[HTC One X] r0cafella:
the battery life is making me have second thoughts :(

Looking at the video comparision seems like the one s drains half as quickly during usage :/

hope htc roll out this firmware upgrade asap so i can see the difference
[HTC One X] ossy1337:
Hey, just to give you a reference

I did the "HTC battery test" with my One s, left it alone for exactly 30 minutes with Wlan enabled, 100% brightness and never sleep

after 30 minutes there were 96% battery left.
[HTC One X] ShyamSasi:
Power Button + Vol down.
[HTC One X] r0cafella:
i think i'll do it on my DHD To put it into perspective.
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
I found the Power Button + Vol down method not so handy and not always working (most of the times my volume got adjusted lol)

I use

Power Button + Home button

now. Much more easy imo.
[HTC One X] r_a_c:
Did the test in airplane mode, like they said earlier in the topic, got 91% left.

And my battery drains alot in stand by and playing things.

So i would like to know what people who state 5 hours of screen time with everything syncing get?
[HTC One X] schriss:
Reducing screen brightness can help greatly. Or use JuiceDefender to manage Brightness automatically, you will be able to customize it with minimum/maximum and average brightness levels.
[HTC One X] Diddy555:
Weird behaviour

Hey,

just want to share my battery experience:

I have the phone since monday afternoon. I really like the amazing low standby consumption. 7 hours sleep, 1 % drop. Its normal that the battery drops fast with testing games and everything else, so I couldnt really say if my battery drains too fast. So I did the HTC test: 100%, forgot too switch on airplane mode - 89 % left after 30 min screen on. Then i used it a bit and started charging (AC) at 85 %.

Now the weird thing happened: WHILE LOADING the percentage dropped to 84, then after a while 83, 82:confused: After 5 minutes screen off loading it was at 87% and now its charging normal. Does anybody have an explanation for that?
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Current stats.. screen time involves tapatalk, temple run for 5 mins, few photos
[HTC One X] fuzzifikation:
the battery percentages are not always a good indication of what's going on. if you charge the phone over night it will show 100%. but that's actually not true. if it would constantly keep the battery at full charge it would be bad for it. so the phone charges until it reaches almost full charge and then stops charging. once it hits a threshold of, say, 95% it will charge again.

here's the thing. when you take it of the charger you don't know if it has 95 or 99 our anything in between. in order not to confuse customers, the phone always needs to show 100. then, later on, it needs to adjust this value to the real one. that's when a user would see an inexplicable battery drop.
[HTC One X] Diddy555:
I knew that, but it doesnt explain the drop while charging, does it?
[HTC One X] hpacura:
Li-Polymer and not Li-Ion battery?

How can we confirm that One X is equipped with Li-Polymer and not Li-Ion battery?

I installed this Battery Widget developed by JH Jeong from the market, and it indicated the battery is Li-Ion. :confused:
[HTC One X] schriss:
Dont worry about that, it might still be Li-Pol
[HTC One X] RomNoR:
Wtf? :confused:

This is unacceptable. :mad:

100% charge and i just watched some youtube clips and browsed for 1 min on wifi.

Seriously?
[HTC One X] Aja82:
I'm VERY happy with the battery usage so far. Suits all my needs and then some!

I've just put the charger in the wall for the third time so between my second charge and the third one it looked like this:

facts: Firmware 1.26xxxxxx, wifi/3g on, autosync with facebook, twitter, weather and google. Played approx 20 minutes of a tegra game. Calles and texts. Browsing the web, "facebooked", listened to internet radio. Screen on auto brightness.

Did no whatsoever tweaks to increase batterytime yet.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
So I am home, and the One X easily managed my task. Next time I will be more forceful with what I do on it - I didn't want to run out of battery completely though. Basically all the time on screen time I either had; camera, facebook, tapatalk, temple run or the browser open and active.

These are the statistics, screen on 20% brightness, which was fine indoors and out - although it was a dull day.
[HTC One X] malimal:
Man i am pissed with the screen on battery usage. I really wanted this to be my phone for a good amount time but this is terrible. I really have to consider returning. The reviews all mentioned it but thought I could look past it. I hate having to worry about battery life. Then add the fact that usb is a slow charging port anyway.

