One X+ battery is compatible with One X [Update 5] + VIDEO - HTC One X

Hello!
It is known that HTC One X+ comes with a battery with more mAh than HTC One X. The difference is fairly 300mAh. We are all wondering if the HOX+ battery fits in HOX?
I just checked out the new battery and main board from HTC One X+ and compared it to our HOX. The battery should be compatible with HOX as it is the exact same size and everything.
Ill replace it and report you the difference.
Also, the main board from HTC One X+ looks like HOXs, it has some minor changes regarding heat dispatching. Pins and connectors are the same so it should be switchable with HOX. Will try that next week and report to you..
VIDEO of how I did it:
This video is not meant to be a full how-to.
It is just to clarify what needs to be done when changing the battery!
If you decide to do this by yourself I take no reponsibility for bricked and damaged devices.
Your warranty can void after you open your device. If you are unsure about the procedure, don't do it!
UPDATE 1 (15min of use):
First notice, charging the battery seems a bit slower. I'd say it is because of 300mAh more that needs to charge - it seems to work flawlessly. 3.6 - 3.7V when using phone, 4.0V when charging so those are the same I will change my system to maXimus 6 as I currently use v4.1 so you will have better look at the battery performance.
UPDATE 2 (2hours of use):
I am absolutely thrilled about the performance of the battery! I am not going to talk about capacity and long lasting battery because it makes no point as it is too soon and battery is not calibrated yet (we need to wait a few days for that) but about difference regarding heat!
When I did some bechmarks with my original hox battery it was alwas hitting about 47℃ and when I was playing nfs:most wanted battery reached unbelievablish fiftytwoes! Now with hox+ battery its ℃ is only at 38℃ and after 40min of nfs:most wanted battery is only at 41℃!!!! It is absolutely more heat friendly and after few hours of it I can only say it is unarguably awesome stay tuned for more!
UPDATE 3 (6hours of use):
Phone feels heavier and more solid! That extra weight (just a lil extra!) gives me a great feeling in my hand. Once again, the temperature of the device is about 5-10℃ lower at all times (surfing on the net, calls, games). There are no more fast and rapid % drops. The battery drain could be related to the heat of battery itself - since hox+ battery is cooler, those drains are gone. I can see some difference in battery performance - power on time, but it is too soon to tell more. My opinion: a little change for the device that makes it look like its on drugs.
UPDATE 4 (3days of use):
I did some battery tests today, tho only 1 day after installed new rom (v8 from football). You have the picture bellow. I am impressed with the battery already.
I can once again confirm all the 3 UPDATEs again: temperature is lower, phone just little heavier, needs more time to fully charge.
Most important: I can deffenitely tell that it already lasts longer. % drops are slower - one of the best feelings after you use One X (battery hungry device) for a while. I'll post my first one-day usage report in a day CHEERS!
UPDATE 5 (4days of use):
So this is the first battery stat update. I can only tell that I am absolutely amazed about how easy I got almost 6hours of screen ON! With 17% battery left! That really is outstanding. It is not only the capacity that makes the difference - heat drained the original battery (gone with the new one x+ battery) and thats the reason for even better result in my opinion.
Check out the pictures:
(Running on the "maXimus V8.0.1")

Looking at the picture, the X+ battery is rated 3.8V, and not 3.7.
That may cause issues with charging circuit, for example.

Very interesting... will follow your updates.

that change is irrelevant, it does not effect charging circuit. that battery from hox+ is within acceptable normal range for a full charge. nothing to worry about. also its a minimal change that can't affect your phone as it only has single phase electric power

Can you post some screenshots of battery info and performance after a few days using it? Thanks

Where did you get the battery ? Changing the battery difficult?
Minor changes regarding heat dispatching? Means the HOX+ is definitely running cooler than HOX.
And yes it would be really good to see battery stats!
Cheers!

