Mugen coming out with super extended battery within 2 months! YES!

Pleased to inform you that Mugen is working on a super extended battery! Thank You, God! So within the next two months I can lay my hands on that very good bad boy! (and I mean the phone itself). lol
I'd been thinking between the G2X and the sensation. The Sensation seems to be the perfect-pretty-much-has-all-that-I-need phone. G2X is pretty much the same, however, I want a 4.3 incher, I don't particularly care for stock Android, I currently have the HTC HD2 and quite like the Sense UI (and 3.0 just looks fantastic!). Plus the colors of icons (I’m not sure what the term is, I’m not exactly a tech head, you know) and such on the G2X, from videos I've seen...I don't know..it just looks cheap to me. *shrugs* sue me, I guess. HOWEVER!! The G2X has an extended battery with Mugen. Now for PDAs(this suddenly sounds like an out-dated term, no?), not having an extended batter is pretty much a dealbreaker! I hate the idea of my charge lasting only a few hours. Ideally, my phone should last me at least 2-3 days with moderate use and a full day with heavy use. No ifs or buts!
So anyways, moral of story:- Now I can go for the Sensation since there'll be an extended battery out soon!! yay!!
Dear [....],
Thank you for your email!
Yes, the larger battery for Sensation is under processing at the moment!
Will release within 2 months!
Please contact me if you need any additional info.
Best Regards,
Jan

any idea on capacity?

Further Update:-( I asked about the possible capacity and if there might be a protective case that will work with the phone after extended battery is inserted).
Dear [....],
Thank you for your email!
The larger size should be over 3000mAh, I don't think we will work on the protective case for this model, I need to ask our marketing team!
Because our holster sales not really good, so we only have 3 models for the holster at the moment!
Please contact me if you need any additional info.
Best Regards,
Jan

"should be over 3000mAh"

This is good news. Have had my Sensation for a few weeks now and am looking for an extended battery.
Now if I can wait that long.... I mean I REALLY need one.

maybe you can get the chichitec or anker in the meantime. If I had the senstion now, I would.

should be over 3000mah, hmm.. keeping fingers crossed for that.

NOOB QUESTION: I have never bought a 3rd party battery. i found this one on mugen's site
http://mugenbattery.com/htc-sensation-extended-battery.htm
its 1800mAh. Is that going to be much better than the 1500 stock battery?
is quality an issue with lithium batteries?

I have had the mugen 1800mAh battery for about 3 weeks and it is better than stock, by how much?, tough to answer because i use my phone differently each time I turn it on.
For example, one time i might play a few rounds of field runners and angry birds with some texts thrown in plus a few calls, next time i might just check email.
as a guide only for my use i was getting roughly 12 to 14 hours on stock, now i get about 15 hours or so..not a huge improvement but any improvement is better than none.

The reason I like the Sensation is that it is 4.3" yet still thin and sleek. With CHICHITECH 1900 battery my Sensation easily last more than a day without much tweak, and it doesn't require any special battery cover or alter the thickness of the device. There really isn't any need to use a super thick battery to make the Sensation last for 2 days, that ruins everything.

You know, I've had my Sensation for 2 weeks now and Granted I have Android Revolution 1.1.8 on it, but haven't had any bad battery issues. Although, it seems to eat the most power while I'm sleeping. But I'm pretty sure that has to do with my backup. But it hasn't bugged me at all. The phone's battery definitely lasts me the whole day and then I charge up at night.
Are you guys really getting so little battery time that a bigger battery is necessary? Cause I definitely get about 18-20 hours before I hit 20%-ish.

Yes definitely necessary. Don't know how you manage to have that much up time. Well I know I'm a heavy user but still even if I was not I know I would not achieve that much on time. Not unless I started disabling things like background sync and other stuff like turning screen brightness down.
Hmmm.... Maybe your sensation is running on both cores of the dual core processor. Lol

invest in tasker. i did and i really can't be any happier. not only does it do a lot of stuff that i want automatically but it makes my battery last a lot longer. i have my phone set to auto sync every 15 minutes and i have my display turned down to 40% unless i open specific apps and tasker will turn the display up under certain conditions. it really has helped me get a lot more time out of my battery so you may want to try that first instead of waiting to invest $50+ in an extended battery

I will have check tasker out. Thanks.
This is my third android device and it seems with each upgrade I am always tryingto find new ways to extend my battery life. Pretty sick of it actually. I would like to by a phone and let it do what its suppose to do with out me tweeking and hacking. This is the first time I considered buying an extended battery vs messing with battery saver and task killer apps that actually end up preventing your phone from doing as it should in the first place.
Sorry done venting. Tasker looks like it may be the diamond in the rough. Thanks for the info.

chichitec, go with it for now if you need extended battery life. I did many battery cycle and tests with the 1900mah battery and results as follow: 44+ hrs for light users. 30hrs+ for medium and power users roughly 16-20hrs battery life.

