Just recived my replacement One X and the serial number starts with SH23, There is a problem with network access and the screen has like a rippled effect under it when the screen is off.
Is it worth sending this one back again???
Sooo glad I never got one of these

Flawless sh23 here.
Can you elaborate the rippling effect when screen off? What's it like when lit up?

you are allowed to have all the fun you have, but SGS2 is famous for endless QC trouble on launch so don't abuse it
as for the question, how can it ripple when its off, it must be flexing?
SH = Serviced Handset = Refurbished.

Wrong.
SH= Shanghai China built.
HT= Somewhere in Taiwan.

wtf lol!
anyway, SH23 are units from south east asia like Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia etc....
and pretty sure there are no refurbished units yet when I got mine lol
SH is china and we don't have nearly as many reports of defects from the Chinese made phones

Mine is SH 23....Just sent my phone for replacement ealier because of the flickering screen... now i have to wait for 4 days at least to get my replacement because the shop where i buy want to send it first tu the distributor for exchange.... i hope that my replacement phone have no problem... damn,this is ONE phone that i not satisfied buying...
SH23 here.. no problems or issues.
SH23 here, no problems either.
SH23 have flickering on light grey colors. Everything else is solid.
Battery drain might be a bit higher than normal, was initially really bad. Hit 60 degrees celsius just leaving it on max brightness home screen. Turned it off and charged to 100, then saw the HTC Test function app using the dialer. Did that and battery drain was more normal. Still doesn't seem optimal so today I'm gonna drain all the way and then charge the phone fully while phone is off.

How long have you had your phone for? I've had mine since Tuesday and battery life has been less than stellar, but I also expected to have to go through a number of charge/discharge cycles before it improved.

I've actually only had it for 2 days so far. I got it thru a trade on craigslist so idk how long the original owner had it for. Less than two months probably cuz SH23 means it was manufactured in march.
I actually somehow fixed battery drain a bit all today. I think draining your battery and charging it while your phone is off helps. It somehow helped me. Before doing it, I tried the HTC test and hit 60 degrees celsius and drained to like 78% with 15 minutes or less screen on time.
After just turning it off because it was overheating and letting it charge fully while phone was off.....I did the HTC test again but this time using the actual HTC test function app by dialing *#*#3424#*#* and doing the battery test. Drain was normal and about 30 minutes every 10%. Also tried to replicate drain issue and overheating by going max brightness on my homescreen and couldn't replicate. Was hitting the normal 36-38 degrees celsius on max brightness.
Make sure to put your phone into airplane mode and have screen timeout to never before doing this. Once you click run, it will start a timer for 1 hour and drain from 100%. After the 1 hour, you should be around the 80% battery life mark, and above 70%. If it's at like 70% or below, you have a problem. If it's abnormally hot, you may have a problem.
Mine kinda went away after charging to 100% with phone off though which was really weird. I'm gonna drain and fully charge up. Then perform the test again and see if it's even better than what I just got.

Thanks for the advice. I'm running Insertcoin and it appears the HTC test function app has been removed. In any event, I won't be too quick to judge the battery life on the phone. Once custom kernels start dropping for this phone I suspect battery life will greatly increase.

Yea, I was on a ROM, but decided to re-lock and go back stock until issues start to get solved.
Kernels will definitely make a big difference, gotta wait till the sources are released though. And hopefully S-OFF

I've read in a bunch of other threads that people are getting awesome battery life out of their Z or G2. Mine is okay-ish. I had a hero before which seemed a bit better. there are a couple of odd things I thought I'd check tho...
First, the keyboard backlight turns on and off at seemingly random intervals while open. Anyone else got this?
Also I've seen screenshots of the battery use screen showing how much power is used by each system. The screen always is at least 75% on mine, even when its been sat in a pouch most of the time with just a couple of messages or a phone call- this seems quite different to other peoples experience.
Is there any reliable way of benchmarking the battery to check? If not, does anyone fancy helping me test?
im actually suffering from the same problem,
i thaught it was because the first week i was using it lots thats why the battery wasnt lasting long, but on monday morning with a full charge ,
only with a few calls , texts and checking train times on TFL , by the time i got to sleep that night the battery was on 30%
I was shocked , checked the battery useage meter , everything was below 5% except the screen which was was on a shocking 80%
I Then formatted the phone , restored to default , removed everything ,
set the brightness to lowest useable which was just above the 'o' on 'ok' in the brightness screen let it charge to 100% for use on tuesday.
Tuesday - Morn before i left for work it was on 100% , the only thing i had setup on it was email, brightness on low - but useable .
Screen must have been on onliy for 20 mins throughout the day
Got home , battery was on 45%
battery useage - again display was taking over 70% of it when it was hardly on .
I am RMA'ing this one tommorow
I think its an issue internally with something shorting on the display, battery shoudlnt be draining that much if its not on
Out of interest was yours a UK Desire Z ?
Yep. This sounds exactly like my situation in every detail. I couldn't believe reports from other people saying their batteries were at 92% after 12 hours- even without using mine at all this wouldn't happen.
Mine is a UK desire z, from play.com. I think its over 14 days so RMA might be tricky, although I know I have lots of rights thanks to distance selling regulations. Hope I can exchange without too much fuss.
Ooh, just thought of something. When I set the brightness really low on mine (below 20% or so) the screen flickers slightly. It's most visible on a totally white page. Does yours do the same? Faulty backlight maybe?