Those minor changes are on the main board: alu on the top of the nvidia chip is cut so the chip is actually looking from the main board and nothing is between chip and copper foil for better heat dispatching. About changing the battery, ill upload the video how I did it .. maybe today if I will have time
hox+ battery is not easy to get right now ask at htc service centers if they would sell it to you

I hate to break your bubble but I just went from a One X, to a One X+ and I am very disappointed of battery life.
Of course it is possible that the One X+ battery to have better results on the One X

For now very good news, i wait for some test and start looking were to bay this battery.

Thanks for sharing your experience! The heating thing is the beating argument for me. Maybe we can make something like a guideline, that everyone can replace the battery safely if desired?

Shouldn't be that difficult. There are a lot of how-to's on opening the One X. Look for example in the threads about the WiFi problem. If you have it open, it can't be difficult anymore.

Opening the shell is actually the easy part. It gets complicated because battery has connector on the bottom part of motherboard so you have to detach whole motherboard from chasis and disconnect all the connectors on it to reach the battery connector. I will post a quick video tomorrow, maybe a how-to will follow one day but i wouldnt suggest that to anyone who has no experience .. you can damage your smartphone!

Seeing as i will put my htc one x to rest (broken screen and they want 283 euros... - so i might as well buy a nexus 4. It might not help me but it would be kind of you to make a video of yourself replacing the One X's battery. I'm sure it'll help my beloved HoX friends. Although i'm going to own the Nexus 4 sooner or later, i feel attached to the One X forum and this is still more or less the only part of xda i hang around. I guess i.. i ... i love you guys <3

[POLL] HTC One extended batteries: Yes or No

I have just come across this interesting Poll on facebook concerning the replacement of internal batteries on HTC One Series with extended batteries.
https://www.facebook.com/questions/10150675611462172/
Apparently Mugen is planning to produce extended batteries for internal battery phones as well and supply an intrusion manual for users on how to open the phone and replace the internal battery.
What do you think??
Vote the Poll here or on facebook and we can discuss the issues in a meanwhile!!
since the cover non-removable i don't think that i would do it...
Would a extended battery case that would latch on the 5 pins at the back be more feasible instead? Seems like a less intrusive method of extending battery life.
On facebook 55 voters voted with yes - open yourself!! and like 7 voters in total selected other options!!
I cannot wait to get the phone in my hands and test it, i am sure it will require stronger battery to use its full capacity without compromising, so would open up and exchange the battery for sure.

I reckon this would be the best way to go. As soon as you pull off that cover you can kiss your warranty goodbye.
Something like a PowerSkin would be a much better alternative for Mugen.
Battery life on this phone is fine for me. I see no need to change the battery.
Considering that Moto/VZ are going to be offering the option to put the MAXX battery in the RAZR I wouldn't be surprised if more companies start doing the same.
That said, one advantage of having a very difficult to remove internal battery is that people can't steal your phone and disable your ability to track it simply by pulling the battery. Not go give manufacturers/carriers credence to do so, but I'd certainly pay to have an extended battery put in under warranty, though I would think it's cheaper to simply put something slightly better in to begin with.
Considering that Moto Maxx
Was considering that phon to. The idea of a original 3300 battery is just to good to be true... hope the other companies will copy the idea =)
the juice is simply not enough for a phone with such a huge screen, i voted yes and i am surprised with the capacity of the battery of htc one x.
Nah
From what I've read, users (somehow) have been able to get really good battery life out of them despite the huge screen and mediocre battery. I'd try it out for a few weeks before you throw your money at something you probably won't need.
I'm gonna say no. I like slim phones
You have your phone for 1 week and your battery sucks? Its not that the battery is very poor, it's just the fact that a LI-ION battery takes up to 2 weeks to be fully calibrated. We talk here about a new phone, with a battery that didn't run before now.
So give this little guy a break and try it for 2-3 weeks before saying that the battery life is horrible. If it lasts 1 day and some hours it is a good battery life for a smartphone with this huge display!
does replacing void the warranty?

