[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Hey guys,

so I recently purchased an International HTC One X and hsve loved it so far, but I think the battery is draining too fast.

On standby, it drained from 93% to 89-92% in 8 hrs which I suppose is good, but while using, it drops pretty quick. I wanna know how many hours or how much percentage does your battery decrease by while on standby or during use?

By the statistics I have provided, do u think there's anything wrong with my battery?

PS: I used the built in battery app, go to settings>power

Thanks, Id really appreciate it if u could help out since I'm worried if my newly expensively bought phone has something wrong with it or not, ill hit the thanks button ;)

Battery drain

I'm currently on Leedroid' ROM and the behaviour is similar to what I had with the stock rom and looks like the folowing:

Data or WiFi on, autobrightness on, autosync off

Hangs a litle on 100% then dops abruptly from 98-97% to 80% in about 4-5 hrs with a screen time under 30'

from 70% to 30% however, the battery drain "magically" improves giving 6-8 hrs of standby including 2 hrs of screen time of which the most is used to browse the net via 3G.

At the moment my stats are: 13h 50' on baterry, 2h 15' screen time, 21% left

I got a steep drop from 31% to 21%, just as I was checking the stats for this message, but bare in mind this is the first run with Leedroid (flashed last evening) so I expect things to improve.

After 10-12 days on the stock rom I remember getting some 3-3.5 hrs of screen time within 16 - 18 hrs total before reaching 10%.

So i suggest, give the battery a little time to settle, then adjust your usage habits according to what you get (like turning autobrightness off, data off etc).

I for one am waiting for some stable kernel improvments regarding the tegra power mangement (sounds cool, have no idea what I'm talking about;) and I expect to get some 20-30% more screen time within the same time period (18-20hrs).

I've been running a few battery tests. Last night I wanted to totally burn out the battery so I used it down to about 5% and started a youtube movie streaming over wifi at full brightness. An hour later...... it finally died.

The companion core on this thing can really confuse you are testing standby time or music and video playback.

I want a mod for the phone where I can toggle it to use 1, 2, or 4 cores. To the OS, it looks like core0 is also the companion core.
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thanks :D

Thanks for the reply :D

so do you think there really is something wrong with my battery?

i read on a popular android website that they played a video on mx player in loops and it lasted for 6 hrs and 6 mins, which makes like 17 percent for every hour of viewing. I downloaded mx player, gonna watch a movie, and hope the battery drain is on par :D

The less battery doesnt bother me much, what does is that im worried that there MAY be something wrong with my battery, gonna try out for a day or 2, gonna see if my results can match urs, thanks :D

just hope theres nothing wrong with my battery :(

PS: i have everything stock, i unlocked bootloader, flash CWM5.8.x.x but returned to stock later.
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
So the browsing drained about 70% of the battery right? Suppose those 11 hours of sleep took even 10%, and u have 21% left, so u spent about 70% on the browsing right? Thanks :D
[HTC One X] treebill:
when you charge to 100% it drops down to 95% then charges back up to stop over charging, who ever it doesn't show you the % it just says 100% thats why you can lose ~5% in a few seconds when first taking it off charge.

yesterday i got 14 hours 9% left and had just a little over 4 hours screen time on leedroid 5.1.

playing games is a massive drain ;)
[HTC One X] oftiklaus:
Thanks, that's what I hope to achieve. I did a factory reset, will fully charge and see how it fares tomorrow. Btw, I don't play games on battery precisely because of the massive consumption.
[HTC One X] treebill:
That day I didn't play games just the internet sms well most of it was using Xda app lol
[HTC One X] DJ Set:
Got over 3 days uptime on low brightness and abit over 1 hr screen usage.Had constantly WiFi on. As long I start using the screen non stop or especially play games the battery is draining really fast.

Battery Fix

I had a pretty serious battery issue during my first couple days with the phone, where the battery drain was extremely fast and inconsistent, sometimes dropping 5% at a time and giving me maybe 8 hours of life total.

The issue was that the battery tracking in the phone was messed up. When you go to Settings>Power, the default setting for "Fast Boot" is on. This seems to mess up the way that battery drain is tracked. I fixed the issue by turning Fast Boot off, charging up the phone to 99% (it wouldn't reach 100, that's how bad it was messed up), then restarting it. Now, it works perfectly and easily gets me through the day with moderate/heavy usage; I watched a 30 min video streaming from youtube of wifi and lost only 7%.

The downside is now the phone takes 5 seconds longer to start up :D.
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thanks mate for the info :D

I'm convinced there's nothing wrong with my battery
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thanks bro!
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
This is what I was looking for :D thanks mate!!!!!!
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Why not join the Battery Stats thread that has like 20-30 pages of discussion already.. I fail to see how a new thread every day helps people to find what they want to find..

