[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Chrysis:
This may have been discussed already but I read through most of this thread. Could GPS be part of the issue? I haven't notice this problem yet until just now I decided to use Google navigate to go to a friend's place a ways away. When I arrived the back of the phone was very hot even through the case, and battery temperatures were over 50°C and status was overheat. After turning off GPS and rebooting the phone the temperature seems to be returning to normal.

Whatever the issue is I hope a long term solution is found before too long as I LOVE my phone and both cleanROM and CM9 are running great, but this issue is making me start thinking about returning it for an SGS3 before the 30 days. :/
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neocryte:
I keep my GPS off, and I have that battery issue... so don't think it's GPS-related.

I rooted and unlocked my bootloader yesterday, installed CleanROM Lite. Will monitor the battery usage, and keep you guys posted what I see. Someone suggested on another thread to remove Sense entirely, so that would be my next step (i.e. try an AOKP ROM or something else without Sense). I really like CleanROM Lite so far, very very fast... we'll see if the battery issue is mitigated/fixed by cleaning up some of the bloatware processes.

Definitely a decent workaround, but man... just sucks to have to remember to airplane mode it every time you hop in the subway. That's several times a day for me.

Zeuzinn - are you running stock, or something else?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EliWay:
Right now I'm on CleanRom LE 3.0, but i've tried them all. I even tried CM9 last night but the performance was terrible and touchscreen response was very bad. Heck I even ran quadrant and got a 3000+, the score of an original Atrix.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neocryte:
Gotcha.

I am still seeing the battery issue this morning on CleanROM 3 Lite. Bummer, was hoping it would at least improve.

I guess next step is to remove Sense entirely and see if that helps.

---------- Post added at 08:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 AM ----------

I am guessing you didn't have a chance to see if the battery issue was still there... :) Have you tried the AOKP builds? I think it's just stock ICS, someone on my other thread suggested that it should fix the problem, because it seems to be inherent in Sense.

Btw, this may be worth trying - disables LTE, so we can see if the issue persists with LTE off:

Tried it out - the method above works to disable LTE, which is great. I may try using HSPA only, just to see if the battery issue persists when I take my subway commute.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EliWay:
I'd love to use that workaround since HSPA+ speeds are more than enough for me, but whenever I use that hack my signal keeps dropping! I'm not just talking about my internet connection.. Even voice drops. That may or may not be related to this whole debacle,but please keep an eye in your icons and let me know if your connection holds up.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neocryte:
Will do - I will try it tonight and over the next few days.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SpeedGundam:
Thanks for all the testing. The same thing here. I also live in Boston and commute by Subway. It got warm and drain battery like crazy even not in use.

I will keep an eye on my HOX and see if I can find any correlation with the LTE.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EliWay:
It shouldn't take you very long to spot it, at least it doesn't for me when I use that APN. Once turning the screen on I would notice the 4G icon missing but very quickly popping back up, meaning at some point the phone lost all reception. And then I would be browsing or just looking at the screen and I would see it dropping. It happens very frequently.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neocryte:
Gotcha, thanks for describing - I will look out for it. Either way this is not a good solution, since we bought LTE devices for a reason... but it would certainly narrow the problem down to LTE radio issues.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WuTofu:
I tried this this morning, and my phone no longer gets hot, but battery drain is still there, to a lesser extent though. I'm losing about 2% every 15 minutes on idle. Is the battery drain still there for you?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EliWay:
Not at all. Maybe now that can be attributed to an app or you're just being kinda OCD about it(I wouldnt blame you) :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
Did you guys flash the new radio yet
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EliWay:
Yes and it still does it. Didnt have much time to test it though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WuTofu:
Haha maybe I am being OCD about it. I think checking the battery every couple of minutes could potentially be a factor.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neocryte:
Haha I know what you guys mean. As soon as this battery issue is solved somehow, I am removing the battery % icon from the notification area... I focus on it way too much.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neocryte:
Zeuzinn - I see what you mean, I started to notice this as well.. lose signal every once in a while, and it's relatively frequent. I'll keep playing with it over the weekend and report back.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neocryte:
I so have to say though, battery life is unreal without LTE. Also no issues after my subway ride home...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neocryte:
The every-once-in-a-while signal loss is annoying though, not really viable for long term use.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WuTofu:
I still seem to be getting significant battery drain, but BBS isn't giving me any data on a rogue app or anything.

Although I do remember that I forgot to turn off airplane mode when I lost signal for a while and I didn't experience negative effects until I charged my phone completely. I'll do more testing to figure out what it is.

