Okay so I presume all of you one X power users have noticed a the horrible battery performance. I only got my one x yesterday and I'm already frustrated with the fact that i yet again have to carry my charger around with me. Is there a fix? I have root and custom recovery. So if there is a fix for this please someone let me know.m
Since I flashed the Revolution HD I got excellent battery performance. Without doing too much stuff (just calling and texting), battery remains > 50% at the end of the day. I would really recommend that rom.
I've just flashed it, going to see how it goes. But I would've expected HTC to bang a beast of a battery for the beast of a processor and massive screen its gotta run. Oh well, still early days, hopefully we'll see massive software improvements.

I'm getting 6-7 on a full charge at the moment, but that's down to me being a power user.

And also you just got the phone yesterday. Batteries take about 10 charge cycles to reach full potential.

Not really, no. Personally I did not unlock device, neither root it, neither installed any fix. And I must say that I'm more happy with battery life than I was with my previous phone SGS2. More then 16 hours here with 4 accounts synchronization on, 3g/wifi on, and sometimes gps + music on (for Endomondo). I'm really happy with my One X.
ARHD Rom, auto-brightness, plain wallpaper, no haptic feedback, no roaming, managing syncing, and a few other tweaks will leave this devices battery life as one of the best.

Yep. Relax. I got 6 hours from first charge, 10 hours from second charge, 12 hours from third charge...
After over two weeks I'm now getting between 18 and 24 hours. Give it a couple of weeks before judging battery life.

I try to use as much as I can the first few days, and time it so that you have about 10-30% charge left when you reach home from work/school and then I let it charge overnight.
I know quite a lot of time was spent idle, but 60% after 7 and a half hours isn't too bad http://twitter.com/Dev_Meltus/status/194082996767309825/photo/1/large
I've not really had a problem with battery life so far.

how did u use it on those 7 hours? idling?
Have been seriously contemplating getting the One X.
My first choice had been the Galaxy S3..... but the One X seems the better choice.... I have had the iPhone 4 for almost 2 years, so now it's almost upgrade time If the Galaxy S3 had no physical home button I would be taking it.
Had been worried about the battery life of the one x but after reading these and a few others it seems worth it and it's available in black (dark grey but darker than S3 metallic blue)
I Just hope I don't have issues with app incompatibility for the apps I use on iPhone.
With normal usgae, I've got more than 10 hours after one charge. Not so happy with it but it's good enough for me.

have you got yourself the One X? if so, how is it compared with your previous phone?
i also want to swap my iphone 4 with One X and looking for different experiences especially with the battery life
I've turned everything off and left my phone on idle, my battery issue has persisted for over 6 months now (I bought it in Singapore on release day). With screen on min brightness, static wallpaper, most apps off, my battery drains fully within 6 hours. If I actually do anything with it like make phonecalls, it drains in hours. The battery phone is constantly hot, when on charge It's almost too hot to hold. If while on charge (AC) I use it to make a call, it complains that it's not receiving enough power. Should I look to get a replacement from HTC? I'm still using stock rom so it should be covered under warranty?
Sounds like the htc amaze battery overheat..
Also get gsam battery app.. it will tell you what apps are using what % of battery.
I also use advanced task manager from play store.. it proved to me how much gmaps Facebook and other bloat was ALWAYS RUNNING!.. I got root and froze it all with big improvements
Some of us who htc amaze w no warranty bought a new battery and that fixed it

Aside from your time travel/exaggeration, I suggest better battery stats, finding out what is causing wake lock, and killing.it.
Your phone is fine, but you have some crapware on it.
Just recived my replacement One X and the serial number starts with SH23, There is a problem with network access and the screen has like a rippled effect under it when the screen is off.
Is it worth sending this one back again???

SH23 here.. no problems or issues.
SH23 here, no problems either.
SH23 have flickering on light grey colors. Everything else is solid.
Battery drain might be a bit higher than normal, was initially really bad. Hit 60 degrees celsius just leaving it on max brightness home screen. Turned it off and charged to 100, then saw the HTC Test function app using the dialer. Did that and battery drain was more normal. Still doesn't seem optimal so today I'm gonna drain all the way and then charge the phone fully while phone is off.

How long have you had your phone for? I've had mine since Tuesday and battery life has been less than stellar, but I also expected to have to go through a number of charge/discharge cycles before it improved.

