I received my One X yesterday and noticed some pretty big issues:
- The Battery on the phone is shocking, I agree that once you get a phone, you play on it more than usual, but after just 4 hours, my battery was at critical level
- The Lag is shocking for a quad-core phone - especially on apps. For example, when I downloaded Fatbooth on my One X and Desire, the desire was so smooth, moving the markers, scrolling the pictures, but one the One X there was an unbearable amount of lag Why is this? Something to do with the companion core?
Anyway, I was wondering if flashing a new ROM will siginificantly fix these issues, what ROM's out there can do that?
Many Thanks

1. It'll get better once you get to normal working use
2. Apps aren't written to properly utilise the quad core yet - they'll get better once the Devs pull their fingers out
Running any custom rom will fix your issues did for me I'm running tbalden - CM10 couldn't be happier. Try Viper 1.0.1 for a sense ROM or cm10 senseless. Both give awesome battery life I get 4hrs + screen time with total at least 15hrs.

Any ROM can help you, but if you dont want to root your HOX and you would like to stay on the stock ROM, download "Hidden settings" from google play, and in the newly created "Power saver settings" app, disable the the second option, which says "Reduce CPU speed", because if its turned on it means you'll have only 1 of the 4 cores working, and even that 1 core works on 1000mhz only. Oh you should use this "Hidden settings" stuff even if you move to other Sense-based ROM, because usually they will have these stock settings...I hope you understanded my post, my english isnt the best

Thank you very much! I shall try that
Well Venom Rom increase battery life but it will still not be great but no lag and so many things u can do and choice on viper Rom venom its a great rom. The battery is just very horrible and not being able to swap it, is already criminal. There should be no phone that doesn't allow a swap of a battery.

hey m8 and do u think that this is normal battery life? i mean one hour of screentime? I do get about the same times with as u with likely having 3g on all the time, depends also on how heavy i use it, sometime i get 2 hours screentime too but thats really absolut maximum. I dont know whats wrong but i also get such terrible batterylife and i am really thinking to swap this ****y phone for an s3. i see others getting as said 4 hrs of screentime that lets me think there some peeople are having hardware issues with the battery or better said faulty batteries. What do u think?
I mean i paid about 500€ for this and i get a laggy and short-battery-life phone that ist performance wise worse then my old sensation or desire?? Also said this is already my second HOX as the first wont had to be replace due to heavy screen flickering, and now my second is having absolut terrible battery life. I am not anything then pleased anymore and i think i understand why htc is getting more and more into financial problems. My next phone will guaranted NOT be an HTC anymore -.-

with screen on and doing nothing the phone will probably use the 5th core to save energy, try to play a game , 1:20 hour of gaming and 2 hrs of screen on and you will finish your battery.
however i consider this a good battery life, with hd2, much slower and with smaller/less brighter screen i got probably less battery life

It was noticeably better (I used to have it), with this phone I have to actually monitor my battery and worry about playing games etc, whereas on the S3, sometimes It would last me nearly 2 days!
I always have data on usually 3G and max I get is about 2 hours screen on time with around 13-14 hours before it dies.
Whether that's good or bad I don't know compared to others but you have to remember everyone's usage is different signal also plays a part on drain.
I have mine on auto brightness and exchange syncing, Gmail syncing, weather syncing and Facebook syncing.

I am looking for a rom with good battery life, I just got the phone and I love it, but it should have a bigger battery! My Cliq XT had a biiger battery, at 1390 mA lol. I have tried CM7-RC1 and now I'm on CM7 Nightly (released on the 25th). Currently downloading Virtuous and will give that a shot.
Stock ROM. Period.
I have been unsuccessful in finding a ROM that can match the crazy battery life that I got on stock.
I used to get 30+ hours on stock. Now, I can't get more than 10 for sure..
I keep jumping from ROM to ROM, maybe that could be an issue too with battery stats in CWM and stuff... but as far as I'm concerned, stock is the best option for the best battery life.
Sent from my Liquid Metal using XDA App
I noticed No difference with stock over any cm rom i have used. Battery sucks. Htc overall sucks with battery life. For some reason any htc device i ever had sucks balls. My mt4g was probably the only good phone in terms of battery.
Otherwise htc is retarded.... 1200mah is plain dumb on a smartphone.
From my permarooted 1209mhz G2 with CM7 nightly 6
Different people have different results. You're gonna see someone with every rom in the dev section claiming ridiculous battery life. When it comes down to it you have to realize everyone uses their phone different and the rom isn't gonna make the biggest difference, its how u configure and use it.
No matter the rom, using things like SetCPU, juicedefender, etc. and other battery savers can improve ur battery life. Most dev roms are going to offer better performance and life, just choose one you like and set it up the way u like it. The only way to know what to rom offers the best life for u is trying several and comparing.

