at this point we don't know what ROM/kernel zakkkkk is using, so droidzone's may not even be compatible.
calibrating does not increase battery life, just might stop if from shutting down suddenly at a higher than normal percentage.

so what rom/kernel combination are you running at the moment, did this occur after flashing something/installing an app?
in the battery usage, is it shown as awake during this time? i would check using something like betterbatterystats to see if anything is accidentally keeping it awake.
if there is still a problem, make a nandroid and do clean install of your ROM or 2.3.3 RUU without installing anything else, see if the problem still persists. may then be hardware.
(can't remember exactly, but i think the dialer issue could have been a gb sense error, which reported it much higher than it actually was actually using. i remember clicking the dialer battery use and seeing the actual cpu usage and runtime was minimal)
im using droidzones supernova rom and have been using it for about 6 months now. my battery life has been excellent. this problem only occurred today. i installed a few apps/games over the weekend but i dont know which one is causing this. i have also tried uninstalling a few but with no affect. are the any apps in the market that show which apps are draining battery?

sounds like you've partially answered your own question...
if you were having excellent battery life, then suddenly went bad after installing something, then this is the likely cause...

I can tell you i've done this and havn't noticed any difference in battery change. I use skyraider 2.5.2 and KK #3 kernel. Bump Charge and work gets me well through the day with moderate use.
I've done this a few times too and haven't it do anything.
ive noticed a change when i charged fully while the phone was on and the light turned green then just rebooted in recovery and wiping battery stats i do it every time i flash a new kernel i mean my opinion i have noticed better battery life doing this process
Battery drains really fast, done a battery calibration but nothing, phone is only a year old ish and when its on charge it sometimes says full when its lower than 100% see picture below.
I had the same problem with charging.I charged it few times when it was turned off and now it is back to normal to 100% fully charged. About the drain issue try different kernel if you are using a custom rom!

Just switched to MildWild CM-2.8 and its charging fine, recommend a different kernel even with this rom ?

No, not on oxygen derivatives. Uses different camera drivers so that doesn't work, but think other things won't either. Have to stick with the _thalamus kernels, which I believe are pretty good too. Same .35 base?

You are right! My mistake
i use task killer and let apps close when screen is off, dont use any apps though really just facebook really. Using nighty 258 now battery seems better but have to data Wi-Fi is a killer :/ last about 5 hours with wi-fi on, having mobile data on is just as bad.
One shouldn't use a task killer app with Android. It does more bad than good, in terms of battery life.

instead of flooding all other threads I thought of creating one of my own.
I am running ARHD 8.1 with faux kernel 006. Previously I was on stock kernel with ARHD but due to poor battery life I flashed faux kernel. With gsam battery monitor I saw that my HOX kernel is consuming 40% of battery. After flashing the kernel it remained the same. What is the matter I don't know. Is this the reason of poor battery life? This is my screenshot:

I noticed that you seem to have flashed and done a lot of mods to your phone.
Try flashing it back to stock, leave it that way for a week and let it stabilize.

Thanks but how to flash it back to stock? And does HOX automatically turns on when fully charged? It happened to me everything I charged my device when it was on.
Should I revert back to stock or should I wait for a few days with ARHD+faux kernel?
Btw I have installed system tuner. Any settings you recommend to save up more juice? I am a total noon with all these.don't wanna duck up my device again. I am leaving with full charged. Let's see how it goes.
P.S. just checked the battery consumption and these are the stats:
Kernel-42%
System(HTC launcher)-9.2%
Internet-2.3%
Charge is draining by 1% every 30 secs. Wow.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I use watchdog to see what's using the cpu and causing battery drain. Maybe try that app?
I agree with the poster above- go back to stock and wait it out..
If all fails then you might even have a faulty battery which is covered under warranty, but because of unlocked bootloader its risky trying to claim it.

can u guide me or send me a link on how to flash to stock rom and kernel
1. Find the correct RUU for your devices. They are in a stickied thread in the development section.
2. Flash stock recovery.
3. Relock boot loader. (fastboot oem lock)
4. Run the RUU.
To find the right RUU, use fastboot oem readcid and post your cid here and I'll tell you if I know the RUU. I'm not sure where to get the stock recovery, but this is what I've read others say about returning to stock.
Sent from my HTC One X
i am on ARHD which is stock so do i need to flash stock recovery. where to get the RUU and stock recovery? even on the stock kernel with ARHD i was getting my kernel using 40%. so should i just change the rom? if so suggest me one rom
edit: i went out at 9:00a.m with 100% came home at 1:30 with only 14%. had two reboots and only1hr screen on. there cant be anything terrible than this. will charging it again and again work. also the cpu doesnt fall below 1200mhz. its between 1200 1400 and 1500. i just want good battery life whether its dual core or quadcore. charge was 20% just after 1sec it fell to 14%. app usage is 54% with 41% consumed by kernel

You might have something eating your battery. And yes, you do need to flash stock recovery in order to run an RUU.

