I found that review a bit odd as other reviews say it has good battery life. What is the general consensus on it in this area, is the battery life good or bad?
Mine is not good. But I use it a lot. ! Like lasting for 8-9 hrs. But it did last for around a day when I didn't use it much

yeah dont get the battery thingy also.. engadget said its great and they say it awefull.. odd
How come they didn't include the different aspects of the Sensation's camera in the review? Weird..
The Arc & GS 2 could do almost a day on average use for me so I would like to see the same in the Sensation.
7.5 hrs and the battery is dead. :/

Not very heavy use for the first 3 hours. Screen was off with WiFi on. Then I used it quite heavily like for browsing and songs. But still it should have lasted for long. I had brightness on 100% aswell.Nexus one had battery life because I used it a lot aswell but it used to last around 18 hrs. I'll try turning off WiFi and other stuff when i don't need them and check how it goes. And with brightness on auto.

It's not another HTC where how good people's battery life varies from handset to handset irrespective almost of how much it is used? That some examples just for better than others?

Hows everyone doing on battery? I'm at 24h 0m 45s since last charge and at 20% seems to be normal for me as ive gotten similar results for the past week now.

It's about the same here. I've done 3 complete recharges and the battery seems to perform pretty well.

Ok I just got the Sensation and already own a DHD I am torn as to which one to keep. I love the Sensation but noticed the battery gets very hot compared to the DHD . I have read the forum and there is no solution to the hot battery yet.. So now I am torn between keeping the Sensation or the DHD. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
The sensation is dual core. Every dual core device gets a little bit warmer then single core devices.
If your hands are to soft to deal with it, change it back. ;-)
Btw. under normal use my sensation doesn't get really hot?!

I was playing a game on it when I noticed it. Did you get a different battery for yours? How do you like it so far?
In games that's a absolute normal behavior.
I ordered the chichitec 1900mah but it's not there yet.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk
Yes games will make it much hotter than under normal use because of the fact that they use much more power. As for battery life it is worse than most single core phone because of the fact that you have more to power. The ability to flash custom roms to the device will enable much more optimized roms. This will "hopefully" make batteries drain slower. Also if you look in the accessories section you will see a lot of suggestions on different batteries.

I had a Desire HD since release date and it was a great phone (best i've ever had) but then i won a Sensation from HTC Australia, so i thought i might as well use the newer phone and sell the DHD (which i've gotta do soon).
After using my Sensation for about 2 weeks , i'd have to say it is definitely a better phone. It's faster, has a brighter (& higher res) screen, the batter has been lasting longer and feels better in my hands. Although the DHD is still an awesome phone with heaps of great feature.
If i was you i'd keep the Sensation and sell the DHD. Unless you need the extra money then sell the Sensation & keep your DHD

Thanks I will take a read through.
The Desire HD is still a capable and modern phone. If you have any issues with the Sensation then I would say return it. You can always get it again later on (or get any other, newer phone to come out in that time). You might even be able to score a better price if you purchase it later. So, again, if you have an issue with the Sensation now, then return it and buy it again later, especially when development matures a bit.
If you can't return your Sensation and have to sell it as used instead, then I say just keep the Sensation.

Thanks the sensation is actually brand new just got it unlocked and played a game on it to check the battery heating issue issue I was reading on it.
Get the Anker 1900 mAh battery for sensation from ebay for $10 and it doesn't get hot like the htc battery.
Ok I've just realize watch way to much sci fi..... Looking at the thread title all I could think of was Sensation or Dial Home Device lol (Stargate reference).

Due to the fact that the Sensation is rootet there is no question. Generally it is better than the DHD apart from the "heat".
So you have a newer faster phone

For those sensation users that have put in XE battery (i.e. 1730mAH instead of sensation 1560mAH one) how much extra battery time have you found ?
i personally don't have a XE battery but a friend of mine says he gets like 2-3 hrs more than with original one under same usage. moderate that is.

My anker is great . One it hits 99% it takes a while to hit 100% but it does... I think it is more due to the faulty sensation battery meter.

I've had my HTC Sensation XE for a while now and I'm looking to buy a new battery for it as the stock one isn't exactly great. I was just wondering whether I should get an Anker 1900mAh battery or a Saner 1900mAh battery. I've heard they're both good but just wanted to know if there was any big stand out points between the two.

Well I ran my phone down today and got 3 hours 7 minutes with max brightness, screen on the entire time, phone actively being used the entire time. Didnt take a screenshot but those were the exact numbers.
I'm recommending Anker, it's much better than stock, but there is one thing... This batter does not have chip needed to secure phone from overheating

I've used both as my anker fried out but that's was just bad luck I guess, both the banker and saner seem to have identical battery life, I can't really tell the difference
"use the thanks button every time you get an answer, even if its one you don't like! you ungrateful **stard"- Xda 'you are a noob video'
One thing tho whit those batteries no sensors to tell real temp of battery :/ but if you want a reallly good one but expansive : Mugen.

Thanks guys
Just one last thing, the Saner says "The battery has an integrated microchip, Over-charge/discharge protection, over-current protection" whereas on the Anker it says "Built-in protection circuit to assure safety under all circumstances."
Is there any difference between the two of them?
I currently use my 1900 Anker battery and the performance has been amazing. I am currently running shnizlon's sense 4 rom and most of the times I can easily get through a day to a day and a half with moderate use. I normally have the screen set to it's lowest brightness level and 2g on instead of 3g/4g. I noticed this helps battery performance greatly. I highly recommend it.

what do you mean? battery will overheat and how?
+1 for Anker. Bought my Sensation from marketplace and have been using the Anker in it since day one. No problems with overheating and battery life is excellent. Gets me through an entire day no problem.
If you are concerned about the temp sensors, there are HTC batteries for other devices that will fit. I believe the EVO 3D battery works and is in the range of 1700mah. Take a look at this thread for a real good discussion:

Well music/videos/games drains battery no matter what.
Anker suppose to have better quality and ~25% more capacity then the stock battery.
Hope that answered your concern

If you play games you have about 13 hours, if you use your phone normally i have about 48 hours.
normal usage in my device and lasts for 2 days
sometimes 3 days
My stock battery was horrible, I honestly got maybe four hours of use out of it! Since then I was after extreme battery life. I tired Anker because so many people love it but it just didn't give me the battery life I was looking for so I purchased a Mugen 3800mah battery. Now I get around three days of use before I have to charge. If I'm heavily using, I get two days. This was what I was looking for. Now, I no longer worry about my battery life. It's really made a huge difference for me. But before that, on stock battery, my battery was awful. Must have been something wrong with the battery to only give me a few hours of use.
