Ive had my new HTC desire from 3 UK for a couple days now and although i had read the battery life wasnt great on these things im shocked how bad it is!
For the first couple days the battery was not lasting the day from a full charge in the morning so i decided to try the new leedroid 2.3a on it.
Still no better. The phone does seem smoother with leedroids ROM but from a full charge this morning 8AM to now 2:15PM the battery is already down to 30!! I have not really been messing around with the phone alot, couple of txt and a phone call but thats it.
Any tips on what i can look into to see whats killing my battery so fast?
Had same problem with sense roms untill i swapped to cyanogen mod. Running 6.1 with defrost kernel. Always have above 30% when i put it back on the charger, 15-20 hours. Used alot. Try a aosp rom. Guarantee better battery life.

How much are you actually using the phone? I'd imagine you're on it quite a bit so of course battery will go down quicker
I also assume you didn't make a note of your original ROM version so you can go back to stock with an RUU if you decide you wanna send it back...
battery sucks...get used to it. sorry.
I've had a desire since may and i can count on one hand how many days my phone has lasted till bed time from a full charge in the morning.
some tips for you
3g kills your battery, 2g and sync on will use less battery than 3g and sync off.
get some power widgets to controll your phone, ie 2g/3g, sync, wifi, brightness, gps and use them wisely.
a bright screen on an amoled desire will kill your battery...turn it down unless you cant see it.
+1 for cyanogenmod
That is not true in all cases. My battery lasts more on 3G compared to Edge,not sure why. I experience frequent overheating as well when on Edge. 3G+WIFI Hotspot tend to last more than 2G+Sync.
I've been using auraxtsense for a while now, with browsing the internet, texting, maybe 20 mins of phonecalls my battery would last around 36 hours on a full charge, however i've gotten into the habbit of charging phones when i go to bed anyway.
I've left it for 3 days before doing nothing on it other than getting the occasional text message on some days off from work.
Hello everyone
So a couple of days ago I finally got the 1.29 update which I had been eagerly waiting for, however it turned out to actually kind of ruining the battery life on my device, both in standby and when playing games especially. I've had 2 one x's. The first one I returned because it had a battery failure out of the box and the battery life was horrible so i got a new one a few weeks back which has been working great until this stupid 1.29 update. Now the battery is really bad, not horrible like the first one x and nor is it unusable but the battery drains like 30% or 20% quicker than on the 1.28 software. So my question is basically, have anyone else experienced this issue on the newest firmware or is it just me?
Thanks in advance

I think you might have a point re: dimishing battery.
I've had my One X since Tuesday - and so I'm still getting a handle on it.
But I have noticed that today, after doing the update this morning, that my battery seems to be dissipating more quickly than previously.
I have no empirical data to back this observation up however - but whereas before, it seemed to lose little juice when sitting idle, it now seems to be losing more power.
Can't remember what serial number phone I have - but I'm one of the unlucky ones as well who has yellow spots/streak that's visible on white screens.
Mine also seems to run quite hot doing basic tasks.
This arvo, it was running as hot as my old Desire was when doing Google Maps, whilst charging in the car on a trip - and that was just doing a bit of web browsing over a half hour period...

One of the changes in 1.29 was the way the battery stats were reported. Pre 1.29 you be on 99% then suddenly go down to 94% in a second. With the update the battery stats update more often but in slower steps, closer to real battery use.
However, personally i think the battery has got a hell of a lot worse since the initial 1.26 software. I've lost about an hour of screentime since 1.28/1.29 turned up
I definatly seemed to get better battery on 1.26
I said this after the 1.28 OTA update.
But I think even from 1.28, the 2 updates to 1.29 variants have lowered it further.
This is the general feeling I've had.

Wrong forum mate.
Same here.... Both 1.29 are the same for my battery life. And lots of heat also.
1.28 was much better for me.

Im also having this same issue, ive noticed battery is drainingg at least 20% faster. I have the international version and im using it with Claro here in Puerto Rico. But my other concern is that since update, i dont know if it has something to do with the battery also draining faster, but for this last week, it has been getting warmer. While only browsing im on the 45c* wich is ridiculous cause last time i was browsing for like 15 min, i then got a call and i couldnt even put the phone to my ear because it was so hot.

