Coming from a One x, I have to say no. I've been very pleased with the battery so far.

Been using this since full charge watching directv, plex, vevo, YouTube and battery seems decent. Still no match with my buddy's Note 2. But acceptable.

I had some issues with my battery when I got it. Turns out the stock clock/weather thing on the lock screen couldn't get a lock on my position (just kept saying "current location"), and would run GPS for 10 seconds whenever I unlocked my phone. After fiddling with GPS and the weather settings themselves for awhile to no avail, I said F it and just let it happen. Eventually it got a lock and since then battery life has been fine.
Battery is fine for me

Battery has been surprisingly good after the first day. Unplugged over 10 hours with about two hours screen time and at 60%.

It has a non removable battery. How do we swap the battery if it dies?

Buy a new phone.
I started this morning around 75% and got to 8% in about 8 hours of heavy usage. I must have sent a few hundred texts today along with a bunch of snapchats, took a bunch of pictures, web browsing, some Navigation use, an hour or so of Skyping, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Battery saver was on, but I had data running all day, Wifi and LTE per the situation. It actually said that Messaging was the main battery hog at 32%.
What I've taken from it is that if you're going to be using the phone heavily, it doesn't hurt to have a charger.
Where do you guys see how much screen time is used? I don't see it with sense
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Weird, my battery just went from 8% to 32% from being on the charger for a few minutes.
I guess it's not calibrated very accurately yet.

Is the drain from using LTE throughout the day? I did that one day at work and it was down to 10% in 6 hours. Same usage on WiFi the next day and the battery was down to 70%

Bad? You're getting 15h, I wish I'd get 15h, I get 14 if I don't use it at all, 12h in average.
I still love my OneX+, best device I've had, it is fast as hell, 64gb finally allowed me to retire my iPod, gorgeous screen, great look and feel, plus sense is quite useful for me, what else can I ask for? Better battery lifr? I guess it is only a tad better than in my previous OneX but I have accepted smartphones have this kind of battery life in general.

No the battery is fine I was just reading all the people who complain about there battery mine does just fine the same as my galaxy s3 did. Only difference I noticed is my s3 dropped 1% an hour and this phone drops 2%

just ensure you charged the phone via wall socket and you will see and increase in battery life.Moderate use takes me two days to drain the battery. Wifi and LTE or 3G drains a lot of battery

Mine got 100 % yesterday at 8pm, over night in flight mode, some mailing and 1 hour of music via bluetooth, now (18 hours later) it is on 90 % :good:
Nothing to complain about!
PS Sure I can drain the battery to zero in a few hours with full power use That's the same on notebooks: with moderate office use you get 6 to 8 hours, with full power it's empty in 1.5 hours...
Oh wow this battery is so bad!

Well lucky me I guess. I turned on my wifi all the time but managed to get the whole day or more.
I never turned off my wifi except if I'm going outside.
Without whatsapp installed, my battery life lasts 2x longer.

on and off wifi usage, viber, 9gag, few calls and still i got 18% on single charge running for 2days and 4hours. after that it went upto 2days 10hrs at 4% at which i put to charge again.
i m not using any apps to get more battery. my theory is if you keep the ram cleaned with the provided task manager in between, you can get some more. as for display brightness it keep in manual mode, cos when you have to keep the sensor running and the screen suddenly gaining brightness on and off it will take some juice outta of your battery. plus not much of a gamer on mobile.
Something went wrong.
Flashing ROMs, testing mods, testing ROMs, wiping, backup-ing, recovering, 15 minutes in fastboot. A lot of use, WiFi always on.

battery life is ok but not amazing
standby of this phone is pretty amazing
Must say battery of the DX is quite amazing.
According to the pics i have seen there can be much more squeezed out of the battery.
Running a beta of Elegancia (far from ready) with a tweaked kernel and battery improvement inside the rom...
Charged it before sleep and didn't shut it down, I usualy shut it down to save battery when asleep, pretty good stand by, only lasts 5 hours when using.

