Please help. Poor battery life. (Please see inside) - HTC One X

instead of flooding all other threads I thought of creating one of my own.
I am running ARHD 8.1 with faux kernel 006. Previously I was on stock kernel with ARHD but due to poor battery life I flashed faux kernel. With gsam battery monitor I saw that my HOX kernel is consuming 40% of battery. After flashing the kernel it remained the same. What is the matter I don't know. Is this the reason of poor battery life? This is my screenshot:
I also
Installed system tuner. The CPU is always running at 1ghz and doesn't allow me to change it. What could be the problem. I am totally messed up.

I noticed that you seem to have flashed and done a lot of mods to your phone.
Try flashing it back to stock, leave it that way for a week and let it stabilize.
You're doing too much expecting magic instantly.

Thanks but how to flash it back to stock? And does HOX automatically turns on when fully charged? It happened to me everything I charged my device when it was on.
Should I revert back to stock or should I wait for a few days with ARHD+faux kernel?
Btw I have installed system tuner. Any settings you recommend to save up more juice? I am a total noon with all these.don't wanna duck up my device again. I am leaving with full charged. Let's see how it goes.
P.S. just checked the battery consumption and these are the stats:
Kernel-42%
System(HTC launcher)-9.2%
Internet-2.3%
Charge is draining by 1% every 30 secs. Wow.

I use watchdog to see what's using the cpu and causing battery drain. Maybe try that app?
I agree with the poster above- go back to stock and wait it out..
If all fails then you might even have a faulty battery which is covered under warranty, but because of unlocked bootloader its risky trying to claim it.

Dude. Flash to stock. Don't install any battery apps. Wait one week.

Oh yeah. Don't install system tuner, setcpu, anything. Leave it stock.

can u guide me or send me a link on how to flash to stock rom and kernel

1. Find the correct RUU for your devices. They are in a stickied thread in the development section.
2. Flash stock recovery.
3. Relock boot loader. (fastboot oem lock)
4. Run the RUU.
To find the right RUU, use fastboot oem readcid and post your cid here and I'll tell you if I know the RUU. I'm not sure where to get the stock recovery, but this is what I've read others say about returning to stock.

i am on ARHD which is stock so do i need to flash stock recovery. where to get the RUU and stock recovery? even on the stock kernel with ARHD i was getting my kernel using 40%. so should i just change the rom? if so suggest me one rom
edit: i went out at 9:00a.m with 100% came home at 1:30 with only 14%. had two reboots and only1hr screen on. there cant be anything terrible than this. will charging it again and again work. also the cpu doesnt fall below 1200mhz. its between 1200 1400 and 1500. i just want good battery life whether its dual core or quadcore. charge was 20% just after 1sec it fell to 14%. app usage is 54% with 41% consumed by kernel

You might have something eating your battery. And yes, you do need to flash stock recovery in order to run an RUU.

I installed cm10 and battery life is so far good. Just on my first charge cycle and got 35% left with 2hr 18min screen on. Is it good?

You cant really tell with your first cycle, you seem to keep a rom for a couple of days complain then switch. You need to wait a week or so to let the battery settle so to speak.

That sounds great to me. I usually get to 15% with 1hr 48m screen time.

My battery life is very good on stock rooted. Run stock for a week and let it calibrate. 1 days results are meaningless.

Good or bad we don't know. Depends on usage type of data used, signal, screen brightness, auto sync and various other factors that can contribute to draining of the battery.
But that seems average anyway so not that bad.

Run arhd super wipe Install a clean rom like aosp and don't install any apps, seems like you have a rouge app do you restore apps from titanium? Use watchdog like mentioned it will alert you when any app is being naughty and running cpu when not necessary.

Poor battery after rooting

Granting applications Root access does absolutely nothing to effect your reception or your battery. Notice the Big period
Installing apps that constantly run in the background, will kill your battery.

You gotta get a ROM. You will find that they are improved with more battery life than stock. And Jangst is absolutely right. Rooting.will have no affect on your battery life other than your display being up so bright.or running applications in background.

I feel ya there. I'm the same way. I am using the deodex stock rom from Bubby though. Just in case I want to do stuff later on.
I also tried different kernels and am now back with the stock one. I got worse battery with non stock kernels. People will say otherwise, but I use my phone the same daily, and I can easily tell.
"Omg 28 hours battery on one charge" <- Nope, ain't happening if you actually use your phone like I do....

