Dear all, I would like to extend the battery life of my HTC One X. I am currently doing the following:
Using JuiceDefender Ultimate on extreme.
Using flight mode with WiFi on.
Using one panel with minimal widgets.
Is there anything else I can do to extend battery life?

There were some good tips in the Battery thread a few pages back.
One thing that seems to be mentioned alot is NOT to use Juice Defender (or im misremembering)
Disable sync is a start too.
Disable Auto sync
Reduce the screen brightness
Disable Push e-mail
Use 3G only if needed otherwise swtich to 2G
Change the Network selection to manual
These are few tips
Go to settings then development options and either tick don't keep activities or change the background process limit to either 4 or less.
These settings revert to normal if the phone reboots tho so remember to change them again if your phone is turned off

Thanks for the tips guys but how do I disable push email and the network selection to manual thing?

2G will double your life but i leave mine on 3G only and get decent life. I hear if you have it on auto it running and alot of bands of frequentices and drains your battery alot quicker.
Settings, mobile network, network mode - then select the option you desire.
Thanks for the tips.
If anyone has any more tips which aren't listed here please can you post them?

I've done a guide with some battery saving tips. Such a busy forum, it's sunk several pages back. Shouldn't be to hard to find.

Only if you're in an area with bad 3g connection, making the radio jump forwards and backwards between 2g and 3g. Otherwise, keeping 3g on at all times hardly drains any battery at all (if there's no data being sent or received).
DEBLOAT!
- go to app manager and disable/unstall all apps that you are not using.
Extreme method
- use zeam launcher and DISABLE ALL HTC SENSE related.
PS: Sense dones't make sense to BATT SAVING...
Im using JuiceDefenfer, it really helps i think!

its a question that i have been waiting for.
seems like any push data is affected because the app shuts down data to save battery.
I know you can set it so it switches on for a 1min every 15mins but if you have GTalk or constant emails being pushed, it means you wont get them until the app switches the data back on to reteive the emails/messages.
this is my understanding on how this app works.
if there is a program that auto switches ur phone to 2G when idle or screen is off, then i think this is a better solution.
This one does turn on when your screen does lol..
But earlier it stopped my data working even with screen on, i had to go into settings and disable then re enable and it worked! maybe it was cus i was at work and it tried to connect when i had no signal.. i dunno
Re: juicedefender
it's a known problem and the developer is working on a fix. I won't be using it until it is
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Is it? Whats the fix? Just turning it off and back on? Because disabling JD didnt work..

This happened to me yesterday as well. Only way I could get mobile internet back again was to reboot
Hi,
I installed JuiceDefender two days ago. Since then, I have had wifi problems. I can't be 100% sure that they are caused by JD, but I had no wifi problems before that, using several different networks.
My phone is SE Xperia X10, but I understand that the app works the same way on both phones.
The problem is:
When wifi is enabled, it takes several seconds to enter the "wireless networks" menu in settings. It then takes 20 seconds entering the "wireless settings" menu. During this period, the screen goes black. Sometimes, I get a message that the wifi app has crashed. Also: When I connect to a network, it works fine for 1-5 minutes, but after a while the phone does not seem to receive any data, even though it says "connected". The same wifi network works perfectly on my computer.
I have tried rebooting the phone, uninstalling/reinstalling JuiceDefender, etc.
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this? Any hints on how to solve the problem?
Re: juicedefender
happened again today with mobile data at work, it turned it self off. does the developer know about the bug?

Re: juicedefender
yeah he does. A beta was released which was slightly better but not perfect. Guess it's just a case of waiting

