I dont necessarily have all the answers for you, but I thought I'd quote so you could see my time and what i've done. Keep in mind, the attached is not the norm for my phone, but I had pretty light usage yesterday, so i decided to not charge over night and see where it got me.

Like I said yesterday was a pretty light day of a few browsing sessions and a handful of texts and email responding. Today i used it a bit more, and ended up streaming live baseball for about 2 hours straight on wi-fi. Still effectively 2 day's worth of use on one charge.

Facts:

-Stock ROM

-Started with 4.177A charge yesterday morning.

-Brightness set to ~20%

-WiFi set to shut off during sleep

-Disabled apps; most all ATT apps, HTC Hub/Account/etc, Google Books/Movies/+, CityID, YellowPages, topHD Games, Flikr/APIEngine, Amazon Kindle, ATT ContactsSync, FriendStream stuff, MOG, SoundHound, Talkback....

-I dont have any weather widgets going

-Syncing Gmail and Corporate Exchange

-Disabled all haptic feedback. such a huge battery hog, and quite annoying also, IMO.

That's all I can think of having done off the top of my head. I'm also pretty good about swiping away apps that I'm not using instead of leaving them in the multitasking tray. I'm a little aggressive with my management, but I figure it's worth it in the end. If you look back a few pages, I've had posts showing 20ish hours under moderate-heavy use. I also haven't flashed the 1.82 update, but i bet that will improve battery life when the wifi connectivity issues are patched...

I really enjoy this phone. Hopefully this is helpful to you.

Took mine of the charger at about 7:30 AM New Orleans time. I have only disabled the AT&T apps and my wifi has been on all day. Plus I was running a full LTE in the N.O. I was texting all day, occasionally checking emails, and some browsing the web and Facebook. As of 8:30 PM New Orleans time, I'm running at 40% as I type. That's not bad at all IMO.

When you say replacement, is that from an AT&T store or an insurance claim?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Arcadia310:
I recently got a replacement One X and my new one doesn't get nearly the same battery performance as my last one. My last one would get 4+ hours of screen time with heavy usage. My new one barely gets by 3 hours with light-medium usage and I'm constantly turning data/wifi on and off.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ws2112:
Thank you for the tips. I'm doing a full reset after debranding mine. I'll be applying these settings to my phone. I also do agree about the haptic feedback thing, I turned if off for the keyboard, but I think there should be an option for us to turn if off for the touch sensitive buttons too :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Koizuma:
Here's mine for today, I have to say I'm really impressed with the battery life.

Swyped from my HTC One X using XDA Premium App.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fitchpuckman:
No Problem! good luck with trying this out, please let us know if you see any success when using these tweaks. Regarding haptic feedback for the capacitive buttons, have you gone into setting>sound> ad disabled the Vibrate Feedback option all the way at the bottom of the list, in the 'system' section? I think that should kill any remaining vibration on touch inputs if you've already disabled the keyboard settings.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shadestalker:
This is after having had the phone for about a week, so Juice Defender is dialed in pretty well and there should be no false readings from the battery gauge. I have wifi available at home and at work, and I suspect the lack of LTE usage for syncing is helping a lot.

I have Juice Defender set to allow data once per hour, and syncing gmail, Evernote, and Exchange calendar (not email.) On this charge, the phone has equalled or exceeded the battery performance I got on my Captivate on stock Gingerbread.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jspidey:
To those having so-so battery life, hit the battery life graph so it shows when it was awake, on wifi, etc... Let us know how your cell strength is during the day. I've noticed that nearly all of the folks who've had killer battery life had good (green) cell strength throughout most of the day.

My battery life is acceptable IMHO, but I've got crap coverage all day long (graph is yellow/brown). I work practically in a bunker and it seems that I live just on the edge of a couple towers.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chambers7867:
This is so true. I work in a building where i get 1-2 bars of hspa+ and with one exchange account + 1 Google account a few phone calls a few text a few pictures and videos i can get 13-15 hours on the phone. When im at my house for the weekend where i have 4-5 bars of hspa+ and wifi is on. i can easily get 27-30 hours of doing the exact same type of phone usage.

