and can i underclock tegra 3 ? will we be able sometime?
i know maybe its a noob question but i really want to do something about battery life..
thnx in advance.
What kind of battery life are you getting anyway? It's pretty decent as it is right now.

haw many days do you have it?
A week almost. (6days)..
I know.maybe its new but i dont know what the normal.is.
But i would like to know about the undercloking , if its available,if its help, and some.opinions.
if you're on the new update or have that power management fix installed, then i don't know. it's an app or a battery problem. i don't think we can oc/uc until there is kernel source, and i don't have knowledge of HTC history on that. if it doesn't improve in a week and you aren't running a bad app, then maybe exchange it?
Set CPU doesn't work on the one x so I tweeted the maker and he said he will try look into it, really needs kernel sources.

I tried underclocking to 1GHz using SetCPU.
I used the phone an entire day with the SetCPU settings and compared it with other days.
I didn't get much different results, maybe we need a custom kernel?
I've been getting about 3+ hours screen time at 30% brightness at 1.26 Haven't really checked on 1.28 yet.
Most CPU apps don't work on the One X, tried some of them but CPU Spy still shows higher frequencies been used despite underclocking.
i really want to play games (like fruit ninja,temple run, angry birds) and i thnk those games doesnt need that power to run properly..
any way to underclock or undercore(will be available?) so not much battery drains when playing?

Not yet they aren't. For the HOX only the bootloader-unlocking is available at this time.

Try to install the app called tegrastats and you will see that while playing those light games, either 1 or 2 cpus are shut off or the frequency is dropped. That's the power of this socket, it will automatically adjust to the task at hand.
I agree, however, that there is a lot of room for improvement but that will hopefully be fixed when developers can work on a custom kernel.
is not possible make underclock yet?
Hi guys!
This One X is very performing smartphone, games are really pretty... But I can stand that battery problem! I've tried so many rom, using setcpu for ondemand governor of the Tegra3... But I still not have so many battery life!
Can you guys suggest how rom, kernel or something else can save my battery?
Generic suggestions about this problem... Now I'm using Jdroid exodized 3.0.3 with bricked kernel v0.2, but battery is so draining... 63 % of battery with 1.37 hours of screen.. 4 h 22 min on it! =(
Hi!
I see a lot of people complaining about battery life, but if you take a look around you'll find the thread where people posted their battery usage. Me - I'm using rooted OneX running the stock ROM and am more than satisfied as far as battery life goes. I do 15 hours with ease. If I try to save it it usually lasts for more than 24 hours. Maybe you could try stock rom + root ... maybe a little underclock? I've been hearing underclock is quite the juice saver.
Hi,
I am the same I have tried custom Rom's but they claim to improve battery life but they just move the tegra 3 powersaving driver into the correct place!
I have a unlocked O2 HTC One X with O2 Rom and flashed battery fix and rooted the device!
Using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597227
I have managed to setup a shortcut using widgets on the screen to select how many cores I want to use. I find that using one core clocked at 1.5GHz is fast enough and I don't have much lag! This has helped my battery massively! This is because O2 still haven't pushed through the HTC updates yet!
And also using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630200
I flashed this using CMW and this has also helped.
I also find disabling some stock apps using App Managment in Settings, also using CPU spy from the Play Store and Battery Usage in settings. I can find the apps that use the most CPU power then uninstall or limit their usage (maybe using the internet instead of a dedicated app) this then has the phone stay in Deep Sleep for longer. I can easily get through 24hrs without having to try to save battery at all! I sometimes have almost got two days without charging!
Another tip is in the Usage app you can Restrict Background data over the network although when you connect to your WiFi it enables it again. Although it is meant to help save your Data it can also help your Battery Life.
Hope this helps!
Steven
Thanks for the answer!
I noticed that, in this Rom that I'm trying, I've the Screen that consume a lot of battery, even in the lowest brightness mode. Not using WiFi, 3g data, autosync, nothing, only a lot of text message received and sent. I think that this S-LCD2 consume a lot of battery or maybe the software of HTC, this time, is a loot poor of balance with this expensive hardware.
Do you think I can improve battery life with the tips that you said? I'm using this ROM right now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597778.
Setting CPU to ondemand governor 304 mhz min and 1.5 ghz doesn't help me? I must disable some cores? I can give it a try, hope that this tips can be made in this AOSP Senseless Rom.

