"HTC Update"

[Shodan_HR]

got some serious battery drain after this... from 06:00 am til now 50% of battery is gone in stand by mode, mostly. i had one short call. LOL
battery sense reports 11,5% battery drain per hour.

I'm getting battery issues as well. Battery drain went up from 1.x% to 7.9%! I wonder if there's an option to restore to the previous firmware.

@jomargon: Why are you posting the same thing in every thread you find? Calm down, post first your fw version, is it the same?

Also experiencing worse battery life now than before this update was applied - still not as bad as pre-Portico at least.

I can say that I found a small bug, sometimes when I take pictures like from the up above to the floor it rotates the picture oddly. Is not how it supposed to be and because of this you have to manually rotate the picture afterwards. If I take a normal picture with my hand raised while holding the phone then all is good. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Its not a bug, the phone was slightly titled the other way. I experienced this alot too l, thinking its leveled when its not.

battery drain is really bad after this update. I love 8x but I cant believe that HTC is constantly scr*wing up things rather than fixing it

Here's another theory: Unlocked HTC 8X getting new 20005 firmware update | WMPoweruser

It's exactly my version, but with a funny language ;-) They say the update could reduce the "Other" space.

Personally I haven't noticed any battery train.

I got the notification for an "Update" (It didn't Specify what kind of an update) , I didn't update it yet ... I don't like updating without reading about it first .

I think I found a workaround that decreased the battery drain and brought it back to pre htc update. I turned on nfc, wifi and gps (i usually leave nfc and gps off) then drained the battery to 1%. At that time im losing round 7.9% of battery per hour. After that i turned nfc, wifi and gps off again then charge my phone to 100%. It's been 8 hours since my last charge and battery is at 94%, with battery drain of 0.7% per hour.

Im using battery sense to monitor my phone's battery drain by the way. Not sure what exactly fixed the battery issue, but im sure that one of the steps did the trick.

Are you using the phone in that time? That drainage of .7% seems impossible with those settings on.

 

[jomargon]

The settings mentioned above were turned off. I turned them on just temporarily (less than an hour) to drain the battery faster then turned them back off right before charging. Also noticed that battery drains faster now when cellular data is turned on after the update.

 

[nemxboxdxb]

my battery life seems to be back to normal, as jomargon mentioned try by turning on and turning off most of the settings.

 

[frankiect]

I get 0.5 idle drainage /hour with only location on. I would say it's pretty good.

 

[Shodan_HR]

yep, mine battery life is back to normal... i`ve used battery discharger to drain the battery and then fully charged it and restarted the phone just to be safe... it` ok now

You know what, pre-portico I had that notification. I forgot about it since obviously it was removed when I installed portico. You are right, use to have the phone remind me of "hearing damage" if I played above the 20 mark.

People..I don't know if it's good to post your IMEI and MAC address online. Just saying.
