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

screen on time?
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.

thanks, yeah i noticed some people have great battery life and i said NOOO WHY ME!!!! heh i hope its because battery its "new" but to be new sucks hard LOL, i have good signal, perhaps something weird i see its change from 3G to edge (i never had gsm phone on this carrier where im, i had a CDMA phone so idk if its normal, or signal sucks) so i figure out im having drop call just in 4:25
maybe coincidence idk maybe has something to do, any Radio to flash? or firmware? (safe and tested one please xD)
thanks a lot and i really apreciate all comments
thats why i love XDA
and yeah vladnosferatu slap in my face for great battery LOL

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.

Have you tried running BetterBatteryStats?

It may give you some idea of where the power drain is occurring. I've found it invaluable in the past where I've had battery drain and I couldn't see what was causing it.

hey guys can someone help me with a test?
dial *#*#3424#*#*
and make Battery test, you need put in airplane mode and the test will make full bright
after the hour i had 85% seems ok i guesss so im wondering if the problem its the radio, i had bad the radio or something :S

Is this possible on phones with clockwork recovery? My phone turns on automatically when it's got some charge
I am a heavy texter with medium to low wifi usage. Sometimes I play games on my cell (Everlands) & last night I did some chatting.Usually battery last about a day but sometimes it goes down like after 16hrs which is quite low for what I have heard about this phone. Any way to identify the problem is ?
Maybe that is because I did not really charged uninterrupted on the first day due to constant loadshedding here in my city (about 1.5 hr gap in charging). I've heard Better battery stats is a good way of locating draining problems but I couldn't really understand it well enough to use it to my advantage.
Also I have set my brightness to lowest most of the time so thats quite surprising. Also net usage is mostly web browsing, no google maps or auto sync feature enabled as far as I know. Any tips about locating the problem ? Could hard reset possibly solve this issue ? Anyway my phone is less than 1 month old (3 weeks old) so should I consider taking it to service centre & getting battery replaced. Please help.

The battery is calibrating within 3 weeks if the phone is new (5-10 charge cycles) so the problem might not be a real one.
Are you on stock rom, stock kernel?
IF not, do you have kernel with overclock capabilities (titanium kernel, kiss kernel)?

The calibration thing sounds interesting. Everything is on stock. The phone is unrooted though I once thought of rooting it & rebooted the phone in recovery. How much does the battery last for u ? Right now battery has gone from 100 to 86% in 12hrs with somewhat lighter usage. Is this normal ?

I'm having 48% after 10 hours with screen on at 61% but it is like this because i plugged in to my computer last night to put something on the sdcard.
In general your informations are alright, that is a fairly good battery life. Remember that you have a smartphone with gpu and cpu, and it is normal to eat battery even if when you don't play with it because it makes stuff in the background.
The great battery life i got at 3 days with 50% screen on, wifi, calls, sms at 10-15% but not on stock, using CM9/Paranoid Android and tweaked kernel for better battery life .
In conclusion, don't worry about it. Your battery is fine!
If you really want better battery life try flashing a custom kernel like KISS or Titanium and undervolt your CPU.
I managed to undervolt mine alot (-300mV while idle) and battery life increased to almost 3-4days, which is really impressive compared to 1.5days it lasted before.

How could you undervolt that low? It doesn't freeze your phone? At what frequency did you undervolt this low?

Its usually 1-1.5 days for me,its always on eater wifi or mobile network.
And i text a lot.Gmail,Whatsapp etc.
Screen is mostly at 70-80%.
As far as i am considered thats good,a lot of phones these days cant even get to 24h.
It works perfectly stable with the following settings:
Clock VDD (mV)
'24576 700'
'61440 700'
'122880 700'
'184320 700'
'192000 700'
'245760 700'
'368640 700'
'768000 850'
'806400 850'
'1024000 950'
Took me about 2 days to find them.
Sadly you cant go any lower then 700mV, seems to be a kernel restriction.

In my last charge the battery ran for about 1 day 6hrs when it said low bat, which is fine for me. However few times it oddly discharged like in 18hrs. Maybe I played too much games & used a lot of wifi at that time.

"Battery calibration" is snake oil. Period.
Also, I have 2 stock One V's in the family, rooted but no custom ROMs. Both devices on occasion (once a day at least) appear to be in sleep mode but taking the phone into a completely dark room reveals the backlight is still on (albeit very dim).
This is the only thing I see that's keeping my stock ROM from outstanding battery life. Even as is it get good battery life, but I also double check periodically to make sure the screen really is off.

