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.

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.
I know there are loads of threads about the HTC ONE X battery but I really could not find a proper answer to my question so im starting a new thread. So I have had my 1X since last thursday, just over a week now and the battery life has been utterly horrible. But the worst thing is that the battery life is getting drastically shorter and shorter every day. Now its unbearable I cant even use the phone. I wonder if it might be because I did not do any 'first time battery charge'?. I just booted the phone instantly instead because honestly I did not know that you had to charge the battery before booting the phone the first time. The first time I started the phone it had just over 40% of battery and I used it until the phone shut off and charged it 100% after that while it was updating to the newest software. Is this perhaps the reason why the battery life is so god damn horrible and even worse than other 1X's?. When I charge the phone 100% it drains 1% of battery or more every minute now just when browsing the menu or the web or just doing nothing but putting the screen on. The screen brightness setting is on automatic and I have tried all kinds of battery savers and now im using juice defender ultimate still the battery life is horrible. I kill and close apps all the time and have nothing running in the background when not using it and I always turn off wifi when not using and I turn off auto sync and all the other battery eating tasks and stuff. Still I cant use the phone. When its 100% charged at about 8:00 in the morning the battery is done for at around 10:30 with moderate use. I cant get more than about 3 hours of on screen time before the battery is finished so basically what should I do? Is this normal?

And if you'd have read the other threads that you said don't apply to you you'd realize that because your phone is still new battery life will improve with more charging cycles. If you expect more than 3 hours on the low-end or five on the absolute high-end of screen on time the One X isn't for you. Because of the non-replaceable battery (which shouldn't be a surprise) a lot of us have auxiliary battery chargers for getting through the day when the phone can't be topped up on AC power. Speaking for myself, the design of the phone is what attracted me to it and the non-replaceable battery is a trade-off I accepted. That might not be a trade-off everyone’s willing to accept and the One X isn't going to win any battery life awards.
Autobrightness seemed to cause my battery to drain. Turned it off and its much better (or seems that way for now)

Charging your battery when you first get it does absolutely nothing. Wiping battery stats and callibrating also do absolutely nothing.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Upload few screens of your battery usage so we can see what is causing such drain. I can tell you already now the screen is the main battery drain. A phone can barely survive 4 hours of heavy usage, especially not on automatic brightness.

Yeah ill do that, how do I take a screen shot? Powerbutton + homebutton thing doesn't seem to work for me :S. Today for example iv'e charged the phone 3 times and after the 2nd charge I used to phone for 5 hours and 25m until only a few % of the battery was left. I had juice defender ultimate up and running most of the time and screen time was at around a bit over 2 and a half hours. All I did was some web browsing and mostly menu browsing and setting browsing on the phone and some xda developer browsing with the app. No gaming whatsoever. Really horrible battery... such a pity considering how much I love the phone otherwise. Its no problem when im at home connecting it to the computer with the usb cable all the time but when im actually using the phone outdoors its frustrating as sh*t.
It doesn't really matter what you are doing, you will only get around three hours of screen on time.

Have you tried easy battery saver, started using it on my HOX over 30HRS ago browsing, video calls and still have 33% life left. If it doesn't work I suggest you return for a replacement. Could be factory defect.

Sounds like a lemon, have it replaced asap. HOX is the only android device I had that gets me through the day w/o charging doing basic stuffs (data always on etc) like what normal people do. I've had sleepless nights last month because my 2-week old GN got pick pocketed battery life for GN in my case was horrible (5 hours).
how do you know if your battery is defective? i'm getting around the same battery life myself :/
This is why unreplaceble batteries suck. I wish I'd bought the s3 instead still though I love the HOX only if the battery was a bit better ffs. Im getting a little bit better battery today but with loads of tweaks, still some 'untweaked' hoxes get better battery lives, still though it seems like there are loads of one x's that have the same issue as I do. Does this mean all one x are different or what?

Took a gamble on this device not Initially liking the sealed batt idea.
Well htc did something right for a change I'm getting 6 am to 11pm battery life on heavy use stock rooted.
Def iphone comparible batt life.
Maybe its a well tweaked kernel
Maybe htc new they had a one shot chance to get it right "being sealed unit"I dunno
But pleased with it for sure,, it doesn't drain in front of your eyes like every other htc device does.
I remember evo would drop 15% after first ten min.. as did most htc phones not the hox
ANYONE ELSE SEEING SAME?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
My One X isn't rooted but I have exactly the same as you.
Today I've played all day with the rom and wifi + IM enabled from 0600am till 1400pm and still I have 50% battery. I'm very satisfied with this result.
Yesterday I was listening to music with my BT stereo headset for about an hour and only 8% battery it took. The musicplayer I use is PlayerPro and I kept the screen on all the time.
Another program that can save a lot of battery if you configure right is Profile Scheduler+
I think it's the choise of apps plus the more you charge the better it gets, because at beginning when I bought my One X I was worried about the battery but now it's ok.
Yes all I know is I charge one of two ways I toggle data off before charging or I charge hox off completely.
Set the screen time out to 15 sec
I believe wifi usage helps also all in all trust me I use both android and iphone not to debate the two but this phone seriousally has same batt life quality
Maybe its hit n miss I don't know
Ill be trying a tweak made for the screen brightness its a zip file that has the brightness framework tweaked which is suppose to even further better the batt life

What sort of screen time are you getting, to last from 6am to 11pm I'd only be able to use 1.5 hrs max...that's medium usage for me. 3 hours screen would need charging by 7pm I rekon

i can get 12-13 hours with 3-4 hours screen time.
Wish I could say the same myself, mine drains around 1% a second with the screen on just browsing the internet, thats with a custom rom and kernel and manual brightness
I must of got one with a crap battery xD
well take it easy there
right now I had my device with WiFi on for one hour screen on and 4 hours since charge, still 75% which us great
but let's use Tegra3 or the quads in THD games or Antutu, n it will deplete like crazy
Getting fantastic battery on mine as well here is yesterdays results!
Phone was used as and when needed!
Text messages, facebook, twitter, web browsing and 5 short phone calls! more than happy.
left house at 8am and never got back till after 11pm last night and still had more that 20% left.
3 hours 44 mins screen time could of got to 4 hours plus easy with the last 20%
100% stock not rooted. Auto brightness.
EDIT today so far 7 hours since unplugged 30 + text messages a little web browsing/twitter/facebook 46 mins screen on time 79% still left.
I've been trying Franco's Kernel recently. Prior I was running ARHD 6.0 which is in essence a more efficient stock and I think i was getting battery life than I am now. The battery life really is great. I was getting home with 3hrs 30mins of screen time after being out for over 12 hours and getting home with 30% battery life still. Got the screenies somewhere. Really is a great battery life. So much better than the Desire HD I had before!
This was before my results -
Insertcoin v5.x.x
Eternity Kernel by kholk
Browsing for a solid 3 hour (plus a couple of text and calls) + 1 hour using gameboid and still 12% left to listen to music. Was travelling!
Hi,i see the topic of the battery stats,but this is a little different:how much is your average battery life?I don't want to know what's that consume a lot of battery. what that is real important is the daily use.
For this I made this poll
I hope that this will be usefull for all
I can miss a night's charge and still have some juice left, with an average of around 1-1,5 hours of screen on time
I'm quite happy with mine to be honest, contrary to people having problems I haven't had one. Battery is currently running at about 4 and a half hours. I do have a lot of the bloat ware turned off though, and I don't mind minimum or auto brightness. But I do spam the browsers and plume and tasking widgets though. I prolly get around 24 hours of battery too. Have gone longer but average around 15 hours before I stick the charger in. Still have around 30 battery when I do though as I very rarely get down to 20%.
Sorry for the ramble, but I really am quite happy with me little phone

According to the Poll, the battery live rocks on One X.
@Op, what do you mean with battery live?
How much it will last in years or about the duration in hours?
I think I get great battery life with my HOX (latest firmware). I'm usually at 40% around 17hrs or so regular use. Heavy use I get about 9hrs. I also have an HTC Inspire and that thing died way faster.

