[HTC One X] jamesj999:
Hi guys, I'm on Three in the UK and have their branded version of the One X (CID: H3G__001 if I recall correctly).

I was wondering what experience you guys have had with the battery life on custom ROMs vs the stock ROM?

I flashed a custom Sense ROM onto the device pretty much as soon as I got it and was only ever able to get about 2hrs screen on time (even with super low brightness, no syncing etc). I then moved onto AOSP when it came out and used various ROMs - CM9/CM10/SlimJB etc. On these I was struggling to even get 2 hours screen on time, even with custom kernels that managed a deep sleep of >80%.

I thought this was just the device and lived with it for a few months.

I have no idea why, but I decided to return to the Stock Three ROM using an RUU. The battery life is MUCH better than anything I have ever experienced on a custom ROM and the deep sleep percentage is even higher than Ncx/faux kernels.

Screen on: 3hrs approx (Default stock autobrightness)

Time unplugged: 17 hours approx

Deep sleep: 80-90%

What I'm wondering is if any users here have had a similar experience using the One X on Three UK?

I suspect it could be something to do with the network drivers used on custom ROMs, since Mobile Standby always seemed to use more battery than it does now. Yes, I had made sure I had the correct RIL, but I'm talking here about the baseband itself.

Cheers,

James

Hey man I have a 3 branded handset. Was running stock for all of 12 hrs tops. But I have previously ran stock with my old hox's and battery for me was shocking.

I'm now running renovate with ncx kernel -125mh which is running like a dream get 4 hrs screen time and I have had a record of 15hrs standby. I do use my phone a lot tho during the day, some helpful advice is if you use wifi switch your data off and also don't have auto brightness on.

There are some useful tips all over the hox forums for battery life but this is just my point for you

[HTC One X] jamesj999:
Hey man, thanks for the reply - this is why I was confused! CPU clock seems to be higher on stock and obviously one would expect the battery life to be worse. But it's definitely FAR better than anything I've managed to achieve on any custom ROM (Sense or AOSP).

I know all the tricks such as turning off syncing, checking BBS, dimming auto brightness etc. and nothing seemed to help while running a custom ROM, the standby/usage drains were just terrible.

The only thing I could think has effected it this time is that I've fully restored using an RUU, which has in turn wiped the internal storage. Perhaps there was a dodgy file that was causing poor battery life...?

Other than that, the only thing I can imagine it being is the network driver.
[HTC One X] galaxys2Tav:
I don't entirely know about an sd file but it could have been and app running in the background. Tbh I never stayed on stock long enough on any of my hox's but Iust admit I do get very good life from renovate ics. As we can't boot a sense jb yet I can't comment on JB sense roms.

I must admit aswell I haven't tried aosp as I'm holding out hope on 3 with the update.

Try renovate rom out I was hesitant with it am very happy, before that I ran pkmn rom with is now discontinued but there is viper rom by the same Dev and that also gave me exerlent battery

Just got an email for a Q4 soak test. Thinking we may have an official JB release soon.
[Motorola Atrix HD] L7iharsha:
Yes I'm reverting back to Stock ICS
[Motorola Atrix HD] L7iharsha:
When. Can we expect exact date of update
[Motorola Atrix HD] davezaff:
Usually about two weeks for official release.

Soak should be out in the next couple days.
[Motorola Atrix HD] joejoejo:
Motorola told me that the estimate would be up to 5-7 days because of thanksgiving

How would this soak test version be different than the leaked version?

How would we update to the soak test version?

will there be a special update for people who install the soak test version to go to the official jb release?
[Motorola Atrix HD] SirHoover2010:
Well I found that leak a long time ago so I am expecting a lot smoother, faster, more stable rom. Remember you need to be signed up for the soak test to get it.

Also hopefully more like the Razr Rom lol. There ROM is much "slicker" than what our is.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Dark9781:
No. Unless there is a major problem with the ROM, it will be the official release.

We won't know that until it is released, but if the leak is any judge of what is coming I would guess 4.1.1.

A friend at moto saw a test version of 4.1.2 so that might be the final release
[Motorola Atrix HD] joejoejo:
Just Google mb886_4.1.1.json from there you will see Google code site click on it it seems like 4.1.1 and gives version number look in mb886_4.1.1.json. that site has more than just the atrix HD on there. The site does not provide any files you can use on the phone other than a text editor

Edited because forum moderator wanted me to remove the link.

Sorry but what is a soak test?

