Gday,
Just wondering If I could get some round about figures from you guys that are using combinations with latest 5.x Coredroid Roms and radios on what your general battery life has been like.
I ask for round about figures e.g. percentage of battery decrease per 30 mins on dependence of phone usage because I realize how much battery life can be affected by many different variables.
My setup is:
ROM - CoreDroid HD 5.3 (full wiped and non-titanium app install)
Radio - Radio_12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3 (Given 2 days to take effect and so far best 1 I've used)
Auto Brightness
Have gone back and forth between live wallpaper and wallpaper but didnt notice much change
Screen animations all on
I'm now in the process of the battery calibration found on Hemorrdroids.net. I was getting about 5-10% battery drop per 30 mins with mobile network on, auto sync on and moderate usage (mainly browsing xda and web + facebook and emails).
So I thought I'd give the battery calibration ago just to see if I can limit the drain a little bit more.
So any other figures provided would just help me to work out if Im on par and Im definitely getting the most out of my battery
With my desire hd with the 12.48 radio and cm7 it takes much less than with core droid 5.x i dont know how much less but a lot........

Yeah I've heard that about CM, I guess you can put that down down to the drain that htc sense causes.
I would switch to a non-sense rom such as cm7, But I still prefer some features of sense.
I guess I have to make a bit of a sacrifice to get those features

I prefer a few sense widgets like the friendstream
why don't you try mikes revolution rom, its with android 2.3.3 and sense 2.1?

Yeah I did and I found I was getting fairly similar battery life with coredroid, So i decided to stick with coredroid because I prefer the visuals and the performance seemed very similar for me as well
Oh ;-)
Then try an alternative launcher on cm7 like spb mobile Shell ;-)

Try these!
First, You need to turn of auto sync, just back up or sync by manual.
Second, Remove account of HTC facebook. It's always sync therefore it drain battery fast.

Turned off auto sync a couple of hours ago after my battery calibration because I knew it was a contributing factor haha cant believe I had it on.
Am yet to remove my facebook account because I dont no if I can do without that synced haha .
It probably would be wise to only update manually
I use extended controls (might also be possible with widgetsoid) to quickly switch to GSM only when I'm not using my phone out in the wild. That and turning data off when you don't need it (easily done from notification settings screen) will save a hell of a lot of battery over using 3G/auto with data on.
extended controls is a brilliant tool!
It often helps me, too
i think the same.. extended controls are cool for control a good batery drain... and in addition i have WIDGET ON/OF by pedro maicas (android market) for cut the 3g conection
for the flip and clock for example...
Hi guys,
So I just thought I'd start a thread of to see what people expect to come to the One X over the next few months and what they would like too.
Obviously there have been rumors about a music streaking service and Sense 4.1. Do you think we could get better performance out of our device, live wallpapers fix etc?
If you have anything against this thread, don't comment. It's pointless, I agree, and has been made solely with the intention of finding put what people want and expect from their device in the up and coming months.

Android 4.0.4 and Kernel 3.0
Better Memory Management
Better Governor Management (ondemand issues with current version)
Yes, 4.0.4 and USB OTG would ne great...
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I just hope that we get updated to jellybean officially so that roms would be more stable for jellybean that way...
4.0.4 is a must, and so is the 3.0 kernel.
Battery improvements is somewhat important
Oh, and ya, the imagesense chip and software both needs some serious tweaking. The video camera when taking another screen is ****...can't even focus..no matter where i place it.

Sense 4.1? Did I miss something? Or should that be android 4.1?
I would also like to see the 3.0 kernel and usb OTG. Would love to hook my HOX up to my dslr. Also, some more optimization of Sense wouldn't be the worst thing as I believe that having lag when scrolling between home screens is unacceptable for such a high end phone.
Edit: I forgot to wish for increased wifi performance
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
less laggy launcher.
kernel source to fix the laggy launcher
better kernel source to fix stupid haptic feedback vibration
option in app screens to create folders like in the homescreen
alphabetical order(if it is not already in order)apologies not had my phone for a few weeks so i forgot
best one though 4.0.4 update which fixes a whole load of issues
and kernel source oh and the playstation app for the games...press the thanks if you agree with me
Guys, 4.0.4 is not an update we need. It fixed a few issues running on a couple of phones. 4.1 Sense sounds good and so does jelly bean, no doubt jelly bean is coming to the HOX.

Sometime next year yes. Not this year. So 4.0.4 is more certain.

