Hello my fellow members,
This is my first post. I have a HTC ONE X TEGRA3 Device JB . Recently my phone battery has started draining quite fast particularly in night, When the phone is in sleep. Also battery drain does not stop even when the charger is co nected. There is no network problem and the Data connection is OFF. I have used Better Battery App and have attached the screenshots. Pls help.
I find that my battery is draining too. I flashed viper using cwm. The main reason for going custom was to get better battery life. Please help anyone as I was an iOS user then I saw the light so that makes me a noob

My bbs looks pretty similar to your screens. Unplugged my phone after a full charge @ 5:30 AM, now it's 25%.
screen on time of just one hour seems pretty poor to me. Running ICJ 1.5 and reflashed the stock kernel last night after trying tripp's tegra kernel. Could this decrease my battery life for the first couple of cycles?
Use better battery stats.. Search for it on Google play
It helps in finding applications draining battery
Your wake locks are 5 mins and under, so I would conclude its not a wake lock draining the battery.

I have a desire z and I am using a recent nightly and loving it but I have one concern my battery usage stats are like these:
After Charging and letting it go standby at night:
When I woke up after 7 hours battery was %89.
Usage was: Cell standby : %46
Phone Idle : %41
Display: %7
Wi-Fi : %5
Now you may tell me it is normal to have only cell standby if I let it go standby but even if I use a lot of gps and google maps for around an hour maybe it still show a lot of cell standby. And when I am using the phone I feel like it drains the battery a lot.
Are these stats normal. I remeber on my stock rom My display was always eating the battery like %40 %50 ish now display never shows above %10 even if I use the phone a lot!
Is this because of radio? Should I try different radios? I had radio that came with downgrade of my Desire Z and than I flashed the neww Bell radio.
Please help cause I am not sure if this is normal.
Noone ? any idea?
I'm on CM7 #186 since Sunday and my battery's live is slightly higher than with stock Gingerbread.
I recommend that you install "Battery Monitor Widget". It uses a lot of RAM, but it has some pretty good statistics what's using the battery.
About the display: I think in stock the battery display stats are wrong. Mine had always 70%. On CM7 it's 7% right now after two working days and moderate news in the evening. Phone idle is 43% right now.
Probably the display usage is wrong on stock rom but i am not really sure. I will try that app you recommend thx.
So my stats arent that weird.

I know there are loads of threads about the HTC ONE X battery but I really could not find a proper answer to my question so im starting a new thread. So I have had my 1X since last thursday, just over a week now and the battery life has been utterly horrible. But the worst thing is that the battery life is getting drastically shorter and shorter every day. Now its unbearable I cant even use the phone. I wonder if it might be because I did not do any 'first time battery charge'?. I just booted the phone instantly instead because honestly I did not know that you had to charge the battery before booting the phone the first time. The first time I started the phone it had just over 40% of battery and I used it until the phone shut off and charged it 100% after that while it was updating to the newest software. Is this perhaps the reason why the battery life is so god damn horrible and even worse than other 1X's?. When I charge the phone 100% it drains 1% of battery or more every minute now just when browsing the menu or the web or just doing nothing but putting the screen on. The screen brightness setting is on automatic and I have tried all kinds of battery savers and now im using juice defender ultimate still the battery life is horrible. I kill and close apps all the time and have nothing running in the background when not using it and I always turn off wifi when not using and I turn off auto sync and all the other battery eating tasks and stuff. Still I cant use the phone. When its 100% charged at about 8:00 in the morning the battery is done for at around 10:30 with moderate use. I cant get more than about 3 hours of on screen time before the battery is finished so basically what should I do? Is this normal?

Agreed, sounds like a faulty battery.

3 hours of on screen time isn't high but it's not abnormal either.

And if you'd have read the other threads that you said don't apply to you you'd realize that because your phone is still new battery life will improve with more charging cycles. If you expect more than 3 hours on the low-end or five on the absolute high-end of screen on time the One X isn't for you. Because of the non-replaceable battery (which shouldn't be a surprise) a lot of us have auxiliary battery chargers for getting through the day when the phone can't be topped up on AC power. Speaking for myself, the design of the phone is what attracted me to it and the non-replaceable battery is a trade-off I accepted. That might not be a trade-off everyone’s willing to accept and the One X isn't going to win any battery life awards.
Autobrightness seemed to cause my battery to drain. Turned it off and its much better (or seems that way for now)

Charging your battery when you first get it does absolutely nothing. Wiping battery stats and callibrating also do absolutely nothing.

Upload few screens of your battery usage so we can see what is causing such drain. I can tell you already now the screen is the main battery drain. A phone can barely survive 4 hours of heavy usage, especially not on automatic brightness.

