hi guys
I downloaded the update but it wont install as im rooted. Does anyone know what the update was for and what it improves?
Also does anyone known if you can circumvent the root issue or is it a case of unrooting and installing

It's for battery improvement that's about it and yes you have to unroot not really worth it for that there's meant to be a big update soon i would wait

Oh really? Cool. Any source?
The real question is will it block root (the big update). Any update that removes root isn't worth it.

If you haven't updated think twice. here is my experience.
After the update my screen no longer goes to full brightness, the indicators and icons still say 100% however the screen has gone from 255 to 238 brightness at full. I think this is one of the ways they increased battery life
Note Lux and other brightness settings have not corrected the problem permanently.

They have increased battery life by having much better thermal controls i.e. the phone doesn't get as hot, one of the ways to keep the phone cool (and therefore indirectly increasing battery life) is to lower the brightness.
Keeping the phone cool was their main aim here, not to increase battery life.

Regardless of the reason my phone was perfect before this change and I had no heat issues or battery problems all was great, if you want to change options like this having an extra setting in the power menu would have been the way to go in my personal opinion.

Hi..... I just wanted to know if the rooted stock Rom has better battery life than the regular unrooted stock because the regular stock kills the battery really fast.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Rooting by itself doesn't do anything so...
No
i thought stock battery life was good. Maybe it is something running in the background that is killing your batter.
Being rooted you can remove a lot of bloatware to save battery life.

All superuser (root) is is a program designed to grant applications admin access to the device, rooting itself inpacts performance/stability in NO way whatsoever..
if you want better battery life, i recommend flashing a custom rom

which gives you access to remove bloatware... did you miss that part? If you strip down your phone and freeze/uninstall apps that ran in the background and/or used data when you don't want it to, then you will improve your battery life.
I think you fail to see what the OP was asking. it was about battery life, not performance or stability.
if you check the running applications and freeze the ones that run all day then ya better battery but obviously just rooting isnt gonna do it

Im with doug on this one, i think youre taking this too far. The op inquired if a STOCK rooted rom had beyyer battery life as opposed to a unrooted STOCK rom. As doug said, a rooted completely stock rom offers no battery life imprpvements on its own. Now performance to me is defined as the optimal battery life and efficiency of the device.

Darksides and Juggernaut are the pretty much stock with bloatware removed and some additional goodies which are super helpful such as the notification bar toggles. I'm currently using darksides and I'm seeing very good battery life on moderate use (2 hours display time at 50% brightness, 1 hour on Spotify streaming music and I'm down to 30% battery. Total uptime since last charge 13 hours 51 minutes.) Perhaps not the best battery life out there but it does the job for me. Also if you're gonna install either ROM, undervolt the cpu as well as underclocking it. It really doesn't affect the performance, its hardly noticeable actually.

Ah i see what you guys are getting at. Just misinterpretation of both parties. Yes rooting itself does nothing, but obviously something is killing the op's battery. I was trying to inform the benefits of having root and how it may improve his battery life by removing whatever is killing his phone.. However if it's from an app he uses then no help there.

If you want better battery life you can always try change the kernel first. You don't need to do pesky full wipes so you retain pretty much all your settings and stuff.
To start off, I think Faux's is pretty awesome.
You're not going to gain leaps and bounds in battery life until you find what is eating all that power on your phone. It is typically an app you installed, as I don't find the t-mobile pre-installed ones to be that horrible, except for lookout security. I think that'll be a big potential battery hog. OR it can simply be your screen brightness. The trick I find is to set it on the lowest setting and just be SOL when you're outside I mean heck, I really want that battery life!
You can always practice better battery saving techniques, like not leaving the wifi or wireless data on when not in use.
Hi,
I just got my HTC One X and I love it. The only downside to it so far is after leaving it on charge overnight im lucky if I get 5-6hrs out of it.
Im on the default OS and ive only installed some apps but im pretty much in the dark where to start.
Can anyone recommend the best rom to use or even just good apps or ways to make my battery life extend?
Thanks and again sorry if this is a noob question.
Have you updated your device with all the official updates? Have you disabled fast-boot, auto-brightness, satellite-GPS and all other wireless options that you don't need and opted for a 30-40% luminance rating (screen remains legible) in Settings? The operating time you get, as stated of 5-6 hrs seems pretty low. I get at least double that with intensive usage, and I mean it, THD Games! Keep in mind however that the screen of HTC ONE X, REALLY, IS the most power-demanding component of our smartphone and there isn't much that can be done about it.
As to your question, Villain rom is considered by many to be battery-friendly although pretty basic. In addition and if you have a rooted/unlocked device (I still haven't rooted mine because I'm perfectly satisfied with it for now), you can also give a try to the SetCore app that can be found i the Apps section of the HOX forum and as its name implied it allows you to control and deactivate cores at will. Also try out the well-known SetCPU app to underclock the processor and get more life from it.
Although, if you've purchased your phone recently, you may simply have to charge some more to condition the battery and then it will get to normal levels, of ~12-15hrs of serious usage.
first of all you do not need a rom that is based on battery life..all roms are the same with just few different modifications to it. choose a rom that YOU like and not based on what other people tell you. Then you can do a few things to get better battery life. as the poster above me stated you can do what he mentioned..but i still with autosync on, GPS on and autobrightness i can manage to get over 3hrs screen on time and over a day and a half battery life. Go into settings and sound and untick touch keypad sounds and lockscreen sound and dialpad sounds...come out and reboot the phone..you might think why but trust me that causes drainage to the battery and keeps the phone wake when the screen is off. second if you use twitter and facebook i would suggest to use them only when you log in..do not have it on in the background. if you still need more help PM if you like
but search for Touch Xtreme rom by Smarberg...that is a good rom based on battery more than anything else.

