[HTC One X] lamenramen:
2 hours of screen time on max brightness is about right. I would never get 4 hours unless the screen was at 0% brightness, but there's 0 point in buying the One X if you can't see the screen.

The only test I use is surfing the internet at full brightness...both on a strong wifi signal and over 3G with about a 4/5 bars signal strength on average.

Over wifi: lose 1% per 1.5 minutes

Over 3G:lose 1% per minute.

iPhone 4 doubles that runtime. Fair comparison or not, this is basically what the world is going to use to compare the One X to.

The One X has extremely great sleep time. It hibernates like a bear. Use the phone, however, and you are DEAD. Turning down the brightness helps, but not nearly as much as I'd thought. Something strikes me that the SOC that they are using is plain old battery inefficient. It would take a kernel miracle to fix this, but I am not nearly technical enough to defend that statement. I'm only going on my experience with the different kernels. I've not noticed any meaningful difference in battery life. All my eggs are in the dual core S4 SOC basket. THAT is the phone that the One X should have been. To add insult to injury, I tried the S4's audio out with a pair of really nice headphones, and there is no question that the sound quality is better than whatever sound chip that the Tegra 3 is using. No question. I believe that the S4 SOC is clearly the superior chipset. To add insult to injury, the S4 version also was also clearly faster in perceptible speed.

My advice to the OP is that if you are care about battery life, there is no way that the Tegra 3 is ever going to catch up with the S4.

My screen is always on 25% brightness and I can't even get over 2 hours. I don't game either. I listen to music for two hours a day then its just whatsapp here and there
[HTC One X] salemfals:
I have only 2 hours or less of screen time before my batt dies, and i don't even use it heavily. Just some whatsapp, facebook, and music. I don't even have 3G turned on most of the day because i am at work.

I've had my phone for about a month now, so will it still work if i try the above method? I love everything about the HOX, but this batt issue is really turning out to be worse than i expected.

Running LeeDrOiD One Xtreme V6.4.0 with Faux kernel 004 beta 1 (undervoltage -100 mV).

Some small use. :)

And today, after a night sleep, again some small use this morning, no charge.
[HTC One X] shadehh:
Wow I don't understand why some of you guys have battery life that are that horrible. I on stock I would see myself reaching 3 hours 30 minutes up to 4 hours screen time, but even if my brightness s set to 20-25%
[HTC One X] RBFesquire:
So is it best to use dark themes on the HOX. I thought they were just for amoled?

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
You are correct. Backlit screens like ours will not have battery life dependant on screen colour.

Any benefit you witness with dark themes are pure placebo.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
LeeDrOiD One Xtreme V6.4.0 with Faux kernel 004 beta 1 (undervoltage -100 mV).

Still didn't charge after my last post (#28).

A day at work almost finished, regular use this time as you can see in the battery status.

Some phone calls, wifi on, browsed the internet, used gtalk etc...

Had to travel a bid during my work and to my work offcourse so it switched to 3g for about +/- 2.5 hours as well.

Screen is set to automatic brightness, one hour screen on atm.
[HTC One X] death__machine:
Laurentius26 has undervolting increased battery life significantly?
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Yes for sure, from yesterday afternoon till now today my battery would be almost dry.

Atm I still have 60% accu after 20 hours and 38 minutes using my phone.

Next I go do some heavy use for about 3 hours, going to the gym LoL :D

Normally I charge it before I go to the gym because I use 2 bluetooth devices (stereo headset plus a heartrate monitor),

I listen to music continue and I use Runtastic for my workout continue (uploading to there server and Facebook as well).

More screen on time, so I need battery now.

Curious if I still have battery after this one. :cyclops:
[HTC One X] JDAapps:
Well I don't have any facts or figures, but I just wanted to mention that I have seen drastic battery improvement and even more drastic temp reduction with my HOX after switching to eXoDiZeD Revolution ROM and using No-Frills CPU utility. I don't know for certain if one or the other is the major factor, or the combo of both. My HOX used to got ultra hot after using for maybe 10-15 minutes solid. Now I use it for hours with no noticeable heat! I'm set at max 1.5GHz and min 102MHz and ondemand in No-Frills. Screen on auto-brightness. Used to get battery warning daily at early-late evening, now I still have 20-40% left by end of day.
[HTC One X] Nit3m4re:
Stock everything, no tweats no gimmicks, just enable data when I need it and use the phone as per usual on a normal day.

Screen on time and brightness ?
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
LeeDrOiD One Xtreme V6.4.0 with Faux kernel 004 beta 1 (undervoltage -100 mV).

Finished sport, 2 hours on bluetooth, 2 devices connected, continue music (check post # 34 and # 28).

