[Q] Another battery problem - HTC One X

Hello everyone, I have bought htc one x not so long ago and noticed a problem (or maybe it is normal?) that battery drops like crazy when in use. Phone is on stock sense 5 rom (android 4.2.2) and not rooted. The problem is that it dishcharges in crazelly fast, sometimes not one by one % but like 3-4 % instantly down, when using. And there is not much difference between playing or surfing (with wi-fi or just on mobile network). Another thing that i've noticed, that it does not charge fully, battery calibration app on 100% shows 4183mV most, as I know there should be 4200mV. When phone is on sleep, battery holds perfectly, only 2-4% down after night. Just writting this battery went down from 35% to 22%
Thanks for replies.

Have you try a full reset? It may be due to some apps that's causing the issue

Yep, I've done full reset and it's still the same.
Edit: added some screenshots from battery stats.

Install gsam or wakelockdetector and check the wakelocks

I use normal home screen. And wakelocks aren't a problem, as I said, phone holds perfectly when in sleep. The problem is when it's under load, even not too big, battery just drops by few % instantly (as you can see from using stats, it drops like a brik).

did you have 3g connection always on?
because it drain lot of battery.
during stanby time the battery go down butthe % is not updated and when you use it, the battery drop on the right value
try using juice defender and set the automatic on/off for 3g each 10/15 min...instead af always on

So the problem is, that after the sleep battery's percentage is refreshed only after some use? Well, that's quite logical. But still, I was left very unsatisfied by the performance of battery And as I know, juice defender just turns data connection off, it doesn't change network connection from 3g to 2g and vice versa.

right but better than nothing use wifi when you can, the difference of power consumptin with respect 3g is huge

I leave data on the whole day and i barely drop till 80% with a standby of 16hrs

Try seeing whether wakelock is an issue or not. I've encountered drastic wakelocks that eats up my battery within 10hrs of standby time even on sense rom so I really hope that you''ll take a look

Does "mediaserver" process always runs when music player is on?
Edit: added battery stats again. Is this a normal battery use?
And despite charging to 100%, now statistics show that at the start it wasn't charged fully. And again, just editing this post battery dropped by 5%

3% battery drain every 5 min. normal?

I know this is another battery topic, but specifically I am getting a drain of about 3% every 5 minutes while browsing the web on data. I am getting this drain at both 50% and 20% brightness. This drain seems high to me. I mean, during that 5 minutes, I am mostly just browsing one long page, so there is not much data activity going on in any case. Bluetooth, gps, and wifi are all off. I would like to hear other folks' experience.
Edit: my old hd2 with a small 1250 battery is running android and is only losing 1% every five minutes while doing the same thing!!
Possibly. Screen white or black factor. Type and speed of connection. Background processes. Battery temp. But that is a little higher.

If your on LTE that's your problem. Try to use wifi as much as possible.

Same for me. I'm not on LTE, I'm on 3g in Sweden. Just tried it myself and it drained 3% in 5 min of surfing with the stock browser.
And 2% more while writing this reply, that took 2 minutes.

I went out to do some Boxing Day shopping in the morning and used the phone quite a lot. Came back with 48% battery about 2 hours ago, haven't used the phone since and it still has 48% battery lol.

Your not supposed to use it, just keep it in your pocket.
Its probably down to bad battery calibration. This is a lot less to do with 'conditioning' the battery - which you don't need on Lithium based batteries - and more to do with Android understanding what level is 100%, 99%, 98% 50% and 0% etc.
Until you've been through a few real cycles from full to empty, the % is pretty inaccurate. Most people recharge at around 20 to 40% just because a charger is near by or its bed time, and that usually results in the levels being even more inaccurate at the higher end.
For example my battery will drop from 100% to 70% very quickly, the next 30% even slower and the last 40% seems to last forever :/
If you're rooted wipe your battery stats, do a full charge and let it drain to 0. The type of usage probably isn't that important, so play a game for 4 hours if you want . If you're not rooted, doing the same will still help make it more accurate, but of course previous usage will mess with those results.
---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------
EDIT: In fact try this.. turn off the screen timeout temporarily, and leave it on the web page. Check the % every 5 minutes and keep a note of them. You should see that its not 3% over 5 minutes once you get past the first 10 to 20% of the battery.
Here is my overnight battery drain test. My phone was idle the whole time. Only on 2G mode and no wifi, no gps and no bluetooth.

