Battery lifetime 4XHD vs HTC ONE X+

Looking at the review form gsmarena.com LG 4XHD has twice shorter life time in video playback, talk time and web browsing (3:59H) than HTC ONE X+ (7:56H).
Batteries have the same capacity 2100mah, both phones are almost identical hardware (processor tegra 3 t30 vs t33, screen 4,7' etc) Why 4XHD has only 4H web browsing lifetime??

LG 4X HD have twice as bright screen in comparasion to HTC One X. In gsmarena battery life test they set the brightness on 50% on video and web browsing test, but 4X have black brightness 0.34 cd/m2 & white brightness 369 cd/m2, while One X have 0.15 cd/m2 black and 200 cd/m2 white brigtness. If you set 4X screen to 25% you'll get the same brightness, video and browsing time as One X +

Have you tried that? It's impossible to get 8 hours web browsing on our device!!

I think the test is conditioned, where the active internet connection is solely from a close-ranged wifi router. Unlike mobile data, wifi signal is stable, so no extra juice is wasted for signal searching.
I highly agree that it's impossible to get a straight 8 hours of web browsing, though I've managed to get 5 hours of browsing non streaming web (I was surfing online comic book) using my home wifi

The same goes for HOX+. I haven't said that is managable to get 8h of browsing, I said that you'll get the same time as on HTC

Again, have you tried One X+ to say that? Or you're saying gsmarena are faking those tests?

Two of my friends have HOX.
Before 4X HD I used Xperia Neo, and max I can get on video watching is about 3,5h, which is miles away from 7:45h from gsmarena battery test.

..No, they just don't specify if they've done their own test, if they've referenced another site, or simply typed down the info from the manufacturer.
edit: also, you get different playback times depending on what sort of codec you're using, and if the processor can run on very low clock-rates during the playback..

They always say that it's their own test.
And about the codec I agree with you, they should post the resolution and the codec of the video they used.

Right. But they kind of appear to be comparing their own test with a manufacturer's "best case" test. ..And we get these threads.

I think that with jelly bean update the phone will get much more time on battery..

Yes but from today, now the phone is 40% and more than 41 hour when it got last charged. Take a look.
And brightness is on 50% automatic (mostly outdoor use)

anyway with these fixes that I mentioned earlier I got 4 hours of game play (20% brightness) 3 and a half online multilayer gaming, (Still CPUs eats a lot of battery tho)

that is so true
htc with the htc one x with a 1800mah batttery does better then the lg 4x with a bigger battery.
htc knows what to do to make battery good with little battery. lg doesnt know anything just throw a big battery in there and voila!

Nah its parts too, and the quality of the battery rather than its capacity. The one x sucks, my friend is sending his for repair because overheating killed it after a year. No modification, not even root. Don't talk ****e, use the phone or sell it. I'm growing ever tired of these debates, I switched myself to an xperia t for improved gaming performance. The result was indeed better gaming, but also the battery overheating, which damaged it and now the phone shuts down all the time. At least our phone is reliable

Xperia Z battery life gone 3h!!! Dont buy it!

Hello everyone!!
I recently bought an Xperia Z, but the problem is that the battery depletes after 3hours of onscreen time?, i went to the store and they too found it strange since it should have around 6 or 7 hours of onscreen time.
They exchanged the phone and gave me a new one, and sadly that phone had the exact same problem( REALLY!!?!?!!), and to top that, it's with screenlight at 25% and every battery heavy options turned off.
So i went to the store to get a refund. In the store another guy had exchanged his Xperia Z 4 times till He got a Z with a battery that worked as intended....
I will never buy a sony product again after this letdown..
And i would definitely not exchange my phone 4 times to hit the "Working-Battery lottery!"
It seems there is some sort of failure in the release of many of the Z's released, i found this guy with same problem

I also have bad battery life, but yet I don't see your point of making this topic at all.
6/7h on screen time really yo? On a 1080p screen... maybe next year. There are plenty of people that reached 5h+
If you want 7h on screen time, get an iPhone LOL! That way we would get rid of you and you would be with the other sheeple.
Topic is useless, can't believe you made an account just to say that.

I don't get it, my battery lasts all day, I charge through the night and take it out at 7 roughly. Then I use it through the day playing games like shadowgun and using social networking sites like Facebook. I also use gmail quite often and I also watch YouTube videos aswell. If I have brightness automatic and battery stamina mode it can last me throughout the day. I haven't charged my phone sine 7 and I still have 13% charge left.