Also, turning off data does not seem to prevent the battery drain.

Those should help show what is causing your battery to drain and phone to get hot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EliWay:
I'm going try saving a Logcat on my way home tonight to analyze it. I can't believe people haven't been more vocal about this :( I worry that this will never get fixed and I'm gonna have to deal with that for the life of this phone. I even contemplated getting a GS3 since I'm still under 30 days, but I REALLY don't want a Samsung :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neocryte:
Zeuz - Can you return the phone after rooting it though? :) Also, have you tried any non-Sense ROMs by any chance? I know you mentioned CM9, but the performance was really bad.

I can confirm that having LTE off fixes the issue, so it's strictly LTE-related. This is why we have not heard much about it - a lot of people are still on HSPA+, and most people don't lose connection regularly like we do.

But yeah, very annoying... I am going to turn LTE back on today, HSPA+ seems soooo slooooow after being used to LTE, haha. I guess I'll have to Airplane Mode it every time I head into the subway... and reboot if I forget. And I still want to try a non-Sense ROM, although I am kind of loving my CleanROM setup right now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EliWay:
I doubt the guys at the RadioShack I bought my phone from would look for root... They're kinda clueless...

As for a non-sense rom, as much as people rave about it, CM9 was really bad for me. Performance wasn't good, touch screen response was horrible and the camera which I find myself using a lot (since its soooo good) is missing a lot of features including video. I prefer to live with the lte drainage bug than having a phone with incomplete features.

Going HSPA+ only may solve the issue, but don't you get a ton of disconnects? I certainly do. What we need is a true LTE off switch.. I'm pretty sure it keeps disconnecting because its trying to pick up LTE but the APN won't let it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
Make sure you contact att and htc support so they know about this bug so they can fix it, well, if they do
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neocryte:
I am probably going to try AOKP's next build, just to check it out.

Yes, a true LTE switch would be great. But also, I want to use LTE - I am paying for it, and it's fast...

How do we submit an official bug/report to HTC?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KLLSWITCH:
thats weird i have the heat issue and im not in an LTE area
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] umer936:
I live in suburban.

I live in a more sub-urban area. (Actually, more rural than urban) and I also notice my phone is CONSTANTLY burning! Also, my battery went from 95% to dead in about 4-4 and a half hours.

Technically, I have LTE here, but it's VERY spotty and I was thinking (especially after reading this thread) that my spotty connection has to do with it.

I am running 100% stock. No root. Oh, and I have a USA HTC One X from AT&T.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] yusufq:
chicago

I just wanted to add my voice to the growing chorus. I live in chicago--an LTE city--and have been having the same problem. The first day I got my phone, the battery life was amazing. However, it started doing it the second day, it got hot and then the battery life starting dropping fast, like 50% in a couple hours. The next day, when it started doing that again, I rebooted it and it stopped draining. I've been looking for a culprit app for a while, but havn't found one. The LTE story sounds convincing. Now every time I feel it getting hot, I reboot it. Sometimes have to reboot 2-3 times/day. I'm running stock AT&T. I love this phone, except for the lack of SD and/or free dropbox, but if there's no fix for this soon I'm returning it for the SGS3.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EliWay:
Let's all take some time and contact HTC about this. We should be thorough and explain in detail how to reproduce the issue. To avoid receiving a standard response from a clueless rep, we should ask them to relay this message to their engineers.

The more people sending this, the better. Link to this thread for reference...

If we don't do this, we are the ones who are going to suffer as this goes unnoticed.

Here's the page:

http://www.htc.com/www/contact/
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dtp7:
Also having this issue in San Diego. Interestingly I notice it more at home where I have excellent LTE service, and haven't seen it at my office where I consistently have about 10% time without signal. Anyways I'll contact HTC today in the hopes that they'll start to listen if enough people complain!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] KLLSWITCH:
just a FYI this fixed my heat and batt drain issue
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EliWay:
I'm happy to know that it fixed your issue , but as you said earlier , you are not in an LTE area, which the issue outlined in this thread seems to have direct correlation to. Still, that's good reference for people having battery drain related to the WiFi issue... the issue most of us are having , unfortunately though are unrelated.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EliWay:
That's the thing though..You may have excellent service at home, But how is service on your way home? Some of us here also have excellent service at home and even at work, but once we take the underground subway and lose all signal, this issue emerges. It only takes a 5 minute signal loss to trigger it, it seems.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dtp7:
Service is 2-4 bars HSPA+ most of the way home, with maybe a couple of 30 second service drops. Sitting at my desk during the day, I've got 1-2 bars of service, fluctuating between HSPA+ and LTE, with periods of several minutes at a time where I lose service. Never noticed the hot+battery drain at work, or even when I get to the train station after leaving work (where I have 4-5 bars LTE). I was thinking it might be something to do with my home WiFi, but lately I've been on wifi at work too so that seems unlikely.

