This is not a task killer. Also the apps are not aktive in backgraound, they are hibernatet. If you want to kill a task go to task manager.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Juice Defender=Battery Saving App = Not so much of a battery saving app

And Maps, and even facebook are active in the background my friend. by disabling them you are kinda like freezing them anyway. And yes if you read above if you want to kill a task or terminate an app i did mention that you can do that through Task manager. Or even by going into multi tasking app and swiping the one that you do not use anymore exits the app my friend

Trust me i done my research before posting this thread. But i am also open to correcting something if i am wrong.:)
[HTC One X] pnnorth:
Just a small addition to point 2) - If there have been any play store updates to the app, you will need to uninstall the update before it will show the option to disable the app (eg facebook)
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Done added that to the OP. Thanks mate..Hopefully this thread will come to some use to people.:)
[HTC One X] debully:
Nice effort. I wouldn't take it as gospel tho'. But plenty to try and see what works for you.
[HTC One X] tont0:
I already made another thread posting this one, but as I noticed there is one where to gather some common tips, I might as well add it here.

Try to avoid ad supported apps. A research showed that in apps where there is adds, 70% of the power use comes from downloading and managing those adds to your screen. 30sec use of an app that uses adds, might drain your fully charged battery 0.35%-0.70%.

Here is the link for the research http://www.androidauthority.com/ad-suported-android-apps-battery-drain-65716/
[HTC One X] scotty2012:
Very good thread. I tend to do most of what is mentioned anyway. As soon I got the phone I was busy tweaking the settings so that I could get the maximum power out of the battery. I'm not considered a heavy user anyway so it typically lasts 2-3 days.
[HTC One X] gdelrosario:
you can also add to switch to gsm/2g only instead of wcdma/3g in settings >mobile network >Network Mode

specially if you're not planning to use any 3g internet/mms features :)
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Cheers guys...Any tips that we can get i can add them all to the OP so that way we can have one thread which has everything. That way no need for clutter of threads regarding on how to improve battery life people can come here and read and discuss. Thank you guys i really appreciate your help
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Added the new tips to the OP. Thanks :)

Qn: Are all battery saving apps not actually saving battery then? (E.g. Juice Defender)
[HTC One X] treebill:
wiping battery stats is done when reaching 100% charge and holds nothing but the useage of apps and does nothing to calibrate or improve battery life.

heres a quote to back this up.

Deleting this file will basically wipe your battery usage reports, which is done anyways automatically when the phone is fully charged (hence you'll see a clear list when you reach a full charge). "Deleting it is not going to do anything to make your more device more fantastic and wonderful".

[HTC One X] Goku80:
i will be honest with you. When i had my galaxy s2 and i had juice defender on that drained more battery than it was suppose to be saving. I could find you posts from users and kernel developers that i know from the s2 forums that advice against it. It is down to you to try and test but from my own testings i would advice against using them:)
[HTC One X] junialum:
Thanks for the reply. My question was more general. Do you mean that there are no good battery apps?
[HTC One X] Mzhaze3:
How can we tel which apps support ads? I keep getting notifications in my status bar from random sites how can I stop that.

Thank you
[HTC One X] Goku80:
True. You do have a point. but also on the other hand there has been people that saying by wiping battery stats that deletes the battery history makes everything start fresh as you mentioned above. What i am trying to get maybe it works maybe it does not. But one thing i know from my own experience by deleting those battery stats did help a bit on my battery. Hence why i posted that in the OP.:)

Like i said mate. In general i have not bothered with battery apps. For me they eat more battery than they are suppose to be saving. If you follow my guide and also search on xda to find more threads like mine most will say that battery apps really do nothing..But it is down to you at the end of the day.:)
[HTC One X] Goku80:
That is easy to figure out. Most of the times it will be all the free apps in the market. If you are rooted install ADaway and that will install the hosts on your phone and will block those ads.;)
[HTC One X] Mzhaze3:
I'm not rooted lol
[HTC One X] Goku80:
have a look at this thread here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130642

[HTC One X] Goku80:
Regarding Juice Defender or Green Power. If there are members out there who use these apps and can provide me with your battery screenshots that those apps work for you please let me know and i can use post 2 by putting your results up and suggest to people that they are ok to use and that they actually do help with battery life. Will await feedback. Many thanks
[HTC One X] hardstuffmuc:
Hi, great thread...with good ideas to try out ...

Here is my input..disabling the options for louder ringtone when inside a pocket and stopping the ringtone when picking up the device might also help.

