1.28 drains battery like crazy..? - HTC One X

Please check the image. I. Bet you can say at what point i installed the update. And also you will notice that from that point my battery goes draining like crazy
Anyone also experiencing this too? Any solution?

EDITEDITEDIT
Ive got New screenshots Please take a look at them. As you can see the drainage is still awefull. I have only used it for checking my screen and battery so just small screen time.

What does your percentages for usage look like? Does anything stand out as a cause? It would be good if I could see your percentages

most likely just the power drop while the phone was flashing the update, after a couple of charges you will be fine.
John.

check the new screenshots

Sorry i only read English and bad English
As i said, you will be fine after a couple of charges.

It could be becasue they still have not addressed the issue of the NvCPLSvc.apk power management thing.
It says so in the change log.
Cheers.

I'm getting similar stats to you..
I only got my One X today and updated it straight away to 1.28, from a full charge i've dropped to 60% after 1 hour 15 mins screen on time! About 1 hour 30 mins since i unplugged it..
Should let it improve over a few charge cycles to see improvement.

Let the phone and the battery settle.
U`ll find improvement after 2 charges.

I hope you are right , about an hours browsing on the 1.28 update on a standard unlocked phone and I am down from full to 20% !!
Here's hoping the battery "beds in " a bit better

Can't understand why they didn't change the Nvidia.apk thing... Is it that hard ?!
I'm according to the fact that after 2-3 charges it will get better (not perfect, but better) good luck

Battery charging after update

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?

yeah, ive had these same exact issues. its so annoying. its just not worth charging via PC usb any more
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

Mugen 1650mAh

Anyone try one of these yet? I just ordered one I will report back my results..
Ya report back I am aware they have it but when I try to order it few weeks ago it was out of stock. I have used Mugen Power in the past and I trust them over Seidio and other BS. So post the stock size data on it and usage when I order it ill provide more info so other can benefit from it and order it also.
I just ordered and received mine from mugenbattery.com
I also ordered/received an external battery charger from ebay (yiboyuan).
So we'll see how it goes. It doesn't say 'yiboyuan' in the ebay listing, but you can see the logo in the pictures.

Did you get it by ordering it last week? or was it back order. They should have it in stock by now ill go place order also and post the benchmarks.

The one website says its backordered until Feb 28th. This is where I ordered it and it says its in stock. http://MugenBattery.com/tmobile-mytouch-4g-extended-power-battery.htm
Let's us know how much better it is than stock since you have it already. I will report back my results when I get it and have a few days to condition/test it
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
So far so good, I guess.
I drained the battery, then charged it on my external ebay charger for 12 hours.
After my last battery drained out (the 1500 mah one that came with the charger), I stuck this one in.
It's been 5 hours and the battery meter still says 100%.
Some notes:
1) I've been at work and the phone has just been sitting on my desk.
2) I just got this phone and am basically testing how long I can stretch out the battery. So my phone has basically everything shut off, and I turn stuff on as I need them. I manual refresh widgets whenever I happen to be interested in whatever they show ( weather, mail, etc ).
3) My gut feeling is that to compare batteries you need to do: full charge a battery, then play a video/game to drain out the battery asap. Otherwise stuff like strength of 3G signal can make a huge variance over a long period of time.
4) I'm wondering if the phone's battery meter is confused because this battery is supposedly more powered than the last one. If this new battery is really 20% more powerful, does it need to drain to 80% before the battery meter twitches?
How will the lower bound be affected?
- Frank
My battery came today. I will be letting it charge overnight for the first time tonight. After the first 4-5 charges to condition it I will test it to see how much longer than stock it lasts. I will try to make the tests as close to possible (trying to keep usage the same) After myy first tests with the battery I will then test out the stock battery and then post my comparisons here.
Sweet looking forward to see the result

I second that so results/feedback please, as I am interested in ordering it also.
It's pretty good.
I am a very very light user mind you, but I am at 43 hours with 15% left.
From what I can tell the display is the biggest battery bleeder.
So I do semi regularly check e-mail/facebook/google maps, but not for long periods, and my screen is set extremely dim. (Which is completely readable in most settings)
- Frank
Thanks but can you be more thorough if you don't mind? for example you don't have to do anything as you can do your daily normal activities. Just charge MP1650mAh fully to 100% and before you unplug it record the time and don't charge the phone until you hit 10% the record the time again and calculate the duration and check how much time has elapsed. Then once recorded do the same with stock 1400mAh battery and once you have the results compare the time between the two and tell how much more time you got to use with MP1650mAh.
Since alot of variables you would encounter with the test above you can do extended control testing if you are up to it by recording the data. Put the screen bight high as possible. Turn on all service so it hog the CPU along with data/gps/ect. Make sure you run a HD video from SDCard and let it run for 1hour and see the difference between 2 batteries results and post it here.
I got my battery but I think it was defective so I sent it back and they are sending me another one. My stock battery was lasting over 2+ hours over the mugen and I did what they said for the first 5 charges, let it charge orvernight and the let it discharge fully. The battery drain was bad. I sent it back last week and I should be getting the new one this week. Once I get it I will be doing the tests again. I only got about 6 hours on the mugen with mid/heavy use and got 8+ with the stock with Med/heavy use. I'm really hoping it was just a him battery
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Okay graffixnyc, but to be honest when I got MP1300mAh for my HD2 just like you I seen same result as stock battery out did the MP at first but as time went on MP came on top. I made sure it wasn't placebo effect lol so I did extended testing on it. I have no problem jumping from our stock 1400mAh to MP1650 as even with stock I get decent battery usage.
Anyone with this battery done multi meter test to check the actucal mAh? I wanna get one but i'm always sketchy about these aftermarket bettery cells not quite matching up to what the manufature says.
Bump really wanna get this but I'm not sure if its worth 50bux. Any comment?