So far battery life has been excellent for me. I can get thru a whole day with heavy browsing, gaming and ample call time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nabbed:
Faster in what?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nativestranger:
Haha. No it wont. But i am talking more about apps that involves a significant amount of user waiting on the cpu processes such as stitching a panorama or rendering a large a large web page with flash.

I read both articles. Waiting for more real world results.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
I see what you tried to do there, but it isn't that easy. I'll spending the same amount texting someone no matter what. And being able to load my Facebook 2 seconds sooner does not mean I'll be on there any less. So yes, the extra screen on time is important
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mesasone:
Yes. Did you actually read the linked post or just rush to bang out a response? The One X can sustain the display for over 10 hours on a single charge, in specific conditions. Those specific conditions do not qualify as normal use, but they do indicate that it's not simply the 4.7" display that is causing the significant batter drain.

It is pretty straight forward. You're not going to spend an additional two hours loading apps and webpages on the One XL. Both are blazing fast, and the difference would add up to less than a minute at most over the course of an entire day. At most. The difference in time spent waiting over even a first gen Galaxy device would be minute.

But the real issue here is the S4 has a significantly higher IPC than the Tegra 3 and is much faster in single threaded applications. The Antutu benchmark shows the performance of the Tegra 3 in highly parallel processing loads, a very uncommon use scenario, and not at all similar to loading a webpage or app. I can think of very few tasks outside a highly complex game (which would have been designed to run on the lower end hardware that is much more common) that would actually take advantage of 4 cores on a phone.

At the end of the day, screen on time is a very useful metric for comparing battery life. It's hard to say if the One XL will have significantly better battery sign as few people have posted results so far, but some of the early indications are very promising.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mrvirginia:
5hrs is way more than i'll need. that's at least 2 days of usage for me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
A Cadillac Escalade can get 30MPG going downhill, with the A/C off, in low humidity, and with a tail wind. Would you agree that the Escalade gets 30MPG? I didn't buy the phone as a lab experiment and when evaluating battery life the most valid comparisons are how it does against similar phones and how well it holds up doing what each of us typically do. If the international version gets 10 hours under "specific conditions" than there's a good chance bedolf's will get 14. It's early, but it certainly appears under “typical” conditions Teg3 uses a lot more battery than S4.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] bebolf:
This is a follow up battery stats from my previous post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25186605&postcount=5

During the last battery cycle my One X spent about 1/3 time on texting, emails, and other things... and the 2/3 was all youtube video playbacks on wifi ONLY.

Screenshots included with this post show the battery stats of my

3rd battery cycle

.

The phone was on LTE the entire time (1-3 bars), auto-brightness on, and just to put things into perspective I collected the following stats as well:

data uage: 337 MB (LTE)

calls: 6 s (lol just for the reference)

SMS sent/received: 125

Edit:

Forgot to mention the things I did during that cycle: SMS, emails, a few youtube videos, web browsing, two rounds of draw something, a couple photos, no camcording, and some other miscellaneous apps.

Edit 2:

Just realized that the usage stats might be more since they only show the usages during April 23. I started the cycle in April 22 evening.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] AliLaPointe:
Thank you for the battery stats beobolf. Im definitely jumping ship as soon as my contract with Sprint is up (June).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mesasone:
I think the miss the point. The point of that test, and bringing it up here, is provide a point of reference for how much power that actual display is using. The conditions in that test, in case you missed them, are that the phone was fully charged and then unplugged, the brightness set to "auto", the screen time out set to "never", and the radios were left on. The phone was then simply left to idle until the power died out.

What we can gather from this test, is that it likely not the large 4.7" display that is chugging the juice but likely the hardware feeding it (re: Tegra 3, possibly the GPU portion?). Thus it is entirely possible that the One XL with the S4 would attain longer battery life. How much longer is unknown at this point, though we will get a better idea as more people get this device in their hands and post their results.