Definitely a good question. I have the O/C daemon running 1.72GHz in OnDemand mode, and while the screen is off 276MHz.
I have 3 GMail accounts that sync contacts, calendars and email. I have 1 IMAP email account set to check every 5 minutes during peak hours and every hour during off peak hours. I have Titanium Media Sync set to backup all my pics and Ti Backup files to my FTP server whenever there's a change. I have SMS Backup+ set to wait 3 minutes after each SMS and back it up. I have WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS on at all times. I'm also using Chainfire 3D OpenGL drivers. I'm on stock screen brightness settings as they work well. I have my Facebook account synced as well. I'm about to add Google+.
So I have a lot going on. HOWEVER, I've removed a lot of HTC stuff I didn't care about:
Not using Rosie or Sense UI stuff (other than the lock screen). I've removed all the bloatware crap like HTC Hub, HTC stocks, HTC sync, etc... I've removed HTCs navigation crap and removed any applications I'll never use like Twitter and Peep and all that other junk. I'm using ADW with a static wall paper.
Hint: Sense UI and all its animated crap as well as live wall papers eat battery power like crazy. Even if your screen is off, that stuff is still processing stuff in the background. This is why when you're using the stock *everything* this 1.2GHz dual core phone runs like a Droid X. LOL Slooooooow.
Once I got rid of that crap and put ADW on, my phone became the super fast power-sipping monster it is now. Rare is the case of any lag or stuttering. Games fly and look fantastic. And everything works perfectly on my phone.
So there you have it... You can compare your setup to mine and tell me if you see where your phone's battery is getting drained like crazy.
EDIT:
By the way, I'm using Android Revolution 1.1.8 right now on the Unity v5 kernel.

Purchasing a Sensation?

Hi, I'm planning on purchasing an HTC Sensation now that I've gotten rid of my iPhone 4.
I do have some issues regarding the purchase. I've seen threads commenting on dust collecting under screen and a poor battery life. Are these issues common on the phone? And if they are, is it possible to clean out the screen when the issue occurs? I've heard about a 1900mAh battery so I guess that's a better fix for the battery.
I'm on a T-Mobile family plan with no data plan. If I purchase an unlocked Sensation, will T-Mobile automatically add a data plan to my line? This happened to me when I used my iPhone 4 I got as a present on my AT&T line.
Thanks!

Not had my phone for all that long so I can't comment on the dust under the screen issue yet. But for battery life there are a few things that can be done, if you root your phone you can get SetCPU and underclock your phone when it's screen is off to extend the battery life or get Juice Defender, which disables wifi and data when the screen is off but turns them back on every 15 minutes to allow it to sync and will then turn them off again to save battery.
But even without a rooted phone, although the battery life certainly isn't good it will just about get you through a long day. But obviously you can also get a 19000mAh battery or even a further extended one as well as an external battery that can charge your phone up providing you don't mind carrying one around.

Also, can the Sensation play flash videos natively? I've heard some mixed claims regarding that.

I have had the Sensation for quite some time now and I don't have one spec of dust under my screen. And battery life is good. It last me through the day but I bought the Anker 1900mAh battery because it is so cheap and so amazing lol.
I would recommend the Sensation to anyone.

Anker 10,000 maH battery......
I purchased the Anker 10,000 maH battery. I had to...... I use my phone all day long. So I really don't turn on my main computer everyday. Especially since I installed a terminal emulator on my Sense. Now I can correct code, and scripts on the fly. I can re-charge my phone 5 times with this brick. Fits in my shirt pocket, and it takes an hour from 10% battery to 100%. Not bad.....

I have an XE, great screen, no dust and good battery life.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium

Dust under the screen is a common issue, but it's only a lot more common than it should be - the number of Sensations affected is still a very low amount. The safest way to take care of it is to go through T-Mo or HTC and they'll clean it out. Trying to do it yourself will definitely void the warranty cause you'll have to dismantle the phone.
Battery can be terrible, but a chichitec, anker, or mugen 1900mAh battery along with a good rom/kernel/clockspeed combo fixes that. I'm on Android HD 3.x gingerbread with the stock kernel, clocked at 1.5Ghz when the screen is on, 768Mhz when it's off, heavy user and I can make it through the day. The other thing to consider is how you use the phone. The Super-LCD looks crazy crisp, and it is, sunlight visibility is great and color reproduction is nice - although it's no SAMOLED. Here's the problem though, it's a mega power drainer. If you listen to a lot of music on your phone or maybe stream Pandora comedy, you shouldn't have any issues. If you're an all-day facebooker or constantly texting/emailing, that screen will destroy your battery and I couldn't recommend the phone, as much as I love it Don't get me wrong, you could do it, but you'll probably need a spare battery or a charger with you.
With the 1900mAh battery, I can have the screen on constantly and texting/emailing/browsing for about 3 hours straight. If I keep the screen on and play games, 2 and a half hours. Not much difference even though one is a lot more intensive than the other. The S-LCD panel is a huge battery drain.