Just venting because I really want to love this device.
[HTC One X] spridell:
Hopefully the update will address this problem.

From the people who have gotten the update they seem to say battery has gotten much better after the update.
[HTC One X] eteyen1:
so when exactly is the update being rolled out to everyone?
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
I emailed and asked and they just said there is no news yet, keep checking facebook and twitter

----------------

So, after football yesterday I have a friends party and the battery died on me at around 2am-ish. They involved taking a fair few photos, but nothing else. So lasted about 14 hours with 3 hours or so of pretty heavy use.
[HTC One X] schriss:
Can the update be saved by someone who has it and uploaded for others? Or not that easy?
[HTC One X] :
These are my stats after the first charge (I'm at 1.26, made in Taiwan)

Not too bad, waiting for 1.28 :)
[HTC One X] tombik99:
Just thought about a point of our personal feeling about percentage.

I usually get in panic when my LGO2X reaches 20% or so, even if i let it in my pocket without use.

But when you talked about such a low standby drain, maybe we dont have to...

Do you think that when you will be for example on party, with phone drained by daily use to 10%, it can pass the night till you get to charger at home in the morning? Just for being aviable..

Thank you for answers :-)
[HTC One X] :
End of first day after first full charge:
[HTC One X] milkobgd:
@Slaytanic, this looks acceptable
[HTC One X] mr.dj26:
hmmm

In my opinion, the battery is very bad. i was thinking of getting the 1x but no any more :(

if I unplug it at 8am and at 6 or 7 pm its dead, it cant stay a full day thats really bad for a phone with these specs. i think HTC should not make this phone slim it just needs more battery!:mad:
[HTC One X] schriss:
That's how I sometimes treat my old GNexus, which has a drop of 1-3% over night. So I don't really care how much is left in the evening, I know it will be up and working next day.

I often leave office at 5pm with 20% left, then I actively use the phone on my way home, music, browsing, screen on, battery goes down slowly. Then I went to a store, had 5%, had to make phone call, was afraid it wouldn't last, but after I hang up it was still 5%. Used it for a while, dropped to 3% and thats when I arrived home.

I always have external battery in my bag so in case of emergency I can charge any micro-USB phone, but didn't have to use it.

We usually panic when we see less that 50% or even 20% and we run around looking for a charger. But if my phone lasts 1.5 days average use or over 2 days of very light use, then that 20% is like half day, when I realized that I stopped panicking :D
[HTC One X] nickp123:
The battery on this phone is fine. Dont forget, this is the early days, and with time developers will work on better kernels and roms which will further extend it.

I myself use tasker to extend my battery life and i can comfortably get through the day with plenty to spare.

One thing I will say is how good is the screen!!? My screen is turned right down and it still looks mega.
[HTC One X] kamaldeepahluwalia:
Can anyone tell me the scenario when battery isworn out in about 1.5 years. What to do with the handset.? Will HTC replace the battery or replace the phone?
[HTC One X] schriss:
I'm not sure but I imagine you get warranty from retailer and it might be for example 1 year for the phone and 6 months for the battery, or something like that, and you would get in touch with them. I don't think anyone would ever replace entire phone instead of built in battery. It might be that you will get battery replaced and as part of the process you could get outer shell (that shouldn't cost them much).
[HTC One X] rizevnarastek:
Li-Ion Polymer batteries have a much longer life span that ordinary Li-Ion. Unlike the latter, those are supposed to live through 10.000 cycles before reaching sub 80% of the full capacity they once had. So teoreticly even if you charge it TWICE a day it should hold at least 80% percent charge after THIRTEEN YEARS :) ..well, that is, unless it's defective of you misuse it into killing itself.
[HTC One X] C56X:
Battery percentage display

Hi all,

I just got my One X, and I'm loving it.

Could some of you kindly suggest how I could get the battery to display at what percentage it is currently at?

I guess on some phones, it is one of the widgets; not on mine.

