horibble battery life - HTC One S

So I've updated my phone to the latest trickdroid 6.2.0 for the TMOUS version, and using it for the psat 3 days, I've realized how bad the battery life is. I only turn on my data when I need it, maybe 20-30min max per day. I text occasionally, and by 6pm in the evening, it needs another charge from the morning. ATM it is 36%, with 11hours on battery, which is pretty bad, screen is at 51%, cell standby 23%. I mean I'm not even using the phone much. What can I do to fix this, I also have Juice Defender installed and it seems without it, my battery would be dead within 6 hours.

That's decent for this phone. Try CM10 and see if you make it to lunch.

Turn off sync and GPS and leave everything else like you found it. I hit 6.5 hours of screen time and 16 hours of on time today.

6.5hrs screen time is amazing. I never had that, only 4hrs and a bit more the longest. I am on eu stock 4.0.3.
What's OP's on screen time? It's hard to judge only by standby time but screen time does give a good indication.

With eleven hours on battery and a little over half of that being screen time I'm going to say it's right around five hours.

There's a widget that comes on one of the home screens that has 5 toggles. The one that looks like two arrows going in a circle is sync.
You can also find the On/Off switch under:
Settings - Accounts & Sync

I currenlty own a T Mobile USA branded One S (black in color) and one of the very first things I noticed was, the battery life was significantly less than my international One X. On average, I would have close to 15 hours with my One X (approx 4 hours of screen on time). My One S gets about half of that. I've been able to drain the battery (completely depleted from 100% down to 10%) in about 6 hours with the same exact usage pattern as my One X.
Weather, Twitter, FB updating every hour, email (2 accounts) every 15 mins, lot's of YouTube, Web browsing, texting quite frequently. I was actually surprised with my One S. On average, I get nearly 10 hours (give or take an hour) with approx 2 hours of screen on time.
Interesting to compare and see what other's are experiencing.
Best.

i have about 5 hrs of screen time and my phone running for almost 37 hrs. with 1 hr temple run, 2hrs music, 40-50 msgs and 30mins wifi ...!! seems pretty ok to me !

Wow! Very nice...
Custom rom or?

I have nice battery life on stock and all custom ROM. OP: have you researched what a wake lock is and how to interpret the battery info in settings? Do you have the S4 or S3 One S?
As to the difference compared to One X, the One S will fare much worse when displaying white and bright colors because of the AMOLED, but besides that in theory be a bit better all round.
Edit: I see you have the TMOUS so I assume S4. Also 21% seems high for cell standby, are you in a bad coverage location?

Over night Standby Loss= 0%, some other nights I get about 4% loss, I don't know why!
Average day I get 24 hours before needing a charge, or extra one half a day, depending on the use.
I have :
WIFI off, I turn it on when I need that and I do that a lot.
GPS off.
Auto Brightness.
Sync on.
Playing Cut the rope for a while.
Taking some 2D/3D videos and pictures.
Yehaww
I get about 7-8 hours but I'm ALWAYS on my phone. Always.... normal for me
I would say I get what I need.
I have the phone from 6:40am till 10pm with 20%-10% battery left.
My use is:
WIFI all the time.
3G (data transfer) off all the time.
GPS off.
Default Brightness.
Sync on.
Playing Angry Bird, Slice Fruit and a bit of Golf 3D and listening music while going and coming back from work (2hrs journey return).
And obviously making/receiving some phone calls.
Now, lately, I've been playing a LOT of Golf 3D (got really addicted ) so from my house to my work I've lost 30%-40% battery.
When I go to my break I play another 30 minutes and the battery is already on its 40%-30%.
So basically I have to charge it at work.
During the night the phone is ALWAYS charging so I don't know how much the phone would drain.
Wifi on
Data off most of the time
Sync on
No 3d
Average time 10-14 hrs
Very dissapointed...i have to carry charger everywhere...LG software is battery unoptimized

Charged 24 hours ago, lost 4% overnight. Played about 30 minutes of Myth Defense, took 7 3D photo's, two calls and three text messages and have 68% left.
Wifi on
Sync on
3G/HSDPA on
GPS off
Wifi localization on
Brightness 55%
Phone is on v10D and rooted. Got a couple of background processes like WhatsApp and battery/time/weather widgets.
The first week it was pretty bad but now I'm quite content.
You have to take into consideration that the phone has a very large screen with dualcore processor. I think the largest capacity battery you can get for this phone without drastically enlarging the casing is about 1980mAh which will give you (just an estimation) about an hour more juice. If you want the phone to last two days on one charge with normal use it would've been twice as large and a lot heavier.
I don't understand how some can get such better battery life when they use the phone more than I do.
Is it the different launchers, what do people use.