No. I'm not kidding. Rooted via the non-ADB method. Flashed CM6.1.1 and didn't mess about with any different kernels or radios.
However, when I try CM7, my battery life is halved. Maybe I got lucky. Best battery life I've ever had on a smartphone. Not even my old Dash lasted this well.

Its because hes hardly using his phone... If you have a screen off profile and let your phone sit for long extents of time you can easily get that kinda life. Don't expect it when you actually use it regularly or keep the screen on for any length of time. See these are the people I'm talking about. You're always gonna find someone running every ROM out there that say he/she gets great battery life on it.
I personally am on CM7 overclocked to 1ghz and im at 43% battery with 12h 34m of usage today. General usage off and on, texting all day and some phone calls/app usage etc. The problem is I can easily have days where I only get 12h out of the whole battery because I'm on the phone all day doing things.
Even something as small as signal strength where you use your phone can effect your battery life numbers. take every battery life screenshot with a large grain of salt. The best thing about the battery meter in 2.3 is that it at least shows how long the screen has been off so you can tell when people just idle their phones to claim huge battery life numbers.
That is one of the things I really liked about CM7. The battery graph.
Never said I was a heavy user. I quantified my average use by time and activity. Still, with the same average use, my battery life on CM6 far outstrips CM7. They're both excellent roms. I like many of the new features in CM7. However, the battery life and GPS troubles influence me to continue using CM6 as my daily driver.
Once I figure out how to replicate the battery life or CM7 hits stable, I'll gladly upgrade.
Try out some CM7 nightlies.
I'm on nightly 12 and I get excellent battery life: as much or even better than stock. GPS also works without a hitch. I remember my first lock took like 20s max. And navigated without a data connection using Navigate (voice guided) for 45 minutes without a hitch. After that may bat was at about 79% I ended up not charging until 15 hours later.
So yes, Nightly 12, atleast for me, is solid. And I will never upgrade until something better comes along.. like the Meizu rom.. your mileage will vary though.

Hallo !
My battery Life is annoying me..! And I don't know what to do...
Im on Stock Rom XML8 atm. (ROOTED, CWM NOT installed). I was on Rebel Rom, ICS etc. before, and the battery life was awfull..!
I flashed stock Rom XLM8.. thaught Stock would have a better battery life time. But it does not..!
Today my wonder really ****** me off..! (sorry for the language..) So Im gonna tell you how I used my phone.
Today's use of my Wonder:
I wake up at 6 am.
My wonder wakes me up. At this time my wonder is at 100% Battery Charge! (It's charging while Im sleeping. about 6-8h)
I go to school, need about 20-30minutes, im listening to music on the way.
After that, I kinda don't use my phone, cause I have classes. I only check the time some times.
During the breaks I don't really use it, sometimes listening to music, check facebook/whatsapp sometimes etc.
But Im not playing hard games..! Not at all !
Well than I had to work on a Projekt, about 4 hours.
When I finished my work, I wanted to call my dad to pick me up, and the battery was at 6%..!
I mean, this isn't normal anymore ! How can it be ?
This is really annoying me !
Meanwhile I have like 6% battery, a good friend had 75% on his HTC Desire HD! And he was listening to music even more than me !
So I think it isn't normal !
What can I do ?
I only listened to music today ! All at all about 70 min. of listening to music ! Why is my battery drain so high ?
The weather isn't refreshing not at all. I do it manually.
And nothing is refreshing or working while it's in sleep mode..!
I just dont get it, and want to know what I can do about that...
Any Rom is working with great battery Life Time ?
I don't even care about the Design anymore..!
The battery is most important for me.
Somebody help..?
PS. I had even locked it down to 1GhZ..
First Check with CPU Spy if deep sleep works normally.
With yor usage profile, you should get about 80% of time spent in deep sleep.
Turn off 3G!

Because you changed rom's, what really helps is an app called battery calibration.
It actually works... it increased my battery time by 16 hours -YES- Sixteen hours.
The app is free on the android market.
-+- Also a good tip is to change you cpu to ondemand
-Min 122mhz
-Max 1ghz
Works fine for me
EDIT: actually it helped by 31 hours, just the battery calibration, ridiculously good.
-I don't know why changing ROM'S messes up my battery.

