So last night i went to bed with 55% battery. Woke up and it was 16%!!

This is unbelievable. Some night i lose 5% and some nights i lose 40%.

This is a big deal breaker for me. I closed all my recent apps through the multi-tasking menu.

I checked the power options and apparently something kept my phone up most of the night.

Does anybody know how i can check what's been keeping my phone awake? Wifi was off.

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------

After searching the thread i found that i needed to buy better battery stats.

So i just purchased it. Phone is on charge. Can someone give me a quick walk through on what i'm supposed to do?

I'm trying to google for a guide but "better battery stats and android" keyboards seem to give me results about improving the battery life and not how to use this app.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] joho5:
I just got one day and 3 hours on my last charge. That's right on spec on when I was using my iphone. I use my phone quite a bit. I've always used task killers along side the stock task manager. I stopped doing that and my battery life improved.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fitchpuckman:
This is probably the last time I'll post on battery life, but here is another shot of some excellent battery life on stock Sense, full LTE, wifi off when asleep, and debloated.* fairly light to moderate use with a couple of podcast downloads over LTE and a bit of Logo Quiz game playing, which is mostly just screen time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mets3214:
How do you guys get such good battery life? In the week I've had this phone, I only get about 2.5 hours of screen time on average with 30% brightness. I'm always in a 4G LTE area with great coverage, send about 30 texts a day, 0-30 min of phone calls (not a big talker lol), have stock ics email and yahoo mail app on push, weather syncing every 3 hours, about 20-30 min of using IGN and Engadget apps and posting on blogs, and about an hour of browsing. I would say this is moderate usage but I do have days in which I use the phone heavily. What can I do to increase the battery life? I got until Sunday to return this thing and still haven't fully committed into not going back to my Iphone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fitchpuckman:
Have you debloated? I saw significant improvement when disabling all the useless crapware on the phone. I spent a couple days using it essentially stock, then went in and debloated and battery lfe increased by probably 20-25%.

Check my old posts in this thread, I stated what I do for my battery life. At some point a couple of days ago I also linked to another thread with a pretty comprehensive list of apps to disable. Its amazing how all te little things running in the background kill battery life and can delay the phone from getting to a deep sleep. You should be able to hit 13-15 hours under moderate+ useage. Good luck.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] splcfiya:
The problem is that they all don't last over 24 hours with LTE enabled. This is a great thread for perspective buyers, especially with a sealed in battery. It's also good to look at if your phone is only getting 10 hours of battery life but everyone else is getting 30 hours then you know something is up and you might need to return your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] elsupermang:
There is definitely some kind of gremlin in my phone. Most days I get awesome battery life. Occasionally my phone will be warm to the touch and the battery will drain extremely quickly. Last night I woke up to a dead phone when i had 40% battery life remaining. Today at work my phone drains from 34% to 17% in less than 20 minutes.

I'm gonna try to track down the culprit, but otherwise this phone has pretty awesome battery life. I went 24 hours on one charge a couple of times. Screen on time is about 5 hours 20 minutes on average
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tylerdurdin:
This may be why your battery behavior is inconsistent. The times you are running for twenty four hours are you depleting the battery beyond ten percent? You don't have to answer but if you are you are hurting the battery. Doing this consistently will continue to ruin it further. Charge your phone while you sleep.

killing is my business, And business is good.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sarcosis:
I was getting pretty bad battery life as well. Getting about what you were getting. I was reading android central and found the trick of doing a Hard Reset. After the hard reset, I've been getting great battery life like everyone else on this thread is experiencing.

To do a hard reset on the AT&T version, turn the phone off. Hold down the volume button and then press the power button for a moment to trigger the turn on. You will end up with a text only screen. Use the volume buttons to go up and down and the power button to select. Select the hard reset and you should be on your way. There's youtube videos too if you need a visual.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Teric:
i know for myself my screen is taking up 78% of my battery drain. but then again i do read alot out side. one thing that will drain your battery badly is auto brightness and having your wifi on when your not connected. also having your screen timeout on anything over 30sec is a waste.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] joho5:
Debloating is good because if you keep an eye on your tasks, this will knock that number way down.

I manually sync my emails, I don't know if this does any good but that's what I do.

Also when I stopped using a task killer it helped. A lot if the tasks that run, android always have them run in the background, its just how the os is. And when you use a task killer you are constantly stopping and stating those tasks over and over. Therefore draining the battery.

I get about 24-30 hours every charge and that's with moderate to heavy use.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dominican2589:
Could you post your screen shot of the screen after you click on the graph?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mets3214:
Yea, my phone is rooted and I disabled all the bloatware, I uninstalled some of the recent apps on my phone since I thought that maybe they were draining battery life. The battery life is still bad for me, today I got 3h 32m on battery so far with only 17m of screen time at 30% and I'm down to 73% already.....

---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

I've done 2 hard resets since I had the phone and battery life hasn't changed at all
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
Sounds like you have WiFi set to max performance. Install CPU spy and ensure your CPU is going in to deep sleep.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mets3214:
My wifi is not set to max performance... I'm returning the phone on Friday to Best Buy, there are just so many things i love about this phone but there were a few things that were deal breakers for me. Ill just wait for the next iPhone, or Nexus.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:

Unbelievable. Battery went from 99% to 63% overnight. 9 hours of idling.

I can't figure it out. It's driving me nuts!

Use CPU Spy to see if your phone is going in deep sleep. It's a free program that you can use to decide whether you want to buy Better Battery Stats or not.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eskimochaos:
I just put it on the charger at 20% but I got 1d 16h off charger, 2h screen usage, 30min of which was navigation.

I'm quite pleased.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Alcoholic:
I already bought better battery stats because that's how much this is bothering me.

But I don't understand how to use this program. It says "bam_dmux_wakelock" and "radio-interface", "media scanner service" "alarm manager" "audioOut_3"

all these are keeping my phone up. But i dont know how what to do with that..

I have found the same.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gn0s1s:
Looks like a straight line down , yet only 1 1/2 hours of screen time? something in the background running, or your cpu locked to 1.5ghz?

This is what I've gotten so far or should I say the highest.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
Well after flashing CWM and backing up.. I grew some eballs and "desensed" my phone.. I did it manually as I didn't like what cleanrom did and how it reduced functionality. Anyways here's something that I thought was cool.

8.5 hours idling and not a budge
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Reamer09:
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!! I actually really like Sense 4.0 (especially coming from the Galaxy S with Touchwiz, ugh) but I would give it up for that kind of life.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
Well I actually left key components to sense in there so "personalize" still works.. the lockscreen still works. Pretty much just sense without all the extra languages, all the widgets, HTC hub, and of course the launcher replaced with apex.

Could you please share how u removed all that stuff? I don't care to use sense, more of an AOSP man myself. That would be awesome!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
What exactly does cleanrom reduce functionality wise? People have been using it with no problems. You think it maybe could have been something you did while flashing? Scrosler wouldn't release a rom that reduced functionality. Your statement is misleading.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] saywhat4118:
By far the best battery life in smartphone that I have used.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Arcadia310:
Quite incredible.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Antonioffaxii:
What's battery life like with LTE disabled?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
Gear down big rig, I wasn't misleading anyone or taking anything away from cleanrom or scrosler. The only reason I haven't flashed cleanrom myself is because I don't have a PC for RUUs. I meant reduced functionality as in you have to unlock the lock screen before answering phone calls.

Edit: who knows the few bugs have probably been fixed since that post. Anyways "reduced functionality" was the wrong choice of words. I just wanted to pick and choose pieces of sense is more accurate. Scrosler is a real dev and cleanrom is a real rom .. I just removed 80% of sense.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
CleanROM DE and CleanROM are two separate ROMs

CleanROM DE does require you to unlock before answering and the Personalize menu does not work due to some APKs being removed

CleanROM Standard is just like stock but debloated and rooted/busybox/deodexed

Hi everyone,

First time poster here ^.^ (be gentle). I've been looking through this thread comparing battery times, and generally noticed that people browsing on Wi-Fi are getting well over 4.5-5 hours of screen time, while people who are using the cellular network for browsing are getting around 3-4. My own phone gets kinda warm on HSPA+, and I can only get a little more than 3 hours it, as opposed to Wi-Fi where I can get 4.5-5. Does that seem consistent with what everyone else here is getting?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zaisaroni:
WiFi is more efficient than using the cell radio on every smartphone out there.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] McCadi:
So I use just defender to fight with the android OS WiFi bug, but then I always end up fighting J.D. because it likes to keep my WiFi off when I turn my phone back on (even when set to WiFi preferred!) So I'm pulling off around 2:30 screen on of battery average. I have screen brightness at around 40 percent. Anybody else use juice defender? Is it really worth the hassle?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mosesman86:
I'd say not on this phone. This is the first phone on which I haven't used Green Power. I think for the One X (and ONLY for the One X), apps like that are unnecessary...

I never understood juice defender. It turns off your radios when screen is off but turns them back on every 5 mins to check for push notifications.

Isn't that going to consume more battery?

So no. I don't use it. And don't plan on using it unless someone tells me otherwise.

I noticed a big difference with JD installed. But you have to play with the settings to find the best approach.

Make sure you have "Best wifi performance" unchecked in wifi settings--that and JD don't play well together.

You're not alone I get the same battery life this sucks. My last phone I had an extended battery and could be on the phone ALL day without problems. I hate only getting 2-3 hours of screen on. I use my phone a lot. 2-3 hours of screen on is within 5 or 6 hours. So I have to haul my charger around. I wish there was LTE toggle for this phone.

The longest battery life I have gotten was 1d 9h and 43m, this was on CLEANrom 2.4 with viper mod 2.1 ultimate.

I used the phone as normal, talk, text, LTE, temple run, chrome beta, etc...

Also in my experience juice defender or any "battery saver" app in general not only doesn't work but makes battery life WORSE...

CleanROM seems to be really good for battery life. I'm using Lite 1.0, and in particular, it seems like the phone can cruise on standby forever--seriously, 52% left after 40 hours? Yeah, I only had an hour of screen time, but it seems like when I'm not using the phone, it's not using the battery. Awesome!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] soapbubble:
Honestly this is pretty good.

I was using Juice Defender until I did a full data wipe and tried again. Something about it was actually sucking battery life and I have no idea what. But the best on screen I ever got with it was about 3 hours. I sucked more time and more display by not having it in. On a side note I also had SetCPU installed with a profile for minimum CPU usage when screen was off with powersave, below 15% with powersave and a minimum to max profile for on screen with ondemand gov. I thought combined with JD I'd get amazing battery life but something was killing it.

So to be clear these pictures are from straight 2.6 CleanRom with no battery saver apps or CPU tweaks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
I'm underclocking my phone today with juice defender to see what I can get. I have LTE so 2-3 hours of screen on is what I usually get.

For the guys that seems to have "not so good battery life" try uninstalling any battery saver apps. and facebook.

For you guys having trouble with your batteries, underlock your phones a couple hundred mhz and see if that makes a difference.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] john_tillman:
Not sure if your comment is sarcasm.... But, if it is not - it doesn't seem to be bad at all. 10 m screen on time for 2% battery loss is pretty consistent. However, the problem lies in the fact that above 95% - the battery % ratings aren't reliable. Sometimes, it falsely shows 100% and suddenly you lose 2-3% within a matter of seconds. I would let it come down to 75% from 95% before making any projections/estimations about the battery life.

Here is my first day with CleanRom 2.6 SE.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Shaddy-Z.:
Alright so I under clocked my phone to 1.1 ghz today, and unfortunately the battery life did not improve. If anything it got worse and the phone got hot every time I opened any program. Sucked but true. Maybe I under clocked too much. Battery life will likely increase a lot when we get kernels and stuff so I'm not too concerned. For now I'll tote around my charger and use my phone 24/7.

Can we all agree on a few rules?

Greetings all, I'm new to the ATT One X but not android and am an IT professional.

Can we all agree on a few things here?

If you don't post your:

1.) SCREEN-ON TIME: (herp derp??)

2.) BRIGHTNESS SETTINGS: (auto-brightness is a no-no, someone outside or in a bright room all day may be using full brightness all day)

3.) LTE AVAILABILITY/ON?

4.) WIFI USE/ON?: (since it drains so much less than radio)

5.) BASIC USAGE: ("waaahhh I only get 3 hours screen on time playing shadowgun!")

6.) ROM: (Stock? custom? lite? voodoo dolls powering your OS?)

and you're posting stats without having used the phone for a week first and therefor let the battery settle in over at least 5-10 cycles

YOUR OTHER STATS HAVE NO CONTEXT/ARE MEANINGLESS/ARE JUST CONFUSING THE F*CK OUT OF EVERYONE, PLEASE STOP

Can I get an AMEN?

Also, does anyone have experience with CleanROM 3.0 vs CleanROM Lite 3.0 in terms of how battery life is affected? I'm wondering if its worth switching
