I had a similar problem where the stock battery would only ever last for ~7-8 hours - even on standby. I got an extended life 3000mAh battery and that managed to last for about 14 hours.

I had a talk to HTC and they agreed to warranty claim it. I'm still waiting for it back... It was sent back to them on 14/11, and I'm still waiting.

Stop your device checking for emails for a few days and ses what happens. Definitely install the fake server trick. Activesync continuosly trying to do its dirty work can be a pain in the arsenal, at times.

Let us know how you get on.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Firehawkns:
Well I turned off email checks last night and disabled the radio this morning so it wouldn't search for signal when coming to work and set the phone on my desk. I never used it this morning, just had it sitting on my desk in standby, until about 4 hours after I took it off the charger and the phone buzzed me and when I checked the phone the battery said 0% remaining and the phone cut off a few seconds later (now I am sure if I would have turned it back on the battery would say something like 70%, but I didn't do that this time). I left the phone off and plugged it into the computer to charge, the LED on the front come on amber for about 20 minutes then went to green. I turned the phone on and it says 100%. I don't see how the battery went from 0 to 100 in a matter of 20 minutes.

I did a lot of searching the last couple of days and phone issues from email to bad manufactured batteries (which I happen to have the brand someone suggested as a bad one), I also saw people pointing out do the fake server trick, yet I can't find a single time where anyone said what the trick is or how to do it. Not even in the WIKI where the trick was mentioned as a possible fix (or google for that matter, just the same words first posted in a thread here about it).

So, how do you do this server trick?

I plan to get a new battery after Christmas at any rate.

I was having the same battery drain problem (less than 8 hrs on a full charge), I did the fake server and turned off auto day light saving time checking the clock settings, I now get 12 - 15 hrs on a full charge.

I'm running vp3G's 3.62.3 AT&T ROM with radio 1.54.07.00
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Firehawkns:
Thanks! I was just finishing flashing a new ROM when I saw this. I did the fake server trick, but this rom doesn't have the Dya Light Savings time option where the instructions say it should be. Maybe that's all removed by this rom. TIme will tell.

Thanks again.

@ Firehawkns

hey buddy!!

I am using a JasJam for the last 2 months. i dont know if my reply is useful to you or not. As far as battery life is concerned am impressed with mine. Am using TNT's latest ROM and my radio version is 1.54.07.00. I use my phone all day with couple of calls that last about 2-3 min each. But every night I get calls from my gf, to whom I talk for 3 hours straight(mostly starting from 11pm to 2 am) and every day I put my phone to charge after I finish the call. So after finishing the call I still have 50% of battery. Moreover our call starts right after I leave work at 11pm so by the time I reach home which is around 11.30pm my phone connects to wifi too. So all the time am on the call as well as an active wifi connection.

So as per my experience the battery life is cool. So try TNT ROM!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] CRCinAU:
Interestingly enough, now I've got my phone back from the warranty claim, it's only drawing 81mA with backlight on, no wifi or BT. Before sending it back, it was drawing ~180mA with backlight on, no wifi or BT.

This will just about double the battery life that I get in theory...

Install BatteryStatus on your device and see what it tells you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Firehawkns:
That is a cool program.

First off I really hope it isn't the phone, for one it's my third one from Cingular since the first two died within 2 weeks (back in may), second it's got one big gash down the corner where it came out of the holder and hit the road one day. I think that would be just enough reason for them to not do anything with it.

Anyway, I am going to replace the battery because I can't figure out why the phone is doing things like saying it has 20% batt remaing, then I reboot and it goes to 70%. I am hoping this is a battery issue. So far the phone has been unplugged for a tad less then one hour, has not been used and the battery meter is on 90%.

Battery Status is a kick butt program and I plan to do some searching today to see if people have benchmarked there ratings/draw. I notice mine jumps randomly. With wifi, BT, all programs all terminated, backlight on the lowest it will go and radio has one bar 3g sometimes, two bars Edge sometimes, but didn't change during watching this list below, but the MA does this every 5 second refresh:

111--190----125-----109----250----210-----140----135----226---111---etc.