As someone educated me on this I'll pass on the favor. Li-ion batteries do not need a breaking in period like old tech rechargeables. It has a specific amount of charges it can take before it no longer holds max charge, but it holds that maximum charge from the first day.
With the right settings a good sense ROM will get pretty decent battery. But I do feel slightly limited by the 1500 battery. It would've been nice to have easy battery modding from the get go.
Thank god I am satisfied with my battery life, in V ONE as far as I know the battery is not removable, right?
You can remove it. You just have to take the whole phone apart to get at it.

[Q] Toke my HOX apart, need internal HI-CAPACITY battery

Hello All,
I toke my HTC One X apart to replace the internal battery with a higher capacity one, as i've tried all the methods listed here to enhance my battery life, but it failed to survive a 12 hours idling - it seems that HTC forgot that the user might use his phone through the day -
anyway, i'm looking for an "INTERNAL" and "HIGHER-CAPACITY" like 2100mAh, 2400mAh battery to replace my 1800 mAh one, any suggestions please?
I don't believe that there is a higher capacity internal battery for the HOX. From what I've read on here is that any higher capacity battery would require the a bigger case for it. Just by opening it up you have now voided your warranty, and any third party manufacturer would not make you void your warranty to increase battery capacity. Your only option is to buy the cases that utilize the pogo pins to increase your battery
thanks for your reply teky, actually i dont care about the warranty, but i believe i can find a higher capacity battery as the iPhone one, i've bought a 2300 mAh from ebay for my old iphone and it was at the same size as its original one, the performance was amazing, it lasted about 2 days with a heavy usage.

likeliness is, if it wasn't physically bigger, then the mah was no more than the original. probably the fact that the first battery was knackered and just buying a new one seemed like it was lasting longer, when in fact it wasn't lasting any longer than a new original battery..
btw, the battery in the 1x is soft...gg, how were u planning on replacing it.
sent from my Viper Bitten One X
i need too an hi-capacity battery, but...is simply to remove the internal battery?
Be careful... A design flaw in the custom battery may cause it to explode.
Every battery I've read about online that promised higher capacity for the same size proved to be a fraud. The best story I saw was posted on the xda-dev forums. The user cut off the outer packaging of the battery to reveal the original battery inside, and printed on this was the real (much lower) capacity.
I don't know much about battery tech :silly:, as I'm about to prove but ... I believe it's basically a chemical reaction that releases power (and the reaction is revered when charging). The capacity of the battery is related to the volume of material available for the reaction, so basically physics is against us on this one.
If it seems too good to be true, it is. If technology were available to produce safe, cheap batteries, of the same size with a higher capacity, why doesn't a single large reputable manufacturer produce what would obviously be a lucrative accessory?
Are we not missing the point that his phone can't do 12 hours idling? My wife's currently very under used one x has managed 7 days and 10 hours from a single charge with 3g on almost zero screen on so true idle.
My used one x can easily make 2days of what I class as moderate use.
There must be some software issue or as Vodafone in Perth did a misconfigured network stopping 3g from going idle and sucking the battery dry.
Cheers
Steve
you can use the battery of the hox+ and get an extra 300mAh ...
but am going to take the batt of my spare one x and see if the battery of the htc butterfly s would fit... you get like an extra 1200mAh
hope it does....

Dont get the one x then. If you really want the SD slot and removable battery get the sgs3.

This should have been clearly in the Q&A section.
Nevertheless, if there is an working OTG (not sure how that developments stands about that, search...) you could connect to it an USB key lets say.
And battery, well if you need to change, you can also buy an external battery and recharge from that, or a battery case. Both solutions are as the extra battery exchange I would say.
You already answered your question. Don't buy it then.
Lol your question is the answer. Don't even consider getting a One X. Otherwise you'll be complaining and creating a new thread just for that.

