Disappointed with One X

I received my One X yesterday and noticed some pretty big issues:
- The Battery on the phone is shocking, I agree that once you get a phone, you play on it more than usual, but after just 4 hours, my battery was at critical level
- The Lag is shocking for a quad-core phone - especially on apps. For example, when I downloaded Fatbooth on my One X and Desire, the desire was so smooth, moving the markers, scrolling the pictures, but one the One X there was an unbearable amount of lag Why is this? Something to do with the companion core?
Anyway, I was wondering if flashing a new ROM will siginificantly fix these issues, what ROM's out there can do that?
Many Thanks

1. It'll get better once you get to normal working use
2. Apps aren't written to properly utilise the quad core yet - they'll get better once the Devs pull their fingers out

Running any custom rom will fix your issues did for me I'm running tbalden - CM10 couldn't be happier. Try Viper 1.0.1 for a sense ROM or cm10 senseless. Both give awesome battery life I get 4hrs + screen time with total at least 15hrs.

Any ROM can help you, but if you dont want to root your HOX and you would like to stay on the stock ROM, download "Hidden settings" from google play, and in the newly created "Power saver settings" app, disable the the second option, which says "Reduce CPU speed", because if its turned on it means you'll have only 1 of the 4 cores working, and even that 1 core works on 1000mhz only. Oh you should use this "Hidden settings" stuff even if you move to other Sense-based ROM, because usually they will have these stock settings...I hope you understanded my post, my english isnt the best

Thank you very much! I shall try that

Well Venom Rom increase battery life but it will still not be great but no lag and so many things u can do and choice on viper Rom venom its a great rom. The battery is just very horrible and not being able to swap it, is already criminal. There should be no phone that doesn't allow a swap of a battery.

Looks like you're not using any Internet, though...which will lead to better life. I have WiFi/3G on at all times and get 20hrs with an hour or so screen time

After a few calls with virgin mobile mi e is going back and there doing me a straight swap for the s3 because for some reason i cant use mobile data when on a call.... Tbh starting to not like the device anyway lol

hey m8 and do u think that this is normal battery life? i mean one hour of screentime? I do get about the same times with as u with likely having 3g on all the time, depends also on how heavy i use it, sometime i get 2 hours screentime too but thats really absolut maximum. I dont know whats wrong but i also get such terrible batterylife and i am really thinking to swap this ****y phone for an s3. i see others getting as said 4 hrs of screentime that lets me think there some peeople are having hardware issues with the battery or better said faulty batteries. What do u think?
I mean i paid about 500€ for this and i get a laggy and short-battery-life phone that ist performance wise worse then my old sensation or desire?? Also said this is already my second HOX as the first wont had to be replace due to heavy screen flickering, and now my second is having absolut terrible battery life. I am not anything then pleased anymore and i think i understand why htc is getting more and more into financial problems. My next phone will guaranted NOT be an HTC anymore -.-

with screen on and doing nothing the phone will probably use the 5th core to save energy, try to play a game , 1:20 hour of gaming and 2 hrs of screen on and you will finish your battery.
however i consider this a good battery life, with hd2, much slower and with smaller/less brighter screen i got probably less battery life

I view Facebook all the time, I watch videos on YouTube, I even watch series on the internet. And I have my WiFi on most of the time. The battery life is really great for me, the ROM that I'm using has a surprisingly good battery life.

It was noticeably better (I used to have it), with this phone I have to actually monitor my battery and worry about playing games etc, whereas on the S3, sometimes It would last me nearly 2 days!

I always have data on usually 3G and max I get is about 2 hours screen on time with around 13-14 hours before it dies.
Whether that's good or bad I don't know compared to others but you have to remember everyone's usage is different signal also plays a part on drain.
I have mine on auto brightness and exchange syncing, Gmail syncing, weather syncing and Facebook syncing.