Silly GSM users commenting on LTE device. tsk tsk... they just don't understand the immense power + battery drain of LTE.
LTE drains battery much much faster then GSM/3G. That's how it is on ALL LTE phones & the fact that the GN also has the biggest screen helps rape the battery. Sadly, what you are experiencing is normal for LTE. Im on my 2nd Nexus & calibrated both of the ones i had. Same exact issue as you and regardless of what apps/settings you adjust/disable, it's not going to help with battery much at all unless you turn off "mobile data"/LTE(or go into airplane mode).
When i have LTE on and am actually using the phone it seems like it's going through 1% battery every 1-2 minutes.... yet if i turn "mobile data" off it goes through 1% every 8 - 10 minutes instead. oh and all you weirdo "look how long my battery lasted NOT using my phone!" freaks... if i activate "airplane mode" & turn off the screen the battery will last 2 days. wee!!.. (why even have a phone lol)

I had both the LTE and GSM models. While both are terrible on battery, they lasted about the same. I did have the extended battery in the LTE, so I take that in consideration when saying they lasted about the same. No huge difference on the LTE.

Battery Stats Thread

So I was wondering if anyone who has their device already could post some screenshots of their battery usage, screen time etc?
I know there have been some thrown around numerous thread but just thought it would be useful if people would post in one place?
Thanks
just wanna share some battery life stats..
1st power up of the phone.. did a full charge with phone off, once charging light changed to green, i powered up the phone.. 1st thing i notice.. it is not fully charged to 100%..
next thing to take note, the entire duration the phone is on is an additional hr plus.. i rebooted the phone once so im not sure what is the actual duration the phone is powered by the battery..
all in all, about 3hr+ with high usage of the phone.. notice how the phone was awake most of the time and the screen was on most of the time too..
cheers..

Only if this phone had some decent battery packed in, as in the Note, I'd have grabbed it. Why HTC why ?

Whats your screen on time?
1st post so I hope it's helpful.
I'm a big fan of the phone & love it, there are a few small issues I've noticed & I'll post these in the relevant thread.
People keep saying the battery life is dreadful but it doesn't seem much worse than my original Desire on similar use.
After the first full charge last night I plugged in the charger when the warning came on at 9%:
11 hours 2 minutes on battery, screen used 75% of the power while on for 4 hours 31 minutes.
Everything else used a few % each.
Brightness was on auto at approx 50% most of the time and on full for about half an hour; indoors I wouldn't want it as bright as that.
F/W 1.26.401.2

Hi
Thinking about this phone or the one s. Just a quick q regarding the documented poor battery. Could i go out for the day - say for 15/16 hours send the occasional texts maybe a couple of photos/videos and the occasionally browsing the web - to check football scores etc etc.. should this handle that ok ?
is a pocket charger the way to go ?

That's how I intend to use the phone tomorrow, so i'll soon let you know.
The thing with this phone that is superb, there is hardly any drain when your not using it. It's extremely good for idle power saving.
dunno about you guys but i'm getting insane numbers in standby...
overnight i lose 1% with wifi, data and autos-sync on....
it's the first android phone that sleeps properly when screen is off...there's nothing keeping it awake.
i'm on 1.26 by the way
Well I don't think it's that bad on battery given how much screen time i've had....three and a half hours.
Only got 2% left so going to put it back on charge. These are my final stats for my first day after a 13hour charge

Update 1.28 and Battery Life

Hi everyone,
I received the OTA update 1.28 yesterday (the Netherlands). My most important issue before I installed the update, was the battery life; the relatively high usage of the 'screen' in particular.
A preliminary report about update 1.27/1.28 said the battery life would improve drastically, showing screenshots of how little the 'screen'-usage was. Well, in my case the opposite happened; the battery life actually became worse. I think my max screen-on time is about 0,5h - 1h less than it used to be.
Here are some images of my battery usage. As you can see, it's running for 7h 34m now, and it's already hitting the 48%. My screen-on time being only 1h 9m. Didn't do anything power-consuming today as you can see; a little bit of whatsapping, browsing, etc. I propably won't even get 2 hours of screen-time:S

