Yes, I did turned off auto sync since the beginning of my phone. And even turned of notifications for email and Facebook. Even turned off the sync current location in weather settings. And my brightness was zero level since the beginning of my phone. But found no much difference and then use to keep auto while going outdoor and zero level while indoor using a power control widget.

Regarding battery charge, I read somewhere that with the new batteries, lithium or something, if we leave it to discharge completely, making it to start charge from zero, it will reduce the life span of the battery due to some chemical terms(don't remember). and then if we charge from zero to 100% it counts as one charge cycle. And there will be 1000 or few total charge cycle per battery life span. The new batteries are designed that it can withstand multiple partly charges. But after 30 full charges or monthly once, we must let it switch off until battery drains and then charge it.

However, I mostly charge it when it alerts battery low, and sometimes 10%. And once in a week I let it switch of until battery drains and charge it without switching on the phone.

Guess I am just lucky mate :P today I did about an hour of photos in powercam on my phone and about an hour of music and all whatsapp and browsing still 9 hrs battery life this is the fact I didn't get my battery replaced when my phone used to get hot during games still does but hey battery doesn't die :P

If you have rooted then you can use greenify on playstore it's a really good app to save battery life :)
[HTC Desire X] anilnc:
Yea indeed you are lucky I guess.

Are you sure you get 9 hrs of usage time excluding idle or standby time?

Meaning you actually played games and browsing and email altogether for 9hrs? Or totally including standby/idle time it's 9hrs?
[HTC Desire X] djranbhir:
Stand time was I guess 90 mins altogether but rest the screen was constantly on I had kept the screen on never sleep was testing extreme battery endurance..... Lasted 8 hrs approx
[HTC Desire X] anilnc:
Even if I get 7 hours I would be happy. I tried to remove the HTC clock and weather widget from home screen and then my battery lasted 5:15hrs usage hours now. It used to be max 4:30 hrs before with HTC clock & weather which was eating battery by 1% per hour in idle mode.

I guess if I remove everything it's waste I bought a smart phone. I guess I should adjust with 4 hrs usage time, sometimes if its full in idle mode I get less than 3 hrs of usage time.

Thanks for help and tips.
[HTC Desire X] navmad:
Try the app "greenify" from playstore if you're rooted.

You will see a noticeable difference. :)

[HTC Desire X] anilnc:
No mine is not rooted. It's a new phone. Maybe 45 days. Have completed 8 to 10 full recharge cycles as far as I remember.

So don't want to void the warranty by rooting. And I'm a complete noob here in both android and a smart phone.
[HTC Desire X] anilnc:
I think battery will gradually loose its cells, which might make it unable to recharge. For a minute i thought i was wrong. BUT Please read this link below.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=669497

I have also read a thread telling about calibrating the battery if some are getting poor battery life like me. I will try it on my next recharge. The link is below.

[HTC Desire X] djranbhir:
dont get me wrong but i think your digging too deep into this battery issue mate and honestly even if all that information looks legit as it mentions whats more important is storage conditions temperature and mine usually at less than 40 at room temperature so i dont really see a major issue here and if you scroll down and see the 2nd post a person has rightfully mentioned about the battery percentage indicated by the phone to successfully perform a complete and i mean in real sense nullify the battery's energy is possible only if rooted and with some special methods as batteries hold about 10-15% battery always reserve which is activated by a simple code in case of emergencies so please stay calm and try to focus on discovering the actual culprit behind your faulty battery life and dont complexify yourself with worldly information....
[HTC Desire X] anilnc:
Yes, you are right. These thread I went through maybe few weeks back while my phone was new and trying to look how to charge. So I kept in mind that I should not let the phone switch off out of battery power too often,but let it off once in a month or once a 30 charges. But as you told you always let it off before charging, I thought I was doing it in wrong way. That was the reason I tried to put that link.

As I already told, there are not many apps to discover the culprit of the faulty battery life except the HTC clock/weather widget and wifi. Today just to test i tried to install a game and tried to play when i am free upto 1 hour. for this one hour my battery reduced by 30%. My room temperature is about 20 and outside is 18. Is that a possible reason?

I will try to calibrate using the 2nd link tips.

[HTC Desire X] djranbhir:
that article is outdated my friend that was an issue with earlier android versions especially phones equipped with 4G... ics is a completely different system and has a whole different approach to cpu handling and power management since jb...if your having so much issues which is practically the odd ones i am seeing on this forum...go to your nearest htc centre and get your battery checked they might help you instead of doing mind boggling research work and find outdated stuff.... :mad:
[HTC Desire X] anilnc:
Ofcourse I did research when I bought my phone which my first smart phone, and had no idea about maintaining. And that time it was ICS and not JB. And thats how i came to know about xda. But is it wrong to confirm about battery dying or not when it is about lithium?

