Battery Life Vs Iphone 4

Ok hold on before you fly off the handle - I'm trying to ask a very specific question, to probably a fairly small sub group of people.
I own an iPhone 4 and a Desire. I , for the most part got the iPhone 4 because of the fairly bad battery life on the Desire - not to mention that I had just come out of contract with my ATT account so I could get a discounted iPhone toy.
Are there any others out there that have had experience with both of these devices and if so have you been even close to being sucessful at obtaining similar battery life? Which ROM and / or what SetCPU settings (I'm not entirely convinced how much difference that makes for me)??
It is now 5:27 pm and I have tried my best to have both devices used for the same things. I alternaated phone calls. I pushed emails to both devices nd I even tried to duplicate SMS's as much as psossible with help of a third person.
The iPhone has 80% left and the Desire has 60%. If anything though I used the iPhone more because it has my primary SIM card in it.
Thanks

Not really sure this is a development thing but for me cyanogen 6 latest nightly has nearly double the battery life of the stock t mobile 2.1 rom that I had before.

maybe it's your battery stats.....wipe the nattery info and recalibrate your desire....you might have a fix then

Thanks - I haven't tried Cyanogen but i've tried enough of the others over some months that I knew that answer had to be a particular ROM OR the possibilty that it just wasn't going to happen.
Thanks

i use pays 1.9 rom and the battery is holding the charge much longer, i didn't charge the phone for 3 days and today it had 50 % before i started to play need for speed shift . and the iphone doesn't use as much charge as the desire because it has a crapy old lcd display and no REAL multitasing....

I got roufianos v6 and i get a day of heavy duty work on desire, day and a half with low medium usage and im happy with the battery. (wifi on all the time, auto sinc on an hour of fb, weather, xda rss news, nimbuzz chat, gtalk chat, couple of calls and sms, homerun battle 3d, internet checking fb and other forums, xda app couple times a day and thats pretty much most of the duty) i couldnt last 2 days with nokia x6 with 1/10th of that usage.
Besides, iphone doesnt have this insanely beautiful amoled bright colors do its normal its battery lasts longer. Its also got a diferent system and diferent multitasking codes. Desire runs some proceses in the background for certain period of time so it loads diferent apps u just used faster.
Besides, charge the phone over night and use it over day and u wont notice the battery life is bad at all. U cant enjoy iphone as much as u can enjoy desire if u know what each individual device is capable of.
If u ask me, u can give me an ever lasting iphone or a day lasting batteri on desire and id pick desire. As a matter of fact id pick desire over any combination about phones u make

OH oh - Sorry I didn't mean to get the iPhone war going. I have jsut noticed that the battery life has somehow greatly improved with the iphone 4 vs the 3 and I had previously not been making it even through the day with my Desire.
Probably wouldn't have even been looking at the Iphone if it hadn't been for the battery issue with the Desire.
Again I was just hoping some others had been able to personally experience the battery thing so I could get a better idea of whether to go back to the drawing (ROM) board or to give up.
Thanks all

I have had both phones & iPhone has hands down better screen (& you can see it in direct sunlight).
Battery life was a lot longer on iPhone, but I think that's just because I played with it less, got rid of it & kept my Desire in the end.
Currently using modaco's r8 with A2SD+, seems to make a big difference to battery life by having dalvik-cache & apps on the SD card. My battery is now a horizontal line in standby with constant sync etc (something I could never get before).
Can anyone else confirm better battery with A2SD+ or is it just me?

Htc Desire HD not so good after all?

Whats up with the 1230 mAH battery? even worse than the one on the desire? i realize this new cpu uses less power, but still they should have gone with an 1500 mAh battery to have decent battery life :/ im worried they sacrificed battery life to built a slimmer device
Is the screen regular lcd os super lcd?
Why did they remove the kickstand and the hdmi port?

so everybody loved every inch of the desire hd? no complaints?

I personally would wait for reviews before passing any judgement. Looking at specs alone can be deceiving.
Just a few weeks ago, people were complaining about the 800mhz cpu in the G2/DesireZ. But benchmarks show that it's just as fast, if not faster, than the 1ghz cpu in the Desire and Nexus One.

I agree with with the OP i was all set to pre order the Desire HD until i saw it had a smaller battery, HTC claim the new CPU etc requires a lot less power but i`ll hold on until people tell us what its like in the real world.