I've also installed Juice Defender, and that shows up as an icon on the top left corner of the phone with a little red color. What does that indicate?

I was told to install this app; not really sure if it really helps prolong battery life.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
not being funny by why install something if you do not know what it does then:confused: why you not read about it first before going ahead and installing it.

Go here and read more about what that app does and how to work it out. Regarding having a percentage on your battery. If you are rooted then most roms now come with percentage in the battery..If you are not rooted then surely there are battery widgets that can display that for you. just have a little search in market
[HTC One X] Ruudfood:
Can I just ask where you all are and what you're doing which prevents you from being near a charger for more than, say, 8 hours?

I'm not saying that the battery will last that long but I'm just wondering because if I'm in the office, in the car or at home I can charge my phone. That's not to say I never go out but if I do I tend to be more careful about how much I use my phone so that battery life is preserved in case of emergencies.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I'm unable to charge whilst at work, & I do ALOT of streaming whilst at work on HSPDA, upto 500mb per day.

.... It kinda eats battery.

My SGS2 gets me through the working day, sometimes only just. (just depends how much streaming I do)

If I do no streaming, on the SGS2, i can leave work with 50% left, which is pretty good.

... Only time will tell what the ONE X is like.
[HTC One X] shea-bird:
Sorry, I don't like depending on a charger every 6-10 hours. If a phone doesn't get through a full day, it should never come to market...point blank. I think the One X will get through a full day with moderate use...def not gonna exceptional but hopefully better than average...
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
That has alleviated some of my initial fears..

Still waiting until as late as possible for a pre-order, with a bleak hope of hearing something about the S3 that is relatively concrete - if that happens I will hold out - otherwise the One X gets it (on the basis Samsung will announce the event, couple of weeks later hold the event, month or so later hold the event - quite a long wait!)

32gb for me is absolutely fine too - manage 16gb on my Milestone - the lack of a decent amount of internal memory is a joke on the Milestone though (512mb..)
[HTC One X] ZeroRilix:
I'm currently using a Vivid. I work from 7 until 530 somedays. I occasionally stream a youtube video or 2, read the xda and android central forums, check current NFL headlines, sent an occasional text, and the occasional phone call lasting around 15 minutes tops, and I get home with around 75-80% battery left. That is a locked and stock Vivid running the leaked ics ruu from pirate from 2 weeks ago, and a dual core s3. I suspect the One X with t3 will be better on battery than my Vivid. I have had this Vivid drop only 1% in 6hours on standby, barely using the thing. I reaaly don't think battery will be as much of an issue as it was with the Inspire/Desire HD. I think the heaviest users will probably finally be able to make it through a whole day for a change.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
What I would really like is for some gadget websites (engadget?) to get hold of the handset before the 5th of April and give it a real test.
[HTC One X] Mr. Sakkaro:
but you are not realizing that ATP doesn't have mobile data connection.

So it wouldn't be just 3~4% over night...
[HTC One X] eteyen1:
exactly! Looking to get mine the day after its released, but would really like to read a proper review from one of the gadget sites. Do the companies not send out phones to these guys before release to review and get the word out?
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
Yes they should get it within few days according to what I heard they should get them in mid March
[HTC One X] eteyen1:
excellent news. That would put a conrete end to all this speculation, and help settle things in my mind. I might even pre-order it
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
Already ordered :)

But a good battery review would be all I want..
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Already mid-March, hopefully it will happen soon..

If anyone see an in depth review, post here :)
[HTC One X] eeeeeee:
You're right, but it's good to know that if needed, I can disable the data connection, which I don't use while I'm asleep, and it can survive.
[HTC One X] hungcolin:
Yes, I'm also waiting for a battery review!
[HTC One X] iggy27707:
Likewise. As a DHD user since the phone first came out I've suffered through really bad battery performance to the point I've gotten used to it.:mad:

I don't wanna' spend money on something that's not gonna' be an improvement.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Spot on really, as long at it survives 7am to 6pm with a couple of hours relatively high usage overall through the day, I will be happy. On my current phone, 28% down for one hours usage of not doing much at all. But as I say, the difference is for my Milestone I could just buy a new battery.
[HTC One X] Spl4tt:
The battery is the only drawback of the One X.. i don't want to take a charger, or portable charger with me when i go out to skate

or there are weekends where i'm away, from friday till sunday evening. no phone will be able to survive that, except if you have a spare battery, like me with my HD2.

let's just try and hope :)
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
Spare battery is about the same like a portable charger.. At least for me and I have a 6000mah small and light charger...