For those who already received the OTA; how is your experience with the battery life? Did it become worse as well?
Same here. For what's it's worth, it might even have gotten worse...
How can you comment on the update after 24hrs usage?? Give it a week and a few charge cycles and then see how it goes. Or, better yet, factory reset the phone and add apps one at a time - it could be a poorly coded app causing the issues

Well, the fact my battery life became worse could be due to a miscallibrated battery, in which case a complete discharge and full charge (or stats reset) might improve the battery life. If a poorly coded app caused the issue, the app would probably show up in the battery usage list.
That being true or not, the battery life will probably not increase compared to 1.26, because the screen is using a lot of power, relatively speaking (more than half of the battery life is being drained by the screen). I expected this 'problem' to be solved after the update, but I guess the screen (and GPU?) are just very power-hungry.
The OTA update didnt really impact battery life (still crappy )... Im now running ARHD rom and the battery life is a lot better!!
Custom ROMs seem to be the way forward for now.

Theres an app on the market called Power Tune-Up. Use it to see which apps are power hungry. On my Desire, i have found that some apps have a very serious impact on battery life.

2 hours on battery today and I have only put it down for a quick 10 minute lunch and (1hr 40 screen time) and i have only lost 13% battery! Not bad eh?
I've been off the battery for about 3 and a half hours and last time I looked, about ten minutes ago... it was on 90% battery... for over an hour I've been listening to music as well on it.
Though, my battery life was not actually that bad on 1.26 either, but for the moment I have no complaints about 1.28... even though the spare core might not be working properly yet for background tasks... so I can only hope that battery life will actually improve with time!

1h 40 screen time and you only lost 13% battery? So you have 87% left? That would mean you can get around 12-13 hours screen time!? :what: Post some screenshots please with screen time, overall usage and brightness settings.

Been calling, mailing, texting, some browsing and syncing offline playlists from Spotify.
Running 1.28 OTA, non root, HT23 model.
The one thing I do experience from time to time, is backlight flickering. It just seems to come and go.

With 1.26 I have great battery life.
With 1.28 it's the same,great.

Few phone calls,browser,and hours of listening to music.
Not bad at all.
I have a great HOX.

Damaged battery?

Hi guys, I'm a happy Nexus 5X owner, except for one thing: battery autonomy.
I had a true hope that Nougat would change my perception, but I got no improvement at all. After that I tried ElementalX kernel running every profile, including the newest GlassFish 1.2 and HawkTail 1.2. I also use Greenify and don't have facebook app installed.
I unplug my phone everyday at 7:30 AM and it can't get past 2:00 PM. My use is *only* web browsing (chrome) and whatsapp. Nothing like youtube, netflix, gaming or listening to music. I get only 2h30 SOT.
I've been using this charger for about 4 months: http://www.gearbest.com/chargers-cables/pp_350509.html
My question is: could my battery have been damaged?
Thanks!
Probably just the usual combination of Usage, Settings and Signal. We could only guess without some screenshots though, there's a battery life thread in General where you can post them and get advice.
The one thing I can suggest to evryeveryoneone is to use Developer Options > Running services and see which of your 3rd party apps are running 24/7 in the background. These are using your phones resources even if you never launch the app.
Nothing special is needed to get good battery life on this device, I typically see 5-6 hours SoT over 24-48 hours with stock 7.0. No root or loss of features.

Honestly, whats your brightness? Do you use bluetooth? Is NFC turned on? Location? Are you running 2G/3G or LTE? WIFI? Do you have wakelocks? I can make my nexus have 3 hours SoT ober a day also. But I can also make it have 5. Its all usage dude, unless you see a lot of heat, or drops of 5% over 5 mins, id say you battery is fine. Maybe its just the charger that doesnt fill it right? Why do you use that charger?