Rocking the Lee on my HTC One X
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
I did that, and streamed on youtube for 30 mins, lost like 9 percentage, is it good? or is there something with my battery?
[HTC One X] Techimplant:
All of your battery issue will be sorted out people..don't forget that One X is still running on GB kernel n so is transformer prime..Nvidia n HTC are working on the ICS kernel..n once they are out with it our HOX is gonna blow away everything in the Market in both performance n battery life :beer:

[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thanks man! but i was worried if my battery is less compared to other ppl with the same phone, but that doesnt seem to be the case :DD
[HTC One X] A0A:
That's perfectly fine. Battery drain will never be perfectly consistent (perhaps your video had better graphics/resolution than mine did). Looks like your battery's OK now:).
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Thanks mate :D Really appreciate the help ;) am on LeeDroid One Xtreme now with BrickedKernel v0.3. which Rom are u on?
[HTC One X] theDroidfanatic:
Btw did you watch the video with speakers, headphones, or no sound?
[HTC One X] A0A:
I think I just ran it with no sound for 30 mins to see how the battery was. Sound takes up pretty much no battery, so don't let it concern you.
[HTC One X] A0A:
Oh and I'm using the stock ROM (I have ATT's with locked bootloader:mad:)

This thread is almost a year old, where did you dig this up. I can't say its highly up to date now.

So you have to give some more info......
[Motorola Droid 3] fishacura:
I used the 5.6.890 flashable zip files (in the developer sub forum) months ago to restore my droid back to "stock" 5.6.890 after trying a few mods. I am assuming from my reading that because my phone is rooted I will not get 5.7.960. So my question is, will 5.7.960 flashable files eventually become available so we can flash them ourselves using the same method??
[Motorola Droid 3] linuxgator:
There's never any guarantee that the fxz files will become available, but there's a decent likelihood that they may soon. However, nobody really has a timetable for it.
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
If you are stock, have the stock recovery....it doesn't matter if you are rooted.

The stock recovery will install the update and remove root....you just have to re-root after the update...but this time with the Droid 4 root method - motofail.

I had different MMs.apk in my /system/app folder, my own wallpaper app as well.....and root. I got the SOAK update and it installed without issue, removing root and screwing up the rights on my alternative MMs.apk. I re-rooted, reset rights and was done.
[HTC Rezound] Romans8vs1:
I have multiple nandroid backups that I would like to restore at any given time. Currently, I am trying to restore my CleanRom Standard 4.4 backup. I know I created the backup using an older version of AmonRa (I'm not sure which version). When I try to restore the backup, it error's out saying "oops...something went wrong! Please check the recovery log". Is it because I am not using the same version of AmonRa?

I wiped everything and reflashed the rom before attempting to restore the backup.

I made the backup on another phone and was S-On when it was created. I am currently on a new phone that is S-Off.

Does anyone know how I can restore this backup?

Thanks, and have blessed day!
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
My first guess would be you can't restore from another phone. The md5 wouldn't match. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

If they're both the same model, create nandroid backups of both in case something goes wrong (and put them somewhere safe), then flash the backup from the old one to the new one.

Please use this new guide to flash a new radio

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1684477

We are glad we have our unlocked devices and can happily flash Custom ROM`s, backup and restore nandroids or flash mods. Nevertheless there are still some restrictions, since we still have no S-Off. This week the latest 1.78 OTA update arrived and devs are working hard to upgrade their ROM`s to the new One S ROM base.

BUT...

assuming you already use a Custom ROM and you want to flash latest stuff, in any of these ROM`s built on latest base you will still use your old Radio, which was shipped initially. Since 1.78 OTA brought a new Radio (baseband), with S-Off it would be painless to flash it via fastboot or recovery, but we still aren`t there.

BUT...

there is a way to use latest ROM base with latest Radio. You just need to be willing to go that extra route.

What`s the benefit of upgrading a Radio?

The baseband is responsible for:

Signal quality

WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity

GPS / aGPS

Can improve battery due to improved signal quality

Can even improve camera

and more...

Who needs this?

Everyone who flashed first Custom Rom BEFORE OTA 1.78 arrived and wants to enjoy latest Baseband. Please check first, whether OTA for your region / provider is already available.