Just tested mine, definitely no flicker.
Now my experience with the battery....
I play about half hour - an hour of games every day, plus about up to an hour wifi, using the xda app throughout the day using data, 10 - 15 txts and a few 1 - 2 min calls... Not too heavy usage.
I'm getting 30-36 hours, I'm happy....
BUT..... I have not plugged in through mains once yet. I read that charging through USB gives better performance... so far that is looking true.
I got the same kind of time out of my Hero using mains but that was with zero game time.
yes! pizza65 , i noticed the flickering too! , i thaught it was just my eye being twitchy ! Noticeable on internet browsing on low brightness! .
Mine was from handtec .. (amazon delayed too much) so changed last min,
it comes with a 2 year manufacturer waranty i think so even if you take it up with HTC direct they should be able to help if play dont.
I tried a diff radio and rom , but it made no difference.
Maybe the UK batch is still faulty , wasnt that the reason why it failed google testing and got delayed for release here?
Whats your hinge like ?
ddot what network are you on ?
same to you pizza65?
im on 02 , i dont think it is a network radio issue with switching of hspda/3g to 2g signals as it does say cell standby battery useage is around only 6% , but then again the phone could be false reporting

Not really if you want realistic real-world results with data connectivity etc. It varies too much since everything counts like signal strength.
You can always just turn off everything and burn the battery with a movie but first thing you should do is a few dozen full discharges before you do anything. I've noticed that HTC (and other manufacturers too) pre-use their batteries ie. charge and recharge them until they're optimal for consumers, hence the whine about bad batteries when people buy new phones (and in reviews as well).
I'm on Orange, I don't think its network because, as you confirmed, the "battery use" screen says that the screen is draining all the power. If nobody else gets a flicker on low brightness (it can take a few seconds to see it, but once you notice it...) then it looks like our screens are the culprit. Maybe.
I've deleted batterystats.bin and fully charged, so ill give that another chance before talking to play.
Ddot, what percentage of the drain is from the screen on your z? Also, if you press 'display' in that menu it will say how long the screen has been on, what does it say?
I have the same issue with battery performace. I've moved to Desire Z from my old Desire which had AMOLED display. On my old one, the display taked 5-8% of battery. On Desire Z I have minimum 50%, but ussually ~70%.
After reading that some people can use their DZs like "for two days of heavy use (gaming, browsing)" or "5% for 6 hours" I can't understand how?
Comparing to old Desire my DZ have poor battery performance. But the specs tells it must be much better.
I'll publish my battery usage stats after some days. Maybe it'll be useful.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing
And a really "geek" method here quoted from cyanogenmod issue:
Comment 27 by david.j.erickson, Aug 19, 2010
Now, I was still having abnormal drain on my battery. As suggested in the Wiki and also confirmed in another cyanogenmod post, clearing the battery stats can help. I followed this procedure:
Fully charge the battery, says Full and 100% under Settings - About phone - Status.
Reboot into recovery, wiped battery stats. Phone still plugged in at this point.
Reboot into rom, checked to make sure battery was still Full and 100%.
Unplugged phone.
Killed it, used Maps on Wifi and messing around. Killed it in about 3 hours or so.
Tried turning it on a couple times to make sure it was *dead* dead. It still tried to boot, but couldn't complete without shutting off.
Plugged phone in, booted it up. It may be better to not turn it on until it is fully charged, but this is just what I did.
Let it charge overnight, next morning took it off charger since it was full.
I have noticed pretty good battery life since doing this. This morning on my bus ride in I pretty much constantly played some Storm8 games and used Listen with Bluetooth, was only down to about 82 or 84%, can't remember. This is on par with previous CM release for me.
Not sure why this rom in particular had so much worse battery drain out of the gate, and not just for me. Fortunately it seems correctable. Maybe if a few of you could give this a try and see if it improves your battery performance we could conclusively say battery calibration is the solution.