Re: juicedefender
I think I might just keep charging mine but leave juice installed because I like the push notifications so ill disable juice for now!
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Juicedefender is not in market anymore.
I bought this a few days ago and it has been working great but i was just prompted to update to the latest beta and nows things are not running too good.....may need to disable for a while.
uninstalled mine. just cause i wasnt getting good internet at work. seems better now. still a good app in theory. better than anything winmo had to offer.
Ive left it on but dont use it anymore.. Battery seems to have improved anyway
Re: juicedefender
the developer has released a beta to try and fix the issues. looks like the different carriers are causing problems with resuming the apn connection
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Gotta say, seems to be working without an issue on my phone
One thing i would like to know tho is that i can see the settings to change the rules for activation of wifi and apn but i would like to set these to 1m every 30mins rather than 15mins, is this possible ?
I only seem to change it to 2m for every half hour...seems to defeat the pont in changing it...What have i missed ?
It's absolutely helped my battery life. I think it's just about doubled it overall. I haven't bought the full version yet but I do intend to. Not because I want the extra features, but to support the work done on the free version - superb!
Hi,
how many simultaneous connections are possible when using the mobile-hotspot-feature in the phone?
I can't find anything in the settings....
Thanks for your help.
at Google support they say: 8 simultaneous connections
But it can be more or less when u dont use the standard app i think
I mostly think only 5 possible connection can be made.
My friend sets his up in the bar regularly as towards the back you get no internet connection so they just bunny his phone, but I think he gets a good 6+ without an issue. He has a Samsung gs2 and a HTC titan though.

Thanks for your time and support. Tank

don't know if here would be more useful for your queries? i would search those forums and google, will likely find your answer quite quickly...
as for battery life...universal common sense things like turn down your screen brightness, turn off wifi/mobile data if you don't need it. check for bad apps keeping your phone awake using something like 'betterbatterystats'.
I have 4G LTE unlimited grandfather plan on my S3. But as you all know, the battery drain pretty quick with 4G LTE. I cant even last a day with normal usuage. I am on on stock LH1 rooted rom. I've found that turn off data from the notification bar help with the battery tremendously but dont want to miss out important emails when im not near a computer.
What app/widget do you guys use to automatically turn data on and off periodically like let say on for 30 minutes then off for 30 minutes, or off/on permanently via manually override from the user?
I've searched on the market and Google but no luck..
Thanks guys!
I use switchpro widget. It has a data toggle that you can switch on and off as needed.
JuiceDefender claims to be able to do this. You can select how often data is enabled and the duration.
Batteryfu great app and free

Juicedefender just set it to activate data after you unlock the screen very helpful its under the help tab in the app.

thaks. will try it soon
any customized Samsung TW ROM with 15 toggles MOD will have Data On/Off switch.
+1 for recommending Juice Defender. I upgraded to ultimate, wasnt really necassary though you can set schedules for it to sync anywhere from reactivating your data every 5 minutes to once every couple hours and everywhere in between. Can set it to turn off your gps, wifi, blue tooth etc... Just my 2 cents
JuiceDefender is probably your best choice. I've been using it on every Android phone I've had and it gives you a great deal of customization if you upgrade to ultimate.

You can do that in settings without a third party app.

That's not what he's asking.
Your answer is juice defender or those types of apps. Like easy battery saver and Green Power.

been using Juice Defender for a week and it does the job just like how i wanted! Battery life has been increased tremendously!! I love this app! Thanks everyone for the recommendation!
Any tips/tricks/tweaks (for stock OneX with Tegra3) more than much appreciated... Even just toggling to homescreen to check something closes the app, when you come back it restarts, if it is a web session (does not matter whatever browser it is) and you were logged in somewhere, you have to log on again, needless to say you loose your stuff data/text you left there before switching.
Although i like OneX too much, i am seriously thinking about leaving htc for ever due to that and also because of the Wi-fi policy issue in my beloved OneX, it is also similar. After screen off then on, you find wi-fi went sleep and trying to reconnect, if you are/were sharing media streaming through dlna, it stops as soon as wifi goes sleep. Also the remote apps are becoming useless due to same as you need to re-establish connection each time you wake your phone.
The only manufacturer/device in Android world which deserves to go after OneX is SONY imho, especially the latest Z is seemed a super phone.

You can get WiFi to connect by either switching off the option in power saving mode, or in advanced WiFi settings.

U cant do that in stock ROM.atleast in non rooted devices.If u root and install a custom ROM then its possible.U can adjust the way multitasking is done in some ROM.ViperX JB is released so do give it a thought.Its the best ROM out there.
see the thread for more info:
