Hi guys im wondering who else have a really really battery life, it drops so quick :S
i have brightness low,and seems its draining fast. i tried stock for a little and seems it drops not so fast but still fast, i compare with my old evo and wow was a beast it can last tooo long before drop 1% and htc one X its giving me so much issues i tried insert one coin, and im now on leedroid (seems better) i have to get juice defender ( i never have to use) using hard my old phone (EVO 3D) drops like 50% in 4 hours of Hard use, 2.5 hours bluetooth headsetplaying music, some browsing, whatsapp, twitter and facebook. sometimnes drop 60% its not so bad, perhaps yesterday in almost the same time and doing a lot less drop from 70% to 0% idk what happening or if this is normal because screen? anyone has this issue?
or maybe we can do a "test" maybe playing a video for 30 min or something wifi on, just to test.
Maybe could be my radio? im using HK htc one X in mexico, the 3G works great perhaps could drain more battery?
Any help i will apreciate thanks a lot, i love the phone but this sucks
Regards
How long have you using HOX. I am getting 1 day of battery life after heavy use.
Have you tried battery test, or safe mode?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
i have +/- 40 hours, average use,
its like my sensation, with 1730mAh battery (well in my sensation with bricked kernel i have +/- 50 hours)
wow make me feel like my battery its faulty (hope no)
well i have been using for 1 day i hope last well the next days LOL my warranty its void due unlocked bootloader xD damn i hope works well i will try charge when the phone its off, i should try make a "battery tester" i mean maybe some benchmarks? like doing some stuff and see how much battery drops, decoding and so on maybe for one hour and compare between phones to see if you have issues or something, no one has done something like that?
Thanks a lot i really like the phone i hope its just something to get fixed soon
i really apreciate all comments, and make me feel bad lol i

screen on time?
Drain the battery completely and then charge for at least 8 or more hours, use the phone as normal and let it drain completely again and then charge for a minimum of 3 hours, after a couple of days it should last longer and if you can or need to upgrade to the latest OTA then do so.

well that is not really helping him is it. no point you telling him you getting that kinda of use of out the battery..it is like rubbing it in his face
but anyway 3g does drain battery specially if the signal is low and it is trying to find the best possible signal for you. only use it when you need it. same goes for wifi. for wifi i would have it to sleep when screen is off.
have a look in the battery stats thread and few people give tips in there on how to extend the battery life mate.

thanks, yeah i noticed some people have great battery life and i said NOOO WHY ME!!!! heh i hope its because battery its "new" but to be new sucks hard LOL, i have good signal, perhaps something weird i see its change from 3G to edge (i never had gsm phone on this carrier where im, i had a CDMA phone so idk if its normal, or signal sucks) so i figure out im having drop call just in 4:25
maybe coincidence idk maybe has something to do, any Radio to flash? or firmware? (safe and tested one please xD)
thanks a lot and i really apreciate all comments
thats why i love XDA

if i was you i would not let it drain completely..let it die down to say 5% i would then fully charge it like overnight. then go here install that apk and once you have fully charged let the battery drain again. once it drains to say 15% check what wakelocks you have. that will help you see where the issue lies and the battery gets drained..better explanation on the thread i gave you the link of mate

if your carrier still shows that you have updates then i would say do that as well mate. radio as far as i know we can not flash just as yet as we need s-off to do that so your best bet is the OTA if you are not on the latest firmware
Wait & see what the battery lasts like after a couple of days of charge & discharge, mine was poor on the first day.
I always try to charge mine up over night & my battery lasts on average 40 - 48 hours now.
The other day i had wi fi on & gps on read some of a book, 3 or 4 calls 5 messages & used a gps app for a while had just over 2 hours of screen on time & after 14 hours still had 60% battery left.
There is no reason why your phone wont get that after a couple of days, hope it is the case for you
Estoy orgulloso que tenemos mexicanos que tienen un One X
Hopefully as updates come, battery life will improve
I´ve been using the HOX for 5 days and it does get better after you run some cycles, but I still find it´s not as good as the battery life on the GS2 I used to have (I was running the Illusion rom).
With the GS2 I would leave the brightness at full blast, I would watch about 1 hour of video, I would use the calendar a lot, I would make a couple of calls and by 19h when I got home my battery would be around 80%. I do the exact same things on the HOX and I get a little less than 70% at the end of the day.