I'm asking myself [ and you ] if this screen consume really a lot amount of battery... Or there is some problem with my one x... Reaching the 3+ hours screen on is a good result, but in a 15 h battery day life, I hope... Maybe I can reach disabling a couple of processors
Don't worry about the screen, it will always take a lot of power whatever you do! It isn't worth messing with it.
You don't need to mess with the CPU although personally it does make a diffrence to the battery, I don't notice it too unless I am gaming!
Maybe an app is preventing your phone from going to deep sleep whilst the screen is off
Try using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy&hl=en
If it says that your phone hasn't been in deep sleep, We need to try and find the culprit. Once you have done this maybe post back and I might be able to help you sort this out! It took me a while as I had this problem but it was definatly worth the effort!
Try looking in battery in the settings and see if there are any apps that are using a lot of power (maybe take a screen shot) and also try in Data Usage, there maybe apps using the Internet whilst you aren't using the phone. This also wastes the battery. If you restrict background usage (only on certain apps) it will only use the Internet in the background whilst you are connected to wifi only. Facebook is a good example!
Hope this helps
Steven
If you don't understand anything please say, I know my explanations are awful but I will try my best! I think I have changed everything here to fit your rom!
The rom itself although you or the developer know this but the overall system could be causing a problem! (just a theory!)

You're too fine with me steven, thanks!
I've downloaded Cpu Spy and it says that my one x has been in deep sleep for 70 % of time, so there is no problem with some apps doing something during screen off. My problem is that when I'm using all 4 cores, without internet via wifi or 3g, without autosync, nothing at all, and screen at lowest brightness, there is still a drastic battery drain while I'm using only Message app a lot. I don't wanna think that my HOX have a fault battery, but how can I test and prove it ? I don't know if there is a program, app or test for doing this thing.
Now I'm with that ROM Senseless AOSP ICS, I will try next charge with two cores actives only and view how much I can stay with that SetCpu settings. I'm using this settings: 101% Battery <, CPU Max 1Ghz to 51Mhz and priority 100, governor ondemand ; screen off, CPU Max 1Ghz to 200 mhz and priority 100, governor ondemand. I'll give you the result soon.
you need to give it time to settle the battery mate. i manage to go a day or two and have like 3 hours screen on time and that is with everything on. if you need any help send me a PM mate and i see what i can do to help you. and i would not use SetCpu for now i am using No-Frills. And switch from ondemand to Interactive. and that is with 1.5Ghz as max and 100mhz mininum

I agree that you should not use set CPU although you are best using ondemand as that is only using the amount of power you need, interactive keeps the speed high to increase the overall speed. (not good for battery life) also maybe, my mothers Samsung Galaxy S2 had battery problems and she got 6hrs of battery out of her phone at max, she always carried her charger around.
I calibrated the battery without using any software, I just fully charged the device and left video/audio/maps on to get rid of the battery as fast as I could and then fully charged the device. All I am trying to say is give this a shot (I did this when I first got my phone) she now gets on average 2days battery life! I know that it can take ages but it is defiantly worth the effort!
Hope this helps
Steven
Also, how do you find that ROM it looks great. I think I might try it!

In this Rom, The Jdroid Exodized, I can't try the HTC Battery Test. When I'm trying new one Rom with sense, I will keep in mind to do that.