Save Your battery

Well folks, I took time to study our G2 battery to really see what is killing it. After testing it on different roms i have come out with something that can save your battery for a while before you think of replacing it.
On a general scope these are the main factors that really drain your battery:
1.3G data connection
2.Screen brightness
3.Rom type(mostly sense roms)
On 3g, if the user has a wireless network nearby i suggest you connect to that for your browsing and all that, there is no need using hspa when you have a WI-fi network working great, 3g networks drains the battery faster than you think i tried it and i saw that the WI-fi use was very slow in draining the battery up to the point i switch to 3g. IF your thing is voice calls i still don't see how good and different 3g is from 2g "it's not like you are recording an album over the phone to need such voice clarity" remember a good battery life affects your phones performance in a great way. these photos tell the whole story..

i used the wi-fi for about 12 hours and when i switched to 3g it drained in 2 hours
For screen brightness you will notice that every time you check battery usage your screen always has the biggest share of the consumption. You have to reduce your screen brightness to 30% or lower or put it on auto-brightness that's about all you can do about it.
Also your rom and the kernel it comes with are a huge factor in battery consumption. On a general scale i have noticed that sense roms are the big killers of all just see
in 51 mins of no use at all just screen off the battery drops to 81% i have never had above 9 hours of use with any sense rom
Other things like gps also drain your battery, so if you are not on "MAPS" just switch it off to save your battery. Also keeping your cpu clock speed at high points drain the battery a lot try to use apps like setcpu to control the clock speed and set profile like screen off to keep your cpu down when you are not using it, and use cpu governors like smatass, ondemand, conservative etc
Also the trick of draining your battery completely and then recharging it in intervals of 3 months or more help enhance battery life,
do not leave lots of apps running in the back ground they also drain you battery alot :good:
Any body who knows something that can help pls add cos there are a lot of guys who still don't know these stuff....
and a lot of guys like me who still want to enjoy their G2 for a looooong time....so big boys...yes it's needed......

photos missing.......................................................................................................

About the sense roms, even though i agree it consumes more battery than AOSP, they are not as bad as u say (at least not all of them). I use a sense 3.5 rom and with regular use i get about a day and a half before it hits 20% (80% consumed) (This is on 2g, with wifi on... when with data on, i still get at least 22 hours). I know it comes down to settings and usage, but just saying, its possible to get a lot of battery endurance with sense.
If anyone is interested in more detalied information on my settings and usage, feel free to ask me (through pm if possible)
Nice review though, thanks for sharing!

This is impossible if you havent got a problem with the rom. I have been using all kinds of roms with my Desire Z. The battery life is not that much different on sense and aosp roms.
I am using GenY Beta5 right now for example. On standby mode (only gps is disabled) it can go more than 2 days! A stock optimized 2.1 Sense rom can go even more than that.
For battery life problems I suggest using an app like Better Battery Stats and see what is causing your phone to stay awake. It is easy to see what eats your battery.
Other than that as you said, whatever rom you use Screen will eat your battery the most. Overclocking will obviously eat more battery too. Using 3G instead of 2G will use more battery. COnstant Wi-fi activity and gps are battery killers too as you may guess.
The rest is how the user uses his/her phone.

All you are saying are basic stuff everyone knows about power consumption, and all that you have been testing are YOUR results, what you are saying now are absolutely no facts, and some are wrong. You're saying sense takes more juice? Well since IceCreamSandwich it doesn't really matter. Are you sure your battery is properly calibrated?
After installing a rom you shouldn't put the phone on a charger, but just use/leave it till the battery has 10% left. then charge till its full. By prefer you should do it another time and then it should be calibrated.
Also you forgot to add the radio. The radio is also important, if you got a proper radio for your provider/rom, you can easily get more power out of your phone. If you have the wrong one, drains can be high. The extremest example I can take is my old HD2. Which had a radio not compatible with the version of android and the battery drained from 100 - 10 in 3 hours.
Now look at my stats of my DesireZ, running Gen.Y RC1(Which seems to be using more battery then the B5). I attached a screenshot. The battery is totally stock and not an extended one. I used it yesterday at home when I was busy with my car(whatsapp, mail, google), at the evening I played some games. Before I went to bed my battery stats was 60%, when I got out of bed this morning it was 59%.
Also I think the topic should be in "general" since its talking about everything, and I can't see how this is rom development.

Thanks for adding up guys,but I am sure your batteries are quite fresh that's why you have very good batteries,people like me with aging ones who still want to use it for a while. I had to wipe my battery stats a few times to calibrate it. And if your read things very well this was meant for guys who really don't know the does and donts about battery usage yes it's basic but people still ask these questions in dev sections. I did not add radio because that thing does not work well for everyone and it's still an easy way to brick your phone most of these radios were made with USA service providers in mind ,people have complained about having serious issues with battery and connectivity when they Change their radio and if any one is even reading this then I don't think that person even knows what the radio is so why not do the basics than brick your phone in an attempt to go high .....to the big boys who know all.... you have to know that there are still guys out there without rooted phones facing these problems so radio is the last option......