Well I like it for the SIZE...... and comes with FROYOOo.... The specs and the initial benchmarks tell the CPU is faster and the GPU is lil bit faster than the Galaxy S. We will wait and see.

i know , btw i didnt complain with about the desire z cou haha , but what bugs me is that ok the new cpu might consume less, but take advantage of that an include the same battery as before to get BETTER battery life instead of trying to maintain the same crappy battery life

Yes, you didn't complain about the CPU. What I was trying to say is that you're complaining about a piece of hardware based on specs, just like how others were complaining about the 800mhz CPU previously.
My point is to just wait for the reviews. It could be that the battery life will last you a day and a half with heavy use. If that's the case, then there's no point in HTC slapping on a larger battery.

My opinion is battery life is the next big hurdle to overcome in terms of smartphones and I have to say I agree with the comments made along the lines of, where the battery is concerned, bigger is better.
It would be nice to go away for a few days without having to add to clean socks, skids and toilet bag, a mobile phone charger lol

unplug your pc and see how long that lasts?
These smart phones are mini computers ... and as such it's not suprising that you have to plug it in all the time ...
Look at the ATOM CPU... smaller CPU was ment for netbooks...
We have an evan smaller CPU .. ment for our " phones"

I agree with the comments and being an ex-user of HD2 which uses the same battery, the battery life really sucks as it will only last half a day when you have a lot of calls or sms.
What's the point of having a good specs smartphone but the battery cannot even last with such lithium ion, 1230mah battery since the size of the phone is so big?
In terms of sound and camera quality, HTC is still not good at these area no doubt they are in the smart phone market for many years than other manufacturers but their technology is still not as good.
Even if the firmware support is good but there is a limit with the hardware they have.
Just my sharing.

HD
I'm a desire owner, personally I think the HD is just too big,hence for a second phone, I have the x10 mini pro,perfect for making all my calls and texts , whilst I use my desire for all surfing needs.....
Desire white does look soooo sexy though!

I completely agree with you. Keeping the same battery + Better efficiency = Incredible battery life. I don't see why they would want to make it the same or "around" the same as the other handsets ??

What i care about battery, most stupidest and annoying design flaw is PUT ONLY 512mb rom to phone. Only ~40mb is left for all applications, mail cache, facebook & twitter & so on work memory (most of rom is used for android&sense&so on basic phone installation that you cannot modify without root). When free memory drops to 16mb, low memory warning is displayed and after that you cannot install any application, get updates and gmail sync is not working. so between 40mb and 16mb is 24mb cap available to use. Way too little!

Yea unfortunately, I find that to take advantage of android to its absolute fullest, you have to root.

I have to counter your experience of the hd2 batt time. I easely cram over 15 hours from my hd2 - even if I run android.
I agree though that the 'out of the box' batt time is to low on most smartphones - but then again, most people doesn't seem to bother - iphone for example is terrible on batt time.

I was expecting a lot more improvements from Desire HD versus the Desire.
Like:
- Higher resolution of the screen. It's 4.3 but the same resolution as the Desire, so you will end up with bigger pixels.
- Front facing camera. Facetime like experience is kinda girlie thingy, but actually ended up wanting this for example when you are on a long trip and you want to see your family.
- A faster processor - why not 1.2GHz?
- A kick stand, like the HTC Evo. Ended up wanting one of those while trying to watch some episodes of Friends on the plane. I had to hold the phone all the time - kinda frustrating.
At the end since it does not have higher specs compared to the Desire and since I swap my HD2, first because of Android, second because of the huge brick that I had to carry around, so I'm sticking with the Desire 1st gen.

why does everything has to be 4.3 inchs, I would love to see a better screen then an iphone 4G, and a tegra 2 Chip be awesome.

Think I'll lay off the Desire HD and Desire Z for now. There's not much noticeable improvement from our Desires. I'll wait for HTC's next big announcement

[Q] International One X or LTE One X

The main thing I do is:
1) Web Browsing
2) Music
3) APPS like FB, Twitter, XDA (not games)
Which version will work better? I don't really get good battery life with stock Sense UI with the International One X sadly.