Most important ones in that order:
- Stable GPS (, especially when cycling slow or just walking)
- Improved battery life
- A way to change volume of all channels, because many apps use a channel (eg. Alarm, Notifications, Media) without giving the opportunity to change the volume of that channel
- better way to remove all default apps I don't use
- change behaviour of the hardware buttons (right button = menu, long press home= recent apps) - I already did this, but default would be nice for non-rooted devices.

Yes! Your last point is very important IMHO.
Right button = menu

+1 here as well. I don't want to root as genuinely don't want to give up my warranty but I am begging for this feature to get rid of that ugly menu onscreen button.
we need the following urgent features in the next update
- 3 Dot menu disable option or switch to hold the home button for menu
- Power options!! this is a must for such processor, Economy, Balanced and Performance mode like it is on the T Prime, needs a widget too! they can put a warning for users to know performance mode will drain more battery and cause higher temps
- Fix the flv video bug in the stock gallery
- Fix the crazy behavior in the stock browser like a better way for the nav bar to come up at will
- Fix applications priorities Sense should never reload during normal use but it should kill it and most background process during heavy games
- They should also include ultra rosie officially for stutter free sense launcher
- If they are generous they can provide multitasking options too since these can be switched on the fly in android!
these will make the HOX the ultimate device and kill the need to root
3 dot
Sort out the multitasking
Profiles for the tegra cores, for gaming, general use ect

The only reason why I rooted/used a custom ROM. HTC sort it out

Isn't Google to blame for the 3 dots and new button layouts?
I thought that HTC were simply following their ICS guidelines.
But either way, I much prefer the older layout / functionality too.

Multitasking fix
Even more performance and speed haha
Better camera software (Arc beats the HOX...)
Smoother Sense launcher
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Personally I would like to see the following:
- HTC Hub more 'personalized' for the Tegra 3, such as free games etc.
- Sense certainly needs speeding up and prioritizing over other applications.
- Charging & Screen issue, when Charging the phone can sometimes become unresponsive.
- Speaker optimization, sometimes when playing Audio it will go quiet on Bass as the speakers equalizer isn't perfect.
- Slightly better battery life, I still don't think it totally uses the Low-Power Core to it's full potential.
As to people banging on about the buttons, have you noticed in some non-Google developed applications the 3-dot menu does not appear? The 3-dot menu can be disabled by the application developer if there is another way to get into the menu. For example on Need For Speed Hot Pursuit the 3-dot menu appears at the side, however hitting Pause will take me to the same menu as the 3-dot menu. This is a developer issue, the menu is enabled on ICS by default, but can be turned off by the developer!
Agree with most of what's been said.
Don't forget Sweep2Wake to save the power button and for those with small hands.
Nope. Not entirely. Although google seems like they want to get rid of physical buttons, it's HTC's decision whether they want to have a 3 dot menu button OR not. This is easily removable and shouldn't take much effort if any at all.
PlayStation mobile game coming soon too, that will be really awesome

I'm running sms by rsk ROM, which is nice and stable, has the brilliant amaze cam (I like the panorama mode) and sticks everything on my 16gb sd card, so I don't worry about app storage.
Only problem I have, and it's a biggie, is battery life. I carry 2 spare batteries with me to see me through a day, lots of facebook, a bit of kindle, occasional angry birds..
So, what am I doing wrong? Should I change to a different rom, or a setting somewhere?
Thanks
Battery life is normally 1 day..depends how much is your device old

A bit more reading done and I flashed the ManU kernel, which not only killed wifi, but also added some interesting green stripes to the status bar (i did flash the gingerbread version), so I guess I got something wrong there
Going (back to?) the droidzone #18, wifi back working.
Now using Rom Toolbox to set cpu to Ondemand (was on performance) so I'm guessing that's going to make a big difference

I guess I read enough to get just a little less information than I needed
Going for another install of the ROM, this time adding the rosie options which I think allows me a little more power tweaking...kinda embarrassing having friends with iphones have their phone last all day, while I change batteries after a few hours
Hello.
Sorry if the topic repeats.
I am new to this forum.
I was given one old HTC desire. Installed 4.1 cn10 rom and now this 4.2 cn 10.1.
My question is about battery life. It drops quite fast. Is it becouse of the custom ROM or maybe the battery is old?
I suspect the ROM. So can you give me any tips for battery savings options, some tunning for deep sleep or any other tip?
I am new commer to Android world, before that for five years was with iPhone. Must say I love the droid.