Anyway, so 4.1.1 would be out before xmas? w00t. I'm glad I'm getting the phone now.
[Motorola Atrix HD] L7iharsha:
Get it mostly we will be getting jb before christmad
[Motorola Atrix HD] Blue Bell:
It's already on the way! :)

What's a soak test though? Is it like a software beta test?

[Motorola Atrix HD] Blue Bell:
So you'll the first to post if it's gonna be 4.1 or 4.2? :)
[Motorola Atrix HD] MagicXB:
Hopefully soak testing will start very soon. :)
[Motorola Atrix HD] Blue Bell:
Will probably start after the Thanksgiving weekend?
[Motorola Atrix HD] MagicXB:
I'd love for it to start *during* the Thanksgiving weekend - one more thing to be thankful for. ;)
[Motorola Atrix HD] Blue Bell:
lol, you should relax. It will come when it comes. I'm more interested in knowing if it is 4.1 or 4.2 so would know which one to look forward to. :) Most likely it'll be the 4.1 I think since this must have been in the works for a while and 4.2 has come out only just now.

[Motorola Atrix HD] hwlester:
A soak test is not a beta test and is generally a test of the rollout process for finished software. It's intended to give Motorola and the carrier an idea of what issues to expect during the full OTA rollout. As someone else mentioned, the soak test rollout will be the same software rolled out to the masses within a few days to a week after the soak test starts (unless MAJOR issues are discovered).

In the previous soak tests, it generally has been although there's always a chance you'll lose root.

Just a reminder that participation in a soak test requires signing an NDA, and discussing it in a public forum could disqualify you from participation. Just saying... ;)
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
Using Project Voodoo's OTA Rootkeeper app to protect the latest updated su binary should work no problem for any OTA update.
[Motorola Atrix HD] hwlester:
As mattlgroff suggests, update the superuser and su binary and back them up prior to the upgrade. This worked for the 4G going from Froyo to Gingerbread, so hopefully it will also work from ICS to Jellybean. :)
[Motorola Atrix HD] nictabor:
I received notification of an OTA update... I initially had issues, so I flashed back to stock ICS, repeated process to update to leaked JB, and again check for and received update option. Followed same of retaining root when going from ICS to JB leak, and retained root in OTA JB. Was this the Soak Test, or just another update for the leaked JB update?
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
That wasnt the soak. That was a leak ota for a leak ota.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Dark9781:
Everyone that is on the leak got the notice. It is probably just an update to the leak. Someone had stated in another thread that the this happened to the Atrix 2. Thise on the ICS leak got an ota update notice a little before the soak test started and it turned out to be the same version from the soak. It is very likely that this ota is the version going to be used in the soak test.

[Motorola Atrix HD] nictabor:
Bummer... I was hoping that the Soak would be 4.1.2... Are there any other "test" programs to enroll in with Motorola?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Blue Bell:
Is the leak 4.1 or 4.1.1?

Anyway, changelog for 4.1.1 is only a fix for Nexus 7 and changelog for 4.1.2 is only another feature for Nexus 7 and one finger collapse/expand notifications gestures.

Are there anything else that I am missing which is a big deal?
[Motorola Atrix HD] nictabor:
Has anyone heard any updates about the Soak Test? I haven't gotten any more notifications since I did my survey and it indicated that I had passed/qualified/whatever.
[Motorola Atrix HD] hwlester:
Based on previous soak tests I've participated in, there was typically a week or two from getting the invitation until the soak test started. Adding in the Thanksgiving holiday, there's no telling. Based on the NDA, if the soak test HAS started, participants are not supposed to talk about it.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Shawn_87:
I passed and said I would be notified and haven't yet but I'm hoping soon. :)
[Motorola Atrix HD] Headshots4life:
The soak test should begin today according to an email I received just a little while ago. It said the update should be pushed to my phone sometime today. :)
[Motorola Atrix HD] popfan:
Awesome news. Now we just need to be careful about keeping root during the upgrade.
[Motorola Atrix HD] wildchild048:
Saok test is same as the leak 98.4.20
[Motorola Atrix HD] Blue Bell:
The original leak? 4.1.1?

And more importantly, are you able to retain root? :)
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
Yes its the same 98.4.20 that the people on 98.4.7 got.

You can retain root the same way.

Update su binary in the Superuser app's Info pane. [Should be well fully updated Superuser app 3.1.3 and su binary 3.1.1]

Install OTA Rootkeeper.

Protect root.

