[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
I tethered without a tethering plan for years, first on my jailbroken iPhone and then on my HOX until I switched to the Mobile Share plans that include tethering. I never got caught, but I was also very careful not to abuse it by, for example, streaming video, moving large files, or doing things that a phone would never do untethered like updating my laptop's software.

I am convinced, from watching this issue over the years, that AT&T does two things: They mainly go after the data hogs, flagging people for tethering detection when they get close to or over their data caps; they also run spot checks on random accounts. Detecting tethering, should you get their attention, is dead simple, by the way. There are any number of ways to confirm it.

Once you're on their radar screen, the jig is up. Your only choices are to stop tethering or get a tethering plan.

Since people only post on negative battery experience while the happy ones are silent, I will break the silence.

I have and use the One X+ (international non-LTE, in central Europe) for one week. Today, I just used it to browse web for several hours (browser was consuming 55% at time of screenshot) and read some pdf (pdf viewer was consuming 17%; I flipped about 200 pages in fast way as it was mildly boring ebook with big fonts so no zooming). There were about 10 minutes of web or youtube video too.

The screenshot shows battery graph at 38% of battery left, after 8 hours since plugged.

I guess (based on the screenshot bars and based on the actual usage) the screen-on time was about 60% (so between 4.5 and 5 hours).

Boo at HTC for removing screen-on time counter.

Google now is off.

Mobile data is off.

WiFi is on.

Power saver mode is off.

Brightness was automatic, usually around 30%.

No extra battery monitor was running (they may affect battery while measuring too).

Stock rom, one OTA update was performed.

Android version 4.1.1

Build 1.17.401.1

I have never managed to fully discharge the battery so its measurements may not be fully calibrated.
[HTC One X+] fyarf:
no problems here

This phone has great life for me. The only times I've had a problem getting a full day was when I first got it and basically didn't put it down. Since then I usually have 30-50% left at the end of the day. I wonder what some people do to drain the battery so much...
[HTC One X+] tzmx:
Probably gaming ^^
[HTC One X+] superchilpil:
Mine is just barley good enough, I never put my phone down. Doesn't matter tho because I always carry a charger

Slithered from my HTC One X+
[HTC One X+] smoothmoose:
I disagree.

I don't game at all. I get about 10-14hrs of battery life with 1-2hrs of screen time with most of that running on LTE and with Power Saver ON. That is OK, but not great at all. I would like to get that type of battery life with 3-4 hours screen time and using Navigation. I think for people that use their phone for work and travel for work, you ideally need 16hrs battery life with 3-4 hours screen time with some GPS/Navigation. Don't think this phone will every get there.

I've finally got my IT to give me WIFI access at work to avoid 3G/LTE and today I'm testing if Juice Defender is better than Power Saver mode, but based on my current drain, I don't sure i'll make it to 16hrs.

In either case, I found the drain while running Navigation to be HUGE (40%+/h) and if Power Saving mode is OFF the phone will overheat as well (55C/130F).

Still I love this phone, but hope I can find a way to squeeze as much battery as possible. When I look over to say the Nexus 4 forum, I'm a bit envious on what those users are achieving on their batteries.
[HTC One X+] ctowne:
I'm debating switching from the N4 to the HOX+ but the battery is one huge concern. I traded a RAZR HD for a HOX+ and i should have it tomorrow so i can compare the two. I've been averaging between 4 and 5 hours of screen time per day, with my best being 5h 31min. The only thing that I'm thinking will help my case for the OX+ is that i will only use it on hspa+ instead of LTE.
[HTC One X+] smoothmoose:
Well, I choose the HOX+ mainly because you can't buy a N4, unless you go to the aftermarket and pay a premium. Also the 16GB is just not enough and LG lost me a customer coming from the LG G2x. Plus in Canada, there's not much benefit buying a phone off-contract. I was off-contract for the past 3yrs and my experience wasn't any better than the the providers that lock you in. That said, I'm guessing you will see better battery on your N4 compared to the HOX+...but hey, I don't either will come close to the RAZR HD for battery life.
[HTC One X+] tzmx:
Thats very weird! Here are screenshots with detailed info about one of my usage days...

As you see i got 37hours with 3h screen time.... so about same as you.

All connection ON all the time (wifi, 3g)

Sync on

Power saver ON.

