Anyone else have battery issues after upgrading stock Android to 3.18? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hey all!
I had recently upgraded my HTC One XL from ICS to JB and am currently running firmware v3.18. However, while killing my chances for rooting my phone (at least for now), I seem to have gotten a pretty horrible battery issue. If I were to use my phone while charging over a power outlet using the stock charger, there would actually be a net battery drain. Also, a full charge from 0% to 100% now takes over six hours. Regular battery drain seems to be fine.
I have not done a hard reset, and don't really want to considering I can't root, so I'll lose all of my unsaveable data. Does anyone have this problem, or know any possible solution?
Thanks!

Ruu? Its that or factory reset since you're stock..

Don't you need root for the former?
I guess I might have to settle for a factory reset...

No. You just need to download the right ruu for your phone software/carrier

Stock ICS random reboots to dead android robot with red triangle?

All my searching (xda, google, phandroid) attempts only came up with people having problems flashing roms. THIS IS NOT THAT.
I have a Nexus S 4G (d720) running stock 4.0.4 (never rooted or flashed a rom on this phone). As of about 3 hours ago, my phone has reset itself four times. 3/4 rebooting to android robot with red triangle. The last one reboot to the google logo and then was stuck for 10 minutes. Any thoughts on what could be causing this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Without fail, it's done it every night for four nights. Can anyone help?

Yes. Tried it yesterday. it didn't shut off all day...until i woke up late today because it spazzed out and my alarm failed.

Now, it restarts to a screen of the android robot and a rotating light blue wireframe complex shape of some sort...then it changes to the dead robot with the red exclamation mark. I don't even know what to google anymore....any help??
If it has never been unlocked, rooted and completely stock...I would just take it in for service. If you want to root and flash then we can help :thumbup:

I'll take it in tomorrow, if they can't help...would it change anything to root and flash a rom? or could it be something hardware related?
Found a post with a similar problem here. It looks like going to the sprint store won't help much...
Take it in first. If not I say root and see if that solves it.

I took it in, they did a "Factory Factory Reset" where they have to input a "special code" and it spazzed out within 5 minutes of me turning it on. So completely stock, no apps, no nothing. fresh out of the box and synced to my gmail, it did the same thing. The only new thing I've put on my phone in the last month has been a Zagg screen protector...and I'm fairly certain that has nothing to do with it. So they ordered me a new one, hopefully it lasts longer than this one. Thanks for your help.
Glad it worked out.

Battery issues after rooting.

Hi I am a total newbie in android and rooting. So a few months age I rooted my s2 using an insecure rom 4.0.4 bvlph. afrer a few my phone started turning itself off even when battery is near 100 percent . when i turned the phone on again it started saying low battery. This kept happening a lot and it has now come to a situation where i can not use the phone for more than an hour doing anything. I have attachdd a picture which shows the battery drain and how quickly it happens. I have also attached a picture which describes my phones details. I was suggested XDA by a friend and was hoping that someone can point me to the right direction.
Many thanks for your help.

You can try wiping battery stats, or flashing a new ROM altogether

Try flashing stock rom via odin

Flash a new custom rom..
And do a full wipe before installation..
If that doesnt work then there is something wrong with ur battery

Although if his battery wasn't having this problem before, it seems unlikely that it just developed exactly when he rooted.
Like they all said though, do a full wipe before you flash a new ROM.

I think u should go with a new ROM
Flash a new ROM

Keyword being "insecure" rom. Try a different one!

It looks like that this rom Network and Wifi is eating up your battery the most. I would say its cause that your network signal is poor and your phone keeps searching for a good signal and that is using up your battery. You can try flashing a new rom as well as getting a new card (transfer the number to a new sim card).

[Q] Sense based ROM's won't work on my HOXL

Hi every one ! since I rooted my hoxl I have only flashed aosp ROMS not sense based roms , so yesterday I decided to flash one (Hakataxl) when the phone booted up I cooldn't pass from the lock screen when I tried to slide the ring , boom reboot I even flashed the ROM twice !
and flashed another rom (VIPER) the same thing happend please help me
Also did you do a full wipe in twrp? Factory reset, system, cache, dalvik cache?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I'm on 1.09 hboot and after I switched From liquidsmooth Rom to viper, viper wouldn't boot. I actually has to flash kernel separately. And instead of the viper boot screen liquid smooth screen kept popping up. The Rom would boot but crash and reboot once I tried to do anything with the phone.. so maybe try flashing a sense kernel after Rom install regardless of your hboot. Also make sure you wipe everything venomtester said

Is your screen not working at all? Are your volume buttons still active at the welcome screen?
If this is the case it sounds like you need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware. This can be done here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159863
If they're not working well I've got no idea

2.4.1.0 by the way what does the "system" in Wipe menu deletes?
Its a blessing to be able to use only aosp lol!