Yeah ill do that, how do I take a screen shot? Powerbutton + homebutton thing doesn't seem to work for me :S. Today for example iv'e charged the phone 3 times and after the 2nd charge I used to phone for 5 hours and 25m until only a few % of the battery was left. I had juice defender ultimate up and running most of the time and screen time was at around a bit over 2 and a half hours. All I did was some web browsing and mostly menu browsing and setting browsing on the phone and some xda developer browsing with the app. No gaming whatsoever. Really horrible battery... such a pity considering how much I love the phone otherwise. Its no problem when im at home connecting it to the computer with the usb cable all the time but when im actually using the phone outdoors its frustrating as sh*t.
It doesn't really matter what you are doing, you will only get around three hours of screen on time.

Have you tried easy battery saver, started using it on my HOX over 30HRS ago browsing, video calls and still have 33% life left. If it doesn't work I suggest you return for a replacement. Could be factory defect.

I reckon it is. My battery lasts me one and a half days to 2 on a stock standard One X.

Yeah, that was the first one I used, it didn't really help but juicedefender on the other hand helps me squeeze out a bit more battery life

Sounds like a lemon, have it replaced asap. HOX is the only android device I had that gets me through the day w/o charging doing basic stuffs (data always on etc) like what normal people do. I've had sleepless nights last month because my 2-week old GN got pick pocketed battery life for GN in my case was horrible (5 hours).
how do you know if your battery is defective? i'm getting around the same battery life myself :/
This is why unreplaceble batteries suck. I wish I'd bought the s3 instead still though I love the HOX only if the battery was a bit better ffs. Im getting a little bit better battery today but with loads of tweaks, still some 'untweaked' hoxes get better battery lives, still though it seems like there are loads of one x's that have the same issue as I do. Does this mean all one x are different or what?

I tried calibrating the battery with a play store application. So far I've seen no improvement but I guess it's to early to say.

Just let the battery cycle though 3-4 charges and you will start to see a noticeable difference in battery life. Stay clear of battery calibration apps - they just screw up your batterystats.bin file
even when one x is sleeping, battery is being drained fast. this afternoon, i left it sleeping when it had 9% of battery. after two hours i checked the phone, it had ran out...
I agree, even I'm experiencing this. I got equal if not worse battery compared to stock 1.29 ROM. I even had the CPU sleeper app installed and had fast dormancy on. I was using it with stock kernel though. I'm going to try the latest Faux kernel and see how it goes. It's reported to give the best battery life.

why you left your phone with just 9% battery overnight?
anyways there must be an app that is keeping your app awake when screen is off hence why the drain...install betterbatterystats and check what is keeping the phone awake..that way you can uninstall that app and no more drain for you.
plus faux i am using and is brilliant

No problems for me, all running good :laugh:
If fast dormancy is not supported by your network it will in fact increase battery use!
Hi All,
Recently switched from an iPhone to HTC One X and I am quite disappointed so far. Does anyone also endure poor battery life with your HTC One X?
I am not running much applications in the background either, if I charge my phone to 100%, I go to bed and wake up its 80% without me even touching the phone... and it hardly lasts me half a day without charging.
Does anyone have any tips to improve battery life? Oh, and my screen brightness is always at 0-25%... thanks for any help!

There are plenty of threads discussing about battery life, look at few of them to get an idea.
One X battery life is not great, but it should comfortably last a day (around 16 hours or more) with moderate use. But everything depends on what apps you are running and how you the phone. For example if you play graphics intensive 3D games for like 2 or 3hrs then it wont last much more than 4 or 5 hours. Other than processor intensive apps the other biggest battery killer is screen, you can’t get more than 3~4hrs of screen time with One X (but then again 4 hours on the phone is not exactly moderate use either). With normal use i.e: 1~2hrs of screen time for day-to-day tasks (browsing, email, texting etc..) and about 1hr of calls the battery should last 16+ hrs. Standby battery life of One X is fantastic, it hardly drops even more than 5% overnight is left alone. If you notice a 20% drop then there is something wrong. Go to battery usage stats and see which apps are eating up the battery.

There is a huge battery thread in this forum, please read through it. However, to start do as below:
Your overnight behavior is not normal. One X uses a 5th core and barely uses any battery while asleep. Usually with auto sync on I consume 2% overnight (usually 8 hours).
Install CPU spy and Better Battery stats. With CPU spy reset the counter before going to sleep and check the sleep % in the morning, it should be above 90% at 0 mhz. Check if it has several minutes at high mhz (800 to 1200 mhz).
With better battery stats go to other in menu and set custom ref before going to sleep. Check in the morning both kernel wakelocks and partial wakelocks. Check if there are any apps generating the most wakelocks . You could have some of the following consuming your battery overnight (I had all of these):
- weak wifi or data signal generates a lot of kernel wakelocks as the phone is constantly scanning for signal.
- some weather widgets have generated me constant wakelocks
- Facebook, Currents, Flipboard all of those constantly update and consume battery.
Also if your HOX is new at first battery life sucks. Believe me it will get way better after a couple of weeks.
try installing ther latest firmware (2.17). if you cant install then search install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970
works like a charm for me and helps the battery to last longer!
