"I absolutely f***ing love this phone!!"...top 3 reasons u love,and/or hate your MT4G
Here are mine:
- fast
- sense/no sense, 100% customizible out of the box
-free official wireless tethering, at pretty good speeds here in NYC.
And only one thing I hate, now that my therd one seems to be fully operating as advertised, is that no matter what I do, the damn S- off won't stick.

well this worked for me 3x http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHrtVzlsA_s

this was the last one i tried. still a no.
i wander what it is that i do wrong, cuz nothin seems to work?

I love everything about this phone.
It's fast and runs very smoothly.
I also love the wifi tethering.
What I don't like is the bloatware! ewwww

Wireless tethering is free?

got that right son... official & free!!!

Three favorite things:
1. WiFi Calling - A must for my tiny, ****ty hometown where only VZW gets signal! And also the basements on campus.
2. Iced Glacier - After de-sensing this ROM it flies! So stable and ridiculous Quadrant scores! (2700+)
3. All the awesome mods in the Themes section - Currently running with a personally altered version of Pack's animated GYR Android battery and status icons, Diablo 2's font, also my Android 2.2 BIOS boot screen and one of the myTouch 4G splash screens I made!
This is just some of what can be done with this phone! What is there not to love?! In my opinion, best phone on the market!

de-sensing i guess would be removing traces of htc sense from android..
however, iced glacier is probably the closest to stock rom..which i don't mind really, sense on the mt4g is really neat without the bloats of course

Ya. It takes all the bloat out and refines the ROM for a more refined feel.

The FFC, tried it with tango and it's fun.
The form factor, it's a bar type and its nice and thin.
The speed is fast! Even without OC.
The cons: the screen is pretty much a hit or miss.
Battery life.
Battery life again, that's it. And the mytouch logo on top of the phone.

Lol funny thing is I am on iced glacier right now and I get about 10 hours with light usage and about 6-10 hours depending on how hard I use it. I think I may have aa defective battery cause it stops charging randomly around after an hour and I have to reboot the phone to see the correct value of the battery's status.

Lol again, I've tried it several times and thank God I've made nandroid backups before, it always goes into a bootloop for me.
I'm waiting for my replacement, when that comes (hopefully with a good screen) I'm going to redo everything and put gorillas kernel in there also.

Battery Life after installing GingerBread on Inspire

Anyone who has installed the Gingerbread rom on their Inspire, have you noticed any difference in battery life. This is supposedly the main benefit to the upgrade. I want to wipe the Bloat ware off my system, but not install a rom unless it makes a huge difference. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated...

I am running inspired ace which runs gingerbread and battery life is great.

I too started getting MUCH better battery life with gingerbread. Any non-stock Rom for that matter.
If you want the absolute best in battery life go with gingerbeast ROM...

+1 to inspired ace and much better battery life than stock.

Last time I went battery for awhile; See attached.
Granted 9 hours of that I was asleep as was the phone but the rest was me playing games, reading, downloading apps, browsing listening to music using stereo bluetooth.
Rom is in the Sig.

Gingerbeast does have awesome battery life. I reverted back to RCMix3D only cause I missed it, and I get about 10-18 hours out of my battery on that one.

+1 on the RCMix,, cant say its much longer,, but it is good for a 8 hr wrk day..

+1 for inspired ace rom - battery is great and so is the performance increase!

That is word for word what I do...
And it is amazing. I highly recommend this.

gingerbeast has been ridiculously awesome for me on battery life. with moderate to heavy use, i get 12-18 hours of use a day

I have used HoneySense and LeeDroid, I have found that LeeDroid's kernel MUCH better than both HoneySense and the stock when it comes to battery life. In the end, it all depends on what you want, when you want alot of bells and whistles on all the time, your battery life will suffer, if you are more minimalist, you battery life will be much better

So far I've been one of those 'bells and whistles' people, and even on VU1.27 which I assume is pretty efficient I only get 8-9hrs. Surprising the biggest user has been voice calls, which will suck the battery dry in 2-3hrs if you have a couple long conversations.

I have noticed once the Dialer is used, it seems to keep eating battery if I don't restart. I'm not sure if this is the ROM or android in general though...

Hi.
I think that if you want so good batterylife as possible, it all depends on what ROM and kernel you are using together.
In my opinion Matr1x and GlaDOS 2.9 are probably the best, and you should try one of them, or why not try one for a week, then try the other and then deside.

No, just kidding, but it is with a c. I think you're totally right! I prefer Matr1x, but GlaDOS belongs to one of the best kernels as well!

I'm very surprised at this, given Pete's propensity to tweak the baked in kernel dramatically to improve both performance and battery life. I'm getting great results of both using his kernel.
Saying that, Steve Garon's plays very nicely with Pete's ROM. Either leave ondemand and deadline scheduler.
Matr1x is also very good. Same there, or use lazy for decent battery life.
As for what settings. It totally depends what you have going. If you got 25 different news widgets sucking data like there's no tomorrow, then yes, you;re going to see crappy battery life. Tell us what you;ve got going on and we'll try and help.