Too bad but it's the best looking among the five quadcore smartphone in the market (my personal opinion).
Yes it is!
But like other people said here if you consider about SD card and battery, then don't buy it.
i am planning to buy the HOX next week. my concern is the hardware wifi issue. i cant replace it so thats y its a big problem. and i dont care about the storage as 32GB is more than enough. i still have 12GB left for nothing in my N900.
and battery: i just want my device to last 13hrs with moderate use. by moderate use i mean- 1.5hrs of gaming.(mostly stick cricket and temple run etc., 3hrs of music playback, 1hr of web browsing, few minutes call and sms). so to all one x users i want to make sure whether HOX is able to handle it with one charge cycle. please help me to evaluate as it will be my primary device..
which one should be wise enough to buy.. white or grey? i love both

The number of phones with the Wi-Fi h/w issue are in the single digit percentages. You have a one out of ten chance your phone might have the issue. If you don't like those odds, don't buy the phone. When you say "yellow tint" it could mean two things. The One X display is sourced from two different manufacturers. Acer is a "cool" display and the Sharp "warm." If you look at the device you intend to buy in the store you can decide if the display's suitable. If you’re ordering it online you probably have a 50/50 chance of getting a “warm” display. The One X glass panel is laminated to the display. In some phones parts of it can become de-laminated and show up as yellow spots. I'd guess you'd have the some odds of getting a phone with this defect as you would with the Wi-Fi defect. The One X gets better battery life than the GN based on GSMArena's testing in everything but watching video where AMOLED does better on darker colors. On the GN though you can replace the battery or buy an extended battery. I don't know what your "normal use" is but if it involves a lot screen-on time you won't make 13 hours with the One X.

Different stores have different policies about unsealing phones before you actually purchase them. If the store lets you open it you'll be able to tell right away if there are display issues. Type "about:blank" in the browser and you'll get an all white page that'll show you whether the screen is warm or cool or has any obvious defects. I haven't heard any reports of faulty batteries so I don't know where that one came from. When I first got my phone (in April) the battery life was horrifying. After about a week of charge cycles it improved dramatically. What you have running in the background app wise, the strength of your cellular signal, and how many syncs you have set up will all make a huge difference in battery life. There’s a major update due soon that takes the phone to 4.0.4 and people using the leak have reported both better performance and battery life.

[Q] Crap Battery Life

Hi there, i was considering replacing the battery on my HOX as the battery dies too quick.
If i do simple things like surf the web or check facebook for 2 minutes the battery drains about 3-5%
My uncle has had the phone on contract for 2 years and it finished so he gave me the phone as he got an upgrade and i was thinking of replacing the battery as it may not be able to hold a charge for long.
There are also 2 options i was going for;
HOX+ Battery
HOX Battery
I am wanting to know if it is worth it and which one to get?
I found the Hox Plus Battery on ebay for £20 as mine was driving me nuts and the shop along the rd installed it for £5 but i havent used it in anger yet but i'm hopefull of a little more use out of the phone. There are guides on the net for doing it yourself right enough.

Get the HOX+ battery if you're going to replace it, but don't expect a huge increase in battery life. There will be a marginal difference (which may be quite noticeable if the current battery is 2 years old) but overall the HOX just has poor battery life in general. It's one of the cons of the phone that really can't be overcome, even by reducing screen brightness, turning off wifi, etc. If battery life is important to you, it may be worth getting the HTC One if possible (or the M8 if you can afford it). Alternatively phones like the LG G2 are cheaper but superior to the HOX and have a much better battery life.
Does your HOX die after 1-2 hours of playing something like candy crush?

HTC 10 - Replacement Battery - Have you done it?