This is how you can upgrade your RADIO without S-Off

Step 1:

Make an nandroid in recovery

Step 2:

Download my stock 1.53 nandroid (maybe someone can upload to a faster mirror), unzip it and copy the folder in sdcard/clockworkmod/backup folder

http://minus.com/mquC9WDG6/4

Dropbox mirror - thx @ angelsanges

https://www.dropbox.com/s/av1w0aip9a...3_original.rar

Step 3:

Restore my Stock153Clean.zip nandroid in recovery

Step 4:

Download my fastboot folder (in case you haven`t installed SDK) and copy stock recovery image and clockwork recovery image in the unpacked fastboot folder

Fastboot folder: http://minus.com/mIA3OFkYq/3

Stock recovery: http://minus.com/mIA3OFkYq/18

Clockwork Recovery (or use another CWM version, whatever you prefer): http://minus.com/mIA3OFkYq/4

Step 5:

Boot in Bootloader (with adb reboot bootloader or Power and Vol. down) and connect your device. Navigate in cmd to your fastboot folder and flash stock recovery with:

fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img

Step 6:

Reboot and check for system updates in settings info (that can last a while, sometimes you need to try several times), download and install when prompted. Wait a few minutes for your device to install the update and reboot.

Step 7:

Boot in Bootloader and connect your device. Navigate in cmd to your fastboot folder and flash Clockwork recovery with:

fastboot flash recovery r2-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville.img

Step 8:

Restore your own nandroid (which does not backup and restore radio images) and now you have upgraded your Radio ;)

[HTC One S] AndrewSM:
he_stheone64, I guess I am out of luck again and this won't work with CID T-MOB101?
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
any one got a mirror for the 1.53 nandroid ? got a estimated time of 5 hours left !!, also, couldnt i just use a 1.53 rom ?? its clean, untouched stock, from RUU, no root or nothing...

will i also get this update with vodafone UK CID ? VODAP100 i think it is

EDIT, The update isnt even available !! yet according to my provider it is !

i have stock ROM and stock recovery ! still no bloody update
[HTC One S] jodue:
nice, probably this will fix the umts<>hspa toggling problem i am experiencing ...

since the download of the nandroid backup takes hours i tried restoring my own backup of stock 1.53. only difference is root. the update was detected immediately after i rebooted from cwr. sadly the update process did not succeed. the progress bar stopped after ~25% and then i just got a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it. after 1-2 minutes the phone rebooted and it's still stock 1.53 with old radio. any ideas what could be missing?

i did revert to stock recovery and there was ~2gb of space left on /sdcard/

probably root?!

//edit: found the problem. i changed 3 lines in build.prop which gets patched in the update process ... removed changes (and unrooted) and now the update works.
[HTC One S] cangia:
link for the stock rom is very very slow :(
[HTC One S] he_stheone64:
That`s why I asked for a mirror in OP ;)
[HTC One S] he_stheone64:
yes you can...
[HTC One S] he_stheone64:
As fas a I now, T-Mobile hasn`t released an update yet, so in that case you still need to be patient.
[HTC One S] he_stheone64:
As mentioned in the OP, check FIRST whether your provider already delivers an update. If you have a matching RUU for your device, you can flash back also with the RUU. This certainly requires some extra steps, but does the job.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
according to my provider, its already out, but i cannot find the update.. i went back to stock rom, stock recovery, still couldnt find it...

i have downloaded the OTA update.. someone extracted it and uploaded it, but as for how to flash it.....ive no idea lol
[HTC One S] rousseauxy:
Any improvement with this new radio? :)
[HTC One S] AndrewSM:
Thanks. Well I flashed the genuine ROM 1.53 over the stock Tmobile bloatware ROM. The OTA will work anyways when Tmo releases it? Because I've read that OTA doesn't work if the system partition has been modified...

This is info I got from the guy who posted the OTA zip:

Need stock recovery to install. And you may loose root.

Root Keeper from market is said to work for keeping root. The "one click-tool" here in the development section can easily flash stock recovery for you. You can always re-flash CWM after update is installed.

And this is how you would install OTA zip file for sensation, guess it works the same way. You can give it a try, I can't since I don't have matching CID (the list of supported CIDs is in the OTA zip file in firmware.zip): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16862231&postcount=1
[HTC One S] ZeppeMan:
I don't see any improvements although, battery seems to go a tiny bit longer, but it can also be my imagination :p
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Thanks mate i will try that method... Do you think the OTA.zip file needs to be renamed to update.zip ? or does it not matter ? i cant find any info regarding this...

Also, Will applying the update through recovery change the radio.img ?
[HTC One S] AndrewSM:
Either update.zip or PJ40IMG.zip I guess... There's radio.img file inside the firmware.zip in the OTA so I assume it does update the radio too.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
well ill try both lol thanks
[HTC One S] angelsanges:
yes.

[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Well it didnt work :( There was no update available STILL!!!! and flashing it in stock recovery was a no go,, Everytime i looked for the file it just rebooted and said some errors...

I guess il just have to wait for another method !!
[HTC One S] psych0t1c:
Just for the record and for informational purposes:

it seems that plain exchange of the recovery and rooting does not necessarily impair the ability to d/l the OTA. My HOS is HTCDev unlocked, rooted via booting Pauls boot.img which gives permanent root, set up with the latest CWM recovery and modded to some degree by having removed bloat apps.