Im sure all the official updates are done. I use wifi in house and 3g when outdoors. Ive got bluetooth and gps disabled and as of now my screen is off automatic. Ill keep charging like you say to condition the battery but can you overcharge it?
I'm on stock and my battery seems to be OK.
The multitasking on another hand is shockingly bad.
Please someone give me aokp or cm9

I fixed multitasking with an init.d script that lowers the low memory killer values. All the apps stay in memory now without closing... like they are supposed to.
Some say HTC set the values so high to save battery, but that is crap. No power is used when the app is held in memory, infact less is used as the apps aren't constantly being opened closed and reloaded. I think they just messed up.

Is there an app or way that conserves the battery power. The phone is still completely stock but it received a firmware update through Tmobile and ever since then the battery gets drained by 4 pm (after all apps are x-ed out and phone is just in standby) the batter drops to around 30 percent... what can I do? I don't think it needs a new battery since its only a few months old... suggestions?

I dont know how much you use your phone and weather or not you watch movies or download files with Wi-Fi alot but it could seriously drain your battery if you leave things like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, Brightness Up, or use live wallpapers.
If not, I would recommend checking your battery against someone elses because I've had a phone before that had a bad battery that could explode and caused me to have battery issues. Make sure your battery isnt swollen at all and if it is make sure you take it out and dont put it back in and go to a Battery+ store nearby and I'm sure they got one for your phone (they come with warranty).
Well my wife and I have the same phone and it does it to both. I don't have signal in my job since they have a Verizon antenna and it blocks our t mobile signal so I don't use it during the day which means the phone is just on stand by for the first eight hours. I make sure I turn off wifi, blue tooth, GPS etc and close all apps....but by the time I get out of work it's at 30-40% power.... both phones were bought this April so was hoping it wasn't/isn't a hardware issue and have to replace the batteries....

This is where the world of rooting and tweaking your android becomes extremely attractive.
There are ROMs that last 1 day + ( that's 24h+ hours of battery)
Only need two things....
1. Patience - to sit, read and closely follow instructions
2. Guts - to take a dive and risk ruining your phone. (Which doesn't happen if you have number 1)

1. juice defender is a start.
The rest all needs rooting really.
2. Build.prop tweaks
3. UV with a custom kernel
4. Lowest screen brightness (doesn't require root)
5. Restrict yourself to 2G networks either using AOKP settings or a build.prop tweak
There are others but this is how I achieve great battery times mostly.

Why not try and find out what is using your battery up first? Try GSAM from the play store, its free for one, easy to use, it will show you what is draining your battery, there are a few paid ones as well, but try the free first , HERE is the direct link to GSAM.
or QR code, just scan it with phone.

That is a very weird situation and try a app that shows the apps using battery. Even check the stock android battery section in settings and see whats getting used. Your brightness should be first since it can really eat your battery if its turned up. I dont think its defective since both your phones are having the same problem but both my parents have the 4.0.4 firmware installed on their T989's without a problem and get decent battery power. I however am using a custom rom with kernel. Did you use the same battery for each phone? or each phone has the same problem with their own devices and their own batteries when getting updated to 4.0.4? If you used your battery on her's I'm assuming the problem may be the battery and you just got unlucky with a defective one.
P.S. I'm assuming 4.0.4 because thats the latest update to ICS for the T989 on T-Mobile.
The battery manager that comes with the phone identifies the display, but I've set it to lowest setting and have a dark background. And yeah both phones have their respective batteries which makes me think it's a software issue.. We just upgraded to the 2.3.6 ( I guess t-mobile is a but behind lol). But I going to try the juice defender tomorrow... It's just while I root the phone and get a custom ROM... (doing my homework before doing anything since it'll be first time)
Sent from my SGH-T989
Those apps wont really help, it basically does what you can do manually, turning off settings or putting them at low usage. Rooting is the way to go, its rather simple, once you do it, you will have wished you done it sooner. Trust me, I was in the same boat, I had just got my phone last december, the wife and I were in Vegas and my battery was horrible, I was taking lots of pictures and video, but my battery was dying. I had no way to charge it til we got back to the hotel, next day was same thing, horrible battery, this was all before ICS even was around for this device. When I got back home, I rooted my phone, to date, I have gotten a best 44 hours out of the phone. I ROM hop so I try out the variety, there is how to's and videos here and youtube, you will kick youself on how easy it truly is to root and flash. GSAM will show you in more detail what is using your battery the most, good luck with whatever you choose to do. There are many people here who can help you along the way, thats what this site is for.
Juice Defender will help a ton with you're screen being off for extended periods of time. Normally without it, I lose 30% at work without touching it. Today, I have lost 6%. The margin won't always be like that but it's a sizeable difference. Also, I have an app monitor application you can use to track rogue apps. There is also this app called Autostarts where you can disable an app from opening and it's really useful for apps that you don't need running in the background. Turning off auto sync will help as well IF you are okay with not getting every email in 5 minutes.