Root your phone, put kernel titanium kiss, make it with 1.2GHz and smartassV2 cpu governor and than flash with full wipe myOneV 8.0 rom, put display brightness to automatic you will have stunning results.
P.S. make back ups to your data but do not restore it all from recovery
I'm just wondering if there's any known methods to increase the battery life without sacrificing performance. I know the basic stuff like turning off Gps, Wifi, Data, etc. when not needed but is there anything else I can do to prolong the battery life? I'm currently running the wanam lite rom with trininty's alpha 7b kernel. A couple of people reported great battery life with this combo but I'm only getting a little bit better than stock battery life.
What exactly is a little bit better than stock? How many hours are you getting?

Well with moderate use ( 3-4 hours of web browsing, playing games, etc.) on stock I get about 9 hours and with this rom and kernel I get roughly 9 and half.

I get the same too, kind of hate it :/ I don't understand what drain so much when the phone is not in use, I always wonder why stand by time is so bad in my phone, I get much better battery life rooted but I'm stock right now, I got tired of flashing roms and I hate to wipe every time I flashed so I prefer stock to stop doing that

Yeah, The rom is based off of stock H2 and is supposed to have some battery tweaks to make it last longer. All of the people said battery was good using this combo and 1 person said it's been 1 day 16 minutes, and they had 26% left but they didn't post the usage.
Ok this is with the stock rom. Heavy usage by my means any way. It was on the charger for a few mins here and there. But really not enough to show real battery increase.

The best way to determine battery life (not I played a game for a little, surfed the web over 4G, called some, texted all day) is to take a screenshot of your Screen On time, and overall time since charging. Otherwise, your statements are pointless.
If u have a rooted device u should try the highonandriod Rom it dies have better battery life than stock

I'm very happy with Wanam Lite for now, it's so far the smoothest stock rom I've flashed and I'm eagerly awaiting the next update, so I don't really plan on flashing anything else for now. Thanks for the suggestion though, I'll definitely give it a shot when I'm looking for another rom to flash.
Disable auto synchronize. Thats the key.

Don't use the phone. The screen will almost always be your biggest power draw. Screen-on time is relevant because if you have the screen on for three or four hours you aren't going to see battery life that is any better.

Your right, it is relevant when comparing, but I'm not comparing anything here just looking for tips and tricks. I looked at battery stats when I compared the stock battery to the rom battery and recorded both stats on heavy use. If you want statistics, I got 9h 38m of battery use, internet and netflix took up 31% battery consumption, games took up 23%, phone calls and texting took up 12%, and the other 34% is basically screen off time. These were the stats from when I tested it on the Wanam Lite rom. I'm not confused as to why it only lasts about 9 and a half, hours as you can see I was constantly on the phone when I was testing it.

Well not only were you watching a video (I assume, instead of just browsing) Netflix, you were streaming. That probably did a number on your battery. I know I cannot stream Netflix for very long if I want my phone to last through the day. Also games, things that will ramp up the processor, etc while using the screen will tax your battery more than usual.

Some may not like my answer because it removes some bells and whistles, but I suggest turning off all the motion features. Just my two cents. Battery life was better and I found most of the motion features unnecessary.

Yeah, this isn't my everyday use, nor would I do this if I was trying to maximize my battery life. This was purely for testing the battery life on heavy usage and I found that it was only a little bit better when compared to stock. I'm in no way complaining, I think Wanam has done a amazing job with the rom. The stability is great, speed is comparable to JB roms, and battery is a lot better. Unless used heavily as shown above, then it's only slightly better then stock which is kind of odd but makes sense. I was just wondering what all a person could do to maximize their battery life, that's all.

No worries! If you have trouble with idle battery drain, something like Juice Defender will help a lot if you're going to have the phone idle for extended periods of time. Other than that, all I can think of is underclocking (I run at 1350), and sometimes overclocking your min-CPU speed can help as well. The thought behind this is is that the CPU will be able to finish tasks faster, even if slightly, and then be able to go back into deep sleep. I know a lot of people on the Galaxy Nexus forums run 700min, 1000max because of this.

Thanks, I actually didn't know that, I also heard undervolting can increase battery life and reduce the battery/phone heating up but someone said that it can it will have a major effect on the CPU, not sure if it's true or not.
I'm on the ViperOne ROM and what would you recommend to save battery life? (Whether it be apps, a battery saver, etc.) I'm getting on average about 8-10 hours. I feel like it should be much more than that but who knows I'm probably wrong and that's the norm lol.