Does anyone have any direct experience (not hearsay) or a link to anyone who has actually done actual testing on any replacement batteries.
Ideally, something like what Richard Lloyd has done on youtube to test 18650 batteries.
*** As we can use the google machine, please refrain from links saying "this battery sucks" or "this is the best ever!". Reviews on amazon, ebay, aliexpress and others can be bought for pennies.
It would be great to see someone doing math and using electrical measurements, not what an app reports. ***
----------------------------------
So, two-ish years later and my unlocked HTC 10's battery is starting to go.
I'm using the latest build of Leedroid's rom and no, it is not the rom.
I have replaced batteries in the past and feel like I should give it a shot even though HTC made it a b*tch to change.
Why I'm asking: I changed the battery on a past phone and it worked pretty well for 6-ish months. Then, it exploded and cracked the lcd and g glass screen.
So, trying to avoid that.
-----------------------------------------------
Facts (as I understand them):
We cannot get a real / genuine HTC 10 battery.
HTC does not sell them.
Anything labeled as such is most likely a Chinese fraud or an actual HTC 10 battery that failed their internal inspection process.

Does anyone have any experience with the replacement batteries that are for sale on Aliexpress?

Ciszean 3000mAh
LOSONCOER 4300mAh
XINBONG 4000mAh
Dxqioo 3000mah
etc....
What buyer did you get your best / working battery from? Details please!
Has anyone ever gotten a reading of more than 3000mah that lasts?
I've read on oneplus forums that many replacement batteries often only provide ~80% of the real battery when new and fully charged (mAh).
Many have concluded that batteries that fail their inspection process are not properly recycled and are being re-branded and sold under new names / stickers.
Comments welcome, hopefully my caveats at the beginning didn't scare off everyone.
Thanks in advance!
Mine is also 18 months old and looking for some alternatives . Hope somebody gonna help us.
I've done mine got it from repairbase.co.uk but haven't done any tests on it other than what an app called acubattery which estimates it's capacity as 2868. I've never fully charged it got it set to only go to 75% in the hope that it'll last longer than the original.
Ref the actual swap it wasn't that bad,
I heated the screen on a microwaved wheat bag
used some suction cup pliers to lift the screen
Cut the glue with a guitar pick
Made a simple diagram on a bit of cardboard to stick the screws in.
I took all the tape off completely stored on a bit of greaseproof paper and was really careful with the screen ribbon.
I replaced my own battery.
I replaced my own battery. I bought it off of ebay from a seller in the US. My phone used to have random boot loops now that no longer happens.
It was difficult. Heating the display and pulling off is a problem. I actually broke my display and severed my ribbon cable for the sim. I replaced those parts and battery change was successful. Now the only issue is the adhesive is not sticking that great. Nothing that affects anything. I just see how the screen slightly gives just a little bit. I do not recommend the double stick tape. Get the special glue!!! Something with a 7000 in the name.
I will be reheating a gluing it in the future. I dread working on this phone. Although I am not a professional I think I did a pretty good job. Other phones are much easier to repair.
I DID NOT notice a super improvement in battery life. My new battery was now back to "Ok" battery life instead of terrible no more bootloops at 20% or when camera is open. There is a problem with the HTC 10 with the cpu using to much, along with wakelocks and wifi. I really wish HTC would address these issues.
I installed LEEDROID have not switched kernal yet. I have getting over 4hours and 30 minutes of on screen time. If I change the kernel and throttle the cpu I may be able to get a little more. The goal is 5 hours.
I am NOT an EXPERT. I am a smart individual through trial and error that can figure many things out. I like to get the most out of my technology I'm not ready to get a new phone. My phone is primarily used for Audiobooks, Youtube, web browsing, texting.
i wanted to replace my battery... but after watching this video i've lost all my motivation ^^
as soon as my battery starts to crash at low percentage i'll take another look at it ^^
Anything labeled as such is most likely a Chinese fraud or an actual HTC 10 battery that failed their internal inspection process.