I'm posting this because all the rom and kernel combinations out there are just lethal for my search ego.This is to tell u guys how i get my one x to move up a day and counting without telling me low battery and with somehow constant use.I'm using the viper x rom(other great roms but this is my personal best)and the faux kernel.(0verclocking latest faux kernel). Thats all.Also u'll like to disable battery percentage as it gets ur mentality off ur use and more on looking at it.
-My trick is i just plugged my phone to the charger at 7pm(low battery).Took it off at 10pm(even though it was full before then).Slept at 12.Woke up the next day till evening it lasted and then one day after in the morning 8am i got 50%.(not really heavy use,light gaming,browsing,opening apps.....).Very impressive.I could use it the whole day again and it will die at night around 7 for cycle to continue.
-This keeps u from overnight charge to 2 days charge and its pretty awesome.
Again u cant use ur one x as a ps3(vita) or gaming console or even an ipad browsing experience and expect it to last u.Sure u can browse but......u know the risk on battery or else get locked bootloader motorollas .
NB:When battery percentage is on u are off focus always thinking of the battery.Just leave a bare battery bar.
Thank if i helped and peace.Hope it works for u.
or flash CM10 which has good overall battery life.

Can you post some screen shots with screen on time and battery usage please?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
pretty simple what you guys need to do to get a good battery life.
1. make sure you remove auto brightness and set the brightness of the display to manual. so set your own brightness of the display.
2. only sync stuff that are important like emails or whatsapp.
3. if you do not use maps uninstall them as those can be battery drainers.
4. use the latest NCX kernel and use system tuner...use ondemand governor and sio/noop schedulers and keep the clock speeds at 1.2ghz and undervolt by 50 steps...
follow those steps and you should see an increase on your battery...i am using ICJ rom so if you want to go down that route your battery will increase... i always average 3hrs screen on time and battery lasts me a whole day
I know a not of people hate this feature, but I get amazing battery life with the new Power Saver feautere in JB, only disabling it when I'm gaming. The phone runs buttery smooth only having trouble when facing heavy multitasking in which cases I also disable the Power Saver.

Wow, some white-spaces and extra new lines wouldn't kill you, but would read much better.
But let's get to the point: What about your Wifi, 3G, GPS and Bluetooth usage??? And where's the screenshot of the usage when you click on the graph, the details screen?
when i want to use System Tuner or Android Tuner with the Faux or NCX Kernel the Phone is really unstable, setting the Max CPU Freq dont have an effect and the unervolting to -25 mv let´s freeze my Phone. Why ever :crying:
I use power saver mode on, lower auto brightness mod on latest ordroid and setcpu with a few profiles and I get around 24 hours with heavy use.
Not sure if setcpu has any effect??
I set the max freq to 1ghz unless I am playing a game.
Also set max freq to 640 when screen is off.
Does setcpu work under JB Roms??

Download CpuSpy and check the frequency's your phone is running at. If it shows over 1ghz then Setcpu hasn't worked

I use ViperX (JB) and get a decent battery life of 1-1,5 days, average Wi-Fi, bluetooth, gaming, surfing.
When navigating Google maps my device gets fairly hot to the touch.
I am running cyanogenmod nightly with greenify to keep background apps down
In the past CM was always better battery life and lower temps. Has this changed? How do I get the best battery life out of my device? Flash another kernel? Go back to stock? Do I have a hardware problem?
Also my battery does not report 4900 mah in battery apps when fully charged. Any idea about this?
Thanks in advance!

So I may have solved my problem. I think you're right Cyanogenmod might not have a good setting for this CPU. Idownloaded kernel auiditor and switched to power save mode and underclocked the CPU and now I am getting ridiculously good battery life!