Well im always using exactly that setup!
But now I underclocked it to 100-200mhz if screen is locked.
So it wont do alot if its locked.
Going to sleep now; right after I tested the calibration app.
Gonna test my set up tomorrow; and I'll write here tomorrow.
I dont want to turn off 3G/H; cause than I wont receive msgs..! Thats one of the most important things for me..! Good tip; but not a possibility for me.
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app-developers app
To do the calibration you need to calibrate the battery when its full.
So open the app with your charger still connected then press calibrate.
Tip- If you turn off your mobile data, it DOES NOT mean you do not receive any calls.
Your calling radio is on even though your data is off.
So if you turn off your 3g data it still means you can receive calls and text but your internet will not work until you turn it back on.
Turn off brightness. It saves battery drain too.
Anyone have tried battery calibration app on google play? Can anyone tell me how my volt that it show on your phone. I read the info on the google play and it say the normal volt should be 2+++ mV. My phone only show 4mV. Please help. Thanks !

Okey, after about 12 hours of Using it today, I want to report it..
First I want to show some Screenshots:
These are some Screenshots I made during the Time.
It got better for sure !
But is there a way to increase it a bit ..?
And one Question:
At the Sixth Screenshot, the battery went down, straight down ! Just like something is falling !
What the heck is that ? I've never seen something like that..!
I mean I've seen some guys, using they're phone about the same as me, and their battery is living 2 days and 5 hours.
My Battery is at 16% now. As you see at the Screenshot.
It's good, I like how it improved. I don't know if it's cause of the battery calibration, or the underclocking in the lockscreen.
Any Tips ?
Thank you all so far
Best option, change your rom. I would recommend either cow or mutant. Baterry lasted 2 days with occasional gaming and music
Sent from my GT-I8150
+1 for Cow!
I'm using Bionic Cow 2, and I can choose between: Snappier performance, same battery life, or; Same performance, longer battery life.
Of course, I'm using the wonderful "CPU Tuner" app to cap the frequency when screen off. And I make sure I'm using the "OnDemandX" governor.
That said, I also have to warn the OP that after 9 months of continuous usage, the battery starts to degrade. In my case, after 9 months, the battery is oh-so-awful, it needs to be charged 3-4 times per day! A quick trip to the service center and changing hands of 15 USD, got me a brand new battery that lasts me a full day.

yeah I understand that. My question was that is battery life supposed to be like this on the OneX ? Idk what kind of battery life its supposed to be getting. The previous phone i came from was lg g2x which with jellybean custom rom ran out every 3 hrs I always had to take my spares with me to make it through the day. I don't do any heavy gaming on my hox just lite puzzle games. I listen to music, sometimes read an ebook, messaging, check emails, and occationally browsing to look something up.
Is undervolting/throttling the t3 possible?
u have the wifi on at all times
no wonder u are having battery issues
try to turn off wifi when not in use
without wifi and data on, I get 1-2% drop in battery overnight (more than 8 hours)
and on a daily basis, I get 1 and half days of battery - normal browsing, gaming, calling
that is after 2nd jellybean update - which aims to improve battery life and remove a few bugs

Try out ncx kernel by neocortex.. it did quite well for my battery life. Also install betterbatterystats app. Sometimes some rowdy app may not allow phone to go to deepsleep. It causes partial wakeblock . The app will allow to check if this is happening. If it is remove that app causing wakeblock

I go to school every weekday for 4-5 hours, which means that the phone is not used that much in this time. Occasional Whatsapp messages and texts and maybe a phonecall lasting a few minues. The wifi is off during this period of time.
After school, I use Facebook, Maps, Google Now, checks mails, chats on Whatsapp and texts on a regular basis. Maybe a few phone calls as well. In the late afternoon / early evening I get home - and Tasker turns on my wifi which lasts until next morning when I leave the house (Tasker automatically turns the wifi off) during the night Titanium Backs up the phone.
I only get apx. one day of battery life, if I start playing all those games you can get... So I more than often don't play games on my phone.
for me its Renovate awesome rom awesome battery awesome theming
Thanks for all the replys guys... I just experienced some wierd stuff again. I charged it over night and its saying its only 66 % charged... Looking at history it apparentlycharged and started drilaining like this: is this supposed to happen? This was on charge the whole time and it was pretty warm when I picked it up off my bed

How much screen time do you have with the picture you posted in the first post?
I have my wi fi on all the time too but I can easily get 20-24 hrs of battery with 3-3.5 hrs of screen time on stock.

