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.

Every ics custom rom is compatible
But when i looked at the roms, it's all under jelly bean. How do i know which rom is ics?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Go to development subforum, there's a thread which lists all the guides, mods, kernels and roms. All ics roms can be flashed on any cid.

Oh and go install betterbatterystats. Get it, use your phone normally, and check under process and partial wakelock if you have a rogue app causing wakelocks.
Ok thank you. I will look it up. I really need a better battery life rom or kernel.

The best i have found is ViperX rom with FAUX'S o11 kernel
Thanks Paul. Really needed a good recommendations from users out there. Been having bad days with my new HOX and the battery life like that....
Paul, to add on, does viperx includes the beatsaudio thing? And with faux kernel, how is your battery life?

Hey guys, I tried ViperX 2.7.1 with Faux 011 kernel, and found that no apps are intefering with my partial wakelock and process. But still, after a screen on, it's just a matter of 2-3mins that my battery will drop 2-3%. Anyone knows why is that so? And what can roughly cause the problem.

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.

I have tested this stock v custom and the custom was roughly 18% improvement to the stock rom and kernel. Got to admit when you first get them you can not put them down so the screen and other apps are being used more than you may think LOL :laugh:

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.

Try flashing it back to stock, leave it that way for a week and let it stabilize.

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.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
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.

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.
Sent from my HTC One X
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.

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.

There is just way too many variables to answer that question. Just keep trying roms one after another. Also expect this thread to locked down soon!
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
Why would this be locked? He's asking for what ROM has good battery life, not which one is best or other flameworthy question.
Anyway, I think the Kernel has as much if not more importance with battery life. I use official AOKP JB Milestone (4.1, not 4.2) with LeanKernel and I get AMAZING battery life. I noticed that LeanKernel was the factor that did this for me, so you might want to give it a shot. I don't think LeanKernel works with 4.2 yet though.
The best way is to try them yourself. Everyone uses their device differently so performance and results vary across devices. Also ignore what the guy said, this was a good question.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
For me, best battery to date has been tasks aokp with ktoonsez kernel.
Their 4.2 rom is really nice but still in the early stages so I expect the battery life to get better but their 4.1 rom was outstanding with battery.

8 hours screen time with data always on? On stock battery? That's a tall order. Good luck with that.

battery life depends on too many things. my daily driver is awesome but if battery life was my main concern I'd never enjoy a ROM as much
8 hours screen time doesn't seem possible in my experience on stock battery. On Carbon ROM with LeanKernel I get a good 3-4 hours screen time when I'm gone for 14-16 hours from a charger.

Your battery life is over, throw it away and go buy a new one It isn't cost much.
simple battery test:
1) Remove battery from phone
2) Place battery in a flat surface
3) Spin the battery:
a) if the battery spun more than 360 degrees - time to replace the battery
b) if not - try replacing your ROM and fiddle with power settings

Lol !! What does anything physical have to do with the charge holding capacity of the battery ? Except for the bulge, nothing physical should affect it normally. It is just that android misguides us in certain situations like, it shows battery 100% on charging for only 5 minutes. What you can do is, charge your phone blindly for 3 hours when you are running low on it. And test your battery, it should work. Don't wipe battery stats , etc., it doesn't help. Battery calibration is all but fake. Instead you can try a fresh flash after a full wipe to have a better battery life. Hope this helps everyone.

well, I'm really sorry for reply even when there's an advice of improper threat, but I tried all these methods and in my case nothing really gave me a good battery life, I changed my Rom, I'm actually on stock lite, I have a new battery, I'm also did the full wipe and clean flash thing, and calibration, nothing really nothing makes my battery life goes more than 4 hrs. so... I don't know what else to do, someone told me to buy a new phone lol xD
Re: galaxy ace phone battery charges and drains very fast any solution???????
For better battery life, the basics work good. WiFi, Bluetooth, data, GPS, auto sync, background data,3G, etc should be off and brightness should be low. Do one thing. Let your phone to the service center for a couple of days. They'll test and confirm you any other faults inn case. But don't forget to flash stock via Odin before giving it to them.

For me the same thing happened. My battery was FAT! and would spin.try brix99's method. Buy a new battery solved my problem.
BTW I am not a noob. I tried all kinds of calibration. It just made my battery more swollen. I flashed stock, charged it 2 and half hours after it said full charged. Then even tried overnight charge-full use to 0% and fu8ll charge again .. No results.. I bought a new battery and changed ROMs and I can see the difference.

You probably have a rogue app draining battery. Have you checked the usual battery drainers? What does your battery stats say? Which app is draining the most battery?
RENOVATE is known for great battery life, so your battery drain shouldn't be because of the ROM.
Check enclosed image.
Nothing special, though my battery drains, just the same compared to arhd15 and even when on stock.. Well.. I think the drain is less than stock, but still not worse than other People say about renovatie.

Is I cleared battery stats and performed more than 3 charge cycles, in case you ask. Thank you, hope you can help me

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

I'm going to try SlimBean and try to check if any app is causing the battery drain, thanks for the screenshot

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

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
