Help with deciding whether to replace battery. - HTC One X

My HOX gets 4 hours screen on and 9 hours off charger and that's with auto brightness and screen filter at 60% all day long. I have llama profiles to help with battery and I don't have wakelocks. I think my battery is going soon.
I read through all the comments in the thread about the HOX+ battery being compatible. Something like 72 pages lol. I feel confident of replacing but not sure if I should shell out 35USD on a HOX+ battery. I read of two OE three occurrences where the phone just dies after 4 months and the phone is rendered dead from the usage.
My question goes to those whose had the HOX+ battery in their HOX for a couple of months and whether they've seen improvement or disappointment. Have you faced any troubles? Is it worth the change?
I'm thinking of selling this on swappa and might grab an Optimus G or a GS3 with the extra cash if you guys do not believe it is worth it.
Thanks!

I forgot to mention. I barely use the phone. Most of it is actually flipping through the launcher and texting with no calls. No gaming. Nothing. 4 hours of just texting.

Anyone?

try *#*#4636#*#* if you are ons ense you should get the HTC testing and i believe there is a battery test in there.
last time i did it it said if after the test you have below 80% battery then it needed replaced not sure if that is still correct.

Finally a reply. Do you do this test at full battery? Did you do a replacement

the HOX+ battery is compatible...better cooling and more mA/H respect the HOX one. if u need a replacement do it
of course u need to do 5 up to 10 charge cycle before noticing the difference..

Have any of you had the one x+ battery in your hox for for a long time now? My battery still rates at 100. But its ridiculous.

Not Satisfied yet.

Screen on time 3 hours and 10 minutes, won't let me upload that. What can I do to prolong the battery even more, or is this probably as good as it gets?
That's about as good as it'll get with 3hrs 10min screen on.
It's weird how they give stock batteries that are just a little short. Example:
I got an evo 3d battery for my sensation which only has 200 mah more capacity, but with ics and a new battery, I finally have a phone that lasts for the whole day with heavy use.....

I'm too busy working to try and use my phone for a third of my work day
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I get pretty much exactly 4 hours of screen time unless I really spread out the usage.
-Android revolution HD 4.0.0 rom
-Stock kernel
-Running Wi-Fi most of the day - but with lots if dropped connections
-Still dropping the non data signal a lot too.
-autobrightness on
standard usage - twitter, Facebook, tapatalk, YouTube, chrome beta, texting etc.
Could probably get it to 4.5 hours if I was trying.
I'm tempted to try a new kernal - maybe the Jame bond kernel which gives some people 5 hours screen time apparently.
That's not bad at all. About average for most phones. If you can't deal with it, buy a bigger battery.

Turning off bluetooth / wifi when not in use? What's your screen brightness level and do you have many widgets updating constantly? Things like that will drain battery, try checking into those.

You can get better. I get 5 hours screen on time using Trinity's experimental alpha 1 kernel. I'll try to upload the photo, xda app is being kind of finicky .

Used it for my Nexus S when traveling and now my Galaxy Nexus. They have a new one that's 12,000 mAh. (the one linked is 11,000) Support is kick ass.
I know the end result is trying to save money while increasing battery, but at least I can use this for multiple phones, 3DS, etc. Plus I NEED it for GPS when traveling due to my vision. Worth the investment.

T-Mobile Terrible Battery Life

Hi everyone I got my phone 4 days ago and have been through charge cycles but my battery life sucks. I only get a Max of 2hrs on screen time and 12 hours with the phone on (if its in airplane mode the whole time). Also, it takes forever to charge. I charged it from 7pm to 10:30pm and it went from 2% to 34%. And as i type this message (on wifi) I lost 3% battery life. What should I do?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Also it seems that display takes up 50% battery (which is good) but as soon as I send one text, phone immediately goes to 50% and display down to 18%. It stays that way all day and rebooting does not help. And the battery percent goes up and down without charging. And yes I have calibrated it multiple times

You should return it. My on screen time is 3hrs and I still have 61% left.

Yup, I can get 4+ hours screen time, not on power saver. You need to swap your phone out, something's not right.
Something is definitely wrong. I had a 45 minute conversation in my car today with the screen on for navigation and it only drained 15%. I was quite impressed.

Call up T-Mobile and tell them your battery is defective and they will send you a new one free of charge. Plus you can keep your old one.

Well I went back to the tmobile store and just swapped the phone. Hopefully this one will be better than the last.

Most likely, you have a lemon, and you should exchange it.
keep in mind, if you store your phone in a hot place it will drain considerably quicker..happen to my S2

Then they'll start charging. My friends Sensation legit needed a back cover for his phone (power button was shot and volume rocker fell out) but he couldn't get one from HTC after three attempts.
Try doing a factory reset. It helped on my S3.

Post your battery stats

I've been watching this thread in the N7100 forum. Let's see how the att version compared to the International! I have yet to decide between the att & International version.
Let's see your results!!
I've had the international for the past 2 weeks and got the att version today and so far battery is
Better on the international, gave the International to my gf thinking the att one would be better and I was
Wrong, as far as speeds go hspa vs lte just a a second or 2 faster
At least for browsing the Web, I'll update my results once I have the
Phone longer, but get the international if you can.
So far international easy I would get 16hrs so far my att note 2 died at 8 hrs. I must have something I need to adjust
This was straight out the box with only 55ish% charge. Completely stock. Im happy so far.

[ISSUE] Random Reboots

So, I've had my new N7 for a full day now and I have had about 5 random reboots that I have noticed. Anyone else getting this? Also my calendar app isn't syncing for some reason, get the sync error. Thinking a factory reset is already in order, but just wondering if I am the only one.

I also saw that after reboot my SwiftKey was all messed up. I am rooted and unlocked. I am wondering if the way that SU is integrated into the system is what is causing these issues.

I don't think root is the cause of these reboots. My nexus 7 has rebooted twice already and it is completely stock as I have only used it for 2 hours so far. I installed both updates too.

I don't think this is a widespread issue yet. Something software wise was wonky. Battery drain was crazy, screen wasn't even showing up in the battery stats. New one has been flawless though. Crazy good battery and no reboots * knock on wood*

Thanks for the reply. Ya I am getting about an hour of screen on time per 10% battery drain. Battery exceeds expectations since it is a higher resolution screen, and a smaller battery compared to the previous generation. We found a office Max with one so we are just going to exchange the 16gb model and hope we don't get another wonky one.

Battery life.. just amazing

after rooting and getting my note 3 on att I have to say I am just in awe how good the battery life is.
I have sync on for gmail, facebook, linkedin and moderate use I am at 2 days and 7 hours off the charger with 18% left. Screen time of 5 hours and 6 minutes.
Killed a lot of apps with TI and it has really just been awesome
Yeah, I'm about to hit éight hours of screen on time, pretty damn good for a stock unrooted phone.