Umm I meant how long was your screen lit up. If you have Jelly Bean you need an app like GSAM to check that
its known issue with HOXS battery life sucks on stock rom get custom rom I would rather ARHD great battery life and also greater performance than stock
Right ladies and gents...Not going to bore you with long ass intros and long guides i just want to show you that since i updated my hboot and started using Viper X i have been getting exceptional battery life.
This is with Stock Kernel guide
Now you are asking how is that possible. Simple. First of all make sure you flash stock kernel which you can find here.
Once you flashed the rom and fully updated to the latest OTA leave everything on as it is. I have not messed with any of the syncing of apps or anything else. I just left everything as it is.
Now get yourself either System Tuner or FauxClock apps. They are both cpu apps and highly recommendable that i use. Or just use the Viper Cpu app in tweaks. Now set the following:
Governor: Ondemand
Scheduler : Noop
Cpu clock frequencies to: 1.2GHz as max and leave the min at 102MHz or even right at the lowest
You can not UV stock kernel so no point asking that question.
Now i use wifi on all the time when i am at home. But see here is the trick. When my screen is off i make sure that wifi is sleeping as well. How i do that..Simple.
Settings - Wifi - press Menu - advanced - keep wifi on during sleep and just tick only when plugged in.
Autosync is left on and all my emails are getting synced and i get instant emails when my wifi is on. I use AppyGeek and the widget gets updated with the latest stories all the time as i have that synced all the time.
I do not use Facebook but i do use Twitter and that is on all the time and i also listen to Spotify and Whatsapp is on as well to get instant messages whenever i am on wifi..
Now i do not know if this helps anyone but i just wanted to show what i did and i am managing great battery life on ViperX and this is based on first charge as well..Always make sure you let the rom and kernel to settle and always give a few charge cycles before judging the battery life..
Use this guide as well if you want for other JB roms and you will see that sticking for the moment with stock kernel and using what i have done will work for you like a treat...Call this if you want Rock Solid Config v1.0
Plus use this app. Highly recommend it and that way you can see what is eating your battery and what is keeping your phone awake when screen is off..More info go to the app thread.

Renovate battery results with stock kernel
Nice guide but your screen on seams to be low Imo, i get avarage 4-5hrs without underclocking, simply using power saver from time to time. today before i put my phone on charge i had 1hr 58mins screen on time wifi / sync and everything else on phone was 22hrs 44min active 1hr 26mins of phone call and brigntness 30% left me with 58% of battery. Didn't use powersaver at all, Underclocking sometimes can cause more battery drain then leaving it at 1500 . for example if you do some task that requires lets say 1300mhz with your settings on cpu phone will have to use 2 cores since you limited it onto 1200ghz 1 core and 4cores 1100, Anyway this is just my theory about this lol , don't take it seriously just sometimes my battery lasts longer without power saver or underclocking then leaving it as it is, it all depends on the task and stuff you do. Anyway thx for the guide im sure it will help to alot of ppl =)
IMHO, nothing out of extraordinary here.
I'm on stock and i have the same result, if not better. I manually turn Wifi off when screen is off which is the same as the setting that you applied (Wifi ON - only when plugged in).
People here are going crazy about battery life which is something trivial. Just forget about this and plug the phone when it's empty!

True. But some people do not get good battery life and always moan on how to improve it. So if this guide can help someone then why not

I like the Rom a lot, thank you for providing such an awesome Rom. What i'm not getting right is the battery life of some of the other users. The battery life of my phone seems to be a bit better then stock, but not a lot better. Screen times are between 2 hours and 3 hours and 3 hours seems to be the max with my usage of the phone. I did a lot to improve that battery life. Kernel (android os) seems to be the big battery absorber. I use my phone normally, lot of whatsapp and facebook and checking other news of social sites. Hardly playing any games or something, hardly using GPS and bluetooth. Is that a normal battery life for that usage?

So, questions about your fipo:
- When switching off wifi when screen is off, do you still get incomings whatsapp messages, facebook messages, e-mail etc?
- You're talking about a good battery life, what is good in your opinion?

Good battery life is to be able to go through a day without having to charge your phone a couple of times...Screen on if you can get anything over 3hrs is pretty good..Even 2.5hrs is pretty decent in my eyes.
when switching off wifi when screen is off no you will not get messages...once you turn the screen on though every single message will come through..
If you download deep sleep battery saver from the market you can adjust the time that the wifi goes off during the screen is off and you can have it so every hour say about five minutes you can get messages coming through if you feel that you want them
Gonna start testing battery life on Renovate now..Await results in the next few days.. Trying different governor this time round
Im using system tuner you recommended. I applied governor and cpu clock correctly I think. But Where do I find scheduler?