Well I just turned sync off most Google stuff aside from Gmail and twitter sync is off and other stuff I am not all sure what is and isn't off or on
I can almost sit back and watch my battery tick down ward
Is there like maybe an extended battery aside from the one in box can buy to assist n more juice

Battery Life test Results

I was pretty pleased with my results here, so I thought I'd share. This is done with both OC and UV and making use of the the 3500mah batt and with moderate/normal use.

I can get that on stock battery, you must play some games and leave your phone on full brightness at all times or something.

No, I play one game in particular, and I spend more time on the web on my phone than most people do on their computer. I could get that on a stock battery too, if I never actually used my phone Before the the changes I made, I was getting significantly less life. Especially with OC.

It looks like the moment you turn your screen on your battery life plummets.

Thats from Oc'ing to 1560 lol

It's more useful to post test results on a standard battery and standard voltages and clock speeds so others can compare. I've gotten 3 days on stock CM7 nightly before, it really depends on how much one uses their phone. The biggest clue to how a ROM or kernel affects battery is to look at the idle drain (maybe with data off too). It should be flat or with < 0.5%/hr drain.

Where'd you get the 3500 Mah battery you are using? I've been trying to find a decent maker for one.

Best battery life opinion

I know its standard to protocol to answer these type of questions with read and flash em and decide which is best. Problem is that its not for me, its for my girlfriend who is not very tech savey to say the least. She is complaining of battery life so I was wondering if there was a rom that was/is perfectly stable with good battery life. Performance isn't an issue as neither is eye candy or tweaks. She is pretty much out of the box type of person. She left ios because of the bigger screen and other functions ios doesnt have, but for the most part she is typical iphone user. I just want her to get better battery life.

HTC one x you press the capacitive button to the right of home then you swipe up on the app to quit it.Now If you want to permanately remove bloatware/other processes, you have to root the phone ...although juice defender ult is a great app..the one x battery is great for me..even when I was on stock..maybe turn off fastboot( in power settings) turn off all the sound, Screen brightness low, touch settings(vibrate when keys touched..etc).check push notifications manually.. believe me android is more productive in battery life then IOS. Hope I helped. A thanks would be appreciated

Try paranoid android 2.54 with stock kernel, gives me the most battery on screen usage with 4-5 hours and 14 hours standby.
I also have screen brightness set to auto and auto sync for gmail, whatsapp, and twitter. I switched from cleanrom 5 and I'm loving this one.
I have tried most ROMs including cm10, kingkang ROM, etc

Would you say aosp Roms are more battery. Efficient than sense?

Also for each Rom do we have to also flash the kernal seperately using the all in one tool kit by hasoon?

CleanROM has the best battery life for me. It's also extremely stable.

You need a rooted sense ROM. Debloated. Root it so you can flash a kernel that has some has undervolt applied like elemental 2.0.

Yeah sense ROMs for me were okay for battery but the PA 2.54 has actually proven to be better for me at least. Try them all and see what works best for reliability and such, I spent 3-4 weeks discovering what I liked most

From what I've seen on the dev forums, it seems like the majority of people have not had a lot of luck with battery life while using CM10 (just my perception, though. I'm on CleanRom). I definitely think a good kernel will go a long way (especially if you underclock things), but the ROM will play a part if a lot of software has to be running all the time to support ROM features.

Kernal has more to do with battery life hence the reason people are not getting amazing battery life on aosp roms for our phone right now. Kernal is still a WIP. I am hoping we see jelly bean sense roms soon, might give the best of both worlds.

Hey guys, I've recently bought a AT&T HTC One X. This is my first smartphone, and it is fully stocked, locked bootloader and no root, android 4.0.4 and software version 2.20.502.7, really like the phone. However, I am not really impressed with the battery life. I would usually charge it over night for around 8 hours, take it off in the morning at around 08:00, take it to school, casually check facebook/gmail, maybe watch one or two videos and by the time I get home at around 15:30, the battery would be at around 15%. I was wondering whether this is normal and if there is any point of my rooting the device and flashing any custom roms?
I have disabled all the AT&T bloatware, decreased my screen brightness to around 25%, no live wallpapers, disabled auto syncing, wifi and mobile data mobile switched on only when I use it, only have a weather/clock widget and a couple of games. So I have been researching about rooting and customer roms for about a month now, and found out that some members have amazing battery life times with Cleanroms and custom kernels, so I was wondering whether the latest 5.1 Cleanrom with a Beastmode kernel 4.4 would cause any damage to my phone and whether any of you guys are using it?
Thanks for your time!
