The Battery Really Is Amazing!

Hi guys,
Go this One X about 2 weeks ago tomorrow, so I'm guessing the battery has now reached its maximum capacity. Yesterday I was using my phone loads, I had nothing to do and so I kept messing about on it and I got these AMAZING statistics. I'm on 1.29, and for a heavy day of usage these statistics are excellent!
Anyone else seeing anything like this

The battery consumption in standby is almost negligible. 3% for all the night. Having the same kind of statistics since last 38days. But the consumption when the screen is on, isn't so great. But for me it can easily sustain for a day, only thing I have to keep my hands off my mobile.

I have often noted not a single % loss overnight! I couldn't believe it when I went to bed (it was 91%) and woke up 7 hours later and it was still at 91%. I confirmed this behaviour over about 3 or 4 nights - same. Very impressed. Overall I must say that I am actually pretty impressed considering what this phone is packing inside. Over the weekend when I'm not using my phone as much as during the week (family duties call ;-) I can go about 2 days without a charge which is outstanding. The One X is by far the best handset I have ever owned. I love it.

yup 5th battery saver ninja core Nvidia was correct about this one at least

That's really good actually, much better than mine so maybe over the next few days I will see an increase in battery life compared to what I already have. You have charged yours though around the Yellow drop down mark

I agree with this statement. I can't go that long without a charge, but there again I am always using my phone so you know. The GSIII has nothing on this, it really doesn't.

disable all the last 4 settings in the sound menu, no fastboot in power options and battery is better on 1.28 and 1.29 so whats ur firmware?

Screen times?
My One X did 2 days 7 hours once but it means nothing if you haven't really used your phone...

Totally recommend a factory reset, by the sounds of things your battery needs calibrating or something firmware wise is wrong.

Done it many a time mate (I install new ROMs every week or so)
As for calibrating my battery I have done it once but I will be trying it again soon

There's a market application that can do it, but it will install those annoying adds that put the little green '+' in your notification bar, however uninstalling the application will remove these.. so you could do a calibration and run

I'm also really impressed with the battery life
It's so much better than my old iPhone 4S
Here's a screenshot of a few days usage (using the phone whenever I needed, no just leaving it idle for days.... )

I wish i could be that enthusiast about the battery life. I ran the HTC Battery Test and it went from 100% to 89%, which is supposed to be really good (or at least shows that there is nothing wrong with the battery). However, when the screen is on, the battery level decreases pretty quickly. I've seen people here who use the screen for 4 hours and still have 50% battery but it's clearly not my case.
I've had the phone for like 10 days, so maybe it will get better. Let's hope so

It is because you have hardly used the phone as indicated by the fact that the screen is only at 28%. The standby life is good, however as soon as you start using the phone battery goes down fast. Also it does not update battery properly while in standby, as soon as you start using it the battery will drop by 5-6% in one go.

Please stop complaining about the battery!

Hey guys,
I have read so many topic that people complain about HOX battery, so funny!
Please understand that the phone and the battery is same as the care and the fuel tank.
Your car have 20l tank and with full tank, you could run about 200km. Some one could run longer, some one could run shorter but only around 200km. Depends on how you drive, you could run more or less.
You want to feel the power of your car and want to happy with high speed, you should do more acceleration. And of course, your car use more fuel and you run a shorter distance. If you drive your car in very economic way, keep stable acceleration in stable speed, you could run longer distance.
Simple, the phone is exactly like that.
More powerful function, less usage time. Turn every thing off and take your HOX as decoration thing to show to your friend, ha ha, you will have 3 or 4 days of use, even more.
So, please stop complaining about the battery usage. You want supper 3D game, very smooth video, very fast internet, beautiful camera, all tools in your hand... you should not ask to have long time usage. If you want longer, buy other phone (like you buy another car with bigger fuel tank).

Yeah, that analogy works perfectly, the first thing I look at on a car is fuel tank capacity. :screwy:

I agree totally.. I'm forever banging my head on a brick wall with this. If technology is part of your life then invest in it properly.. I have a range of battery extension methods and can / do regularly go a week or more without mains.. but on the other hand when I'm in the office and hammering 3d hd games I know I will be plugged in all day..
I also have another phone.. battery lasts for a week or so without any top up.. but I wouldn't even try and get on social networks with it..let alone try and play the silly 32 colour games.
If battery life matters either invest in the kit so you can charge away from mains or buy a dumb phone.

