we all know that the battery life is crap on the amaze. It's no surprise. What I've been wondering since is why? why is it such a battery hog. In terms of CPU and ram, it's only slightly higher than the sensation and the sensation has a great battery life. I know the sensation and Amaze are completely different phones and hardware is completely different, but what makes the amaze have such a bad battery life? anyone ever able to figure this out?

Might be the kernel, extra horsepower, less optimizations than the sensation?
I always assumed it was the absolutely stunning screen that did it.

It's the display, it uses too much power and heats up too quickly, which uses more energy than it should, that's just imo though.
i used google maps tonight to get to my daughters swim meet. 2 hours and 29 minutes uptime and my battery literally went from 100% to 35%, no exaggeration. the only thing i was amazed by was how ****ty my battery life is. oh well, 2 more days and this phone goes in the drawer to collect dust

The display for sure since we're rockin' that qHD, now had it been a Super Amoled - it'll make a big difference in terms of power usage. I've set my display to the lowest (helps out battery drainage most of the time) and i've also downloaded JuiceDefender (works great).

with the emerging on aosp roms, we can tweak the voltage that certain parts of hardware get. you never know, this phone might have had a code problem like the gs3 where they accidentally set the voltage too high and the phones battery died like crazy

I'm curious too. HTC says it's a 50% increase in battery life but we will be the judge of that.
HTC Sensation w/CMX JB 4.1.2
This may not be exactly what you're asking for but it's no worse than the Galaxy S3 I had. It also has a Power Saver option permanently in the notification bar that has no visible impact on performance.
I can't give an accurate figure yet but after 4 and a half hours of heavy use, constantly downloading apps, making calls, listening to music and using it to browse the Web at a relatively bright screen setting and it's still at 62%. With the power Saver on and my typical usage habits I have no doubt that it'll last the whole day without issue.

Battery life is immense compared to even a rooted custom ROMd HOX. This is my second day on power save mode and the second time I've hit 12+ hours of near constant FB + emailing with 33% left.

Having had the HTC one X+ for 3 days now....I really dont see much improvement. (very much comparable to my One X with Jelly Bean) As much as I thought it will (300mAh more), but I guess it's not much difference. Please note, I am not saying that the battery is bad, but even HTC one X with Jelly Bean already has good battery performance. I guess the extra 300mAh must have been cancelled out by the extra power in CPU. Anyway, maybe give it a few more days (more cycle) so that the battery is settled. Maybe then I can see better juice from it....but at this stage is unlikely.

Im thinkin on getting this phone, but I need it to last at least one day....
Im talking of course about "normal use" Im not talking about playing games, just playing around 1h30m .mkv, whatsapp, push mail, feeds, some social, music, etc....
I read also about other user he told that one x+ was unable to decode video via HW so, sometimes the image was not synchronized with the voice. Is that real?

For normal use should be really no problem. For HOX battery test on gmsarena gave 37 hours until empty with 1 hour talk, 1 hour video and 1 hour web browsing each day. So with HOX+ easy
I can watch MKV 1080p videos streaming from my NAS at home without any problems, just ridicoulos! btw: I use BSPlayer for that, don't know about stock player...

just ensure you charged the phone via wall socket and you will see and increase in battery life.Moderate use takes me two days to drain the battery. Wifi and LTE or 3G drains a lot of battery

Nothing to complain about!
PS Sure I can drain the battery to zero in a few hours with full power use That's the same on notebooks: with moderate office use you get 6 to 8 hours, with full power it's empty in 1.5 hours...

I bought the droid DNA a couple days ago and I have 10 days to decide wether or not I want to keep it. It sounds like Verizon won't be getting the HTC one so I'm trying to decide whether to buy the s4 or wait for the developers to unlock the 2.06 boot loader so I can root it. Opinions?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
It's really up to whether you like touchwiz or sense. And if you really need extra storage.
And keep in mind, the Verizon s4 will have a locked boatloader, so there's no telling how long you'll have to wait to root that. So I woildnt make rooting a deciding factor.

Its the battery life that's really getting me. I absolutely love the display and camera quality but only having 16GB of internal storage is holding me down. I only have around 60 apps installed, all of which I use, but I have more that I would like to install but can't because of the limited space. I love the DNA's well built body and everything about the way it looks, but having poor battery life and a small amount of storage is whats changing my mind. The S4 is such a high demand and popular smart phone that I doubt I would have to wait that long before somebody unlocks it.

S4 over DNA
Better battery life, I'm even running the DNA on HSPA+ and it dies faster
Far better camera
I love blocking mode for at night, it works just like iOS do not disturb
Deeper Dev Pool for troubleshooting and hacks
Faster across the board
Will have a bootloader unlock solution almost day one.
MicroSD card for pictures and downloads
Multi color notification light
DNA over S4

Great screen
HTC feels less bloated
More available storage because it is less bloated

The Dev is just waiting for the Verizon version to be released before he announces the exploit.
The S4 has the option for qi but requires the purchase of a new back panel that has the qi receiver built in, it's not released as of yet but I believe it is set to go for $40.
If I were you I would get the DNA and personally I wish I had the option to because the main reason for getting this phone was a 1080p display but now that the S4 has one I would choose the S4 because I miss the developer support with galaxy phones.

Not to mention that the S4 battery is removable and charges in 1h from 0 to 100%. With that being said the DNA has an impressive battery life considering the "small" 2020mah battery and the 5inch 1080p display.
Quick charge batteries usually end up needing replaced much more often than a non removeable battery like the DNA has. Quick charge is cool and all but the average battery life on my DNA according to gsam is 18 hours. More than enough
