Hi!
I know, I know, you have all seen loads of thread about this: HTC 8X batteries dying very quickly. But all those topics are pretty old now and I thought, their may be new tips, tricks and ideas to solve this problem.
I recently got in touch with my HTC 8X last Thursday. I had to install several updates (I guess 3 system updates and one language pack update, USA language). Later on I noticed I updated the GDR 2 update. I thought HTC pulled back that update due to some problems.
I installed all my apps I had on my Huawei Ascend W1, changed the setting to what I prefer and was ready to show my phone to all my classmates.
To test the battery directly, I charged it to 100% before I went to sleep. When I got up, it was a 83%. Fishy, I could stay 100% all night with my Huawei. But hey, it's a brand new phone, the battery has to change to my usage.
From 8AM till 12PM, my battery dropped from 83% to 29%, and I didn't even use it that much. I tried to use BlackNight1968's battery tips, but the battery died within 3-4 hours. So, I did a factory reset to fix it all up, again. I only installed the apps I only need and disabled almost all background applications, still no success. The battery still died within 5 hours (Wait, I see improvement here!).
Today, I'm at 80% in 3 hours (it's still getting better!). I didn't use it that much, but when I did, I could see the battery dropping very quickly.
I know some of you have an amazing battery life (16 hours - 2 days) and some of you have the same problem as I have (2-6 hours). The fun thing is that my dad had a HTC 8X as well, and he could rock his phone for days. Using navigation, having chat-chats with his girlfriend, playing games when he was in a traffic jam in his truck. And I have to be lucky to 5 hours by barely using the phone, disable almost every background application and to disable all the fun features.
Please provide me some tips, tricks, ideas, suggestion or whatever you can. I also read a couple articles that the battery is getting better with in one to two weeks (I may believe that), can someone confirm this.
As I said, most of you have seen threads like this and will probably tell me the same. But still, make my day!
