Hi
Had a problem with my Desire over the last few days. From full charge the phone is dead in about 15 hours, most of the discharge seems to happen in the last 6-7 hours i.e charge was full before I went to sleep last night and this morning it has 5% left.
Now I haven't recently installed any new apps, phone hasn't really been used and is on standby most of the time, I don't have any e-mail or other sync's going on. Only thing running all the time is Bluetooth, but up till a few days ago phone was holding charge for 2-3 days. Now as said it dies overnight.
Any thoughts?

Try to recalibrate your battery cache.
or
Check what has/have consumed or caused the drain (apps, syncs, OC, weak signals, settings, etc.).
Try other ROM and/or other kernel.
or
your battery or your Desire has just given up its live.
Thread for calibrating the battery:

Which ROM do you use?
It could also be a hardware malfunction. I had the same problem with huge rises of battery temperature. I took my phone for warranty repair. They changed the motherboard. Now it works flawlessly.
I am using Redux 1.2 and can get two days of moderate use.
Other thing that could cause it is Rom. With Stock ROM the battery usually drains faster. Also check how many Widgets you're running and if you have any GPS or Bluetooth on.
Check if you have 'best wifi performance' ticked in Settings>wireless & networks>wifi settings>menu>advanced
I have noticed it rapidly drains the battery.
i think mines heading that way also
my battery has only been lasting me about 17 hours since i first bought it then again i do use it alot music, games, surfing on wi-fi and so on. but i still try to conserve it. leedroid chrgermod works well for me but i thought 2 days was godly battery life but apparently it isn't
Hey guys,
so I recently purchased an International HTC One X and hsve loved it so far, but I think the battery is draining too fast.
On standby, it drained from 93% to 89-92% in 8 hrs which I suppose is good, but while using, it drops pretty quick. I wanna know how many hours or how much percentage does your battery decrease by while on standby or during use?
By the statistics I have provided, do u think there's anything wrong with my battery?
PS: I used the built in battery app, go to settings>power
Thanks, Id really appreciate it if u could help out since I'm worried if my newly expensively bought phone has something wrong with it or not, ill hit the thanks button

Battery drain
I'm currently on Leedroid' ROM and the behaviour is similar to what I had with the stock rom and looks like the folowing:
Data or WiFi on, autobrightness on, autosync off
Hangs a litle on 100% then dops abruptly from 98-97% to 80% in about 4-5 hrs with a screen time under 30'
from 70% to 30% however, the battery drain "magically" improves giving 6-8 hrs of standby including 2 hrs of screen time of which the most is used to browse the net via 3G.
At the moment my stats are: 13h 50' on baterry, 2h 15' screen time, 21% left
I got a steep drop from 31% to 21%, just as I was checking the stats for this message, but bare in mind this is the first run with Leedroid (flashed last evening) so I expect things to improve.
After 10-12 days on the stock rom I remember getting some 3-3.5 hrs of screen time within 16 - 18 hrs total before reaching 10%.
So i suggest, give the battery a little time to settle, then adjust your usage habits according to what you get (like turning autobrightness off, data off etc).
I for one am waiting for some stable kernel improvments regarding the tegra power mangement (sounds cool, have no idea what I'm talking about and I expect to get some 20-30% more screen time within the same time period (18-20hrs).
I've been running a few battery tests. Last night I wanted to totally burn out the battery so I used it down to about 5% and started a youtube movie streaming over wifi at full brightness. An hour later...... it finally died.
The companion core on this thing can really confuse you are testing standby time or music and video playback.
I want a mod for the phone where I can toggle it to use 1, 2, or 4 cores. To the OS, it looks like core0 is also the companion core.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply
so do you think there really is something wrong with my battery?
i read on a popular android website that they played a video on mx player in loops and it lasted for 6 hrs and 6 mins, which makes like 17 percent for every hour of viewing. I downloaded mx player, gonna watch a movie, and hope the battery drain is on par
The less battery doesnt bother me much, what does is that im worried that there MAY be something wrong with my battery, gonna try out for a day or 2, gonna see if my results can match urs, thanks
just hope theres nothing wrong with my battery
PS: i have everything stock, i unlocked bootloader, flash CWM5.8.x.x but returned to stock later.