With normal usage the battery lasts around 48 hours.
Think that's pretty decent.
DroidLife; HTC One (M8) Review
http://www.droid-life.com/2014/04/07/htc-one-m8-review/
Battery life sucks on the M8 ?
HTC claims that the new One (M8) could see upwards of 40% better battery life over last year’s M7, but I’m not I’m buying it. I saw average battery life in my testing on the 2,600mAh battery that wasn’t necessarily greatly improved over last year’s One. My testing typically includes multiple days in a row of nothing but 4G LTE, followed by a few with WiFi mixed in. On 4G LTE-only days, my phone was almost always begging for a charger after 10-12 hours of use and around 3 hours of screen-on time.
Per this review they say battery life is average at best, and not that good, only getting 3h On Screen time, and overall just like 10h - 12h of total battery life on the phone, and with WiFi on they get 14 hours total battery life.
I thought all the real world reviews of people, and other sites were raving about the battery life on this new One M8 ? getting like 5h to 6h On Screen time ?
That review was either based on bad 4g reception, or the reviewer was flat out lying. Also , what is "multiple days in a row"? That's not very scientific. Very bad reviewer in my book
I get very good o2 4g reception, but mostly use WiFi or no data. I have 30 percentage charge left when I go to bed and I get about 4.5 hours screen on.
Can't imagine why anyone would want 4g on all day long but to each their own. Personally I only use 3g on the go unless I really need super speed.
AnandTech's device reviews are the only ones that matter and they saw upwards of 70% improvement in battery life.
For me, the M8 battery is lasting at least twice as long as the M7. First phone I've had in a long time that can last in excess of 48 hours with my normal usage
Right now my battery stats say 1 day, 17hrs: 4h 28m screen on. The battery is currently at 48%
After reading more about that DroidLife, they seem very pro Samsung #1, and then Nexus devices #2, and anything else just sucks. Also one of the reviewers is known to be an HTC hater, per the comment section of regulars on that site.
Clearly they haven't used the M8 everyone I know is getting 4-5+ hours screen time.
The reviewer is flat out lying and a tool. Every other review says it's good and we all know it's good from owning and using one.

This was after my 3rd full charge/discharge cycle. 6 days on just reg power saver and light use.
It's all subjective... I get some 3 to 3.5 hours screen on time with auto brightness. I also have lots of apps background syncing and waking up the phone constantly. So it all depends on how you set up your phone, number of apps, usage criteria. So good battery life for one person may not be the same to other.
So no point to argue on battery life good or bad.

Good point, but for me 3h to 3.5h On Screen time would be extremely disappointing. I use my phone a ton during the workday, and realize I need at least 5h On screen time minimum, perfect for me is more like 6h On Screen time. I need a phone to last a full solid day, from like 6:00am to 10:00pm.
Coming from the Nexus 5 my battery life has been stellar in comparison to what it was. I'm very happy so far.

Lol, whoever wrote that review is taking out their ringpiece. I've had my m7 for 8 months and now my m8 for 2 weeks and the battery life is tons better.I don't have to carry a battery bank in my pocket anymore. When I take my phone of charge and stick it in my pocket it will stay on 100% for least 2 hours if I don't use it.my m7 would drop down to 94% in that time. Don't listen to stupid reviews like that. He is probably an Apple lover who is gutted that his once awesome device is now being overshadowed by an android phone AGAIN.
Depends on how you use the device. Anandtech and other sites show heavy use in weak signal areas can drain any device.

I'm rocking both the n5 and m8 right now, and this is totally a subjective statement without any real numbers, but I find myself plugging in the n5 a lot more than the m8. I am using the m8 more now because I like it more and the n5 still drains away just sitting there. The m8 is on verizon and the n5 is on tmobile, both have good reception in the area. I feel like I could comfortably use the m8 for 2 days and 1 night until I would want to put it on the charger. I'd estimate that I use about 2-3 hours screen time, 1-2 hours talk time and <1 hour navigation per day. Just my opinion based on real world observations, I'm not really interested in detailed usage tracking or anything like that. It works great and I'm going to keep the m8 and ditch the n5 when the month is up.

I dont know about this reviewer... The battery life to me is incredibly good. I can stream 4g/3g music through spotify while working a full day(around 8-9h playtime), while snapchatting, while texting(regular texts) and while texting in Kik and also using the internet for other things.
Without power saver, and using Greenify to prevent most wakelocks, I'm avergaing 7-9 hours screen on time with 10-15% charge remaining when I go to bed the second night.