The problem with battery is why it runs out so quickly for no reason, I have only watched 3 mins of YouTube on my phone and yet I am on 36%

It is not our fault. HTC should have used their brains. 1800mah battery on a quad core beast! Seriously! What on earth were they thinking. I have a feeling 2013 is not going to be a good year for HTC.

I agree with the OPs car and fuel tank capacity analogy and it makes good sense, but tell me, isn't it the responsibility of the car maker to put an adequately sized fuel tank in the car, taking into account all factors like space available in the design, size of the car and its mileage? Isn't it completely stupid and careless on the maker's part to make a huge car with a powerful engine, and put in a fuel tank with the same capacity as in a car that's half it's size with an engine that's half as powerful? How does the maker ensure that the car lasts for a long journey without requiring stops at the gas station every few hours? Everyone knows how irritating that can be, so why should it be any different with phones? You'd at least expect the expensive phone you buy to last for a day with moderate use. No one's asking for two days too. Just a day with moderate use is enough. But that's not the case. The One X, if unplugged early in the morning, lasts till evening at best with normal outdoor usage (take outdoor heat into account too) and requires charging. Even with all the battery saving tips like underclocking and the whole routine. All batteries degrade over time, but if the battery is of minimal capacity from the start, and then degrades, and is non-removable on top of it all, then we have a problem. It's just careless to design a phone this way.

I agree that they should have used more common sense. Their ideal lab tests and battery life results don't match up to real world usage. Look at the Droid DNA. 2100 mAh. That's ridiculous. I don't fault them for making the battery non-removable, because the design of One X requires it and it looks nice. But they could have fit a bigger battery in the phone even if it means increasing the thickness by 1-2 mm. One X battery life is horrendous, and the worst part is you can't just swap in a new battery if it runs out, unlike the Galaxy S3. The Droid DNA/DLX/M7 is going to suck just as much as the One X at battery life because even though it has a bigger battery, the hardware is that much more power hungry. Honestly it seems like the only manufacturer who really knows how to make excellent quality phones with good design (may not be the best, but very good) and great battery life is Motorola. Don't get me wrong, I'm not praising Motorola. Far from it. They have really ****ty policies towards development communities. But they really make well built, well designed phones with adequate or more than adequate batteries. I'm not just talking about the RAZR Maxx. While that IS an exceptional example, a lot of their phones have great batteries. If Motorola could put such a huge battery in the RAZR Maxx without compromising on the design (it's just slightly thicker and heavier than the RAZR), then there's no reason and no excuse for HTC not to. Samsung also used common sense with the Galaxy S3 by including a 2100 mAh removable battery. HTC's characteristic flaw in the past 2 years has been to put ****ty, tiny batteries in all their phones and claim it's due to design constraints. Every HTC phone has a much smaller battery than an equivalent phone by other manufacturers. Another HTC problem is to include include very low intern memory even to their flagship devices. Nexus One, HTC Desire, HTC Desire HD etc. It's their fault they put in such low system memory, and then they don't update their phones because they say the internal memory isn't enough for the new version. Ridiculous. Not to mention their unwillingness to update perfectly capable phones to newer versions. What's with the One V not receiving Jelly Bean while the One X and One S do? It was launched alongside them, and never got even one official version upgrade. Whatever happened to the Open Handset Alliance and Google guidelines for Android updates?
I like HTC, I like their designs, their build quality, and the usability and general feel of their phones. But they're being a crappy company in their policies relating to updates and full unlocking of bootloaders, no doubt about that, and they're also being dumb by not included adequate batteries and enough system memory. Some would say that the low system memory is a deliberate move on their part to avoid updating older phones. Anyway, I'm happy to see that with newer devices like the One series, they're being sensible in this regard and partition memory isn't really an issue anymore. But seriously HTC, stop trying to suck so much. There's a reason Motorola isn't all popular and significant anymore, although they make nice phones like you. Get rid of your ridiculous policies and give us once more a killer, truly open phone like the HD2. The amount on development that is still happening with that phone is insane.
Rant done.

Exactly, the one-x has like a 20l fuel tank, thats the capacity of a motorcycle!

I don't see why people shouldn't be complaining.
When I first got my One X with ICS I barely used to get 8 hrs with a full charge with wifi on.
Now people come up with all kinds of ridiculous suggestions such as turn your auto sync off, keep your brightness at zero, uninstall facebook, disable maps etc. Why do all this? I might as well have a Nokia N series phone if I were to remove the smart from smartphone. Fortunately JB bought a massive battery improvement to my phone.
It would be a different thing if people were moaning after 14-15 hrs of battery life but with ICS I would struggle to get to even 5 pm on a normal day.
A customer pays a chunk of money to get these phones and if it doesn't even meet normal requirements, one has a right to complain.

