We're not talking about a gaming laptop here.....which you should be running off the power adapter.

We're talking about a smartphone, which i'm pretty sure.....is designed to be run off the battery.

And your arguments make no sense at all..........Razr Maxx?? slim phone and it has a 3300mah battery. I don't think there are any excuses anymore to battery size when Motorola came out with the Razr Maxx and a 3300mah battery while keeping a thin 9.xmm profile.
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
Are you serious? You know the screen on the One X is over an inch larger? As stated above and you obviously chose to ignore, the SCREEN is the biggest battery drain.
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
I am just doing a test that HTC have asked me to do.

Charge to 100%, set airplane mode, screen to always on / never turn off and 100% brightness.

If after 30 minutes the battery is under 85%, HTC have said themselves, it's faulty.

That's acknowledging the device is not fit for purpose.

We shall see. Got 20 minutes left.

Atleast it might shed some light on what is actually causing the ridiculous drain.
[HTC One X] Superpiper1972:
I'm just saying big pocket computers with 4 cores and big screens consume power more than a little one with a LCD screen lol

The answer though, is that if your device is unable to satisfy your power needs, then go swap it for something else less capable. The One S (If you want to stick to HTC/Android) would seem a better bet for you tbh.

Or go and buy an Iphone/Nokia

Horses for Courses.

If your argument is that for the device itself, the HOX is relatively power hungry, thats a different argument. Perhaps it is, although most review praise its abillity (Relative to its screen size) to keep charge.

Also, Batteries take a while to settle down.
[HTC One X] Ruudfood:
I would say that if many others are NOT experiencing the same problem as you then the problem is likely to be specific to your device. Maybe you shold look at getting a replacement.
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
Unfortunately, there are others on here with the same problem if you read about. Got everything crossed for us that it's the 1.26 software.

Be interesting to see what my battery life is like in ten mins time to rule out the screen being a culprit.
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
Well, it was their choice to run 4 cortex-a9 cores. They could've opted to use a newer core on a smaller fabrication process which would be faster and use less energy while producing less heat.

It's also more of android itself not being exactly the best for battery. Switch to a smaller android phone, do whatever you want...your still going to get mediocre battery life.

If it's a pocketable computer as you say.....why not match it with a larger battery?

But anyways....One X battery looks like it can be improved with software
[HTC One X] Basil3:
When you say you get 3 hours usage, do you mean 3 hours screen on time? I think this is very reasonable.

My sensation would only get 2.5-3 hours screen on time, and only increased to 4+ hours when running custom ROMs with an Anker battery.
[HTC One X] schriss:
What? :)

It's the OS that needs to know your battery parameters, like lowest and highest voltage and discharge curve. Getting this information is called "Calibrating". Only when having this info your phone (Android OS) can show correct battery level. Otherwise you could see 5% left where actually it would be like 25% left.
[HTC One X] Basil3:
I'm a bit dubious about some of these calibrations, but sometimes battery reading is definitely way off. Yesterday, after I picked up my phone, I used it a bit on the way home. About a minute after the 15% warning came on, my phone died. By died, I mean completely dead. No kind of charging light came on until it had been on charge for at least 15 mins, and even then it went to flashing orange light and wouldn't turn on until some time after.
[HTC One X] willexmen:
I got 3 hours of total time, which if remember right, 1.3 hours was screen time.
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
Did HTC's test. Started with full charge.

Brightness 100%, no screen time out , Airplane mode on.

Left it for 30 minutes. Was left with 90% battery.

So only a 10% drain when the screen was on fully for half an hour at max.

The battery drain issue is NOT related to the screen, it's somewhere else in the software.

My conclusion is that it could well be the 1.26 bug and fixable.
[HTC One X] willexmen:
OK. So i just took some pictures right after i charged it for 5 hours. Took 9 pictures, under the time of 9 minutes. WIFI, sync etc off. 3G on and screen on 40%. I loosed from 100% til 93%. Under 9 minutes and 9 pictures!

Seriously, this can not be right. I know taking pictures is power draining but this i just to much. 7 % under this short time and nothing else eating battery.

If anybody, who consider himself having sort of a good battery. Test, under 9 minutes, takes some random pictures while screen is on. And see what you get. Would be nice to compare.

I'm going to try the "HTC Test" later and see i much my battery will drain.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Just wondering, what menu is screen time under? Also, how the hell do I take screenshots :S On my Milestone I just held the power button :P
[HTC One X] H-Cim:
I just did 13 hours active use (57 % screen) and still had 34 % battery left. The battery is quite good, the update will probably make it great.
[HTC One X] Mr_Twist:
But than again Razar Maxxx does not have the same tech components as the ONE X has. I agree they should have paid more attention to the batter but the new T3 should help the battery though.

---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

How much did you use it, heavy use or light use?

What software version do you have 1.26.xxx?

What area do you live :)
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
Screen time is on the battery screen in the settings menu.

Snap shot is hold power button and push the Home button.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Oh didn't realise you had to press screen to see :P

1h 57m 4s screen on time with 20% left - first charge, brightness up full the entire time. Did that on purpose to compare tomorrow on 40%
[HTC One X] H-Cim:
Medium to heavy use (new-toy-syndrome), I live in Belgium.

Software : 1.26.401.2

PS : Only second time I charged him, so battery hasn't reached max capacity yet. Will post tomorrow a screenshot of the battery use.
[HTC One X] r_a_c:
Got some problems with the % of battery. Seems not always accurate. Sometimes a see a certain % an few minutes later it drops like 7%. Or a certain % just keeps staying at that level and all of a sudden it drops again.

Some % seems longer than others.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Stats
[HTC One X] schriss:
That's what battery calibration helps with. Run few full charge discharge cycles and it should get better.
[HTC One X] H-Cim:
Could you tell me how you charged your phone from the start ? (How long, using it or not, how much % left when charging battery ?)

Thanks!
[HTC One X] schriss:
I forgot: you can use Battery Monitor Widget, its brilliant, shows lots of battery details including discharge curve.
[HTC One X] Mr_Twist:
Thanks for the reply

You seemed to have a good battery experience with yours as other people with software version 1.26.xxx not having good battery life with theirs.

I have got a feeling that this could be the first batches and a few countries might be affected.
[HTC One X] r_a_c:
I charged it 3 times now, all from 0 to 100 %. First time used it a little while charging. Other 2 times not.

Like for example now it stated 45% but the 45 is there to long to be correct, i just know.

Also it uses alot in standby, like 13% for 8 hours earlier this day. While other say theirs is 100% after an hour. And my syncing is off.
[HTC One X] H-Cim:
I think it has much to do with the way you charge it the first times, I've read it is insanely important to NOT let the battery drop to 0-10 % on purpose. Just charge it every evening no matter how high it is (did the same with my HTC Desire). I read repeatedly on the internet(z) that a Li-Ion battery literally dies if you let the battery reach low %.

Every day I charge the phone this way and the battery gets better and lasts longer.
[HTC One X] Allexz:
Tried pretty much the same thing as you did, i took about 10 pictures during 6 minutes and lost 6% battery from a full charge. Basically 1 % per picture...

I am doing the "htc test" now and we'll see how that will go.

However i still think loosing 10% charge in 30 minutes is completely insane. That leaves you with 5 hours of time just staring at it, actually running apps and games would give you what... 3 hours?

I am insanely happy with the experience of the One X so far, however the battery thing worries me, alot.
[HTC One X] acke999:
did exact ame test and wth got same as you
[HTC One X] Basil3:
Bear in mind this is at 100% brightness. A combination of getting over the initial non-stop playing with your phone, along with software updates/custom ROMs, this phone will easily last a day - which is all you ever really need it to do.
[HTC One X] willexmen:
I'm doing the HTC Test right know. Actually i must say that i did have better battery life today, first, from 100% to 80% it went away really fast. Now i'm at 35% and think i have 3 hours screen and i have played around and ,downloading and installing heavy games. At certain percantage it seem to go slower. Total times is still only like 4 hours. It's still unacceptable. You need to have you phone working atleast 12 hours.

Ill come back when i tested the HTC test.
[HTC One X] schriss:
Don't worry, the phone prevents that. You see 1% but in reality there is more. But yea, it's good to have it charged more rather than less.
[HTC One X] willexmen:
I'm done with my HTC Test. In about 30 minutes of flight mode and screen on with brightness at 100%. I got from 35% to 23%, so i lost 12%. I mean, it's a lot for having your phone basically just there. Nothing on, except the screen.

I really hope the update will fix the battery issue!
[HTC One X] Basil3:
This phone will easily last 12 hours if you're not constantly on it. I would imagine the average person who travels an hour to work, browses for an hour or so and listens to some music on the way, works a full day and then does the same on the way home, would still have about 40% battery left after about 12 hours.
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
After first charge (I might have cheated a little bit on that), I have had about 5-6 hours of almost constant playing, on full brightness and the battery is down to 24%.

Not too shabby, and I expect it to improve
[HTC One X] Superpiper1972:
Oddly enough,

I tested my 6month old XE today for battery times.

I got 3.5 hrs of screen use and 15hrs uptime one its full charge today.

On-time involved mainly heavy internet use and data streaming.

Standby time on WiFi/carrier

Screen set to low-Auto

Not bad all in all...

A very nice posting from my ARHD XE

Are you sure you are not trolling?

A very nice posting from my ARHD XE
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
That was the point I was trying to make before. The HOX is touted as having more power saving tech with the screen and CPU, but that isn't the case as things stand. It's got to be a software issue.
[HTC One X] masrterk:
Every phone have this problems ,

even a old HTC touch pro or HD if you use a lot the battery will drain fast

old HTC device and other phones

HTC HD

GPS about 4h

Web 5h

games 4H

youtube or HD movie 3 / 4 hours

To solve the problem

use less the phone and you will have at list 1 day use or

2 days with less use about 30min internet and call or sms

Use less the phone

disable 3G conection and reduce britness to lower levels

is not the phone is the insane usage

it happen with every phone if you play lots of games , net or Gps

For normal use HTC one X should last 1 or 2 days (normal use) basic
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
Play lots of games? lol

You won't even get an hours worth at the current rate, and the phone overheats if you game with it plugged in on charge so the whole Tegra 3 is kind of pointless.

---------- Post added at 11:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 PM ----------

lol heh

Why is it that when someone has serious issues with a devices battery life they are automatically trolling, EVEN when several reviews state the very same thing?

Reviewers are trolling too I suppose. Everyone is a troll.

Snippet from a review I am praying is true.
[HTC One X] masrterk:
im waiting for My one X , and e will compare with my older phones

One X should last 1 our 2 days of normal use

in my other devices

last 1 day with net and gaming or Gps

2 days with normal phone usage calls and sms 15/30min Net

so its the same for HTC one X
[HTC One X] MaXmeOliver:
This is the only thing that's stopping me from buying it. One person says that it's great, another says that it's good. Gaaah
[HTC One X] masrterk:
And its great , can´t wait for may new HTC One X

http://www.technobuffalo.com/companies/htc/htc-one-x-review-four-cores-of-awesome/

the battery is good ,

iphone or galaxy nexus with normal use internet , games , gps last 1 day

or 2 days this calls and sms

HTC one X is no exception even with a better battery 2 days will be good

for insane game or internet or video 1 day its ok

every one knows that games are battery drain or movies

so what is the problems ? 4 hours with games or movies is not bad

Tegra 3 is energy saving but not with insane graffics and games or movies

with normal usage the phone will survive for 2 days i think , by the specs and compared to other phones is exactly the same ..

thanks
[HTC One X] nativestranger:
Thats shocking! I am not sure if i want to upgrade to a one x after seeing this. My sensation xl would have 75% left after 2hrs 16mins screen on using browser and xda and it doesn't even have fancy 5+1 power saving technology, ics or a 1800mah battery.
[HTC One X] leith51:
Regarding battery life I did a reboot at 49% from that point my battery stats reset I don't have screen shot but I'm on 11% typing this screen on 60% total 3 hours 26 mins since reboot phone been on 7 hours 27 mins phone was sat doing nothing from 14% to 12% approx time 2 hours graph shows flat line

WiFi on xda use browser calls sms reckless racing 20 mins draw something 30 mins playing around with phone played some music took pics video etc etc list goes on and this is in the last 7 an half hours from the 49% reboot

Hope this info can give you some idea of battery life

Gf one x moderate use from full charge 43% left 9hours

Edit both phones using auto brightness and auto sync

Firmware 126.110.5
[HTC One X] fi3ry_icy:
i have the exact same problem..

the phone stays at a percentage of charge while charging for way too long...

in fact, my unit always takes forever to increase displayed battery charge at 2 points,

1) from 50% upwards to 60%

2) from 80% upwards to 100%.. in this case, it usually hovers for very long, then goes up a few percentages, then at around 92%, it will hover again, then shoot all the way up to 100%..

---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 AM ----------

i've always had the belief that the phone out of the box, should be charged at least till it reaches full capacity before it is switched on?

and for a new phone, we should at least run it down to low battery before we charge it, at least for the 1st one or two runs?

im getting very very confused with how to prime the battery in new phones with so many conflicting instructions/recommendations.. :(

[HTC One X] DaveDesire:
I haven't got the phone yet, mine should be here Sat, but I've seen people mention the problem with the camera on burst mode.

You can see in dwd3885's at 5:20 that burst was held down for around 6 clicks but only 2 photos were taken.

Is this a bug on all of the devices? If so, that's pretty bad from HTC in fairness to the trolls.

[YOUTUBE]bVLUhiQGJEE[/YOUTUBE]

Anyone confirm? :(
[HTC One X] ShyamSasi:
Here is mine
[HTC One X] BeciMester:
For what it's worth, my 2 year old Desire shows 18h 37m 5s on battery at 19%, display on for 3h 45m 54s, Wifi scanning was on (forgot to turn it off in the morning), 3G syncing 5 gmail accounts, and a fair bit of XDA app/web browser usage as you can tell from the screen time.