What worrys me about that is that your Android System stat says that it is using 15% were as mine says it is using 53%. That just doesn't seem normal.
My Android System is using 33% and it is the one that uses most my battery.
Look at mine...most time screen off and just a litle wifi

Honestly when i look at mine i see cell standby of 53% and think that isnt normal.
In my milestone the display is always miles ahead in battery consumption by about 50% and i assumed it would be the same in all androids.

Nice app man. Im gonna check that out. My experience of battery monitors has always been that they eat more battery than they help you conserve but that one looks interesting.
There are parts on that graph that say it is consuming absolutely no power at all. That seems off likes.

There's a difference between not wanting to be rude by questioning something or just stating something's impossible
Here ya go, after over 14 hours. The top one is RF2011 3D which I played about 5 minutes. Besides RF2011 I played just over half an hour of Wordfeud. The rest of the time the phone was in standby and as you see it still has about 70% charge. My Android System only used 3% in these 14 hours as you can see in my screenshot.

I don't see you showing a better screenshot.
I have never been over 24 hours with my normal usage.With heavy usage it's maybe 18 or less hours.I really don't understand people say they have still %54 battery life after 30 hours since they unplug the battery.
Are you connecting continously on wifi/3g?
Are you getting gmail/facebook/twitter synch.about hourly?
Are you surfing on web min.1 hours in a day?
These are what i do with juice defender 15.minutes interval connection with not too much talk on phone.
If you do these and your battery goes 2 days,please tell me how to do.

For the most part, people don't use their phone. I don't have a picture of it, but yesterday I had 32% left when I started charging my phone, and it's up-time was 2 days and 2 hours. That was only possibly because my total screen on time was only 1.5 hours—in 2 days, remind you. I also disable Wifi, 3G, etc. when I'm not using it.
This is what i mean.We are not observing stand-by time.We should talk about our battery life according to our usage.

Different people use their phones for different things, and for a largely different amount of time each day. I find the most accurate representation of "daily usage" is to have the time since unplugged and the display on-time figures. Maybe the OP would consider adding a 2 picture requirement for this thread?
Also guys put into consideration extended batteries. I just put one in my evolution and omg incredible I've only lost 20% since 330pm and its now 950pm. running juice defender with tia 337 on evodeck 1.3d

So ok, my screenshot wasn't a typical day of use for me A normal day I would plug in the phone at the end of the day with roughly 25-30 percent left (so on average roughly 14 hours between time unplugged and plugged in). My screen shot was a weekend shot, when I don't use the phone much, as you can tell.
This shot is more typical of a normal day for me.
Miui rom, tiamat kernel, Oc'd 1.2ghz... this was taken a few months back.
I don't know anyone having an Android phone, and to have enough battery for more than 2 days. It's because of the touch screen and hardware, not the OS.
I agree. Its totally pointless having a single screen shot that shows a %.
I think we should ask each person to show the "on" time for the the top 2-3 % hoggers to see how much was actually "used".
This is especially helpful when it comes to the display.
For ex: My screen shot will also show display as 45-50% of the battery hog....BUT I only get 90 minutes of "on" time as opposed to 3-4 hours like many seem to get.
That's at the lowest brightness setting mind you
Also---what device are we using with which rom etc etc might be useful to know as well.
I think the kernel is the biggest indicator. When I run a rom on stock kernel (Sense 2.2 for example) on 1ghz I get about 50% less use (both standby and screen on time) than the same kernel but with overclock and undervolt. Undervolt kernels are really the best thing and I think the time that it takes to tune it to the lowest stable voltages for your specific phone really pay off.
i made a post few months back in the SGS2 forum showing nearly 2 days on battery stats with stock rom (i left my SGS2 at home and carried around my bb the whole weekend)

No, it's the OS. The OS requires insane hw to run smoothly, so you can't blame the hw makers.
On the other hand, I can easily get 2+ days with very light GPS usage, lots of Facebook and web, ton of SMS and Spotify streaming. Of course my OS had about 10 years to mature and doesn't insist on constantly being connected to the 'net. Oh, all this without any programs or custom ROMs or the undervolting nonsense.

