What are your average temperatures on your Desire? On standby mode, heavy usage (movies, gaming), charging and so on. I'm a bit worried about mine. It usually idles at 28-30 degrees C and gets up to 38 on heavy usage, maybe 39.
I also wanted to calibrate my phone using this method, but I never get passed 4182mV, a few months ago I was able to get 4197. The phone also seems to be pretty hot, even when it does nothing.
The battery usage is ok, I don't have any apps that are using the CPU in the background.
And I used an undervolted kernel, running at 875mV at 245MHz.
playing ROBODEFENSE for 20 minutes or more gets my desire very heated.
so much so that it shuts off
is there an app or similar that can show me the temp of the phone?
You can view the temp of the battery which can give you an indication.
If your phones are overheating, send them to HTC and they should get repaired.
I just checked and my phone idles at like 25c and I played RoboDefence for a whole level at lvl 100 and got 35c. To be honest, it felt warm and not hot. I've had it hotter than that but never had a reboot issue.

I seem to be getting the same temps, but I still have the mV issue. I can never go above 4182mV and I can't properly calibrate the battery. The phone also dies at 11-12%, when I bought it it was dieing at 0%.
Sometimes, the phone is charging and it shows 87-88% for some minutes, and suddenly it jumps to 100%, I guess that would be the loss of 12% when my phone turns off. I wiped battery stats when I was at 100% and no luck. I am using latest snq's kernel for leedroid ROM.
Maybe a naff battery?
Yeah agreed.it can get hot at times but if it rebooted better sent it for a check

Initially, I was very surprised and pleased by the battery life of this phone. I charged it on Saturday, and my usage since then took it down to about 73% this morning. 32 hours of use and 27% battery drain? I'll take that!
But something weird happened today. About midway through the day, the battery just started to crater. Worse yet, charging didn't do anything! The charging indicator animated, but battery life was still falling precipitously. I used it constantly on the train this morning, so I get why it was at 58% by the time I got to work, but then from 8am to about 2pm, it went down to 30%. Then from 2pm to 3pm while it was "charging", it went down to 18%.
Of course I googled the hell out of this, and came across this thread
And rebooting the phone magically stopped the battery drain, and allowed it to start charging again. So I guess our SGSII's are just like the international ones in that regard. Apparently some ROMs have fixed this, but we're still a little new to benefit from that approach. So, just a heads up: if your battery chart just starts falling into the floor, reboot and all will be well.
Note: this also explains the "Android OS" entry showing up at the top of your battery charts. I was shocked when 2 hours of display only accounted for 22% of my battery usage, while Android OS was 68%. Apparently the suspend mode goes insane sometimes and the process of attempting and failing to sleep the phone sucks the battery dry. I'd say that's pretty ironic, myself.
This happened to me also. I was not even touching my phone while working today and it beeped saying 50% I'm like wtf? So I let it sit still working and it beeped saying it needs to be charged. Crazy but I sure do hope this helps and is fixed soon.

happened 2 me couple times, i thought some app was keeping my phone from going to sleep. so i tried spare parts, spare parts doesnt work on stock gingerbread roms on samsung... so i cudnt figure out wat was going wrong... because lets say my battery was at 80%, after i reboot, it would be at 55%, just with a reboot...
i figured something was going wrong in the background, and the battery stats are not reported correctly, your REAL battery percentage shows right when you reboot...
-------------------
after i rooted the phone, THIS FREAKING EXACT PROBLEM made me do a factory reset on my phone, which put my phone in a boot loop... after waiting 16+ hours for a stock kernal to come out, i had to brick my device on purpose (so sprint could not even turn it on), and dey gave me a new SGSII... if i didn't brick it, they would have known it was rooted, due to the international splash screen...

No. I haven't installed anything since yesterday, when it was (supposedly) sipping the battery. It just started going nuts this afternoon. That's why I started looking and found that bug thread for the international SGSII. Apparently there was also a bug in 2.3.3 that would cause some widgets to suck the battery dry within hours, while idle and even in airplane mode. So I guess they're moving in the right direction.
I had a weird issue just now. Battery was at 26 percent. Did a reboot by holding the power button down for 8 seconds or whatever it is. When it booted back up about 30 seconds later i had 10 percent battery.

