The battery backup is neither too good nor too bad.
for normal users it mush have a day or so.
I watched 720p video for a continuous period of 5 hrs and the battery drain was from 100% to 22%, i could have watched 1hrs move or so.
so i hit it

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!

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!

yup .. im having the same problem ... and i tried the tips concerning this, not really useful ...
unlucky us -_-
Hey guys,
So I just moved from iPhone finally, first few days with the G3 and I'm wowed of course, my only concern is that I expected the battery to be a lot better, of course it's better than the iPhone, but I did not expect it to drain so fast, first few % goes slow but then it drops fast, and I'm not doing anything special or massive use, brightness set to auto, and it's trickle charged, I dropped to like 20% after 2:20 hours of screen use.
So my question, is that what I can expect from the G3 because of the massive resolution? or it's just on the beginning?
Would love to hear from your experience! any tips would be cool!
Thanks!
Its because of the qhd screen, better screen, more battery drain, if u root u can adjust a few things to help a little, mine isent to bad
My first 10 percent drop I can get almost a hour of screen time, barely 2 1/2 at 50%. Thinking of returning this for the M8..

This is true, but because you're a new user, I'd highly recommend not rooting for a while, until you've worked out the kinks in your phone. You can set the brightness to a certain percentage, and then auto-brightness uses that percentage as a base and will not let the screen go lower than that level. As for apps that can help you out, I use and highly recommend this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antutu.powersaver
You can select 3 different levels of saving, and I seem to get around 20% more battery life when use it. Or you can look for anything else along those lines. LG also has some built-in tools to help keep your battery going. There's the built-in battery saver option: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-use-battery-saver-lg-g3
There's also a few other things, this site covers it pretty well: http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-g3-help-tips-and-tricks
Anyways, hope that helps, and welcome to the family!
Hey thanks for the help guys!
I will definitely try some of the suggestions, and also considering to root it.
Does it get better with time tho? I mean this is just my 3rd of 4th cycle.
Thanks again guys!

Yes, usually takes a few circles to the battery to settle down. Mine at the beginning was draining fast too but now I'm getting almost 5 hours of screen on time. That's pretty good in my opinion. I use my phone a lot and by the end of the day I'm over 30%. My gs4 was over way before that.

My battery was terrible the first week. It's gotten much better since. So it will calm down after a bit.
Sent from my LG-D851 using XDA Free mobile app
My battery was horrible the first week on my g2 but seems better on the g3, I don't think it will get better than this and if it does that's awesome!
I also feel like it doesn't use as much battery when screen on as my g2 did.
Hiii.....i dont own this device but i think i'll soon.
I just wanted a detailed battery test of this phone....
Help me guys!!!

If you can tell me how to do a detailed battery test, I'll do one for you. But in the meanwhile, this is my battery log for the last day after charging to 100%.... It's now at 5%..... Screen on would tell you when I've actually used the phone.

Thanks buddy :laugh:
It took 3+ hours to full charge from 0% and discharge in 10+ hours not good hope android l give more battery backup mobile heat's while charging also on heavy gaming
Got a Note 4 with Lollipop on it. Battery life doesn't seem to great. I don't do much of anything that is very intensive and get about 4 hours SOT and my phone is almost dead by the end of the day. My HTC One M8 was better than this. Checking wake locks the biggest wake locks are NipWakeLock and Google App/Google Quick Search Box. Any solutions or is this just a poor implementation of Lollipop? Are there any ROMs out there with better battery life or optimizations? All suggestions and advice is welcome. Thank you XDA community!
I also had horrible battery life since I upgraded to Lollipop. I downgraded yesterday and battery life is awesome once again. I can go a full day without connecting to the charger.
Hi guys,
i only got my Mate 20 X (International Version) since last night. I wonder if some of you here know a bit more on the average battery impact between the Always-On display and without it.
I would like to use it, but only if its not too much affecting battery life.
Thanks in advance.

Very little effect. I have it on all day and most of the night.
