Battery drain - - HTC One X

I am still experiencing high battery drain issues. I am using Badass Battery Stats, and I am seeing high battery use from App Usage (30%), with System (com.htc.launcher) taking 16%.
Is this normal, are you guys seeing similar results? What is your Launcher usage?
I am at 65% after 10 mins of screen usage and 3 hrs of standby.
For comparison, my phone lasted like 35 hrs yesterday/the day before, with ~2 hrs of screen usage.

your best bet is to use BetterBatteryStats and that will give you a more detailed explanation in what is draining your battery when screen is off. Launcher should not really eat that much battery it is normally the screen. so if i was you i would remove that app for one charge cycle and try bbs which you can get from a thread here on xda and found out from that what is eating your battery my friend

*#*#3424#*#* -> More -> Battery Test and if it's faulty ask for a return/exchange. I got around 87% +/- 1 after1 hour of the test.

I actually swapped my unit once already, the last one had drain issues as well. I wonder if it's something on my software end.
BetterBatteryStats couldn't find anything unusual on my last device, but I will try it on this guy as well.
Will try the battery test as well, thank you.

I have a ton of contacts (1k+) that got imported from my Gmail. I wonder if the device is trying to sync those, which causes some of the battery issues - since the included "Contacts" package is indicated in the screenshot I attached.
I turned off auto-sync for contacts, will see if that helps at all.

solution...

Get Slim ICS installed. I've tried almost every ROM out there for the HOX, and this is by far the best battery consumption I've ever had!

A new ROM is a solution, but was hoping I could get stock working fine first... :/
Do you guys have any suggestions on how to diagnose what could be causing that htc.com.launcher is taking so much battery? I'm up to 25% now.

Is it me or are people using Badass Battery experiencing bad results for battery?
Well let me tell you when I use it I get worse battery. It tells you what is using your battery, but when I decide to disable some of the things it picks up on. I get worse battery life. Also the app itself drains a lot of battery.
I am not an expert, but some the items disabled are integral to the system. And the system trys to enable these apps, but can't. It's like batteries playing hide and seek with the apps and running out of breath.
I got my ram usage down to 490 mb ish with all apps killed, but I had the worst battery life ever. It was draining fast even with the phone in sleep, and I had random apps I disabled starting (Flickr and PDF viewer).
My advice is trial and error. Use the task manager as apposed to these battery heavy apps, and if you find a place where you are getting awesome battery results, stop tinkering!
Edit: a bit enthusiastic in the Ram department.

There's a new battery monitor just come out for free on the play store called carat.
This app's meant to tell you which apps are using your battery and compares it to other phones.
It has to monitor your device for a week before it can give you the results but if it works properly it will be worth it.

have you found a solution? I have the same issue and don't know how to fix

I'm a new user of one x and the battery drain is appalling....i charged it full and was just playing around customizing the phone/settings and i could see it was draining one percent every one to two minutes!
I'm coming from sgs2 although it wasn't great but wasn't as bad as this!
Also, following my customisation etc i changed the sim card and all my customized settings such as wallpaper etc reset back to default!

I, for once was having the same problem..but after one week or two, the battery seems quite stable, and after I played among those beautiful ROMs, I can get the most out of my battery..thank God, I hope you will have the same experience..
Maybe if you wanna stay stock, start to analyze what 'culprit' that actually drained your battery..try using the search bar and use different search terms such as 'battery saving guide' bla bla bla..there are several thread have discussed the same issue..

I am on stock Rom and this is the first full charge after a factory reset although the phone is not brand new but a few months old...

Hi guys..after a few charges it has improved a little but not by much...don't understand why it goes down in 2% increments?
Also i keep hearing random notification type sounds without any notifications...why is this as I'm using stock Rom and unrooted?

Sorry...i know it's the wrong thread for the question but finally why can i see the text message sender's name and the content of the text message inside notification bar even though I've selected not to show this in the stock messaging app settings?