Pretty sure that wouldn't even work. One of the girls I work with just got an iphone 5 and the battery drains like crazy on that thing. She starts at 3am, and by ~8 she is below 15% and has to charge pretty soon after. Then she has to charge when she gets home, and again when she goes to sleep.
Meanwhile, I am one of the heaviest power users I know of, I use my phone for work (flashlight, camera, calendar, calculator, barcode scanner), frequently check facebook, ragecomics reader app, general web browsing and play store browsing, small downloads eg mp3, apps, flashable .zip tweaks from here, frequently check simpsons tapped out, play some dead trigger, watch about 30 -60 mins of movies, receive a few calls and texts, maybe 10-20 mins of music playback. Out of habit I normally pull my phone out every 10-15 minutes and unlock it, flick around absent mindedlu, then lock it again after not actually opening anything :\ not sure how I picked up that habit.
To top all that off, I have my screen brightness set to 100% with adjust to lighting conditions ticked, I have location services and sattelites on, auto sync on, 4g data always on, wifi on but location based activated, NFC on, and finally, also have better battery stats installed and allways doing it's thing as I am also experiencing some rougue wakelocks I am slowly dealing with (still stumped on what is causing audio_out2 and deleted_wake_lock)
Despite all this, my phone comes off charge around 330am, and doesn't charge till 8pmish when it finally runs out of juice. That is one hell of a solid effort as I have done pretty much nothing to help out my battery, and doing everything to make it struggle.
I have only undervolted slightly, and am using doomkernel on KA04 rom. I am not using stamina mode either. Infact, when I was using it on stock rom, I couldn't see any difference between using it and not using it. I can't really see how it would do much IF you had NO wakelocks (or very little). Besides knocking out LED all it really does it disable background processes, if you have your phone set up right you shouldn't really have any anyway:good:.
This phone leaves my previous galaxy S2 in it's dust for battery life under the same usage in anycase (I used to charge that thing about 3 times a day most days).

All phones take time and a number of charges before the battery stabilises, and start running at optimum.

actually on my iPhone 5 I get more like 9 hours of screen time, sometimes 10. Not saying that your friends account is false, but that sure is hell doesn't seem consistent with any battery rundown test I've ever seen.I can go 2 days without charging it roughly, I'm sure the incoming hate and vitriol for my use of an iPhone as a daily driver is about to pour in from the less intelligent Android users, but this is one of the reasons my iPhone is still my daily driver. That and a consistently good camera.
Cheers~
P.S. I have owned many many many Android flagships and am an experienced power user.

Since when did iPhones ship with battery stats?
Or is there an app for that?

Batteries need a few charging cycles before doing their job properly. It's like having sex for the first time. The first time you might be disappointing but as you do it more often, you supposedly become better at it. Batteries work the same way.

Can't believe you just compared batteries on a phone to sex.

My battery life is acceptable. Getting up to 4hours screen time or a little more from 09 - 22. At this time, I then have about 14% more or less. And this is by alot of whatsapp, messaging, maybe a call or two. This is not using LTE. I find it very battery draining so I stick with 3G. Besided i am on WiFi most of the time.
So as long the phone can do a whole day without charging in most normal days for some people that don't travel alot, I ffind the battery acceptable

Battery Life

What do you guys do to get such great battery life? I only get 5 hours of screen on time throught the whole day
Sent from my LG-D959 using XDA mobile app

No one can really answer this for you as it is very dependent on how you use your phone, your signal, what apps you have, etc. For example i use my phone to cruise the internet, xda, a couple phone calls and texts a day. I got 4 hours screen time one day with no signal but had it set on WiFi calling set to use network when available. Switched it to use only WiFi the next day and got 5 hours (plugged my phone in with 15% still remaining) so would have been choose to 6 hours. Today I'm at home with a new LTE tower giving me awesome signal (about damn time!)but still using WiFi for my internet and I'm on pace for just under 8 hours screen time.

I used to get about 7-8 hours screen on time when i first got the phone
Now im down to around 5-6 hours of screen on time
I guess the battery has taken a slight toll, and of course its non-removable
but turning off location/GPS saves a ton
and as the guy above stated you'll get longer time staying on wifi all day with screen on, versus being on LTE,even with good signal

Wow that's abysmal. I've never gotten less than 5, 6 hrs sot. I regularly use my phone as a hotspot, download torrents and game religiously. When I do none of those things and just browse the web, text, etc I get 8, 9hrs easy. Before KitKat 10 wasn't unusual.