What about the flicker? Can anyone confirm that?
I have a UK (read: QWERTY) Desire Z, first batch.
I tried reprodocuing the flicker by lowering the brightness completely and looking at a blank white page in the internet browser. Couldn't see it. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.
That said, I'm not getting the great battery life that most seem to be getting, and the stats always show the Display as being the number one drain. HOWEVER, it doesn't seem quite as bad as you guys are saying.
Right now, it looks like this:
Unplugged for 18 hours and 16 minutes, battery at 36%
Display accounts for 41% of the drain
It has been on for 50 minutes.
(stock ROM, running an IM client 24/7, synced to three email addresses... Typoclock seems to use 2% of the battery every time as well, which seems relatively high for such an innocuous little widget)
Yeah. I have some slight flickering too, slight when low light set.
Uk stock.
I dont think high display percent is an issue too much reading cyanogen issue comments.if you use nothing but low cpu burden apps, display should eat most.
Also if i have it off, power is eaten by cell standby.
Im still hoping for a settled battery log mentioned in forums.
My 2 cents:
If I "use" the phone, I have to plugin it every night.
If I do not "use" it (nobody calls that day, no browsing or GPS (Just work!)), I plugin it every two day (ex. mon - wed - fri).
The display is always 65-80 % of the "drain problem".
Today the stats are:
7.30 am: full chargerd 100%
7.30 pm: display drains: 70% in 1h : 21m - battery at 20%
I leave automatic background gmail sync on (only daylight, I use the "Flight mode" overnight)
No bluetooth, no wifi, no gps, brightness 35-40%

No phone either.
I'm on a North American Desire Z and I see the display using 70%-80% of the battery when I have the display on for approximately two hours out of the day. I keep my display quite dim too, at 20% brightness.
I'm also running everything stock. No root, no custom ROMs, no anything.
Isnt display percentage actually the display driver cpu time eaten?its just a theoretical value isnt it, not watts gone? It seems obvious that its eating a lot as it refreshes all the time regardless of display light level.
My screen on is only 33% today, im sure its usually higher though. Maybe its due to me flashing stuff all day. Ill do a full charge tonight and report back Sunday.

Okay so I presume all of you one X power users have noticed a the horrible battery performance. I only got my one x yesterday and I'm already frustrated with the fact that i yet again have to carry my charger around with me. Is there a fix? I have root and custom recovery. So if there is a fix for this please someone let me know.m
Since I flashed the Revolution HD I got excellent battery performance. Without doing too much stuff (just calling and texting), battery remains > 50% at the end of the day. I would really recommend that rom.
I've just flashed it, going to see how it goes. But I would've expected HTC to bang a beast of a battery for the beast of a processor and massive screen its gotta run. Oh well, still early days, hopefully we'll see massive software improvements.

Not really, no. Personally I did not unlock device, neither root it, neither installed any fix. And I must say that I'm more happy with battery life than I was with my previous phone SGS2. More then 16 hours here with 4 accounts synchronization on, 3g/wifi on, and sometimes gps + music on (for Endomondo). I'm really happy with my One X.
ARHD Rom, auto-brightness, plain wallpaper, no haptic feedback, no roaming, managing syncing, and a few other tweaks will leave this devices battery life as one of the best.

I try to use as much as I can the first few days, and time it so that you have about 10-30% charge left when you reach home from work/school and then I let it charge overnight.
I know quite a lot of time was spent idle, but 60% after 7 and a half hours isn't too bad http://twitter.com/Dev_Meltus/status/194082996767309825/photo/1/large

Have been seriously contemplating getting the One X.
My first choice had been the Galaxy S3..... but the One X seems the better choice.... I have had the iPhone 4 for almost 2 years, so now it's almost upgrade time If the Galaxy S3 had no physical home button I would be taking it.
Had been worried about the battery life of the one x but after reading these and a few others it seems worth it and it's available in black (dark grey but darker than S3 metallic blue)
I Just hope I don't have issues with app incompatibility for the apps I use on iPhone.
With normal usgae, I've got more than 10 hours after one charge. Not so happy with it but it's good enough for me.

