Mine is more like 7%/hr, which is totally unacceptable, I have all sync turned off, except exchange... with my HD2 running Froyo, I could do 2%/hr with the same settings.... I am still trying to figure out what's draining my battery...
I have also noticed high data usage.. I've tracked it down to T-mobile's AppPack. I've never used the program but it's constantly draining away my data... Is there a way for me to remove the app or disable it?
Thanks!
Get Watchdog from the Amazon appstore to find out what's draining your battery. I believe it costs, but it is a thoroughly useful app
Don't think we can remove carrier apps until we have root...that said, you could try adb pull, but I'm not sure whether it will have any effect. May need root for ab pull, in which case we can't get rid of carrier apps :/ sorry

On my hd2, it was like 1% on idle on android, here it seems to be more , like 3-4% on idle.

its funny how some people report 0% battery drain in 9 hours and other get 3-4% drain per hour.....
please post how many charge cycles you went through, its important.
I am personally using HD2 and battery live is amazing. and its only 1250
this has the best battery life ive ever saw. I'm in 0ma all the time the phone yesterday lasted from 530 am til 7 pm at night with a lot of text and playing games like homerunbattle 3d. If you play that game you know how much of a battery hog it is. Best battery life. Battery was soo good i barely charged it went to work with a 40% battery and it easily made it through a day with moderate texting all day!!
Gotta say... coming from a TBolt this thing is like sex in a tin can.
Idle is 1-2%/hr probably. I would get 10%+ on my TBolt at times... if not more. It was bad.

Darn it...
Seems like I'm the only person with excessive battery drain...at 7%/hr....
Just wondering, when you go into battery stats and extend the graph, does your phone stay awake when the screen is off?...
Mine seems to be awake all the time even though the screen is off.
I got Watchdog yesterday, I didn't notice any apps with high CPU usage...
Me too.. I lost about 8%/hour in 2g standby mode... Totally unacceptable comparing to my previous galaxy s...
Hope next FW update will improve it ..

today is the first time I'm having issues. Only 4 hours since charge & down to 40%. The Awake time shows as 99% of Up Time. Is that normal??? Also, anytime I look at the task manager it shows wifi calling running even though I have it shut off
I've got an Asian model sensation (ie. 3g and not 4G model ) and I find my battery isn't really calibrated properly so its hard to comment on average percentage drop per hour. I've recharged my battery 3 times already and i find the battery stays at 100 percent for around 30 minutes of constant on web browsing, then it will drop at a rate of 10 percent every half an hour with constant use and will fluctuate.
To report on a rough usage breakdown, with all background syncing disabled, I managed to get 10 hours standby before my phone dropped below 10 percent. This was with 5 hours of screen being constantly on doing mainly web browsing on 3g and one 15 minute phone call using my wireless Bluetooth handsfree.
I can report the battery life with constant usage is better than what i got with ny hd2. Running android ROM, it used to do around 3 hours of constant web browsing before the battery will fall under 15 percent. In standby my hd2 used to drop around 1% per hour, which was quite excellent.

