Hello
I have the device and out of power very quickly
I load the phone to 100 percent
And after an hour I was at 50 percent and a very hot phone
The heat of the phone after an hour is 42 degrees
How can I fix it?
when you go into the battery monitor inside the settings menu does it give any indication what app / component is sucking on the battery?
(the high temperature is a byproduct of the fast battery-drain)
where is the battery monitor
i need to download it from the market?
no, it's a built-in feature. are you using the legend with a htc stock rom? - i think it's accesible via settings > about > battery > battery use (in custom roms the wording might be a little different)...
DISPLAY 96%
dialer 4%
this is the battery use

Do you have a time out set to turn the screen off when you not using your phone? Or does your screen stay on all the time?
What your battery usage is reporting is that your screen is on all the time.

Thank's for reply...is it normal??
if can..i want to extend the battery life..any suggestion for apps??thank's...
If you wanna extend the battery life you should uninstall all apps that can possibly keep the phone awake. more apps needing CPU = less battery life.
also lower the display lighting if you have high battery use of it.

Yes, it's normal
Turning down the brightness will of course help.
Normal seem to be about 12-40 hours. Some apps are badly behaved, others just take a lot of power. It seems there might be a few OS bugs which come and go depending on exactly how you use the phone - some ROMS/kernels seem to help but it is difficult to be specific. Check the BetterBatteryStats thread for some ideas on debugging.
18 hours is decent, it all depends on how you use the phone.
If for 10 hours your phone's screen was on, then ofc this is amazing.

What is your brightness setting? When you are in the battery usage page, click on Display and tell us how many hours the display was on.
You should also check if your phone is on standby mode properly. When you press the awake button and the phone awoken instantly, then you need to restart the phone until it doesn't (e.g. 1-2 second delay is good). I had this problem before and it ate my battery like crazy.
Sleepy cat: my brightness setting is auto & already running for 1hr 38m...since i charge..last night..and the display percentage is 55%...how to reduce it??..
i already reduce my brightness.....
How to reduce battery use by display: Dont use it.
Simply flash the LeoMar75 2.4 RevolutioN Rom. The best rom!!!

I personally found the SolarFlare rom much better compared to many other roms. Have the longest battery life on that.
Use auto brightness, use running services to close what programs/services you don't need(for example I always close skype, yahoo messager, update software, out of milk etc...depends on what you have installed on it and what you don't need ) use static wallpaper and most important charge your phone OFF.

He's right. It's all about programs which are using your mobile data connection.
Thnk's all..really appreciate it...but i have doubt for auto brightness...i read some forum that using the auto is increased the battry usage??is it true??confius...lol..
18 hrs is not normal.....at least for me. stock rom with speedmod kernel.
is there any app which can log the reached battery percentage chronological?
means if battery reachs ie. 65% -> it should show the time when that happened.
for each percentage -> show a time when it dropped.
any idea?

There is a great app for that and I use it too - Battery Monitor Widget Pro. It should be available on Google Play.
Battery says its about on 6% juice and the phones turn off (first of all that should not be hapening). However bigger problem is that after it turns off, i turn it again and battery jumps to ~32 procentage. So pretty much I have to do it every time. WTF is that ? I heared a lot of users have this problem. so hardware or software issue ?
also battery gets stuck on 100% after charge. maybe gdr3 will fix it ?
Battery was ok for few days, but this night after charge battery overnight went from 100% to 77% (in about 7 hours) in stand by mode. Obviously thats not right so I did a restart and battery back up to 100%. Seriously wtf is that?
Every time after a charge I have to restart a phone to have a good battery life. How to fix it ?
is possible firmware release in your phone have bug... same model of Lumia dont have same firmwares... almost every operator or region release have different firmware...
also for battery saving use these tips:
turn off unnecessary background tasks (in settings - applications - background tasks)
limit number of Live tiles on start screen which uses internet
use simple picture for lock screen (dont use live lock screens)
dont use battery status applications (uninstall it completely)
dont use or limit some option for Glance screen
turn off or increase mail checking time

Are you running WAZE during your phone charging?
WAZE will drain battery so fast that isn't possible to charge simultaneously.
If in charge mode WAZE can damage your battery.

So probably nothing I can do, just wait for new firmware if thats a problem I guess.