I've turned everything off and left my phone on idle, my battery issue has persisted for over 6 months now (I bought it in Singapore on release day). With screen on min brightness, static wallpaper, most apps off, my battery drains fully within 6 hours. If I actually do anything with it like make phonecalls, it drains in hours. The battery phone is constantly hot, when on charge It's almost too hot to hold. If while on charge (AC) I use it to make a call, it complains that it's not receiving enough power. Should I look to get a replacement from HTC? I'm still using stock rom so it should be covered under warranty?
Sounds like the htc amaze battery overheat..
Also get gsam battery app.. it will tell you what apps are using what % of battery.
I also use advanced task manager from play store.. it proved to me how much gmaps Facebook and other bloat was ALWAYS RUNNING!.. I got root and froze it all with big improvements
Some of us who htc amaze w no warranty bought a new battery and that fixed it

Aside from your time travel/exaggeration, I suggest better battery stats, finding out what is causing wake lock, and killing.it.
Your phone is fine, but you have some crapware on it.
Hi guys.
I've got the one x some weeks ago, but I can trust that battery have so short life. I see in Battery Thread [ this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579392&page=100 ] people with one x living for days and using this a lot. Mine not, not with Custom Rom or Kernels... I wish that is a problem of Htc and Tegra drivers, I wish that new bases can help me... But for now, how can I test if my battery is fault ? There is a test in android apps or something else? Please help me, thanks!
Make a full charge and then run battery test.
type this is keypad *#*#3424#*#*
then start your battery test and keep your phone untouched. Before doing this keep your phone in flight mode.
You should have left atleast with 88% percent battery after the test.
post your result here.
is it necessary to keep it in flight mode and what about wifi should that be turned off as well and what abt screen brightness?

Airplane turns off WiFi and app turn screen to 100, and anything over 70% is a pass if its under 70% then it needs to ne replaced.

i think il run this later, my battery is poor on stock, can just about scrape a full day, if i force myself to use light.
however i was using AOKP rom last week and battery was much improved. back on stock atm, a few to many bugs for daily use, atm.
does this test take long? im thinking when is best to do it? i need the phone on all day/evening, so i thought when in bed, but if it takes hours, il be asleep time it finishes, so il not know the out come. or do you get a report waiting for you?
so i it fails, how do you go about getting a replacement? contact HTC directly via web or instore where i purchased ? as EU Law says my *contract* is with the seller , not manufacturer, as the seller has the contract with them.

It feels like my battery keeps getting worse and worse. I did this test couple of days after i bought a phone, and the result was 93% after one hour.
Yesterday before going to bed, i restarted the phone, closed all running processes, and ran the test again, this time (two weeks later) my result was 86% after one hour. After finished the test, played with a phone for maybe 15mins (picking new wallpaper) and went to bed. In the morning i found my phone at 34%, i have never experienced such a big drain overnight before. So maybe this test is not too accurate at all. after picking up the phone and reading emails for 5mins, my battery goes to 21%... i am starting to think, that my battery is going worse.

It feels like my battery keeps getting worse and worse. I did this test couple of days after i bought a phone, and the result was 93% after one hour.
Yesterday before going to bed, i restarted the phone, closed all running processes, and ran the test again, this time (two weeks later) my result was 86% after one hour. After finished the test, played with a phone for maybe 15mins (picking new wallpaper) and went to bed.

No app is shown in battery information list. Or is there other way to check?

if u seem to get an strange power drain, best rebooting, and it should kill any service that is going crazy.
if this is happening regular then the problem will be with the battery or like said above a rouge app.

Hello,
I want to know whether it is normal, if I play a game like ShadowGun THD, after 2 minutes the phone is about 40 to 45C?
I use the Gauge Battery Widget for testing, because that shows an immediate temperature.
I also have a test.
battery recharge
Put in airplane mode.
Brightness at 100% put
Stand 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes the phone on standby, then immediately turned on the phone, the app started, and looked at how warm the phone was. And he was about 31.8C
Is this normal or not? because at play after 2 minutes the phone all at 40 to 45C.
Sincerely,
djbosanac
It is normal, but I don't consider it "OK". It is overheating badly.
The worse thing is it will also not charge when over 49... (it will discharge fast in fact)
Mine started getting that hot and caused the simcard contacts to warp. So I sent it back for a replacement. I do think the later updates cooled it down a bit but by that time the damage was done

When I was on 1.28 I had the same problem, in fact it went up to 50 degrees regularly.
After the first 1.29 update it was much much better.
Updated to 1.29.401.11 about a week ago and it seems to have gone back to how it was on 1.28!
48 is when the overheating green/red notification kicks in anything under 48 is fine.

