Battery life

This phone is only lasting me about 8 hours before my battery will die. What can I do to help out my battery?

download an app call battery calibration, then after a full night of charging, go to that app and calibrate with the charger plug still in, after its done reboot phone and take it off the charger. drain the battery until it shuts off by itself. charge it back up while its off. then continue to use as normal. wait a couple days to see if the battery gets any better. my phone doesnt last too long either, im thinking of replacing the battery to see if thats the problem

Try removing some apps, that worked for me there was some apps that were sucking up my battery.

slap on a extended battery!

Kiss it three times, say two Hail Mary's and toss it over your left shoulder.
No seriously, battery life is very dependent on many things, and your statement doesn't come close to providing enough information for anyone to give you any real help. At minimum you need to provide the following during your 8 hours ...
- Total Display on time
- Brightness setting
- What you have auto syncing and how often
- Average signal strength
- Usage pattern (web browsing, calls, streaming video, etc.)
- Widgets on your home screens
- Screenshots of your battery usage and graph

My phone will also last around 8 hours if im constantly using it.

Thanks everyone for the responses. I will try out all the advice.

With moderate use, I get about 20 hours. With heavy use I get about 10-12. It's still enough to get me through the day
Love this phone!

[Q] android OS

in the battery usage graph what does the android OS include? and i've noticed on this phone it takes up ALOT of battery, why is that? is there a way to "cool its jets"?
i dont know if this matters but im rooted and running the STARBURST ROM.
thanks for any and all info that you could give me

HAHA it's Android. Things that are required for Android to run. The way to fix it would be to buy a dumb phone without Android.

Im having this problem as well with cm7. Android OS being the top consumer killing by battery.

I have been having this problem for about a week now (stock ROM). This is after a full charge the night before and I took the screenshot in the morning.

You will always have high Android OS until you start using the phone. After a full day's use, it should read 20-25% if your setup is dialed in. It will show less with Rogue kernels. They have it masked somewhat

But the phone was down to 85% power just sitting overnight.
Is that normal? (Serious question, not being a smart-ass.)

Not for me it wasn't lol, way slower than stock, and i was out performing quadrant and linpack tests on stock.

Going down %15 overnight sounds typical. Are talking like 8-10 hours?

It"s "typical," but it is NOT what this device is capable of.
The Android OS usage is not supposed to happen. It's a bug, albeit an omnipresent and seemingly unkillable one. There is nothing you can do about it except reboot and hope it doesn't re-trigger.
Without triggering the bug, I was able to sleep for eight to ten hours and drop about 2% in that time frame. THAT is what this device is ACTUALLY capable of.

[Q] Battery issue??

Well I feel something is ****ed up with my one x.
I charged it yesterday before I went to sleep and left the device off.
And now when I woke up, I turned it on and saw my battery is 96.
Ok so I left it with the screen off until now, about 3 hours
And I see the battery went down to 83% (When i started to write this topic I were 86%)
What is wrong with the battery?
Never heard about a phone that the battery is still getting down even when its off

Post the battery screen with the usage graph on it. I suspect you have an app preventing deep sleep.

If its not a deep sleep prpble try and wipe battery status helped me or try 8.1.0 my phone working great now and I'm still on stock kernel how is Faux going to try it soon

I will try to flash the new version 8.1

Battery charge level went up without charging?
That's very strange, but during that time the screen was on and it wasn't sleeping.
It's all a bit odd.

Is anyone else's battery on crack?

Usually I can go a full 16 hour work day without needing an extra charge, then last week it started not holding the charge so well. In fact Tuesday it had 30% and I left the house for half an hour, and when I came back the phone had shut off and was at 0. I hadn't even touched it. I am on a mix of Wi-Fi and LTE. Anyway, that was odd. Now look at the battery usage...

Do you have a screenshot of the stats when the battery went all out of whack?

My android system has been going crazy the last week or so, usually would be at 5% our do but lately has been 40+ easy... been to lazy to wipe and re flash as I'm sure that will fix the issue, but lately I've been near power all the time so it hasn't really bothered me.

I flashed with Highonandroid and got 30+ hours. Probably could have gotten double if I didn't kill half of it installing all my apps back on.
What rom are you using?
On the stock image I was only getting 9 hours.

i never truly understood why people boast of their battery life when they have the screen on for 10 minutes in 2 days

if you are not using a phone, turn it off and the battery will hold charge for many, many days.

Unfortunately it won't be that much. Maybe someone can explain how it gets measured. Look at mine for example.

How are you all getting so much battery life out of it?
Mine doesn't even last a day, with like 1 hour screen time.
Any tip appreciated, thanks.

Im also losing battery fast...even when im not using it, kept it in deep sleep, it still losing battery about 1% in 5 minute...is any kernel that good with battery life...there is something that eating the power...

me too is losing the battery fast, even after updated to ARHD 17.1 (JB), it sucks a lot where it could drop to 40% within four hours and minimal screen on usage. Really make me wonder if it is hardware problem because have flashed different ROM but still yield the same result.

hit it with a thunder...that should do the trick

I think the best battery life Rom it is venom viperx...after 24 hours with 3 g and data on I have 2%...the screen was on 2h13 m with auto brightness and calls 1h55m...some mails,facebook,xda...I think i'm not gonna try jb...this rom it's perfect and verry customizable:thumbup::beer:

I also had major problems with battery life on my HOX. My solution so far is to dissable synchronization of Google Contacts, This gives me a gain of at least 50% generally.
I've attempted to dissable services one by one, and Contacts appears to be the culprit.
Try this and let us know..
Edit:
Im on stock JB european rom

Been watching a movie on MXplayer and battery is down to 68% from 100%, screen on time is 1 hour 50 minutes. Which suggests that I can watch movies for 4 hours+.
Don't have the screenshots to prove it now that i've started charging my phone.
Oh yeah, matt95 measured it by the screen using 45% out of those hours, which equals 9.3 hours. Doubt that it's right though.