Have you tried running BetterBatteryStats?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
It may give you some idea of where the power drain is occurring. I've found it invaluable in the past where I've had battery drain and I couldn't see what was causing it.

Is this possible on phones with clockwork recovery? My phone turns on automatically when it's got some charge
Related
I was in a class that is from 7AM-11AM. The classroom has no signal whatsoever so at 7AM I put airplane mode on, didn't turn on Wifi, closed all open tasks and just for the heck of it turned off background data.
When I put all this into effect, I was at 91%. At 9AM I see that my battery went down to 81%. How is this possible? I was in airplane mode so nothing was synching or downloading, no programs were running in the background or anything at all. On my previous phone (Nexus One) under the same situation the battery would have been at 90%.
Phone Idle- 34%
Cell Standby- 30% (Time without signal 85%)
Am I missing something here? Can someone please elaborate why this went down so much for basically doing nothing.
Did you drain your battery completely the first 5 to 10 times charges, when you first got your evo? Many people claim that's how to he the maxium battery performance from your battery on any phone
Normal. I lose about 10% every 2 hours.

WOW... sounds like its your CPU thats still killing the battery??? You don't have it rooted or running any cutoms ROMs on it?
We SERIOUSLY need to get a UV kernel on here and underclock this thing when its asleep... So many battery drain issues.
Your issue is REALLY strange though.. I was in LA yesterday and mine didn't drop that fast for like 2 and a half hours... Very interesting......

This is bogus. Don't bother doing this. That was something that was needed back in 1999 back in the days of NiCad and NiMH batteries... It doesn't help LiIon one bit.

20 hours of battery life is pretty good. I think the record is like 62 with everything completely hacked down. I get about 4-6 in full on usage.

I understand that 20 hours of battery life is good but If I was using the device in those 2 hours I wouldn't be worried. But I wasn't, it was completely IDLE with all the radios turned off and programs killed (advanced task manager).

Deactivate any syncs you don't use. Make sure your phone is set to CDMA. See what processes your phone is running that are killing the battery and disable them.
I get about 27 hours on my battery.
I fixed the problem. I rooted 2 days ago (evening) after getting such bad battery life and I flashed Damage Control 3.0.
Today after 2 hours and 30 minutes of being under the same exact conditions as my original post (30 minutes more this time) with Airplane Mode, Wifi Off, Tasks Killed,etc I only lost 1%.
I went from 93% to 92% in 2 hrs/30 minutes which is a hell of a improvement in comparison to losing 10% in less time (2hrs) with the same exact circumstances.
I am extremely happy now. Oh and by the way, yesterday I got 14 hours of usage with this ROM which for me was unheard of before (4-5 hours)

i wish my batter life was that good. i have terrible battery life. i get about 5-6 hours before i have to charge up again. i hope its just software related and not the phone

If I didn't turn on my EVO it would look the same as well. Once I would turn it on though, that's when the game changed!
What I would like to see is people show their screen on time and how much battery they have left. That is the stat I am most interested in........I am thinking it is averaging about 3 hours of total screen on time...
I love the people that claim like 7 hours on screen time even with the EVO 3D. Do people really think this is believable with stock batteries that ship with the device.

Yeah, bad signal....might as well forget about that stat. lol
So if a GSM phone has bad signal, it won't be affected like a CDMA phone? If so, wonder why that is.
Here is the thread detailing the known battery glitch
There is no fix for the sprint version yet. Someone made a kernel for the international version that fixes it.
I returned my phone over this issue and I'm waiting for it to be patched before I can use it
Yesterday I kept my 4G radio on all day, sent texts, made a few calls, surfed the web, streamed Slacker and Spotify, checked FB and twitter, and hit 20% after 16 hours.
My stats for today.
Phone of charger for 13 hours and 47 minutes.
Screen on time - 3 hours 25 minutes.
Battery left - 9%
Used wi-fi, 4g, and 3g throughout the day. Screen brigtness set to 40%.
I'm getting a good solid 10-14 hours of use. I'll get 6-8 hrs if I'm pretty much using the phone nonstop.
Have you guys tried the battery calibration app from the market? A fellow xda member made it and it resets your battery scripts (needs root). I just did it this morning before I unplugged the phone since I flashed a new rom.
Battery life on this phone is so much better than the evo 4g. Stock battery life on this phone rivals my evo 4g with 3500mAh extended battery!
Please check the image. I. Bet you can say at what point i installed the update. And also you will notice that from that point my battery goes draining like crazy
Anyone also experiencing this too? Any solution?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
EDITEDITEDIT
Ive got New screenshots Please take a look at them. As you can see the drainage is still awefull. I have only used it for checking my screen and battery so just small screen time.
What does your percentages for usage look like? Does anything stand out as a cause? It would be good if I could see your percentages
most likely just the power drop while the phone was flashing the update, after a couple of charges you will be fine.

check the new screenshots
Sorry i only read English and bad English
As i said, you will be fine after a couple of charges.

I'm getting similar stats to you..
I only got my One X today and updated it straight away to 1.28, from a full charge i've dropped to 60% after 1 hour 15 mins screen on time! About 1 hour 30 mins since i unplugged it..
Should let it improve over a few charge cycles to see improvement.
Let the phone and the battery settle.
U`ll find improvement after 2 charges.

I hope you are right , about an hours browsing on the 1.28 update on a standard unlocked phone and I am down from full to 20% !!
Here's hoping the battery "beds in " a bit better
Can't understand why they didn't change the Nvidia.apk thing... Is it that hard ?!
I'm according to the fact that after 2-3 charges it will get better (not perfect, but better) good luck
as the title says how to inprove my battery
al litle guide what i am doing
no 3g
1-2 hours wifi

1/2 hours of games

Dont ask this.
Cm7 is set up to go to deep sleep after 10 seconds of the device beiing locked, 'normally' this is about 10 minutes, but battery life is the same, or its a bit less..
So thats only to not drain it even faster, and cm9 has this even more, maybe thats a reason why samsung doesnt give it to our gio's, it also has touchwiz, so battery life would be very very bad
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium
Actually battery life on Gio is not always bad because of ROMs (but ROMs of course sometimes are the main reason for it).
It's battery problem,and to be more exact,capacity problem.Stock battery capacity is something about 1350 mAh,there are batteries from third party vendors that have 1850 or something like that,I'm going to buy one of these,if I will be able to find it in my city of course
Also tried the battery improval script from here.It works,for real.All day with wi-fi,3G,screen on 100% when viewing something,and had an hour of gameplay in Angry Birds.Battery right now still keeps working,15%.
Cm9 gives me garbage battery life. I charge it during the night, take it off at 7 AM. No 3g (only when i need it), a bit of wifi, moderate texting all day, no games, some music in the morning on the way to school, at 5pm its practically dead. I used to get 50h battery life stock, now i get 18 if im lucky.
Its worth the sacrifice though!!