Some gaming, web browsing, social apps, calling, texting and stuff (see app usage screenshot)

p.s. my phone is stock and unrooted and i dont use any power saver apps or anything like that. Just stock power saver option.

Oh and i played one game with power saver off, not for long tho. (was tegra3 game, that racing game, you can see it in screenshot)
[HTC One X+] ctowne:
I had a RAZR HD for a few days. Wasn't impressed with the battery life to be honest. Maybe the Maxx version is better. And I was one of the lucky limbo level 3'ers from the N4 launch, that was not fun.
[HTC One X+] ctowne:
Doubt the HOX+ can beat my N4! Kinda sucks cuz they have the same size battery
[HTC One X+] mlts22:
Maybe I've not been using it for heavy gaming, but in the month I've had the phone, I've not run into any serious battery issues. If this were an issue, I'd probably install JuiceDefender, and configure it as per my schedule so push E-mails are not constantly keeping the radio on, as well as throttling CPU back.

I also have a charger in my car, so if I'm on the road, it gets charged.
[HTC One X+] ugochuku:
my battery life usually gets me through the day until about 7pm with around 3hrs screen on time so i cant complain too much. i listen to music a lot and text heavily
[HTC One X+] smoothmoose:
Yeh. I dont thjnk ive seen better battery from any hox+ posted here. Ive seen 5hr screen time but the total run time is 6hrs.
[HTC One X+] Kicku:
Never had a problem with the battery life myself.
[HTC One X+] smoothmoose:
I might have a bad car charger, but when I'm running Navigation, it still drains the battery at 10%/h.

I think I do have higher battery life expectations. I tested with Juice Defender yesterday, and basically it provides around the same benefit as running in Battery Saver mode. Got 2hrs screen time with 14 hrs total run time while mostly connected to WIFI (maybe 2hrs or so connected to HSPA/LTE). Again this is OK...but not great.

Today I am testing with both JD and Power Saver on and will report back. It's the last day of my 14 day return/exchange policy and I'm planning to keep the HOX+. I have a very slight inclination to change to LG Optimus G as I believe it has the potential to get the same battery life as the Nexus 4. But I'm scared as hell about the LG support and the if people think the Dev community is thin here, it's basically a ghost town there. That said, it looks like they have a good build for CM 10.1.

wta-battery life

hi..ive been using onex+ for a week now.. is it normal that one x+ battery drains bout 5% when im using fb for mere 15 minutes? *im using stock kernel .. and attached is my battery usage. the other day i played a game for like 20 minutes..and it drained more than 20% of my battery..
[HTC One X+] chahicken:
I've had the phone for just over 2 months now and find the battery life fairly good.

The only issue I'm facing, is the fact that as soon as the battery load hits 9% or 8%, the phone goes off within 2 more minutes of using it.

(Not gaming, just internet or similar)

It acts like my old HD2 when battery is at 1%^^

Anyone else noticed this?
[HTC One X+] dubdroid_:
@chahicken:

well, battery drain from 10% to 0% is fast, but not that fast like it drains on your phone... I had 10 minutes from 10 to 4% when I used my Hox+ the first time, now I never go that deep, I recharge when I am between 20 and 10%.

But I think your drain is no problem, since you have a good battery life at all ;)
[HTC One X+] chahicken:
Yeah the other 90% of battery usually last 2,5 days (normal use, without gaming). Can't complain otherwise with such a huge Screen =)
[HTC One X+] jizang:
AW: Battery life is good enough

I have a question I heard that if you start charging the phone before the battery is completely run out or the phone tells you to charge it, it will break the battery is that true ?
[HTC One X+] Redgie999:
Not on batteries made in the last 10 years :P
[HTC One X+] mujj:
Very good so far

Well I can't comment much on my battery as of yet. I used to have a One X but had problems. I had it replaced by my network for a One X+.

On the One X I used to average 10h with 3h of screen time max. I've had the X+ for two days now and it seems to be much better. I got 13h yesterday with 3.5h screen time, and that was with downloading updates, all my apps, setting up my phone initially and playing with it.

Today the battery has gotten even better surprisingly!

Wifi on all the time (data plan when I went out)

Emails, FB, twitter etc all on auto sync.

