Does anyone know if we can do what the tegra one x users are doing and replace our batteries with the 2100mah one x+ battery? Looks like it should work from what I have been able to dig up, but not 100% sure. 2100mah One x+ batteries are going for around $35 on eBay.

What exactly have you dug up? More than likely the increase of the battery size is a physical change.
From my research, the batteries are the same size across the X, the XL and the X+ except the X+ has a different chemistry (you can tell since it's 3.8V instead of 3.7V) so it holds 2100mah instead of 1800mah.
The XL doesn't seem to overheat as badly as the X does so we already get better battery life than the X. It seems the X+ battery heats even less so not only do you get more battery because it has more mah, it also lasts a bit longer because there's less heat.
I made a thread about this a month or so ago. One s people report no problems with it. Try it for us!

Not worried about the .1 volt it shouldn't be an issue, was more concerned about the physical size. I will be ordering one tomorrow.

Nice! Report back on the battery life improvements when you get it back. If you have time, run Nova Battery Tester (long mode) after using it for a week to break in the battery.
I want to get the battery myself since I know it'll fit but I'm unsure on how much extra battery life we'll get on the HOXL since we already had less warm and better battery life than the HOX. There's also a small chance the HONE will have the same battery size again (with larger capacity) so I'm hoping for that too =D

Perhaps when the warranty runs out, I'll give it a shot...

I just got my battery today, and installed it... and it was a success!... kind of.. our internals are slightly different from the international One X, but the basic of the design is the same. You just pop the screen off, take off some screws, pull off the battery. Some of the key differences from the international one x is the plastic cover over the motherboard near the camera. it hides the screen cable and the volume key cable is also hidden next to the battery. I recommend pulling off the volume keys out when trying to take off the battery cable. they are glued onto the side and can be easily peeled.
I had my fair share of scares and had to open my phone quite a few times.... and as a result, the housing got bent and i ended up breaking the micro usb part of the housing. Not a big deal since I have my TPU case on at all times... I also managed to break the pressure pins for the wifi antenna... ended up using some solder and fixing that up... luckily i'm getting great wifi reception now.... be careful when prying the screen off near the left side... if u stick something in there, don't push in your prying tool too deep.... there are about 4-6 pressure pins on that side. but after all that, I got the one X+ battery in my AT&T One XL!!!!
I gotta run it for few days to see if it's stable enough... I really hope it's okay lol... but if it breaks I'm also due for an upgrade plus have a nexus 4 as a back up so no biggie

Do you have battery life stats yet?
Not the greatest battery life I've seen. My set up is cm10.1. Mostly stock. Stock cpu/kernel. I charged my phone and calibrated my battery. Wiped battery stats. Calibrated again for good measure. I have wifi on at all times. Auto brightness that's adjusted to low brightness. Tasker running at all times only controls volume (according to time) and 2g only when connected to wifi. I also use greenify to hibernate maps. I'm mostly on wifi all day. So far no problem.. Thinking of doing a clean wipe and restore.
I'm sure sense roms will do much better. I will run nova battery tester when I charge my phone tonight. Most likely my battery will last til the end of the day. (over 24hours with 3+ hour screen on which is probably 1hour more screen on time than before)
it's only day 1 with the new battery so i'm hoping after a week i'll get the full benefit of the battery... I may need to try a sense rom.

Instead of Viper, try CleanROM or RebelROM. The first is a lighter Sense ROM, and the latter is a mostly desensed one with AOSP touches.
Viper is too bloated to get great battery life, but has tons of tweaks.

Some have said that it fits without any mods though. Im still in the testing phase of my read chictech. Before power cycling it the battery life was terrible, now that Ive cycled it Im seeing better battery life then stock OEM. I unplugged @ 7AM and I have 65% battery life left on Virtuous 0.70 with moderate to heavy usage throughout the day. HSPA+ on full time, WIFI on full time....see for yourself, I think the singles are only 15$, thats what I got.

How long have you had your phone? The first could of days the battery life was horrible, but once everything settled, the battery life doubled.