If their phone is not rooted, how can they have a custom rom then lol. I think if you want to use a custom rom on your phone you should read everything and not blindly start everything. Also flashing a radio has risks, but not really something to worry about if you do it right. Its quite easy and as long as you stay on the right path you are fine. If you want to make a proper thread about battery consumption you should include the radio thing. And also post it in a place where it belongs. You are right that newbies don't know everything, but if we should do everything for them, you get even more newbie questions. They need to put some effort in it like we do.

also you have not added the tricks like changing the advanced wifi to always wifi when screen off....

[GUIDE]Awesome battery life and guide on ViperX JB and other JB Sense roms...

Right ladies and gents...Not going to bore you with long ass intros and long guides i just want to show you that since i updated my hboot and started using Viper X i have been getting exceptional battery life.
This is with Stock Kernel guide​
Now you are asking how is that possible. Simple. First of all make sure you flash stock kernel which you can find here.
Once you flashed the rom and fully updated to the latest OTA leave everything on as it is. I have not messed with any of the syncing of apps or anything else. I just left everything as it is.
Now get yourself either System Tuner or FauxClock apps. They are both cpu apps and highly recommendable that i use. Or just use the Viper Cpu app in tweaks. Now set the following:
Governor: Ondemand
Scheduler : Noop
Cpu clock frequencies to: 1.2GHz as max and leave the min at 102MHz or even right at the lowest
You can not UV stock kernel so no point asking that question.
Now i use wifi on all the time when i am at home. But see here is the trick. When my screen is off i make sure that wifi is sleeping as well. How i do that..Simple.
Settings - Wifi - press Menu - advanced - keep wifi on during sleep and just tick only when plugged in.
Autosync is left on and all my emails are getting synced and i get instant emails when my wifi is on. I use AppyGeek and the widget gets updated with the latest stories all the time as i have that synced all the time.
I do not use Facebook but i do use Twitter and that is on all the time and i also listen to Spotify and Whatsapp is on as well to get instant messages whenever i am on wifi..
Now i do not know if this helps anyone but i just wanted to show what i did and i am managing great battery life on ViperX and this is based on first charge as well..Always make sure you let the rom and kernel to settle and always give a few charge cycles before judging the battery life..
Use this guide as well if you want for other JB roms and you will see that sticking for the moment with stock kernel and using what i have done will work for you like a treat...Call this if you want Rock Solid Config v1.0
Plus use this app. Highly recommend it and that way you can see what is eating your battery and what is keeping your phone awake when screen is off..More info go to the app thread.

Renovate battery results with stock kernel

Nice guide but your screen on seams to be low Imo, i get avarage 4-5hrs without underclocking, simply using power saver from time to time. today before i put my phone on charge i had 1hr 58mins screen on time wifi / sync and everything else on phone was 22hrs 44min active 1hr 26mins of phone call and brigntness 30% left me with 58% of battery. Didn't use powersaver at all, Underclocking sometimes can cause more battery drain then leaving it at 1500 . for example if you do some task that requires lets say 1300mhz with your settings on cpu phone will have to use 2 cores since you limited it onto 1200ghz 1 core and 4cores 1100, Anyway this is just my theory about this lol , don't take it seriously just sometimes my battery lasts longer without power saver or underclocking then leaving it as it is, it all depends on the task and stuff you do. Anyway thx for the guide im sure it will help to alot of ppl =)

IMHO, nothing out of extraordinary here.
I'm on stock and i have the same result, if not better. I manually turn Wifi off when screen is off which is the same as the setting that you applied (Wifi ON - only when plugged in).
People here are going crazy about battery life which is something trivial. Just forget about this and plug the phone when it's empty!

I like the Rom a lot, thank you for providing such an awesome Rom. What i'm not getting right is the battery life of some of the other users. The battery life of my phone seems to be a bit better then stock, but not a lot better. Screen times are between 2 hours and 3 hours and 3 hours seems to be the max with my usage of the phone. I did a lot to improve that battery life. Kernel (android os) seems to be the big battery absorber. I use my phone normally, lot of whatsapp and facebook and checking other news of social sites. Hardly playing any games or something, hardly using GPS and bluetooth. Is that a normal battery life for that usage?

So, questions about your fipo:
- When switching off wifi when screen is off, do you still get incomings whatsapp messages, facebook messages, e-mail etc?
- You're talking about a good battery life, what is good in your opinion?