I use auto-brightness (usually 50%). No bluetooth, no NFC, location battery-saving. I run half time 3G, half time WiFi. I use this cheap charger at work. The original I use at home. My wakelocks from yesterday are the following:

Thats actually normal considering you have auto brightness and half the time on 3g. However, your whatsapp usage is huge. Try running withouth it for a day. And do you really need location? How is your signal strength?

Auto brightness consumes that much power? What's your recommendation?
Signal strength is always strong. I'm turning off location from now on.

Hell yea. If you have it on 50% and use your phone anywhere outside or somwhere where the phone determines that you cant see it clearly, it will crank up the brightness, and that consumes a lot of battery. Try running it on 10-15% manual mode inside, and 20-25% outside or more if you really cant see, but keep the brightness mostly to 25%. The screen consumes a lot and plus 3g, no wonder you have such bad battery life :/ On 10% brightness, you can pull off 4 hours for sure. At least I can

Thanks! I'll try it for a couple Days and report it here!

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the OnePlus 3T's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I think MM is good in general, but so far so good. I only lose 1 to 3% overnight.
I have plenty of battery drain overnight, mostly the Android system, Android OS and Google services.
I've had the phone for 2 days now and overnight battery drain is around 5%, but the real problem is that Android System takes up around 30% of my battery.
in 8h night (standby) i get 1-2% drain.
wifi, sync enabled.
if you get major drain, then its something on your setup causing it.
its always like that. (except something is broken on hardware side)
OxygenOS 3.5.1. - 1-2% battery drain;
OxygenOS 3.5.3. - 0% battery drain (in one scenario phone was left to [email protected]% (took off the charger and it drained 0% in 4 hour sleep period and in the other scenario the phone was left @53% to sleep and it drained 0% in 8 hour sleep period)
more info can be found here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/battery-life-sd821-400mah-t3505786
My experience is that the phone is better than average for sleep drain, just ~1-2 % with stock kernel. With Tyranus kernel v12 by @mdalexca, I'm not seeing any drain overnight at all. Battery life on medium usage looks to be a few days at least. (Yeah, I'm a light user aside from my first week with a new phone where I nearly wear it out ;)
Using Nova Launcher ...experiencing battery drain 3~4% overnight (5-7 hours) with WiFi off. But during the day, WiFi on, not even touching phone and it goes down 10% in an hour and a half. Battery reports Android System as the culprit. Any suggestions guys?

Turn off Android System.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
I got pretty good standby last night. Some nights don't give me near as good standby, so it's quite inconsistent.

Hows your deep sleep, working ok? Even if it shows Android system, it could be some app which isnt working correctly.
I got someone here with one plus 3 non t version (I got t, same problem like you) and is just flashed Chinese version of one plus 3 on his phone and zero drain but bare in mind the Chinese version doesn't got Google services at all , no play store and stuff , is saying is got more juice now , but I am just thinking you will need to install Google services for YouTube and stuff . Hmmm just saying Google battery hog .
For now I am waiting for developers to receive their phone . I just can't wait for many custom ROMs
using stock Oxygen with BT/Wifi on, 2 push accounts with 4-5% drain overnight

How do I check the deep sleep? I just went back to the shop and idk what they did but they said they ran a software check(?) And asked me to try the phone again for a day. Surprisingly overnight with wifi off only went down 1℅ (but this was on oneplus launcher) but then during the day it drained as fast as previous. But now the batt reports show first Android OS, Cell standby and then Android system....

I'm not sure is it possible to check it without the root, but if you are rooted, then BetterBatteryStats is quite handy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&hl=en

Yeah that apps requires root...thanks anyway
I have the MBA bug. I see a lot of people avoid it by staying on WiFi but I can't. Result is rapid battery drain.
I'm still getting reasonable battery though if I remember to toggle airplane mode. Device sleeps well enough. Almost perfect awake to screen on ratio.

Looks like OnePlus isn't bothered to fix this bug.

why don't you disable wifi/bt scanning and disable facebook/messenger notificationn?
oneplus is actually well optimized and drain is about 4% overnight

Wifi scanning and bluetooth is already disabled, and facebook isn't installed. This same issue exists in Oneplus 3 and Oneplus is not bothered to fix it.