Stll the OTA feature gives me a download notice. I doubt it would do so if the condition for installing it are not met. I am just non nandroiding my setup just in case and after that will have it install the OTA. Gonna see whats changed thereafter.

(This is an unbranded, carrier free EU version)

EDIT, OK, I stand corrected, it requires at least going back to regular recovery. But after quickly restoring stock recovery with the OneClickTool it was all smooth sailing afterwards for me. Download of the OTA, automatic reboot and install. Checking RootKeeper it seems root was retained with no problems. FYI and YMMV
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
man this is bull**** ! lol

Ive done everything possible to get this update !! Its just not showing up.. I looked inside the OTAupdate.zip and my CID is there, I had stock everything and still couldnt get it..

Its been rolled out for vodafone, so its a mystery why i cant get it...

Cant wait for S-OFF so i can just flash the damn radio ! or at least get supercid !!
[HTC One S] psych0t1c:
I had the same problem with the 25% abort the first time but not on 2nd attempt. For insight, which lines did you modify?
[HTC One S] he_stheone64:
Just to get some stuff straight:

Since Android 4.03 you can`t flash OTA`s manually in recovery, so the posted link was simply outdated.

You can be rooted and you still get OTA, but your ROM needs to be "untouched", means all stuff should still be in system as the update.zip expects it. That`s why you can either use my stock 1..53 nandroid or can install a stock 1.53 RUU (which requires additional steps).

You need to follow my How-To and flash stock recovery, since OTA`s will not work anymore with custom recoveries (that was different before Android 4.03).

So without S-Off this is unfortunately the only way to update our Radio as long as we use Custom ROM`s. My personal experience after first night was improved battery life, everything else was pretty much the same (but that`s already nice to have).
[HTC One S] he_stheone64:
Thx - I trust these are stock nandroids and virgin`s (without your personal data)? I have added the 1.53 mirror to OP.

The 1.78 will not work for this purpose, since Radio is not part of nandroid and if you restore 1.78, you certainly will get no OTA, since you already have latest firmware ;)
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Ive followed your guide to the letter,, Still cant get this update :( Its available ! even the Info.txt inside the OTA matches my device.. this is a bummer !
[HTC One S] he_stheone64:
I trust problem in your case is, that updates in general are never shared everywhere at the same time. Ususally it takes about a week, until everybody gets the notification. Since the first wave was just out 2 days ago, all you can do is beeing patient and try again in a few days.
[HTC One S] angelsanges:
yes are virgin.
[HTC One S] cangia:
all done .. Baseband version is 0.16.31501 ecc ecc ... but .. Build-Nummer is 1.64.997 ecc ecc .. why ? :confused:
[HTC One S] HighRoIIer:
That is the costum rom you reinstalled, or???

And anyways, your guid workesd like a charme. Baseband is up to date. Many Thanks =)
[HTC One S] customromfan:
I get a problem after flashing a stock recovery. whenever i try to install the update, it just aborts while being in recovery mode - and erases itself :D . when i try it manually i can see that the recovery shows "can't mount sdcard" or something like that. so I can't access the "sdcard" with the update upon. this is definitly also the reason, why the automtatic update process doesn't work.

but i have no idea how i can solve this. anybody has an idea?
[HTC One S] jodue:
it solved my data 3g<>H issue and the static noise i previously had in calls :)
[HTC One S] cangia:
that's mean .. it's work :) great! i restore a previous backup of Black Dragon 4.5 .. but if the baseband is up to date .. it's all right :)
[HTC One S] he_stheone64:
Baseband and build are completely independent. 1.64 is your ROM build, 0.16 the latest Radio. When you flash a new ROM like Trick Droid 2.0, build will be 1.78 and baseband still 0.16
[HTC One S] b8drf:
I also installed the stock 1.53 nandroid from the mirror which all went OK (apart from the language of the ROM being set to German ;-) ... But I was unable to get any OTA updates despite many, many manual attempts.

Both azzledazzle and I are on Vodafone UK supplied One-S units, maybe this has some influence over not receiving OTA's after restoring the stock 1.53 nandroid?

I guess we are stuck on baseband 0.15 until we can S-OFF and flash radios seperately ?
[HTC One S] he_stheone64:
As mentioned before OTA`s always take a few days, before they are pushed to all users. In any case you can do the following to ensure, it`s not the combo of VF UK and my retail nandroid.

This assumes you already have a nandroid of your current state.

1. Check whether you haven`t deleted anything in your system, that would prevent OTA to flash successfully. If you haven`t deleted system apps before, you are fine. If not, add these apps again.

2. Relock your bootloader and flash a stock recovery

3. Flash the original VF UK RUU (if it`s available)

if VF UK RUU is not available, just skip all these steps and ask, whether someone else can upload a clean VF UK nandroid here.