My legit and the best battery life so far. Usage: downloaded a lot of games total 400+mb ish, whatsapp a lot, gaming for 1 hour, music for 2 hours, 15 mins browsing the web, I just preferred to browse on my pc anyway, and standby deepsleep for 12 hours.
I'm still impressed.
Oh also I froze all the apps that prevents deepsleep such as google+ and google maps.

"damn u HTC u ****ed me on battery with tbolt and now the dna is slightly better.

there's already like 3 other battery threads. go in there and read up on peoples settings rather than start your own where you just complain about it, while the rest of us are getting along fine.

Anyone else using it? I've used it since OG Droid, and it's always the first app installed on any phone I get. It claims to be giving me 2.01x battery life, and with any other phone I believed it but I'm seeing people post 2 days no charge and I get about 1.25 days with very heavy use, unless I'm at work (12hr shifts 4 days a week). Thoughts? Some people claim it's junk, and I'm not so sure with a battery as big as ours we need it, or if there is a better alternative? I mean we already have a Battery Saving Mode...

I personally don't think it's needed on this phone because how long the battery already lasts and I like my smartphone to stay smart. But on my lg spectrum I used deep sleep battery saver, it was pretty good.
Also on a side note time up isn't as important as screen time. I could get days if I didn't use the phone, but if you are always on it 12 hours is pretty good
Sent from my SCH-I605 (AKA NOTE 2)
I think battery saving apps are obsolete now because phone's are becoming more battery efficient and batteries are becoming larger (Mah). I don't see any need for a battery saving app anymore especially with this phone. Just uninstall it and some more RAM

Download GSam to see whats draining the battery down. When I used my Amaze I constantly got a good 12hrs with 3hrs screen time. Once you figure it out youll need to kill whats draining it.
Btw. What rom are you using?

This guy used all the roms he could get his hands on, and all of them, according to him, had bad battery life.
He doesn't understand his amaze or his battery is faulty, and blames the Rom every time he has bad battery life. He needs to get an iphone or Windows Phone because I doubt he understands Android.
Ah.. didn't even notice who the op was..
I'm not blaming the roms I'm blaming my bad choice of a phone yes I'm blaming myself mainly

Then you need to get a new battery because you clearly have a faulty one. You are the only person on here with a 1 hour battery while everyone else gets 24 on light use.
For what it's worth, this phone seems to eat batteries. I've been through 3, and its not even my daily driver anymore. The processor gets extremely warm, and that in turn gets the battery warmed up too. You can find batteries fairly cheap on Amazon but be careful about which ones you buy.

These guys are a bit unfair with you but you dont help it by saying lol so much. If you get battery like that on fourth bar infusion as well then its definitely your battery. Its not just you with bad battery. Generally the amaze has decent but not good battery life.

Yeah, you should expect battery life on par with a first generation LTE device. If you're going to play on it a lot I would advise a second battery and a charger to keep you going. That's what I had to do when it was my daily. A second battery went with me wherever I was going, no questions asked.

I had pretty decent battery life when I had the Amaze. As everyone said, it's probably your battery.
I had battery issues as well with the amaze. Even tried the Anker battery with no luck. I've since switched to the HTC One S because of this and am much happier. Good luck with your phone
I'm glad to see someone saying something positive about the One S... I didn't have much good to say about mine the two weeks I had two separate handsets.

I think it comes down to expectation. I was able to play Inotia 4 for about 6-8 hours in airplane mode while flying.
However, in my home area the signal strength is weak. If I have 4G on, I lose about half of my battery power in about an hour.
(The battery is about 1 year old by now.) I bought a new Anker battery from Amazon. Reportedly it works well with the Amaze.
I'll have to test it out. Though I think in my area the battery life is not going to be too great due to weak signal...
It is ironically much better when I'm traveling.
install greenify from playstore (ensure you have supersu and root first) and you will be fine. my year old dead battery became alive again. also you can use anker battery, combined with greenify the phone can last day and half or more.

Thats crazy.. But the amaze with constant use for me last about 2-3 hours..(just about NONSTOP use). Does seem to drain fast but for the most part theres always somewhere to charge it or your best bet is to just get a second battery like some people have stated. I Love the amaze, Have Energy rom and everything is GREAT for the most part.. battery does go fairly quick though... Not horrible at the same time. But im on my phone alot