Which root method did you use?
You may have inadvertently screwed up the battery stats while rooting!
So you may need to recalibrate the battery.
I resisted rooting for the 1st two weeks and I can say I definitely get better battery like with Juggernaut and Bullet.
So give this a try.
Here ya go
Try charging to 100% then
Shut off, Pull battery for about 1 minute, replace, and charge to 100% and with the charger still plugged in
Boot to recovery
Wipe cache partition, then in advance wipe Dalvik and wipe Battery Status
Reboot after 5 to 10 min, unplug the charger and reboot
Or before Flashing a ROM or Kernel
My personal theory is that flashing on something other than 100% full battery screws up the calibration! So,,
Charge to 100% before Flashing
Then only wipe Wipe cache partition, then in advance wipe Dalvik and DO NOT wipe Battery Status
Works for me
If you don't have recovery!
Try charging to 100% then
Shut off, Pull battery for about 1 minute, replace, and charge to 100% and with the charger still plugged in
Reboot and try the following posted by explodingboy70
Calibrate your battery!
- There seems to be a safety feature in Gingerbread or Samsung's version of Gingerbread that causes the battery to start draining when it reaches 100%. That said to calibrate your battery properly you must do it as soon as the battery full pop up appears.
- Download the app found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1024867 and follow the on screen instructions.

You should give the custom kernels at least a week to set in. I didn't get amazing battery until like 5-6 days after I flashed bullet kernel. I'm on stock rom as well....

at this point we don't know what ROM/kernel zakkkkk is using, so droidzone's may not even be compatible.
calibrating does not increase battery life, just might stop if from shutting down suddenly at a higher than normal percentage.

so what rom/kernel combination are you running at the moment, did this occur after flashing something/installing an app?
in the battery usage, is it shown as awake during this time? i would check using something like betterbatterystats to see if anything is accidentally keeping it awake.
if there is still a problem, make a nandroid and do clean install of your ROM or 2.3.3 RUU without installing anything else, see if the problem still persists. may then be hardware.
(can't remember exactly, but i think the dialer issue could have been a gb sense error, which reported it much higher than it actually was actually using. i remember clicking the dialer battery use and seeing the actual cpu usage and runtime was minimal)
im using droidzones supernova rom and have been using it for about 6 months now. my battery life has been excellent. this problem only occurred today. i installed a few apps/games over the weekend but i dont know which one is causing this. i have also tried uninstalling a few but with no affect. are the any apps in the market that show which apps are draining battery?

sounds like you've partially answered your own question...
if you were having excellent battery life, then suddenly went bad after installing something, then this is the likely cause...

Battery Drain CM10 - HTC ONE X

Hi, It doesnt matter which Jellybean ROM I install, my battery drain is shocking. Even when i turn off wifi and use mobile data or vice versa i have the same results. I am lucky if I get 8 hours. Overnight I lose 50% in 8 hours. During the day I am lucky to reach 4 pm. Does any one have any ROM that doesnt have this issue? Juice Defender etc do not help this issue
Sounds similar to the issue I'm having - something is keeping the phone from going into Deep Sleep. Download CPU Spy from the Market and check if Deep Sleep is a frequency not being used, it is on mine...I'm currently running Trip's CM10 ROM with NO apps installed and I'm still having the issue so must be something keeping it awake
Try also using 2G only. Your phones 3G reception may be using a lot of power if you are in a low signal area.

In my case that shouldn't be an issue as I'm on WiFi at all times. Sense ROMs have no issues on 3G either so it's either a badly written kernel or the ROM just doesn't like a bad signal area (which my work office is in, hence the WiFi)
Power drain has nothing to do with weather you are using Mobile Data or wifi. Your phone is trying very hard to remain registered in the 3G network hence the drain.

Thanks pal, i am on the same tripndroid rom with the TripNDroid 3.1.10 Kernel. I have tried allsorts. Deep sleep is not being used on mine either. Must be a CM JB bug then at the mo.
My battery usage still says around 50% for screen though. I think infact this was up near 65% on stock 4.0.4.
I'm an TeamNDVRu's cm10 with stock kernel. Mine deep sleeps fine. In 22 hours since last charge, 1 hour talk and 2:45 screen in time. 28% left.
Try using BetterBatteryStats or similar to see what's keeping yours awake

You have to flash the boot.img in the zip file using

Fastboot flash boot boot.img
From your pc.