Sorry guys been busy.
So I am still on CM 12.1 nightly and getting good battery life now. Below is what I found helps:
1. Underclock and change CPU governor. This tablet haa 4 codes I believe 1900 mhz each. This is really overkill for most tasks. Your preference may vary for responsiveness, but I have settled on around 300-500mhz per CPU for my purposes. If you play games you can set profiles and turn up the CPU for those games if you like.
2. Install xposed framework - this is kind of a prerequisite for amplify and greenify
3. Install and configure greenify - this makes your apps chill and not use too much battery
4. Install and configure amplify - manages your wake locks and alarms so as not to drain battery
5. Install , tweak gravity box how you like it.
I think the biggest difference for me is the underclocking .. My tablet doesn't get hot when navigating anymore. I really couldn't deal with that because I'm thinking about the battery inside getting fried with heat. The other programs just add bonus battery and memory
This is interesting. I had also been on CM 12.1 and it was working pretty smoothly except the tablet at times got too hot to hold in your hand. It was also completely useless as a daily driver s it gave me max 2hrs screen on time (instead of 6.5 hrs) and for some reason it would take half a day to recharge the battery. Overall, not really very usable. I am now back on stock and took forever to unload all the samsung junk, optimize wakelocks etc, covert to F2FS etc. It is working OK now, but still nowhere near as smooth as CM12.1 was running on it before. Too bad because I love this tablet especially the fact I can just put my second sim card in and make phone calls etc (T705)
Can you maybe share what sort of general battery life you are really getting with the setup your described?
Clocking the CPU down to a 1/4 of the normal maximum speed seems very drastic, is it at all usable after?
Thanks!
Hello all.
I was thinking if anyone here had a problem like mine or knows what to do.
I bought a LG G4 dual sim 818p last week.
the phone is great, but it has some problem that i think is software related, and i think is governor problem.
It has the latest android version avaible, original from lg.
the thing is that in standby it is great, i get 1% drain in 24 hours...
but if i use the phone just for web browsing or facebook it heats as hell, and i lose 1% batery in 3 minutes...
no gaming, no downloading and no SIM card in it.
Just drains as hell and gets to hot just for web browsing.
I also noticed with battery gsam analyser that if i use the phone it always puts the all processors on 100% speed and for me that is the problem and it has got to be a bug on the governor settings.
any ideas?
many thanks,
what can i do?

Hi,
many tanks for your reply.
I also did the same test with the sim cards inserted and the problem was the same.
Meanwhile I flashed the original rom version V20b (I had the V20f) and althou the problem is not gone, things have improved mery much.
I am now sure the problem is software related with the rom and the way it manages the cpu load and speed.
I am pretty much sure if developers of the original rom had more attention to cpu load vs cpu speed this phone could be awsome and have great battery life.
The thing is way does it need to have 6 cores running on full speed just for webbrowsing? It seems to me they dont know how to control the ammount of cpu cores and speed vs the load we put on it.
regards,

You can install V10 Lollipop and heatup problem will be resolved. MM has issues on 818 in terms of battery drain + heatup.
Even I am currently facing Battery drain Issues was thinking to switch to LP...!! But my LGUP does not detect my phone !!! (818N)
from my experience, i've already tried rolling back to a lot of different version of lollipop, v10k rooted+debloated, v10l rooted+debloated, camuix v3 (v10d base), camuix alpha test4 (v10e base), i love using xposed framework, and also i'm a user who loves installing things,it was about 400+ apps/games installed and guess what, it drains my battery 5-7% every 15 minutes without doing anything. and then i tried again using marsmallow, first, i install v20e, but i don't like the UI that much, so i flashed genisys system.img (v20c base) via download mode and disabling some bloatware via debloater. so after having v20c with genisys ui, i install every apps/games i had before 1 by 1, and now, there's about 428-433 apps/games on my phone. after day to day use, i don't really feel too much battery drain regarding a lot of apps/games i had. and also it will go overheat just when playing games or watching videos, it doesn't really overheat when browsing. and about the SOT, it can go up to 3-4 hours depending on network or gps uses, when i use my phone as turn by turn navigation, it can survive about 2.40-3.20 hours. actually, i do really miss every xposed framework i uses before, but i don't really feel so much different. because now in marsmallow, i can use my 128gb microsd as adoptable storage, a lot of CPU & GPU governor improvements, a lot of OOT improvements, a genisys theme, and by using such apps like floatify, fooview, appblock, and adguard, it just feel's like a rooted phone. and one last thing, now i can throw away any kernel or script modifier i've previously used, it was a really really hard time on optimizing this phone with that method, lolz. btw if u need some screenshot, i'll post it

well if you unlocked bootloader flahsing other kernels might have different governors some are foe performance some are more tame... yes i agree why use alot of cores when it can handle with one core or 2.. but thats how governors are some are in ondemand it goes from lowest cpu to highest cpu only if you open a pic.. its less lags but all that cores arent need it.. a governor like smartass v2 or intellimn will use less cores depending on what you are doing.
