"There will be no specific updates coming for the HTC One X to improve battery"
...say HTC.
It can all be found here at techradar.phones
Well what do you guys think? Are you satisfied by the battery considering the HOX's demanding setup? Mine lasts around ten hours with moderate to heavy use. Which is similar to my last phone, the SGS i9000. I found this quite acceptable.
HTC are a very reputable company, and often listen to their consumers (hence HTCdev). Is this latest move a shy away from that?
Would be great to hear everyones thoughts.
then...time to wait for mugen

I'm not having an high end smartphone to constantly be in battery problems.
I consider the battery usage as a real annoying problem with no option to buy extra batteries.
Who buys a smartphone to use as less as possible???
Sent from my HTC One X
Happy here with battery life of One X, battery is even better than it was in SGS2. For me at least. Around ~36h battery time while SGS2 ~30 hours when I was using it.
Gawwd why do people expect something with the resolution of a tv, and the same amount of cores of a high end pc, to not take much battery? I think its a bloody miracle these smartphones last longer than 5 minutes! As I've said before, you wouldn't expect a supercar to be economical?
Plus, the battery is an improvement to my dhd , so that is another miracle, considering the extra horsepower behind the one x

Where's the like button? I really do wonder what people expect. Get a Motorola if you want the battery to last you for a week.
More than happy with the battery life of the handset. Lasts me from when I leave home in the morning till when I get home at night and then some. Beats having to charge my phone during the day like on my DHD.
People need to get used to charging their phone every night, really don't understand people's issues with that. What's the big deal?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
I know!!! My DHD is on the charger every night! It doesn't bother me
Why would they? It's fine.
To all the "glass half empty" whining types. You guys do know these things charge from USBs right. I got a great solution; plug it in when its running low.
Besides, the battery life is staggeringly good if you think about it. Mine lasts 2 days for simple calling and texting here and there and a whole day for quite heavy usage, browsing, YouTube, calls and so on. 18hours total, 4-4.5 hours screen on, 40/50mb data and 1.5 hours of calls yesterday, put it away at 1%, still not dead 2 hours of standby later.
Mine's OK, not great. I really didn't expect it to be. It'll be interesting to see how the S4 One XL does now that it's shipping. If it's about the same (with LTE off) than it's not a Teg3 issue. If it's dramatically better than we know it's not the display alone causing battery challenges.
I think that no update coming anytime soon is acceptable but no update AT ALL?
Im sorry but f*** that! Why can't they focus abit on the battery, some simple things would be to have less CRAP and bloatware, maybe if they could release 2 versions 1. simplified with the sense camera ONLY and rest ICS and the other with the full sense package that is really no necessary.
The most important thing to remember is that this a a PHONE to make calls and for that it works nicely and the battery lasts if you keep the screen off most of the time, but for a phone like this that was made to do more things I think you need to at the very least have a battery or a software symbiosis that can last for 8,9 hours of screen time.
Its Tegra 3 for f*** sake! With the super-dupe-triple-super-important-kill core2dou like nothing-quad-core-and a dedicated 5 companion core THAT IS SUPPOSE TO DELIVER KILLER BATTERY LIFE.
What is the problem?
I think there is simply too much Sense on the phone, too many uneceassy widgets and other crap that run in the background (oh you can flash cusom rom bla bla, you can freeze services with Titanium backup bla bla, but what if I want to use a stock rom?) bull**** I say, wih such and advanced CPU and memory and so on I do not see why you cannot have better battery life.
My Samsung Galaxy S2 can work for up to 3 days (ok it has a AMOLED ok ok but still, touchwhiz seems to not over run ICS) On stock ICS. Why? Because they have less 'painted over ICS functions that almost makes it run 2 OS's at the same time so maybe its no wonder the battery gets chewed up by all the sense applications.
This just my opinion from observing the phone and all the fanzy sense stuff after a week.
I believe this phone could be better in terms of software (without a doubt).
One thing they have to adress is the camera, why cant the image files be bigger than 2.9 megapixels? This is so stupid considering it has an 8 mpx camera... Also the full HD and 720p records in the latest firmware 1.28xx at approximately 24 fps and it should be 29 or 30. My Asus Prime records at a steady 30 fps at 1080p and 720p and its running Tegra 3 too.
They MUST at some point focus on battery life because if you dont have the juice to run all those fanzy apps and UI then why are they there in the first place?
I LOVE the weather graphics but I could live without it too (If I absolutely HAVE to....) the only thing necessary is the camera sense app because its the only thing that makes the phone unique and very fun and nice (but again whats the point without proper battery life?)
I hope HTC continues to work on making this one of the best first quad-core phone.
Another thing I noticed with SetCpu is that the phone is very high frequencies very frequently, if you install it and use the phone for a day you will see the graph scale, it uses 1.4 abut 40% of the time, but why? I never played games during this period or anything.
Im gonna keep my 1X because I love it and I believe in it and in the HTCdevs if they cant just be more positive perhaps
Cheers!