Temp Unroot.

Restore Root.

Temp Unroot.

Restore Root. (Yes I did those twice because I am paranoid ;) )

Install the Official OTA/soak over 77.12.22.

Hit Restore Root once booted and on Jellybean.

My device is still waiting for the push, but I am ready.

I'd like to do the ota update for jb but I've misplaced my stock backup. Can anyone post a stock system dump?
[Motorola Atrix HD] MagicXB:
The build number is the same, but the build date for the soak firmware may still be a little newer then what was leaked previously (although somewhat unlikely).
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
Not once have a seen a soak be different from the leak when its the same version #, but time will tell ;)
[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
Since not everyone is in the soak on this forum, and the file will eventually be flashable, how about we open an organized thread here to gather bugs we find, and folks who are in the soak can post it on the official closed soak forums?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Blue Bell:
Please also let us know once you succeed in restoring root to JB later today! Thanks.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
Post about bugs found in stock 98.4.20 here and I'll see if I can repeat them, then pass them along.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Headshots4life:
For those participating in the soak it will be pushed to our phones sometime tomorrow. If you are participating then check out the private forum for further info. :) Motorola should have sent you an email with the link.

---------- Post added at 11:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

Matt,

Another clarification, sorry! According to the steps you have posted above, you install the OTA/soak when you are ROOTED? I thought the whole point of installing OTA Rootkeeper is to install the OTA when you are "Temp UNrooted"?

Also, are these the exact two software I need to use: (I'm checking just to make sure I do nothing wrong)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper&hl=en

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper&hl=en

Thanks again.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
For sure you do NOT install the update while temp unrooted. This is the method I used, exactly as I wrote it. And do clarify, that is the OTA Rootkeeper. Both links.

Yes , you backup root , then temp un root and then do the ota .
[Motorola Atrix HD] Blue Bell:
Why is there such drastically contradicting views on the method? :fingers-crossed:

Matt,

In the Voodoo OTA app, after a "Restore Root", the only option that becomes available is "Temp Unroot". But you are saying once OTA is done, the option would automatically change to "Restore Root"?

Because in your steps, this is the exact order:

But after a restore root, there is only a temp unroot option in the app. Am I missing something?
[Motorola Atrix HD] AnkurBedi:
If you temp unroot and then OTA . Then since you are not rooted after the OTA . voodo will show "Restore Root" . If you restored root then after OTA , why would you expect "Restore Root" to be still shown ??

Why would Voodoo give the option of restoring something that is already successfully restored !!
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
After the OTA when following my EXACT instructions, OTA Rootkeeper will ask if you want to Restore Root when opened. To not Temp Unroot and then install, unless you don't mind never getting root back :P
[Motorola Atrix HD] Visa Declined:
I've used OTA Rootkeeper multiple times with success and have never once pushed the 'temp unroot' button.

[Motorola Atrix HD] RCon227:
I reccomend listening to Matt. I used his update su binaries, backup root, temp un-root, and re-root method when installing the leak and restored root successfully my first try.

My brother, on the other hand, thought he knew best and flashed the leak without re-rooting and when he tried to restore root got a "Sorry! Your device does not have root access." in the Root Checker App.

Trust me. Matt knows exactly what he's talking about.
[Motorola Atrix HD] souljaboy:
Okay, so can you please make a thread about:

1, Lapdock 500 doesnt work anymore at all (see here), Bionic lapdock has a huge letterbox.

2,The settings> display> ovescan option was removed too.

3, Theres no longer any sound output selection, in settings>sound, so you cannot change to phone speaker with hdmi connected.

For number 1, they may say, its no longer supported, but the other two are standard hdmi issues.

All of them worked fine on ics... why have two steps back with one step forward?

I attend a lot of concerts and whenever I record video the picture is quite decent but the sound quality is awful. It seems like the recorded sound level is too high (too much gain), so the sound is very much distorted.

It is not related with the rom, I'm using RSK team Special Edition ROM and I had the same issue on stock Froyo.

Is there any way to fix this or can someone recommend an app to get better sound in videos?

When I was using speed ROM I noticed the same thing with my battery. I don't remember how it was with stock so I can't comment there.

But I have attached a picture of my ROM battery life now that I've switched to the fusion ROM and so far it seems better.

The only thing I can see from the graph you've posted is that your screen was on slightly longer than mine, but that's no reason for such terrible battery.

Might be the ROM and I hate to suggest it, but you might be better of if you try another ROM.
