Battery Stats Thread - XL edition!

[toastyy]

Since the international one X owners have their own thread for battery life, I figured we deserve one too .

If you have a sec, why not post some screenshots of your battery usage/display specifics and describe what your usage is like? Be sure to mention whatever you have done to improve your battery life!

Unfortunately I haven't picked my one x up yet so I cannot contribute, but soon!

Just got mine... Before you ask, yes, I am an at&t employee... So far my battery life seems decent... I will say that yesterday my battery life was awesome... Pulled 20 hours of moderate use before I hit 5%. I'm going to really push it today and I'll report back soon...

Helpful hint...

One person's "moderate" can be another person's "light." Post screen caps (when possible) when reporting your battery life. Also, without doubt, the display is the number one consumer of battery so you should post a shot of your display on time too.

Mine (international) yesterday...

The screen on time should be posted too, That could be 3 hours of screen time, or 30 minutes.

Rogers HTC One X.
This is my stats after 2nd full charge on the brand new device.

Sorry forgot to take the screen of graph before I started the third charge, but it still shows the usage during 2nd charge..

Edit:
The longer chunks of screen on time were YouTube video playbacks.

This is on my first charge, so things might not be too accurate.

Wow! Did I just see 5 hours of screen on time?

Yes sir, you did . Mind that more than half of the screen on time was just youtube.

That's fantastic performance. The international version can't even come close. And it'll get better because that's only the second discharge cycle.

Just youtube? Youtube is actually quite draining because of constant loading of data and cpu. 5hrs use with mostly youtube is very impressive battery life. Now please test again with mostly web browsing.

Haha can't promise to do web browsing for that long without some kind of testing toolkit. I'll leave phone on LTE and observe another battery cycle with my regular usage (mixed of browsing, texting, a few calls, and some drawing something...)

5 hours is excellent! What was the brightness level at?

That would be great. I am we would also like to know the runtime difference between wifi, hspa and LTE.

 

[vioalas]

5 hours.... Holy crap. I'm excited!

 

[bebolf]

Auto brightness.

any chance you'd post a picture or two of it? I'm curious what the AT&T version ended up looking like.

5 hours of screen on time is pretty epic! I hope this is the standard and not an outlier.

I know the phone has a large display, but it's not the actual display that uses so much power on the international version. It's not entirely clear what exactly "Display" encompasses in the battery stats screen, but the international version can sustain the display for over 10 hours on a single charge. So perhaps GPU usage is also included in the "Display" category.

In any case, over 5 hours screen on time is a heartening statistic.

Nope. Typically it's mid to high 3ish with 12-15ish hours per charge cycle. Some people have done better by deactivating anything that uses power but, to me, that's a useless benchmark. And I'm assuming bebolf's results were using the phone as normal with LTE off. If that's using LTE streaming YouTube than praise the Lord, we have ourselves a miracle.

My international version is getting about 20-30% less time on per charge being used exactly the same as my former i9100. It seems to be improving with cycles but I'm not expecting a miracle. People truly underestimated what Qualcomm was able to do with the S4. Its weakest link though is graphics so we'll have to see how that plays out after you guys have had some time to play with it.

There is another question of performance. If the international has 2 hrs less screen time but able to perform tasks twice faster as a result of having 2 extra cores then its not as straight forward as it first seems. Antutu already showed that the one x is up over 60% faster than the xl. This could translate into faster loading of applications, webpages and applications that takes significantly less time to process. In the end you may not need as much screen time on the one x compared to the xl.

So I'll be able to watch a movie twice as fast on the international version?

Read these two articles and tell me how you feel afterward...