I also can't decide which one to pick...
From what I heard the LTE one is a bit faster than the int one, the battery life is also better on the LTE but no one gave me numbers... If it's something like 10min it's not worth it imo... Also more people have the int version so there will probably be more devs on it. I asked on another thread if the updates from HTC were for both phones or if they are differents updates and which phone is the most updated but no answers yet... People are saying that battery life will get better with updates, and I read on another thread that Nvidia will release drivers optimised for ICS kernel and that should improve the battery life and perfs.
That said I think I'll go for the int version because: I live in Canada (QC) and here data is limited (50$ for 2gb) so I need internal storage and 16gb is a bit small... People are saying dual core is faster for in all benchmarks I have seen, quadcore version had better scores. Since I don't know if the updates from HTC covers both phones I'll assume it's not the case and I think the int version will get more updates than US version because more people are using it, same for the devs and custom roms. I don't care about LTE cause my area is not covered yet and since data is limited thats probably better xD
For games I don't care for now because I hate playing on touchscreen, but who knows, maybe they will release a mini game-pad.
For finish quadcore is probably overkill for now but I'll not change my phone for a long time and I think apps will be using quadcore in the future and be more optimised for it.

Yeah I share your frustration. I'm in Alberta and I don't want to pay the big 3 the money for LTE, so HSPA+ is fine. But the thing is my battery life has been horrendous so far on my international One X. It doesn't help that NVIDIA is using a VERY outdated kernel version, in comparison to the snapdragon. The other problem is we don't know when NVIDIA is going to fix this, as I'm not going to wait 1 more year before they update the kernel version. I think the LTE version is running a newer kernel thus better overall battery life. I only wish the LTE version came in 32 GBS. But that really doesn't matter too much for me now, since I can't even go one day on a full charge. I get about 1.5~1.75 hours of screen time with auto sync and auto brightness on. It's VERY disappointing in comparison to my Galaxy Note, which I now regret selling.

If I had a chance, I would go for LTE version. I have international for about one month and it quite disappointed, starting from lagging live wallpapers through laggy browser, reloading Sense ending with other performance issues. Still, I love the screen and standby battery time and performance issues will be resolved with next updates or when we find S-OFF method without loosing warranty.
As for now, T3 HOX disappointed me, but I hope it will get better and better over time. Luckily, I had none of bulid quality issues, no overheating, no dead pixels nor screen blikning, because I'm sure I would get rid of this phone right away.

Why not go for the international version of the LTE, the One XL this has got the same memory as the tegra 3 version.

i know the snapdragon is running a newer kernel than the tegra, and rumour has it it has a better battery life somewhat because of the kernel. it's just frustrating that the One X is a let down battery life and screen problem wise.

Keep in mind that, due to the Apple vs HTC war going on right now, they had to modify the AT&T version of the HOX and it has little limitations, such as links not taking you to their respective apps (i.e. phone numbers won't dial and youtube links launch the browser, not Youtube, and give you no option to change it).
I believe there are other tweaks, as well, but I don't know all of them.
I had the AT&T version initially and was not very happy with it. It had the SMS bug, which has still not been fixed and it didn't seem to run as well as my International version.
S4 is great, but I think the Tegra has better idle battery life, thanks to the 5th companion core and I'm not on mine all the time. Even with use, my Tegra One X does okay.

it's just hard for me to accept the stock battery life on this device. coming from a galaxy note, which I'm starting to think was a huge regret to sell, lasted one day with my use pattern. With my one X I usually last from 7 AM to 2-3 PM before it's screaming for a charge.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

Why not just sell the one x then and rebuy the note if you are un happy with the one x?

I tested the one X roggers version (same as AT&T) at best buy yesterday and I wasn't impressed at all... I mean yes the screen is amazing I love the phone design and sense but it was laggy, the multitasking is a joke and everytime you press home button you have to wait 1-3sec... What is the point of having a dualcore if there is loading times when you press home and you can't multitask? Anyway I really hope the int version don't have those issues (for multitasking I know it's "normal" but I heard it can be fixed with a script). Anyway the battery life is also an issue for me, when I see the GS3 with amazing battery life... I love the design the screen and sense on the HTC but I hate battery life and multitasking... I love the battery life and perfs on the GS3 but I hate the design and especially touchwizz vs sense... It's really really hard to choose.

so any updates on this now that you have sense 4.1 and stuff? is the T3 one x much smoother now? should i get international one x instead of at&t?