:)
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
I've just pre-ordered the One X in White with Phones 4U and I'm getting the Media Link HD unit for Free too which is a massive bonus as I will use it a lot!

But I too want to see a decent battery life review as I have scoured the internet for reviews on the Tegra 3 chip and I hope that this 'companion core' is as good as they make it out to be!

I currently have a SGS2 and Nokia Lumia and both are ok for battery life, my S2 is pretty good running the latest nightly of CM9 on it, but thing is when I use it, mainly for internet use, due to the SAMOLED+ display it drains rather quickly. I've read that with the SLCD2 display it conserves battery more, hope its true.

Anyway the 5th April can't come soon enough! :D
[HTC One X] fi3ry_icy:
we need to hunt down mobile phone review sites and ask them if htc have sent them review units and if so to bug them to release the reviews, especially battery test already.. the wait for a proper review is getting ridiculous..
[HTC One X] Spl4tt:
got a product link?^^

Sent from my HTC HD2
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
When I get home sure :)
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
Here you go :) costs about 32 euros and it's quite impressive.. Charging takes sometime of course but you can recharge your one x 3times with one charge!

[HTC One X] sabret00the:
The non-removable battery makes absolutely no sense to me. I understand that Google is encouraging OEMs to go the no SD Card route as manufacturers are making phones without enough space internally and people are forcing the wrong apps to SD. But still, for the XDA intended phone, that makes little sense. It still makes more sense than a non-removable battery though. When in doubt, you do a battery pull. What are we supposed to do in emergency situations now?

Also things like portable charges are far larger than a spare battery.

What pains me is that I know there will be complaints and that by the end of the year, there will be a version launched with a removable battery. Especially if the SGS3 doesn't adopt these ludicrous ideas.
[HTC One X] daria55:
non removable batterys make the device smaller. and the battery pull isn't necessary: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1544774
[HTC One X] Hampa_D:
i got this http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Trent-iCruiser-IMP1000-Blackberry/dp/B004CHMP50/ref=pd_sim_ce_3 and its awesome, i can charge my sgs2 5 times and my iPad once from 0% to 100% before it was running out of juice. i just bought a travle adapter for it to work in Sweden
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
Well I've found a comparison of the HTC One X vs One S and these guys think the winner is the One S due to the processor being a better.

See here: http://www.knowyourmobile.com/comparisons/1288936/htc_one_x_vs_htc_one_s.html

Thoughts??
[HTC One X] javelar:
Don't think it's a very good review to be honest.. the deciding factor is design (subjective) and the performance of the processor that as they admitted they didn't test and just went with what Qualcomm says.. as if they wouldnt say their product is superior to the competition.. :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] sabret00the:
GSM Arena has also done a comparison: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4320&idPhone2=4574

Though digging through the comments, a few people seem to have been hands on.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
A bizarre comparison really. They like the design of the One S, and think the processor is slightly better.. everything else they say the One X is better on, and yet they decide the One S wins!

The design is down to personal preference anyway - the One X looks way nicer than the One S imo
[HTC One X] Brac20:
That article seems incredibly amateurish. The processor comparison in particular sounds like a quote from a Qualcomm press release.
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
Agree with everyones thoughts here, it looks like they are backing Qualcomm especially as they haven't had a hands one and are purely speculating.

I hope there are better in depth reviews soon, as I've pre-ordered my handset 2 days ago and want to see how great this phone is.

I have an SGS2 atm and this looks amazing compared to it, a pretty impressive leap tbh, its that good I'm not waiting for the S3.