So the browsing drained about 70% of the battery right? Suppose those 11 hours of sleep took even 10%, and u have 21% left, so u spent about 70% on the browsing right? Thanks
when you charge to 100% it drops down to 95% then charges back up to stop over charging, who ever it doesn't show you the % it just says 100% thats why you can lose ~5% in a few seconds when first taking it off charge.
yesterday i got 14 hours 9% left and had just a little over 4 hours screen time on leedroid 5.1.
playing games is a massive drain

Thanks, that's what I hope to achieve. I did a factory reset, will fully charge and see how it fares tomorrow. Btw, I don't play games on battery precisely because of the massive consumption.

Battery Fix
I had a pretty serious battery issue during my first couple days with the phone, where the battery drain was extremely fast and inconsistent, sometimes dropping 5% at a time and giving me maybe 8 hours of life total.
The issue was that the battery tracking in the phone was messed up. When you go to Settings>Power, the default setting for "Fast Boot" is on. This seems to mess up the way that battery drain is tracked. I fixed the issue by turning Fast Boot off, charging up the phone to 99% (it wouldn't reach 100, that's how bad it was messed up), then restarting it. Now, it works perfectly and easily gets me through the day with moderate/heavy usage; I watched a 30 min video streaming from youtube of wifi and lost only 7%.
The downside is now the phone takes 5 seconds longer to start up .

Why not join the Battery Stats thread that has like 20-30 pages of discussion already.. I fail to see how a new thread every day helps people to find what they want to find..

I did that, and streamed on youtube for 30 mins, lost like 9 percentage, is it good? or is there something with my battery?
All of your battery issue will be sorted out people..don't forget that One X is still running on GB kernel n so is transformer prime..Nvidia n HTC are working on the ICS kernel..n once they are out with it our HOX is gonna blow away everything in the Market in both performance n battery life :beer:

That's perfectly fine. Battery drain will never be perfectly consistent (perhaps your video had better graphics/resolution than mine did). Looks like your battery's OK now.

My S3 is normally have really great battery life with disabling unnecessary features and turning off unnecessary functionality. With normal use and with wifi one it has battery life more than a 36 hrs. But at work because of poor signals I hardly gets 20 hrs. and I can understand that problem with poor signals.
But, Ones and while battery dies in 3- 4 hrs. I fully charged my cellphone at night and took the charger off mid night Battery at 40% in 4 hours. without use , where no application or wifi, data plan running. and many time it just die if I don't get up in midnight. This happen so randomly no proper time duration. some time no issue for month or week. Some times I seen this behavior in day time, phone got really hot... I just restart phone and it will fix the issue.
I didn't root my phone running on Jelly beans. Should I contact Samsung or bestbuy from where I purchase.

This is a daily problem for me ever since I bought my device so I got used to it. Rooting the device with a stripped down ROM fixed my battery life issue. But I reverted to stock in anticipation of the 4.1.2 update for the i747.
I went to sleep with 100% and woke up with 93%. I left WiFi on, I'm sure that if I turned it off it would improve but I was curious how it would hold up.
Wondering if anyone has tips for improving standby time battery life.

Are you seriously thinking that 7% while you slept overnight is some kind of problem?
Arround 1-2% overnight(wifi on, but with "Keep wi-fi on during sleep" on Never)

Yes.
I can compare that to iPad mini and Windows Phone ( Nokia N925 and N520). 1-2 % with GMS/LTE on.
Same Here
Yes I am also facing the same problem. Terrible battery time. I charged my Tablet yesterday and pulled it out at 100% at 10pm. I put it on Airplane mode and went to sleep. When I woke up today at 6am the battery was showing 70%. It ate 30% at night doing what? I am very disappointed. On Kitkat 4.4.4 I never had such terrible battery performance.

Same here, on a fresh Lollipop install, wifi turned off during sleep, bluetooth always on, and with only a few apps downloaded. Last night I unplugged my tablet and it was still 100% this morning. Been like this since I flashed stock Lollipop after a full wipe.
On 4.4.4 with a lot more downloaded apps I was getting abysmal standby time. The confounding thing was, power use during standby would be fine for a couple days, then turn all to heck, like to 20% plus per night, wifi would turn on by itself during standby and stay on. When I cleared the caches it would go back to being OK for a couple days, then turn bad again. I had even turned off automatic syncing on every app that I was able to do so.
Couldn't figure out which app(s) were the culprit for the life of me. So now I am adding new potentially problematic app back on at a time to see if I can figure it out.
Here is what happened today. Turned off charging at 100% at 10:45pm and woke up at 9 am to 70% on airplane mode. Please tell me that others are facing the same problem!
That does seem pretty weird. This is my N7 since yesterday morning:
Thats not bad at all. I dont know why mine is doing this. What do you guys suggest i do?
I was on jellybean before lollipop and it had waaaayyy better battery life