Auto brightness

Played a few games

Watched a few vids

Normal messaging

Around an hour of calls

I'm loving this phone at the moment. Everything I loved about the One X and less of the downsides :D
[HTC One X+] J Ozzie:
Im Using the Viper Rom for Telus Rogers and my phone dies hella quick! Yet i have the screen on dim, close my apps. Usage is texing, calling some browsing.. Not sure if its the new update but since the last my phones like is short!

battery life

i had the cyanogenmd rom with blade kernel, and the battery life was around one day but whitout using it very much.

now im trying out the android revolution hd with elitekernel. seems a bit better imo...
[HTC One X+] digitalexplr:
Currently I have 33hrs on the phone and still at 38%.
[HTC One X+] id10terrordfw:
Considering I was averaging 20% an hour with my normal usage on my Nexus 4 with stock 4.2.2, 5.8% an hour with the same app loadout on this is a breath of fresh air. Similar usage patterns.
[HTC One X+] bobsie41:
I acquired this device last week and out of the box with 1.17.401.1 the battery life was awful and the rom was a little bit stuttery :(

I rooted it and installed viper x which improved the smoothness a little but the battery was still awful and I was considering returning it.

Last night, I wiped everything re-locked the bootloader and ran the RUU. It's now like another phone :D , smooth as butter and the battery life, even without the rom 'settling in,' is awesome. :D

Perhaps it is just my device but maybe, for those with problems, it may be a good idea to format everything and do a fresh install of the stock firmware before embarking on your modding journey.
[HTC One X+] sami7846:
More then 20hrs with over 5hrs of screen on time...:) My one X+ rocks except the heating issue with few games.

[HTC One X+] lurchweiler:
Well, I've had my handset a week, having upgraded from a desire s, and I'm impressed, but that probably isn't a fair comparison. My wife has an original one X, and my battery does seem to last longer than hers, with similar use. Once I've charged it from dead a few times, hopefully it should improve more.
[HTC One X+] old_benj:
18 hours, wi-fi is always on, periodic checks of e-mail, browsing internet, making calls.

With the new Elite kernel I still have 50 % left over after a day of heavy use, won`t quite last 2 days of heavy use but will last 3 of light use! standby is excellent!
[HTC One X+] mickotoole:
After doing some battery comparisons between my HOX+ and my mates S3 it turns out that I'm getting on average 4 hours more per charge with similar usage.
[HTC One X+] havoklant:
I used to have an iPhone 4, now i've got a HOX+.

Excellent phone, except the battery life :(

When reading pulsenews, facebook or 9gag, my battery percentage looks like my bankaccount, loosing 20-30% in one hour.

Wifi = on

Auto sync = off

Google now = off

Juicedefender = on (data off)

Screen = auto

Battery saver = on --> CPU-enery, Screen, tactile feedback.

Avast = on

Email = off.

I'm thinking of rooting the phone and installing a battery friendly ROM, but I don't know if this would help.

The standard battery save mode on the HOX+ makes the processor go up to max 1,3 ghz.

Since I don't use my phone for gaming or anything intensive, would it be wise to underclock or undervolt the processor? Could I turn off 2 cores?

Would this help or is it the screen thats sucking up my battery?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC One X+] jrockwell:
Battery life is the ONLY major issue with this phone out of the box. A quick root + Elegancia ROM should solve your problem real quick. With Elegancia I get 12-14 hours out of a charge easily with moderate-high moderate use and not having to shut all the fun features off. Rooting is the way to go with this phone no question.

[HTC One X+] havoklant:
Looks impressive :laugh:, but it looks like you rarely use the screen.

I'm wondering what the best rom is for long screen-time, yet light use.

Since a 1.6 ghz quad core is overkill for my usage, what would be the minimum of mhz the phone needs?

Thanks for replying!

Crazy battery and standby time on stock one x+
[HTC One X+] pradeepvizz:
Looks pretty awesome!

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

I have just migrated to HTC One X+ from the original HOX! I definitely think something is wrong with my Google Maps too! I have just disabled my Google Maps and i see pretty good improvement.

The only other thing that i did is to set the screen brightness to some percent and not at auto.