I dont get it.. I got the phone 3 days ago, but if Im lucky, the phone lasts for maybe 6-7 hours?
It gets extremely hot when used in couple of minutes, and its like the battery is drained by something hidden.
On a night it loses about 6-7% in 6-8 hours of standby with data etc turned off
I have turned push, sync, NFC, smart screen and all that "smart" stuff off.. so I have no idea bout what drains the battery. Even the screen is on 50% and auto -_-
I have the korean version (I think?) the european version - bought in Denmaek, stock. Not rooted or anything - but is it possible to root the EU/KR edition or is it only for the Canada/Sprint edition?
Same for me. Hes obviously not using hes phone much and not on LTE.
The battery life of G on LTE is really terrible.
By the way mo on arent hot last days, probably they fixed it.
Web via LTE eats like 15%-20% per hour, reading a book on small bright is 3%-4% per hour

Is there any way to tunr of LTE/4G then? I'd rather have good battery and like 20mbit than a few hours battery and 45-50mbit download speed .. :laugh:
Battery life is consistently around 11.5-13 hrs with moderate to heavy usage.
My battery is crap too sometimes is ok ..
but it is just screen what drains .. and + if u browsing internet and u have flash enabled it is big drainer added .. needs more cpu power..
if u put mobile on eco mode turn down screen to 25%-30% turn all radios off u should be fine
download apps like battery calibration . or battery stats or juice defender

I'm really not an expert at this. I have also just opened my Optimus G, so I can't share my personal experience with this phone. However, the battery of my Lumia 920 needed around a week to function properly. The first three days I got heating and drain, almost 10% per hour, but now the phone lasts easily for two days with light usage. I was looking everywhere on different forums for hidden factors draining the battery, until I found a comment, where someone described this phenomenon: he said that a battery needs around 12 full cycles of drain and full recharge before optimal performance can be obtained. So from now on I will be more patient.
Then again, I'm new here, so other opinions are welcome.
eeemm that is not true i had phones over years and batt been always same..
it is all about usage ..
jut do test charge it fully and dont do nothing with it just ocasional phone calls and sms's and ull see then..
Sent from my LG-E975 using xda app-developers app
For me on jb v03 I get around 18-19 hours with around 3 hours screen time, but agree its all about usage.
I mean if you leave your phone off most of the day with your wifi and data turned off it will drain very slowly..
I find the biggest drain is always screen, cellular connection especially when you have poor signal, and wakelocks.

I'm really not an expert at this. I have also just opened my Optimus G, so I can't share my personal experience with this phone. However, the battery of my Lumia 920 needed around a week to function properly. The first three days I got heating and drain, almost 10% per hour, but now the phone lasts easily for two days with light usage. I was looking everywhere on different forums for hidden factors draining the battery, until I found a comment, where someone described this phenomenon: he said that a battery needs around 12 full cycles of drain and full recharge before optimal performance can be obtained. So from now on I will be more patient.
Then again, I'm new here, so other opinions are welcome.

I had same xperience with my iPhone 5 so I hope its the same with my LG.
But for know I've installed JuiceDefender and disabled LTE (HSDAP+ i fast enough for my needs on the phone anyway)
exactly this is my problem ..
we traveling to the places while am in work and there are areas where is poor signal or no signal that means phone automaticaly boost its signal which is very big drain and if your mobile has no signal at all and u obviously set to automatic search it searching searching and draining hell lot!

this is true as well 4g signal is even stronger signal as previous 2g 3g drains so much plus when u surfing on the net!
when 4g will be standard the manufs will have to make new generation of batteries to stay last longer o LTE..

Phone idle is draining battery for me. Any suggestions?

I've already installed most of "LG" apps that were preinstalled on the phone.
Phone idle 28%
Screen 17%
Cell standby 17%

Phone idle refers to the amount of battery cell radios are using up when the phone is sleeping. I would recommend moving to an area with better reception and disabling data when unneeded.
Data is disabled (and wifi).
battery life is fantastic, i get roughly 5 hours on screen time, when i finish work i have 70 - 80% battery with 1.5 hours screen time
My battery life on CM.
Disappointed kinda, expected great improvement compared to stock rom
After few weeks of heavy usage, I am noticing the battery performance to improve considerably, I'm running stock 4.1.2. V10D
