Wow...... Touchy much?

I was simply asking how battery life is.

And yeah I know that it has only been a few days, as you just said there though, enough time to notice a difference anyway.

Yeah most of us here work as well, we aren't asking for updates every day and besides it only takes a few minutes to take and post a few screen shots and some info.

Who said you have to post an update constantly?

Don't worry, I won't bother asking for an update etc. again. Thanks for testing this out though.
[HTC One S] hosecastro:
Not touchy no. Just found it rude. You didn't simply just ask for update ur asking for days of screenshots. Which I don't mind doing but been pretty busy last few days out of town and work. If you look a few posts back someone comments "take your time" ... Completely different then what u had asked.
[HTC One S] hosecastro:
Here are my results for today. GPS Wifi and bluetooth on all day. Few short phone calls. Couple of texts and facebook messages. Checked Instagram a few times.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Sorry if it came across as being rude, but I had no intentions of being rude or expecting an answer straight away.

Hmm, got tbh the battery life is pretty damn poor.

Only 34 minutes on screen time and 11 hours up time? What was your brightness set to?

How long were the phone calls?

Do you keep switching wifi on and off every 15 minutes? Or do you have it set to turn of automatically/sleep every 10 or 15 minutes when not in use? If yes, you are better of keeping it on constantly rather than doing that as it makes the battery much worse, make sure wifi max performance is of too.

Also your phone seems to keep waking up when the screen is off, how often do you have weather, facebook etc. syncing?

Again, no rush for answers to all the above.
[HTC One S] hosecastro:
Battery life with old battery would give me about 10 hours so it has improved.

Most likely the reason the phone keeps awake would be because I have live sync with Facebook turned on which I use a lot. HTC weather syncs every hour . Other than that I have gmail sync to ruined on.

Brightness is set to auto.

Ya I had wifi to automatically sleep so I'll try ur suggestion and leave it on. Wifi max is enabled.

My phone calls were bout 10 mins each.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Have a read through my post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27220678#post27220678

I found wifi max performance to completely drain the battery and the increase in performance wasn't worth it, hardly noticeable in browsing, only when streaming 720/1080P content via BS player etc.

Also make sure you turn of the open wifi networks notifications.

Personally I would increase the weather sync to 2 or 3 hours and if possible try to increase the facebook sync time (this really hammers battery).

Do you mean the gmail labels sync? Gmail "pushes" emails to your phone, it doesn't sync new emails.

If you follow the above post and info. you should see a nice improvement. You should be getting much much better up time and on screen time than that, especially with a bigger battery.
[HTC One S] abitzsong:
Sounds great!

The only disadvantage of our beloved One S for me is that it's battery is only 1650mAh.

If the 2100mAh battery of One X+ comes out, I'll try replacing it.

I can use it for at least two days with full-time data connection, follow all facebook posts and plant funghi constantly.

What will happen if I replace the battery with the 2100mah one?:good:
[HTC One S] hosecastro:
Here we go . Great improvement now.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Nice, much better :)

Although, I still think you should be getting much better than that..... I don't make phone calls as long as that, so not sure if that is maybe why the battery doesn't last as long as mine?

What tweaks/improvements did you do, I see you kept wifi on all the time.

Is anyone else going to do this?
[HTC One S] abitzsong:
I got a battery of one x+ (S728e), which is 2100mAh, and put it into my one S yesterday. It fits perfectly.

So far so good, I'll report the improvement about battery life in a few days.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Great! Look forward to it very much :)

I will most likely be ordering one very soon too.
[HTC One S] thanito:
Look forward to hearing your bat stats..this might be a significant upgrade:good:
[HTC One S] eXtatic@XDA:
Did some testing with my new 2100 mAh battery during this week. Even though my feeling is that it lasts a bit longer, my test showed the same battery performance...

Maybe I will do some more tests during my holidays in October.