Oh.... and i always tought these batteries are from the same manufacturer as the original one but somehow stolen/bought directly at the manufacturing site and sold by private persons.
It is really hard to distinguish a real battery from a fake...
But to know if your battery is full/new or not the only way is an external discharge test.
I've tought about buying one of these https://www.ebay.ch/itm/ZB2L3-Batte...560532?hash=item25e6002a94:g:ag4AAOSwmnFZ4hxs
But it says 3A ... which is a bit much for this poor phone battery.
Having a functioning temperature sensor is critical to the stability and safety of the battery. If you've replaced your battery, use an app like Accubattery to verify the following: an existing thermistor will read a fluctuation in temps anywhere from 20-50C based on usage and ambient heat. Most (all?) of the batteries sold online have only a resistor which will send various inaccurate readings to the phone, typically 25C while charging, and a jump to 35-38C while unplugged (if the plugging/unplugging makes no sudden difference, try putting your phone in the freezer, or going between idle and heavy use to test).
If your replacement battery has an accurate temp sensor, please add to the discussion by telling us where you purchased it.
i bought HSABAT 4300mAh from aliexpress,i replaced the battery .will share with you guys here the results
Shame it's so much effort to change battery my wifes phone always turns off at around 21% now and she doesn't like any of the newer phones most are too big this htc 10 was the max she would go to.
My guess is that a lot of people are going to try in the coming 2-6 months as their battery starts to weaken.
Phone is great. Processor is fast enough and camera is great.
My hope is that we can gather real info and start to get good intel on these battery brands (?).
I don't think changing the battery is particularly easy, but it can be done. (See YouTube)
That being said, I don't want to have to do it more than once.
I hope more people chime in, because I guess many have already and many more will be doing it.

yo dawg, any news? i'm very eager to read it.
peace
Hey @alicine. I'm really curious about the battery and want to buy it. I have some questions and would really appreciate if you could answer them.
1) Has it exploded yet?
2) Is it the advertised 4300 mAh capasity?
3) How did you make it fit inside the shell? Is it the same dimensions as the 3000 mAh ones?
4) How long does it take to charge & does it still support fast charging?
5) How many hours of SoT are you getting now? (which ROM you're in that would help too)
Thanks in advance.
Tips from experience on M7
One thing about lithion batteries . . . they lose a bit of capacity just sitting on the shelf as matter of simple, natural deterioration. So to a certain extent, the newer the better.
When I replaced the battery on my HTC One M7 it was a similar challenge. My approach to buying a battery was to look closely at the photos and see what the date was on the battery for sale as it should be printed on it. (Some of the sellers don't even know that.) I tried to get the most plausibly recently made battery, within reason. By that I mean, I was concerned that for an older phone there might not be any batteries recently manufactured for it, so a very recently dated battery might be fraudulently remarked/re-dated. If I wasn't sure I queried the seller to find out if they knew what the battery's date was.
I'm not sure my theory is correct about which date battery to shoot for, but I'm still going with that line of thinking
Hi, what about the battery performance with daily use?
@numpaque
I'm not sure what the question is there - batteries lose charge as you use them, then need recharging.
What do you want to know again ?

1-No its not exploded yet, its working very well
2-I guess no , because im having same SoT as i get it when i first buy the phone
3-I removed the screen first,then one by one other compenents.Dimensions are the same
4-Its takin 50-60 mins to charge from %5 to full
6-Stock rom 4-4.5 hours depend on the use
I sent my HTC-10 in for battery replacement through the official service in Germany. This was approx. 6 weeks before my warranty ran out.
Battery performance was really bad with SOT of around 2 hrs, and random shut downs at 20-40% battery capacity.
After 2-3 weeks it came back, and according the delivery paper the battery has been replaced.
But regrettably no improvement could be notified.
So I sent it back again and got it back within approx. 1 week. This time they had replaced the side keys on the Phone, but even this time I could not find any improvement of the battery performance.
So I claimed it a third time, and sent it to the official service again. But now my 24 months warranty was gone….However they still accepted this as a Warranty claim and when I got my phone back after approx. 2-3 weeks it had a new battery, and a new screen.
Since then, the battery performance is good and my phone works more or less like a new one.
I get SOT between 4-5 hrs and no more shut downs and boot loops using stock Oreo.