Until it melts down in your battery compartment.
I just read the whole intire (every single freaking word) thread about official batterys in the accessory thread,and it delivered no answers. It seems as if the people in that thread would rather argue,than help the movement and find the best alternitive. Does anyone know of a battery for the inspire,that would deliver better battery life?
I have tried this aswell. Could not find answers ... being a heavy user , I did the next best thing. I Installed a ROM which gave me a good battery life. I am currently using Gingerbeast and I am pretty happy that it gets me through most of the day. This is 'my' solution until a decent battery with bigger capacity comes in.
I am sorry this is not the answer you were looking for... however , it may help someone who may want to go that route!

Yeah i def plan on rooting and flashing whatever sense rom there are,that was gonna be my next step after i receive the phone tomorrow.

Amazing what the devs can do,but me,im a VERY HEAVY user but im only using my phone from around 5pm until maybe 2am because of my work shcedule. I just hope a better battery comes out. My whole past week consisted of 2384720589 million google searches and reading through 84573809 million threads to see if i should get an atrix,or an inspire and i chose the inspire. After all the android phones ive had,i want this one to be something that makes me wanna stick with it for my 2 years. ehh,we'll see

The thing is, due to the design of the phone, there's not a lot of wiggle room to make a larger capacity battery.
A larger capacity battery has to be physically bigger in size. That works for phones that have the battery on the back side of the phone, because you can provide a modified battery cover to accommodate it.
The inspire, not so easy, as it slips inside the phone, from the side, so the only dimension that could be enlarged is the length.
A little more length *might* be possible, but it would be a tight squeeze, and probably wouldn't result in that much of an increase in capacity.
Better to try to focus on optimizing the phone with the existing battery, by way of roms and such, as mentioned, instead of holding your breath waiting for some dramatic advance in battery technology to appear that allows more juice to be stored in the same physical space.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
The only possible way to get a larger capacity battery would be very tricky. It would require a battery door that had power posts to contact the battery contacts, while maintaining connection of the required contact points on the battery door. Sounds simple enough, but trust me, the development and production costs of said battery would prolly far outweigh potential profit. As a result, I don't think we'll ever see one those type batteries. I suggest following the advice of the other members previous replies, as their insight is that of a Jedi Master. More like, we are Droidi, they are Droidi Masters. Lmao

Why couldn't they just stick a battery pack that attaches to the back of the phone, and have a wire with a little adapter that goes into the normal battery spot. Make a rubber case to go around it, and hot dang, ta-da you're done.
For me, I use an iSound 8000mAh battery that's about 2 pounds, and cost me all of $80. A bit steap, but being able to fully charge my phone a handful of times on the go makes it worth it to me.

Hooray for deadheads. Anyway, I'm tired of seeing these threads pop up and stick on the first page of the forums in the DHD and Inspire sections. If you have seen how the battery goes in there, there is no way to stick a new one in there without some serious R&D. There have been a number of efforts on xda attempting to dispel the myths that state a battery that's identical in physical volume to the stock battery can hold any more juice. That's a boldfaced lie until something better and more cost-effective than Li-Po comes along. Even the giant batteries that say "3500 mah" usually have 2,xxx mah. I used to not care about the latter because I could make my Wizard, Hermes, Kaiser, and Rhodium last for two or three days on a charge for $10 on ebay. I testmed my "2800 mah" batteries and they were anywhere between 1940 and 2300 mAH, but it was still worth it to me until I got my Rhodium and figured out HTC made an official 2,150 mah battery and door that I tested and sent to xda member "Dougie" to test with a more accurate method than mine and it tested at exactly 2,150 mAH. Stock HTC batteries usually test around 95% of their rated capacity.
I don't want to write a 5 paragraph essay on the chemistry of Li-Po batteries, so please take it from a battery life freak that a larger battery in this phone is impossible. The best they'll be able to do is things like the iPhone's Mophie Juice Pack. My solution is that of the previous poster in that I bought an 8,800 mAH battery that weighs a couple of pounds that I take with me when I go camping for a week or two and use the phone for satnav with satellite imagery. It takes a while to load on GPRS, but who cares when I've got 10,000 mAH of juice? For outdoor sessions greater than 14 days I have a few photovoltaic panels and a waterproof project box to get it to 5V. It'll charge the big battery in about 4 days of direct sunlight as long as I don't uberkill the battery and have to 'shock' it back to life.
Yet another thread on battery. Sigh.