I guess Google Maps has to do something with GPS and that drains the battery. I am going to re-enable it in a day or two to check whats going on
[HTC One X+] steve1996:
According to my tests on my fully stock one x+, it drains 1% in 6 hours, 2% in 12 hours, 3% in 18 hours, 4% in 24 hours, which is quite linear. So it's 4% a day if you don't touch your phone. So I calculated 100%÷4%=25d , about 25 days. If I take out the last 10% to 20% that drains faster, we could get around 20 to 25 days of standby without touching the phone. Don't know if custom Roms and kernel would do similar. And lastly we should thank the companion core in our tegra 3 :D
[HTC One X+] nicka3200:
AFAIK every time an app starts the gps the battery stats will log Maps usage even if maps was not used directly. Do you have google now enabled as this will constantly check your location to give you optimised results? If you don't need it turn it off & see if it makes a difference.
[HTC One X+] smoothmoose:
Seems to have stopped with my Google maps battery drainage. It was happening for a few days even after restart. Not sure what the cause was. But I've always had Google Now on. Its a useful albeit somewhat creppy feature.

[HTC One X+] -Kevlar-:
Absolutely amazed at battery life right now. Gave my sgs3 to my wife and picked this phone up. Sgs3 was Ok as I got 15 to 16 hours. Same use on the hox+ and I'm at 63% after 22+ hours. Unreal. Same usage nothing has changed
[HTC One X+] plastikuss:
Are you using stock ROM?
[HTC One X+] -Kevlar-:
Completely stock
[HTC One X+] mrbro0ks:
I regularly lose about 15%-20% over night. I've disabled all the apps that I have no use for and no syncing is scheduled. Being that my phone is completely stock I'm unsure of the cause battery drain after seeing other users stock battery life. I've have tried juice defender which has worked wonders on previous phones but it seems to do nothing for this one. Any ideas?
[HTC One X+] steve1996:
I'm using completely stock as well, my phone loses 1% in every 6 hours of idle, try using better battery stats and see if you have any wakelocks, standby times should be crazy on this phone :D
[HTC One X+] agentJBM:
Have you gone into wifi/advanced settings and turned off wifi while screen off? That will save you major battery life. Also, go into mobile data settings and disable background data. Your phone won't beep all night and day when you get an email or other app related notification. Just get your email and social media notifications when you want by simply waking up your phone. Save tons on data charges too. Your voicemail and text will still be instantly sent.
[HTC One X+] mrbro0ks:
Tried this but still having a lot more battery drain then I should over night. Still unsure of the cause. Thanks
[HTC One X+] nbucko:
While I've only had this phone for two days I have to say I'm amazed at the battery life compared to my gnex. I had my gnex rooted, Rom'd and under clocked and I would only get 12 hours with my average use. Right now I'm going on 30 hours with 14% left on the hox+. I do use the power save mode and have only noticed lag while playing homerun battle 3d.

Seems like battery life is pretty inconsistent with this phone according to others that are on stock and really bad with those who are running a different Rom.
[HTC One X+] pradeepvizz:
You can use the built-in power usage meter to see what apps use the battery. charge it completely before you sleep so that the usage so that the usage list is reset... wake up and see what apps used the battery.. imho easiest way..

I had the battery drain during the night when the WiFi is on, i just put WiFi off manually and it stays good.
[HTC One X+] geojoking:
I've had the phone for a few days now and I must admit that I am pretty satisfied with the battery life. It can hold for a day, with Wi-fi on (most of the time) and Mobile network on (rest of the time) + sync. Right now I'm at 51% with 19h on battery, but I admit it's been a light day.

Also, I use Power saver almost all the time.

Battery fine except when idle

Hello. The battery life on my HOX+ is rather fine, able to last me a whole day with around 20% left. But why is it that the idle discharge is so severe? Does anybody know why? Cheers.
[HTC One X+] nicka3200:
When idle my stock hox+ uses 2 to 3% battery per hour. I don't think that's too bad. However system & Kendall are always heavy users. I think it's just that other apps are handled very efficiently by the phone.

I'm running latest Viper X 1.0.8 Rom with latest stable version of Elite kernel, undervolted -40 and powersaver mode on most of the time : the options ticked are as follows: cpu power, screen timeout, Bluetooth connection, auto sync, GPS.Have Google Now and location turned off I'm also running greenify app and have many apps hibernated such as gmaps, pulse etc, brightness set from 0% in dark environments to 70% in very bright environments and yet I only get almost 4 hours screen on time with data turned off most of the time and only turning it on when needing it e.g. checking facebook or pulse ... It usully lasts a day from 9am-5pm with 20% left...have most things switched off, hibernated and yet compared to a lot of the results most people post here my battery life is pretty poor...

Maybe not perfect but I'm pretty happy with it.