No waze. Pretty much a stock phone.
Hello geeks,
I prostrate before ur dedication of sharing knowledge , am not hardccore android geek, am just a server admin..recently i bought HTC One x Plus..and its battery drains faster...please point me in right directin how to fix it , do u guys know any custom rom to increase battery life , and i havent root my phone yet..thanks in advance
First of all, if you have any software running in the background, no matter what ROM you use, the battery life will always be poor.
Let's go with this steps.
1. Restart your phone.
2. Download from google play Wakelock Detector.
3. (optionally) an app which shows you CPU usage like System Monitor.
4. Run Wakelock detector. At the top of it, there is a green/red bar. Red means there is something in the background running and eats your battery.
5. Turn off the screen for an hour (don't use your phone) and check Wakelock. Is the whole bar red? How much active percent do you have?

Right now am runing the tests as per ur advice bro...ll post the scrrenshot after an hour
I am unable to get the Battery Charge Limit app to work on the TMOBILE variant of this device. The app allows you to set start/stop charging %, which helps prolong battery state.
Does anyone know where the control file is located? I tried searching in /sys/class/* but couldn't find anything like chg_enabled or something similiar.
For OP9Pro, the file is located here: /sys/class/oplus_chg/usb/chg_enable
For OPN200, I don't know
Doing a
find . 2>/dev/null | grep charg
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
gave me
/sys/devices/virtual/oplus_chg/battery/mmi_charging_enable
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Writing 0 to this file disables charging and writing 1 enables charging. Note that the charging icon shows that the battery is charging if the device is plugged in even if the file has a 0, but checking with a battery app will show that charging is disabled.
I also noticed that the battery charge limit app doesn't work if you start the app when the battery is already above the maximum limit, it only works if you start the app with the battery at or above the limit you set in the app.
Also I didn't realize this but you can also use ACC and run
acc -p

to find likely control files. useful to know for switching to a new device and trying to find a control file.

It seems @towardsdawn is spot on.
I configured Battery Charge Limit (you can find in Playstore) to use the charge control file located here:
Code:
/sys/class/oplus_chg/battery/mmi_charging_enable
And it seems to work. If the current battery % is HIGHER than the STOP CHARGE %, then the Battery Charge Limit application will say DISCHARGING but battery icons from homescreen and lockscreen will indicate it's charging. Even though battery icon from homescreen and lockscreen says it's charging, I did not see battery % increase.
If you charge the phone when it's BELOW the STOP CHARGE %, then the Battery Charge Limit application will say it's charging and the battery % will increase after some time until it reaches STOP CHARGE %.
Overall, it seems to work, it's just the battery charging status from Battery Charge Limit app and phone icons are not aligned. One thing I do notice is if current % is ABOVE the STOP CHARGE %, then it will stay at that % while plugged in.
just a heads up, make sure to disable battery saver as well as advanced battery optimizations when charging, these modes will kill the Battery Charge Limit app even if you have it set to "Don't optimize". had some issues getting it to work overnight and doing this worked for me.
a little ironic isn't it
looks like I spoke too soon, I fiddled around with the settings and still can't get it to work consistently. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I switched to ACCA and that works much better.

Battery Charge Limit is one of my fav apps.
I thought that you have to have root to use this app, no?
Could you provide a beginner's guide on your method? Noobs need it!

Here is a quick guide to using ACCA which I find to work much more consistently on the Nord N200 than Battery Charge Limit:
Unlock bootloader (see this thread, I used the debloat script. make sure to remove the line that gets rid of Gboard)
Root your phone with Magisk (see this thread)
Visit this website to download F-droid, then in the F-droid client download ACCA. ACCA will say installation failed for some reason, but it still works
Edit the default profile under the Profiles tab.
Under Capacity Control edit Charging switch.
Click Add Charging Switch.
Type in
Code:
/sys/class/oplus_chg/battery/mmi_charging_enable
for charging switch
Type in 1 for On value and 0 for Off value. Click ok.
Tap on the new charging switch. Click Test charging switch with the charger plugged in. It should popup saying the switch works, if it doesn't then you'll have to troubleshoot that.
Click Save.
Edit the other settings to what you want, then click the save icon in the top right.
Tap on the default profile to switch to it.
You may or may not need to do this, but under android battery settings I disabled battery optimization for ACCA and I also turned off all of the advanced optimization settings.

Seems I am running into same issue - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't with Battery Charge Limit. I'll check out ACCA.
@clu1688 - you should check out the post above mine with ACCA. It seems Battery Charge Limit app doesn't work consistently.