I'm still waiting for the replacement to arrive.. Dont worry I wont forget to update you guys I'm also going to try to make the usage on both the stock battery and the mugen equal. send the same amount of texts, emails, web browsing (time and sites visted), media playing etc.. I will try to do everything exact on both and see which holds up better.

I mean its only +250mAh but still I want it I must have it never know if I get stuck somewhere it will come in handy. But ya I had feeling you didn't get the replacement yet also I am always checking this thread for someone to post result. What I find it funny is its still out of stock and it has been 3 months... As I said anytime I check its always out of stock.
this may very well be my next investment

Horrible Horrible Battery Life

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.

It happens to me as well, but only if I turn on WiFi and let the phone use it´s online services.
Hoping that the Jelly Bean update with Sense 4+ brings some kind of optimization.
I have my HOX configured pretty much like my SGS3 and my S3 lasts 20, 30% longer and about 7ºC colder.
Same here, kinda want to change my phone again if HTC doesnt fix this problem.
do a battery calibration, app like this works https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&feature=search_result
before the app 1 day usage = 60% of power left
after = 85% left
HTC made too much of the safty triggers for the battery if u use it lightly every day its minimizing side effects by making new one (less charge)
How long have you had your One X, OP? It takes several full charge cycles for the battery to calibrate, it's one thing about One X that's weird. I remember being completely disheartened with battery life when I first got mine - and it was horrible, pretty much like you've described it, 1% every minute or so - but only kept it because my mobile operator wouldn't replace it before making sure there is a hardware malfunction, which could have taken weeks, and I was impatient. Then I learned from xda that this slow calibration phenomenon is a thing with this phone.
I hope you're right svucinic811 I'm really getting worried here
I am wondering what a good rate of discharge is cos if i leave it on standby overnight it went from 99% to 79% in about 8.5 hours. personally i think it should have been 99% to 89% in 8.5hrs but anyways...

Will this work even without rooting my phone? I'm running on Stock Sense 4.1, but this seems like it would help a lot.
As well, if you (for a couple days) go without charging your phone in the middle of the day and let it run down until you charge it again I think you will see some results in the battery life. My battery would die everyday before school ended for me (Wake up at 7:00 AM, Phone dead by 5:00 PM). Unless it was just a placebo affect for me, its worth a try.
Does anyone else has this problem where, yes the battery drains fast, but takes forever to get charged to 100% ? FYI, I'm using the real charger, not via PC~USB

You don't have to calibrate Better Battery Stats. Just charge it up to full, then wait for it to happen again. Open it up, choose Since unplugged (obviously you should not have plugged it in at any point of time since the full charge), then take a screen shot of Kernel Wakelock, Partial Wakelocks and Process.
@Rohin, USB Cable quality plays a big part as well. A cheap rubbish USB cable even connected to the wall socket charger can only charge at 300+mAh, while a good one can charge up to about 750+mAh. About 85%-90%, charging usually slows down to about 200-300mAh, then slows down even more as it approaches 100%.

So give it about a few hours on standby and then run BetterBatteryStats, then select partial wake locks from the drop down box and it should present you with a list of the wake locks, easy enough?

oh ok, i see some have varying red bar sizes, what do they mean?
I had my One X for about 3 months...I don't know sometimes my battery is good and sometimes its bad...hope when the OTA update for jelly bean helps to use less battery. Who knows how to recalibrate the One X battery by charging??

[Q] Is this battery dead? (Bad battery life, battery percentage jumping)

Hey there guys, fellow developers, I have a problem with my battery. To be honest I can't really tell if it is slowly dying or whatever.
I bought a used HOX and I am having weird battery behaviour. As you can see, I can get these stats over a day. (see attachment)
The battery percentage often jumps over time. When I'm multitasking/playing a game/surfing net, the battery often stay for example on 62% and after 5-10 minutes it immediately jumps down for example to 50% without showing proper battery percentage.
And vice versa... When I reboot phone with 30% it will reboot and then I'm noticing battery percentage jump but to the other side. (for example to 35%)
Today it jumped from 4% to 61% when rebooting. Lol?
By the way, charging is too slow and when I'm using the mobile at the same time it doesn't even charge up.
Sorry if this is solved somewhere else on forum, but I could not find that.
Thanks in advance guys. :fingers-crossed:
ROM: Resurrection_Remix_LP_v5.3.8
Kernel: Included one in Rom zip.
No wakelocks - already fixed.
No sync at all!

I'm going to buy one from my country site (something like ebay) so it should be genuine.
I'm afraid of destroying my phone, lol. I can't send it to htc service coz I need it everyday.

I am also expressing the same battery problem.... Does replacing the battery solves the problem because this will be again 1800mAH battery???
I kinda have the same problem. With "kinda", I mean the battery meter will sometimes drop down in 4% or 5% increments (ex. from 56% to 51% immediately).
Thinking of changing the battery too. If you did change yours, be sure to let us know if everything is back to normal.

Yeah, I am experiencing same issue.
Well I did not change it yet, but I am thinking of changing it tho. Will give it one more week or two to see if it gets better or some miracle happens. Hehe.
Anyways, I will update this thread when I will change the battery to let you know.

Okay, hope you fix your problem. Be sure to let us know.
As for the slow charging, if you're using a USB cable, you could try a custom kernel and enable "fast charge". The phone will charge with the same speed and voltage as an AC adapter. (It will disable access to your USB storage though until you untick "fast charge").
Even with fast charge I'm facing same problem like all they do ...