24 hours without charging, average to heavy use.

All syncing (dropbox, gmail, gps etc), no things disabled to improve battery live.

Locale app checking my location continue and applying profiles I've set on where I'm.

On screen time 2 hours. automatic brightness.

Charging again. :)
[HTC One X] Nit3m4re:
I've charged it up since taking that screenshot so I can't look at the on screen time, but I know I used it a lot. Brightness is always kept smack bang in the middle. I never really change it apart from in bed in which case its lower.
[HTC One X] xdn:
I'm a bit worried about the battery life of my HOX, it seems much worse than other HOX's I've had in the past (which I had to return for other reasons) and I don't know if I should try to get a replacement.

For example, I've used it for web browsing today in a 20 minute tube trip and during that time I've seen it lose 15-20% battery. And in a regular day with light usage (1 hour screen on time or less, 30 minutes of phone calls, etc.) I have about 20% left at the end of the day. With other HOX's and a similar type of usage I was at about 50% at the end of the day.

Phone is on auto brightness and I'm posting Chrome's stats too as I don't know if they might have anything to do with this.
[HTC One X] blwbrown1:
This is my second One X. I exchanged the first one because I felt it was defected both in battery life and just overall software glitches. As far as battery life is concerned, on the 1st one x I had, i was lucky to get 6-8hr of battery life and 2 hrs of on-screen time. 2nd One X, I can go pretty much the entire day.

Fyi, Screen Brightness is around 30-40%

[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
To people who are looking with huge eyes to 'screen on' time, it's saying nothing.

Boring to keep my phone on lowest brightness, I could get 12 hours screen on time if I want but I need my phone. ;)

Hope you don't mind but I just want to make something clear.

Actualy if you like to compare battery live I think this would be the right way to do it.

Fully charge, disable everything, put your screen on lowest brightness and keep it on as long as possible.
[HTC One X] techmatlock:
AOSP. Sense just adds a framework layer of eye candy = resources using up battery. Pure android is always the best in terms of battery life.
[HTC One X] JDAapps:
Well like I mentioned a few posts back, I'm getting exceptional battery life with my current configuration. Yesterday I was using it a lot, so I decided to go for the gusto and use it as much as possible and let it go as far as it could.

As far as I am concerned, this is more than acceptable life for a quad-core and huge screen, so personally I couldn't be happier (14+ hrs, 8hrs screen on!).

Just thought I'd share my results now that I actually had some "facts n figures".
[HTC One X] rayz0r:
^ 8 hours? WTF? Did you even use it at all?
[HTC One X] JDAapps:
Yep, if you read my posts they explain the conditions. No I was not playing Shadowgun for 8hrs straight of course, but yes I was doing normal usage the entire time... i.e. browsing Chrome, XDA app :good:, calls, messages, email, check weather/radar, all the other things that non-gamers do with their phone :D.
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
How much of that 8 he screen time would you say you were actually interacting with the phone. Can you post grabs of the battery stats for all the items shown in the usage breakdown

Display alone at low brightness uses next to no power. Eg I've achieved 17 hours screen at lowest brightness but only by not touching it.

IMO its the CPU and active radio that are the biggest cause of drain.
[HTC One X] barondebxl:
LMAO hahahahhahha
[HTC One X] barondebxl:
this is excellent.
[HTC One X] JDAapps:
The screen was off anytime I wasn't using it. I wasn't trying to break any records or anything, was just curious what the actual stats would be, as it was obvious I was getting much better life now. Sorry, I dont have the stats anymore, that was from yesterday's usage, and as you can see I was at 2% so I charged it right after taking the shots.
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
Your results are way above the average so its useful to get details of your usage.

My question was trying to get at how much of that 8hrs was the CPU or radios being used. Just reading the screen won't use them but scrolling, opening apps, web pages or physically interacting will.

Next time can you please post the details of the full list of usage elements so we get the full picture as it'll be useful for all to see how we may be able to improve our stats.
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
@op I think it should be a requirement to show all the stats so we can see the full breakdown.
[HTC One X] JDAapps:
Absolutely, understood. I agree that I am getting far better life now than ever before. As mentioned, I dont typically game or anything too intensive, just mostly what I posted for usage. But this did include constant interaction, I was always scrolling and tapping of course, never just stareing at it ;). Next time I have time to do a similar full day test, I'll be sure to gather full results in hopes that it helps someone.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
I've set my screen on lowest brightness possible and time out to max 10 minutes.

Let see what happens if I fiddle around a day till battery runs dry.

