battery life not as good as before - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

when i was on ICS rom whether being cleanrom or viperxl i can get at least 24 hours with 2-3 hours of screen time. now with JB i am not getting that. i am using the same apps and widgets. right now i am using custom kernels(that is suppose to improve battery life). is JB using more battery than ICS?
i flash different roms cm10, aopk, miui, and sense base, and using different kernels. is it possible along the way something went wrong causing my battery to deteriorate?

I think I'm getting just as good battery life now as on ICS. ViperXL + undervolted elementalX.
I still have 29% left on that screenshot.

Try app called greenify from play store. I wasn't sure of it at first but it works great at keeping residual processing hogs like Facebook, Google maps, and anything else you chose in a frozen yet accessible state unlike titanium backups "freeze" which leaves it less accessible

i will give that app a try.
is one hour of game playing same as one hour of youtube? use same battery?
so i charge my phone this morning and it says 100% with green led light, then i restart the phone now it only shows 87%, so i shut off the phone to charge, took maybe 10 mins and it is back to 100%. any ideas??

Are you overclocking the custom kernel?
What radio? You might try the JB radio, as there might be a ROM/radio mismatch causing some extra battery drain.

i am using latest att JB radio with cleanrom 6. running vanilla elemental x 5.3, cpu set at 192/1350

4G and battery drain

I'm currently running CM7 nightly, LordMod UE, radio 26.06.06.30_M, and Ril 2.2.0018G.
I'm losing 5% battery every 5 min while using 3G/4G for Google Music with the screen off. On wifi it's tons better but on data this is awful.
Is this standard or is there something I can do? I don't have access to wifi except at home.

Lordmod UE 7 and above were having battery drain issues. Not to downplay the Lordmod kernel because I used it for months and liked it. But try TalonACE kernel and see if the drain persists. Or downgrade the Lordmod kernel. TalonACE is made for the Inspire. Lordmod is made for the Desire HD and works on the Inspire. I've become a TalonACE fan.
I switched to the Virtuous Unity rom, and I LOVE the battery life, I run juice defender too, which helps.

There is a page towards the end of development section where the guy shows you how to do a clean install of your ROM and battery calibration. I'm on CoreDroid and my battery life was at 50% by 9:30 am when I had a full 100% charge at 7: am. After doing this guys method I had 100% charge at 6: am here it is 4:15 pm and I'm at 72%.

There is something going on like a stray program or service. What are your top programs in Spare Parts or running diagnostic *#*#4636#*#* on dialer. Look for Partial Wake usage on battery and also look at total usage.

Observation on sense 4.0.4 (cleanrom 4.5)

I have to applaud HTC for somewhat following development of their device. They added a toggle to change the behavior of the recent app button so there's no need to mod it. On CR 4.5 I also have 770mb of ram visible. Maybe they did some optimization. Even multitasking is a tad better without Scott's multitasking mod.
I have a bug that shows "G" when I'm on HSPA+ but doesn't really affect speeds.
Overall I would say this OTA is quite good. The overall feel is much snappier.
Edit: ok, so the multitasking is pretty boss so far. The last 4 apps were still cached after not touching phone for 30 minutes. It COULD be placebo but god damn I'm enjoying 4.0.4.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
I'm happy to see this review, as I'm planning on upgrading from CleanROM 4.2 to 4.5 asap. However, I'm not sure that this mini-review is so much about the newest Sense as it is about CleanROM. How can you be sure that the upgrades that you're noticing aren't from Scott's work, not baked into Sense?
The recent button behavior swap is new from stock 4.0.4. The RAM increase has to be from HTC directly because we have no kernel source.
As for multitasking, I'm doing a little bit of assuming. Scott likes to put his mods separate from the rom itself so people can choose what they like. Only EQS, 4G icon and some ATT specific mods were included in the CleanMod install. On top of that, this is the best multitasking I've seen on any rom. If Scott DID do something with the multitasking I'll be glad to be corrected.
Either way, everyone wins with this update.
EDIT: HSPA+ with 2.09 radio, I'm getting speeds I normally get on speed test. I hear people have problems with LTE? Not sure.

I used stock 2.23, I can confirm those sense options are from stock. Also, I noticed the interfacei n general is much smoother and snappier. They also added a fade effect when turning pages on the home screen which is nice.
So wait, HTC freed up about 100mb of RAM with this latest leak? That's awesome! I think I'm gonna have to update my ROM now, still on CleanROM SE 2.6.

I think that's just gravy. No 4.0.3 based rom even comes close to the multitasking that the leaked 4.0.4 has. They must have tweaked their extremely aggressive memory management to allow much better memory management. Of course YMMV, but I've just been testing it over the course of the day. Most of the apps within the first 4-5 slots can get cached no problem if you press home.
People complain, but this might be the reason why HTC have not released their kernel. HOX IS their flagship, so maybe they didn't want to release a crippled kernel for HOXL users. I'm very impressed that they are listening to community feedback.

What's the best ROM for super-long battery life?

I'm currently running Clean ROM 4.5 and only get about 14 hours per a full charge. Please share your thoughts!
King cobra seems to give me the best battery life followed by Nocternals ROM. Both are very close to each other from what I can tell.
I used to get good battery life with Wild Child's WCX Illuminati ROMs but he closed his site to non-americans so I don't know how his ROMs are doing.

Actually Xs. I have gotten better battery life with your ROMs compared to either Cm10 and Aokp. Now that we have the source for 4.0.4 and if they get those wake locks fixed that might change but I think your ROMs are a little easier on the battery currently.

It is quite possible that your "rapid" battery drain is caused by one of the apps you have installed, as opposed to the ROM you are using. I'd highly recommend installing an app like Better Battery Stats and use those numbers to find the worst offenders.

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.

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.

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!

ViperX Rom and Battery life

Hi all,
I just updated to the latest ViperX OTA update and my battery life has gone down significantly. It says it is due to the wireless which I leave on and connect to at work and at home. Is anyone else finding this? Is there any new firmware for the wireless radio that I can try or anything else?

Try installing the Elemental Kernel. This is a Venom approved kernel with voltage control. You install it the same way you would a ROM. It will lower the voltage on your phone by default, using less juice from the battery, while still having awesome performance. Most people have no issues with the default 850mv. You can get it from the Venom Hub, or here:

Also, some people have reported downgrading their radios to previous versions, but I never really noticed a difference.
Wait a few days for it to stabilize. It's always bad after a fresh flash.
in my case it took two days, then it stabilized.
I have been on this new version for about 2 weeks now and it is still fairly bad. I will give it a few more days and monitor what uses the battery more closely. If I still feel it is the WiFi then I will flash the elemental kernel and see how I go.
Thanks.

I've always had awesome battery life with viper xl, remember to wait a few days to let things settle.
And make sure to clean flash.