Try disabling Location & Google Search (Settings -> Location). Noticed that Google services drained 65% of my battery, and heated up the phone. And it only happens when I turn on wifi and update the weather widget, which uses network location service. The drain won't stop until I restarted. Under the services, there's a network location service. So I tried disabling the said setting. Not sure if it will work for you, but it won't harm if you try.

Kernel Advice

I have poor battery life on my desire, it barely lasts 7 hours. I have tried wiping battery stats etc, and have the screen brightness at 50%. I have read that some kernels can greatly improve battery life, is this true? If so, which would you recommend, and do I just flash it like I would a rom? I am using the latest miui.
Cheers,

They can but finding the underlying app causing the phone not to sleep would be what I'd be looking at. Remove all installed apps and add them 1 at a time and see how the battery goes

Yeah i've tried this, there's nothing draining the battery.
Not at all
Such battery drainage can only be induced by either heavy usage, or phone not being able to go to sleep.
The differences between kernels in custom roms are merely a shades since all of them are pretty much battery efficient. You won't miraculously jump from battery life of 7 hours to 30 hours. Concentrate on your apps or even better, third party Widgets.

Probably a hardware fault then - the OS on it's own with no apps installed shouldn't drain a battery that quickly. Did you also turn off the sync options to test that theory?
Personally sounds like a knackered battery/phone
If it isn't apps/widgets (they are the culprit for heavy usage) then it would prob be a faulty battery. I did a little test last month to see how much battery I could lose in 24 hours. I lost 8%. I guess it could be a baseline to start off with.

HTC One X - Horrible Battery Life

Hi All,
Recently switched from an iPhone to HTC One X and I am quite disappointed so far. Does anyone also endure poor battery life with your HTC One X?
I am not running much applications in the background either, if I charge my phone to 100%, I go to bed and wake up its 80% without me even touching the phone... and it hardly lasts me half a day without charging.
Does anyone have any tips to improve battery life? Oh, and my screen brightness is always at 0-25%... thanks for any help!

There are plenty of threads discussing about battery life, look at few of them to get an idea.
One X battery life is not great, but it should comfortably last a day (around 16 hours or more) with moderate use. But everything depends on what apps you are running and how you the phone. For example if you play graphics intensive 3D games for like 2 or 3hrs then it wont last much more than 4 or 5 hours. Other than processor intensive apps the other biggest battery killer is screen, you can’t get more than 3~4hrs of screen time with One X (but then again 4 hours on the phone is not exactly moderate use either). With normal use i.e: 1~2hrs of screen time for day-to-day tasks (browsing, email, texting etc..) and about 1hr of calls the battery should last 16+ hrs. Standby battery life of One X is fantastic, it hardly drops even more than 5% overnight is left alone. If you notice a 20% drop then there is something wrong. Go to battery usage stats and see which apps are eating up the battery.

There is a huge battery thread in this forum, please read through it. However, to start do as below:
Your overnight behavior is not normal. One X uses a 5th core and barely uses any battery while asleep. Usually with auto sync on I consume 2% overnight (usually 8 hours).
Install CPU spy and Better Battery stats. With CPU spy reset the counter before going to sleep and check the sleep % in the morning, it should be above 90% at 0 mhz. Check if it has several minutes at high mhz (800 to 1200 mhz).
With better battery stats go to other in menu and set custom ref before going to sleep. Check in the morning both kernel wakelocks and partial wakelocks. Check if there are any apps generating the most wakelocks . You could have some of the following consuming your battery overnight (I had all of these):
- weak wifi or data signal generates a lot of kernel wakelocks as the phone is constantly scanning for signal.
- some weather widgets have generated me constant wakelocks
- Facebook, Currents, Flipboard all of those constantly update and consume battery.
Also if your HOX is new at first battery life sucks. Believe me it will get way better after a couple of weeks.
try installing ther latest firmware (2.17). if you cant install then search install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970
works like a charm for me and helps the battery to last longer!

[Q] Best way to save battery life (reasonably speaking)

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.