Today is my first day giving this phone a while, and I've been awestruck by the battery life.
Screen on for a large chunk of the past 12 hours that I've owned it, and I'm still showing about 50 percent. I imagine a battery anticipating 4G usage but me having it turned off all the time gives the phone a real edge, lifewise.
Not looking forward to it cratering like you guys have seen.
HOW CAN YOU GET THIS LIFE AND I CANT?????
I hard reset and started over for everything
Should I take it to sprint store?
like it was some what pointed out alot may be due to the charger....i kept my epic 4g charger and have been using that

I kept my htc evo one, after hearing about screen sensitivity issues and now this.
I got 23 hours with some heavy use on the first charge. It should only get better with the new kernels.
Transmission sent from a Galaxy S II.
so this is 4 out of 4 samsung devices that do this. both galaxy tablets - 7 and 10.1, droid charge and now this. none of my other android tablets or phones do this. the battery just drops with nothing being used. at -2ma usage it goes from 60% to 20% in seconds or from a reboot.

That may be the case, but I know from my Droid Eris, that bugs just happen. It had the infamous "Time without a signal" bug that used like half the battery life per charge. It basically had to be ROMed to work right. And that bug was there for over a year.
It's just sad the phone makers are being so sloppy. It makes Android seem like a POS, when it's really their fault.

Thanks guys for this thread, My first day I went out and had the phone and installed everything and got root and did titanium backup from my EVO 3D, and played some third blade, and got great battery life, but then yesturday went to work and it just tanked 5 hours and down 50% i was shocked, going to pull the battery if that happens to correct that.
This really disappoints me to see the 'Android OS' bug hasn't been fixed by Samsung despite the issue being reported this Spring when the international SGS2 launched. If I remember correctly it's due to the phone not going into 'deep sleep' after it's been unplugged from the charger. Android OS will be listed in the battery stats as the top consumer of battery.. the workaround is to reboot the phone after pulling it off of the charger in the morning.
I hope Samsung stays true to its word and provides steady firmware updates for their recent devices.. NOT to introduce new features but to fix some of these glaring issues (this one first and foremost)

I'll have to try that. I know rebooting after the system goes nuts stops the drain, but I didn't realize it wasn't sleeping after being charged. I'll report back.
I experience weird battery draining periods throughout the day as well. I think I'll just try to clear my battery stats later.
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

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 .

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:

I bought this phone yesterday and is my first non Motorola phone.
The phone is still running 4.4.2.
The battery is draining at an alarming rate (13% doing nothing) and gets hot ~ 40°C (and laggy when hot)
Is this normal the first few days or should I return the device?

You can probably wait a few days for it to settle down with the syncs and stuff. Battery temperature is quite high for not doing anything but it could reach that temperature if you use navigation or during heavy gaming. My battery usually stays at about 31-32 degrees during moderate usage like browsing or playing youtube videos.

Mine did the same thing when I first got it, let it fully die then charge it. It should settle down after that.

How many times did you do that? I have done it twice already
To drain the battery at an even faster rate, I just have to use Google Chrome. The phone is drained empty in forty five mins to an hour
Has anyone else noticed that 100% battery lasts much longer than any other percentage?
For example, last night I had my phone charging while I was watching TV and fell asleep. When I woke up a took my fully charged phone and went to bed while leaving it off the charger. I woke up five and a half hours later with the battery still at 100%. I then used it for 15 minutes of browsing before it finally dropped to 99%. However, if I had went to bed with less than 100% it would have drained probably 1-2% in the same amount of time with no usage at all. It almost seems like 100% is really only like 98% and it can actually be charged to more than 100%. After it drops to 99% the drain rate is pretty consistent.
I actually noticed this when I first got the phone almost a month ago and at first I thought there was a problem with the phone being stuck at 100% because it stayed there much longer than any other percent.
Anyone else see this? It doesn't really bother me since everything below 100% is very consistent. I'm just curious.
Same happens here. I listen to music (bluetooth to truck stereo) for about an hour everyday on the way to work. When I get there it still says 100% every day. Then after about an hour in my pocket doing nothing it magically says 96%. I have been suspecting that the on screen percentage is not registering the drop in power for a short while. But maybe I'm wrong.
I remember the Nexus 6p used to do that, haven't experienced it yet with my pixel though.

I have noticed that as well. Usually, my ~30 minute bus ride consists of my phone draining between 5% to 10%. But when I have the phone start from 100%, it's never drained beyond 5% by the end of it. Must have something to do with the fact that the phone charges slower when it reaches 80% or above (which they only claim to prolong battery health, not battery life). Eh, won't complain about it :fingers-crossed:
