I have the same issue. Although mine sometimes jumps down in 5% increments (or in some rare cases 4%) in all the ROMS I've tried.
You could try calibrating the battery but some say it's just a placebo.
I've decided to change the battery entirely and see if it fixes it (and maybe get better battery life).
Good luck!

Hey everyone,
Ive installed the new 7.0 Revolution rom 2 days ago for my HTC ONE X.
ive calibrated and fully charged my battery once but it seems that my battery drains really fast.
The current seem to be very high - goes between 200-700MA.
Id love to get some tips to improve my battery life..
when using my 3g it seems that every minute or so one percent goes down, im sure its not normal.
thanks!

Just let the battery cycle though 3-4 charges and you will start to see a noticeable difference in battery life. Stay clear of battery calibration apps - they just screw up your batterystats.bin file
Hi guys.. hoping some one can help with this..
Im having a problem with the battery level for two month now. Actually I flashed WIUI from CM9. I had no problem with the rom worked fine, then i did battery calibration. I think it was after that I started to see that while discharging, the battery level goes from 30% to 19% directly. So exactly 10% is lost. I ignored it at first thinking it was an issue of the rom. Then I recently flashed CM10 from WIUI. and i noticed the problem was still there. So i redid the battery calibration. Now im having battery level drop from 60% to 49%. Another 10% loss!! Thats exactly 20% lost from my battery level.
Is there some issue with battery calibration app and the froyo kernel. I am having froyo kernel. Thats the only thing thats common since i had the issue in two different roms.
Battery drops explained
Hi,
read this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778492
Regards
PS : battery calibration and stuffs like this seems to be useless ; the only thing working is charging the phone switched OFF from 0 to 100% (at least 4h) and once at 100%, keep on charging the phone switched ON.
thanx...
how do i confirm that it is a hardware problem? .. because i never had a problem for almost two years now , until i used battery calibration app. Is there any other solution other than replacing my battery. Thanks in advance.
Actually, I don't know well...
I faced same problem when I went on CM9, coming from GGL ROM (Gingerbread for Green Lens).
I didn't have this "drops" when I was on GGL, they appeared on CM9.
So I don't think that my battery went bad suddenly.
I did not replace my battery, and doing like I described above (full charges 0=>100%) several times (mabe 10 cycles) made battery drops disappear for me.
I think it is known that when you go on a new rom, it takes more or less time (that is to say battery charge cycles) to have stable battery consumption.

Hi All,
Recently switched from an iPhone to HTC One X and I am quite disappointed so far. Does anyone also endure poor battery life with your HTC One X?
I am not running much applications in the background either, if I charge my phone to 100%, I go to bed and wake up its 80% without me even touching the phone... and it hardly lasts me half a day without charging.
Does anyone have any tips to improve battery life? Oh, and my screen brightness is always at 0-25%... thanks for any help!

Plz search in One X general....u'll find alot of topics regarding this....search for the one titled battery saving tips...the tips are all the same usually....your phone will improve after multiple charge cycles.....

There are plenty of threads discussing about battery life, look at few of them to get an idea.
One X battery life is not great, but it should comfortably last a day (around 16 hours or more) with moderate use. But everything depends on what apps you are running and how you the phone. For example if you play graphics intensive 3D games for like 2 or 3hrs then it wont last much more than 4 or 5 hours. Other than processor intensive apps the other biggest battery killer is screen, you can’t get more than 3~4hrs of screen time with One X (but then again 4 hours on the phone is not exactly moderate use either). With normal use i.e: 1~2hrs of screen time for day-to-day tasks (browsing, email, texting etc..) and about 1hr of calls the battery should last 16+ hrs. Standby battery life of One X is fantastic, it hardly drops even more than 5% overnight is left alone. If you notice a 20% drop then there is something wrong. Go to battery usage stats and see which apps are eating up the battery.

There is a huge battery thread in this forum, please read through it. However, to start do as below:
Your overnight behavior is not normal. One X uses a 5th core and barely uses any battery while asleep. Usually with auto sync on I consume 2% overnight (usually 8 hours).
Install CPU spy and Better Battery stats. With CPU spy reset the counter before going to sleep and check the sleep % in the morning, it should be above 90% at 0 mhz. Check if it has several minutes at high mhz (800 to 1200 mhz).
With better battery stats go to other in menu and set custom ref before going to sleep. Check in the morning both kernel wakelocks and partial wakelocks. Check if there are any apps generating the most wakelocks . You could have some of the following consuming your battery overnight (I had all of these):
- weak wifi or data signal generates a lot of kernel wakelocks as the phone is constantly scanning for signal.
- some weather widgets have generated me constant wakelocks
- Facebook, Currents, Flipboard all of those constantly update and consume battery.
Also if your HOX is new at first battery life sucks. Believe me it will get way better after a couple of weeks.
try installing ther latest firmware (2.17). if you cant install then search install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970
works like a charm for me and helps the battery to last longer!

Dear XDA,
I've tried various 4.2.2 ROMs on my HTC Desire HD and experiencing horrible battery life.
I do not know what to do, from 100% till 0 in 2/3 hours, while just being standby. It's not the battery since I've replaced this one some days ago.
Currently running the cm-10-1-unofficial-ace, a nightly by Mustaavalkosta.I am having a 3G connection with Sync on, turned location related actions off. The Kernel is also by Mustaavalkosta (3079-3.3+)
What could I possibly do to fix is?
Much appreciated!
No1?
from what i read and experienced it isnt a rom issue. that being said, search the numerous battery threads here, a good start would be better battery stats thread

Can you say with certainty that rolling back to an older version of Android would give marginally better battery life?
I had a similar issue to you several months ago. My battery just became useless. Since I switched ROMs frequently, I also thought it was the ROM, but ultimately the battery was at issue. The Desire HD is getting up their in age, and so are the stock batteries that came with them. They can go from a decent charge to holding a pathetic charge in a short amount of time. Suggest you pick up a new one, you can even get higher capacity batteries for 10-15 bucks online.

Hi there, thanks for your help!
I did buy a new battery, one with an increased capacity. It seems that a simple battery calibration tool + juicedefender is doing the job pretty ok, the battery life is somewhat still disappointing as it was before, however acceptable.
You need to flash the Kangbang stable kernal V3.3 I believe and also use greenify to kill maps trying to get location and any other app thats opens without you wanting it to.
I had RC! CM10.1 and got 16 hrs and 30 % left before I cracked my screen. Now waiting for a replacement to fix it.

That's really strange since my battery drains to 90% in 5h standby with stock battery.
Have you tried reflashing the ROM?
Does anyone know of a better battery that will work with the zl.
As we all know this phone really suffers from poor battery life and overheating. I've managed to solve the overheating problem by flashing miui v5 and have it undervolted @ 987mv @ 1512mhz with doomkernel and kernel tuner, the phone is very cool now compared to before. However battery life is still dissappointing lasting only 10 hours a day dropping 10% every hour with light/moderate usage. Onscreen time it will die within 3 hours
So I wanna open it up and put a better battery so I can use a different rom cos miui is very restricted imo. xposed framework doesnt really work well with it.

Stock firmware gives me 4,5 hour screentime MINIMUM! So its NOT as we all know. It's your phone and your apps. Mine lasts a good day with more then moderate/light use. 13 hours with 75% left at the moment and 1 hour 10 min. screentime. Wifi always on. When out of house, 4G/LTE always on. NFC constantly on. So its you. Not your phone.
22,5 hour on single charge. 4,5 hour screen time. 8% left. I can't see your problem.

Yes you are correct, Im using paranoid rom and battery life has improved a lot. I also found that heavy undervolting uses more battery life. I'm new to android so didn't know this. What roms are you guys using exactly?
battery life
So? is there any after market battery?
heres my battery life, can someone help me?
I get around 15 hours with the stock rom. I switched to existenz but i havent tested it yet.
And i really want to change the bat.
If there was a way to put a LiPo 3000mah in this thing...
aliexpress.com
You can buy new battery for xperial ZL from aliexpress.com. Not many vendors though, but its pretty cheap.
I ordered mine and it reached from China to India safely in around 1 month. Seems good and genuine, but have not tried it yet. As others have said, it may not be a problem with the battery at all and changing battery wont do any good. Check if its really a battery problem or not.

i also ordered one from ebay it says made in japan now its working smooth and giving me extra 3-4 hours of battery life
after three years of extensive usage, my battery has now reached the end if its life. It now dies at around 30%- 40%. I tried battery calibration but it works only once. after a full 100-0% run, the next run dies at the same 30- 40% level. I have been monitoring voltage via ampere app. when it reaches 30- 40 % range, the voltage drops significantly from 3.5 to 3.2 and below and shut off abruptly. also, now during heavy usage, battery temp goes up to 50 C.
Does this mean the battery is completely worn out? or something else may also be bad?
anybody else with 2-3 years of use notice the same?
and if the battery is at fault here, can someone suggest me a link where can i buy one?

Same here, phone shuts down around 40% and whats worse is that the battery has deformed and pushed motherboard up causing a lot of problems. My ZL USB port short circuited blowing smoke and now won't boot up at all. Tested the battery and got voltage around 2.8V, which means safety triggers won't let me charge it