I've seen that type of setup work on some equipment where I work too. Except professionally done so that its housed right and doubled nicely as protection for the devices.
As for the external battery, it isn't much in weight for me, but I tend to go everywhere with some kinda backpack on, or a laptop bag, so to me its just there. Plus when I'm at work, all the outlets are in areas that I'd have to either duck under my desk to mess with my phone, or buy longer USB cables. I just go with the battery, more so since I can use it when out of the office and there isn't any outlets around. Same with like on a plane, at an airport, etc where outlets are crowded or not as enjoyable to work with. Plus the case I have the phone in requires I use a knife to get the stupid thing open, which means changing batteries is ten times the work as plugging in a USB cable.
if you think about it. a few years ago everyone probally thought it was "impossible" to squeeze so much into a phone and make them as thin as they are today. but as technology evolved the manafactuers have put alot into the thinnest phones on the market. so i believe that within time they will make a battery for us thats the same size and has more mAH. just my opinion,others may argue but i mean,when dulecore proccessers came out im sure no one thought we would never see a phone with all that squeezed into a cell phone. never doubt the possibilities

So then to answer your question. I have not read, heard or seen a battery that will do any better than the original. Best bet at this point in time is to by a spare or carry a charger with you.
I have experience much better battery life with custom ROMs vs the stock ROM.
Hi, I'm planning on purchasing an HTC Sensation now that I've gotten rid of my iPhone 4.
I do have some issues regarding the purchase. I've seen threads commenting on dust collecting under screen and a poor battery life. Are these issues common on the phone? And if they are, is it possible to clean out the screen when the issue occurs? I've heard about a 1900mAh battery so I guess that's a better fix for the battery.
I'm on a T-Mobile family plan with no data plan. If I purchase an unlocked Sensation, will T-Mobile automatically add a data plan to my line? This happened to me when I used my iPhone 4 I got as a present on my AT&T line.
Thanks!
Not had my phone for all that long so I can't comment on the dust under the screen issue yet. But for battery life there are a few things that can be done, if you root your phone you can get SetCPU and underclock your phone when it's screen is off to extend the battery life or get Juice Defender, which disables wifi and data when the screen is off but turns them back on every 15 minutes to allow it to sync and will then turn them off again to save battery.
But even without a rooted phone, although the battery life certainly isn't good it will just about get you through a long day. But obviously you can also get a 19000mAh battery or even a further extended one as well as an external battery that can charge your phone up providing you don't mind carrying one around.
Also, can the Sensation play flash videos natively? I've heard some mixed claims regarding that.
I have had the Sensation for quite some time now and I don't have one spec of dust under my screen. And battery life is good. It last me through the day but I bought the Anker 1900mAh battery because it is so cheap and so amazing lol.
I would recommend the Sensation to anyone.
Anker 10,000 maH battery......
I purchased the Anker 10,000 maH battery. I had to...... I use my phone all day long. So I really don't turn on my main computer everyday. Especially since I installed a terminal emulator on my Sense. Now I can correct code, and scripts on the fly. I can re-charge my phone 5 times with this brick. Fits in my shirt pocket, and it takes an hour from 10% battery to 100%. Not bad.....

Dust under the screen is a common issue, but it's only a lot more common than it should be - the number of Sensations affected is still a very low amount. The safest way to take care of it is to go through T-Mo or HTC and they'll clean it out. Trying to do it yourself will definitely void the warranty cause you'll have to dismantle the phone.
Battery can be terrible, but a chichitec, anker, or mugen 1900mAh battery along with a good rom/kernel/clockspeed combo fixes that. I'm on Android HD 3.x gingerbread with the stock kernel, clocked at 1.5Ghz when the screen is on, 768Mhz when it's off, heavy user and I can make it through the day. The other thing to consider is how you use the phone. The Super-LCD looks crazy crisp, and it is, sunlight visibility is great and color reproduction is nice - although it's no SAMOLED. Here's the problem though, it's a mega power drainer. If you listen to a lot of music on your phone or maybe stream Pandora comedy, you shouldn't have any issues. If you're an all-day facebooker or constantly texting/emailing, that screen will destroy your battery and I couldn't recommend the phone, as much as I love it Don't get me wrong, you could do it, but you'll probably need a spare battery or a charger with you.
With the 1900mAh battery, I can have the screen on constantly and texting/emailing/browsing for about 3 hours straight. If I keep the screen on and play games, 2 and a half hours. Not much difference even though one is a lot more intensive than the other. The S-LCD panel is a huge battery drain.
I haven't had any problems with dust under the screen.
Battery life great for the amount of time i use the phone everyday (screenshot attached).
If you're up for it i'd suggest you flash a custom ROM to use the full potential of the phone. Personally i like Android Revolution HD, but it's all down to personal preference. Try a few different ones and use what you like the most.
Hi guys!
First things first:
Happy New Year to everyone!
I'm thinking of an upgrade (from HTC Vision & iPhone 4S) and looking at Sensation as an option and I've got a few questions regarding that.
My main concern is it not to late to jump to a Sensation? are there good developers still around? I remember RMK jumped from G2 to sensation, and he's still here, how about others? Any rumors or plans to abandon Sensation? I'd imagine alot of them getting the new GN, I can't really be bothered, rather have an option between Sense and AOSP.
My other question would be is the hardware acceleration fully functional on current ICS roms?

