Hey fellow dx users how is the battery backup of your device?
Mine seems to be pretty ****ed up.
It gives me only four five hours. On intense WiFi usage.

I guess thats one of the causes give juice defender a try
I have my WiFi turned on 24/7 checking 2 mail accounts + facebook and google+ and you can see the stats below. I heard a good feedback about juice defender too :fingers-crossed:

Actually. I played games and whatsapp, also installed many apps. Watched music videos on YouTube.
Gives 4-6 hours only.
And yes, I installed juice defender. Nice app, does not show a marginal difference though.
Thanks.

My battery conditions is also very poor.It lasts for only 5 hours when I have turned off auto sync,internt,wifi,bluetooth,3g,lowest brightness.I played these fr 1 hour and 20 min phone call.Pathetic condition. Also the battery get heated up a lot..I am goin to try out the doubling the battery trick told ages ago in xda. if it fails,I am going to the service center,
Any one got better advices?
from Engadget
'As for the battery, with a 1,650mAh cell under the hood, and some potential savings to be made from the smaller screen, it managed a reasonable six hours and 33 minutes in our standard video rundown test (WiFi on, but not connected, and brightness fixed at 50 percent). In real-world use, we'd get well into the following day before we'd start getting nervous about finding a power point. If you're the sort that switches off overnight, then it might even last a full two days with moderate use.'
It's pretty strange. Without any WiFi or data activated, I get juice upto one and half a day max. With music gaming texting and taking few pictures.
I wonder how reviews stated the battery is good compared to other HTC devices.

Wow dude. How did your Des X screen usage only 19%????
Look at mine. Sometimes 59% and sometimes its 70+%!!! I'm confused. I'm using apex launcher pro with only only 3 homescreens and widgets. Frozen sense. I also set the brightness really low.
How did you do it?
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda app-developers app
I found the light sensor really useful - it's keeping the brightness low when the setting is on auto plus because of the proximity sensor while I'm talking the screen is off. I saw it just once spending 25% of energy after heavy gaming. I have setcpu installed which is helping the battery life while I'm not playing. See my current stats
btw I'm using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35436322&postcount=17 if that matters.

Our screen is not that small - how many hours your screen was on during this 70% drain? Mine was around 3 hours within last discharge cycle. My point is that if you have your screen on 5-6+ hours/day 70% drain could be reasonable its 4" screen with 1,650 mAh battery anyway...

U know why his screen use is low? Its because he has many other apps running
No matter what you do just add up all the battery use and you'll get 100%
SO for him his battery is being used up by wifi, phone idle, stanby and other things so yours is better
Hit thanks if i helped you

Most of the time I have SetCPU configured with 245MHz min - 600MHz max - when I'm expecting more performance e.g. when I'll play a heavy game or something I'm changing the max frequency to 1008 MHz. The JuiceDefender is configured to enable the WiFi every 5 mins while the phone is locked, and to stop all connections (including the mobile network) at night. Also I found that NOT using an auto-task killer the phone is acting faster and consuming less juice.
BTW whats the difference between the stock auto brightness and this Velis application?

3 hours of on screen is why your battery drained. Doubtful it's removing system apps.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I've seen really varied battery life. The screen is the number one battery drain on our phones so I use my brightness as low as I can get away with. Monitor your battery life day to day and see if screen percent battery usage even when used for 3-5 hours should start to show closer to show 20-30% of your battery usage vs the likely 50% or higher you may be seeing now. I use a third party app to lower brightness even below our normal GS3 brightness when I know I'll be surfing or using the phone an extended period of time.
Common battery conservation knowledge consists of simple things like disabling GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth when possible. Limit or turn off sync when uneeded. Turn off led lit touch buttons if you get used to menu and back where they are. Turn off sprint network optimizer (sprint only) it seems to scan networks too often leading to too much battery discharge for me. Turn location services off if not used often certain ones not GPS effect battery too. Uninstall bloat which you did. Turn options in apps off not to sink.
Check battery usage during screen off and idle and make sure your phone is sleeping. If you have a sleep bug the phone is not shutting down cores and lowering speed while not used leading to multiple hours of battery life lost. I turn off vibrate and haptic feedback off except where I can. If your rooted take control of your cpu and when not needed clock it down yourself. If your browsing you may not need max frequency. 1ghz core or less is good to save power while just casually using the phone.
Just a rant on what I've had success with. No pic but I have had success getting 24 hours between charge with heavy use like 6+ hours screen on if I was really conservative. Most days of heavy use as long as I didn't use a giant overclock I get 9-10 hours between charge.

My favorite brightness widget for quick access and free on play store.
https:// play.google. com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor
The great widget that's free on play store to adjust your brightness lower than current device brightness in a percent form. it can go 0-100% below your lowest brightness level or even below your highest brightness level if you prefer... as its based on your current set device brightness and is accomplished by using a screen overlay I believe. Adds a little lag when enabled but saves you the power when needed.