After the 4.0.4 update and Sense 4.1, anything other than the Tegra 3 variant is out of the question. Quadrants, Antutu, etc are off the charts as well as overall smoothness and general responsiveness. I came from a Galaxy S3 and the One X indeed feels overall smoother for me now
But for your mentioned use, id say that you would benefit more from the lte than the extra 2 cores and GPU power
My reason for choosing T3 (And my carrier offers the LTE version, AT&T)
-Tegra 3 Gaming
-32GB storage
-No bloat (in my case)
-Unlimited data
-Int variant should get updates faster

This doesn't really make sense?
Are you asking a question?
Or telling us something?
For the battery, not much you can do could try getting an App such as Juice defender but alot of the time they chew more battery than they save.
For your router, buy a new one?
For a quicker browser experience I would try Opera
Hope I helped.

Congratulation, although I don't consider Nokia as a bad brand and actually I fell Nokia is more like a RIM and focused towards business users.
About your wifi, if the signal is consistent than perhaps like you said, it's your router fault.
Also, check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579392 (You better start from last pages).
Also, you need to be aware roots app won't work without it. For the core controlling wait Jelly beans it seems HTC had a similar app already bundled with it.
Good Luck

I just wanna know did u guys have any suggestion for me? And im using juice defender but i need a good program for closing apps on ram... On task manager i need to close programs one by one...

Hayırlı olsun.
For the battery, there are some simple thing you can do; but first you have to clarify what you mean by "what to do with the battery"?
Do you wanna treat it well to have a long lasting battery over months/years, or do you want to use it economically so that you can have a longer battery life for every re-charge.
The first one is easy. Never let it shut down due to no power, always re-charge before %10; and charge it more frequently during the day, not draining it all and recharging back to %100.
The second one is tweaky and after years, I've lost my faith since the time wasted to learn and use that battery saving stuff and also the brain damage, is not worth it. totally my own opinion.
Just try to use Wi-Fi is you're at home or at work for long periods, swtich to 2G during those times, lower the screen brightness as much as you can and shut down vibration where possible.
One thing though, as the word spread about HTC OneX+ arriving, most of the sellers have reduced the price for One X, around 1600TL (which is roughly $880). Did you but it from 2000 TL recently? If yes, that should better be bought on an agreement with Turkcell, if not then you paid a little more =)

Agree with all the battery advice above. This is good information.
Would also add to steer clear of task killers/ managers. Your phone will manage apps itself (though I know a lot of people think it is a bit aggressive on the one x). If you are constantly going in to shut down apps, your battery life will actually take a hit. Just leave it to settle down and do its thing.

Armenian here Speak turkish fluently, Parents from istambul also.
I have two HOX's both international, One is in repair, my backup though is wonderful when it comes to battery life, I also agree those battery savers, and task managers really dont do anything in my opinion, its more trouble then its worth. My HOX thats in repair didnt do very well with battery, its rooted and all, but battery really sucked, but when I get it back I'm going to do a bit of digging. My backup is amazing, currently 14 hours and still have 63% battery life, and I have really done nothing with the brightness or anything like that. The battery will really depend on your usage. If your going to play alot of games expect the battery to drain rather quickly especially with 4 cores. I dont play many games really, and heavily mainly talk, text, and play games maybe 3 or 4 times a month. From what I've seen, the battery doesnt take too much of a hit until you go past roughly 15 mins of playing an intense game, at which point the cores start to heat up and the constant screen being on which drains the battery quicker.
Also I would suggest dont use too many apps that sync in the background, thats another battery killer. And as great as live wallpaper might be, thats another one that drains it. If you use data as someone said try not to and use the wifi, I dont use data ever and have shut it down and just use wifi.
But based on my two Hox's I have to say I think build quality of the phone has a big part to play in the battery life, but I am going to do more testing on this once I get back my other phone from repair.

