Before I start, I'm actually fairly happy with the battery life on the sensation. Today it's been off the charger for about 4 hours and I'm still at 97% with little use and some light browsing. So for general such as idle and browsing, it isn't bad.
I have noticed, however, that the battery life sucks when doing intensive things, such as gaming. I lose easily over 30% an hour when watching videos or playing games. The other day I was sitting through a boring meeting, so I played a tower defense game I had. I had about 60% battery life when I started and my phone died in about an hour and a half. My screen brightness was a bit higher than it should have been, but it wasn't full.
I understand it will drain a ton with heavy use, but 60% in less than 2 hours is insane. I took a 25 minute car drive with navigation and my battery dropped over 20%. That's just crazy.
Has anybody else experienced this? What percent/hour do you lose when gaming? It basically means I can't do much gaming or I'm at risk of my phone dying before the day is done.
Bro, what u think gone happen gaming for an hr, with its big screen on that long? Nothing u said I find abnormal from my experience with this phone, are my last 4 phones. Heavy use = drain
Yeah, I realize that it's gonna drain a lot with gaming. At the same time, I don't think 40% an hour is something to be expected. I'm hoping it was just a weird battery cycle.
yeah, i played plants vs zombies and the battery died real fast. However cut the rope doesnt drain the battery that bad. Depends on game but most phones have poor battery life when you do intense stuff.
the nintendo 3ds has a much bigger battery and also has a poor battery life. Battery technology is crap.
...batteries drain faster under heavier loads bro.
Duh!

My stock battery its wank, easily lose 30% an hour on angry birds but I bought an anker 1900mA from Amazon and after taking it off charge this morning at half 7 I've still got 26% left as I write this, nearly 16 hours later.

Have you tried one of the Aftermarket batteries? I have the Anker and it's safe to say that it does last longer than the stock HTC battery for me.
This thread is kinda funny. You know i just realized? that when i dont eat, i get hungry. Also when i drive like a maniac I use a lot more gas. Another thing new to me concerning batteries, and its on topic because we're talking batteries.... I left my flashlight on this morning and now its dead. Normally when i don't use it it can go weeks without charging.. But please dont leave the light on, it causes massive battery drain!! 1 more thing.. When i'm nice and helpful i get "thanks". When i'm sarcastic i dont
I just wanna work for that company... Whip out the phone and play games during meetings. My apps in!
i only play games now when hook up to charger now

Haha, joke all you want, but coming from the G2X I couldn't kill 60% of the battery in 1.5 hours if I tried.
Go ahead and defend the device all you want, but something about this device destroys the battery more than normal when the screen is burning and the processors are burning.
I agree. This phone has much better standby and general battery life compared to my vibrant, but I have noticed that the gps really burns through battery, moreso than the vibrant.

I actually am really liking the battery life on my sensation, just was in a joking mood. Coming from the EVO 4g i get twice as long with my S4G. Think about it though, you have a 1.2,3,4,5,6,7,or 1.8ghz cpu, depending on Overclock or not, Massive screen resolution, awesome game graphics that take every bit of the CPU/GPU to run them. And it's All running from a tiny ass battery. Look at laptops... If you play a system taxing game for an hour your battery will be toast, and that battery is a lot bigger. I think for what it is, It does a good job.

Then what's the point? I have a mobile device so I can do stuff while mobile. Otherwise I would just hop on my computer or laptop.
I'm convinced by now that the only real solution is a spare battery.

I think my battery is shot or something is draining it like no tomorrow. I got 6 hours of use (14%/hr) with moderate use. I can't even get through my work shift on this...I have an anker battery on its way and I'm hoping that'll fix things.

The higher resolution screen might have something to do with it.
guys when i weak up i saw my phone on fire !!! it was burn like the hell !!!!! what can i do ? i cant open it !!!
with roote phone is out of guarantee ?
Well...basically yes, root = out of warranty. Especially in this case i could imagine them blaming the sw customizations for overheating/burned phone. (if there is anything left that can be read)
Can you post pictures of the phone? From where did it start to burn, what is left of your phone?
Mine was rooted the one I sent back stuck on LG boot logo I still got a replacement from the place I had it.
if it was really burning they won't find out that it was rooted.
i guess it was a charging malfunction.
devices can overheat and break but never start to burn.
only the battery itself could overheat so much. so i think it was a malfunction of the battery or your charging device....
but pictures would be nice
and don't worry you'll get a new one be happy that you noticed it early enough
when i sayed burned i meaned extremly hot . i burned my hand ... now is ok (after 1 hour in aircondition) and battary on 0% . but now my phone smell like a burned plastic ... its imposible to speak on the phone . it smells really really bad
What the hell did you installed to your phone? Performance pack? Or were you using an aftermarket power adapter.
Ah is that the original battery, the one that came with the phone?

