One X battery fix?

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.

I'm getting 6-7 on a full charge at the moment, but that's down to me being a power user.

And also you just got the phone yesterday. Batteries take about 10 charge cycles to reach full potential.

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.

Yep. Relax. I got 6 hours from first charge, 10 hours from second charge, 12 hours from third charge...
After over two weeks I'm now getting between 18 and 24 hours. Give it a couple of weeks before judging battery life.

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
I've not really had a problem with battery life so far.

how did u use it on those 7 hours? idling?

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.

have you got yourself the One X? if so, how is it compared with your previous phone?
i also want to swap my iphone 4 with One X and looking for different experiences especially with the battery life

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
e-Sex.. All of the carpral none of the tunnel

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.

[Q] horrible battery problem on ONE X

I know there are loads of threads about the HTC ONE X battery but I really could not find a proper answer to my question so im starting a new thread. So I have had my 1X since last thursday, just over a week now and the battery life has been utterly horrible. But the worst thing is that the battery life is getting drastically shorter and shorter every day. Now its unbearable I cant even use the phone. I wonder if it might be because I did not do any 'first time battery charge'?. I just booted the phone instantly instead because honestly I did not know that you had to charge the battery before booting the phone the first time. The first time I started the phone it had just over 40% of battery and I used it until the phone shut off and charged it 100% after that while it was updating to the newest software. Is this perhaps the reason why the battery life is so god damn horrible and even worse than other 1X's?. When I charge the phone 100% it drains 1% of battery or more every minute now just when browsing the menu or the web or just doing nothing but putting the screen on. The screen brightness setting is on automatic and I have tried all kinds of battery savers and now im using juice defender ultimate still the battery life is horrible. I kill and close apps all the time and have nothing running in the background when not using it and I always turn off wifi when not using and I turn off auto sync and all the other battery eating tasks and stuff. Still I cant use the phone. When its 100% charged at about 8:00 in the morning the battery is done for at around 10:30 with moderate use. I cant get more than about 3 hours of on screen time before the battery is finished so basically what should I do? Is this normal?

And if you'd have read the other threads that you said don't apply to you you'd realize that because your phone is still new battery life will improve with more charging cycles. If you expect more than 3 hours on the low-end or five on the absolute high-end of screen on time the One X isn't for you. Because of the non-replaceable battery (which shouldn't be a surprise) a lot of us have auxiliary battery chargers for getting through the day when the phone can't be topped up on AC power. Speaking for myself, the design of the phone is what attracted me to it and the non-replaceable battery is a trade-off I accepted. That might not be a trade-off everyone’s willing to accept and the One X isn't going to win any battery life awards.

Autobrightness seemed to cause my battery to drain. Turned it off and its much better (or seems that way for now)

Charging your battery when you first get it does absolutely nothing. Wiping battery stats and callibrating also do absolutely nothing.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Upload few screens of your battery usage so we can see what is causing such drain. I can tell you already now the screen is the main battery drain. A phone can barely survive 4 hours of heavy usage, especially not on automatic brightness.

Yeah ill do that, how do I take a screen shot? Powerbutton + homebutton thing doesn't seem to work for me :S. Today for example iv'e charged the phone 3 times and after the 2nd charge I used to phone for 5 hours and 25m until only a few % of the battery was left. I had juice defender ultimate up and running most of the time and screen time was at around a bit over 2 and a half hours. All I did was some web browsing and mostly menu browsing and setting browsing on the phone and some xda developer browsing with the app. No gaming whatsoever. Really horrible battery... such a pity considering how much I love the phone otherwise. Its no problem when im at home connecting it to the computer with the usb cable all the time but when im actually using the phone outdoors its frustrating as sh*t.

It doesn't really matter what you are doing, you will only get around three hours of screen on time.

Have you tried easy battery saver, started using it on my HOX over 30HRS ago browsing, video calls and still have 33% life left. If it doesn't work I suggest you return for a replacement. Could be factory defect.

Yeah, that was the first one I used, it didn't really help but juicedefender on the other hand helps me squeeze out a bit more battery life

Sounds like a lemon, have it replaced asap. HOX is the only android device I had that gets me through the day w/o charging doing basic stuffs (data always on etc) like what normal people do. I've had sleepless nights last month because my 2-week old GN got pick pocketed battery life for GN in my case was horrible (5 hours).

how do you know if your battery is defective? i'm getting around the same battery life myself :/

This is why unreplaceble batteries suck. I wish I'd bought the s3 instead still though I love the HOX only if the battery was a bit better ffs. Im getting a little bit better battery today but with loads of tweaks, still some 'untweaked' hoxes get better battery lives, still though it seems like there are loads of one x's that have the same issue as I do. Does this mean all one x are different or what?

Batt bad bad bad

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.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

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

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.

@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.

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.

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.

[Q] My battery can't last more than 5 hours - is it normal?

Since I bought it, my phone has had a major battery problem. It can't last more than 5 hours on without requiring a recharge. I've tried wiping stats, battery savers, uninstalling apps, even a new ROM. Is it normal?

i think it isn't a problem. because my battery can't last more than 10 minutes

Both of you need fresh new batteries to replace your current ones which are near the end of the life cycle.

Yup....same answer as the above
I got a new battery two weeks ago because I had the same problem, It started dieing.....I changed it when I noticed it only stays for an hour!

My HTC One M8's battery life is very bad

It drops so fast, would run max 2hours playing a good game maybe. And it dies at around 25% randomly.
Is it due to the rom installed? (Wasn't really better before)
Should I get a new battery or that wouldn't help and its another issue?
And any benefit of recalibrating the battery?

You can try to calibrate but the battery is old and need to be replaced.

htc m8 battery problem !!!
hello all. i have an htc m8. the problem is this : i was triyn to reflash a new stock rom on it and...he remained blocked in fastboot screen. well after this.. at 2 days the baterry ran out. right now the phone it's not charging at all. just a blink of the red led and that's all. i have tried all methods with power + vol down/up etc. can anyone pls give me an advice?

HTC did say they don't slow down their phones like Apple does. So I assume that's why the battery dies at 30%. At least mine does. Would underclocking (slowing down the phone) fix random shut downs, if you're not going to get a new battery that is?

Your battery is just at the end of its life.
You can try underclocking, it will help with longer battery life but I doubt it will help with turning off at 30% - undervolting would probably help with this.

Why would you leave your phone in this condition (for 2 days), instead of just troubleshooting, and flashing the ROM correctly?
Try charging the phone overnight (wall charger, not connected to computer) and hold power button for a minute or so, and see if you can't at least get the HTC logo screen or bootloader.
