I've had an HTC One Mini for about 6 months now and haven't any real problems. Last night, it decided to stop vibrating completely. After two restarts and a knock on its back, the motor seems to be working again, but it is running warm and the charge is plummeting. Just sitting on my desk it lost 40% charge in just over 2 hours and it's running warm. I've had the issue in the past where Android System was using a lot of power, but it's not being reported as anything significant this time, neither is any other app.

Better Battery Stats CPU states has 1.4GHz for 1h58m, 1.03GHz for 29m, and nothing else significant. This is from charged to current while I am at 49% battery. Screen has only been on 12m in that time, but it has been awake the entire time. The battery is at 34C in a cool room.

I'm running CyanogenMod version 11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-m4, which is Android 4.4.4. Nothing changed that I know of when the problems started.

I just noticed that the vibration is now weaker than it normally is (and was earlier today), still working, but weaker.

Any ideas?

download wakelock detector and let it run in the background for about an hour. Then check it to see which program or service is keeping your phone awake. Once you find it, kill it and wait another 15-20 minutes and check the power stats within your settings to see if the phone has stayed awake since then or not.