Hey Xda , About Htc one x ATT bettery

I just dont get it . when looking at XDA "ONE XL battery test vs Htc one battery" , XL get like 30% more screen time on Average and in Andatech too .
With that in mind , some other reviewrs are saying there no different's in bettery consumption . like this one on Slashgear
"LTE has a tendency to consume battery in short order, though on the flip side there are fewer cores in the AT&T One X to power. Overall, then, runtimes for the Tegra 3 and S4 versions are roughly on a par, we found."
So how come some claim HTC ONE XL have about 30% better battery while other say its the same as stand htc one X ?

The XL variant out performs the X hands down.
hours of use per WH (efficiency) places this device at the TOP of all android phones.
I am on LTE all day and night.
When I had the skyrocket, it was dead in 4 hours or so.
The One X has last me all day with still 37% left.
Again, I am on LTE the entire time! I bet 3G will last so much longer. Which is why it's rated better than the international.
This phone has absolutely incredible battery life. I'm blown away.

I have been constantly getting about 11 hours and 30 minutes of battery life. I have emails downloading constantly, I mess with the camera off and on, browse the web a bit for about an hour. Screen on time says 1 hour and 30 minutes at minimal brightness.
Does this look accurate or is this pretty bad for the ONE X???
I just switched from Verizon & a galaxy nexus and that phone has amazing dev support. Fully optimized I never got more than 2 1/2 to 3 hours screen on time. As of right now, I'm at 3 1/2 hours screen on, with 53% left. I'm in heaven lol...

I usually get 2hrs< screen time and it lasts me throughout the day on LTE the whole time.... I'm also web browsing, listening to google music, and on facebook a lot too. By the end of the day I'm at about 15-20% at 13 hours of usage or more

Battery getting worse day after day.

Well, for the first days the battery life was great, going on almost a week and the battery life is bad, just as bad as other phones. The phone with regular use would by 9pm have aprox 40% left yesterday had 30% no today I am already getting a warning of low batt and use was normal...wow....this is not looking good

17h 30m with 52% capacity left after moderate use today (2 hours reading the news with various apps on LTE/4G and the rest of the day on WiFi, with maybe an hour browsing, updating apps and fiddling). CPU - 7.05% at 1.5 GHz, 4.85% at 1.13 GHz, 3.07% at 810 MHz, 80.64% at 384 MHz with the remainder of CPU usage scattered in between. Pretty good really - much better than my HTC Desire.
Use BetterBatteryStats and check for rogue apps sucking battery.
After that, if your phone still is dying incredibly quickly, just use the phone until it dies. Then boot into hboot (volume down and power button together, a white screen with blocky text and some androids on the bottom will show up), and keep that open until the phone shuts off again. Then do a full charge to 4.2v.
Try a number of battery saver apps / tips

I had a Desire, have a Xoom & now a X. Found with large screen devices you have to use those normal tips such as screen brightness, rougue app killing, sync for FB / mail. Rooted the HTC when first purchased with Leedroid to fix battery. Got 50% more from just that process. Didn't wait for the first OTA upgrade to fix that first horror release. Suggest:
a) batterysaver (or similar) on all devices - I reckon it gives a little %.
b) Turn off all apps not being used
c) Turn down screen
d) Turn off Bluetooth / GPS / etc when you don't need them
e) In car, at work, use charger
Gotta love smart phones. If you use it, you will lose it. (Battery that is).