The Media link HD sold me, it looks amazing! :D
[HTC One X] MaXmeOliver:
Battery life is the only thing that worry me about this phone.
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
Let's hope its as good as they say it will be.
[HTC One X] fi3ry_icy:
yeah, i saw that too.. but i want those long a-ss 20-30 min long videos from pocketnow.com or other review sites where they unbox, boot the phone and bascially walk us through the entire phone, hardware wise and software wise, then stack the phone with other smartphones, showing the screen contrast, size etc then compare the battery lifes.. :D

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

that is sick... 11000 mAh...

the largest i found is

http://www.netimes.com/shop/power-master-9600mah-portable-mobile-power-p-3052.html?cPath=445_711
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
Yes there are bigger ones.

But mine is still handy and lightweight.

And you have to keep in mind that charging them will take more time the more mah it has...
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
Yes those are the video reviews we need....now!

I've just had an email to say my pre-ordered One X will be delayed to 7th :( no fair!
[HTC One X] Spl4tt:
thanks for the link :)

so this are 11000mAh there? would be nice with this size.. and it could even fit in a pocket

i found the external chargers from energizer too, they look nice..

let's see, i think i buy them both to test out
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
Mine is a 6000mah from leicke bought on Amazon for 30euros...

Dunno about other chargers ;)
[HTC One X] knoobie:
Am I right to say the new battery supports lesser charge per life? If that's the case... I have to kick my habit of charging my phone when its half full..
[HTC One X] acke999:
its the same battery as in iphone 4 have a look at phone battery test reguarding life time.

"Apple estimates that the iPhone will lose 20 percent of its capacity after 400 full charge and discharge cycles.”

"Use iPhone Regularly

For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down)."
[HTC One X] setspeed:
I really think HTC will drop the ball AGAIN when it comes to battery life. The One X looks like a great phone, with some stand-out features - but that means absolute sh*t-all if the thing dies within 9hrs. I hope I'm wrong, since this phone is the only competition I'm considering against the SGS3. I'd rather give my money to HTC.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
If the leaked specs of the SGS3 are to be believed -

HTC will have a bigger battery, a more battery efficient screen & a quad core processor that has a battery saving companion.

HTC said they have made battery efficiency a priority, so we just have to wait & see.
[HTC One X] Tinderbox (UK):
If you charge your phone when the battery hits approx 40% and then charge it to only 90% and then unplug it, you will get 1000+ charges out of the battery.

Also running the battery down till the phone turns itself off, every 2-3 months will also help calibrate the battery gauge, but don't overdo this as it`s not good for the battery.

This advice is really for light to medium users, as heavy uses need all the battery runtime you can get, but your battery will not live as long.

John.

The link below has info on how to look after an lin-ion/polymer based battery`s

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
[HTC One X] Ruudfood:
That's for Lithium Ion batteries. Lithium polymer in the One X MAY (I'm no expert on batteries) have slighly different physics that would require a different strategy.
[HTC One X] Tinderbox (UK):
I think it`s still a good charging strategy, Lithium polymer is slightly more resistant to overcharging.

John.

http://www.batteryeducation.com/2006/04/what_is_the_dif.html
[HTC One X] knoobie:
Nice information john. But will li-poly batts means lesser charging cycles? Should we only charge when its down to zero or when its half full?
[HTC One X] Spl4tt:
no, those 500-1000 charges are meant for 100% full charges.

when you charge from 70% -> 100% you only lost 30%, and got 70% left till a "full charge" and so, one of those 500 charges.

else, as much as i know, Li-Po are all around better technology than Li-Ion.

the only disadvantage i think is, that is has lesser capacity..
[HTC One X] HTC-Gunge:
Thanks for the links tinderbox.

I came accross this table at the site:

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_charge_when_to_charge_table

Notice the rules are the same for Lithium-ion (Li-ion, polymer).
[HTC One X] Chad_Petree:
I can't wait for the one x to fall into reviewers hands , the battery life is what's stopping me from getting it, oh how i HATE my Inspire 4G , my friends always make fun of me because i have a superphone but i always have no battery and i'm always searching for a charger :(