I'll try to keep better track of it and figure out if regaining LTE service at home has any correlation.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WuTofu:
I notice a possible correlation that battery drain seems to only happen when

The phone successfully regains LTE service after losing signal. ( I think the time that you have no signal might correlate with battery drain, not sure yet)

AND I reconnect to any WiFi. It is ambiguous whether or not I experience the battery drain not on WiFi, but it always becomes apparent when I connect to WiFi (usually an immediate drain of 5% within a couple of minutes)

Not sure if others have the same experience but hopefully we can narrow down this problem and duplicate it relatively consistently.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dtp7:
I have noticed the same thing... definitely seems more severe when connected to WiFi (in an area with LTE service) than just connected to LTE. I still do have significant drain over LTE, but it drains more than twice as fast when I'm on WiFi.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EliWay:
I tested this today. Did not turn airplane mode on for my train ride , and also turned WiFi off. Phone got warm and battery started draining... Got home and waited about 20 minutes, still warm. Powered phone off, phone cold in 3 minutes.

:(

WiFi may make it worse, but it definitely still happens even its turned off.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
I can be in a warm room and the phone will get really warm, about 96F on the XDA app, but as soon as I open a browser it will literally jump to over 100F in 2 seconds. If I go back to the XDA app it will drop right back down. Wtf is wrong that these phone companies? Nothing on any of these phones is consistent. All they care about is the money. The hell with making something that works. That temperature is way too hot to be comfortable to hold. I couldn't put my display brightness up to full even if I wanted to. It would fry the phone. Try making a call and holding the phone next to your ear when it's that warm. Makes you not wanna ever make a phone call. Can't put a case on. Can't put a screen protector on. This is unacceptable. What's worst of all is battery life suffers because of it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] umer936:
Mine jumps to over 115 degrees. I have a case and screen protector.

Mine even gets to 110 in my pocket, even without use.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
How can you stand it? 100 degrees feels uncomfortable to me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chivamex10:
My phone got stupid hot today while I was playing back Rango in 720p. Which I totally understand but my question is if it's safe for the phone to get that hot?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
I think around 130 is when it can really cause problems. Maybe a little higher.

returning for sgs3

I've finally gotten tired of the battery drain issue and I'm returning it for the sgs3.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] phishie:
This is very frustrating - I think I'm suffering from this issue. I've been focused on figuring out what app could be draining my battery / making my phone hot and it appears it may just be some bad HTC code from the radio, etc.

I posted about my issue here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28867513#post28867513

I really wish AT&T / HTC would address this, it makes me regret choosing the HTC One X over the SGSIII, especially since we STILL don't have kernel source.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] umer936:
I can't stand it, that's why I have to pull it out of my pocket and check the temp. (range from 98-103) and then I put it on airplane mode and it cools down...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jcache:
You should check out cpu usage on System Tuner App or similar, looking on apps that drain more cpu. Moreover u can at least decrease the maximum cpu-freq. I know it's not the ultimate solution though.

I'm now using custom kernel 3.4 from eternity project, I had such problem cause of bad 3G or wi-fi management, now almost solved. Stock kernel is definetely not well optimized.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] corrifa:
Mine only gets hot while doing some heavy gaming (Shadowgun & GTA), and yeah it gets really hot around the camera, but mine doesnt seem to have a problem with over heating when it's idle or in sleep mode.

I run Clean Rom SE 4.1 and CM9 alpha4 if that helps

And personally I came from the ATT Gs2 (Exynos) and I get much better battery life on my HOX
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] umer936:
I'm using 100% stock. No root, so I can't control CPU usage.

This is a picture of my battery usage when I went to sleep. (the last screen awake is when I went to sleep...) It was dead when I woke up...

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neocryte:
I am very curious to try a completely Sense-free ROM like AOKP or CM10, once the major kinks are worked out (which should be soon given that the kernel source is finally out).

However, hearing that GS3 has the same issue doesn't give me much hope.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dtp7:
Running CM10 right now, although I won't be able to test today (driving home, don't have the drop in service that I get when I take the train).