While on charge as soon as it hits 48c it flashes green/red, when that starts it stops charging till the temp drops below that limit.
While off charge the battery should be good up to 60 the CPU is set to shut down the phone at 99 c

I regularly see 50-55ºC even while browsing. But mine will still charge (1.29.401.11) maybe they raised the threshold? It's never shutoff on me but I've heard the upper limit for the phone was 60ºC.
I've contacted Expansys about this issue as when my phone stays above 50ºC for a while the screen yellows right above the home key. Hoping for a replacement, mainly because a case I used has already scratched the screen but it'd be nice is the yellowing and overheating was fixed.
When i check the temp_tj it says my cpu is 43,5 degrees right now, and i'm not doing anything ?
aren't some people reporting battery temp and other cpu temp ?
What software version are you running? My guess is 1.29.401.11 did something that while fixes the screen flickering, it causes the CPU to get too hot.
fellas,
the only solution currently available to reduce the heat is to use corecontrol app and change it to dual-core.
u'l notice considerable difference ofcourse without any loss in the performance..
what does it means, when you plugged in your phone to a load up again, and you get a red light? is that because the battery is full, or to heat? because when i unplug it, it is oke..
Charging
The red light when you plug it in is the phone simply telling you that it is charging, it will turn green when fully charged!

thanks, the phone makes me a little bit angry
More and more things are going wrong.
I´ve just moved from th GS2 to the HOX and even though I had read reports about the battery not being so good I was really surprised at how bad it is! I mean with the GS2 I would watch about 1 hours of videos, navigate a little bit, check my calendar several times and talk a couple of times and I would get home at the end of the day with about 80% full batt...I do the same with the HOX and it´s almost half that! Plus it takes forever to charge when compared to the GS2, GS1 and the Atrix. Is it really that bad or is my unit faulty? Is there a mod or an update that can probably address this?
If you used to get all of that use out of 20% of your sgs2 battery, you probably had a really good sgs2 because I could never achieve anything like that.

So you just got it and reporting a bad battery after a first charge probably? Use it more and report again then...
Well I´ve had several other smartphones that didn´t have this issue after I "just got them".
I think you GS2 is incredible
Cycle the batt
The hox has wayyy better batt life than any samsung
I don't miss the 3% increase an hour it took for any samsung to charge once they are dead forget about getting a fast charge may as well have a spare charged n ready or how about the can not use camera bs!! because the battery is to low... to function the cam
Lol all that crap is history.
Charge the phone with data toggled off
Set screen to 15sec time out
I'm getting 15-16 hrs out of mine on heavy use

I must have faulty unit then because I really don´t see it. I´ve used the GS2 for an year and the battery was supperb. And I had the screen set for maximum light ALL THE TIME.

I came from the SGS2 which was running VillainRom with an underclocked CPU with under volt. (Auto Brightness)
.... and my stock HOX gives better battery life whilst having a much brighter default auto brightness.
Under my usage, I would never get over 3:xxhrs screen on time, so if you used 100% brightness, you can probably half that.
Also regarding streaming (as I do a lot of it), my ex SGS2 would die after around 6hrs whereas the HOX can do 9+hrs, ive tested these thoroughly.
So, I really don't understand this thread.

Remember that you have a li-po battery in the HOX ... you need some charging cycles to get the full performance of the battery

Thanks. I didn´t know that. I will work on it.
HOX= HTC One X ??? how long can batt use??
Well even me coming from the SGS2 I can say it had the better battery life with an extended battery. Could easily get 4-6 screen on time on various things. HOX is fine but not as good as SGS2 with extended battery.
Currently in Turkey on roaming and idle time in this is quite excellent the 5th core works fine in idling.

My battery was ****e for the first week of having the phone. Can't complain now though, it definitely out performs my previous handset (Sensation XE)

@liberator 72 - What settings did you have for screen brightness? Was it auto or did you set it manually to a low value? I am asking as I can't get past 3h of screen time, about 10 days after I bought the One X.

Auto brightness. Pretty much standard stock setup with only a few of the bloatware apps disabled in the apps settings and haptic feedback turned off. All accounts setup to auto sync too! It took a good couple weeks for the battery to last that long but now on moderate use I can get 2 days out of it.

It's all about charge cycling the battery and adjusting settings
Sync off screen time out display background data etc....
It will get better my silver hox right now is new but I have a white hox that has awesome batt life

If you want to be sure that you don't have a faulty battery you can always perform the HTC test , type *#*#3424#*#* in the phone and look for battery test.
Tried that got the O2 woman.

edit: working. I just have fat fingers.
Not really now
I used to get only 8 hours out of my HOX with it getting extremely hot. But then someone suggested me to perform the following steps in exactly this order.
1. Turn Wifi Off, set sleep mode to "always".
2. Turn 3G data On
3. Turn 3G Data Off
4. Turn WiFi back on
5. Close Maps, Gtalk and any other Google service when not using the same.
I am getting 48 hours on an average with 3 hour screen On time. I am On 1.28 Stock.
