It also depends on your usage man, and that seems to be pretty heavy... You could try disabling push notifications in some apps

Actually, this is my second brand new HOX, replaced in place of my old faulty HOX. I feel that my old one's battery management is a bit better than my present HOX. so little worried..

Uninstall both. They don't help. Adjust you brightness manually. Use wifi instead of 3g.

Juice Defender. Try it, my 1x lasts on battery for two days instead of one. I use Ultimate, but for a start you should try Basic and free version.
1x, xda premium hd

Is your phone unlocked and rooted? If so use a custom kernel. I get 4.5 hours of screen on time even with an AOSP Rom.

No, not rooted. If it is done, then warranty won't be applicable?

Only if the software caused hardware damage and the seller has to prove it. Had to send in my phone a few times and never had any problems

Also depends on how the law is applied in your own respective countries. Like in my country, hardly anyone customers or suppliers know anything about any law regarding warranty. Most just follow a black and white FAQ to solve **** -_-

Hi there. Are you sure you are using the latest firmware? Might be worth checking in the "about" area of settings.
Might seem like a lot of effort to go to, but if it is causing you so much trouble I would recommend a complete factory reset and then not installing any third party apps for a couple of days to rule that out.
Can be a nightmare to track the cause though - good luck!

Install better battery stats and see if anything is keeping your phone awake under partial wakelocks. Sometimes apps can keep your phone awake even if you think it's asleep.
To be honest I sync Facebook, Google Now, Weather, and such and my battery is fine. It can last me a working day with normal usage.
It's a smartphone at the end of day having sync off for me would be pointless in having a smart phone.
As a caution you can always buy a portable charger if battery is such a major issue.

Battery life

I just bought htc one x on version 1.28 indian.. My battery life is jist horrible... It doent even last fr my 9 working hrs... Plz help how to increase battery backup.. I m ready to do nything i.e. Install custom roms if required... Even if voods my warranty... Plz help

Check over in the 1.29 thread. There are reports that battery life has improved.
had the very same problems with my previous white HOX. It didnt last me half a day of moderate use, the battery life was horrible. Just listening to radio with the screen turned off and juice defender on, it drained 30% battery in 15 minutes. I returned it yesterday and got myself a new grey HOX. Hopefully this one will work properly. If you experience quite extreme battery problems you really should return it and get a new one like I did because most likely its a faulty device. It is supposed to last longer than that unless you play tegra 3 games all the time.
Did u return in to htc servuce centre??? Ie did u take a doa frm htc service centre??

Can you just post your battery stats? On my first 3 days, I had the same problem, I even felt that my phone can't even sustain my 4hours of journey on the day. But now it's standby consumption is awesome, may be several charging cycles helped the battery to settle.
We India's has to struggle with waiting to get the latest updates. So, better you unlock the device. But before that, it was too crazy in battery drain, check with HTC service center and confirm the issue. If it was really a h/w issue return the device.

1.2.9 doesn't improve battery life. Today got 9 hours before battery died, auto brightness screen on time was 3 hours 35 mins, push Gmail, push exchange, some calls, played some games. On wifi all day.
Average battery life nothing spectacular.

Overheating Problem

Hello everyone,
I had a HOX one month ago and everything was ok, no defects at all, the only issue I had is that my device was getting too hot,
it was so annoting, it gets hot over simple tasks, like using facebook app, or whatsapp, so is there any solution for this issue??
I've had mine for more than an month now and it has never been even slightly warm, even while charging...
Might be something wrong with your phone?

Can you please give more info. Like custom rom or stock.
Rooted/"unrooted"
Which rom
Which kernel
Anything else that might be useful. Anyway I had a similar problem, so might be able to help, but remember the more info the better. Its pretty hard to say by just reading the OP.

It's normal that these phones get hot.
They have a lot of power
It's the same with cars. The bigger the engine the more heat gets produced.

Then the best advice I can give you is to lower screen brightness, and have a look at the power option in settings and see what is the power hog.

Kernel is most responsible for the heat. I suggest to change that first. You might want to go for any ROM with base 2.05.x and the stock kernel for that. Those roms include Arhd(7.2), Viper and Maximus by football
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Install faux kernel, and undervolt your CPU.
The problem remain but very very lower.
Your battery will last longer.

what is the best rom for the hox?
different people prefer different roms... i think roms like arhd, cm9 and etc are like comparing a lambo and a ferrari.. most roms are pretty good compared with stock... its more of what u need it for... if u take the lambo maybe it has greater top speeds but suck at cornering and vice versa... hehe... anyway my advice is as long as it is not stock you will definitely feel the difference...