If I disturbed you I am sorry. As I'm away from my country of warranty I cannot get any support apart from nine support. According to online support, they respond very slow and directing me to their website with tips to save battery life which is not enough.

I thought I could ask some users with same phone. That's it. Sorry again. And thanks.
[HTC Desire X] djranbhir:
a small tip i did for your wifi issue when you prolong your wifi usage if your like me...

settings>wifi>options(3 dots above)>advanced>Keep wifi on during sleep> change it to when plugged in.

this way when your connected to wifi and say keep your phone idle it will conserve battery by entering sleep mode.....
[HTC Desire X] anilnc:
Ok thanks. But does it mean I won't get viber and whatsapp notifications while in sleep mode?
[HTC Desire X] djranbhir:
no that doesnt happen actually in my experience :) apps like whatsapp and viber get instant notifications the minute you turn on the phone :cowboy:
[HTC Desire X] anilnc:
Ok so while in sleep mode there won't be any notifications from viber or whatsapp until I unlock the phone right?

Anyway I should see with this setting for some days. :)
[HTC Desire X] anilnc:
I don't know why but still the wifi seem to be on same like it was with always on option. I've attached the screenshot if you can help. I've also mailed this to htc so if my device has a problem they can advice.

My usage hours..

Thanks
[HTC Desire X] djranbhir:
but it seems that your battery life has improved mate enjoy it why get hyper of it android was and is a battery hoger we cant help it dual core chipsets my laptop is dual core lolzz and it uses a giant battery:p:p:p so enjoy your first smartphone its a great experience :victory:
[HTC Desire X] RossFixxed:
I have found, anecdotally, the battery is better on standby but when the phone is in use it drains faster. JB seems to use more RAM and that is having an impact on the life of the batt. There is other factors too I'm sure but I've to see what they are.

I'm turning off auto synch to see, and I'm installing qualcomm's snapdragon battery extender from play store to experiment. I'm getting 8 hours these days rather than about 12.

App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...app&hl=en&rdid=com.xiam.snapdragon.app&rdot=1
[HTC Desire X] anilnc:
But how come many others get 8hours usage time?

---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

8hours usage time? Then that's a great battery life according to me.
[HTC Desire X] RossFixxed:
Whoops, eight hours between needing to charge it, not eight hours of usage. It dies fast on this phone. Can keep nexus 4 alive for about 15 hours with same amount of useage, a bit more again on the HTC One. S4 lasts the full 24 hours usually!

But how many hours you are getting while in use? As you said in standby battery is good. For me in standby mode, screen off, it take 1% of battery power. But while in use it used to get 4.5 hours but now after removing all widgets and using the tip which a friend here 'djranbhir' gave, I get 5 hours of usage.
[HTC Desire X] RossFixxed:
About 3.5 hours of useage, and about 8 in total for it to drain out. It's pretty bad to be honest. Got more in ICS as I use it a fair bit during the day. If I leave it on standby I get about 36 hours sitting there (and about 30 on ICS). That's left alone completely with wifi on.
[HTC Desire X] anilnc:
I recently did battery calibration and got my battery last upto 93 hours with minimal usage. Usage time is approx 3 hours but this is because I used it very less by few seconds each time. I just received few calls, SMS Facebook and whatsapp and few minutes of browsing. I'm happy at least for 3 days I don't have to charge.

But one thing, before when I manually switch off the wifi while going to sleep, it took just 1% for 8hours which was great. But now changing the sleep policy to 'when plugged in' and I manually switch off wifi while going to sleep it took 4% for 8 hours. I don't understand this part.

Below is some screen shots during this test.

Thanks djranbhir for your tips, it improved the battery life. :)

My first post here. I brought this phone one day before. Battery life is impressive.

[HTC Desire X] jawadpe:
I think there is a bug in jb which shows battery full even though its not, i left my phone for charging over night and today i got 12 hrs of above moderate usage. I browse online alot and a few texts n calls, along Wid a little of gaming in those 12 hrs. So that does sound impressive, I wad shocked too. thought jb messed up my battery. Anyways, Gona try n charge the phone a bit longer than the full indication and check again, will let you know if its a bug by tmrw. you guys should try the same..

How to root the K701 ( Empire Electronix ) Tablet.

Intro;

1 Stuff you need

2 Preperation

3 Rooting

1 Stuff you need

Windowsbased computer/laptop

Connection cable ( Micro-usb to usb ) to connect your tablet to your computer

Zhuodashi 2.2.9, you can download it right here http://angelsdust.nl/download/zhuodashisetup.exe DON'T install it yet

Because if you wish you can delete the program afterwards.