Leave scheduler as it is. Now need to mess with that. It will be on Noop. Unless you are using Trips kernel

Hey all,
Just wondering how people are doing on battery life after the update. I moved from BoneStock back to the stock(ish) ROM, and I personally am struggling on battery life right now. It is early though and I'll make adjustments. Just wondering how it's going for everyone else.

May be hard to compare a stock non-rooted phone to a custom ROM even if it stock. Seems like every dev puts in something "for better battery life"
I'm stock, locked, S-On, 4.4 and my battery life is great. Though I'm comparing it to my old phone, Rezound, where I couldn't get out my front door without it dropping 10%
I make it through a full day no problems and I'd consider myself an "average" user.

I haven't noticed a huge difference, but Bonestock 4.3 was definitely better. I'm on NuSense which isn't stock but it's pretty close with a few optimizations. Are you checking in the stats to see if it's an app that's killing your battery? I've had a few occasions when Google location services killed my battery for no apparent reason.
I haven't spent much time yet trying to identify and fix the issues, but I'll start looking at it. I wonder what it is they do to improve the battery life in the custom roms...

I tried the phone back when it was 4.2 and battery was not great, could barely make it till end of work.
Now on 4.4 battery has improved quite a bit. Can easily make it til end of day. Btw I'm s-off stock no root.

My wife's on a totally stock version of the phone, with the latest OTA. I'm on Santod's odexed rooted version of the OTA. 3.11.605.1 in both cases.
We're both seeing a slight decrease in battery life, but nothing too significant.
It's hard to compare battery life because I'm constantly messing with my phone, playing games, changing icon sets, making and deleting widgets etc., while my wife uses hers for phone calls and email and pretty much nothing else. She's never installed an app. I was going to S-off her phone, just to have it done, but our daughter installed the first OTA update before I got around to it. (The 2.10.605.1). She's 9, and enjoys showing my wife how to do stuff on her phone. Stuff that my wife then enjoys forgetting.
Having said that it's hard to compare battery life, I'll do just that. She gets better life than I do, and could likely go 48 hours on a charge. Her biggest power user is the email function - which is the stock email app that came with the phone.
Battery Guru used to tell me I could go 32 hours on a charge, but after flashing Santod's latest ROM I had to uninstall and reinstall it, and so far it's not giving me the same projected life numbers as it used to. I don't mean it's projecting less hours, I mean it's not giving hours of life expectancy at all. I can't remember if it took a few days last time before it started giving the projections - I only flashed the ROM last Friday.
Before the update I would be at somewhere between 70-80% at the end of a day, my wife would be 80+%. Now I'm closer to 60%, she's in the 70's.
My battery life may well improve still with Battery Guru. Would it make sense to re-install it on her phone and let it "learn" all over again?
the 4.4 update is draining too fast.
I went from the 4.2.2 BoneStock ROM to the new 4.4 version and my battery life easily doubled. I can make it about 28 hours on a full charge.
battery in 4.4 is s*ck.
i would prefer 4.3 for the battery life.
I noticed actually better battery life for 4.4 on bonestock. Im running with the elemental kernel and underclocked it, also i have some tweaks in tasker that keep my phone pretty efficient. overall i'm seeing around anywhere from 15 to 20 hours of battery life with depending on how long i have my bluetooth on and other things like that. ill post a screen shot later when i get home of my actual times.
I am having the strangest battery drain 4.4.2. 6-8 hours with less than an hour of screen time
I text a pretty good bit throughout the day and my battery life seems to go pretty quickly:/ I'm completely stock as well no root or anything.....yet. I'm hoping once they get a root/s-off/unlock method out for the 4.4.2/sense5.5 software, that I can do a custom Rom and fix all that.

With pretty heavy use I tend to see between 6 and 9% per hour according to better battery stats. My screen on percentage is probably within 18 to % most of the time. I'm running rooted stock with xposed and a tweak to stock that allows me to select power saver mode in settings.

temporary fix:
-Settings->Data Usage->(dots)->Restrict background data (yes this does make it harder to synchronize content)
-wifi off (if you have more than one bar of signal)
That temporary fix boosted my battery from a days use to two days. I blame Verizon for wakelocking our phone.
Hi there! Well, I consider myself an average user. Take a look at the screen shot. Numbers talk the best
BTW my SGN II gets about 5 hours of screen on time and has much bigger battery, so I'm happy with what I get on my One running 4.4.2 with sense 6.0 by hawk and ecliptic team powered by Lunar Ellie oc.

I think this should be the best phone for last year. S4 is overated for me since they have added a lot of stuff that we do not really use. here with my HTC one, it is customized the way we use it. And I can say the best part is that my battery can last for a day if my internet is off. If I'm casually using it with internet, it can run for almost 8 hours.