I have purchased many smartphones and this is one of the worst when it comes to battery life. Makes me appreciate the iPhone 4S and my Samsung Note with the 2500 battery it comes with and the fact that one can carry along an extra battery to pop right in when the thing goes out on you which unfortunately can not be done on this device.
Crap. I just updated to 1.29. Hope I had read this post before!

hello everyone, i am new to this community, sorry for my bad english, i would need some help. i have a htc one x for several weeks now, and i have a hudge problem with the battery life on this device, im a really hudge fan of htc, but im dissapointed, so for example, i have 9/10 lines of battery life in my settings menu, i plug it in , and start playing dead space, after 40 mins of playing the battery actually dropped by 2 lines , and i had left 7/10 lines of battery. how is that even possible??! all the phones i had, laptops, etc that require a battery worked in the folowing order: if you plug it in and took the battery out, it still worked, so if you had the battery in, it both keept alive the phone/laptop/every device on the world, while charging the battery, so if you use it, it wont loose power, but gained it. i wached a lot of videos and posts of people explaning hot to get more guice out of htx one x , and some wore like, well , dont use it too much, or do ont turn on your phone to see the clock cause it will save some battery..... ?!?! well i dodn't pay a ton of money to have a phone in my pocket and not be able to see what the time is, or play something/ lisen to music , without actually noticing that in 2-3 hours i wont be able to make a call, yes its a strong phone, and verry good one, by design, by hardware, and software, but the sad thing is the battery, does anyone have a mirracoulous tip for me? and perhaps others as well... (oh and i charged it as ppl from htc told me, first three times with the battery empty for 8 hrs..)
the battery will run out whilst charging, under heavy usage, because the phone is using more power than the charger can provide.
laptop chargers can handle this, simply because the charger provides more power to it. (and the fact laptop batteries tend to be several times the size of the hox)
you should only find that whilst using a battery/cpu intensive task such as navigation (it uses GPS, data sometimes, and the screen is on) that the charger won't be enough, but for most other things, like general web browsing etc, the charger will do it quickly enough
the screen is what takes basically all of the battery, so you can reduce that by making the screen brightness a bit less bright..
the battery life when the screen is off is incredible. WAY better than any other phone i've had. when the screen is off, the phone uses about 1% battery every 2 hours or so. and that was with wifi etc connected and autosync still switched on.
whether the phone will last you all day or not, depends on your usage. if it doesn't, then either make the brightness even lower, or you can purchase a portable charger. or a battery case.
there's no point saying well other phones have better battery life like an iphone. lets be realistic, the iphone DOES NOT have better battery life. it may have had decent standby battery life, but so does tegra 3, probably better than iphone now. when you actually use an iphone, or any other smartphone for that fact, the battery disappears just as quickly as this one does.
Tegra 3 standby is awesome. Just tried an experiment. Please note that this is with 3g or WiFi on all this time and with auto sync.
Again this is just to demonstrate standby time.
For the op, are you sure you don't have a rogue app? Also are you using an HTC charger?

i know stand by is awseome, and i am using the original out of the box charger and cable, but i might go ahead since i know a thing or two about electronics and modify the charger at 2 amps vs 1 amp currently.. this will give me faster charging, but im still researching, cuz i have second toughts
p.s. do you have a costum rom? it doesent look like a prtscreen from htc one x

Unlikely. Unless the phone knows it can draw 2 amps, it has to assume a 1A capable charger (designated by connecting the data pins together).

I used it all 11 hours. Mostly reading second book of Game of Thrones in Kindle app. Checked some net sites, xda forum app, some blogs. Few calls and texts. All the time on wifi. Was sick in bed. Auto brightness, but as my eyes didn't liked strong sun is can say that it was quite dim inside.
But it probably depends on usage. Yesterday I was reading on the beach and I had 4 hours screen on time. Probably brightness all the way up as it was quite hot sunny day.
On normal day I get 4-5 hours screen on time.
Full stock One X.

