Morning all , the past 3 days I have been noticing that my Excalibur just shuts down and won't restart unless I plug it into a power source and power on.
Has this happened to anyone else?

Sounds like you need a new battery
Thanks man - any specific one you can reccomend? Reason I am asking is cause I have seen people post different battery makes, models etc..
URL Links would be appreciated.
If that's all i have to do - it's an easy fix for a 200.00 phone!
Thank you.

Take a look on ebay i use a 1150mAh but go for the 2200mAh and you'll be impressed, if you do a search for battery on here you will see what people recomend.
If you are already on a spare phone, try giving your excalibur a full charge, and turn it off. Allow the battery to drain out completely. And if possible repeat this once or twice more. Complete power drain will improve the average life span, and can be done atleast every 3 months on all normal devices, so as to increase the lifespan

Nice, that is good to know... Never really knew that... Plus also I wanted to ask... is it bad to charge your phone everyday when it is like at 50% of battery life...
Nice question.
Think about a tank. You fill it with wet cement. And u take the wet cement for use slowly away. Almost as soon as the tank is 20-30 percent empty, the cement is filled gently again, so as not to shakeup the cement at the bottom. After a while the cement at the bottom hardens, and u cant get it out for use. And same happens with the total amount of cement u could pour in. Earlier if u needed 25 pots to fill it up, now it gets filled with 10 pots or so.
Now think about the battery with multiple cells arranged inside. You fill it up. Then u use up the top 3-4 rows of small cells, and immediately fill those cells right back. This keeps on happening. What happens is that, the cells at the lower rows are never emptied, and the charge remains static there forever, and after a while the cells just freeze up. Meaning, it is not possible anymore to fill them up, or to use up the containing charge. So when u start filling up, the battery says charged fully pretty soon, cos there are less cells to fill up, and good enough, the charge falls dead soon too.
The above analogy was true on the days on Nickel Cadmium batteries. Now a days with Lithium polymer batteries, what they say is the charge is not stationary at one particular site and keeps on revolving all inside, so there is no question of dead cells arising. Well theoretically yes, but practically what the geeks suggest is to charge the battery only after completely draining it. Well, not really feasible with our busy lifestyles, as we cannot start a day taking the 30 percent battery with us.
This is what I have been doing, Charge it up as much as I need it during the weekdays. During weekends, when I am near a powersource, I keep it until it drains as much as empty. And once every 2-3 months, I try to make it empty fullest.
So I guess, it is more of a personal choice of ease also. Though the current dictum is that, charging the batteries at whatever level is ok, experience has shown many users to allow complete drain occasionally
thanks CC.. i will try that..give it a full die out and charge it up again.
If that doesn't work i'll get a new battery.
Appreciate it!
since you seem knowledgeable on batteries... i also wanted to ask how long do the batteries typically remain "usable" to a decent amount...
Aah not at all knowledgable. All I know is my own personal experiences plus data from a million sites that I read.
The typical duration and lifespan of a battery depends mainly on the capacity first of all, the more milliamps u have, the long lasting a battery is. Also the average life depends a lot of the number of charge cycles. Means, if u r a light user, u wnt have to charge it every now and then, the batt will slowly discharge, and then u charge it once or twice in a week.
For heavy users,at times myself included, I put it on charer more than once in a day. There the total number of chare cycles that the battery is alloted gets used up early, and the battery dies early.
A third factor is the amount of load we give to the OS. Not just playing heavy games or apps, but making calls in low reception areas as well as placing our hands over the antenna portion of the celphone while making calls, increase the load, and cause the battery to drain faster

Thanks for that information man...
i have the same problem with my phone just shutting off after about an hour on, only turning back on when plugged into a power source.
i've got a 2200ma battery on the way and i can't effing wait for it to get here.... i really hope it solves the problem cuz i already reinstalled the kavana rom thinking it was a software bug. reinstalling gave it a breath of fresh air nonetheless, while its on. lol

Hey man - please reply on this post when you get the battery replacement to let us know if that helped solve the issue. If not i'll have to jump in the market for a new smartphone.
Theres nothing worse than being on a business call and you loose the call - and your phone usability with no power source around.
Please keep us posted.

so please advise or tell me if im wrong. the 2200ma came with a 3/4 charge on it. i should use it until dead. then recharge. then tell dead, then recharge, and finally do taht a third time, before i even charge it while it still has a charge right?

Yah you should do that... let it die 3 times and charge it fully, also do this about once every 2 weeks I would recommend okay... or whenever you can...

Anyone else got this? My battery should be fully charged in the morning with the green light on - but the battery is 91% (or 94% or 99%). Then if I plug the charger it jumps from 91% to 100% in seconds.
Just hope its just waiting few cycles to calibrate or something... :/
Yeah, it seems to sort itself out after a few charges.
same with mine, only just happened after the update
I have something else to share about battery charging after update. I usually charge my phone from my computer's usb port during the night.
However after the update USB charging is much slower than before. It would take about 4 hours to charge from empty, but since the updates it only charges with a rate of 13% every hour so it takes more than 7 hours to fully charge from empty.
Anybody else noticed this?