I might just check this out as well. The built in SGS3 brightness thingy is garbage so I have it set on max *I still get 4hours of screen on for max brightness tho haha*

Okay thank you kindly. I know much less than anyone here. I am new to this world and new to Android.
Those apps are not new brightness control as you have stated. ofirst one is a simple widget to change brightness from home screen so its just a shortcut. The second a screen overlay that doesn't get in the way of using apps and darkens the screen beyond minimum brightness that SG3 or any phone has. If a user does not need lower screen brightness than normal than the above apps are not going to be useful. Thank you for fixing links. I hope I can add to threads and around.
Like you I would love to see an app that creates a custom auto brIghtness function.

Thanks this looks great. that's what I was looking for in first place. Ill give it a try. That's definitely better yet.
A guy commented on app there and said useful info as follows which Ill try out myself just thought it was also interesting.
"On "automatic dynamic" mode- behaves buggy & erratic. USE: "automatic periodic" with updating at 5 sec intervals. Now works well. Set backlight zero to 10. Sample lux/% settings: 10/-55%, 100/10%, 500/35%, max/100%. Try it. Be nice if widget also showed Auto & %." -Heath
Edit: After trying the above app it easily replaces both apps I posted. Thanks jmorton10 for posting this great app.
Edit: After using all the apps. I found Lux can create lag in the touch interface and browsing etc just like the app"Screen Filter" I posted. On screen filter it causes lag when enabled and for some reason Lux also does this to my phone. Once I disabled and restarted the lag was gone again. I don't have to restart phone for Screen Filter just turning it off with a single button press fixes it. Lux has more features and actually makes a custom auto brightness profile. The free version is fairly limited but has enough to still make a fair brightness profile. Given the lag which is likely on just a few handsets is something most of us saving battery can deal with. Between all the apps I guess it depends on what you need. Lux is a top notch software but the free version is fairly limited vs the free brightness widget and screen filter but has no auto-brightness customization. The lag on Lux was not right away and was exactly like the lag in screen filter app so both must have issue in way the below normal brightness is overlayed over the screen. The paid version is likely very in depth.
Thanks for the app suggestion again.
Thanks for the input. I bought the onite 3800 mah extended battery, but im changing it for the qcell, or hyperion.

Do you know what your screen time was like for that usage? I'm considering this phone and the original HOX, and I'd be happy with that if it was 3-4 hours of heavy usage with WiFi on all day, but I'm sort of wary. I'm worried that the 300mAh extra won't make up for the transition from S4 Pro to Tegra 3.

Yup. AFAIK the free version doesn't allow this, but you should buy the pro key anyway so that Titanium Backup continues to be supported and gets better and better. With the pro key, you can back up SMS and MMS.
well your bbs log shows you had no signal for the entire up time basically. and your wifi was only on for about half that time. if your phone is having to search for signal, battery drain is going to happen. if you're in a poor lte coverage area, switch to 3g only.

I was hoping to get a good idea on how the HTC One manages battery life. Day one and so far I've talked for an hour, sent multiple text messages and browse the web for around an hour. I'm still running with about 85 percent battery life which seems awesome. I've noticed there's some options for saving on push to email along with energy saver which is built into the phone. Would some other users report feedback from on their battery life performance??

Can you report do you have power save on from the power options or energy saver.
I know energy saver turns your data off after you idle for more than 15 minutes and the power saver option I have on ( only the display and the cpu settings are on) help. The cpu one throttles your cores to 1.1ghz and the display one lower maximum brightness down.

It finished charging about 45 minutes ago and it's dropped down to 93% in the time off the charger with virtually no screen on time. I hope it just takes a few cycles and that the sudden drop is only part of conditioning.

do notice he had the sleep mode on. which says it turns off data during long periods of idle. i'd have to see how this works with push mail and the such since if data is off how does it push mail?
i have the power saver option on currently though

As long as the screen is off/phone is idle, it doesn't. It will deliver once the device has been woken up.

Although I haven't used it for a long time, JuiceDefender may give you options to turn data on every so often just to grab whatever is new.
i think its ok. with the power saver on it should keep my battery level high enough. hell i havent even tried a full charge usage yet so we'll see how this goes.
thanks for the info though

I use it on my Amaze, and you are correct. I turn my screen on every hour for 5 minutes. The Amaze is ICS, but hopefully my One will work the same.
With heavy use throughout the day, I had 20% over the 10.5 hour work day without any battery saving options aside from smart email delivery. I've also noticed that automatic brightness isn't the best. (figures since I've had auto brightness issues with all if my phones)
In going to use power saver all day (working hours)tomorrow and post results.

Does auto brightness keep your screen unusually bright at all times too? I've pretty much disabled it unless I'm leaving anywhere outside.

It is a lot brighter than it needs to be for sure.