batteries nowadays can resist pretty much, and unlike a laptop battery that has a chip in it and it records every charge, and then after x charges it suddeny stops working correctely this is cuz of the company chip they insertet to make is useless after x charges, a phone battery is just a normal one, this is tested, i opened a laptop battery and took the chip out, and via com port on pc, i was able to retrive the data storred by the company that produced it, but was not able to reset it, (comsporacy) lol . so i will buy a htc battery, not necesarry one x's and i will test it my charging it a couple o times bowth with the amp maxed, from 1 to 2 (1,1..1,2 etc) and voltage from 5 to 10 V, maby ill get a result, that is a little better than the technique i saw a couple pages away about charging your phone, then powerring it off, charging it again, then pwr on charging it again etc, forgot the method name, but in my opinion bubjecting a rechargable battery to so manny fluctuations of current in so little time does not sound good, my idea of amping the charger or the voltage by just a little sounds a little better in my opinion

you have a lot to learn then.. Batteries can explode, and they do: here's a video of some guys iphone setting on fire in his back pocket, turned out to be the battery that caused it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIRXDeEzlcw&feature=youtube_gdata_player
That isn't my pure reasoning behind my thoughts anyways, whatever experiments you do with higher amp chargers won't do anything, because the phone won't accept more charge than the circuitry allows. Which happens to be a safe amount for the battery. This is so the battery doesn't get damaged, and in some circumstances, set on fire or explode.
If you take the battery out and start prodding things at it and take it over its limits, be prepared for fire or explosion. Like Ben said, put yourself and only yourself at risk if you choose to do it.. And be wise and have a fire extinguisher ready.

I've been having the same issue as well. The stock ROM on HTC one X drains the battery rapidly. For me, In normal day which includes listening to music, playing games, browsing and making calls, my battery would last maximum up to 20 hours; meaning that every night when I go to bed I had to charge it for the next day.
This problem was battling me a lot. I learned that the stock ROM is taking advantage of all (4) CPU's and memory even while in idle. The whole battery consumption relies on the CPU usage and Memory management.
I moved to a custom ROM called ViperX 2.6.0. I'm very satisfied with the result. It seams that they've managed the CPU and memory in a very good and neat way. The ROM has a lot of tweaks.By default, when installing the fresh ROM and wiping the battery stat, the battery would last one and half a day. By doing a number of simple tweaks such as disabling the animations on transitions, disable fast dormancy and disable smart sync you can have the battery up to two days.
Check the attachment, it's a screen shot of my battery usage.
Hope this helps.

How the hell are you getting this much screen time ?!
I dim the screen to the lowest brightness and disable
sync and sometimes in flight mode, and I can hardly get
3h of screen time! I mostly read on it, so it shouldn't
be battery intensive.
oh, and If I use it outside it lasts even less 2-2.5h.

AOSP roms get much less battery life than Sense roms, 3hrs screen on time is about average.
I'm currently running CM10 with Neo kernel 7.2 @ 1.3GHz and getting almost 4hrs screen on time. With Faux kernel it was usually around 3hrs.
Chrisjcks, what do u mean by "your phone is knackered"?!
Its a new phone! I just got it 2 weeks ago.
Michealtbh, it may be somthing with the APOP rom, but I really
hate using sense ... I want to try this Neo Karnel first,
Can I just flash it on my cm10? (without wipe)
Where can I get it?

Your phone is fine.
You can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1873615
You have to flash the boot.img through fastboot then the modules in recovery. You're probably using CM10 kernel atm

Ok, but don't moan of battery if you are running a beta (alpha) custom rom.
The HTC ONE X battery is fine, especially after the sense 4.1/4.0.4 upgrade from 2.17

Michealtbh, Thanks!
I'll try that soon. (it's stable, right?)
I'm now testing the new Nightly.. it's real good and battery life,
seems promising, looks like I'll get 3.5-4h of screen time there
(No sync with low brightness though)
chrisjcks, I'm not using alpha roms, just the stable ones.
and this DOES feel very bad battery life to me, I come to the hox
from Motorola milestone, and there I could easily get 7-8 hours
of screen time with wifi. (and it has smaller battery and 40% overclocked!!)
How much do you get on the new stock?
When I was on stock i remember it ran out after half a day,
only using it for music and taking some videos.
Battery life varies a lot. On stock in London I get a full day screen time of around 2-3 hours with 3G on all the time. Which for me is fine.
Last weekend I was in Portsmouth and the signal was very patchy and my phone died within 10 hours. Hardly any screen on time.
So it does really depend and will vary for user to user depending on your signal and how the phone is set up.
Mine is usually on auto brightness, and auto syncing on.
Today I've been at home as I've got a damn cold but my screen on time is over 4 hours in good signal and wifi. Same setup. So you can gather from this that signal, data used, etc can affect battery life in many ways.

