Battery Replacement Tutorial (with the One X+ Battery) WITH REVIEW! - HTC One X

hi
I made a video tutorial on how to change the battery, its my first tutorial so let me know what i could improve etc.
I already followed some advice about going over some things too fast and so I left annotations via YouTube! :good:
Anyways, it's been almost a week with the new battery, my phone is still perfectly working and I will be doing another video reporting the improvements soon... but overall, the battery life is much better and the phone doesn't get as hot!
Enjoyyyy....

hey guys, just did a video of a load of screenshots of the new battery performance... check it out... hopefully, it'll answer the question of is it worth it
(had to re-upload due to copyright infringement with the music lol)
:good:

It would be good if anyone could post links to companies that will sell genuine HTC One X+ battery

I'm guessing he's either a spammer or he needs to get his postcount up for something. He's been cutting/ pasting comments in other threads too.

Where can i get one of those bad boys

So your conclusion is that I can get ~33% more screen time with the new battery and the same usage?

i think sooo, but it sounds like ur holding me to a contract haha... battery life is relative, apparently some HOXs get 6-7 hours screen on time but i've never seen it! i think i know 4 HOXs which all had similar battery life performance to me when i had the old battey...

I'm tempted to buy one of these batteries and give the swap a go. How are people getting on with new the battery 1 month on?

bulging on ONE X back

i dont know if its there when i bought the phone , but i noticed it 2 days back a small bulging just above HTC logo on back of the phone ...
i think it the heating part of phone ...
i tried to take some pics but cant get to see it ..
check if any body has it ...
That is odd..
The back of mine is completely flat/flush, even when I put a ruler against it, there is not the slightest bump.
I'd take it back to the shop and tell them about it!
I assume something has expanded, like the battery. Take it back before it's too late, as the last thing you want is it getting worse, or something to happen like the battery to suddenly stop working!
Edit:
Could you provide maybe a side-on shot so we can see how elevated it is? Like lay it face down on a table and take a photo of the side, and possibly hold something straight like a ruler, that way it'd be easier to see

I see it now, definitely nothing like that on my HOX. I highly recommend you take it back to the shop (if it's not too late) in case it could lead to something breaking.

@Op, horrible for you indeed,.
My suggestion, send it back for repair or replace.
Good luck!

Should do, if you bought the phone within the last 28 days or something. You'd get one on the spot I think.
If you are past that, it will probably be sent for repair and fixed or replaced.

Even I have a slight bulge on my htc one x it's hardly 20 days old. I think many are having this issue . Htc should replace our handsets
Definatley a replacement job, nothing like I've seen.
As stated before mine is completely flat.
I really suggest getting that thing replaced. If that has anything to do with the battery or the placement of the heat, it can be very dangerous. I've heard of batteries expanding and bursting. I really suggest getting rid of that phonw, and if it burst when your using it. You can have a serious burn on your hands. Good luck

This caused me to go crazy and test mine to see if it bulged! Luckily, I can thankfully conclude, it has not

Htc take note of this . And test it if it's a global problem or not . We've spent a fortune for this phone. Kindly replace all devices with the problem
Have you taken it to a service center? What did they say? Because I have the same problem here :\
And also, do you by any chance use a silicon case? Because (call me crazy, an idiot, a nonsensical airhead, whatever) I suspect that it might have something to do with it
device not dead yet ... the dude is still rolling ...

Worth it to spend another hundreds and be happy or don't spend it and addapt?

Yes like many of you... I'm also having second thoughts about the SGS3.
But... Is it really that worth it?

It would be worth if you spend an hour here on hox forum, an hour on sgs3 forum, and 3-4 minutes to search XDA...
Been reading but I still can't decide...
Those who had the sgs3, why did you changed to htc one x?
Thanks.

In my opinion there is no difference between the phones, other than the look and the homescreens etc.
Sense and Touchwiz are the biggest differences, if you like TouchWiz get the s3 if you like sense get the HOX?

My most concern is battery.
I have great options with sgs3, not only the battery last longer but i can hava a backup battery.
That's why im having second thoughts and feel more inclined to the sgs3... However money is holding me a bit.

Totally agree, if you went on aesthetics alone then the HOX would win hands down.
The S3 looks like a washed up pebble, coated in starfish poo. (Plasticy?)

Guess im wrong.

[Q] My battery is broken, right? [SCREENSHOTS]

Take a look at these screenshots.
My battery is f*cked, right?
Looks like it's broken, I had the same issues with my previous battery.
Yep, its dead. I had exactly the same... Got me a mugen power battery, and my phone is as new now it takes a week or 2 before u get it, but its well worth the wait and u get a 1600mah instead of the stock 1400mah, with the same dimensions. Not like the bigger, extended 3200mah battery, where you need a new back cover. Check it out

Would you agree it'll be better than my BROKEN stock battery? -_-
It is better as ur broken battery, dont worry. As for the 85% problem, i noticed that too. Phone at 5% batt with 3,7v remaining when it should shut down at 3,2v. But i use the nexus one batt calibrator's learn function to give my phone additional amps when needed, as long as i have enough voltage fcourse. That way i can use full potentional of the battery until i take the time to find a better solution to properly calibrate the mugen battery

New Battery case- Esorun

http://www.prweb.com/releases/2013/7/prweb10963725.htm
Looks like a new battery case for the HTC m7
It is also looking more stylish and less cumbersome! Gunna keep an eye on this one. May order when I can and do a review
How Much
Looks like a nice slim case. I can't find the price anywhere though and when will it go up for sale?

Thank you for your message, I think the HTC phone's battery is very good, its lifetime can be up to 10 hours of time, which has brought me a lot of convenience and benefits I do not have to worry about the phone because no electrical and affect my thing
looks like it's only 23$ on ebay! just ordered one. i don't really need another case and battery life has been decent on this phone, but you can't go wrong with 23$

I thought I had seen this on amazon or ebay for cheap!
When you get it, could you tell me how thick it is compared to no case at all? It's been bugging me for ages as none of the sellers say its size
I found a cheaper Vendor selling direct from China. He also delivers to Germany.

My buddy just got his in the mail. We put it side by side with the iblason and it's the same thing. They moved the charger port to center but the same issues. With the week, no very week charge. I did a review on this please check it out.

I think when the battery charge is not longer, and the absence of the inferior battery protection circuit should be stopped after full charge. If the long-term without the battery and the phone should be separated.

Battery HOX

I scrolled through the subjects but couldnt really find an answer.
My battery is getting weaker after 14 months of intensive use and I want to replace it.
What is the best choice, a New 1800mah, a 2100mah from the HOX+ or another one from Ebay. Who tried the HOX+ battery already?
Thanks in advance

i did too replace with hox+ batt from ebay for $17 . it didn't get hot when playing games. like CCU. only the cpu not the batt.
works like charm
Hox+ battery works great. My only regret is that I acidentally broke the connector to the volume buttons....
If you follow the tutorial given by DiluTe you should be fine. Just don't forget to remove the warranty sticker protected screw
pin of htc one x very bad
It pretty much runs the same voltage and can deliver more amps. So that's why it doesn't get hot fx. I bought one from eBay six months ago but my original battery still works. I did a proper battery calibration that made it give the right state data. Perhaps try that first.