I've actually only had it for 2 days so far. I got it thru a trade on craigslist so idk how long the original owner had it for. Less than two months probably cuz SH23 means it was manufactured in march.
I actually somehow fixed battery drain a bit all today. I think draining your battery and charging it while your phone is off helps. It somehow helped me. Before doing it, I tried the HTC test and hit 60 degrees celsius and drained to like 78% with 15 minutes or less screen on time.
After just turning it off because it was overheating and letting it charge fully while phone was off.....I did the HTC test again but this time using the actual HTC test function app by dialing *#*#3424#*#* and doing the battery test. Drain was normal and about 30 minutes every 10%. Also tried to replicate drain issue and overheating by going max brightness on my homescreen and couldn't replicate. Was hitting the normal 36-38 degrees celsius on max brightness.
Make sure to put your phone into airplane mode and have screen timeout to never before doing this. Once you click run, it will start a timer for 1 hour and drain from 100%. After the 1 hour, you should be around the 80% battery life mark, and above 70%. If it's at like 70% or below, you have a problem. If it's abnormally hot, you may have a problem.
Mine kinda went away after charging to 100% with phone off though which was really weird. I'm gonna drain and fully charge up. Then perform the test again and see if it's even better than what I just got.

Thanks for the advice. I'm running Insertcoin and it appears the HTC test function app has been removed. In any event, I won't be too quick to judge the battery life on the phone. Once custom kernels start dropping for this phone I suspect battery life will greatly increase.

Yea, I was on a ROM, but decided to re-lock and go back stock until issues start to get solved.
Kernels will definitely make a big difference, gotta wait till the sources are released though. And hopefully S-OFF
Hi guys.
I've got the one x some weeks ago, but I can trust that battery have so short life. I see in Battery Thread [ this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1579392&page=100 ] people with one x living for days and using this a lot. Mine not, not with Custom Rom or Kernels... I wish that is a problem of Htc and Tegra drivers, I wish that new bases can help me... But for now, how can I test if my battery is fault ? There is a test in android apps or something else? Please help me, thanks!
Make a full charge and then run battery test.
type this is keypad *#*#3424#*#*
then start your battery test and keep your phone untouched. Before doing this keep your phone in flight mode.
You should have left atleast with 88% percent battery after the test.
post your result here.
is it necessary to keep it in flight mode and what about wifi should that be turned off as well and what abt screen brightness?

Airplane turns off WiFi and app turn screen to 100, and anything over 70% is a pass if its under 70% then it needs to ne replaced.

i think il run this later, my battery is poor on stock, can just about scrape a full day, if i force myself to use light.
however i was using AOKP rom last week and battery was much improved. back on stock atm, a few to many bugs for daily use, atm.
does this test take long? im thinking when is best to do it? i need the phone on all day/evening, so i thought when in bed, but if it takes hours, il be asleep time it finishes, so il not know the out come. or do you get a report waiting for you?
so i it fails, how do you go about getting a replacement? contact HTC directly via web or instore where i purchased ? as EU Law says my *contract* is with the seller , not manufacturer, as the seller has the contract with them.

It feels like my battery keeps getting worse and worse. I did this test couple of days after i bought a phone, and the result was 93% after one hour.
Yesterday before going to bed, i restarted the phone, closed all running processes, and ran the test again, this time (two weeks later) my result was 86% after one hour. After finished the test, played with a phone for maybe 15mins (picking new wallpaper) and went to bed. In the morning i found my phone at 34%, i have never experienced such a big drain overnight before. So maybe this test is not too accurate at all. after picking up the phone and reading emails for 5mins, my battery goes to 21%... i am starting to think, that my battery is going worse.

Hello,
I want to know whether it is normal, if I play a game like ShadowGun THD, after 2 minutes the phone is about 40 to 45C?
I use the Gauge Battery Widget for testing, because that shows an immediate temperature.
I also have a test.
battery recharge
Put in airplane mode.
Brightness at 100% put
Stand 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes the phone on standby, then immediately turned on the phone, the app started, and looked at how warm the phone was. And he was about 31.8C
Is this normal or not? because at play after 2 minutes the phone all at 40 to 45C.
Sincerely,

It is normal, but I don't consider it "OK". It is overheating badly.
The worse thing is it will also not charge when over 49... (it will discharge fast in fact)
Mine started getting that hot and caused the simcard contacts to warp. So I sent it back for a replacement. I do think the later updates cooled it down a bit but by that time the damage was done

When I was on 1.28 I had the same problem, in fact it went up to 50 degrees regularly.
After the first 1.29 update it was much much better.
Updated to 1.29.401.11 about a week ago and it seems to have gone back to how it was on 1.28!
48 is when the overheating green/red notification kicks in anything under 48 is fine.