I haven't had any problems with dust under the screen.
Battery life great for the amount of time i use the phone everyday (screenshot attached).
If you're up for it i'd suggest you flash a custom ROM to use the full potential of the phone. Personally i like Android Revolution HD, but it's all down to personal preference. Try a few different ones and use what you like the most.

Hi guys!
First things first:
Happy New Year to everyone!
I'm thinking of an upgrade (from HTC Vision & iPhone 4S) and looking at Sensation as an option and I've got a few questions regarding that.
My main concern is it not to late to jump to a Sensation? are there good developers still around? I remember RMK jumped from G2 to sensation, and he's still here, how about others? Any rumors or plans to abandon Sensation? I'd imagine alot of them getting the new GN, I can't really be bothered, rather have an option between Sense and AOSP.
My other question would be is the hardware acceleration fully functional on current ICS roms?

It's "there" but it doesn't run very well. Barely feels like its on. Just wait a month or two, and stable ICS will be released.

Despite having GNexus I would recommend the HTC Sensation. Had it before gnex and it's very good phone. Had two small issues :
1) battery under heavy use drain fast - bigger battery recommended.
2) random ringtone/notification change (this could be related to 2.08.401.1 ROM, which isn't officially released, but is a test ROM).
Other than this is VERY good device and won't let you down.

Disappointing? Nothing . Only issue I had, was the "volume ghost", but after flashing 4.0.2 all OK. It's different device and as I was hard addict to Sense, I'm surprised how quickly get used to GNex. Love it

i have no dust on my screen yet. i buy it 3 month ago.
ps:i come from China.hah

The dust problem is annoying, but it's no problem to get a new phone when the first one has dust under the screen. The Akku is okey for one day full use, when you load it every night. When you need better akku there are good ones with 1900mAh, on Amazon Germany for example the one by Anker.

Thanks for the input everybody!
Regarding the data plan. I currently have a family plan with no data. When I purchase my Sensation on ebay or any other auction site, and then use my T-Mobile sim, will I automatically be added a data plan?

disable pen detection setting

i saw this features in some reviews. in the settings, it said that disable it can extend some battery life. but how much can it extend? is it noticeable?

l would like to know this too, I had it disabled but today I received my new S-pen (full size) for the Note 10.1 and in order to use, I have to have the original smaller pen pulled out to use the new one.
Hopefully it wont make a huge difference.

it can help to preserve some extra battery life, but not much.

Can't say I've noticed a big change since changing the setting but I've always for the past 5-6 (whenever they started using lithium ion batteries that do not have the memory effect) years been charging my device overnight.
I still get a days heavy use out of it too.

[Q] Can i flash another update on my d850?

I have a lot of troubles with my battery on my d850...
Like after 15 minutes of 10%bright and wifi just reading blogs, my battery on 100% got 96 %
I have a lot of problems some one can help me? I want to flash 10H or something like that on mu phone to get better battery life
Or some tips and tricks, what if i flash again my 10d to unroot and start on 0?

You can't flash any updates from the other variants. Wait until the bootloader gets unlocked so you can flash a few roms/updates/etc. Until then, we have to wait for att to push out an ota.

What a cruel world...

I am noticing a fair amount of battery drain though. I'm guessing it's the ridiculously high resolution screen.

That is 100% correct. QHD/2k screen was not needed and is the BIGGEST battery hog for this phone. Its a shame, this phone could have been the perfect device, but as strange as it sounds, the screen is just too good and came to soon.

It is a shame. I was getting significantly better battery life on my Oneplus.
Out of curiosity, what are people doing to increase battery life beyond things like lowering brightness, turning off wifi, bluetooth, etc. . . .

HELP - Nexus 5 or LG G2?

