Your wifi channel is controlled by your router.

It's supposed to pick a clean channel but mine never does.

I look at Wifi Analyzer, see what's really open, and set it myself.

Most routers have a web interface that begins with http://192.168 so you can do that.

thanks again which one is the phone signal graph?

There's some indication in the plot you posted (how dark the green bar is), but if you select the graph in GSam there's an option to plot battery history overlaid with phone signal strength (the default is overlaid with battery temperature, but there's a selector at the top of the graph).

GSam, graph icon second from the left at the bottom, then the phone signal button at the top as Hadron said.

Top of your graph says History - that looks like the HTC graph rather than the top of the GSam one.

Maybe I'm confused on that last part.

This is from yesterday. I also noticed sometimes when I take my phone off charge from 100% it drops straight to 94% within 1 minute. I only noticed this problem after updating to 4.3

It's been there all along, please see charging info at - http://androidforums.com/showthread.php?p=6250954

Please look over the previous posts on graphs from the last few days, let's see if your phone is staying active with the screen off and what your signal is like.

Location services, live wallpapers and letting social media update with constant notifications are not your battery's friends.

Personally, I avoid that stuff and that's it.

I don't baby anything further unless I'm out in the boonies where power is really needed for cell reception.

Wow, except for the end, that's an excellent signal. :eek:

Ok, so you're not losing anything because of that.

Do you get 4G or 3G?

gabbyevs · Nov 14, 2013

thanks im on 3g using a signal box as i used to get virtually nothing in my house

Hi, thanks for taking a minute to see if you can help me out. I have a HTC One that I have owned for approximately two weeks. Its brand new. I didn't buy it on contract or from HTC. I purchased it from a friend. I come from the iPhone line for the last 4 years and I LOVE THIS PHONE.

Anyway, on to the problem. Its all factory, I haven't rooted the phone. Yesterday when I woke after a night of charging I was at 65% and throughout the day went to "dead" and plugged in. The phone will only run while it is plugged in. The orange light is solid and it works via usb on computer as well as an outlet. I have spent 4 hours or so trying to find a thread that has this issue but I don't have the best computer skills.

Any advise to get me back on the road and this battery charging would be much appreciated.

EarlyMon · Nov 14, 2013

Hold down the power button for a good 10 seconds until it resets and reboots. You won't lose any data.

After that, power down, and try to charge for a few hours.

Use another USB cable if possible.

Those things seem to go bad easily. If yours is, no telling if it's getting enough juice.

can i ask because i know nothing about wakelocks but does this seem abnormal to you when i only used fb once today

Normal no.

Normal for Facebook, yes.

They've enjoyed a history of putting out the worst mobile apps in every way imaginable for the +3 years I've paid attention to them.

The HTC integration actually helps.

Maybe check the Play Store, search Facebook. From time to time someone will come out with an app for a while that does their stuff properly.

Sorry, it is what it is.

gabbyevs · Nov 14, 2013

thanks just though id check seems to use up more battery than anyother app

It's sadly famous for that.

22self · Nov 15, 2013

Thank you. I will give that a try right now and see if I can get some positive results

gabbyevs · Nov 15, 2013

Makes posting screen shots super easy, it's what I use. Look for the camera icon to get to your gallery.

Please give that a try.

Is this normal battery life?

InfernalByte · Nov 20, 2013

Travelling has a big impact on Battery life and I find it helps to switch data off when I do, It stops the phone from constantly having to search for a cell.

statnut · Nov 27, 2013

I'm noticing some battery issues lately, some things are keeping my phone awake, but I'm not sure how to correct it. Here's a pic I took today.

jhsrennie · Dec 19, 2013

I've just bought an HTC One on ebay, and while it's in lovely condition I'm a bit surprised by the battery life and I wonder if it was on ebay because it had a duff battery.

If I turn off wireless, data, location and NFC - so pretty much everything - and leave it unused on my desk it gets through 12-14% of the battery per day. OK, this isn't much, but my Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 use somewhere between 5% and 10% battery per day under the same circumstances so their batteries would last twice as long as the one in the HTC One.

I know this isn't a terribly representative test of the battery, but I thought it would eliminate as many variables as possible. If anyone else has done similar tests of the battery life I'd be very interested to hear how your battery compares to mine. Alternatively is there a different test (looping videos?) that would be a good test of the battery condition?

Boring details: it's an EE branded model running Android 4.3 as provided in an OTA update by EE. It's completely stock: when I got it I factory reset it and haven't installed anything except a few basic apps like ES File Explorer.
