If it's still the original battery, it's very likely due to battery aging
You can try to properly calibrate the battery (NOT by wiping the battery stats), there is a proper method which is supposed to work. But this doesn't give it extra live, just tries to reset the readings so it displays correctly. It will simply appear to drain faster, but hopefully shut down closer to 0%
My advice would be to buy a new battery, make sure it is an official one or from a reputable seller with good reviews.

thanks dude.....i will try changing battery if it works

Battery jumps

Hi guys!
I have question.
When i have charged my HOX, and just normally use it, it looks like it jumps from 100 to 99, to 98, to 92!! It just stick to 98 for a while, and after that it jumps to 92 (just an example). I am on leedroid's ROM atm. Is this a common problem?
Thanks!
I'm on stock ROM and using battery widget monitor and I get the same think, guess it's just they way the system reports the battery percent. Had the same issue on my Sensation ad well.

Hmm, i think a software tweak can sort this out. Saw there is a tweak for sensation too right?
When you charge your phone it will charge to 100%, then take itself off the power source. It will then deplete the battery to 90-95% and then go back on the power source until 100%, and repeat. This is why you have those jumps in battery percentage. Once it charges to 100% once, it will be "fully charged" even if it is in one of those discharging states.

Yeah I've got the software set to one X, it seems to report the mAH drain correctly but the percent still jumps.

It once hung on around 41% for around 5 hours when i had the screen off/on very occassionally to check emails/reply. And then it jumped down to 34%

Improve battery life

Do you want to improve your battery life ? I don't guarantee it will work but give it a try, you don't have anything to lose:
1) Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more
2) Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour
3) Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another 1 hour.
If you believe you have improvement, please report back.
Turn off the device for 2 hours and charging for 8 hours is totally waste. But it may improve battery life as u have tested.
We can have good battery life if we do a charge for 3 hours daily. And also the battery can last 1.5 days easily.

2 minutes not 2 hours. The point is to make the phone think that it lost some juice and attempt to charge again to its limits.

It may very well improve the battery but who has time to do that everyday?
I also have tips on how to improve battery life and can be found in my signature.
Cheers.
What i do is when my battery is down,charge the phone & not using it until the charge is complete

This trick is very common for Li-Battery devices. (There is e.g. a very similar for HTC Desire).
You normally have to activate it only once. By doing this the battery unlocks some "extra power".
But be careful this MAY harm you battery. (On HTC Desire some people reported dead batteries or even worse battery life ...)

You do know that Li-ion batteries are fragile, and that overcharging them damages them, right?
Long charge is dangerous for li-ion batteri

That wasn't my invention anyway. It was initially recommended by HTC.
Just to clarify something. I didn't post this in order to convince anyone for anything. The idea of community is to share knowledge and exchange experience.
That's was my initial thought and I never said it either works or not. To be honest though I have the sense that after doing it the first time, the battery stayed on 100% for much longer time than before. I haven't measure this systematically though so I can't tell it for sure as many factors could have contributed to this.
Also, the idea was to do this once and then only once in a while and not too often. So it wouldn't harm your battery.
We need portable nuke station for HOX to solve our power problems.
Coming.from a Galaxy Note this is a bit shocking
Any tips?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you've gone from about 70% charge to 20% with 2 hours screen on time? Give us your stats again from a full charge.

[Q] Bigger Capacity Battery Percentages

Hi!
So, a few weeks ago I purchased the OEM HTC Incredible S battery for my Desire Z (Perfect fit, adds 150mAh capacity).
I did a battery stats reset when I installed the battery, but something strange happens with my battery percentage. It shows 100% remaining for about 2 hours after running on battery, even when making use of the phone. And, when charging, it takes little time to get to 99%, but takes extremely long to reach 100%.
So it seems that the extra capacity isn't being fitted in to the battery stats correctly, it's as if the extra 150mAh hasn't been averaged in to the battery stats, but rather just added to the top at 99%...
Does that make any sense? Am I missing something here?

It's normal for me..99% is always take much longer (30-45min) to charge compare to 20-50% it's fast

Do the wipe one more time...then charge and drain about 2 times..it should calibrate properly after that

That's normal behavior for a new battery, Should have got the Evo 4G Design battery.

[Q] HTC One X Charging for too long

Hi, I got a HTC One X from second hand. It´s almost new, no signs of usage, but the point is, the battery has already been charged a few (dozen) times so it´s not brand new. My problem is, it charges for too long. Way too long. About 10 hours or so from ~0 to 100%.
Can anyone please help me with this issue? Is the battery faulty? Do I need to have it changed? (I do not have a warranty). Did anyone else encounter this?
How long the battery stays after fully charged? It must be battery fault or charger fault... Go to nearest servise centre...

You need a 1A ac adapter. If you charge the phone with a smaller current it may takes over 8 hours.

Wipe ur battery stats, drain ur battery then charge uninterrupted till its full, drain and charge again so that max and min battery levels are well calibrated. A battery app like battery doctor will help keep ur battery in giid shape.

Perhaps is there another reason. When you install a new rom, you must wait several cycles of charge/discharge to have a good battery life.
So, interrupt his charging cycle isn't the best way for battery life. And yes, you must wipe your battery stats to.
Now my battery died, when i plug charger, sometimes led blink 2 times with red light, and it's over. I will replace it. I pray for battery issue, not motherboard. What do you think about this problem?
I had the same issue under Sense 5 roms.
With the phone on and charging I never reached more than 60% of battery even using battery optimizer.
The solution for me has been back to a 4.2 AOSP Rom (ICJ in my case) and a couple of cycles again my battery works as usual.
I tried again with a S5 rom and the issues are back, so I have to use no Sense 5 roms if I want my battery right.
You can also try to charge in Recovery, that worked for me, to wake the bootloader.
Hope this would be useful for you.
Cheers.
PD. Sorry for my english
Have you tried a stock sense 5.0 rom?
PS. Maby we have the same HOX cause of same problems
I´ve tried ARHD & MaximusHD, both with Stock kernel and Alex-V S.E. 2.1
Always with the same result.

This week i found something that seemed to be a issue like the one reported here. My phone goes without battery before i got to sleep. I got my phone to charge on the Wall charger (HTC OEM). When i woke up i figured out that my battery only charged up to 15% (Froze at 15%)
It is the second time this has happened since the Sense 5 update (OTA Update).
Never happened before.