Spot on. Also if they managed to fit a 2100 battery one the HOX+ why didn't they use it on the HOX because it fits perfectly. I switched from my Evo 3D. I still have the phone in perfect working order and excellent condition. I may start using it again because I can't stand charging my phone twice a day.
If HTC were clever they should have offered HOX owners a battery upgrade and bet they know the HOX has battery drain issues. I wouldn't mind paying for the upgrade either. Getting the S4 next.

I really hope that's true for most people. So far I'm seeing mixed reports about battery life with JB. I'm just waiting on HTC to release JB kernel source so that Faux123 can update his kernel and try porting his intellidemand governor to it. That thing does wonders on the Nexus 4 and Galaxy S3.

Exactly my point! It's just carelessness on their part. They didn't compromise on design with the One X+ at all. It has exactly the same dimensions as One X. There's no excuse for them to have not included that battery from the start. All the One X+ has is an over clocked processor and a bigger battery. They shouldn't even be allowed to release that as a completely new phone, trying to dupe their customers into believing that their phone is better than the One X. It shouldn't even be a new phone. The processor overclock should have come to the One X as a software upgrade if possible, and when HTC finally figured out that they can actually put in a larger, better battery, they should have honestly, like you said, offered a free or minimally paid battery upgrade for all One X users as an apology for screwing up the battery from the start. That's the least they could do as a responsible company. Rather, they release the exact same phone with enhancements that should have been there from the start, heavily promote it because of those essential enhancements, and earn more profit on it. What about the customers who not very long ago spent a lot of money on a phone that they expected to work just as well? Unethical, if you ask me.

battery life isnt to bad when using custom rom. i get easy a full day from 8am till 11pm and 2 hours screen on time. if i use it all the time i get around 5 or 6 hours screen on.
before custom rom it was half of that..

Is there something wrong with your phones? I have had my One X since start, and haven't had any drainage issues that weren't caused by an app I had installed. Only after hours of heavy gaming or navigation I have had to charge my phone during the day.

I was very skeptical about the battery when I jumped from the LG G2 as the G2 had amazing battery life. but the M8 is on par if not better in my opinion,,

I don't know if it's because the smaller screen or the snapdragon 801 or some software optimisations

Same here! I was worried coming from the Note 3 to the M8 with the smaller battery. I have kept any stats but my M8 makes it 24 hrs no problem.

I think it's an unfair assessment to just say it's meh. I came from the Note 3 which is probably one of the best batteries out there (mostly due to it's size) and it's holding it's own against that battery life, imo. I've never tried LG G2 or Xperia, but I know Note 3 regularly was at the top if not the #1 battery life phone. Most sites are rating it as above the Note 3, including Anandtech. Idk I think it's all about usage and time. You use a new phone more initially so I'll reserve judgment until I get into a regular flow with it.

OP has a broken M8.
Cancelled my online order and picked up my M8 Friday, been using it over the weekend in the same scenario as my G2.
Battery life is slightly better than the G2, which I ranked as having the most amazing battery life of any phone I've used next to my Note 2.

The battery life is "meh". Stop watching so much pRon. Lmao jk all jokes aside, the m8's battery is superior for only 2600mah. Thanks a ton to the energy effecient snapdragon 801. Anyway I wake up at 8 and don't plug it back in anywhere around 10-12 at night. That's heavy browsing, snap chat, xda (uses a lot of battery), 20 minutes or so of modern combat 4 and on top of that 90 percent of my day is on campus and I have horrible signal and still the battery is phenominal. you Might have a defective unit or have some rogue apps going crazy in the background

I'm curious as to what you are doing with the phone to kill it so quickly...

Coming from the og One and Nexus 4 the in the past 9 months I have to say the battery life has been awesome. With moderately heavy use I can very easily go a day and end up at 30-40%.

Not to be a **** but have you don't any searching to see what the issue may be before complaining? Use the tools at hand:
GSAM Battery Monitor
Wakelock detector
Built in battery monitor
Find what the issue is. Most likely its an app with a killer wakelock that you don't even know exists. I just switched to a N5 and am going to the M8 tomorrow and my N5 has slept better then any phone I have ever had because I haven't installed useless apps that sometimes have issues that cause locks.
There is a chance you have a bum device, chances are more likely that you have a bad app though
- this post was more intended at Juniorluna who surprising has only 1 post and its to complain about the One.... Interesting

another battery life issue

I'm sure this question has been asked before. But I'm coming from an iPhone so Neff help with this.
As soon as I start using the phone in the morning when it's connected to WiFi. Within a second of using it or 2 minutes if we're being realistic. The phone loses 2%. Is this normal ? Coming from an iPhone where 100% would last at least 20-30 mjnutes. I can't seem to find anything draining my phone either !