[HTC One S] stunner2002:
Some say it has no effect but try to delete your battery stats with one of the battery calibration apps from play Store. For me it took at least two weeks until it was fully calibrated by System and the full physical capacity was reached. Give it a few days and you will See ;)

I'm considering to get a 2100mah and worry about the gap as well. Can someone kinda upload a clear picture or video?
[HTC One S] eXtatic@XDA:
I'll try to make some pics in the afternoon.

EDIT:

Here are the pics of my phone after replacing the stock battery by the 2100mAh ONE X+ battery.

There is definetly a gap which has not been there before but I don't mind. It doesn't affect the handling of the phone.

If you push the display a bit, it is possible to close the gap.
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
Why your phone is back in colour but your camera turn out to be blue?

After did some research, replacing with 2100mah isn't necessary because the file in /sys/class/power_supply/battery/full_bat is 1650 and you can't change it to 2100 and the voltage on 1650 and 2100 battery is slightly different. Ended up, your phone will stop charge at around 80% and so, some said will stuck at weird 99% and never go up again.

But why some guys claimed they got a bit better battery performance? This is the story. Because with a 1650mah battery, the first 10%(90 - 100) usually will drop very very quick but now you are on a fully usable 100% with a 2100mah battery(your battery actually only got 80% at 1650mah), your first 10% will not drop super fast again.

Hence, by using a 2100mah you actually only will get a sadly 10% more battery life but always charge the battery to only 80% is also a good health for li-ion battery as well.
[HTC One S] eXtatic@XDA:
Hi, I replaced the original silver housing by a black one but didn't change the camera colour. Black and blue fits better to my CM theme.

I think your somehow right regarding the battery full status.

One thing I observed is that the LED turns from orange to green at about 80%, which is normally indicating that the battery is fully charged.

Nevertheless the battery charges to 100% if it stays connected. And yes, 99% to 100% takes a lot of time. I think even longer when charging via USB.

Please keep in mind that those are my observations and may be affected by perception.

Some posts before I posted some pics of my tests with the new battery. What was definitely the case us that the battery discharged in a linear manor. No fast drop of the first 10% though.
[HTC One S] stunner2002:
With the new Rom (MaximusHD) my battery life is very bad. Anyone have an idea how to calibrate the battery? Maybe charging the phone to 100% then disconnect the battery for an hour and recharge until full?

Duration original battery

Hi,

someone know hwat is the average duration for the original battery ?!
[HTC One S] Darezi:
HTC ONE S, ONE X and ONE X+ physically have the same battery but they are all different mAh. You will not damage your case if you open it slowly. The battery isn't that thicker so that the case wouldn't close properly. I opened mine and put in ONE X+ battery and closed it nicely without gaps. To get full capacity of ONE X+ battery in your S you have to root it and do the battery calibration. The phone cant calibrate it self, cause the in the file is written 1650 mAh. It needs to be overwritten.

Could you show some screen shots if possible.

I am insterested in screen on time after a day on mobile data only(no wifi)

In my experience in this scenario the projected SOT on battery depletion is usually about 3.5 hours.

If it can utilise the full 2100 capacity then the SOT should increasr to around 4.4 hrs.

Thanks!

Results

Relatively easy mod for your battery. Greenify used to hibernate background apps. Replaced 1.5yr old battery which had difficulty holding charges.

Experiencing 8-10hrs battery life compared to 6-7hrs battery life on the OEM battery. Using the original OEM One X+ battery would most likely have a larger impact on battery life.

Purchased from eBay and took about 15 mins to swap out. eBay is branded as original htc bm35100 (have my doubts but leaning towards non-OEM China company branded as Genuine Original). But hey, it works and performing better than my old one. No overheating issues and holds charges fine.

***IMPORTANT*** Use BatteryCalibration 2-3 TIMES. Full non-break charge, complete discharge (attempt to continue powering on after shutdown), repeat

[HTC One S] yuan_1202:
Bought an one x (1800mah) battery to replace my nearly two year old battery and the result is disappointment and regret.