The GTalk issue is out there again, not sure if its the culprit? I have unchecked the 'automatically sign in' and logged out, but it keeps turning on and logging me in by itself. Im sure its one of the reasons for the battery drain. Anyone else with this?
This morning it dropped from 100% to 88% in less than two hours without really doing anything with the phone...
this whole 'stopping charging till 90% once its reached 100%' issue is rediculous. I cant believe that HTC have added this to the update (cos it didnt happen before) for a phone where users rarely get a days usage out of the phone battery anyway! Now you even stand the chance of starting the day with 10% less charge than you should....rediculous!
if its something they want to include then thats fine, but at least give us the option of turning it off
This is from a german forum:
Let the phone empty the battery until it switch off for its own. Switch on again and do a new boot until the phone is switch off again. When switched off charge the battery completely with the original charger.
... and the 90% issue is gone
I have a second battery I never used before. Im going to put it to charge tonight - and let it do few complete full/drained cycles. Hope works ok.
Wonder if everyone else has the persistent GTalk on? I dont want it!! Arghhhhh....
I have the same issue with mine Desire after updating last week,just get the green light for a full charge and after a few minutes I check my battery widget and lol 10 % are gone.Any chances for fixing that issue?I would appreciate if anyone give a helpful advice.thanx in advance.cheers

The same here...
do we have new info about this issue ?
Is this such a huge issue then? I mean, sure you want it to show the correct %. But does it affect the total duration in any way?
The 10% can eventually level out when being used. I wonder if the device is at e.g. 30% it should actually be 40% in this case, or the 30% is actually quite accurate.
The % is an estimate to give a better representation how much there is left rather than just following the voltage drop. But in the end it will most probably be the voltage that makes the device decide whether or not the battery is empty.
Don't be silly, ofcourse this is a huge issue, did u ever seen such a issue on any other device, even devices of 5$ dont have this strange behavior.
Phone from such class to have such a problem, this is annoying.
And rather iPhone4 signal strenth issue i think here problem is software and it will be fixed
Comon, a 'huge issue'?! It's merely some % figure that's not shown correctly.
Oh well, I guess it's a compliment for the Desire then.. if 10% off is a huge issue, the rest can't be so bad!
Devices of $5 are really bad in showing correct percentages really. One part of the % goes fast, other slow and then suddenly fast again (you know, 1 out of 3 blocks left but flat battery in no-time, while the second block lasted hours and hours). Just because a device says it's 100% loaded, it doesn't mean it's actually correct.
That's why I wondered: Does it actually affect battery performance. If it does, then (and only then) you can call it a 'huge issue'. Otherwise I would just call it a minor annoyance. But obviously stuff like this might be personal eh!
But I'm quite convinced as well this is a software problem and can be fixed. I just don't think it will be very high on the HTC priority list
Ok, i agree its minor annoyance, but anyway it's annoying at least to me, you are right, this percentage may be fake, but for me it will be better if they show me real battery load
cheers
ps. i saw in your signature u r 1.15.405.4 - do u have this behavior on it ?
Well, the Desire is gone to be replaced now. But I didn't have this problem with my old Desire. Then that one got replaced (because HTC scratched it), and the new one did have this problem.
But now the Desire is off again because of weird touchscreen problem, so lets see how the new one holds up
Hi guys im wondering who else have a really really battery life, it drops so quick :S
i have brightness low,and seems its draining fast. i tried stock for a little and seems it drops not so fast but still fast, i compare with my old evo and wow was a beast it can last tooo long before drop 1% and htc one X its giving me so much issues i tried insert one coin, and im now on leedroid (seems better) i have to get juice defender ( i never have to use) using hard my old phone (EVO 3D) drops like 50% in 4 hours of Hard use, 2.5 hours bluetooth headsetplaying music, some browsing, whatsapp, twitter and facebook. sometimnes drop 60% its not so bad, perhaps yesterday in almost the same time and doing a lot less drop from 70% to 0% idk what happening or if this is normal because screen? anyone has this issue?
or maybe we can do a "test" maybe playing a video for 30 min or something wifi on, just to test.
Maybe could be my radio? im using HK htc one X in mexico, the 3G works great perhaps could drain more battery?
Any help i will apreciate thanks a lot, i love the phone but this sucks
Regards
How long have you using HOX. I am getting 1 day of battery life after heavy use.
Have you tried battery test, or safe mode?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
i have +/- 40 hours, average use,
its like my sensation, with 1730mAh battery (well in my sensation with bricked kernel i have +/- 50 hours)
wow make me feel like my battery its faulty (hope no)
well i have been using for 1 day i hope last well the next days LOL my warranty its void due unlocked bootloader xD damn i hope works well i will try charge when the phone its off, i should try make a "battery tester" i mean maybe some benchmarks? like doing some stuff and see how much battery drops, decoding and so on maybe for one hour and compare between phones to see if you have issues or something, no one has done something like that?
Thanks a lot i really like the phone i hope its just something to get fixed soon
i really apreciate all comments, and make me feel bad lol i

Drain the battery completely and then charge for at least 8 or more hours, use the phone as normal and let it drain completely again and then charge for a minimum of 3 hours, after a couple of days it should last longer and if you can or need to upgrade to the latest OTA then do so.