I'm running RVHD 5.02 and its still running at 1.2 GHz.. I haven't figured out why. I'm running super tuner, and setcpu. It's running quick, but not at the advertised speed.

It's "there" but it doesn't run very well. Barely feels like its on. Just wait a month or two, and stable ICS will be released.

Despite having GNexus I would recommend the HTC Sensation. Had it before gnex and it's very good phone. Had two small issues :
1) battery under heavy use drain fast - bigger battery recommended.
2) random ringtone/notification change (this could be related to 2.08.401.1 ROM, which isn't officially released, but is a test ROM).
Other than this is VERY good device and won't let you down.

on a side note, what's so disappointing with GNexus?

Disappointing? Nothing . Only issue I had, was the "volume ghost", but after flashing 4.0.2 all OK. It's different device and as I was hard addict to Sense, I'm surprised how quickly get used to GNex. Love it
i have no dust on my screen yet. i buy it 3 month ago.
ps:i come from China.hah
The dust problem is annoying, but it's no problem to get a new phone when the first one has dust under the screen. The Akku is okey for one day full use, when you load it every night. When you need better akku there are good ones with 1900mAh, on Amazon Germany for example the one by Anker.
Thanks for the input everybody!
Regarding the data plan. I currently have a family plan with no data. When I purchase my Sensation on ebay or any other auction site, and then use my T-Mobile sim, will I automatically be added a data plan?
does anyone here know if the one x+ battery will be a direct fit into the one XL, the battery life is horrible on this phone and since they upgraded batteries and kept design same im just curious if we could benefit from it? i tried to search the forum but it wouldnt let me use the + symbol and i couldnt really search what i wanted

I laughed.
The battery is pretty good. I don't know what you're doing...
Something tells me that just because the size of the phone is the same, doesn't mean a bigger battery would fit inside the One XL.
I assume that the One X+ battery is missing some internal components, or they're re-arranged.
You can't increase the size of a battery without increasing the physical size.
Just my thoughts.
I get great battery life like a day of use out of my phone on aosp. Im at 11hrs now at 52%, my old phone had to be fully charged like 3-4 times a day.

Pretty decent, yesterday i had 10.5 hours with 4 hours screen time and i was at 33 percent(Stock). I do not know how you can say the htc one x battery life is horrible when it is more then what is said on att's website..

True but, what I posted above was moderately heavy usage so I think the htc one x has exceptional battery life with light to moderate usage 2-3 hours screen time a day the battery will last 2 days+ if used an hour screen time the next day, so i think the battery life is good, and im only on stock right now. With all these roms, battery life can be almost doubled probably with certain changes.
Any 'heavy' user shouldn't ever expect great battery life. That's common sense, unless you're stupid. That's like racing your car on a track and expecting great gas mileage.
Ok I can listen to music over a Bluetooth headset for a few hours and its gone, the screen not being cut on hardly any or doing anything else really. I'm running viper xl, I was just asking a question no need to call me stupid for getting bad battery life

Thats very odd, but i think he was responding to my post although i said i did fine with moderate usage. Mabye change back to stock, see how much you get compared to viper, or you can try reflashing. i could prob listen to music for a long time with screen being off on stock. I dont know how much consumption of battery viper xl takes.
I'm running ViperXL and my battery is at 26% right now. Took it off the charger 13 hours-ish ago. But I have easy battery app and mobile network turned off. Only turn it on when I am out of range of my WiFi.