Believe me I'm the last person who will complain about battery backup or create a topic about it, but yet I'm doing it! Seriously, Samsung helped us to be greedy, with awesome battery backup on 4.1.1 ROM, and now they took it away! It really doesn't matter whether you agree or not, 4.1.2 does drain battery much much faster than 4.1.1 ROM. I mean why? Why on earth you gave us that great backup at first and then took it back?
I really don't wanna go back to to a previous version, but I think I'll ultimately have to do that. Honestly I don't see any improvements in 4.1.2, other than that volume key photo taking option in 4.1.2, and of course that SDS fix.
Anyone from Samsung seeing this? What would you say? Why this sudden change of mind? Have any answers to that?

Dude, you're complaining with 1d 19h runtime and 6h screen on? I could never, ever get that out of my N2, no matter what version, kernel, tweak or what not... There seems to be a huge manufacturing tolerance in quality of battery or whatever else. So I just simply stopped worrying about it, charging the thing overnight and just got 2 spare batteries & additional charger for € 20. My peace of mind is worth that
Why don't you want to go back to 4.1.1 if the update has hardly brought any improvement?

Not being funny but knowing that you're getting much less battery after the update does play on the mind and it is clearly a software issue which we shouldn't have to endure.
Unlike many on here, the one and only reason I got the note over the s3 was battery life. I would rather much save a couple hundred and have a more comfortable phone to hold in the s3 if I knew the battery life would get messed uo after a software update.
I also don't want to carry seperate batteries around and swap out. If I did, I would have stuck with HTC to be honest.
I just want the immense battery life of 4.1.1 back but without sacrificing new features like the browser text reflow.

Well when I compare battery life I do it with my own results. It's completely invalid to compare one's backup with others as usage pattern is different most times.
So, on 4.1.1 I got 9 hours screen on time, half dozen times, on 4.1.2 it touched 8 hours once! This is just bad.

Totally and completely agree with you, and that was my point.
Either this is a game by Samsung, to level down us to S3 users, or they are simply unable or ignorant to maintain the continuity of a good thing.
The thing is, technically Note 2's battery backup was right, because on S2 we used to have 4 to 4½ hours screen on time, and that was a 1650 mAh battery, so it's almost doubled on Note 2, so it's basically normal to have 8 hours screen on, nothing ultra ordinary I'd say, but I can say what we are getting now is just BAD.

I have to agree completely with OP. I have been only using the stock samsung roms & i too find the battery life to be worse on 4.1.2 XXDMB2 (by approx. 10-15 %) compared to 4.1.1 roms. Although, i like everything else about the latest 4.1.2 better .
How much "miscellaneous" battery drain is normal after google fixed the lollipop bug?
I've read about the initial bug in lollipop causing high battery drain under the entry "miscellaneous". I'm using a 5.0.2 rom (as far as I've understood from the information about it) so the bug should be fixed. Yet I'm seeing quite some battery drain going to this "miscelanous" entry. Right now it's 9%, screen is first at 10% but I still feel 9% sounds like quite a lot or is this correct? What's "normal" here?

What bothers me is that we do not know if this is "rediscovered" battery use that previously just wasn't reported, or if it's a new drain coming with lollipop. I like lollipop but there are quite a few things about the code that has me concerned.

I dont think its the same bug. The Miscellaneous Drain encompases many things that run in the background that don't have their own status group in the battery stats. Usually, they are small drains compared to the screen, apps etc... it will be hard to determine whats causing it, unless you are a developer i think. Still the battery life isnt bad, so not really bothering me too much.

I had some battery issues coming to lollipop as compared to kitkat so I guess that made me more doubtful. On my device misc always use up about as much as the screen which sounds like a whole lot that the cell has no idea where it went.
did you have it after flashing? or is it always there?
it only appears for me after using TWRP.

I'm not sure as I started flashing pretty much the first thing I did with the LG G3 that is affected by it. Do you think TWRP itself is to blame or rather an incompatibility with custom roms? I've not flashed stock to compare, but I could check my wifes phone, she is stock wout any root or hacking.