Those are the stuff I'm talking about, it appears that one of the settings and/or app is constantly using the processor, which causes the phone to stay awake even when the screen is off... I just haven't figured out which app is causing the problem.. I am suspecting it is one of the Tmo apps.
I'm looking at a full battery life of 11 hours, 49 minutes with moderate usage (some calls, decent amount of texting, some games). I use the app/widget "Battery Left" to do its own independent assessment of battery usage and life.
So far the battery reminds me of my early days with my Nexus One -- before I had it rooted and optimized and undervolted. Once rooted and optimized, I saw a good 50% increase (at least in battery life).
If you'd like some relief right now (before we get it rooted), I recommend Juice Defender on the market. It turns off data (among other things) every now and then to save battery, and with this I can squeeze out 18+ hours with moderate usage.
how are you checking the percentage? when I looked in the settings menu, all I see is a long green battery bar, no actual numbers. Or are you all estimating from that?
I don't monitor my standby time, but I'm sitting at what looks like 40% after 13 hours of fairly moderate usage during the day, I'm impressed.
Ive been getting about 9 hours out of a full charge. Had to put my phone on the charger today at around 4 o clock because it was dead. I dont have much more info other than that. I will keep an eye on my processes over the next few days. I have only 3-4 cycles on the battery though.
To check the percentage of the battery life u have to download some battery widget in the market.. I.e smart battery monitor or battery percentage s.th like that...
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
You can also check battery level by opening Phone and dialing *#*#4636#*#* and then select Battery information.
I'm using Juice Defender and I have to say it really does the job : my Sensation lasts More than one day and a half (30min calling a day, texting, Android Market, Angry Birds...). Without the app running it would last a day (Angry Birds drains...).
Juice Defender says it is increasing battery to 1,53% and it is very close from reality.
I've been owning the phone from 24th of May.
I think it's crazy how many people are downing the battery life on the Sensation. I used my phone a bit today. Off the charger at 10AM, used GPS to go to work with Bluetooth activated as well. Forgot to turn them both off while at work. I used my phone like ever 5 minutes checking Twitter updates(also weather/news/facebook/email/etc updates are automatically updating as fast as the app allows. So quick updates for all my apps, GPS and bluetooth turned on all day. Home around 5, watched a few episodes of South Park on Netflix with my phone. Read some news. Played a few different games for about 5-10min each just trying out new games. It's now almost 1AM the next day, and I'm above 40% battery life. I manage my screen brightness, that may be the only thing I remembered to manage well today. While outside/in car, full brightness, inside, as low as possible.
It's shocking to me when I see threads of how the battery life stinks. I'm using the stock battery, I don't even seen the need of getting a larger battery because this already gets me through a day full of activity. Anyone else find the battery life on this device, quite handy? Mine is rooted, but it's stock ROM. I'm also using a skin posted by a member of our forum, the transparency. I'm running the stock T-MOUS(why is it called tmous..? are people that lazy to spell out t-mobile?) ROM, because I accidentally deleted a few apps I discovered I needed back, and did not do a backup. Oh, and I'm also using the battery mod, for the battery icon in my notification bar.
I guess I'm just praising the battery life, is all
I have only had my sensation for about 5 days and battery life is amazing! Im still stock too.. I came from an evo 4g rooted running cm7 and or miui and battery life doesn't come close to being as good as my sensation. Not only is battery life awesome, this phone is awesome. I moved to Southern California a couple weeks ago and Sprint out here is horrible.. so I switched and couldn't be happier. Plus I like this phone was better than the evo series. Battery life is sweet!

You would have to post a screendoor shot of your battery usage and screen on time to completely determine how much the phone was used and how long the screen was on.
Bluetooth and GPS don't use any battery or have low usage (depends on the chipset because some completely turn off) during standby since they're not being used at all.
So we can all praise our phones for having good battery life, but it all depends on usage. If you don't use your phone a lot (you could turn on your screen every 5 minutes but at the end of the day have only like 45 minutes of screen on time and like 70% battery left.) Then you get good battery life. Use your phone a lot and quite simply battery life sucks.

I think it can largely depend on how you use your phone, not just how often or for how long. For example my Fiance also has the Sensation and on her first charge she got 3hrs52minutes before hitting 10% battery. Since then she has only gotten ~2hrs each day now that she has Twitter and Facebook for Sense accounts set up.
That's not good. There's gotta be something wrong with either her phone or something. 2 hours of battery life warrants an exchange.

The phone lasts longer than 2hrs, that's 2hrs of the screen being on. my sensation get's about the same. This is with Gmail on Autosync and Twitter/Facebook for Sense accounts enabled too.
If I do what u did, my batt will be flat in 6 hours. Somethings just not right with my sensation.