I remember these features came with the Desire S also and the understanding is that the sensors constantly checking the surrounding brightness, or position of the fone...I had them always unticked on the DS and of course also on my HOX!
[HTC One X] Goku80:
cheers mate. your tip has been added to the OP.:)
[HTC One X] piero0402:

[HTC One X] rootingdestroyer:
wow, this is some really basic knowledge. also, i find keeping it on the minimum volume is a MASSIVE battery saver as aposed to keeping it on vibrate. think about it. does it take you more energy to talk softly, or jiggle around and 'vibrate' your body?
[HTC One X] stm2008:
Hi, it is a real good thread:)

Regarding pocket mode and quiet ring on pickup, I wonder if system requires to check it constantly? Why not just start check it after a call is coming in?

Actually, this two features are very very nice, and very useful to me.

I will turn it off and see if battery life can be improved or not before making decision.

Thanks again.
[HTC One X] rootingdestroyer:
because it'd make the process of answering calls so much slower :p
[HTC One X] Fruktsallad:
Number nine on the list appears not to apply to the One X, since it actually has longer standby time in 3G than in 2G (however they pulled that off). Check GSMarena for the stats.

Charging via USB gives significantly better results ,charged over night via wall charger and after 45 mins of browsing it had lost nearly 25 % and the back was hot even though it was just web browsing.so charged back up via USB and after 45 mins web browsing I had lost 17 % and not heat on the back of the phone

[HTC One X] eteyen1:
Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but what test did you with juice defender?

I'm just wondering really what exactly the reason is for these apps not being wirth getting? Cause the principle seems sound to me ie turn off data when not being used (we all know data is a massive drain), regulate auto-sync and such like.

Just seems like you guys are saying they dont work, and its not that I dont believe you, but can you actually post data/proof that they dont work? Or at least explain why they don't work?

Sorry if I've missed this somewhere

Great advice I even charged it via USB last night and the battery has lasted longer today.

Tried the usb charge and it made no difference whatsoever.

Not that I have any problems with my battery life.

i charged from my xbox lol they are really slow USB maybe ~300 mA (not sure) i put it on at 10pm at night @ 20% woke up at 6 am its was on 76%, 8 hours in total and it didn't drain any slower then from the 1 A charger from HTC.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .:QueNNch:.:
I had recently installed the GingerXperia rom on my W8 and it worked fine inspite of some wifi issues...after a month i installed the GingerDX (to get rid of the wifi issues) on my phone without any full wipe 'cause both of them were CM and i retain all my contacts, logs,SMS, Apps etc.

This ROM works fine without any wifi bugs but, when i listen to songs on my speakerphone, the sound becomes a bit crappy in some words of the song. :( I also tried to adjust the equalizer into many different options..still no improvement. :confused:

Someone please help me with this problem and suggest what should i do.

Thanks and Regards !

[Additional: One of my friend suggested me a full wipe. He said if i don't do it, i could experience some bugs.]

Backup and restore all your data via Titanium Backup.

Also , please mention what kernel you are on.

it's not an equalizer problem. Is this problem on your earphones as well ?

If the problem persists , flash another ROM and see what happens.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit06:
Hey guys, I have been having a ton of issues with my phone lately and I am at a loss on what to do from here... I am always having lag, random reboots, and on occasion complete data loss and nothing but force closings on every single app.

I have tried numerous roms both AOSP and Sense and several different kernel combos all with the same problems. My ROM install process is as follows...

1) Wipe Everything 3x

2) Transfer files needed for flashing to SD

3) Run VR_SUPERWIPE.zip 3x

4) Flash ROM

5) Flash Kernel

6) Flash GAPPS (if AOSP)

7) Flash dta2sd

8) Reboot

Phone Info:

White EVO HW 004

Recovery: AmonRA 3.11

SD: 8gb PNY Class 10

Battery: Stock

I usually get to the setup screen and I am able to get everything setup such as wifi and such. I let the phone sit for about 5 minutes then I reboot and procede with the rest of my setup process such as app installs, themeing, etc. On my initial reboot I go into recovery and fix permissions. 7 out of 10 times my phone will get borked right here and I can never get back to the system and I just get stuck at the white evo screen... I have tried cache and dalvik-cache wipes with no luck.

I have even unrooted my phone and tried to run everything as stock with the same results. I am pissed and frustrated and I do not know what to do anymore short of taking the phone and smashing it in to the ground and running it over with a truck :mad:

I hope someone has some idea of what is going on and I can get my issue resolved and if not tell me how to get a new phone out of Sprint :D

Thanks in advance!

Had the same issue a while back and it was a2sd, everything would be fine until a reboot. Not sure what it is but the a2sd was the culprit...

Also, what ext are you using? ext 4 will bork in the same manner, make sure you are on ext 3.

It's been over a month since I updated the radios and I did update my profile and prl. I was just on Tommy's Classic and did another update so I am pretty sure that was not the culprit. :)

I did try ext4 but like you did figure that was part of the problem so I hooked up my card to my pc and did a full format and repartitioned my card to ext3 with no swap. I did try not going with a2sd but it seems that if I flash that at the very end it seems to work. I never had a problem flashing everything at once but I guess my phone is just being a ass now :P