8-10 hours from 100% to 0%? It seems very low. There are people that can squeeze as much screen on time out of our M8. Maybe try an app like GSAM Battery Monitor or BetterBatteryStats to see if you have any wakelocks or any rogue apps that suck your battery.
You could also try Greenify which hibernates apps that are not active to conserve battery.
But my opinion is to reflash your ROM with full wipe and no tweaks or apps installed, run it for 2-3 days and check if you see a difference.
Using stock ROM and managing to get about 13 to 14 hours with 6 to 7 hours of on-screen time, depends on my usage which is light to moderate. Don't know if that's good enough though... however I'm satisfied with these stats. I know that I can achieve better though.
Performed all textbook instructions on how to increase battery life, switch off location services or put it on battery saving mode, increase your sync intervals or switch that off too.
I disabled 4G and got a lot better battery times from that only. 3G speeds are fine for me and im usually near a wifi network anyways.
And you can always enable 4G for those rare occasions where you need really high internet speeds and there's no wifi network nearby.
I come from an Xperia T. Got almost 1,5hours of screen-on time. Now this phone, it is madness. As student that uses his phone a lot, with 3/4G, wifi,... I am still impressed. On a normal day I can get 2 full day's with like 3hours of screen on time a day. For someone looking for good battery life, I think this may be one of if not the best phone to get!
I'm losing about 8.3% battery life an hour according to the GSam app. There doesn't seem to be anything out the ordinary either.

Alongside with your app usage please.
And it seems that you're just having a lot of applications running on the background or it seems like it at least from first glance.
At least it isn't a hardware battery problem.

2 exchange accounts, 1 pop account, Pandora / spotify / text messaging / wifi / emails / cal appointments / etc on all day while I'm at work:
I charge it at night, wake up at 7am with 100% and by 10pm I have ~25% left. Stock ROM, rooted.

Sorry about that and the delayed reply. Here's both
And an updated screenshot of the battery usage.

To be fairly honest, I don't think there's anything out of the ordinary here, apart for your wakelocks and since you've been doing a lot of gaming, I presume they are pushes from your games?
Also your percentage per hour is fairly decent if not good and 6 hours of on screen time is decent as well.
What you could try to do is disable push notifications from your apps as well as reduce your sync intervals for your social media applications.
If nothing helps, I would suggest a reset but that's only if nothing's changed over the coming days.
Keep us posted on how your battery is holding up bud.

Thank you so much for looking it over. I'll take a look at them and see if there's a way to turn them off and if it helps.
I'm running PA with Furnace and yesterday I got over 7 hrs SOT using Wifi. I was on reddit, playing games, videos, etc.. For me, coming from a Gnex that is awesome and I couldn't be any happier.
I use Greenify and the clear recents option. Kernel settings are stock besides Eco Mode, Max to 1728000 and Vibration Strength to 1300.
Putting governor on conservative also helps a lot, but your phone will be a bit slower, but not unusably slow though. According to GSAM my average is 19H40M of which 7H40M is SoT. I always have my phone on conservative, pretty much always on WiFi but when I'm not it's on 4G, auto brightness, always on power save mode, auto sync enabled, location on but on power save mode.
I also use greenify which helps a lot too ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify )

That means you'll have 6 hours SOT , seems ok to me.
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the OnePlus X before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Good, 4 hours average (if idle battery drain is left out of this)
Really good on Boeffla and Temasek's CM13.
6:40 hours last time.
It completely depends on the user! If you are a power user, the battery will drain faster. Well I use my phone at a very minimal level so by the time I get home from work, I still have around 30-35% battery left.
If anyone can match this

Probably not real, those stats are f*cked up lol. He has a cut of about 10% (probably reboot into recovery or something like that) but wifi was on during that cut(lol!). If that wasn't enough, he still has 10% left with 8h sot. So I call bs or simply error in battery stats or he really just left the phone on a black background just to get those stats

Whenever you Undervolt your device below to the threshold level.. Device goes in deep sleep mode and until and unless you hold power button for 15secs.. It won't boot.
Do it... Undervolt 300mhz to 670mAh you will get to learn a new thing today..
Every new day teaches you something new...

you arent teaching me anything new, your post was at fault with a lot of info you didnt provide, maybe if you didnt post a useless pic with a record sot and provided more info you wouldnt be questioned. And it just keeps getting better and better, so you had a SOD that took away 10% of your battery life and still manage to get to 8 hours SOT and still 10% battery left?lol its just ridiculous imo. So please do enlighten us with the use you give your phone, because that is just unbelievable (unless you had your phone idling at a dark background like it was said before)

No need to be condescending. Have you ever rebooted your device for two or three times in a row (for example xposed module). Go ahead and watch your battery sot after that. You'll be surprised with what you see and might learn a thing or two [emoji23]

Don't really understand what you mean...are you saying that rebooting the device several times in a row increases SOT? Lol