Hi guys.
I've been using my Galaxy S4 since May 2013 with no huge problems. However the last 2-3 months i've been experiencing a huge loss of battery life.
I have now come to conclusion that it is time to try out a new phone.
This is my demands:
- A screen close to the Galaxy S4 size which is 5"
- A battery life where I am able to not need to charge it as soon as i come home from school (mostly I am home at 3 o'clock and have to charge my phone at 5 on the good days)
- I need to have the option to install stock android (Cyanogenmod)
Right now I am trying to choose between the Nexus 5 and the LG G2 (same specs as Nexus, but a stronger battery)
What I would like to know is whether the battery life of the Nexus 5 will bother me or it is not really that big a problem? Or should i maybe consider a whole other phone? Price doesn't matter.
I use my phone non-stop for internet-surfing or music when i am on the bus. When including both the drive to and from school it is probably 2-3 hours in total. The rest of the day i only use it for regular use, like texting, calling etc.
I hope you will give me, your impression of the Nexus battery life and maybe an advice on which devices I should consider.
Thanks

Just buy G2, My Nexus 5 battery life is just not that good, G2 has better battery life and camera, the rest is on par, in my opinion G2 is a better deal

Hmm - well that was not the respons i had hoped to get. But it sounds like the criticism of the battery is justified?

Nexus 5 is an amazing device, but battery life is just not that great, I'm a moderate user, and I have to charge it two to three times a day, I've had G2 and Z1 too, they are little slower than Nexus (Nexus is the fastest android device out there), but they have better battery life, and camera, build quality too (shaky power button on Nexus reported by a lot of users including me).. Don't get me wrong, Nexus is still a great device, but in my opinion G2 is still better

Thanks for the reply. I feel like the users of the phone have more intel in how the device works, than the people doing reviews. So this helps me some more. Thanks.

Its also worth noting that many of us get t hours screen time a day without additional charges. 1 users review is not a cross section. You'll never get reliable advice in a device specific forum because usually the people with issues are the ones replying.

I'd take the g2

Look man, I don't have an issue, I'm using my Nexus 5 like it should be used (Wifi/Data always on, Auto brightness, 2 mail accounts, messenger, whatsapp, browsing), I'm not turning off Wifi or Data or anything, It's a smartphone, it should work for me, not the other way around.. With G2 and my usage, it could last for a day without any problem.. Z1 too
Nexus 5 is just not that good in battery department, great software, quick and stable updates, great low light camera capabilities, great screen (really good calibration) and outdoor visibility ...
So if you're not a heavy user, N5 will do just fine, If your like me, G2 will do a much better job

I've had 7 hours once. I've posted screenshots. In the past.
Heavy is a subjective term. But I would call 4 hours screen on heavy. Others may call 2 hours gaming heavy. You're not gonna get 4 hours intensive gaming, sure
I'm not dissing your opinion on the G2 being "better". I'm just saying I have had good experiences with my Not battery.

I am a heavy user as well which is why i find his "complaint" og the battery useful.
But also gret to see that some people can use the nexus without problems! Although it doesn't make my choice easier.
Right now i am also considering the G3 mainly because of the screen quality. I just don't know if i can live with the big screen. Its an important choice, all the opinions i can get will give me some more Intel on how big a problem the battery is. I would hate to buy the phone and find out that the battery is useless.

I was using LG G2 5 days ago. I sold it and bought Nexus 5.
I just can tell that the only con of Nexus 5 against LG G2 is the battery. There's a %30 battery size difference. It's not insignificant. I'm living it now. It's really hard to be adapted Nexus 5 battery life after LG G2.
But in all other conditions Nexus 5 is a better device than LG G2. This list includes camera quality too. LG G2 takes really good shots with adjusted light. But in a low light condition it changes. G2 has issues with low light. YYou can fix it with rooting by the way.
If you're using the phone too much, playing games, browsing etc... you must choose LG G2. But if you want stability, feasibility and efficiency your way is Nexus 5.
On the other hand G3 won't be an option for you. Same battery but bigger screen and resolution against G2. The battery life of G3 won't be too much better than Nexus 5. Moreover if you play games it may be worse.
If you don't bother with sizes go get a Nexus 6. It has just 0.5" bigger screen than LG G3.

If you value screen quality you would do well to avoid the G3. Resolution does not equal screen quality as that phone proves quite well. It's a lower end 2K panel which serves no real purpose other than to drain the battery life faster than the G2 its said to replace, as well as reduce performance and add to that phones heat issues.
I would get a g2 before a g3, though I prefer the N5 for the in hand feel and software. To me the G2 feels like a Samsung S4 in both hardware and software, take that as you will.
For the record I am one of those who consistently sees 5-7 hours SoT over 1-2 days on Kit Kat but I do adjust the phone's settings for longer battery life. Still testing Lollipop but so far so good.
