ViperX Rom and Battery life - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

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.

Coredroid battery issue

Battery drainage issue on the coredroid 5.4.
Before my coredroid didn't drain battery like a stock inspire rom. When my phone is on stand by mode, it would drain like normal inspire. When its being used, it drains even quicker.
I did a full wipe then flashes the full rom 5.4.. didn't change radio or anything else.
Anyone having this issue?

What you can do is charge the battery to 100%, then wipe battery stats in recovery. Also try juice defender, ultimate juice is worth the money. Post your results later

I too realize not much different from stock rom when using Coredroid 5.4. First was using GB version thought that's the reason, flashed with Froyo still notice the same. Probably gonna try different roms tonight. Besides, my notification light not flashing anymore during stand by mode, make my phone looks like turned off when screen is off.
Keep in mind that you might not have the best battery life with coredroid gingerbread, while therw have been some major tweaks, most of the extra battery life comes from roms with custom kernels. Kernels is where most of the battery tweaking happens. If you want good battery life your going to,have to stick with roms that have custom kernels ie. Cm7 builds, froyo builds, and miui builds.

While I can't comment on CoreDroid's battery useage - I can say that I noticed a significant difference between the stock Sense ROM and CM7. Take it for what it's worth but I was pleased.

I've been wondering what this does exactly - when wiping battery stats through Recovery? Is this necessary to do often (between flashes of different CM7 versions)? I've flashed twice since rooting - almost a month now. Should I do this next time I charge? Just curious...
i just did a 2nd full wipe and the battery results are the same...
Not trying to be mean...
But am i typing to blind people? Read what i said about kernels.

Sensation Flash on low battery at 29%!!

my sensation rooted and s-off is at 29% and it says flash cant be used cuz battery is low!? is there something wrong? or is my battery not calibrated yet?
No, it's that way for me too. It's dumb but yeah.

It would be a value somewhere that could be changed but will require some digging around and probably root access.
Perhaps the limitation is built into the camera app itself. Does this limitation occur with any 3rd party camera app?
This limitation has been the same for all HTC phones released in the last 12 months or so. My old Desire HD used to do the same thing when the battery was "low".
it is pretty annoying, im sure a developer will find it soon, just needs a little digging around like jivemaster said.
Yeah, it is annoying. Gotta have your battery charged in case you go out at night I guess.
oh alright then
It is very annoying for me also. I usually go out for half hour and have 30-40% battery charged so mostly it goes below 30% and not having falsh enabled is a big mess. Since I am a photography lover & I love to capture precious moments. Someone should come up with with a way around.

Any Solutions Yet
Have you tried disabling power saver?
i always have it disabled
I had same problem. Solution for me was upgrading to latest ROM (2.3.4 ->1.45.401.2 ) ofcourse original, HTC ROM, because I bought this phone for sense 3.0 (i don't know why people write new ROM without sense and say ... My ROM is better... There is something wrong with them...I think.. ...
huh..

it would be great if someone can build an apk or a patch for it to force the flash to work when the battery is low

Flash a custom kernel. I know faux's kernel's have lowered the limit to 10%.
Controlled by the kernel.
Some custom kernels lower the threshold (as long as power saver is off).
Check the Sensation Development section and read up on kernels.
Faux and Bricked both offer lower thresholds, I believe. Check Unity as well.
The features and changelogs will be in first or second post of Kernel thread.
P.
I think it is great idea! What if you got ALOT of stuff to backup, and flash at the same time, and suddenly the battery runs out.. Think about that.

JB on the One X

Which jelly bean ROM is the most stable and provides the mist functionality right now?
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
Bro, there are only 2 ROMS. Look in the Original Android Development thread. One is more stable than the other. One has more features than the other. You just need to do a bit of reading.
Just so I'm not flaming, CM10 is a bit more stable.
Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk 2
im not sure either one will work?
I experimented with CM10. On my phone, it was not very stable. AT&T VM wouldn't set up, browsing was very hit and miss and wifi was very unreliable. Fun to play with, but I certainly couldn't use it as a daily driver yet.
CM10 has come along way right. It's working great at the moment I've been running it for a few days and there's been no hickups.
Take note that your battery might suffer thought.... At the most right now I'm getting 8hrs use but that said some other gents are getting 14hrs.... so take that into consideration.
But CM10 JB is good as daily driver. Everything or almost has now been fixed. Microphone/Speaker still needs work a bit thought. But for the most part definitely works good.
From the screen shot you can see that when I'm using my HOX the battery drain is quite fast but on standby its pretty good. There's more improvement coming along and it will shift into a beta stage shortly.
Sent from my One X using xda premium
The latest version of CM10 is very stable. I've been using it as my DD for the last 3 days since it dropped and I've got no issues. Video camera, Netflix, and Hulu don't work atm but to me that doesn't matter but it might to you. Other than that, wake locks have been fixed, call quality is great, super smooth, no issues here.

It must just be my phone then. I was on it all day Tuesday and Wednesday and it exhibited all the problems above, plus it absolutely sucked battery power.
I highly recommend betterbatterystat to view what exactly kills your battery.

I'll getting amazing battery life. Instead of restoring all my apps (50 or so), I only restored the 10 apps I use most, and I'm getting 4-5 hours of screen on time.

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.

HTC one x you press the capacitive button to the right of home then you swipe up on the app to quit it.Now If you want to permanately remove bloatware/other processes, you have to root the phone ...although juice defender ult is a great app..the one x battery is great for me..even when I was on stock..maybe turn off fastboot( in power settings) turn off all the sound, Screen brightness low, touch settings(vibrate when keys touched..etc).check push notifications manually.. believe me android is more productive in battery life then IOS. 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.
I also have screen brightness set to auto and auto sync for gmail, whatsapp, and twitter. I switched from cleanrom 5 and I'm loving this one.
I have tried most ROMs including cm10, kingkang ROM, etc

Would you say aosp Roms are more battery. Efficient than sense?
Also for each Rom do we have to also flash the kernal seperately using the all in one tool kit by hasoon?
CleanROM has the best battery life for me. It's also extremely stable.

You need a rooted sense ROM. Debloated. Root it so you can flash a kernel that has some has undervolt applied like elemental 2.0.

Yeah sense ROMs for me were okay for battery but the PA 2.54 has actually proven to be better for me at least. Try them all and see what works best for reliability and such, I spent 3-4 weeks discovering what I liked most

Cleanrom with 2.40 or 2.41 radio/ril and beastmode kernel.
CM, AOSP, and other non sense roms seem to be having battery issues. Random steep drops in battery level.

I think the kernel is what allows the better battery life, not too sure though.

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!

battery life not as good as before

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