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 )

[Q] Battery drain when idle

Hey guys,
Wanted to know what your experiences with battery life were like.
When I go to sleep, I switch off wifi, bluetooth and data. When I woke up after 8 hours, the phone had lost 7%. Seems to be quite a high number for it being dormant.
In battery settings, the 'Phone Idle' option was top of the list for battery drain.
Anyone else experience battery drain here? What have you done to help improve it?
Cheers.
What's your reception like?

Don't you need root to use better battery stats? Phone hasn't been rooted yet.
Signal strength is decent, not full bars, but close to it.
My last 2 phones (N5 and OPO) have had really good drain whilst dormant, so puzzling as to why this one is playing up!

Did a factory reset and it was better... Teach it who's boss...
Last night my phone was off the charger, at 100% to begin with, at around 2 am. I checked it at 6 am and I was still at 100%. For me, idle power usage has been very low.

Ya you need root. Goto WiFi settings then advanced and see if the 2nd option is on, (its something like apps scan for network even if its off) turn that off. If you want to stop Google play services from waking phone from privacy guard that helps a lot too.

The other thing I did (not sure if it is related) was to disable all the VZW apps and processes. WHen I did that I only lost 13% when left over night and I was down to a respectable 73% after a full day of work (though I intentionally did not use my phone much during that time)
This phone sleeps unbelievably well, better than any other phone I've owned. It flatlines very nicely
I did not manage to factory reset the phone overnight, but I did notice that the battery life whilst sleeping was incredible.
Over an 8 hour sleep, I had dropped 2% battery life. I switch data and wifi off when I go to bed. Now I'll keep an eye on SOT. Hoping to hit the 4hr mark. On my first few days, I got 2.5 hrs.

Even I Am experiencing same problem. Any one plz help
I have the International H815 and I have the same problem. Battery drains too much on idle. When I look the battery stats the Doze mode rarely kick ins. Location is off Bluetooth off and I'm on wifi. When Doze works I have really good battery and I can hit 4h of SoT when not I can barely hit 2.5h of SoT. This must be some kind of bug. Phone does not goes to sleep and Doze rarely kicks in.

Huge decline in standby time.

For the last 2 days I've been seeing a huge decline in standby time. Last night I went to bed at 100%. A little more than 6 hours later and I was down to 88%
The battery settings shows no apps using battery and the full device usage only shows Android System, Phone Idle, Android OS and Mobile network standby.
GSam shows 70% of battery for app usage but won't say which apps and as already mentioned the battery settings shows no apps using battery.
I also haven't installed any new apps in the last two days either. I even rebooted my phone last night right before I unplugged it when I went to bed.
I usually lost like 2% over 7-8 hours of standby. Now I'm losing like 12% in just over 6 hours of standby.
That's a standby power usage increase of like 6x for what seems like no reason.
Any ideas of what could be going on?

In my experience 1%/hr while in standby not being touched at all(doze) is NOT common. It's usually like 0.333% for me. Your claim of 1%/hr would result in an 8% drain in 8 hours. I usually see 2-3% over 8 hours.
I will try to remember to use safe mode when I go to sleep tonight but since I haven't installed any new apps in the last several days and the battery stats don't mention any apps using a lot of battery I don't expect much difference.

FB app is the devil!
When on the 6P I was losing a ton of batt life after installing the FB app.
I uninstalled it and used a bookmark on my home screen to access FB via browser, and my batt life immediately jumped back to where it was.
FaceBook app or 25% less batt life? See ya FB!
As far as the OP question: I'd suspect something is going on in the background as I have two apps that are recognized as using battery in the background and I only lose 3-5% overnight.
Could you have changed a setting and forgotten about it (GPS, WiFi scanning, sync, etc,) or is it possible your service/signal has been really poor the last few days?
Good luck figuring it out!

Good luck figuring it out!

FB was the one that really stood out as a huge batt life killer. Any app that's constantly checking for and sending notifications will likely put a good dent in your batt life as well.
Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

snapchat is another common one
there are also a decent bit of ram/storage "cleaner" apps that besides being useless drain your battery
Do you have an exchange account syncing with Gmail?