I'll try to see if it happens tomorrow...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ComposMentis:
I experienced this last week. I went on vacation to two different cities, each with LTE. The first was Huntington Beach where my battery life dropped to about half of what I get without LTE and my phone ran hot the entire time if I used the data connection. Then we went to Disneyland where I was also on LTE the entire time. Battery life was still worse than non-LTE, but the phone didn't run nearly as hot and the battery drain wasn't as severe. Huntington Beach is on the edge of the LTE service area so my guess is the poor signal causes the LTE chip to work overtime trying to gain/keep a signal.

Disable HTC Smart Sync

Download SmartSync Disabler. This has solved a lot of my battery and heat issues. So factory reset, then download SmartSync Disabler and enable it. Then Reboot, and you should be good to go! :) Idk if this will work for everyone but definitely solved a lot of my woes.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Damn_Smooth:
I had a somewhat similar issue. My phone wouldn't heat up on it's own, but browsing would get pretty hot. Almost painfully so. I am running CR 4.2 and I have the Blackout Beastmode kernal installed. Since I set setCPU to 192 MHz min. And 1512 MHz max. along with the power saving governor, my phone still gets mildly warm, but nothing anywhere close to what it was.

If you guys are on a 4.0.3 rom, I would highly suggest trying it out. Hopefully it can help someone else.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Spooky_7:
I had this issue several times while I was asleep. It was bad enough amazon wireless replaced my phone. I haven't had the problem since, but I'm not sure if that is because of the new hardware or from switching to CM9.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dalvarez0312:
I'm running cm10 now and its making my phone get warm under light usage like checking Facebook. I'm 100% sure its the rom though because when I was running aokp 6.2 it rarely if ever got warm, and I could be multitasking a number of apps. Aokp used to suffer from the same issue but rohan fixed it with 6.2. I would say to give aokp 6.2 a try, and if it still gets really warm easily exchange it asap.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] BTow1105:
My phone only gets hot when I'm on the border of receiving LTE service. It will fluctuate between 1 bar of LTE, a couple bars or 4G, and then it will display No Service and get really hot.

Hot under light use

My phone is getting a little hot under light use and battery is draining from very light use like 30 of video 1 hour of internet and just some music and im down to 50 40 percent in 6 or 7 hours is that normal for this phone or is something going on
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dtp7:
To the last few people who replied to this post: what you are describing is NOT the problem this thread is referencing. This thread is about a very specific issue - getting hot WITHOUT use (e.g. sitting in your pocket untouched) when LTE service is regained immediately after a complete loss of service. Almost this entire last page is unrelated to the real problem. If your phone is getting hot while you're browsing the internet or watching video or have the screen turned on at all, but cools down when you turn off the screen and let it sit for a few minutes, YOU ARE IN THE WRONG THREAD.

Back to this... Only one data point, but I did not see the battery dive yesterday! Battery overall on CM10 is not the best for me (I have a ton of wakelocks, a mix of issues that the dev is working on within the rom and problems with some apps I'm using I think), but it was a constant rate of drain before and after my train ride.

I'd definitely recommend someone else who has had the problem demonstrated in this thread give one of the AOSP roms a shot and post back with your results, but it seems like they at least have a chance of being our saving grace!

edit: here's a thread on the cm10 thread where I posted some battery screenshots...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29620475#post29620475
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EliWay:
Great news. A fully working and stable CM10 could indeed be our saving grace. I'm also curious to try the rogers update that was just released... It's the same one a user told us would solve the issue a few days back, though I have a feeling this update does not do anything for us...

Another workaround is to use CleanRom 4.5 the Asian Rom 2.23 and force the radio to HSPA+ only... Unlike 4.0.3 based roms, it works fine with no frequent data drops(though I have seen it happen, but in areas where I would at least expect it to). Edit:CleanRom 4.5 does not seem to have that option :/
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dtp7:
I think CR4.5 does have that option, but you have to flash the generic 4g icons? Or maybe it comes default with those and you have to flash the AT&T icons? but either way I think it's tied to one set of the 4g icons...

edit: also try the *#*#4636#*#* toggle, maybe it will work there if not in settings (or try any of the 4g toggle apps in the play store, they do the same thing as going to that menu)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Spooky_7:
H8rift's latest CM9 build is basically completely functional if you are looking for an AOSP solution to the overheating problem. It doesn't have the battery-life or camera issues of the CM10 alpha.
