Everyone of us want to maximize battery life of our HOX....
So here are some of the tips for that:
1. Use Android’s Built-in Battery Usage Screen:
There’s a screen built into Android that can tell you exactly what is draining your battery. Go to Settings –> Power –> Battery use to see what has been most of your battery.
You can use Battery Monitor Widget Pro to set alarms to know when charging completes and u can set maximum temperature for battery so that when battery reaches max temp u will get a sound notification.

2. Adjust the Brightness of your phone:
Go to Settings –> Display & Gestures -> Brightness and you can choose Automatic Brightness which usually works fairly well, or you can just turn the brightness down to the lowest acceptable level.
You can also disable Animation & Auto Rotate Screen.
Set Sleep to lesser values like 15 seconds or 30 seconds
3. Disable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth & Mobile Network When You Don’t Need It:
Use Power Dashboard widget to quickly and easily turn on, off or adjust screen brightness, timeout, Wi-Fi and Auto-Sync
4. Disable Google's Location Service:
GPS drains a lot of battery so disable it.
Go to Settings –> Location -> uncheck them
5. Disable Apps that Sync Constantly:
Disable background data transfer as it consumes a lot of data or alternatively sync only essential apps that u need.
Apps like facebook, twitter, mails refresh themselves after a particular interval.

you can also change update frequency of apps
6. Disable Sound and Vibration:
Go to Settings -> Sound and then you can disable Dial pad touch tones, Touch Sound, Screen lock sound and vibrate feedback