No battery improvement all. I was hoping at least some improvement considering the aging of my old battery, but no nothing. Actually it feels even a little bit worse. And and battery level is broken. It no longer drops continuously, i.e. from 50 right to 47 instead of 49, 48...

And there is a gap now.

So here is what i think:

Most of these so called "new" battery are taken from used phone because of various reasons. So they are not new at all. Also after stripped from faulty phones, these batteries are left in the warehouse for a long time staying inactive, i suspect this is bad for them.

So my conclusion is not worth spending the money at all.

Regret regret regret.

One XC 2000 mAh fitted.

Hi,

I just swapped out the original battery for a 2000mAh XC Internal Battery BJ75100. Fitting no problem, but there is a slight gap which is not noticeable. Using Android Tuner the battery is reported as 1650mAh - so I'm not sure if I've been ripped off yet. I'll have to wait a few days for testing, let the battery cycle a few times. I plan just to use the phone normally and try to discern if the battery life is better. It would be good to know for sure whether it's a 1650 or 2000 mAh battery I have!

Hmmm... I should try this with my kernel... not sure if it would make a difference as I already noticed a battery gain when I replaced my battery for 2000
[HTC One S] mariachi62:
I still did not receive my new battery, however, as far as I understand this there would be at least the one difference, that those battery apps show the correct value. The question is if it is also related to the point where the device stops charging the battery. I am also not sure how the "point" where it stops charging is determined.

I will try this as soon as my battery arrives.
[HTC One S] AKToronto:
I tried changing the value and got an error... It may be a tad harder than just typing in 2000 instead... I can also check the kernel source to see if a mod can be made there.

Yes, do that. Btw: awesome kernel, using it myself since a few weeks ;)! If I can help you in any way, let me know. Would be great I we could manage to get everything out of our new battery!

[HTC One S] thanito:
Were both batteries new?

Because afaik when new battery voltage should be near 4,2V (4,187..4,192..4,200). So maybe it was a used battery and thus have a shorter lifespan? Or even defective(sort of speech, not full capacity)

[HTC One S] mariachi62:
Hm... I wouldnt buy this one. I mean, 4 pounds?

On the one hand they claim that you have 1 year guarantee... on the other hand they are not even able to write mAh correctly...

I bought a 20€ 2100 mAh battery from a German seller... this seems a fair price to me so I am expecting to get what I paid for. However, still waiting.

For those of you who are able to read german: There is a thread about the same topic here.

They basically say that it is not necessary to change anything in kernel or rom (well actually this would be kernel related anyway, wouldnt it?). The phone calibrates the battery itself. When I got that right then battery infos like in full_bat (or was it bat_full) file are estimated by android from what it gets from the battery (my interpretation). So they say that after a few charging cycles (like 10 or so) everything is calibrated (they never mention if apps show correct values).

What I "read between the lines" is that infos like in the full_bat file should say 2100 then and probably battery apps should also say 2100 then. Can anyone who has a One X+ battery confirm this?

Btw. battery calibration apps are meaningless since they just delete a file called Batterystats.bin (or similar, cant remember). However, this file is overwritten by android from time to time anyways...

Some of the people in the other forum use the app Nova Battery Tester. Anyone of you tried it? What does it say (concerning your battery)? Btw. I had to download it from the devs homepage.

Any opinions/experiences on this?

Sorry for my confusing way of writing here, already had a beer or two :D! Cheers

Can you bring up a browser and browse through several (primarily white colored) pages? Time when the percentage changes from one number to another. Let us know.

[HTC One S] Alan Slade:
I have a 2100mah of One X+battery (the 1800 is of the X) and it was the first charge, so it's not calibrated yet.

I wrote about 500 whatsapp messages, updated 6 apps, internet, and used wifi for 8h and the rest with data on.