I think a longer observation period (a full day / through the night) will give a better idea of how your battery performs. Use the default power settings or other batter monitoring application like GSam Battery Monitor and compare it against other users here.

Had about 3-4 days worth this end will keep an update here. So far not bad been intense usage for about 2-3 hours lost about 25 percent. Could be worse

Well that's 3.5 hours of screen on time and you're at 45%. That doesn't look bad to me.

Okay just making sure I'm getting the full potential of the phone Lolz reviews kept saying 6 hours but that's assuming they let it get to zero

Any update?

Got nearly 20 hours off charge with moderate usage throughout the day with a mixture of WiFi and 4G. Turning power saver at 50. Phone had 33 per cent left by end of day.

Urban myths and old wives tales. Cycling the battery doesn't "improve" battery life on a Li ion battery. What you are possibly doing is making the battery meter more accurate (placement of the "high" and "low" flags that correlate voltage with "full" and "empty"). But its just a means of measurement, and this doesn't affect the battery life itself. Meaning, it doesn't "improve" battery life any more than messing with the fuel gauge in your car would increase or decrease the amount of gas in the tank.

This doesn't mean anything. The battery % is just an estimation based on battery voltage remaining versus how the phone "thinks" you are going to use it. Comparing 98% on Android versus 100% on iOS is apples to oranges. There is no standard for this, or reason to believe they are in anyway comparable.
As previously noted, 3.5 hours screen-on time with 55% drain (45% remaining) is very normal, even good. A lot of things affect battery life, not least of which is how you use your phone, and cell reception in your area. You will see a wide array of variance in the battery life people get. And since yours seems actually pretty good, I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks [emoji3] it was actually &37 percent but that's still pretty good with the battery save g options available I should be able to exceed a full day in the event of an unplanned night out !

To be fair, I feel like Apple designs their phone where their first 20% will take forever to drop but as soon as it passed that point it falls to 0. And yes I've seen it shut down at 10, turned it back on it's at 2. Where as this phone's last 15% seems to take forever to drop.

id say thats pretty good life outta the battery. the more you use it the more its gonna drain. and those getting like 6 hours of screen on time are strictly on wifi at an office or something. if your out roaming with LTE and the such your probably not going to get 6 hours...

Intense usage on 4g with lots of camera usage and uploads music and a few phone calls. So far so good! Had more than enough when I got home to leave without changing I case I needed it

I feel the M8, and my past Android phones take a disproportionate amount of time to drop the first few % as well. Maybe not as much as what you are mentioning for the iPhone (couldn't personally comment). May have to do with the saturation charge that occurs when the battery nears full (in fact, you should actually leave your phone on charge for some time after it says full).
Also, the battery meter on any phone is far from accurate. It often can't really be trusted with be within 5 or even 10%. So that would explain why you saw it "jump" down 8%.

Yeah my point was that all these phones' measure battery differently and not exactly accurate so you shouldn't compare Apple to oranges. Oh and the jump in percentages was referring to the iPhones. If anything Android tends to jump up when turned back on lol.

Question Should I get Pixel 6 or wait for 7

I am currently still using an LG G7. The only reason I'm considering a new phone is because my new situation requires me to use my phone a lot more. I was working from home the past two years and didn't think much about my battery life but now that I'm not, I probably drain to 50% before noon.
My dilemma is with the supposed P6 battery life issues I've been reading about on Reddit. Is this the exception or the rule? It's hard to gauge because I feel like most people that would post about battery life on Reddit would be more likely complaining than praising. So should I wait for the P7? Also, if I did the exact same activities on the P6P would I end up with less battery life at the end of the day compared to the P6? Thank you!

Welcome to XDA
My thoughts...
Replace the LG battery and be happy.
Lol, if it's got a 5000 mAh battery it's because it sucks juice like a 2nd st hooker.
Variable refresh rate displays are something of a menace, still. Android 12 is a menace

For what it's worth, I don't have any problems with the battery life on my Pixel 6 Pro. I know there have been many others who do, though, as you said.
I always treat my batteries gently, though. I only allow the battery to get down to 25%, I only charge it to 75%, I never, ever quick charge it, and I never charge it overnight.