well that is not really helping him is it. no point you telling him you getting that kinda of use of out the battery..it is like rubbing it in his face
but anyway 3g does drain battery specially if the signal is low and it is trying to find the best possible signal for you. only use it when you need it. same goes for wifi. for wifi i would have it to sleep when screen is off.
have a look in the battery stats thread and few people give tips in there on how to extend the battery life mate.

maybe coincidence idk maybe has something to do, any Radio to flash? or firmware? (safe and tested one please xD)

if i was you i would not let it drain completely..let it die down to say 5% i would then fully charge it like overnight. then go here install that apk and once you have fully charged let the battery drain again. once it drains to say 15% check what wakelocks you have. that will help you see where the issue lies and the battery gets drained..better explanation on the thread i gave you the link of mate

if your carrier still shows that you have updates then i would say do that as well mate. radio as far as i know we can not flash just as yet as we need s-off to do that so your best bet is the OTA if you are not on the latest firmware
Wait & see what the battery lasts like after a couple of days of charge & discharge, mine was poor on the first day.
I always try to charge mine up over night & my battery lasts on average 40 - 48 hours now.
The other day i had wi fi on & gps on read some of a book, 3 or 4 calls 5 messages & used a gps app for a while had just over 2 hours of screen on time & after 14 hours still had 60% battery left.
There is no reason why your phone wont get that after a couple of days, hope it is the case for you
Estoy orgulloso que tenemos mexicanos que tienen un One X
Hopefully as updates come, battery life will improve
I´ve been using the HOX for 5 days and it does get better after you run some cycles, but I still find it´s not as good as the battery life on the GS2 I used to have (I was running the Illusion rom).
With the GS2 I would leave the brightness at full blast, I would watch about 1 hour of video, I would use the calendar a lot, I would make a couple of calls and by 19h when I got home my battery would be around 80%. I do the exact same things on the HOX and I get a little less than 70% at the end of the day.

actually every thing is working fine but the problem is in the network when i set radio off it drains less battery
tried almost 7 radios but still the same but one thing is strange when i change the sim it goes from 60 ma to 40 ma but not to 10 when i put it into aeroplane mode it goes to 1 or 2 ma tries every thing but dont know what is the problem fresh rom , ruu but still it drains the same battery on every rom.
You have gotten several suggestions and ignored them. Good luck to you then.
as i said i hv changed my battery , rom and wakelocks and alarms are not draining battery actually its some how network problem because i use another sim of same network but it was 60 ma and when i insert sim of other network it goes to 40 ma. I dont know what is the problem
Hi all,
I'm having problems with my Galaxy Nexus battery life: I am desperate, I have been googling this problem and I haven't found something helpful yet.
So, in the last two weeks it suddenly started draining battery like crazy, with absolutely no use, the battery would last 5 hours..
I have not updated the software recently (4.2.2), and not changed anything relevant.
I have tried everything:
-Resetting the phone
-Disabling Exchange Services
-Removing Email Accounts
-Disabling all google apps: google +, maps, gmail etc.
But still nothing!
It even drains battery in Airplane mode! It drops 10% an hour with absolutely no use and airplane mode on!!
I honestly don''t know what else I could try.. I wanted to update PRL list since I had read that might help, but haven't found a way to do so yet..
Any suggestion/help, please??
Thanks,
Marco
EDIT: It also overheats while charging with very modest use(whatsapp), to the point it stops charging!!
The bottom line, the Galaxy Nexus battery isnt all that great. Something we have to live with. I pretty much have always gotten 10% an hour on my phone. But if you think about it, its still 10 hours of use. I have just lived with it.
If you must do something, either get a new battery or use apps like "Greenify" which will help out a little but there is only so much you can do.
I know it's not great, but this is crazy! It's 10% an hour in Airplane mode with absolutely no use!! If I use I'll get to 0 in a couple of hours.. and by using it I mean surfing the web and texting for 10 mins :/
I'm not complaining about the battery life, the phone is 8 month old, I'm saying something is wrong now because it worsened overnight!

Maybe you just need a new battery.

Sorry, my bad, forgot to say that I bought a new battery (obviously original) and borrowed another original charger from a friend, and still nothing..
Discharged completely to 0, charged with phone turned off, and nothing changed.. It must be something software! I hope so..

Re-Install your OS then. Look for the thread on returning to stock. If that doesnt do it, I dont know what will.
Buying a ZeroLemon 5900 mah battery fixed my problem. 6 hours on screen time on average. Only problem is it makes the phone so damn bulky and huge. I have your same issue with the 1850 mah battery so I just solved it with ZeroLemon. Like the previous user said, there's only so much you can do to improve battery life on this phone.
I don't want to 'improve' battery life, I just want the stupid battery life I used to have before
Something has gone wrong and must have caused something, because it even overheats now!
Isn't reinstalling the OS the same thing as resetting to factory? Already tried that

I'm sorry for bumping this up, but I'm currently having the same problem as I was writing in another post.
Could we merge them?
I'm damn wondering what the hell is going on
