There's a similar (sticky) thread on Lumia 920 and it's about time the 8x got one - especially since there are new threads on battery issues opened here on a daily basis. So, feel free to post your opinions, reviews, stats...anything regarding your battery; changes in battery life caused by...

^So you would all recommend the HTC doubleshot case? I wonder how would it look with my black 8x. Anyway, I can't really make up my mind because the doubleshot definitely makes sure your 8x stays noticeable with its aesthetics and htc logo LOL. But in terms of protection of the phone I feel that...

Re: Battery Is Acting Up Today I use that battery widget too :) Anyway, when saying that you normally lose 2-3% of battery per hour - is that in stand by mode? With 3g+data turned on? You gotta be more specific than that.

What's Active sync? Btw., coolknight, following your fresh info on that trick when charging phone -> turning it off when full to charge more until its "fully charged" -> repeating that...well, it seems that my battery life really has improved i.e. battery meter is much better at showing battery...

Re: HTC 8x battery life is horrible ^ How long have you been using your 8x now? These are really great stats - I don't think I'll ever get to 2 days with mine - even with light usage. In those two days, how many hours approx have you been doin sth with your 8x? Just asking so I could calculate...

Losing 10+% overnight in a stand-by mode with everything turned off! So...anyone else having battery troubles like this? I mean...I just hate it when I fully charge it right before going to sleep. And then in the morning it's already at approx 88%...by the time I sync my email over wifi and...

I doubt it, for me personally the biggest battery hog was that damn HTC hub app or whatever it's called, whatsapp doesn't seem to be draining the battery (that much, at least). The first two days I didn't even have whatsapp installed and I was losing battery like crazy (sth like 30% in 2 hrs...

No, it wasn't streaming music, it was played locally through the built-in app. I've just downloaded battery stats app and will see what it tells me about my hourly battery consumption. Currently 3g (5bars) is on with battery app and whatsapp in the background and music playing through the...

I can only dream about that kind of battery life, maybe I just got a defected battery? My 3g signal is 4 bars out of 5 (most of the time, sometimes even 5 out of 5) and I repeat within those 3 hours I haven't got anything on - no syncing emails, nothing...the screen was locked. Also, I noticed...

Percentage dropped another 2% during my sleep time (roughly 7 hours) which is fine I guess. When I woke up I turned on the wifi and surfed my favorite webpages for 5-7 minutes and it dropped another 2% after that. Then I turned the wifi off, turned on the 3g data and left it like that on...

Lost 4% already in standby mode only. No wifi,no 3g data, no syncing, brightness low...will leave it on standby till the morning (its 00:37 here) and will see whats the status then.

I hear you. Battery on my 8X (European T-Mobile) has been abysmal so far. I've had my phone for three days now and have charged it three times already after no heavy usage. First day I was shocked to see how my battery would drop like more than 10% in an hour in a standby mode!! I knew that...