Wait.

Like everything, battery life will depend on your usage.
I unplugged my P6P this morning at 5:15. It is now 11:45 and battery is at 86%. Most of that battery drop was while I was driving to work, car gets data by tethering through phone, and that draws a fairly continuous flow of navigation data, which while not a large amount of data, keeps the phone awake and drains the battery down.
I also run GrapheneOS, completely free of gooble crap, so that will obviously benefit the battery life substantially.
Unless you can get a real great deal on the 6, I'd wait on the 7. Just keep the old phone plugged in more and you should be able to drag it out long enough.

In case money matters, the Pixel 6 series is $200 off right now at the U.S. Google Store. Sale ends Wednesday.

Wait.
Better modem, better fingerprint sensor, face unlock for both models

Stay on G7 buy a new battery and don't get a Pixel.
You decide...

At least get a new battery, regardless you'll have a backup phone. That's a good thing.
You lose nothing by waiting if you can. Then pick the best phone by usability, functionality, and reliability. Does it fullfill it's mission, is it fun to use?
That's why I'm still running 2 N10+'s which I still highly recommend if running on 9 or 10. I haven't seen anything in over 2 years that would do what or how I wanted... I use whatever comes in handy.

I had the LG G7, gave it to my dad who still uses it now. I've owned/used a Pixel 4a, 4a5g and now the Pixel 6 pro. The 6 pro is the best phone I've used out of all of them. I have no battery issues on my 6pro, and it is much faster/nicer experience over the G7. I wanted a bigger screen and an updated/better software experience. The LG G7 on verizon is not getting any updates past Android 9 (not 100% sure?) So I went with an unlocked 6Pro.
Waiting is always going to be your best bet, but it also depends on what your biggest gripes are with the G7 besides the aging battery. If you can get a good deal on the 6/6 Pro or even a Galaxy 22 ultra they both have excellent software update guarantees and great battery. I predict however the difference between the 6pro and 7pro will not be that big and you won't miss out on much other than you having the feeling of knowing you have the latest phone. Look on Swappa site to find great deals now or close to when the 7pro goes on sale. Lots of people there that take good care of their devices looking to sell.

As someone that loves my Pixel 6 Pro, if you can wait then do it.
My biggest gripes with the phone are the modem, 1st gen tensor, and inconsistent fingerprint reader. I live on the cusp of 5G and it wreaks havoc on my battery. I have to turn off 5G when I'm home which is a pain in the butt. The 1st gen tensor also has a tendency to heat up when it's warm out. I've had the phone get super warm and thermal throttle a couple of times now in my first summer with it. My hopes are that the second gen is a little more resilient. Lastly, the fingerprint reader has been hit or miss depending on various screen protectors. Some films worked, some didn't. My first Whitestone Dome was more hit than miss, my second has been flawless but slooow.
All that said, I still love this phone. If you don't want to wait, or can't, then go for it. It has its' quirks, but it's still probably my favorite phone in a while. I'll likely trade up for a P7 Pro when it comes out.

wait until it is with good moderm and good heat managment

I just traded my OnePlus 9 Pro for a Pixel 6 Pro and I'm extremely satisfied.
Despite the bad rep I don't have any battery, fingerprint or heat issues. 9 Pro was an oven compared to the Pixel...
I had maximum 2h30m-3h SOT on 9 Pro but on the Pixel I can reach 5h-6h SOT with no issues and I'm a heavy user.

That's 833-1000 mAh!
If it was getting 350 mAh it get 14 hours SOT.
The heat falls in line to the power consumed.
Google Android is a mess across the board now.
It's not just Pixels...
These new phones should slaughter my N10+ and mind you this is with a battery nearing replacement so it's nowhere near 4300 mAh now.

They might just as well add a micro blower fan and a 10 Ah battery and call it done.

Ouch, that can happen. Just replace it when it gets to 80% of its original capacity, the end of it's useful service life to avoid a battery failure. That can damage to display or worse.
I expect a 1 year service life on a heavily used device especially if is used in high temperatures or is constantly under a high current drain. No big deal, just routine maintenance.
Many of the lastest Androids are hot running messes, not well balanced at all. The manufacturer shoving in a huge battery in masks the poor design but it's not a solution

For me this would even make less sense, because you get the same Tensor and the same crappy modem while you miss out on the main advantage of the P6P - the top camera.

The Google P6P is my first smartphone that can comfortably handle a full day of intensive photography on a day trip, along with looking at the map and recording the route, on a single charge, and still has some power left over.
