About the new battery saver function, when you have cpu effect turned on, so it will operate at 1.3ghz. Will it automatically overclock when needed, or does it stay locked at 1.3ghz? If it wont overclock, a fix would be nice.

Honestly I can't even make this phone lagg on the battery saver I wouldn't worry about it

Of the 1.5 s4 in the One X... I have my incredible 4g overclocked to 1.5 and it runs smooth as butter and stable. Ran through stress tests and benchmarks and its a go....

If you happen to keep running this for a full day, would you mind reporting back how much the overclock affects the battery life? Thanks a lot for this, it's great news!

depending on usage, I imagine it would be minimal. I assume the CPU underclocks itself when idle and only goes up to 1.5 during heavy usage like playing a game or maybe launching an app. so if you aren't doing this most of the time, then I would imagine the power usage would be pretty much the same. I'd be more interested in how much hotter the phone gets when playing a game.

I will let you know about that as well... So far its running the same... No extra heat to report

Hmm... That is a little bit more of an effect than I expected.
Of course, we will probably be able to minimize the effect overclocking has on battery life by installing custom kernels (once we have them) with more battery efficient CPU governors. As far as I know, the default CPU governor for Android is still ondemand, which scales up to the maximum frequency very easily. Something like smartassv2 or lazy would probably do a better job.

Is there an app that allows to turn off lets say 2 or 3 cores when you need to save on battery life?
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
Your CPU governor should normally take care of this automagically.
You could try to change the setting to something more 'conservative' at least, if your phone is rooted
So how is battery life on custom roms stacking up to the stock battery life? I'm on rootbox and it feels like I get significantly less stand by time.
Sent from my Optimus G using xda app-developers app
I get significantly more on rootbox. Check your clock speed. Many people get it so its stuck at a minimum off 1024mhz or whatever. Use faux clock and turn off mpdecision . That will allow you to drop your minimum clock to a much lower setting.
I can't stress enough how well greenify from the market works. That and make sure you have fast dormancy disabled.

Not convinced Greenify helps much, if at all. I had installed, but removed it a while back.
On Root box using the modded 192 kernel, uc to 1350.

using rooted Stock ATT JB gets me almost 5 hrs of Screen time in just under 18 hrs ... thats very impressive for me ... and even my battery drops to hardly 1-2% in standby if my data/wifi are off !!
I'm running the HouCha kernels and battery has been pretty good. I'm at 14hrs w/ 31% remaining.

I'm on rootbox and I don't seem to be getting the great battery life I was getting on stock with wake lock fixed.
Both time for having the screen on and standby seem worse. Can't say how much worse just yet as my use fluctuates daily.

I think they're both great you can't go wrong with either kernel. It's like choosing a lamborgini or ferrari, they're both awesome but it truly comes down to preference.
I think I got better battery with faux 31 but I under clocked and undervolted so I can't do a fair battery life test.

I've noticed better battery life as well; not majorly, but noticeably. Although I feel it also has a little perfomance drop. Could just be me, though.

Sorry for a question within a question, but what does undervolting/overvolting do? I've only ever tampered with MHz frequencies.

Don't worry.
Undervolting is basically adjusting the voltages so the cpu uses less voltage aka electricity. It helps a little but it can make your phone unstable so watch out. Of you undervolt use the system tuner app on the market. You should definitely under clock if you want to save power too. When you undervolt be sure to underclock, and don't do it too low or your phone might freeze! That's why your shouldn't go so extreme on it.
Overvolting is basically adding more voltage to the cpu. There is no point in doing it for our amazes to be honest. It is already a battery hog. I guess it can help if you want to over clock a lot but there is absolutely no point in doing that.
In older legacy phones if you wanted to over clock because the cpu would be so weak, like 600mhz then you would have to overvolt to over clock to like 1ghz if you were lucky. Our devices are 1.5 ghz dual core and sense isn't THAT bad. There's no point in doing overvolt in this phone though.
PS, check out my rom in the development section.

I just saw it in Venom Tweaks and was curious. The most I underclock to is 1 GHz; cuts down the CPU maximum by a third and doesn't hinder performance to much. What voltage would you recommend at that clock speed?
P.S. I have I plan on flashing it to try it out when I get WiFi access. Trying to cut down data usage since I don't have WiFi at home.

1ghz is perfect. As for voltage it really varies but I subtract 75 or 50 mv from all voltages.
PS. Oh nice, hope you get wifi soon then.

Hi, I've been usin hox+ for 1 month now but I have a huge problem. I'm using stock rooted rom 4.2.2 and with elitekernel.
When the phone battery is on the %90 or %80 or some times at %40 the phone shutsdown and when I try to turn on it becomes %0 or %10 at the battery.
So i thought it caues because of my old kernel ( Speedy ) and I've flashed a new one ( eliteKernel ) . I tried installing different rom and see what happens. Still no change...
Some times it never happens but it normally happens a lot. maybe twice a day.. ıf any one had this kind of issue please let me know and if you have a solution please share with us. :victory:
Wait, you charge your phone (up to 100% of course), leave it sleeping and it shutdowns even twice a day?
There is a known bug with HOX+ with the battery level after the 4.2 update, but it's not that harmful as you described.

Exactly that happens randomly. No idea what is the problem is. I will change the battery in a week and if anything changes i will post here

Do I see it right? The screen is on all the time? Why don't you simply charge your phone and leave it dreaming...
Have you checked if your phone goes into deep sleep with e.g. Wakelock detector tool?
Nope the screen is not on all time. I use it as a normal user. I dont know why doed it shows like that. I disabled the deep sleep because it disables the mobile network when the screen off.

Are you sure? Without deep sleep it drains your battery very fast. Re-enable it. Don't worry about mobile network. While your phone is in deep sleep, it will wake up from time to time, connect with the internet to check for new activities, disconnect and go back sleep.
Plus, deep sleep is something all smartphones users want . You are the first one whom I've met, which doesn't want deep sleep .
Reenabled the deep sleep and still the same. Dies at %40

Wakelock detector?
Everything works fine. I ordered a new battery butbi wont be able to change it because it is 1800mAh and org. One is 2100. Thats why i need to find a bigger size battery.. for now im carryin a powerbank charger with me. 6000 mAh