You cant really tell with your first cycle, you seem to keep a rom for a couple of days complain then switch. You need to wait a week or so to let the battery settle so to speak.
That sounds great to me. I usually get to 15% with 1hr 48m screen time.

Good or bad we don't know. Depends on usage type of data used, signal, screen brightness, auto sync and various other factors that can contribute to draining of the battery.
But that seems average anyway so not that bad.

Run arhd super wipe Install a clean rom like aosp and don't install any apps, seems like you have a rouge app do you restore apps from titanium? Use watchdog like mentioned it will alert you when any app is being naughty and running cpu when not necessary.

Hi, It doesnt matter which Jellybean ROM I install, my battery drain is shocking. Even when i turn off wifi and use mobile data or vice versa i have the same results. I am lucky if I get 8 hours. Overnight I lose 50% in 8 hours. During the day I am lucky to reach 4 pm. Does any one have any ROM that doesnt have this issue? Juice Defender etc do not help this issue
Sounds similar to the issue I'm having - something is keeping the phone from going into Deep Sleep. Download CPU Spy from the Market and check if Deep Sleep is a frequency not being used, it is on mine...I'm currently running Trip's CM10 ROM with NO apps installed and I'm still having the issue so must be something keeping it awake
Try also using 2G only. Your phones 3G reception may be using a lot of power if you are in a low signal area.

In my case that shouldn't be an issue as I'm on WiFi at all times. Sense ROMs have no issues on 3G either so it's either a badly written kernel or the ROM just doesn't like a bad signal area (which my work office is in, hence the WiFi)
Power drain has nothing to do with weather you are using Mobile Data or wifi. Your phone is trying very hard to remain registered in the 3G network hence the drain.

Thanks pal, i am on the same tripndroid rom with the TripNDroid 3.1.10 Kernel. I have tried allsorts. Deep sleep is not being used on mine either. Must be a CM JB bug then at the mo.
My battery usage still says around 50% for screen though. I think infact this was up near 65% on stock 4.0.4.
I'm an TeamNDVRu's cm10 with stock kernel. Mine deep sleeps fine. In 22 hours since last charge, 1 hour talk and 2:45 screen in time. 28% left.
Try using BetterBatteryStats or similar to see what's keeping yours awake

You have to flash the boot.img in the zip file using

Hey guys, I have a terrible problem here. The problem is that I got tired of Sense and I love stock android 4.2 and I just cannot use roms built on that android version because the battery drain is humongous. Using my phone just to check twitter and facebook and it goes down in 3 hours. I tried Cyannogen Mod and I'm now on Icecoldjelly both with Xm kernel and it is always the same. This is terribly annoying because the roms are perfect and so is the phone, except for that battery. Does anybody recommend I do something, are there some mods/tweaks to increase battery life? Is I cleared battery stats and performed more than 3 charge cycles, in case you ask. Thank you, hope you can help me

The reply wasn't intended to get you to try slim, only to show that not all 4.2 roms are as heavy on battery. there are plenty of others to try, I just prefer slim

I'd say thats about normal, but the op's 3 hours is seriously wrong. I would have to use navigation, music, facebook, twitter and XDA all at the same time to run my battery down that fast
With minimal usage I got around 5/6 hours. I'm going to try other roms and settings to see if I get this right. I'm currently on slim. I'll see how it performs tomorrow. If it goes bad then wth, I'll just go back to a Sense rom
Disable auto sync/fb location... use trickster mod and set governor to smartmax and IO scheduler to row/sio...
Cap the max frequency to 1.2 GHz... Use greenify to hibernate apps which you don;t need..
There is absolutely no lag for me... When I want to play some games I just switch to interactive or gaming governor!
Thanks everybody, I found my daily driver, today I got 13 hours with regular usage and still 25% to go, slimbean is the best. Even if it was not a recommendation to test the rom, it helped a lot