That's troublesome, root isn't the cause, I can bet on it, it wasn't in the sun or anything? otherwise it sounds like a defect, mine hardly even heats up when charging unless I'm actively using it at the same time with a heavy workload like games or 3D stuff. If it's a defect lets just hope it's a one of and not a design flaw :/
it wasnt on sun ... it was on a room with aircondition with 19 degrees
19 Degrees.. Where are you from bro
19 degrees on aircondition outside we have around 40
i am from Greece man
When I went out to my driveway my car was on fire, it burned my house down! !!
What I meant was that the steering wheel was warmed by the sun, until it was uncomfortable to hold.
See how exaggerating can give the wrong picture?

Dude it is recommended to have air condition level at max 6-7 degrees below outside temprature
Yea I know it is still hot but 19 is a bit extreme huh

HTc one x overheating
Ive had same overheating issue with Galaxy s2 on ICS 4.03 and with the same games played on HTC ONE X, i've got same overheating near camera n top screen.
I dont think this issue is phone specific
I guess some games and apps are are not optimized for ICS 4.03, coz same games didn't overheat my galaxy s2 on GB 2.3.6.
Its very annoying but hope there is a fix soon.
Had some slight overheating as well. What really got me was that the top was pretty hot when i touched it, but when i touched the bottom it was nice and cool lol

IT will shut off at 60c. Ive never seen mine go over 42c even after an hour of gaming. Install "systempanel" from the market and it will tell you everything about your battery and much more.

My white HOX ranges from 31c to 42c, usually median at 35c but hits 42c quite frequent during multi-tasking usage(facebook, instagram, whatsapp concurrently)

I use TempMonitor from the market.
I find that it's mainly the cpu which gets very hot especially when streaming video such as CatchupTV - about 55 degrees C after half an hour or so.

im new to this website and im sort of a noob in modding, but i heard people on xda are pros and can give me an inside opinion. i wanna buy a new phone and its either the lg g2 or nexus 5 for me. im a moderate user still in high school so you could say my phone is off for a good amount of time. i was set for the LG G2 but then after some good research i heard about all the problems with the touchscreen sensitivity becoming whacky and all multiple reports of terrible lag and stutter, i come from samsung and i despise lag the suffering i had with their devices was enough. now the main selling point for the g2 is the battery life, which i also heard can be inconsistent. my question goes out to nexus 5 users, as i need someone with personal experience. i use my phone when i come back from school around 4pm for 1-2 hours then its off until about 11 where i use it for maybe a max of 2.5 mainly facebook, whatsapp, bbm and sort of a lot of youtube. will the battery do me good? and how long will it last? I really need some help. PS. they're almost the same price where i am so i dont want comparisons of "its good enough for 350" i need honest(with screenshots if available) performance opinions. i could really use some help guys please
You're good to go.
Check the battery results thread for specifics but 3 hours SoT is about the minimum you can expect without touching anything.

Why?
If you are a heavy user then I would recommend getting the G2 instead, the battery life gap is just day and night in terms of difference. As for the stutters even N5 is not immune to that. For the touch screen issues, I have several friends who have the G2 and NONE of them have the issue/
I'm sorry, but does no one own a charger? It will last you the whole day. That's all that is needed. Put it back on the charger when you go to bed, Take it off the charger when you wake up.

how do different you think it is? like you have the n5 how much juice you get out of it and are you satisfied? as for the stutter, i heard a lot of stories about deteriorating performance and the ram being taken up more than 1.3/2 out of the 2 gigs available. i really cant stand lag which is my im tempted by the n5. im not really a heavy user maybe moderate-heavy, but i do go out on a lot of days and i have a trip this summer, so i need something that wouldnt fail me midday

Thank you!!
"I can keep it on for 2 days straight oh wowee!". I don't get why people want it to last forever, simply charge it overnight. Yes, the nexus will probably last a full day depending on how you use it, but even if you can't, whack it on a charger for 30 mins and you're good to go till you can fully charge it before bed. The charging speed is amazing on this thing, so if you're at 5% before the day ends, top it up, and in 10 mins and you'll have 20% ready for the rest of the day.
Battery lasts all day = Good, usable battery.

Depends on the day but for heavy use its not as good as the G2, both devices have their own set of stuttering events. I dont even know why the N5 has a lot of home screen redraw when there is over 600mb of free RAM.
It can't compete with the G2's huge battery but compared to phones with similar sized batteries it is extremely efficient.

It is much more than the 3000mah battery...it also has G ram for the screen which decreases the screen power consumption by almost 30% according to lg even after features such as knock on and also the kernel of G2 must have been optimized to maximise its battery life
That is why it is leads ahead off phones which have same mah battery.
I just moved from a G2 to N5.
When I got my G2 it would last almost 2 days, after a few months it would barely last over 1. I Tried other ROMs modded stock ROMs and just couldn't get the battery back up to where it was. The other day it fell down a flight of stairs and I had to replace it anyway so I got the N5, which so far I like the battery on. I don't expect it to be as good as the G2 originally was, but so far its doing great for me.

Think I heard N5 has the same "G Ram" they just don't advertise it. It also has the same 20% more efficient LTE operation as the G2 and is more efficient than other 2300 and even 2600 mAh phones.