- Root it and remove all the bloatware.
- Turn off auto brightness and set it at a fixed level (minimum is too dark, I have it set a little above minimum)
- Only enable wifi/gps when you need them
- If you need sync, turn down the syncing intervals
I get great battery life on this thing. There must be something you are doing. What do you mean by 'regular use'? Are you playing games for hours on end?
I seem to be having the same problem. Last screen shot I had I was at 37% with 16 hours. Now I'm sitting right now at 40% with 5 hours. Not sure what's sucking up all the juice. I don't have any sketchy apps installed. Might delete them one by one see how that goes because something is seriously draining the battery and I know it's not normal.

my battery was horrible. In fact I went to take it back to att. He told me to try a complete factory reset and try it factory without any extra apps installed. So I did and my battery is sooo much better during my "test" before I couldn't get more then 9 hours with 3 hour screen time but now look at it. I'm guessing ny case it's an app like task killer or something I had on the phone killing the battery. Now to figure out what it was.

I just got over 36 hours on one charge and had 16% left. That was riding a motorcycle for 3 hours through the mountains where I know there is spotty coverage plus a 2 hour conference call on Friday.
One thing I've noticed, check your wireless settings and make sure Best Wi-Fi Performance is unchecked. I had that turned on and got about 9 hours on a charge. Turned it off and fantastic battery life.

Yea there are definitely some rogue apps that will kill your battery. Best bet install an app one at a time and see which one starts affecting battery life.

My brightness is set at 20% and I turned gmail sync off. When I charged it to full this morning it was only at 4.177 is that normal? Some people mention that theirs is at 4.2.

i'm with you. I have seen some posts on here about 4.2 and noticed some say 4.3 should be achievable. Perhaps they are rounding up the 4.177 to get the 4.2? I, too, charge to exactly 4.177 in morning on full overnight charging. Actually, my device is 4.187 until i unplug, when it immediately drops to 77. That said, my battery life has been great in the 9 days since my initial day or two with the phone.

Awful battery life.

So I just got a replacement device and after 3-4 full charges and discharges, this is the battery life I'm getting.
My first device lasted almost 5 hrs screen on time on the first charge out of the box.
Screenshots below, thoughts?
Running 1.82 Ruu.

Also noticing, the phone is ALWAYS warm right under the camera.

I think you already know the answer to your "any thoughts" question...that IS awful. Sounds like a rogue app stuck open. I would download a battery stats meter to see what's eating up your battery...simple fix.

Well upon inspection, everything is normal besides this...
No idea what that is.

How about doing a factory reset, reinstall the RUU, and running a couple of bat cycles before installing anything (other than XDA of course, lol). This would let you know whether the phone is a dud or not.

It's strange. I've noticed that some (most) units get great battery life, but there's some out there that are abysmal like yours.
I'm on my 3rd One X and this one gets the best battery life of any smartphone I've ever had. I could easily go over 24 hours and get several hours of on screen time. My first unit was just as good but took it back because I dropped it. My second one was noticeably worse although not as bad as yours. If a full factory reset doesn't do it take it back for a new one.

A reboot seems to have solved the problem for now.
I'll have to see if it comes back.

Try turning off haptic feedback.

Never used it and have had it off.

HTC must be using different suppliers for the batteries like they are for the panels.
My Rogers unit had terrible battery life with LTE turned on with the stock RUU. (1.73 I think).
I got decent battery with LTE turned off (menu for Rogers or *#*#4636#*#* for ATT). Then I upgraded to the latest ATT RUU (1.85.502.3) and I get great battery life even with LTE installed.
So try turning off LTE for a day and/or move to the latest RUU.
Try this one. Fully charge your One X. Turn it off and put it on the shelf. Turn it back on the next day. It won't turn on. The battery will be completely DEAD. Happens every time for me on 4 different phones. Something is sucking the battery down when its OFF.

Yep. I have been playing with a few phones, the nexus and the note and been shelving my hox. Everytime I turn it back on its DEAD. Makes no sense.
Same thing has been happening to me and others, phone will be running great, then all of sudden warmth around the camera and quick battery drain. Info in Android Central thread: /htc-one-x/174836-battery-just-drained-very-quickly-weird.html

Go to settings then power and uncheck fastboot. Your device should no longer die while "being off". At default HTC settings fastboot is turned on (not adb/bootloader type fastboot) literally it doesn't actually fully power down the device so a faster boot time can be achieved.

It could be Apps. I was running my One X with minimal apps installed (just essentials), and battery life was fantastic. Now I installed a bunch from the play store, and my battery life has become similar to yours. about 45 min screen time and 6.5 hrs total and down to 45%
