Hi I've just recently decided to swap my xperia ray for a second hand HTC one x and unfortunately the battery life is horrid, under 4 hours and the battery is below half. 3g is on 24/7 and I didn't browse the internet for even a second , only text and call and I can't believe it, seriously considering taking this back unless somebody can convince me otherwise. All I use is the internet and calls and texts, and if it can't even handle those , then how am I going to be able to use the internet ..

are u using a custom rom ...? if not then say which base it is...3.14 oder 2.17 ...
You might try searching the forum, there are LOTs of battery related threads.
Install BetterBatteryStats (search here for it and how to use it), and check wakelocks and partial wakelocks, should tell you what is preventing the phone from entering deep sleep.
i like the battery life of my phone very much but also think, when you are using a custom rom, the rom and the kernel need to settle and i think, this take a time.. try one and give it 1-2 days, until you see the real battery draining
Came from Xperia arc myself, but wasn't expecting tremendous battery life, tbh. That said, there's virtually no drain in screen off on any stock based rom, so it evens out. Haven't tried aokp, cm10 or miui due to the pretty horrific battery life on the arc with them.

mine hox have nearly 1 year, but no better or worse battery performance. max 1 day :crying:
the battery life of the htc one x is an enigma to me (no other word can do justice to how much confusion it's causing)....I understand everyone uses their phone differently but the battery life shouldn't be all over the place as it is. My battery is lasting between 24 and 48 hours regularly with normal use i.e. normal everyday use on my one x, calls texts, camera, finding a place on maps while lost etc etc
screenshots attached.
I understand a lot of the problems are being caused by the phone not going into deep sleep. One of the ones I pinned it down to was if you go into Maps and check the location settings through there...i've turned them all off (and i still get correct google now information).
If someone wants to try that and then let us know what its like then that'd help everyone.

well not quite sure what you're doing with your phone - in that image, your mobile signal is only on for about half of the total time? did you have it in airplane mode or something?
my battery is pretty terrible - actually shocking the past few days. I can't even get through a full work day without it being down to <30%, which is only 9 hours or so. I've had power saver turned on all the time, too. I use it a bit for texts during the day and that's about it - no heavy data use. so I have no idea what's sapping it so heavily. it's quite bizarre. even if I try to micro-manage my data by turning it on only when I need it, I still get down to 40%.
this is on a stock ROM by the way. considering changing to a lighter weight custom ROM to see if that helps, as this is just ridiculous!

im getting same type of drain also. i made a thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2090024&highlight=+q+battery+life
idk if this is normal or not cause its new. also im coming from 2 hr battery drain on g2x so idk what is normal nowadays
-----------
actuallyi just glanced at ur screen shot and for u it might be the mobile radio. It seems like ur signal is spotty for most of the time. this drains battery like no other when trying to find a good signal this goes with wifi too
HOX's battery live was terrible at first. (ICS & Old kernel)
Now it seems that it has reached its max capability. It saves the day, but it would be great, if the battery had been 2100 mah. :angel:

How much was your screen on time tho? I could just leave my phone doing nothing and have over 1day battery.
@op you could try the battery calibration. Charge phone till green light, once fully charged unplug and switch off the phone and charge again till green light now switch on and use phone.
You should now have better battery.

its not posible to calibrate a xperia s(L) battery , it auto calibrates, if you use battery calibaration apps, it just deletes a important file, (which may have ruined your battery)
i suggest keep letting your battery go to 0% then charing to 100% , the battery will calbrate its self

Its hard to know what can be the problem.you should try uninstalling greenify and observe the change.I observed without greenify phone usage is more but with greenify standby is more(thats what I need)

It might not be an issue; when you turned off your screen, battery was being eaten away and when the screen is turned on it shows the change at that time. Similar stuff happens to the clock.
If you have messed with any system files I suggest you perform a factory reset.

remove grenify.i noticed its a battery hog,instead of increasing battery life it kills battery life :fingers-crossed: i noticed the wakelocks and cpu awake less without greenify (nearly 0%).with greenify 10% per hour,without greenify 3% drain per hour,with same use.try it bro
Edit : Battery is now fine on the phone for me ..
it seems like the phoen (stock kernel /rom) doesnt go to sleep as well as it should ..
here is the original post ..
Never inserted sim card on mine .. installed all my apps..
That's it... Over night it lost 30 percent..
At 9 am it was at 70%..
At 4 pm phone was 0.. turned off...
I did nothing.. The phone had screen off all day never used it once.. It was in my car ... nobody touched it..
I'll give it another chance tomorrow but if that's the battery life to be expected I'm returning this bad boy.. Please share your stats...

I get great battery life. A little better then my note2. How you been man, its been forever.
I'm getting insane battery life compared to my Galaxy S3. Took my phone off the charger at 8:20 AM. Email syncing with Gmail and an exchange account. I left LTE on all day. Downloaded some apps and an audio book. Listed to an audiobook during lunch and several hours this evening.
My battery life has improved significantly since yesterday. Google services killed me, but has calmed down. When all day, 12+ hours, pandora, gps, and 4 hours of screen time still had about 40%.

return it.. get a new one.
Might want to check for partial wake locks as well. Had a few apps on my Note II that kept it from sleeping with the screen off. That will eat battery constantly. If so, either dump the app or root and use greenify.

Just a tip for anyone getting "okay" to back battery life. If you go into wife settings and turn off location something that helps and if you go into maps settings and turn of report location services that does wonders. I was getting about 4 hrs sot which isn't terrible but it isn't wowing lol so I did that and in the last few hours I've added another hour of sot and the % went down about 6 which is just a massive difference and trust me I use my phone lol not just reading I'm dual screening working and typing and what not. So that may help.

Download DS Battery Saver. It puts your phone into a deep sleep and shuts everything off and wakes your phone at desired intervals, therefore you don't have apps constantly waking your device for requests which put a strain on your battery life. Give it a try, you'll love it. It's especially useful if you're working or something and you don't need your phone as much.

stock or cm or aosp rom?
Stock 4.1.2
i didn't have that on stock only on cm and aosp
Heeeeey I started to notice this on my stock rom 4.1.2 yesterday after reading your thread :| But you can be sure that it's not a problem since I've bought my g last week so it can't be because of your battery age. It's natural. I think it's impossible to show the correct and exact battery percentage in any OS. To test, you can let your battery discharge to the end and you'll see that the end is sometimes 3 percent (the device goes off when it has 3 percent or more left) and sometimes you get 0 percent but the device is on Maybe that's why percentage is off by default.

What's the top in battery usage? Sounds like you're getting network issues (low/lost signal and such). Should probably make sure your APNs are perfectly matching your carrier's.
Also, what is your usual screen on time?

Try to check your network signals...
Try switching from 4g to 3g or wcdma
Also check wifi signals and that APN which is mentioned earlier,
Then try to hard reset your phone.

And nothing other than screen is burning it. So it can be 2 things: bad battery or it needs a factory reset.

If it's not system, it's your battery. You could try flashing the stock kdz (it wipes everything, internal memory included so backup)

Hence why I think it's a problem with the battery. But it's possible that it's a system problem that only flashing stock would fix. It's a shot in the dark though.

Not sure what looks weird in there. Battery drain will change depending on what wakelocks you get.