I am currently running a barebones fresh flash WM6 rom with nothing installed except Cingulars media net/ISP settings, radio is 1.47.10. Going to try 1.50 today I think.

I turned the radio off just now and the MA went down (expected) to 84 and is jumping between that and 104. The battery has dropped to 80% since I listed 90 above. The phone has now been unplugged for right at an hour. Also it might be interesting to note that the little battery percent/bar icon on the "Battery Status" software once in a while will display -1% like it is right now, the phones battery display says 80% and when I tap the battery icon on battery status it jumps to 80%.

Anyway, I am just listing points since this thread is here, I know I need to replace the battery first before any additional insight can be brought forward.

Thanks everyone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Miguel-:
Hmm.. On my Schaps 4.22full, radio 1.54.00 on good reception (on Finnish network) I get around 30 mA with GSM and 3G when idling(no wifi, no bluetooth, no beam, backlight around halfway). With airplane mode on I get around 28 mA. Tried with backlight dimmest and the drain was 15mA on GSM network.

Usually I put the 3G off so the battery would last longer.

The phone takes more power when searching the network so it would be a good idea trying to switch the phone part off at your office.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Firehawkns:
Well, looks like it was indeed the battery. Over the last week the phone would randomly shut off (about 4 times a day), the battery would be at 10% within 4 hours even if the phone hadn't been used, and while using the phone you could almost watch the battery go from 90% to 30% within a 5 minute talk time, reboot the phone and it would be back at 80%.

Put in the new battery yesterday after charging over night and the phone not only didn't shut off at any point, but I had 60% power remaining by the end of the day (with some data and voice use).

The old battery was a Dynapack from China, that I had read on here is prone to defects.

Thanks for the help everyone, wish I would have gotten a new batt sooner.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Aimara:
just curious can note 7 avoid this catastrophe if the battery was removeable ,what are your views ?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
Since we don't know what the cause was, my opinion is I don't know (well, I read something I haven't seen anywhere on the boards or any other news source but one but I won't state it because I have been accused of reading the news, it is in a language most won't understand anyway). But I am confident they should be able to fix the issue. I would largely prefer them to keep the IP68 rating.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BozQ:
I'm just speculating here.

My answer is: Maybe.

If I read is correct and the fault lies with the design flaw more than a battery defect, having removable battery would mean losing water resistance and the curve design, and maybe not apply too much pressure on to the physical battery itself.

What I do know is, if we had removable battery, Samsung would have avoided a full on major recall and just exchange the battery. If size is a problem, maybe a smaller capacity in exchange for safety. And maybe a small refund or a token of gesture to make up for the smaller capacity.

Oh well. What a waste.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
IF the battery is-was the problem then your question has an obvious answer. WE don't know yet what the problem is so no one can yet say.

Its yet more of these threads with yet more speculation over a done and dusted deal.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] XanaviGTR:
I do agree with broadband. Even with removable batteries, if the batteries were damage, I wont be fast enough to remove it to prevent total loss.

But yah, it will drastically affect the recall process. Recall batteries are still better than the whole phone. And there will be plentybof after market alternatives to tide over temporarily
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Aimara:
One of the reason is also easy troubleshooting , but a faulty set is needed to test the theory, example a faulty note 7 came with a removable battery, reports states that it will get extremely hot before smoking up, sure many of you who own Samsung older version of phones, changing battery is quite fast if the techniques is right, ok just a example, if the first one is a sdi battery as claimed, went faulty, threw it off before smoking up.

Went to claim from Samsung, which is ampere battery(forgot the name), if it didn't does a thermal? What's the deduction then?

If the second battery did smoke up, high chance its the phone issue? Of course this is just a theory, with all the reported note 7 smoking up and burned like crisp, it's quite hard to csi it.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BozQ:
Based on my observations, it seems like the replacement units are more prone to blowing up than the original. Even with the ATL batteries.