You remind me the good old time with my Nokia phones (big like a brick) that could last 1 week with one single charge :angel:

Killing apps to "free RAM" (why do you need it free?!?) and preserving battery are two mutually exclusive things. My advice is to stay away from any automated task managers and accept the fact that the only way to preserve battery is to use your phone less.
BTW you could've come to Bulgaria to buy the phone - it would've cost you much less

Battery life is killing me

Hi all, I bought my brand new original HTC One X 3 days ago and it got the newest android version for it, JB. But there is a big problem and it is the battery, it's just horrible to see such a awesome phone with a battery life like that. Does anyone know which things I can do to have a better battery life? I already have the almost lowest brightness, no live wallpaper and no antivirus on the phone. I also use the official energi saving function that comes with jelly bean but it doesn't even make the battery better at all, not even a little bit. Please help!!!

You will find your phones battery life will improve, mine wasn't that good for the first few days.
When ever i get a new phone i always charge it over night & then when its off charge leave it till it bleeps to be put back on charge, do that for the first few times as i find it gives the best life.
Mine is very good now

can u say how long your on screen time or general battery life is? but at the first few times/days/weeks it's really bad but after few charge cycles it will bet better because the battery has to improve itself with the information the phone gives, you know? wait and charge and after a week or so it will be really better...

Or if you just disable google now you will be good. If you disable google maps aswell your battery life will be perfect. Something is wrong with those two
That issue is just with jelly bean

It says 4H 56M on the battery but when I fully charge it and use it for 3 houres (games, music and wifi surf) and almost the whole battery is gone so I have to charge it again
And how do I disable those google things?

if you play more then 1 hour or so then that's not so bad because if you play a game or two only from full charge you can reache 2- 2,5 hours...with games like THD games or other which make a lil bit more heat or so ....and if you play only games like solitaire for this time or so ...then that's really not normal...you know that in the hox are 4 cores and 8 gpu cores, and therefore the battery isn't like in a phone with 2,500 or more mAh because our has only 1,800 mAh ...if yo uwant to disable it press long home button and then you can press the menu button and there will be settings in that you can disable google now and for the other google things just go in settings then apps and then all apps and there you can click on any app ! but don't deactivate system apps! and if you click on them there will be a button deactivate and yes press it and it is disabled

I usually play Dead Space but not for more than 20 minutes because the phone heats up like hell -.- And I disabled google now hope the battery will be a little bit better, but any more ideas how I can get better battery life please

With my HOX, I found having brightness at 60% or less made the biggest impact. Also, disabling wifi when not needed made a huge difference. Decrease the time between auto syncs, and also check for wakelocks. Might have an app waking the phone a lot.
But I do understand where you are coming from. The battery life was killing me also, so I bought a Note 2 as a primary phone and now use the HOX as a music player for which it is outstanding haha

the first time the battery is always bad ._. just wait some days or so and it will be better...and look with betterbatterystats which wakelocks you have then you can see which apps might make the battery life also more worse...

Thank you very much I will try them, the battery seems to be a little bit better when I turned Google Now off

i have the AT&T HTC ONE XL (L For LTE)
has the Dual Core Snapdragon and i say the battery is better lasting than ones with out the Dual Core CPUs

Pretty obvious, isn't it? Plus the Snapdragon S4 Krait has a better manufacturing process (I think 32nm) compared to Tegra 3's 40nm process, so it's more efficient and less power hungry.

To sum up. You want good battery go back to keypad £20 Nokia or Alcatel phones.
Smartphones will be pants for years to come

Not true. Look at the RAZR Maxx. If Motorola can put such a huge battery in a thin phone, there's no reason other manufacturers can't. Also, it was definitely possible to put a bugger battery in the One X, but HTC just didn't do it. They instead released One X+ sometime later and claimed better battery life as a 'feature'. That's just wrong, and very similar Motorola releasing the RAZR, and then the RAZR Maxx soon after. The phone should have had that battery since the start. The only reason I can find with Motorola is that the RAZR is slightly thinner for those who want it that way. But the One X and One X+ have 0 design difference.

My point was in comparison to old phones.it'll be a long time before we get as good batrery life as on old phones. Reason being smArt phones just do to much nowadays..many forgetting it's actual purpose

Just don't forget that the T3 is a pretty "old" chip, it needs a lot of power.
Nevertheless, I think the One X isn't that bad regarding battery life. It will drain quickly if you start gaming, but you should expect that. It's no gaming device, it's still a smartphone. Of course you can play your games every now and then but if you expect you can game with that thing for hours without getting it to heat up or charge it in the meantime, you put your money on the wrong device
