[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
After the first full charge Friday night, I was able to go till the end of Sunday night on that one charge... :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mcg:
I admit the One X battery life is decent, compared to other high-end androids.

But to make a fair comparison, you need TWO screenshots - one of the overall usage as the screen above, AND a screenshot of the screen ON Time. The screen sucks up most of the power and obviously you can get more than one day if your phone is idle half the time.

Well actually, depends on what you do while the screen is on too... if you're using data then that's less battery :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] UMGixxer:
Has anyone experienced their battery stats not displaying correct info. For instance I unplugged my phone around 10PM last night and I have not connected it to a charger since, but when I look at battery use it says 45% not charging, but it says only 6h20m20s on battery. It should say somewhere in the neighborhood of 16 hours on battery but it doesnt and I have reset the phone but it doesnt change.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tom_m:
I did the same thing around midnight. I had a full charge last night before bed and decided not to plug it in to the charger. I'm seeing 51% not charging, 13h 13m 8s on battery. Voice calls 40%, Screen 30%. Cell Standby 10%. So...no. I am seeing the proper hour usage. Weird that you aren't, maybe a setting that turns the phone off during night time? I thought there was some option in Android that shuts off data, wifi, etc. during hours you choose. Maybe it's conflicting/bugged and throwing your hour count off. But I don't seem to have the issue.

Is screen shot volume down + power? I can't seem to get a screenshot otherwise I'd post one. BTW my WiFi has also been on all morning. Made a 30min phone call. I shot a very quick video and tried to look into the DNLA streaming...Messed around a little, etc. Essentially I'm seeing if this thing holds a charge til I go to bed again.

IF it can get through on mostly idle all day with the radio and WiFi on and some light usage...Then I'll be quite happy and if the conclusion at the end of all these samples is that the one lasts an hour more or less than expected or stated by the manufacturer...I'm just not going to care. So far. Loving the battery! (on the first full charge after the half charge it comes with)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] UMGixxer:
screenshot is volume down + power, just have to hold it for a sec or two
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jshahanii:
I would be willing to bet your screen on time is extremely low compared to the hours on that 1 charge. 30% for screen usage gives that away.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] phatboypat:
That may be true, but even with very little screen time I wouldn't be able to get that on my Atrix.

Time off charge isn't the whole picture, but it gives you an idea on the batteries efficiency.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Out of 40 hours, it was a little over 3 hours of screen time. I was impressed.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] beaups:
I think reboots are causing the battery stats to reset on the HOX. Out of several reboots, all have reset stats for me, except one (random).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cloudyphiz:
Through my first day: down to 44% (screen 54%, wifi 10%, cell standby 8%) after 13h 25m, 1h 51m screen time on with brightness at around 30%. Other than turning the brightness down and installing ATK I didn't do anything at all to conserve battery life. In my mind if a smart phone requires me to jump through hoops and not utilize it to it's full capabilities just to get through a full day on a single charge then it's not ready for prime time. I returned an Evo for this reason, and I'm extremely happy with the HOX. I think being down to 44% with the kind of use that I had on it is very much in line with where my iPhone 4 would be. I'm absolutely loving this phone, and ICS is a whole different animal from 2.3 (or whatever it was that came on the first Evo).

gary
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] King Shady:
First thing you should do is uninstall any task killer you have on your phone. That saddens me that people still use "task killers" on a high end ICS device.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
I did, and let me tell you, I am not looking back. The data speeds and battery life on this phone are excellent.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jeremyshaw:
Loving the battery life. Started at 74% last night. Still.haven't charged. LG nitro, atrix both would.not be able to last anywhere.near this long. Been using this phone a LOT for YouTube hd, lol. I still cannot get over how.wonderful this display is. Just no space for videos and music compared to my iPhone :( 9GB after work files and a few about 6 albums, and its full. Not an issue on my iPhone, which also has a lot of my presentations that haven't been loaded to my one xl, yet.

However.... Damn this battery life is good :D

Sorry for.bad punctuation, still getting used to kb.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jeremyshaw:
And a note (i know this will auto.merge), nothing done.to save power. Not disabling anything, 3 work email accounts, background news and weather.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ddot196:
This was me pretty much at home all day WiFi on the whole time. I also played a game for quite a while that is pretty graphic intensive. Not too bad. I'll test it tomorrow when I'm at work in one of my normal day.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] soapbubble:
Only the second charge but seems on par with half the posts.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] UseYourIllusion:
Started with a full charge this morning at about 9:30, been playing with it pretty heavily all day and still going strong at about 40%. It's been better than my jailbroken iPhone 4S and that is definitely good enough for me so far. As long as I can get a full day with my usage pattern I'm happy!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] UMGixxer:
Well I rebooted mine several times and the stats never reset or fixed itself, only thing that reset my stats where to charge the phone to full again, but today its working like it should so far, so keeping my fingers crossed.

Decided to leave my charger at home to today to see if I can get through an entire work day without it, as i couldnt do this with my old iphone 3g or my captivate but things are looking pretty bright so far
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] johnl199:
I can't even break 3 hours screen time before it dies. I have no idea how some of you are getting 5 hours screen time.

What brightness do you have the display at?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jeremyshaw:
Sorry, I didn't mean to.thx your post :P

But the 5hr screen on time on one of the immediately previous pages included a bit of charging near the end...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wrxdrunkie:
Here are my stats:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] johnl199:
Like that above, how in the hell do you get over 5 hours screen time? What brightness do you have it set at?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Squeak22:
Stupid thanks button is too close to the quote button.

I have mine set to Auto Brightness, and I usually get 4-5 hours of screen time depending on what I'm doing (games, browsing, sms).

Email sync and push are probably the most wasteful from a battery perspective.

If you can post a screenshot of your battery usage/screen on time, we can probably tell you what's causing it, but it's most likely because it's doing alot of work with the screen off updating emails, syncing data, etc.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wrxdrunkie:
I also use auto-brightness. I was on WiFi all day that day but do have push email and was mainly web-browsing and just playing around with the phone, read some for a while also.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] relic120:
This is very unacceptable to me. I must have a dud or something. This is my first android device so I may be doing something wrong, coming from iP4.

I took my phone off the charger at 10am after charging all night. The only thing I've done on it since about 12pm is stream music using pandora/di.fm. No video, very little email, sent/received about 3 txts, and that was it.

I also have had auto sync off since last night, I wasn't sure what it was doing but it kept notifying me of uploading crap so turned it off till I understand it better. Brightness all day was on the first/lowest setting of the widget (3 settings total). Wifi is off at about 12pm since there are no signals here and I do not live in an LTE region so I just get HSPA+, I have done no tweaks for LTE on/off or whatever. I also disabled a lot of bloatware apps I don't care for.

That may be a lot of info but I want to be clear. I was pretty damn shocked to see my battery at 9% after less than 6hrs of light use. I have done this "routine" on my iphone for a while now and the most it ever go down by the end of my shift (when I finish my shift at home) at 5pm would be 50-60%. I'm not even understanding why it says "Screen" for 59% when I've had it off like 80% of the time.

At the time I took the screenshot I turned off my music, closed all apps and turned the phone off. I turned off at about 4:30. So 9% with "nothing" happening died in an hour, wtf...

Do I have a dud or am I doing something wrong. I really don't know since I'm new to android. Help me out guys/girls.

-when I first got it, it had 50% charge, I played with it until it died, then charged it over night.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
Wait a couple days and keep using it normally by recharging and stuff. The battery life gets better as you keep using it normally for the first few times you charge it. Like, a lot better.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PurpleFries:
The battery has to settle in. First day for me was 5h50, second was at 10h20. third onwards I'm getting 12-17h reliably with an occasional 20h. All of this is much more usage than you mentioned.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Kellindinda:
Great so far

This is from my third charge, I've had the phone since Friday. It uses almost no juice overnight. I'm a moderate user, emails, texts, web browsing, games, etc. So far this is the best battery life I've had on a phone since my BB days. Btw screen brightness about 30-35%, wifi always on.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kudesai123:
Pretty happy with tja battery life of this phone. Probably used it another 45 minutes after these screenshots and plugged it in.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ddot196:
This is me at work and home. At work for 8 hours downtown Houston solid lte the whole time. WiFi a little bit at the house. Texting, facebook, internet, forums all the while. :) very impressed. Auto brightness btw.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chaosjh:
Veeery nice bro!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Droidz:
This is what I'm getting. And I love it! So much better than my Gnex.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kudesai123:
Yea. The fact that it doesn't have a removable battery doesn't bother me as much now. Now just gotta wait for a reliable root and custom ROM and see if we can't get even more battery life from this beast.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jeremyshaw:
Still have 3 email accounts.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] S8B:
How do I get to that Battery Usage breakdown? I got to it before but I think I might have deleted a few Apps, including that one?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ddot196:
Me after my .ight out. Kinda dru.Kk. drunk. Lol. O this is a continuation from my earlier post.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] allegry:
Battery life is extremely disappointing for me. I'm getting ~8-9 hours total with 3-3.25 hours screen time before I hit 10-12% battery life. I've got wifi turned off, running just 1 widget (clock), and have just one e-mail account for sync. Screen is set to auto-brightness.

I love the screen, ergonomics, and software - but I'm afraid ****ty battery life is going to ruin this phone for me.

I tried running the diagnostic battery test program twice, but at ~10minutes it quits and drops back to the test menu screen.

Any suggestions? Should I take it back to the store and try a different unit?

Edit: I'm on my 4th or 5th full dis/charge cycle. GPS stays off.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DumIam:
This is after the initial charge. My first day using this phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vinuneuro:
Please post what screen brightness when you post results. That affects it tremendously.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] UMGixxer:
OK here is one of my battery stats, the brightness is set to auto:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
Here's a few pics while testing GPS for almost the entire time. I can live with this. Screen was set to half with the power widget.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] aimetti:
I was having horrific standby battery life (20 % overnight) up until removing weather lock screen.

Anyone else see similar issues?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dracophi:
Poor battery life

I am also experiencing poor battery life. This is my second full charge cycle, with the first charge cycle being very similar. I turned auto brightness off and kept brightness at 25%, but the screen still seems to be draining an incredible amount of power with only 1 hour screen on time.

I am in an LTE region and do not have wifi on most of the day. I was syncing 3 push email accounts - for the stats posted so far, do people typically leave auto sync on? Is my battery life abnormal?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
I'm not experiencing fantastic battery life either. I'm leaving autosync on only pushing 1 email account and leaving the screen on auto brightness. It's more than enough for my needs though, my iPhone 4 had abysmal battery life.

How are you guys all getting great stats?

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------

I'm having the same exact stats here. Pretty disappointing, I was expecting to at least reach 5 hours of battery life.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] irishnation09:
Battery drained 40% last night while I was sleeping. Unplugged it at 100 percent and after 8h of standby I'm at 60%. Is this normAL?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cloudyphiz:
I have uninstalled the task killer, I'm in an area with LTE and after 6 hours (one hour of screen time) I'm below 70%. This doesn't seem too bad to me, but it's not in the ballpark of what many are posting. I'm up in the air as to whether or not I should try to exchange it. definitely loving everything else about this phone though, especially coming from an iPhone 4.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greyhulk:
I'm starting to wonder about my phone. I'm sitting at 63% now with 6 hrs, 42 minutes of use and only 16 minutes of screen time.

Battery has been draining much faster idle than I expected. I am connected to LTE all day, but I also leave Wifi on. I expected much better battery life based on the reviews. My GSM Gnex would have stil had about 75% battery left right now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jshahanii:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] brandontrout:
Only had the phone since monday, but done a couple of discharge/recharges, starting to worry if my numbers are going to pick up as high as other people. This is all on auto-brightness, my battery stats from this morning.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] relic120:
Another bad day with this battery. This time, I turned off GPS, turned off lock/home screen weather animation, turned off Weather "by location" and set it to my city. My brightness was on the lowest setting for the first few on battery, then switched to "auto" once I got to my relatively dark cube.

I really don't know what else to do here. Tonight I will try a full restore and just try some of the default settings and see how it does tomorrow.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Bigjim1488:
Pandora is usually the biggest killer of my battery. Today pandora froze up on me and decided to stay running keeping my phone awake. I was not too happy
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] allegry:
Took some battery stats today. This is the best it's done yet, but I'm still not impressed since many others here are claiming up to 25% add'l life. Not sure what the hell is wrong with my set up or unit.

I would link imgur screenshots, but I'm under the 10-post limit:

Screen Time On: 3h 53m

Usage:

Screen: 74%

Words w/ Friends Free: 4%

ICS+: 4% (browser)

Android System: 4%

Android OS: 4%

Cell Standby: 3%

SuperGNES: 2%

Phone Idle: 2%

Wifi: Off

3g/4g/LTE: On

GPS: Off

Screen brightness: auto

It's livable at this point, but disappointing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] relic120:
Well I found the problem and its not good for me. It's mobile data. I took this screen shot when I got home. From the time of my last one I only turned off Mobile Data. I even talked to my wife for like 10 minutes and the phone barely went down to 4%. Yesterday after it got to 9% I just turned my music off and the phone still died like 45 min later.

What does this mean? Is it because I don't have LTE here and the phone is trying to get LTE data all the time? How can just disable 4g and just use 3g at the office?

Edit: I think of all the batter photos I've been seeing, this one is really telling a story. Just look at how long it lasted by just turning off mobile data.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] johnl199:
For those getting 4+ hours screen time, do you have any apps disabled? Or did you not mess with that?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
What is DI Radio and Media server?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
Screen shots for today. Plenty of talking while at work and over 3 hours of screen time. The G-Nex couldn't compete with this phone on its best day so I'm satisfied.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mobilehavoc:
I think I'm getting killed by LTE and no easy way to turn it off. I'm sure battery life on HSPA would be much better.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
Honestly, that's not horrible though. I imagine it gets you through the day at least.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] johnl199:
You are getting better battery life than most of us who only have hspa.

What exactly are your settings to get over 4 hours screen time? Brightness? Do you have any apps/bloat disabled?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mobilehavoc:
Nothing special on brightness just on auto.

I have disabled all the AT&T apps I could find but other than that I have a ton of crap running and syncing which is why it's probably not better than what I have. I'm sure I could prolong it. For the amount of battery in the phone it's quite impressive. My GSM Nexus with a 2000mah battery barely can hit 4hrs of screen time and it's pretty aggressive with battery life and only HSPA.

I will say though that WiFi is a life saver on this phone...when I'm using LTE, it is blazing fast but it absolutely murders the battery like nothing else. I'm hoping future software updates will continue to improve this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] relic120:
DI Radio is the di.fm mobile app to listen to their music. I only used it because pandora was giving me hell at work. Not sure what Media Server is, it may be a part of di.fm?

This has to be it. mobilehavoc is not using Mobile Data all day, he is using wifi. Our Mobile Data, HSPA+ or even LTE in the above case, is killing our phones battary. Anything we can do about this?

I'd love to see high numbers with a high use of mobile data (not wifi) to counter this argument. Then it could just be a "bad" phone issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tinyboss:
Here's my first day on a full overnight charge. Notice the steep drop near the end--that's me spending a solid 30 or 40 minutes playing with slo-mo video. Even with that, it's still on pace for over 18 hours with 4 hours of screen time before hitting 0%. To say I'm happy with these numbers would be a criminal understatement.

The phone is stock--I haven't rooted or disabled anything.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] centex99:
First day after charging... It got to 100% last night so I unplugged... It was still at100 in the am... Though likely not accurately... Most day was on bad 3g switchingto let coverage (bad receptionin room)...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] relic120:
Darn, I wish I had known about the "History Details" would given me much more to investigate with. I'll check it tomorrow after work again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deggy:
Wow. Potential HOX buyer here. Mixed results on battery life. I've never owned a LTE phone before. I'm not in a LTE market either. I think I'm gonna stick/mess around with HSPA+ only phones for a bit.

I came (thats what she said) from a iPhone 4s and am not regretting it love it you will be pleased
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mesasone:
Very disappointing (and surprising) battery results for some of you.

I live in an area with out LTE and leave my mobile data on all day. I have disabled basically as many of the unwanted bloat/pre-installed apps as I could... and will do the rest once I root. I have a much lighter usage pattern than many of you, with typically less than an hour of screen on time, but I've come home with around 80% battery each day this week. That is from 6:30am to 4:00pm. I actually lose a bit more battery at home, as I seem to be getting a weak signal here (seemed to be fine with my captivate) and will lose an addition 15% or so by 10pm with out using the phone at all (or hardly touching it, anyway). I have one e-mail account set up, Gmail,which I think has push enabled by default. I can't find a push option in the settings though. I have auto-sync turned on for both Facebook and Google, everything else is turned off.

I know this isn't terribly helpful for those of you having battery issues, however I can say that merely having data enabled does not necessarily kill your battery on it's own.

Perhaps there is an app keeping the data connection active all day? I would also imagine that streaming internet radio would be pretty rough on the battery as well.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Squeak22:
Gmail sync. It sucks the battery like crazy. Turn that off and the battery will last days.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] americasteam:
On wifi with auto brightness enabled.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
Some power numbers, after I disabled a bunch of apps (mentioned in Maroon Mushroom's thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1639785

30% left after 14.5 hrs of constant use - gazillion emails, some camera shots, web surfing over both Wifi & LTE, AND a 90 min call (voice + BT car audio).

Posting this to help out - I spent a couple of days using the task manager to see which apps were popping up or running unnecessarily in the background. Thought I'd have to wait till rooting to cleanup, but found the "disable" trick and cleaned up what I did not want running.

Would strongly recommend folks seeing battery life problems try this out (please be conservative, to avoid having to factory reset your device).
