My Palm's battery life is horrible?

My HTC ONE X has HORRIBLE battery life!?!?!?

• my htc one x has such a bad battery life compared to reviews and official battery specifications and im trying to figure out why and its really frustrating. I can only get roughly 2 hours of screen time and a bit over 3 hours of total time before the battery needs a recharge and it cant really be this horrible? I got the phone a little bit over a week ago and the first days I used pretty much only at home so since I had the charger available at all times I didnt really mind this issue but now that I started actually using the phone its really really frustrating and the battery is almost completely drained by lunch time. I play loads of games on it sometimes but pretty much only when its charging otherwise im just browsing the web. I tried reinstalling and resetting the phone and clean all apps and im even using battery saving apps still the battery life is horrible. Is there something wrong with MY particular phone or is the HTC ONE X really this HORRIBLE? Acording to the manual your supposed to charge the phone before using it the first time and I didnt do this, I booted the phone instantly and then used it untill the battery was completely drained and the phone shut off and then I charged it fully. May this have damaged the battery life or something? I mean it shouldnt but I dont know maybe thats the reason? and if so htc really sucks hard

• Answer:

  Well, essentially it's your fault. When you first turn the phone on, the Android software (this applies to any Android phone) creates a small file on the device that controls battery life. Do to the fact you didn't charge it fully before you turned it on, the phone is convinced the maximum capacity of the battery is much less than it really is. To fix this you need to "recalibrate" you battery. What you need to do is charge the phone before it reaches less than 20% battery life for at least the next 5 charges. The reason you don't need to wait until 0% is that the One X uses Lithium Polymer, a much more efficient battery Tech in that respect. Making sure the phone is turned off when you charge it, and that you let it complete the full charge. The light will turn green at this point. After the 5th full charge while off, boot the phone. Once it's finished, hold down the power button until the phone says it will reset. Keep holding the button. Once it reboots, you're done! I've the same phone and get between 14 hours (of hardcore use with the brightness set to 50%) or 40 hours if I'm keeping it in my pocket and not using it much expect for a few texts and calls. To all the uneducated people who can't spell in these comments, I do recommend the iPhone 4S for you. It's made for people who don't understand technology, but like to throw away money.