I feel your pain, brother. Came back to Sammy for the Note 4 after 6 weeks with the OnePlus One, where I was getting 40-60 hours! But, my signal in 2nd floor apt of a 3 story was unusable on LTE, and the One doesn't have wifi calling. It looks like even after rooting, freezing, greenifying, I will be lucky to get 15 hours.....But what a beast of a machine this is! Gonna play around with slow vs rapid charge, and keep my 10,000 spare battery with me, and use this til the 64 bit goodness rolls out next summer/fall.

Possibly a defective one? Im getting amazing battery life. Even before I was rooted and had all the tweaks that custom roms give us. I leave my phone off the charger all night and drop maybe 3% over 8hours. Ive been gaming, surfing the web through LTE and Wifi and it seems like I have to really push it to get a solid battery drain.

Your screen on time is 2hrs 15mins thats close to 6hrs of screen on time tell dead. Seems about right

Went to the T-Mobile store and the guy told me he has had 4 people in complaining about the same thing ..i m thinking its a bad batch they are out of stock ATM but I've had the phone less than a week so I think I'm going to exchange it once they get more in

Battery life and SOT on pie.

I've been having horrible battery life on Pie. I started on a clean slate then restored through smart switch. I'm getting max 5 hours of SOT on pie whereas I always got 8+ hours on oreo. I don't know if it's just me or anyone else is experiencing the same. Please share your battery stats so we can average out the outcome. If this continues, I'm definitely odining back to oreo.

Nope, I am At&t went back to Oreo. Wasn't getting anywhere close to the 8 to 10hr screen times as a see some have. Best I could get was about 5hrs..granted I would have about 6hrs call time which is ok I guess, but still Oreo was better for me. But then again I never let my battery drop below 20% and I usually only charge to 90%..I never let it get down to the single digits.

I'm on T-Mo and have great battery life. 8-10 hours SOT. Mix of WiFi and LTE.
Actuakky I'd say an estimated 8-10 hours. I use the phone pretty heavy throughout the day. I'm on it for a couple hours after I wake up. Posting on here, reading my Bible app, checking the news, etc.
Then I go to the gym and stream music through Bluetooth for a couple hours. I usually check my phone occasionally and take calls while there.
Then I randomly get on it throughout the day and evening at home.
I average 1 hour of screen time per 10% of battery, but I haven't been able to kill the battery before bed to see the full 10 hours of SOT. And I charge over night. Though I have left it off the charger by accident and still woke up with a plenty of juice.
This phone is a beast that sips battery. And my Note 8 is doing just as well on Pie.
I'm not saying I don't believe you, I'm just saying something must be going on with your particular phone.

I'm getting 7hrs 40mins average SOT

Exynos the battery is quite good.
Dual sim always, location high + wifi scan when wifi off, max resolution on (WQHD+), no AOD
On 4G i get around 5 hours SOT and on WIFI around 6 SOT
Those that are getting 8hours+ probably sometimes they are using the phone in airplane mode with WIFI enabled or not at all and a lot other things that they do not mention so please do not take them as "normal" people because it's not fair what they are presenting and does not reflect a normal day to day user.

As some noted, depending on the usage - the battery life on pie is worse vs oreo. For me it's also worse as I multitask a lot. The SOC CPU control is tuned differently for more performance. Sadly, it's leading to worse battery life while still lags massively behind the snapdragon 845 in performance. Luckily - it's a little bit faster. This is the reason why most likely those reports about lower battery life on pie will come from mainly exynos note 9 owners.
For me and my usage, it's not massively lower, but surely it's noticeable lower usage before need for recharge vs oreo. It's still ok. I am not so ok with the gutted multiwindow functionality and the rushed/bugged state (and that's funny given how many months the PIE update was in development + the beta).

I also saw some recent tests of those with exynos and update Pie with Antutu around 260000 compared to the test made on Oreo around 244000. It sees the CPU and GPU increase and a consistent decrease to UX and MEM.

Actually depends on the apps you're using, on wifi I got very high battery without airplane mode, which can make me go to 10 hrs of screen on
