best quality and scans the network over and over).
3 sot with 50% (or little more) battery left is a good value, in my opinion.
Oh, when recoveries are made due to some problem is better to not restore from backups. In that backup can be the app or setting that is causing the problem.
Anyway, with the last google play services (14.7.99) I also have noticed a bit more drain during standby.
Sounds like you need to replace it

I have about the same issue. The battery is draining too fast and it's very noticeable when idle, even when idle in safe mode + airplane mode it loose 20% during an 7 to 8h night. I tried all htc nougat and oreo official and unofficial roms and nothing fixed the problem.
I also used the htc diagnostic tool to determine whether my battery is "good" or not and..... according to the diagnostic tool it is "good". Notice that according to diagnostic tool the battery is defective only if it goes from 100 to less than 75% during the test. Mine goes from 100 to 93 during the test which consists in showing a kind of dark grey screen at full brightness during 1 hour.
Even with a battery rated as good I decided to sent my device for repair because it was not good.
I received the device back and it has not been repaired because it passes the diagnosric tool test. test.
So i'll replace the battery myself as soon as i'll receive my new battery.
I suggest you to run the diagnostic tool test and if you get a decrease from 100 to less than 75, they should repair it under warranty, if not, suggest you to replace the battery yourself or pay somebody to do it for you.

I already ordered the battery and will do the replacement myself if the wait times are similar to those of screen replacements. Plus everything points to a bad battery so another test with official app is pointless. Sounds like we both will be doing the swap ourselves.
So I put new battery in and the drain seems slower than before and the charging is not erratic (jumping). When I was removing back cover the black layer came off so I figured it'd be good time to try clear cover mod . I like the look but unsure if anything will interfere with the radios and such due to the missing protection.
Did anyone encounter the same problem??
Two 5ii of mine are draining too fast this month.
I don't think it's a hardware problem, but a software problem.
Anyone??

I noticed that too for a week.
It must have been some Google service update that generated a lot of unusual wakelocks.
In my case, it's gone and back to normal.
reboot your device just in case
Same here as I texted this. I've getting SOT like less than 4 hours per day even I've restricted battery on some apps and restricting background data. However the issue still persists.
Kinda agree with the Google Service Update thingy since after some play store or updates installed and the battery drainage is just absurd.
Also throttling the CPU a lot and temperature is higher than usual, almost achieving 40°C in just usual social media, browsing and working.
Worst is that I've reboot in safe mode, and multiple restarts and is still draining battery vigorously.
Hope some software or google updates can solve this issue quickly.
From my experience (see my previous post) i had the problem for about 1 week and then it went away.
And lately, I'm getting the best-ever deep sleep battery consumption during night: ~3% .
I did not tweak any app battery policy in settings and I'm using stock A12 latest update.
You may have some rogue app update that is not in tune with the correct power management posture.
I have the same issue. It seems to have been triggered by poor network connectivity or something. The first time I had this issue, I had to solve it via software repair. I'm not keen to go through the process for the second time. I have shut down and restarted my phone several times.
There have been a number of posts on Reddit recently about massive battery drain with Sony phones.
Here and here and here and here
Seems like it's a Sony Vs Google problem
I have had the same huge battery drain, with my phone going from lasting two days between charges, to now getting hot and lasting just 15 hours
When I look at running apps, I see Gooogle Play Services has 2 or 3 instancnces. Some with 13 services. In the last two weeks Play Services has used 825Mb of data. Feels like my phone has become an AV transmitter.
Hello guys, today I noticed that the battery is finally back to normal. I turned on auto-update for everything and let it update whatever it needs to at the very first place.
Hope this kind of **** don't happen ever again.
I don't have auto-update and that issue only lasted a few days