4-4.5 hrs screen on isn't typical usage that the majority are getting though. Closer to 3 hrs.
It's easier to be quick to judge others when your own device defies the norm for the better.
If you were struggling to get 2.5 hrs , I doubt you'd be as chirpy about it all.
Two words that will help battery life without HTC - "custom kernels"
If you need to see the difference they make just ask in one of faux's threads, e.g. in the Sensation dev forum.
did the update improve the batterie life and if so , does the HOX still run as fast or did things low down ?
Pretty much echo the below , i have had an sgs2 and have an xperia s and this phone with its companion core is at least 33% worse on battery than both of these, and the processor is supposed to be more efficient . The display excuse won't wash much as the xperia s display is at least as bright/power hungry if not more .
I would love to see the exchange / return rates on this handset due to it not living up to its hype , let alone the fault rates.
And i am not whining, i upgraded to one, i like it , i will keep it and maybe one day learn to root it and replace the rom, but lets not kid ourselves its just not a finished polished product in terms of software !
thats my 2p, thanks for reading

Hey guys, I really do want this phone, but before I buy it I want to know how things are for the phone
Is the battery life good? I hear that it comes with a 2000mah battery but offers up to 30% extra due to the power saving options, do you get more then 3hours screen on time? my Galaxy S3 and nexus 4 get around 2.5/3 hours max which just isnt good enough
Does it get dangerously hot? I want this phone not because of the camera, processor or anything like that, I want it for its build quality, saying that its made of metal and obviously metal absorbs heat, does it get really hot? also the hotter the battery the worse battery life you get if im not mistaken?
Is the performance any good? some people say it sluggish, some people say its good, Ive seen a few videos and the UI seems smooth and elegant but it would be nice to read it from people who have had the device for more then a day. Also, its a quad core A9 at 1.5ghz why does it run so badly on Antutu? i saw a 130000 score before, roughly the same as a tegra 3 if im not mistaken. I know benchmarks dont mean anything, but im a benchmark junkie
Hows connectivity? In my area its normally pretty good, although ive read it drops out sometimes
thanks for reading and I hope you reply with some good comments
Jack
the battery works for about one day ... think it could be better ...
the perfomance is pretty good, maybe the people telling, that it is poor, have an old firmware e.g. B104 in germany ...
when playing a long time or watching video, it could get warmer, but for me, it is not hot ...
alltogether :good:
I can normally get two days of light use from the 'phone (well from 6am day one to 6pm on day two). However, something has a tendency to hog the processor if I leave it switched on overnight. If I switch the 'phone off (power down) over night (from 11pm to 6am) I can easily get three or four days use. I use the 'phone mostly for sending a few texts, half an of web browsing in the evening on the bus (which warms the 'phone up) and an hour of BlueTooth music on the bus morning and evening. This uses around 20% battery per day.
I find that in everyday use the 'phone has plenty of processing power. Scrolling through the BBC News app is smoother than my old Xperia Z.
Connectivity seems fine and compared to my old Xperia Z and the iPhone 5 certainly no worse, although with the current official firmware, the signal gauge seems to constantly go from 2 bars to no signal and back again. Both my workplace and my home are in relatively low signal areas anyway and often don't get much above one bar unless stood in the right corners of the house or workshop so I struggle for signal due to my location. Having said that, despite the gauge showing little or no signal, I don't suffer from having no connection (at least no more than with the other two 'phones) and sending messages or reading websites on the bus across the transmitter blackspots of The Lincolnshire Wolds is no less reliable than any other 'phone I've used in these locations.
I think this is the best 'phone I've owned for a long time. I've not liked a 'phone as much since my HTC HD Mini, including the iPhone 5 and Xperia Z already mentioned.

