[Q] Battery life is horrible all of a sudden? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

For the past couple of days my battery has been draining at an unbelievable rate. I've been using the same rebel rom for a while and this is a new issue to me. Does anyone have ideas of what I can do to fix this? I can hardly last a single day on one charge when before I could last almost two.
Here are some screenshots.

Same thing happened to my friend, turning off LTE fixed it.

I used to get24 hrs total time and 5 hours screen time. Now I'm averaging 8 hours total and 2.5 hours screen time. No crazy wake locks or anything. Started happening after flashing cleanrom 4.5 and all the different radios. May go to stock ruu reunlock and install 4.5 again see if it helps.

Yes. Same everything. Tried calibrating battery. Everything that drains is off. Is it a faulty unit?

There its always a chance
If your phone last 8-10 hrs then no you can improve by playing around. If it last like 5 hrs and you have calibrated and have gone through a couple bat cycles then maybe there is an issue.
Chances are, you need to play around

OH NO.. Help.. Sudden Battery Drop..

I usually get around a days worth of battery life with medium to heavy usage..
Last night i charged my phone 100% and when i woke up after 5 hours it was completely out of Battery.. I didnt use it overnight.. Any idea what could have caused this??
The phone too wasnt awake..
My phone is around 1 month old..
Edit: Unrooted phone
Are did you flash a new rom? If you did you would have to re-calibrate your battery

Could you have left something running in the background, a game, or WiFi?
Or did it even charge.... Could the cord be plugged out?

Though i would like to add that i did add a new Thyparancy Skin a couple of days ago and made a custom lock ring..
But a Skin shouldnt cause problems should it??
Because i have seen people use them without any problem whatsoever

Nothing of that sort..
I did charge it 100% and am sure of that.. Plus i wasnt playing anything and even wi-fi, gps and bluetooth were off..
In battery usage it is even showing as asleep and screen off..
faulty battery buddy it seems....I am also using the same theme as yours and the phone has 2 hrs of on screen time
Ok for you guys having battery life problems Here is what I did .My phone was dead in six hours. After doing this I am at 2% per hours no problems. Even though I have only one sync which is HTC mail on demand I did not set times within the mail app to sync you need to set those parameters to only sync once every two hours in peak hours and one every 6 hours in offpeake time. I found all this out by using better battery stats partial wakelocks and current widget I hope this helps a few people! I unplugged my phone at 8:45 AM yesterday and am at 42% right now so It is running like a champ.

Battery life

Ok so I have a question? Can someone explain to me how they are getting great battery life...

Today was my best day yet. I updated to 1.85 via RUU and then flashed CleanRom 2.5.5 yesterday. Today I was on it literally all damn day and had over 3 hrs screen on time with 8hrs off the charger before I hit 60% battery. That was with a ton of web browsing, FB, xda app. Made some calls and used skype for a while too. I'm sure I could have hit 5 hrs easy if not more on the charge but I plugged it in when I got in my car. I thought I had good battery life before but that blew my mind.

Nothing special. Brightness at 33%, autosync is on, hotmail set for every 15 minutes... Not using twitter or any other funky accounts. I used autostarts to prevent a bunch of crap from running on its own but that's about it. I wasn't even trying to get that battery life, it just happened. Was using the phone pretty much business as usual.

After flashing roms you would have to.wait a few cycles for battery to perform at max potential.

Here are settings on my phone. And, I am down to 87% with 55 min screen usage (surfing xda) and 2 hour idle.
I don't use any 3rd party taskers/battery savers etc. Also, I don't download an app that is just a mobile website. I noticed that some apps are badly coded and consume more battery than their mobile site. Browser is optimized well. Also, default browser is better to juice than Chrome Beta.
Brightness % toggle is set for 10 25 50 100. I mostly use 10 25 and 50.
I keep data off when at home or work - 90% of the day.
I use fm radio app rather than streaming radio app - tune in when I can. Saves a tonne of battery.
Rooted on 1.73, debloated.

Nice wait but that jump upward toward the end, were you charging it there, send a screen of the graph with the usage pattern under it
And you recharged it abit
Hehe. But seriously I get around 17 hours of pretty good life. Moderate to heavy use with still about 30% remaining
Just sick and tired of these people complain about horrible battery life

Haha nope not quite we mean like tap the "screen" entry so we can see how many hours of screen-on time you've had, and also possibly tap the usage graph then it shows when your phone was awake, when WiFi was on/off, when it was charging etc.

As much as I do like the phone. I'm quite annoyed at the battery life and am thinking of ways to improve it and etc. but it doesn't seem to be working. I get like 8 hours and by then it's at 30% MAX. Usually around like 20 or so. 10 hours and it's pretty much dead. Am I doing something wrong? my screen is only on for about an hour and a half or so, maybe 2 hours. Lowest brightness setting, 4g off, 2g on, wifi on.. that's about it. I mean as much as I love HTC, I can't love this battery life...

Yes you're doing something wrong or have a faulty unit. Make sure you flash a good ROM (I'm using aokp) and that's it. I have my screen at about 25% brightness and here are my stats which is quite acceptable.

@devgee Lol wow 5hr37min screen and almost 10hrs thats quite impressive, all things considered hang on how is your phone still ON at 1% not charging? Mine shuts down at 4% generally...unless I charge it till 7% and unplug, then it runs to 0% before powering down?

Might be the 1% battery mod which has been added to the viper Rom (Don't know really)
I was too surprised when it was 1%
Usually it shuts down at 3% or 4%!

Well this is what I got.
This was back on CM. That rom game amazing batt life.
I don't have the screen time pic but it was just over 4 hours. Still had 1/5 of the battery left too! With this phone I just leave gps, wifi, antenna and sync on. It's so rare for me to NOT last a full day that I see no point in being conservative about use anymore.

I get give or take 12 hours of battery off my phone on a average day.
I found that I got better battery life once I switched ROMs.

I got the One X, and so far I've been on the battery for 12 hours. It started at 99%, and after some internet radio (30-45 Min), facebook, and lots of WiFi usage I'm down to 34%...
I'm running stock too...

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!