"System reboots on Sense" is almost always "out of date firmware".
You need to flash a firmware.zip for Jellybean ROM's.
There is one floating about in the ViperXL thread that contains a few things you need and avoids things like hboot 2.14 etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236
"WiFi Partition Updates".
The other way to do it is to get a first round 3.17/3.18 ota and flash the firmware.zip in RUU mode.
I say first round as many carriers are now onto their second 3.17 and they are not complete firmware.zip and lack many of the firmware files.
The first round ones are all complete.

Actually, YEEES! but I need battery more than anything and aosp roms don't offer that kind of battery life that sense roms give you
I get crazy battery life on cm 10.1 official and all roms based on it.

Well tell me your tweaks or kernel or whatever you use cause I get 7-10 hours normally
No tweaks. I just use greenify to nullify any wake locks and disable any radios I'm not using.
I get about 16 hours checking texts, listening to tunein radio to and from work.
Web surfing. About 3-4 hours screen on.

Yeah I think im a more heavy user any ways will install greenify and flash that jacob rom ... any cpu governors? or just on demand
I just use on demand. Though I have used smartass v2 and Wheatley in the past which also yielded good results.
I only use the Jacob kernel for swipe to wake, otherwise I would probably use stock.

on the comments in androidpolice, someone said this update wiped their phone. anyone tried it yet?
Just installed the update. Only took a couple of minutes and didn't wipe any data for me, but we'll have to see about battery life. I had resorted to disabling all of the location based services it had gotten so bad.

Definitely seems to have fixed the battery drain issues. I was able to turn everything back on and the battery is draining at about the same levels it was on ICS.
I would assume this is a T-Mobile USA update. My post-update version number is 3.14.531.17 710RD.
Does anyone have a download link for the OTA? The "Manually Update from HTC" links all go to the 3.14.531.11 RUU.
How do we update the phone if it is rooted? Mine is rooted and it keeps booting to the recovery and nothing after that. Is it possible to unroot so I can install the update and root it again afterwards? I don't want to flash it to stock and then root it all over again.
I updated yesterday. Glad to see this update. I ended up taking my phone apart and replaced the battery thinking it had gone bad. Jury is still out on whether this update makes a difference.

if battery low and cant flash use this =)

ok guys first sry for the bad english i try my best
if you have a broken android system on your device and cant flash a recovery/rom because your battery is to low...... use this here
1. download laden.rar
2. extract the file laden.bat
3. copy the file laden.bat in your fastboot folder ( e.g c:\Android\) and you need the newest sdk-tool
4. boot your phone in bootloader and take fastboot usb ( power+vol-)
5. double click on laden.bat
6. now you battery will be load
7. maybe you must wait few hours you need ~3900mV for flash recovery
you need a unlocked bootloader
What is this?

I usually just charge up if I'm low before or during a flash

by the continual reboot the battery becomes charged
this himself is but only a short moment open repeats it because of this always
try it fun you will see it but you need a few hours
This is super sketch. Definitely wouldn't recommend anyone use it.
Not to mention most people should be using twrp anyways.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
It doesn't trick anything so much as essentially give you a sort of... running meter? of how much charge you have, then resets it to gain a bit more trickle. Seems like a stupidly slow way to get trickle charge, but if for some reason you've decided to use a recovery or similar that won't let you charge while its running, then this should net you a very slow charge. As mentioned though by pretty much everyone, TWRP renders this as unnecessary, as it can charge while doing whatever in recovery.

so I wanted to go in recovery, however, points only briefly bootscrren in from cwm and restarts directly
for flashen new recovery was battery to low said at least bootloader and hit also every time is absent with try it to flashen
in bootscreen and in bootloader one cannot load the mobile phone
and with this programme this has clapped could charge so far I was able flash
however, lasts long