Battery Life Decreasing Rapidly

Hi To All
I need help. I have my HOX stocked 4.0.4 rooted, installed with ncx 2.1.7 v13 kernel. I realised that my battery drain is about 4-5% an hour or so. It was worsed with stock kernel. To add in, every 2 hours or so, there will be high current usage notification from currentwidget. Can someone guide me what is the best kernel for battery life, n do i need to have other settings like governor or anything else to maximise my battery?
By the way, i have only go keyboard, currentwidget, rom toolbox pro and applications that does not use startup. And i can't flash a custom rom due to my HOX cid is htc_044....
I seriously need a good kernel with good battery life or a compatible custom rom with htc_044.
Thanks alot to those who can help me.

Have you got screen brightness turned down to what is acceptable mine is on 25%or around that. Also have you let battery do a full charge and discharge cycle. EG let battery discharge just below 14% My battery is alot better now then when i first had the phone, It does take a week or so to get better battery life after a few charging cycles. Also now you have flashed new give it a couple of days before you start to compare to let it settle so to speak.

When did u flash Viper ROM? U need to give the phone at least 3-4 charge cycles before complaining about battery life...Faux variant Free V11 for me is the best..have a look...but the most important thing is let the phone go through at least a couple charge cycles..and trust u will notice a huge improvement in the battery life.
NO. Don't discharge your phone. Li-ion batteries don't need discharge cycles. If you do that, it loses battery life.

Nope. The best for me was ncx kernel with viperx Rom, it needs to settle down (2-3 days) and I have 3-5 screen on time depending on tasks I do.
To the op.
I cant say anything about your problem, since you havent said anything about your current batteey time.
You can try all kernels available here on the forum, because all of them are compaitable with ics.
There are 1001 of battery threads, so no need to open new one. Just go and read, me myself wrote about 5 big posts about battery Life and how you make it netter...no need to repeat it at all.

Battery drain on 4.2.2 Roms

Hey guys, I have a terrible problem here. The problem is that I got tired of Sense and I love stock android 4.2 and I just cannot use roms built on that android version because the battery drain is humongous. Using my phone just to check twitter and facebook and it goes down in 3 hours. I tried Cyannogen Mod and I'm now on Icecoldjelly both with Xm kernel and it is always the same. This is terribly annoying because the roms are perfect and so is the phone, except for that battery. Does anybody recommend I do something, are there some mods/tweaks to increase battery life? Is I cleared battery stats and performed more than 3 charge cycles, in case you ask. Thank you, hope you can help me

haha! and I thought I was the only one... I see people who are getting 15-18 hours on ICJ...
I also get terribly low battery backup... even though battery is calibrated.. Sync off... Auto Brightness.. etc etc...
However, on sense roms I get great battery!

This is terribly annoying because the roms are perfect and so is the phone, except for that battery. Does anybody recommend I do something, are there some mods/tweaks to increase battery life? Is I cleared battery stats and performed more than 3 charge cycles, in case you ask. Thank you, hope you can help me

I would suggest a faulty battery, I use mine for twit and fb too and a whole load of other stuff but i get a lot more than 3 hours. I am on slimbean 4.2 now but I have tried cyanogen 10.1 and icj, both of which gave me similar battery life to slim, although neither of them could equal slimbean they were not as bad as you are experiencing

But the battery is fine in sense roms so that is a bit hard to believe. This is really crazy, in 4 hours today it got to 25%, one of those hours being in standby. I'll try some other roms

The reply wasn't intended to get you to try slim, only to show that not all 4.2 roms are as heavy on battery. there are plenty of others to try, I just prefer slim
I get around this much:

Not that bad... Not good either! :/

I'd say thats about normal, but the op's 3 hours is seriously wrong. I would have to use navigation, music, facebook, twitter and XDA all at the same time to run my battery down that fast
With minimal usage I got around 5/6 hours. I'm going to try other roms and settings to see if I get this right. I'm currently on slim. I'll see how it performs tomorrow. If it goes bad then wth, I'll just go back to a Sense rom
Disable auto sync/fb location... use trickster mod and set governor to smartmax and IO scheduler to row/sio...
Cap the max frequency to 1.2 GHz... Use greenify to hibernate apps which you don;t need..
There is absolutely no lag for me... When I want to play some games I just switch to interactive or gaming governor!
Thanks everybody, I found my daily driver, today I got 13 hours with regular usage and still 25% to go, slimbean is the best. Even if it was not a recommendation to test the rom, it helped a lot