Good battery life is to be able to go through a day without having to charge your phone a couple of times...Screen on if you can get anything over 3hrs is pretty good..Even 2.5hrs is pretty decent in my eyes.
when switching off wifi when screen is off no you will not get messages...once you turn the screen on though every single message will come through..
If you download deep sleep battery saver from the market you can adjust the time that the wifi goes off during the screen is off and you can have it so every hour say about five minutes you can get messages coming through if you feel that you want them

Gonna start testing battery life on Renovate now..Await results in the next few days.. Trying different governor this time round

Im using system tuner you recommended. I applied governor and cpu clock correctly I think. But Where do I find scheduler?

Already overclocked? Then forget it. More perfomance only with another phone.
You can always try to use a kernel that uses bfs but still there is no miracles

I really want a new phone but just cant afford at the moment btw thanks for the fast reply

i have the same problem. the stock rom was terrible about performance. you click to the contacts and wait for a few seconds for the black screen. then contacts come.. in case of emergency. .; for example you need to cal some1 for help, until you call they will kill you
i changed to cyanogenmod. it is better. still not so good but we shouldnt expect a high performance from a 3 years old device.

Yeah you are right we can't expect a high performance for a such old device but i got cyanogenmod 9 with custom kernel and few tweaks on it and now it runs pretty smooth i can play games like gta vice city asphalt 8 and even modern combat with some fps drops but it is still playable.

which cyanogenmod are you usig ? and about overclock thing . i am always worried to damage the device. you know if something get damaged because of overclocking.
what i want from this phone is ; long batyery life ( at least 1 day total from 07:00 to 23:00 ) (come this shouldnt be so hard )
plus a medium performance. i dont want it to stuck and force me to wait when i really need something to do. when this happen i exactly want to raise my phone and throw it to the wall .
i am not going to play so big games. or even little ones. i dont play games.. so just a little performance is important too. what do you offer me.

I own a W and I'm happy with the performance.... Don't forget that this device is a SINGLE CORE device. You ain't EVER going to get S4 performance out of it. If you remember, Samsung left the W behind at Gingerbread. Without the hard work of devs like Arco68 we would never have experienced ICS let alone JB.
KK Roms have just started to become really useable for the W, in theory they should favour phones like the W.....why not give one of them a try.....
Otherwise your options are....
1) put up with the performance while reminding yourself you *could* still be running stock GB.
2) develop a ROM to suit your performance needs yourself.
3) paint a nice big cross on a blank piece of wall and practice your aim.
But please stop complaining about lack of performance..... It shows a certain lack of respect for all the devs that have given their time to us so that we can run the latest android version on our W's.........

i know but as i said i dont expect high performances from this device just a long lasting battery and not stucking apps in the middle of my work.
guys offer me sth

I am using cyanogenmod 9 because it suits me very well. I installed few mods and tweaks on it. i like my phone to have the stock samsung UI so i installed touchwiz theme and launcher and now the phone looks good and performs good. Dont worry you want damage your phone with overclocking, just test a frequency and run stability test and let it pass few tests. I've overclocked many CPUs on computers so i think this is the same thing. And for the battery life, if i play games like gta vice city and san andreas i get 6-7 hrs but when i use phone for calls only it lasts more than 1 day. For me this device is very good since i can't afford a new one. I am also learning how to build roms so i might start making roms and practicing myself when i have free time (I dont have much )

You have to wait for that because i just got it off the charger. Do you want it idling on on gameplay?

currently using cm9 rc2 with honeyx's kernel
.
the battery is good in stand by.
in usage it is normal. not so bad but it feels me that it is draining a bit fast. i will post the graphic in the evening

what noo, wtf u installed on it !! now when u install stock rom for the first time, the rom works amazing faster, even faster than any CM rom , well im using the stock rom for almost a week, and its working amazing faster !!, What im using :
Fast Facebook
Gmail
Youtube
Mobo Market
System app uninstaller ( removed some stock apps )
....
I use my phone for calling , SMS, facebook, youtube and gmail for checking my mails
And im very happy with it, i dont think im geting back to Cyanogenmod
And what i would to see form GB its a transparent status bar

idk i dont like stock rom. samsung failed on that. at least i think so. plus, not giving an uptade to such a device is a very wrong decision by samsung. cyanogenmod is way better then stock rom. it has more features..