Thanks for the reply, it seems that with newer firmware the phone has gotten better? Im thinking if i were to root the device and underclock it too 1.0ghz the heat would go down and also save a bit of battery life, I use this method on my Galaxy S3 and get around an hours worth of screen on time
Let me know what you think, Jack

Battery life is not best for me... I've "Cell Standby" which drains battery, but it will be fixed in next updates i think. Phone gets warm when using, but not too much.
Perfomance is good enough for me, and maybe it will be better on next firmwares. I suggest you to flash B111 rom, you can find it from Development forum. I got 13 200 score from Antutu benchmark with B107 firmware, and 14 400 with B111.
In overall .. you have to buy this phone ! Its amazing

Hi guys,
Have you experience cell phone over heating just doing web browsing? And consequently having fast battery drain?

On B106, Usually I have to charge my phone twice in a day. Due to heavy Wi-Fi usage and games, now upgraded to B107 lets hope the situation gets better.

For battery, within standby, it only uses 2~3% while the whole night (from 11.pm to 7.am). So, normally, u can use more than 36h, if u dont paly many many games.
For the temperature, its warm not hot, but i found some apps are hot, and the same others are only a little warm, i think the CPU and system optimize is not good enough for normally use. So the performance, i think it has the same problem.
Err, forgive my poor english......

Guys,I'm thinking of buying this phone.I think the specs are great but I saw many reviews of it being laggy and slow on lollipop and other issues such as overheating and terrible battery life.
I know that it has a qhd screen which will drain battery more quicker but i saw screen on time of 1:30 - 2:30 hours only which i think is really bad considering it has 3000mah battery.
So guys, is it really bad on lollipop?I don't know if it is better on latest version because i saw reviews from june-july.
I need an honest opinion because I'm really fed up with lag on my xperia sp and now I want a lagfree phone.

The phone is a beast, especially considering that it costs 1/3 of current Galaxy S6 or even 1/4 of Note 5.
Battery life is better than S6, in par with Note 5.
Performance is great, camera is great, speaker is great, battery is good, software isn't bloated like Touchwiz.
Only thing that annoys me is slowish updates (because it's not main flagship anymore, G4 is) and washed out blacks since it's LCD screen.
Other than that I think its a great device and I'm happy that I will be using it for another year.
Thanks for the reviews guys.Hopefully i'll get it soon
Hi, i plan to buy the m9 but the overheating and poor battery life problems that i heard kind of keeps me away from it. What's your avg battery life and it's still overheating 8 month after release?
The phone doesn't overheat but it DOES get hot.
Battery life is dependent on how you use it but as a normal phone it lasts a day or two. As a gaming device expect a couple of hours.
It's still one of the best phones out.
I wish I stole my HTC M9.

I've never had mine get that hot honestly. I did get it more recently so it isn't one of the first batches. It stays cooler than my m8 did honestly. Battery life is definitely worse, though manageable. I can easily get a day out of it, just I can't go as crazy as I could with screen on time on my m8.