Keep you posted. ;)
[HTC One X] JDAapps:
I think this is a natural assumption. The screen of course uses a lot, but blasting the CPU would certainly use more. Also, I've been using WiFi for all testing, and as you mention there would likely be worse results if on 3G all day instead of WiFi.

Anyhow, I can't do any more testing today, but attached are my results so far. Not quite as good as yesterday's (inline with yesterday would be 2.7 hrs, not 2 hrs), but still pretty good none-the-less in my opinion. I captured all items that had CPU usage stats, others simply correlate to the shown % so are useless info. (I merged pics together to meet the 4 attachment limit.)

Hope this helps!

Guys im in second week with this gorgeous phone....shifted recently from an apple iphone 4....had some concerns in the begining but after a few charges getting better every day....here are yesterday's stats....

The brightness here is almost zero but when im outside i do ocassionally switch up the brightness....wt do u guys think?

Usage is mostly texts, calls, music during workout using a bluetooth headset for an hour....plus some temple run and xda

P.S....i think today im getting an improved time as well but on 60 prcnt right now while posting this....will update new pics when the phone drops to around 20 percent
[HTC One X] JDAapps:
Please read my other posts for this info... they have times, configurations, etc., etc. for a full day.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Here are my first results this evening with 3g (4 hour, 42 minutes) and wifi (42 minutes) enabled, browsed some XDA, watched some Youtube, received some email etc...

3 hours screen on, 5 and a halve hours use, 63% still to go.

Detailed battery statistics attached.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Battery fairy tails

Here are the final results again as my battery is empty now, I need to charge.

14 hours of use, 9 hours on screen.

6 hours on 3G, 1 hour and 15 minutes wifi.

Looks cool isn't? :cool:

Details you can find in BetterBatteryStats.txt attached.

I did use the phone most of the time, it was not laying on the table, but on normal/regular use of the phone, 8 hours 'on screen' is something I don't take.

You can get these results as well if you dimm the screen to lowest brightness (screen time out 10 minutes) and don't touch the phone to much. :p:laugh:

Tip, keep the screen on for a couple of hours during the evening/night to have more 'on screen' time (if you don't manage during the day),

this will impress people even more. :cyclops:

See my previous post how I started.
[HTC One X] death__machine:
It does look cool haha. But I would rather have real screen on time xD. I'm going to try undervolting soon to get more battery life. The gain in battery life after undervolting was significant you said, and anyways I'm not going to be gaming on this to require tegra to run at full power.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
Yep, it significant improves battery live.

Another tip.

During normal/regular use of the phone I use the CPU ondemand governor and undervoltage 100mV so I have good battery live.

But sometimes I like to game as well, then I undo the undervoltage and follow the tips by Hamdir HERE to change to interactive governor during a game.

This is only possible with a rooted phone and a custom kernel that supports these features.

Like this I have a bid of both worlds. :)

I'm still a noob on Android, all the work is done by other people who are creating the roms/apps and kernels so all credits to

them of course but it's great stuff to play with and I'm learning to get the best out of my machine. :)

You know I'm using LeeDrOiD One Xtreme V6.4.0 and today I've updated to Faux kernel 004 beta 5 (previous kernel Faux 004 beta 1).

Offtopic:

Time for some gaming. :laugh::cool:
[HTC One X] Amiil29:
It's depends if you use a lot of 7/8 hours. But if you use it normally 20 hours. I think if we disconnect the Internet working will continue more.

Sorry I'm not an English.

Yes switching off Mobile data(2G/3G) and wifi can drastically improve how long your HOX lasts, but then theres nothing I can do on the device without them :P.

Others can however play games.

Android OS as high as 60%

Guys, was wondering if anyone can help me out. My battery was doing fine all this while(bought in May). As of yesterday it just started draining like crazy. Checked the settings and Android OS was at 60%. Dont know how this happened. The only change that I made was made a few changes to the Screen off app. I have now removed this app but still at 50%. Killed all processes and it goes down to 48%.

Fully charged battery drained to 40% in 6 hrs with just on standby. No usagae at all(kept overnight)

Not rooted at all. I'm on 1.29.401.11. Appreciate if anyone can help me out or point me in the right direction.

Thanks peeps
[HTC One X] demajoor:
my stats after a week on viper rom
[HTC One X] death__machine:
@skyn8t

Those stats are horrible. There is something definitely wrong with your settings or battery. Try a factory reset maybe? It ought to reset any weird settings and return everything to default. Just backup your contacts and other stuff.

@Demajoor, I'm curious how long wifi was running.

Do you have some more detailed battery statistics please?
[HTC One X] deeaa:
Um, I've had the HOX for, let's see...four days. It's been basically on the charger most of the time as the battery drain is indeed quite something. I've not used it constantly at all either, but it's been on the charger a lot indeed.