Some general tips
Remove any kind of haptic feedback (vibration on keyboard, touch, lockscreen, etc)
Disable auto brightness
Use static wallpaper if you're using a live wallpaper
Switch off auto sync (for Gmail, FB, etc) and disable data connection when you're not using the phone
Switch off GPS if not using
Set 'quite hours' in the nights were the phone goes to deep sleep mode and minimal battery is used
That is all I can think for now. If battery still drains, install 'Better Battery Stats' and monitor which app is draining your battery. You can take appropriate action based on it.
Hello guys i have few questions about this rom from WoH, at the moment i am using 4.2.2 rom based on CM 10.1 from VJ, but his version will not have update soon, so i decide to check install new rom from my topic. I have few question if You can answer it will be nice:
*1* Does work properly the sound of messages? For VJ roms i usually use low sound fixer, but without luck. So rom have any issuess about sound? Works fine? Sound is loud and i can hear the sms sound? (Everybody who have VJ rom know about this problem)
*2* Does work the headset or earphones without any problem? (Now when i plug in my headset i always have soft reboot)
*3*Can You compare to VJ rom based on CM 10.1? (Speed, performance, battery drain, soft reboots etc.)
*4*It is possible to disable HOLO - i mean thing like quick menu
*5*Could You write Pros and cons of the WoH rom? Any problems issuess and possible fix or some tips?
Thank You guys!

Easiest way would be to nandroid backup your current rom, then install this ROM and try it out for yourself.
1 - don't know
2 - don't know
3 - this will be very different for different people and setups, again you are the best judge based on your setup and usage, not someone else's
4 - yes, I use PA on my nexus 7. It's disabled by default I believe.
5 - pros and cons will be quite subjective, read the thread to see what's working and other people's responses. Again you'll be the best judge if you install it.

Well, thanks, but You don't help me so much. I found on the forum few things, at first i want to compare to HTC DESIRE in DESIRE thread not to Nexus 7 or any other device. For example few things work perfect on nexus 4, not on Desire like Camera. About pros and cons it will be for example, good performance, but fast battery drain. Many other things. So You don't know so much. I ask people which got experience with HTC Desire and have this rom on this phone.
So BUMP please

The ROM is still a port, and I've used it for a different device true. However Halo is part of the ROM, and it can be disabled. Other things can be found out by reading the thread, or better yet....just installing it and trying it.

I may not have experience in that exact ROM, but trust me I know enough to help you as I have helped many other people here
"Good performance, but fast battery drain" is subjective....how exactly do you define "good" or "fast" in this case? Some people define good as "stable...but has a few random reboots", but is this ok for you? Others don't mind lag, but might find it good as it's latest android with a few more features.
Fast battery drain varies massively depending on how you use the device, no two people use them the same way. You have not told us how you even use your device, and what you define to be "good" or "fast battery drain"
From bumping it, you could get some replies from a limited number of users. Some saying it's AMAZING / LAGGY / OK, some saying it has amazing battery / poor battery / suitable for medium / light / heavy usage...but you have no idea how they use their phone, how many ROMs they've tried for comparison, or the age of their battery etc. And again their perception of good or fast battery drain is different from yours. You may think getting 'reviews' from others is useful, but I'm merely warning you they can be very misleading for various reasons
In all this time you have waited for replies...you could have easily made a nandroid backup and just tried the ROM yourself. This is always the best way of testing for your usage and setup like I said, not from other people with completely different usage...then you make up your own mind and see if it's suitable for you
If you don't like it, you have a nandroid backup to go back to, so I don't see why you're waiting...
Well, You suggest to better install before ask about sth. At the moment imo i am using a good rom. I create topic to not spam thread in developers section. I have time to change rom, but i want to do it in future. Some people, used other roms and maybe have experience and they can share opinions.
So at the moment few questions:
- is here in WoH roms a soft reboots? How often?
- as i know all JB roms got problems with camera, what about recording? In VJ rom my video playback, which i record is lagged and broken, what with WoH rom?
- there is some issuess with headset or earphones, when You plug into the phone?
- is here a low sound notification problem? Any fix?
I am asking, because i don't want to spend time to testing, i can install or sth, but not have too much time for reinstalling and finding the best one. Few questions give me an answer what i am looking for
For me it is better to ask, than shouting about problem.