I'm close to buying a new phone because the battery life on my One X is HORRENDOUS.
I'm on Viper 3.4. Ever since I upgraded from what I think was 2.7, my battery has taken a massive, massive decline in quality. I flashed AOKP and it was terrible, so I went back to sense and it just...wasn't the same. The standby time WITH wifi and autosync on the old Viper had me losing about 1% per hour, sometimes less.
After going to AOKP and then back, it just hasn't been anywhere near as good. And now that I'm on 3.4, it's just ridiculously bad.
This is my battery life from Friday. I woke up at about 8.45 and unplugged my phone soon afterwards. Used it a bit on the way to work at 10, then I checked it every now and then for new messages, and maybe responded. I finished work at 6. At this point I was below 50% despite barely using the phone at all. On the way home, the battery just completely shat itself and dropped to about 18% by 8pm.
Something else odd I noticed, you know when the phone heats up when you're playing games and stuff? After receiving a phone call that I ignored while I was at work, I could feel the phone becoming extremely hot in my pocket (I didn't even take it out!). Why?!

When you installed Viper again did you installed all the apps back the normal way (by Google Play) or did you used a backup tool to do that? Like TitaniumBackup...
Before asking stupid battery questions, use BBS and find the battery suckers first.

Oh man,why so unkindly? Stupid questions.......
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk 2
Well I've had similar issue with all the different ROMs and kernels I've used. Even stock without any apps my phone is already at 60% after 3 hours.
BBS and GSam showed nothing that can be resolved.
I have sent my phone for service (I know this is like the last resort), and they say might be mainboard issue. So hopefully that is the case and once it comes back it will be better.
You could do the same.
Look at your awake time. My HOX lasts 3-4 days with low usage and WiFi/Sync always on but my awake time looks nothing like yours. Completely stock.
You should try finding the apps that are causing this with BBS. 2 apps that I have tried and are completely destroying my battery life are Skype and Viber. You can start with Pulse, Snapchat, disabling Google Now and go to Google Maps -> Settings -> Location Settings -> Location reporting -> Do not report. I don't know about the first 2 but according to your screenshot, they might be an issue. The location reporting isn't a massive battery drain but it is a battery drain for sure.
If that does not work, return the phone to factory settings and keep the phone with the minimal amount of applications to see if it is actually a hardware issue before taking it for repairs. I'm guessing that your warranty is void so don't be in a hurry to give money away

When you installed Viper again did you installed all the apps back the normal way (by Google Play) or did you used a backup tool to do that? Like TitaniumBackup...

Backup tool...
You did flash the right boot.img in fastboot when swappin roms didnt you?
I would wipe data and flash the stock boot and rom, without installing all your apps, and see if it makes any difference.
My HOX came back and currently monitoring the replaced battery.
So far so good nearing 2 hours screen time at 70% and before was just 1 hour only.
I'm close to buying a new phone because the battery life on my One X is HORRENDOUS.
I'm on Viper 3.4. Ever since I upgraded from what I think was 2.7, my battery has taken a massive, massive decline in quality. I flashed AOKP and it was terrible, so I went back to sense and it just...wasn't the same. The standby time WITH wifi and autosync on the old Viper had me losing about 1% per hour, sometimes less.
After going to AOKP and then back, it just hasn't been anywhere near as good. And now that I'm on 3.4, it's just ridiculously bad.
This is my battery life from Friday. I woke up at about 8.45 and unplugged my phone soon afterwards. Used it a bit on the way to work at 10, then I checked it every now and then for new messages, and maybe responded. I finished work at 6. At this point I was below 50% despite barely using the phone at all. On the way home, the battery just completely shat itself and dropped to about 18% by 8pm.
Something else odd I noticed, you know when the phone heats up when you're playing games and stuff? After receiving a phone call that I ignored while I was at work, I could feel the phone becoming extremely hot in my pocket (I didn't even take it out!). Why?!

I'm close to going out and buying an Xperia Z. I'm on an international One X, doesn't even have 4G, and the battery is just atrocious now.

Download antutu tester and do a battery test.
A kernel is how ur software interacts with your hardware. flash one and see if it helps u out. I get 12-16 hours battery on normal everyday use with a kernel