BUT there's also been two system updates and I've installed loads of stuff & been using it all the time, Mass Effect Infiltrator, Max Payne, lots of apps I've tried out. And I'm constantly looking for ways to keep the phone at minimum power usage. BT, Wifi, stuff like that always off. It seems to have a lot of programs always open in the process manager view, though.

Still, for instance when I'm using GPS navigation and the network switches between 2G and 3G constantly and loads new map tiles + keeps the screen fully lit all the time, even constant charging isn't enough - the phone actually gives a warning that I'm using more power than the charger can provide, so I need to shut down processes or screens or I'll soon run out of juice. That's kind of a nuisance...it's hard to use it as a navigator if I have to keep shutting down the display all the time so it won't run out of juice - despite it's charged all the time!

Anyway, so...during these 4 days I haven't managed to get long into the afternoon before it's completely dead already, despite I put in in the charger every chance I get. Then I just have to leave it in the charger for a few hours so I can use it again. I put it in airplane mode and all, or even shutdown completely, but it takes many hours to fully recharge even then.

It's pretty much the same but even worse than my old HD2 which has like a 3-year old battery...with similar use it is also as juice hungry & lasts the same time. The only difference is, the HD2 can be used heavily while it can still charge the batt, but the HOX can't even charge itself as fast as it uses the batt when used heavily :-(

Also, how the hell do I get the screen to stay alive while charging, other than setting screen timeout to never? The switch 'keep sceen on while charging' seems to do nothing...whether I have it on or off, GoogleMaps and such will anyway turn the screen off even when charging.

[HTC One X] PMaksymiuk:
I've had mine for a week, and the battery life is even worse that my old Desire HD, and people were complaining there. Worst of all is the heat that it dissipates, which means a lot of the electricity is getting wasted.

However, i do attribute this to me using AOKP+Franco from the get go, and immature software in general. This is a really young device, it will get okayish in time.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] robstunner:
Just wondering why there's so many wake-ups thanks to maps. Im not logged into latitude and had the weather app ONLY update every 12 hours. Yesterday while at work i nailed 500+ wakeups from maps and a bunch from clock as well.

Only thing ive done to my phone this far is root it with the newest method. I wonder if that root method has anything to do with it. Any way to get the 100% original shipped ODIN back on there?

TIA
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fgocards:
Hi everyone.

As you can see, very new to these forums but looks to be a friendly community and I look forward to settling in. :)

Any who, onto why I made this thread. I received my Galaxy S3 last Friday from AT&T, I paid $573 for no commitment because I'm canceling service with them and using Straight Talk. It started off all good, booted up the phone and had no problems with set up.

However, this soon changed after I got over the initial joy of having a new phone and started to look at it more closely. The home screens stutter when sliding them across, and the app drawer is really not a whole lot better. I'm not talking like freezing lag, but definitely not something you'd want to see on a sub $600 phone...

I ran a few benchmarks and my fears were confirmed.

Antutu: Highest - 5543 on a fresh wipe, 4900 on average. My girlfriend gets 6300 on her SGS2 :( Looks like the SGS3 should be around 8-10k.

Quadrant Standard - 3273 on mine with a fresh wipe, girlfriend getting 3900 on her S2. Looks like it should be getting about 5000 on average.

So obviously something is wrong with my phone, as even temple run stutters every now and then. I blame bloatware, and AT&T, may not be AT&Ts fault but I hate them. If it matters my CPU seems to be the only thing that isn't scoring as it should, usually it says it is clocked around .9-1.1GHZ, no where near the 1.5 it should. I've tried factory resetting, wiping the cache, soft resetting, and trying to use no sim card at all to see if it made a difference.

Anyway, I'm sorry if you're still reading this, but I'm frustrated, so I'll just ask my questions..

Should I return it, or is there someway I can fix this besides what I've tried?

Is the international version better suited for me because I won't even be using LTE on Straight Talk?

Would the international version have firmware updates a lot quicker than the AT&T version?

Thanks everyone!

TL;DR - I think my AT&T SGS3 is a lemon, and wont be using LTE anyway, should I return it and buy a international version for the updates and quad core?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] americasteam:
Sounds like your device has some issues. You should be having a very smooth experience. I would return it for another LTE version, and wouldn't worry about the International version. The S4 dual core is a beast. The extra gb of ram makes the choice for me a no brainer. To each his own though. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] krispy1:
that sounds off- the phone performs good will mostly get over 5000 each time on quadrant- did u check to see if your phone setting may have the power performance cap on? this caps cpu at 1ghz to help conserve battery. if not your phone may be defective.