The funny thing is that HTC is getting a lot of praise for their implementation of auto brightness on this phone. Personally, I feel like it's drastically overdoing it.

So far, Auto Brightness is fine and very responsive for me. No complaints. Battery life seems fine so far also.
Auto brightness and turned power saver on at 15 percent. Took some pictures, gamed, watched YouTube, listened to music, and browsed the Web. I basically just used my phone as I normally would while doing nothing special to save the battery.

guys just buy a battery case!
I'm calling it a day. (This ends my first 24hrs and first battery cycle.) I had to reboot earlier after my number ported over but it's been off the charger for almost 12hrs and under heavy use.

my usage (6 hours of me asleep, LOTS of spotify, some video), i love this batt coming over from nexus s.
Battery so far seems GREAT
This is a screenshot of my new HTC ONE. It wasn't charged to 100% more like 86% and with moderate usage. As of this post I am currently at 39% battery. I don't have power save on. I have automatic brightness own, auto sleep. Been on wifi the whole time all features are turned on(sync,gps,etc..). I love it so far no hardware issues perfect!!
Can we get a consensus on whether battery life is better or worse, for those who have updated to Jelly Bean?
From my own experience, I'd say it's dramatically worse. After updating and using it for a week, I noticed the battery does drain a bit quicker than usual. And last night, i thought to myself, no big deal, I'll just factory reset, maybe that'd help.
Well, that was a bad move, strangely. After factory resetting and setting up my phone and apps, I noticed I had zapped 25% in just under 2 hours. No heavy WiFi usage either, just zipping around the phone setting preferences and just installing like 5 apps.
No such thing, battery performance depends on individual usage. I'd suggest using BetterBatteryStats to determine which apps may be causing wakelocks, and Greenify which hibernates apps of your choice to prevent them from running background services.
I'm not outright saying JB drains battery more than ICS, I'm saying it does for me, under the same usage. What I am wondering if others find JB has increased or decreased or not changed their battery life.
In my case, battery life has improved a lot. Using DX the same as before and now it lasts for 2 days where on ICS i was charging it every night.

Mine lasts only 9 hours while 2 days in ics.

Improved battery life for me also. With moderate use two days nicely. Yesterday almost every hour some browsing and theming, all time wifi and after twenty hours still fifty percent. ( I have only a little number of background apps, like launcher, whatsapp and notification toggles)

i get atleast 12 hours of usage no.matter what on jb i got a max of 21 hrs usage for me battery life has improved but by a minor scale nothing too impressive actually
however what i really appreciate is when it comes to gaming i ran nfs most wanted for 2 hrs and some other games for another 2 hrs still got 4 hrs of on screen time

In my opinion the battery life is preatty much the same. I think this difference may appears due to the apps installed.
Longer battery life for usage mainly text and social, plus light browsing.
Build it power saving is good enough. Can stand for two days.
For me there is no change in battery life. However, I'm new with my HTC desire x(one month), my usage time last maximum 4.5hrs if I use continuously, browsing, play store, etc. but if I use my phone more less, like picking call, once a day checking play store, I get usage time around 2 hrs. But the battery life in total including idle time, it's 2day. Not sure if its normal. Can anyone give me some tips or help?
Btw, my wifi is always on, but not using continuously. Disabled all auto sync. I want to keep in wifi for viber and whatsapp and my favourite HTC clock and weather widget. Do u think this wil drain my battery in idle mode?
I tried to switch off wifi while going to sleep night. Approx 8hours when wifi off, idle mode, only 1% was discharged from battery. Not bad for idle mode. But usage consumption is horrible. Just going through some app menu and setting, not applying any changes, within 4 minutes it takes 1% of battery power. Is this normal for everyone? I think this is called as poor battery life for desire x. Now if I play a game or chat, message it might be worse. My brightness was set to auto and most of the time I prefer to keep it zero brightness. Because the auto brightness is not going to its minimum level of brightness even in dark night situations.

it will but only minimal i got 8 hrs of on screen continous wifi usage so idle mode is no issue since you have already disabled auto sync...
auto sync is actually the battery hog in my perspective....

You mean you got 8 hours of usage time? Screen being on? That's something great battery then.. How is it possible? I get maximum 4.5 hours.

Yes I turned off the auto brightness and set the brightness level completely down to zero. I use the power widget to do this task with a click. Instead of going to setting>display etc..

I have disabled quite a lot of bloatware apps I don't use social networking apps sound hound and I don't remember rest so I pretty much have 175 mb + ram I want for smooth gaming I played nfs asphalt 7 subway surf a lot got about 8 hrs battery life but was gaming like an hour on each game with some breaks to check on email and browsing but my battery life has always been great
I think your mobile is better than desire x then. Because its not about apps for me. Whenever the screen is on battery drains faster. Sometimes I only attend some calls and SMS, then battery stays 2 days but the usage time is 2 hours. If I use continuously, then I get max 4.5 hours.
