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??

How long are you able to surf with a fully charged battery and brightness ~50%?

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.

If you know how to root/flash then the best thing to do is try different ROM's and kernel's and see what's best for you based on your usage. Everyone's opinion will differ in this as well as their expectations.
I personally use BAMF ROM which comes with a slightly modified BAMF kernel and I get through most days on a single charge with average use (no gaming).
Just play around with the phone's capabilities and see what works best for you.

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

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.

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).

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.

Does Jelly Bean improve battery life?

Hey,
I've been depressed about my battery life recently - especially how my friends One S lasts nearly twice as long, and was wondering if the Jelly Bean update will fix this issue. I've had cm10 and other jellybean roms, and the battery life seems to be even worse. Right now I get around 8 hours average. Does anyone who has tried the stock 4.1 rom know if battery life will be improved?
Many Thanks

Might be your phone man. Mine lasts for over 24 hours with stock and about 40% being screen on.

Here's proof. Screens been on a bit longer. Kind of weird, I think my phones special because my quadrant scores usually are upper 7000's...

I get pretty good battery life now with ice cold jelly. At first it drained like crazy but I found a Bluetooth bug that drained my battery very fast. Try freezing some not needed apps. That's what I did and my battery life was much better. But be careful of what you disable or remove. You could damage your phone.

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

For me it's improved, I have it on power saver mode and with my light usage on working days I think it can last over 24 hours but never tested it as I charge nightly. Usually I take it off the plug at 8.30am, turn on 3g, browse Facebook and listen to music whilst I go to work, check my phone now and then and xda and browse the net during work, send a few texts make a call or two, check emails, listen to music way back home and such and usually come home with 65-70% battery left around 6pm. With heavier usage it'll drain more probably but for me I've been on nights out come back home around 3-4am and had battery life left on all those occasions.

[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:

You need to let it settle for a few charge cycles

So essentially, use it till the battery is dead, and then charge it up, a few days?
Cheers.

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

I've just heard great stuff for this Rom on battery life, and it's just not impressive so far. It seems to be worse than normal.