not quite. My battery life is very acceptably lasting between 12 - 14 hours normal use (4.5hrs screen on time).
And I have no overheating issues, the phone has never crashed or rebooted due to heat. the only time the heat is even really noticeable is when I just flashed a rom and android is optimizing apps on first boot. For this I just put the phone on a cold pack the duration of the install (it's not like your holding it the whole time)
I have the dot view case on and very rarely notice heat. Battery is perfectly fine, better than my M7 which I had came from. All this is based on being on latest update and firmware. It has vastly improved since launch.
Depends how you define "overheat." It doesn't get so hot that it malfunctions or risks injury. It can get quite hot to the touch, especially if you're charging and doing CPU intensive stuff at the same time. I have had it get hot enough to stop charging quite a few times when I was using and charging at the same time.
Battery life is comparable to other top-end smartphones. 90% of the time I have little trouble getting through the day.
Some people complain about these issues, but it's hard to tell if they're truly experiencing exceptional problems or just suffer from Perfect Phone Syndrome.
When not rooted with custom rom ie out of the box original, its loaded with so much crap from htc after a few weeks of normal use it overheats and the battery life is poor. My guess is that with Cyanogenmod it would fly.
Hi
I'm thinking to switch from a note 4 to a LG G4 but before I wanted to decide on want to ask the G4 users how there experience is with the phone. How is battery life and heat with this phone? How is camera?
I'm a moderate gamer but I watch often movies on my phone. S pen is not that important for me
the biggest problem of LG G4 is only about battery. I personally just can achieve 4-6 hours of battery life. My G4 was worked normally until last week: the temperature became 60'C, always restarting when overheated (now my G4 is at LG Service Center). Camera is absolutely the best, even note5 can't beat it. Screen size is only 5.5, so if you came from Note3 or Note4, you'll miss roomy screen. So, if you need best camera, buy it, otherwise upgrade to other phone IMHO
I dont know how battery life will improve with the marshmallow update. I just updated yesterday so time will show that. I would say battery life is about 4-5hrs SOT. If you are used to longer screen on time you might be in for a suprise. However the camera is the best i have seen. I don't know how it would compare to the note 5. Another device worth looking at is the Nexus 6P. It is up there with the best so maybe go into a store and check it out. Bottom line im happy with my LG G4. No lag at all

I came from a Note 4. I loved my Note, but figured out, that after a while I didn't need the S-Pen anymore.
The G4 is not as "Productive" as the Note, but comes along with an awesome camera and, if you're rooted and got the right apps on you phone, with a good battery life.
In fact, I'm happy to have changed from Samsung to the G4, but it's surely a question of taste, too. But I can recommend it. I'm super satisfied Cheers

I came from a Note 4. I loved my Note, but figured out, that after a while I didn't need the S-Pen anymore.
The G4 is not as "Productive" as the Note, but comes along with an awesome camera and, if you're rooted and got the right apps on you phone, with a good battery life.
In fact, I'm happy to have changed from Samsung to the G4, but it's surely a question of taste, too. But I can recommend it. I'm super satisfied Cheers

I have no heat problems and as I said: Battery life is good for me. Usually I have 2 days until I have to charge my phone again (If I'm not using it very often).
Otherwise I have to charge it every 24 hours, if I'm using it alot.
I think there's no big difference between the battery life of the Note 4 and the G4. I usually had to charge both phones at night, which is pretty much ok for me.
If I had to make a choice I'd say the LG G4 lasts a little longer (if rooted) Cheers
EDIT: If I'm power using it I get like 5-6 hours SOT, which is also similar to the Note 4
Remember results may vary.
The guy above me is getting 5 -6 hours SOT. But for me I can only achieve that when I am at home on wifi all day. And maybe the same is true for follow_and_feel. So it really depends on your day to day activities.
In a nutshell. If you're in a area with spotty connectivity, battery life will take a huge plummet. On work days my building is in a spotty area, and the phone lasts me until the end of the day with maybe 5-10%. With 3ish hours SOT under my belt. If the network wasn't spotty I'd probably look at 4 hours or more.
The only time I experience heat is under heavy usage, very spotty areas, or while using a garbage app like snapchat. Otherwise on normal day to day use with messaging, browsing, social media, the odd video here and there the phone stays cool.
Camera on this bad boy is out of this world. I've seen some of the shots people have taken and they look very professional. To the average person, they would barely be able to tell the difference between a G4 picture and one taken with a proper camera. The camera is probably the biggest selling point.
Lastly gaming. Gaming is a no no. Battery goes down very fast, and the phone eventually heats up as well. You can get away with some light games like Clash of Clans but don't expect the battery to hold up. The GPU is weaker than it's hot headed older brother (Snapdragon 810). If gaming is very big for you, I'd honestly say get the Note.
Videos is not an issue though. You might get some warmth though but nothing major