I advise to follow the steps as shown below, and keep continuing clicking the red marked buttons

Again, click on the red marked options

Be sure both options are marked, and then click the red marked button

And click again the red marked button

Now, pay attention, both options should stay open.

And then pres again the red marked button.

Congrats,

If al went well, you just installed Zhuodashi

3 Rooting

Switch of your tablet

Make sure that you REMOVE the SD-CARD ( it's very important that you remove the sd-card, otherwise it won't work )

Now switch on your tablet

Go to settings/ developer options and switch USB-Debugging on

Now connect your tablet with your computer/laptop

On the tablet next to the clock you wil see a pictogram, just swipe it up

and tick on Usb connection

If al went well it should look like this

Now it's time to launch Zhuodashi

Click the red marked button

It should now look like this

Click the red marked button on the left ( next to root )

Now press ROOT

Yep, the red marked button

If you get a red cross, just click again

Now, you can close the program

4 Finishing

Now disconect the tablet from your laptop/computer

and go back to your homescreen

If all went well, you can remove Zhuodashi from both systems

If the app superuser not installed, you can get it from the google store

But it should be automaticly installed during root.

Congrat's your tab should now be rooted.......................or in digital heaven ;)

hi

I have a desire hd, and it will only stay on if it is connected to the charger (charging)

little bit of back ground

root DHD

running android 2.3.5

htc sense 3.5

software ARHD 7.2

kernel. 2.6.35.14 lordmodnct-0.0-cfs+lord@lord-mint #66

battery fully charged and charges, battery cal has been complete a couple of times

when I switching the phone on without the charger connected and it boots up to the white HTC logo and then turns self off,

whilst charger is plug in, it will stay on as normal..

different known working battery exchange and problem still persist

try flashing different rom problem still persist

if I boot into the bootloader without the charger it will boot up, and stay within the bootloader for as long as I need it to.

very frustrating when you have to have the phone plugged in to be enable to use it, unless the phone switches itself off, I have researched and tried a couple of most things, but problem still persist.

any help guys before I do the early upgrade from my provider

thanks in advance

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonylee000:
Can we assume youve wiped the battery stats in recovery? Have you tried doing a proper full wipe? If so then withput any other info I can only assume the voltage being provided by the battery isnt great enough to keep the phone powered once the cpu kicks in to boot the phone. Booting recovery likely uses less cpu and therefore less ampage. A cheap 99p battery off of ebay should answer weather or not your battery is to fault.

A friend of mine sent me a video via text message but it opens up as a slideshow. There's no sound and the image doesn't change, it's just a picture. I've tried opening it in several different messaging apps with the same result. Any suggestions on how to view it as a video?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] psp9000333:
is it specifically that clip? try viewing another video clip and if it somehow plays as a slideshow, cant help you.

you could be recieving poor fps maybe.

I haven't received any other videos via text message to try out. But I can play videos from my gallery that I've personally recorded.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andrewgk121:
Morning agtonil

I have the same problem, and sometimes it doesn't even show up as a slideshow. I'm on CM10.1 and what I do is holding down the video or the message it came in so that I get a prompt to download it, and it then shows up in Gallery. You could try that, perhaps?

It's obviously not the best way to view videos, but at least it's a way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] davefields3:
When I download to gallery it still doesn't come up as a video, it's still in slideshow format so it's just a still photo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
My pic texts show up as a clip too. I've just gotten used to it. But it's a pain at times because it takes what seems like forever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] davefields3:
No he sent a video but when I go to try to view the video it tells me to "view slideshow". And when I open it like that, it's just a picture. I want to view the actual streaming video.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
I understand. There's something off about mms and sms messages. Not sure if it's the aosp or the custom roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] davefields3:
Do you think if I tried to open it on my computer by using Airdroid that it would play as a video?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
Not really sure, no reason not to try. I don't have a solution either. Maybe someone out there will.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] davefields3:
Well I think I solved it in case anyone else is looking for this answer. I downloaded GoSMS and went into the MMS settings and increased the maximum MMS size and then had my friend resend the video. It now plays as a video, not slideshow.

What the crap.

EDIT2: examined the latest flashable zip available. There's a logcat binary in /system/bin, but I still can't find this anywhere on my device after flashing...

EDIT3: looked at the installer script and couldn't find a mention of logcat anywhere (/system/bin/log is the closest I could find).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndrolinRoot:
Maybe your kernel disable logcat ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psyren:
I did a clean wipe (system, cache, factory) and then flashed the newest zip, then Slim Gapps AIO.

I then let it (attempt to) boot for a good 10 minutes.

I didn't flash the kernel (I had turned off logging previously) so that it wouldn't pick up the settings of my usual one. Still no dice.