16 day battery life

Hi guys.
I am trying to find out what everything can be turned off keep basic phone functionality to reach battery life that this phone deserves with nearly 5000 mah battery.
Curently i downclocked gpu turned all cores except one core limited to 400 mhz (with free kernel auditor in store).
phone is bit lazy ( like old android phones but still usable for basic functionality like picking a call or responding to sms)
but every time i need reasonable work i enable 2 big cores. with just 2 taps and when done turn them off.
As for services i disabled pretty much everything and left only minimum 7 services running as seen on screenshots. also do not disable location services or phone will not boot. killing them after boot is enough it seems.
I enable google play services + play store + download manager just when i need to download/update some app and disable them afterwards
for fast enabling/disabling most used services i use free package disabler from store and keep them in his favorites. too bad his widgets dont work on my device. also it doesnt stop services after disabling so i stop them wih force stop helper.
in developer options i disabled background services and enabled gpu acceleration for 2d.
this is second time i am trying to reach 16 days and I am in the middle.
what would elevate battery life for a little bit longer is if I guess if I can lets say each 9min be on airplane mode with 1 min airplane off to catch missed calls sms.
i remember i did pulse airplane mode from cron with script and build in utils but i guess that would require cron running in background whole time which i dont like.
Is it possible to launch timed events based on hw timer without having an app running?
I love cpu tuner that has exactly that airplane pulsing but each time it pulses it crashes. if i only knew why.
Also is it possible to find out what service on folowing screenshots eaten how much cpu and why ?
thx guys. hopefully i will reach more than 16 days with your help.

I just have one question... Why? This phone already has an amazing battery. Why kill functionality for a marginal increase in battery?

I am not sure I would call2 days fantastic battery life. Also I dont think I sacrificed that many functionality. If i need camera i enable it in one tap i need play store i enable it etc.
Now is this litle incovenience worth aditional 13 days for me definitely yes.
also how come phone lasts 2 days before and 16 days after ? this is definitely waste and governors are not equal to core shutdowns i guess
After some time when i will reach maximum . lets say 20 days ?
Only then I will start reenabling minimum common sense features like pulse wifi and email at specific intervals.
In the end when I will have more clear idea what services are draining battery unnecessarily I will try to code something that pulses wifi plus disables cores/services when screen is off.

I don't understand you, what’s the problem by charging it every 2 days and no need to limit it.I prefer it fast and no missing any call or sms,I've just frezzed some apps that I use rarely and others to stay active in background.

The OP clearly has a project where he wants to maximize every joule of energy available to him - which is a very noble endeavor. We live in societies which are all too happy to waste the resources available to them - the case in point here is that we have two posters quoted above who think that wasting energy is somehow acceptable - and charging up the device more than necessary is perfectly fine.
Whatever the reason the OP has decided to pursue this endeavor, it is in the spirit of XDA that we encourage and help, if we can. It is not for us to batter the aspirations of another member, purely because we don't understand the motives of their pursuit. This is a community and the only way it will thrive is if we encourage the curiosity and passion that has driven us so far.

You may be right but from my point of view what for I need a movil phone if I can't receive a call or a sms at the moment?By removing the Sim, without using any app and turning off data and wifi you can get too about a week without charging but then it has no sense.

I think enabling 2 big cores is unnecessary for your purposes, just allow the small cores to clock up to 0.8-1ghz when you need work done. If your phone is 'lazy' with 1 core clocked @400mhz you're wasting screen on power whilst waiting for the 400mhz to do its thing.

Updates?

Thx panyan for warm support. I also think that xda is fantastic place for all kinds of tinkerers and experimenters. who knows where most modern software in mobile phones would be if we had not places to evolve like XDA, a lot of features that are now in android or ios were firsp created and popularized by comunity as mods first. or firmwares that would not exist for older phones otherwise.

You are right. Thats great idea hopefully governor will be as efficient as manual throttling. Will definitely try that.
not much progress thou ;( can't push past 16th day.
Biggest drain right now is phone idle. are you guys aware of way to have finer power usage log ? ie what exactly is eating that cpu ?
Or mayby broadband chip is thirsty when sihnal is weak.
mayby airplane on for 5 mins when signal is weak would help. but right now I have not idea where the power is sinking. I am allready on 2g so maybe some 2g parameters to tinker with ?

currently I am getting 20~24 days of stand by time with network on, wifi off, no data. although I use the phone only as a back up and rarely use it. So the insane standby is expected