And my battery life was awful at first, too. New toy syndrome (my 1st touch phone) and it died within 4 hours from first full charge. It slowly, gradually got better, over the course of nearly 2 weeks, until it reached peak performance, and since then it's pretty much the same, I can't really say it got worse.

If the 1X can pull off the same I'm a happy camper. :D
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
The clicks don't even vaguely relate to when photos are taken; it appears to just be a generic "burst shutter" sound effect. I've noticed that in other reviews as well. Likely an easy fix if HTC can be bothered.

The actual capture frame rate, according to HTC, is five frames per second for I believe 99 frames. If it's like most cameras, that's an approximate rate; it will vary on either side of the target figure, but should at least stay reasonably close to it if HTC is providing an accurate estimate.

In the video, the burst shutter noise would imply a frame rate of about 7.6 frames per second. I'd say from listening in Adobe Soundbooth, there are eight distinct "shutter clicks" in a period of almost exactly one second (1.05 seconds, by my estimation, although it's a little hard to be precise as he's talking over it.

I've also read that the camera is a bit laggy starting video capture, so it may be that it's also laggy starting still image burst shooting, as well.
[HTC One X] schriss:
Reviews mention that shutter noise doesnt have much to do with real frame rate, the sound suggests higher rate than it really is.
[HTC One X] H-Cim:
Don't let it stop you. I have no real issues with the battery, it easily lasts a day with medium use.

Considering there are still a lot of bugs which drain the battery faster and the battery isn't optimized yet (takes about 5 recharges before it reaches full capacity). I expect the One X to easily last a 18 hours with heavy use!
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Interesting, I hadn't read a review that picked up on that actually, but there are a lot of them out there and I haven't read half (most?).

This is something I really hope HTC sorts in later firmware; it's nonsensical to have the camera suggest it is taking photos when it isn't.
[HTC One X] Basil3:
Man some of those battery stats are crazy.

I've been on my phone constantly for 2.5 hours, watched an episode of game of thrones, downloaded a torrent, been browsing and on here and still have 50% left. I think the key is that I have brightness down as it has been dark, and I'm on wifi.
[HTC One X] masrterk:
Very good battery performance

thats it thanks 2days of usage ;) nice

thanks
[HTC One X] fi3ry_icy:
actually this phone takes much longer to charge then any other smartphone i've every seen..
[HTC One X] H-Cim:
It takes about 3 hours to fully charge if I'm not mistaken. Are other phones that fast ?
[HTC One X] Mr_Twist:
We can't confirm the battery will be excellent with the first uses because you are using the device non stop because is new. Give it some time......
[HTC One X] hetalmp:
I'm on software version 1.26.401.2 does anyone know when I am likely to get the update others have that improves battery life. I'm on orange UK.

[HTC One X] willexmen:
According to that you have 8 hours screen time!. Could you please, for the sake of other that have bad battery. Make the HTC Test.

Set brightness to 100%

Set screen to never turn off.

Leave it open for 30 minutes and see how much battery you drain.

Mine lasted a total of 4 hours last night... with 2 hours screen time.

Gf one x just did 17 hours from first full charge to 5% with 4 hours screen on time and light use 12 hours in deep sleep according to CPU spy mine dying like lighting thing I got a bad battery charged twice in 24 hours to full
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
This puts into perspective for me.

Took the phone off the charger this morning. Used it for exactly 5 minutes.

In that time I downloaded an app, checked my texts. Uninstalled another app.

Nothing more.

Down to 97%. 3 percent gone doing basically nothing.

Having the same problem. Had it with my desire to. I'm starting to blame my house for giving out wrong voltage and destroying my battery.

Right now i charged my phone, forth full charge now for 9 hours on. Then i turned it off and it has charged for about 2 hours now. Soon...
[HTC One X] leith51:
Tried this lost 9% in 30 mins its looking like its a bad battery as on same firmware as gf 126.110.5
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
9% is not classed as a fault apparently. From a full charge doing this I went down to 90%. It needs to be under 85% for a fault.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
That isn't THAT bad? 5.5 hours screen time.

Sure it could be improved (and will be) - but that doesn't worry me too much :)
[HTC One X] leith51:
I see cheers for that still charging to full in 24 hours twice can't be good gf lasted 17 hours was left for 7 hours over night off charge at 30% and woke up to 30% then took 2 hours of playing around fb YouTube txts game to get it down to 5%
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
Would love to get 5.5hrs screen time, that would be perfect.

Starting to suspect it's a poor radio software, the battery drop seems to be related to 3G use generally and the signal is sketchy.

All solveable.

Trying to work out whether the battery is faulty is the hard part, not sure whether to get a swap out.
