Hey guys,
Im runnen renovatie Final 3, but my battery drains still fairly Quick. Having my screen on for like less than 30mind and already at 67percent..all I do is a little browsing and whatsapp..
How can I improve battery?
All setting are already off and screen is dim.
I must add: I'm running hboot 1.31.

Wich Kernel do you use?
Im running on the kernel posted in the renovate thread, the normal kernel.
Not xm243 or any thing..

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.
Tips and what kernel to use?

My tip: Update your hboot to 1.39 and then try it again with Xmister kernel. For me it works perfect

Read out your CID with the fastboot command: fastboot oem readcid

Battery drains really fast, done a battery calibration but nothing, phone is only a year old ish and when its on charge it sometimes says full when its lower than 100% see picture below.
I had the same problem with charging.I charged it few times when it was turned off and now it is back to normal to 100% fully charged. About the drain issue try different kernel if you are using a custom rom!

Just switched to MildWild CM-2.8 and its charging fine, recommend a different kernel even with this rom ?
I had a mildwild rom for about a month and battery life was great but if it still drains you can try ManU kernel! I didn't try it but people say it's great!

No, not on oxygen derivatives. Uses different camera drivers so that doesn't work, but think other things won't either. Have to stick with the _thalamus kernels, which I believe are pretty good too. Same .35 base?

You are right! My mistake
i use task killer and let apps close when screen is off, dont use any apps though really just facebook really. Using nighty 258 now battery seems better but have to data Wi-Fi is a killer :/ last about 5 hours with wi-fi on, having mobile data on is just as bad.
One shouldn't use a task killer app with Android. It does more bad than good, in terms of battery life.

instead of flooding all other threads I thought of creating one of my own.
I am running ARHD 8.1 with faux kernel 006. Previously I was on stock kernel with ARHD but due to poor battery life I flashed faux kernel. With gsam battery monitor I saw that my HOX kernel is consuming 40% of battery. After flashing the kernel it remained the same. What is the matter I don't know. Is this the reason of poor battery life? This is my screenshot:

I noticed that you seem to have flashed and done a lot of mods to your phone.
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.

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.

Hey there guys.
Hope you all doing well.
Its been three days now my phone has started being weird.
Being warm all the time , have installed battery widget to check the temperature, so while in sleep mod the temp of the device is below 34 and right after i wake the phone up and start using it , temp starts raising up to 40 above and to be honest using the heated up phone is really really horrible
I have used and backed up Viperx, CM alpha, Trip's CM and Kholk's CM version.
Like i have used all of them but Viperx and CM alpha Roms are the most stable ones , like i can use both of them without any hesitation.
So i was on CM alpha when the problem started (three days back). Got two updates on that day, one for the UCCW and the other one is CM alpha.
TO BE HONEST, I AM NOT POINTING THESE TWO, APP AND ROM. JUST LETTING YOU GUYS KNOW SO YOU CAN GET TO SOME SOLUTION.
So i updated UCCW and the latest version of Alpha ROM.
Updated them before going to sleep and the next morning i started facing the heat issue :/
Right now i am back on viperx, thought it might be a ROM issue but it isn't it is still the same plus now the phone is not that responsive. It lags alot, while typing, scrolling, booting up device, opening any application
So please guys, devs please help me sorting it out.
Any question, anything to ask, just post i am here to reply.
Thankssss in advance couse i know guys here are helpfull.
Sighs!

I'm not really sure, but it's always a great idea to clear all available caches, in fastboot and on your phone & if you're using a custom kernel, just don't. I hate them, they're no where near as stable as stock
Otherwise you could try reflashing viperx with a full wipe and ota to the latest version

actually the heating up issue is in CM alpha as well not particularly Viperx :/
so that mean its an issue in my phone
isn't it ?
does your phone randomly go to silent ?
You shouldn't really jump to conclusions of a hardware issue, everyone since the defects with certain HOX's have always presumed it's hardware rather than software - I can't really say how hot it should be, because i don't take any notice to mine - but to me (i don't really know how hot it should be...) 40 isn't that hot.
Would you say its quite warm or hot, hot, hot?
And when it is that temperature are you running any sort of graphical processes?
Games maybe? Tegra games? My advice is to just maybe in the new Viper X turn your CPU to a lower frequency see if that helps at all - just don't overclock, i never would. That's when you risk frying your phone!
Good luck, let me know how you get on!

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.

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.

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.