Battery life really

Hi I'm new to the x. How long are peoples phones lasting I got to charge least twice a day..bit of a joke lol
Any tips for the x
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I have my X for 2 months now and on a stock rom i was charging it once per day,sometimes once per 2 days (that depended on how much i was ''playing'' with it).But when i was charging it I've tried to charge it for at least 8-9 hours.I always left it to charge through night and i had a phone for a whole day long. When you bought your X did you charge it for about 12 hours 2-3 times ? They told me at the shop where i bought it that i should do it-otherwise it wouldn't last for half of a day...Maybe that's the thing you didn't do ? Cheers
Don't know mate I traded my nexus for the x. Wouldn't know that kind of thing. I do charge her fully though. I know my nexus only needed one. Im running the x on 2 cores. WiFi not on when locked etc. Turned auto sync off. I dimmed the brightness a bit but like the one x screen so dont want to lower it to much. Might have to start turning it off of something when I don't need it
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
You aren't just playing with it a bit to much, since you got it recently? Otherwise, try installing ARHD Rom and Faux or Franco kernel.

rom
maybe ARHD can help
after installing this , it really increase the battery life
Not overly playing be honest.the shell and hardwares different but ROMs dont vary to much. I'll try arhd again maybe.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Try with a custom kernel also!

Try ARHD. I have it myself and the battery lives longer on my X than before
I always get about one day out of it (with tbalden's CM10 rom).
Try to run BetterBatteryStats to get a grip on what is consuming power! (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats)

On ARHD rom 7.22 with stock kernel, i can get about 4h screen on time with about 24-36 stanby time surfing, reading, twitter/fb and some navigation. Screen brightness is incredibly important, values are for brightness 20-30%.

battery sucks
ARHD rom 8.00 with stock kernel and Sense 4.1 looks like that there is better battery life.
I might try arhd.
On the off chance it would work I used a battery calibrator app (yes it doesn't always work)
It has made a difference though. I also discovered that even though the green led came on and the battery icon showed full it was actually only 91% charged. Thanks to the app I even noticed..

Yup, that's default for most ROMs. 90-100% battery results in a green light

Have HOX for one day, at first charge 26h on battery, 15% left and still running with wifi on, recent calls, sms, internet, camera. Played dead trigger about 15mins. Played with phone, set interface and all settings for personal usage, wached couple of youtube videos, played couple of songs via speaker, run 4 benchmarks (antutu ate 2%, quadrant 0%), surfed net, downloaded apps and so on..
Why the hell are u whining about the battery life. With that kind of a screen battery is great. Still did not pushed core fire to system/app. With little of optimization battery would last 2 days with medium usage. I mean what do you want?
Best experience for now, no complains at all. Had Galaxy S3, and it sucks compare to this. Looks ugly, feels ugly, Touchwiz feels ugly, why the f.uck u need SD if u have 32gb of free space + cloud .. i mean come on .. its a phone (if it had 128gb of memory and no SD slot there would be the same issue). Removable battery, i bet 1% of people have 2 or more batteries and those who need such a thing, are not buying phone quad core with 5" screen. What else? Screen got scratches, i dropped and it crashed .... Really?
There are bugs for some % of products, thats why there are warranty for god sake. On my personal experience i know only one perfect phone with absolutely no complains - Nokia 3310.
My advise, HOX! Go for it and do not listen for 95% of bull**** posted on the internet.
Its not whining its a statement mate.its fine now. There's no issue with finding out how people resolve it etc. I like my x. You never had a phone you were unsure of at first?
And yep the 3310 was bad ass I had three of them. No complaints either with that phone. Least we didnt spend so much time messing about it.

Havnt had the One X for that long but Iv realized that having a No-Sense Rom installed you can increase the battery life. I went from 2 times a day to just once a day. Of course Screen Brightness does play an important role as well.

[Q] SentinelRom poor battery.

So I recently installed this Rom, immediately after I saw that it boasted about having the ability to add an amazing battery life.
Now I've seen a couple of threads, and videos of guys proving this. So I was quite excited that I will be able to have a great battery life, more use of my phone, rather than just 6-8 hours.
However, after installing it last night, and charging it, I noticed today, that I only had the phone on for 6 hours, and already it was down to 11%.
I didn't even use my phone that much. It may have downloaded one or two apps, but that's it. So, I've reinstalled the ROM, to see if this will fix it.
Anyone one else used this ROM with the HTC One X and experienced the same thing?
Also new to the forum, and using roms, so be gentle :silly:

No. Just charge it like normal. These batteries like partial charges not full charges.

I recall it stating that it needs two days to properly monitor your usage before it actually kicks in and does its thing.