I don't think we can expect the One XL to see 14 hours in of screen on time in this test unless we've been given with a larger battery, which to my knowledge we both the One X and the One XL use the same 1850 mAh battery.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BarryH_GEG:
Thanks, I see your point. But it brings up other questions. Was it left alone in a dark room with an all white background displaying? Or was it with an all black background in broad daylight? The latter would result in at least twice the display drain. In the real world the display is off unless you're doing something on the phone so the processor will always be active (in some form) when the display is. To me, that kind of invalidates the test. It’s kind of like the international version being crowned “best stand-by life.” Idle on any phone isn’t heavy so a 50% improvement for something that uses 5% of your battery is kind of a hollow victory. With the X and XL having the exact same displays and batteries the XL’s superior performance is either the efficiency of the S4 when it’s working or better driver implementation by HTC/Qualcomm vs. HTC/Nvidia. I’m hoping the latter helps the international version via future updates. The international version is still running a GB (vs. ICS) kernel.

My benchmarks are how well the international version seems to do in aggregate compared to the XL (bedolf is a sample of one), how the SGS3 does when it comes out, and how the One X fares doing the same things with the same apps I used every day on my former i9100 (expecting a reasonable deficit).

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nativestranger:
Thats amazing. Pretty much everyone expected the battery life of the one xl to suck badly on LTE but turns out that it outlasts the international one x on wifi! And that was extremely heavy usage. I expect hspa only and manual brightness at 30% to last at least 5hrs.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] toastyy:
So I got mine yesterday, used it nearly nonstop from 67% and I got ~4hrs screen time. Here are my results from today after my first charge from ~0%. I used it heavily when it starts to slope, nearly non stop surfing the net on wifi and playing some games, N64 emulator for maybe 40 mins... But off the first cycle I'm very impressed. Seem pretty good?

Well first off, I'm not in a LTE area and I WORK out in the oil field somewhere in the boonies of West Texas, so for the most part I only get Edge speeds. Still pretty fast when I use Opera browser. My patterns are mostly browsing and gaming since we get a lot of downtime. Can't stream much because my speeds are still middling.

Full stock no root

Wifi off

Always Roaming

Display @40% (works great outdoors)

Full Sync (Twitter, Facebook, HTC, Gmail, Live Mail, Android, various other apps)

Heavy Web browsing

Read Books (Aldiko, I'm an old school sci-fi junkie)

Gaming (Mega Jump, TX holdem, Angry Birds, Gun Bros, Need 4 Speed)

Calls 45 mins - 1 hour

Texts maybe 4 or 5

For what I use it for, the battery has surpassed my expectations. With the inspire I was only getting 5 maybe 6 hours max with the same usage.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
There is no reason to show your battery stats one wifi or edge. Why use the phone to half of its capabilities and show off the battery? Of course you'll get amazing battery life, you're not fully using the phone lol. Today will be the first day I'm using juice defender ultimate. I will report back tonight. However with wifi on it keeps toggling data and wifi and that drains battery itself every time I turn the screen on lol. Just turned off wifi so today will be a basically full LTE day. The true battery test!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fitchpuckman:
I wonder if you may benefit from the type of update the international HOX is now getting, throughout europe. You have some major power drain when screen is on and phone is awake, and the Int'l HOx update does address some issues with battery voltages as it relates to screen use (and the screen flashing issues). I have no idea if there is a way to flash the int'l update to the ATT/Rogers models, or if there is another way to extract the files from the update and somehow package them with the 1.82 update for ATT floating around the forums. May be worth a look if this is going to cause you to return immediately. Also, there is widespread rumor that May 28th will bring the official 1.82 update OTA here in the states.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shawn1224:
I wasn't aware that I was competing with LTE users. I was just giving my experience. I wish I could maxx out the One X's potential but that's the best I have available to me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
I understand. The comment wasn't directed at you, but rather at the people who brag about their battery life and cluelessly wonders why nobody else can achieve their battery life.

OT: my battery drain is pretty consistent today. It will be about 10 hours and 3 hours of screen on time if it keeps it up. Which is okay I guess. Contemplating going to an iPhone with a mophie really been thinking about it lately. They hold their value well, and I can have some sort of freedom while we wait for this boot loader to be unlocked.

We don't need your permission to use wifi, edge data, auto-brightness, auto-syncing or any other feature on our phones. The battery stats posted in this thread are from actual use patterns. Some people have wifi available all day, others have LTE, some are stuck on HSPA while others only have access to EDGE.