So, what should i do now? I'm not sure what's involved with unrooting and then using a different method.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] audioralf:
You don't need to unroot.

Simply use Huawei backup to store your apps and content on external sd.

Put B005 update.app to dload folder on external sd and the newest supersu.zip to root of external sd card.

Then get bootloader code and install adb to unlock bootloader.

start system. On EMUI select factory reset.

After reset start system and select firmware local update and select full package.

After update start system and do factory reset again including format internal sd.

Then flash TWRP for Android 5.0 on recovery2 partition.

fastboot flash recovery2 TWRP_5.0.img

On TWRP install supersu.zip to have control on root.

Start system and restore all apps, which are not system apps.

Install supersu.app from PlayStore

[HTC One X] skylirizm:
Hey all, first time poster, long time dweller.

I've recently got a HTC ONE X (PJ46110), it was classed as being faulty due to having the "too many pattern lock attempts" and thus was chucked in a tub to be thrown out before I saved it.

I have had a few HTC ONE X phones before and they were able to boot into the bootloader, go into recovery, etc.

With this, I figured a simple factory reset would work and bring this phone back to a working state. However, this was not the case.

This particular phone - I can not get into the bootloader no matter what I do.

Volume Down + Power, release power, hold power, all those options, nothing works.

The capacitive buttons flash 6 times before the phone boots the restarts.

- I can't use any ADB commands as USB Debugging isn't enabled.

- Tried all button combos and nothing.

I also have looked high and low and all I have found is people demonstrating the hard reset procedure with the button combos - which doesn't work as mentioned.

But then I am sort of running in circles trying to figure out what to do - with access to ADB disabled for the moment I thought that flashing the device wouldn't be an option. However, I am not an expert when it comes to flashing HTC Devices unfortunately.

So if anyone can sort of give me a push in the right direction into how I would go about this certain issue cause, as I said, tried extensive googling into hard resets etc and unfortunately it just boots up and asks for gmail details because of too many pattern attempts :(

If someone recommends to root the device, i'll hop onto the guide and do that but I thought there might be a way to do a hard reset without having to do all that (Was thinking bootloader unlock?)

Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks!
[HTC One X] SUPERUSER:
You should hold volume down + Power until the phone boots to Hboot.

If the phone is on. Just keep holding down the volume down + Power and it should first turn off and then enter Hboot.

Are you sure that the volume rocker working at all?
[HTC One X] skylirizm:
Thanks for the reply!

Yeah the volume rocker definitely works because of the capacitive buttons flashing upon holding either Volume up/down + power, without holding the volume buttons it just boots straight up. But I have held the volume down and power and all it does is just show the HTC logo, then restart - blank screen for 5 seconds, HTC logo - etc.
[HTC One X] SUPERUSER:
The capacitive buttons will flash when you hold down the powerbutton for a while indicating it will kill the power. This action is independent of the volume rockers.

I don't know if pressing the volume rockers will do anything when you are at the lock screen in your case. So it might be hard for you to check if the buttons are really working.

However.. a rough but straitforward method to test if the button is working. Is to remove the back panel and expose the micro button. And push the volume down with your fingernail and the powerbutton to see what happens. Its very easy to remove the back. Many of the One X have very loose glue and will almost fall in two pieces.
[HTC One X] skylirizm:
Never thought of this. Pulled it apart and the flex ribbon cable was disconnected from the mainboard. Problem solved - thanks so much for the help :D
[HTC One X] skylirizm:
Update: Phone is working as usual - can't believe it was the volume rocker flex cable being disconnected from the board. However, I did notice beforehand there was no boot up sound, no vibration etc, once I have put it back together all is good now. Thanks SÜPERUSER!

Do you use a ported version of the Xperia X SystemUI or the stock SystemUI? If you use the stock one, the softkeys might not apply.