While on charge as soon as it hits 48c it flashes green/red, when that starts it stops charging till the temp drops below that limit.
While off charge the battery should be good up to 60 the CPU is set to shut down the phone at 99 c

Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I regularly see 50-55ºC even while browsing. But mine will still charge (1.29.401.11) maybe they raised the threshold? It's never shutoff on me but I've heard the upper limit for the phone was 60ºC.
I've contacted Expansys about this issue as when my phone stays above 50ºC for a while the screen yellows right above the home key. Hoping for a replacement, mainly because a case I used has already scratched the screen but it'd be nice is the yellowing and overheating was fixed.
When i check the temp_tj it says my cpu is 43,5 degrees right now, and i'm not doing anything ?
aren't some people reporting battery temp and other cpu temp ?
What software version are you running? My guess is 1.29.401.11 did something that while fixes the screen flickering, it causes the CPU to get too hot.
fellas,
the only solution currently available to reduce the heat is to use corecontrol app and change it to dual-core.
u'l notice considerable difference ofcourse without any loss in the performance..
what does it means, when you plugged in your phone to a load up again, and you get a red light? is that because the battery is full, or to heat? because when i unplug it, it is oke..
Charging
The red light when you plug it in is the phone simply telling you that it is charging, it will turn green when fully charged!

More and more things are going wrong.
So it has happened a couple times where the tablet says it has 28% or so and then my daughter uses it and in about 5 min the battery is dead. Has this ever happened to anyone, is it from being uncharged for a while and by that I mean I haven't charged it for about 3 days? Its not to big of a deal just weird.

I've had that problem, particularly when using what I assume are labor-intensive apps (Skype, Candy Crush, The Room). It really bugs me, since the tablet ought to be able to handle these without significant drain. But I'll see my battery go from 40% to 5% in a matter of minutes.

I made this account just for this EXACT issue..... same thing has been happening to me, battery loses CHUNKS in the matter of seconds, its not a calibration issue, i have fully charged it many times.
i just got not even 5 hours of screen on time with my note.... freekin pathetic. its a fresh flash of clean rom too. battery drain like crazy... i think im gonna try to odin to stock and send it to samsung... i think this tab has a battery defect.
Ya it only happens for me when the battery is getting lower at around 40-35% then sometimes it just drops stupid fast. Also I'm not rooted it's a stock tab

I have the exact same thing. From about 30 - 35% it drops in a matter of minutes until empty.
Did anyone figure out yet what causes this? And is there a solution to it? I also sometimes have issues to power on the device. When pressing the power button it doesn't respond. I had this a few times now, after pressing the button for about 10-15 seconds it finally switches on... Anyone else had this issue too?
Yes im having the same problem. As im viewing this post, ive lost about 3% battery. Last time i buy a samsung tablet. They dont optimize or update to patch their mistakes. Horrible.
Sent from my SM-P600 using xda app-developers app
I had the exact same problem......
And the solution is.....
FORGET ABOUT IT... I know that it turns u crazy and makes u just watching the battery percentage waiting for it to drop....so annoying
But what I decided to do is just forgetting about it and use it normally and dont let the battery percentage go too low and by time and charging and draining the battery over a month or so it became perfect!! It even gets charged in less time (about 4 hrs)
agree
This has now happened to me twice. Id be hovering at 35% ish, and in 20 mins of video watching im down to 16%. Something is amiss
I never had this problem until i recently Rooted the device and installed Clean ROM. Im thinking i should go back to stock firmware with Root and see if this still occurs. Worrying
If people let the battrey drop to 5% then switch off the device. Then put it back on and then connect charger and charge to 100% in one go without using until it tells you to unplug....see if that works.
Obvs dont always do this....this is just to try to calibrate battery. Under normal conditions you shouldnt let the battery drop below 30% before charging anyway to protect the battery from severe degredation.

Had the same issue with mine, sent it to Samsung for what I thought was going to be a battery replacement. They just flashed a new firmware on it and that fixed it. They also put 2-3 scratches on my flawless screen. Idiots.
However, overall, battery life SUCKS on this tablet. It's way worse than the older 10.1 which I am using now because I can't get rid of Samsung's API locked sPen gestures on the 2014.

The problem might lie in the usage of a certain app... dolphin browser for example... enable flash on it and your tablet drops 10 percent a minute or more ... you should look if the tablet is draining also by doing nothing by just having the screen on.... there is also the possability of having a bad external sd card that causes android to loop media scanning nonstop....
Im rocking android for some time now on multiple devices... and it was always some rouge app which caused this ... causing wakelocks and stuff... you can look for whats draining battery with wakelock battery monitor... or better battery stats... try to keep android as clean as possible ... some apps just drain like hell.... even facebook ... because of background services

This has now happened to me twice. Id be hovering at 35% ish, and in 20 mins of video watching im down to 16%. Something is amiss
I never had this problem until i recently Rooted the device and installed Clean ROM. Im thinking i should go back to stock firmware with Root and see if this still occurs. Worrying