You can go by statistics and on screen time and what not. but I just got home from work, and I literally used my phone for about 2 hours straight calling carriers for a customer. I'm above 80%. So from 9AM-4PM, only saw a 20% drain. Once again, keeping BT and GPS on just to see how it goes. ALL of my autosyncs are once again, on, and set to the most frequent can be.
Compared to any other stock phone, this is amazing. Compared to my Cyan N1 and my Cyan NS, it's not a huge difference. Although, at this rate I may give the lead to the Sensation, since I'm leaving all these extra features on throughout the entire day.
good
I get two to three days out of my Sensation, and I'm a relatively heavy Internet user... don't phone much.
At first I wasn't getting great mileage - having to re-charge after only 10 hours or so, but did two things to improve it dramatically...
First, charge the battery once using the following method:
1. charge battery to 100% and leave on charger for an extra hour
2. unplug the cable, turn off* the phone, and plug the charger back in. leave charging for another hour.
3. unplug the phone, turn it on for two minutes, turn the phone back off*, and plug in the phone again. leave charging for another hour.
* when I say "turn off", I mean completely, without fastboot. so either disable fastboot before switching off, or turn off the phone and pull the battery then put it back in.
Second:
Turn off automatic screen brightness, and set the brightness manually to what you need. Ideally, I'd like to have an auto-screen brightness adjustment that automatically sets it, say, 25% lower than what the built-in function does.
That's pretty exceptional. I usually get 13-14 hours with 5+ hours of screen time before I'm at 20%. Using the chichitec battery, btw.
My chichitec battery went 18 hours yesterday before it got to 10% and I charged it. That was with a lot of web browsing, some phone calls, music, games. Id say, medium-heavy usage.
Matt
Same here I have had several Android phones with different carriers and this is hands down the best, on par with the iPhone I had previously with Verizon. No problem getting through the day with Exchange and 2 IMAP accounts and heavy phone use, the only mod is I set screen brightness, battery is stock.

no one is complaining i watch sparticus on netflix and game of throne on hbo go for 5 hrs straight while facebooking random hoes . and i am out of battery..
we are complaining that the 4g drains the phone while on idle.
this is the best battery life i've ever had on a phone. i can't complain at all... i even have gps on and i could never do that before. lol!
Guys, having GPS on doesn't use any battery. It only uses battery when it is active. So for most of you 99% of the time your GPS is off aka standby or whatever you wanna call it.

One reason many people complain about bad battery life is that it seems some Sensation models are actually faulty. Best evidence: TechRadar review.
http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/htc-sensation-943466/review?artc_pg=9
UPDATE: We've finally managed to get our hands on a new review model of the HTC Sensation, and the good news is the battery life is definitely improved.
It seems that a combination of data-hungry applications and a slightly dodgy model caused the odd readings from before, although we're not entirely convinced the above scenario isn't one power users will face, which is why we've left it in.
But in normal use, and by that we mean sending 42 texts, spending 49 mins on the phone, watching an hour and bit of video and using the music player constantly, plus a few minutes spent using GPS to track ourselves and browsing the internet for roughly 45 mins, the battery pretty much lasted the day, although it was often in the yellow zone come 11PM.
However, what was more impressive (and a relief) was the sleep state of the HTC Sensation. Where before the phone would get very hot and start spewing out battery life in our pocket for no reason, if you leave the phone locked up for around 10-15 minutes on our new model the power consumption dropped to almost nothing.

Could you elaborate on, "normal use"? How long has your screen been on? How much gaming, web browsing, and phone calls?
Matt
Also, for future posts, it may help to be more specific. Your post is simply titled 48 hours, then the info in your post is just ROM, kernel and launcher. Probably should have called it 48 hr battery life and as the other poster said, provided specifics as to what you call "normal use."
charged to full and unplugged before sleep.
woke up, did a bunch of fiddling/browsing for half an hour. turn on screen periodically probably once in an hour. Browse feedly a few times during the day. No gaming, few minutes worth of phone calls. same thing next day.
3/4g antenna is ON, (no battery savers running). I also only run one widget (smoothcalendar) and black background. Exchange activesync (tons of work email) and gmail sync are the only ones in use.
Juicing up another charge now and installed latest insertcoin with smartass cpu governer so may even get more this time around. I'll keep a more detailed log this time, but suffice to say I'm very happy right now. I hate charging.

I last charged after the Panthers game Saturday night. Its almost dead now.
I use mostly phone text and email with some game play etc.
I'm on 2 days 11 hours 15 minutes....time to charge
Ugh. Maybe its because of the number of Widgets I use (one per page/sense) I only get a day, consider I unplugged 3 hours ago and im at 75. Oh yeah, been using unity kernel

OK since yesterday's charge:
been on battery for 19 hours
53 minutes of phone (i usually never use much but had conference calls)
1 hour 33 minutes of display on
it's at 50%
I get 1/2 a day if im lucky,quite often use it as a usb drive for my head unit when i drive so it gets a little charge with they way i drive Play iMobsters hourly,Also play SOG and make alot of calls.My hero lasted me about the same with the same use
I can not get more than 8-12 hours on any modified ROM. I have not tried insertcoin but 48 hours verse 8-12 hours is ridiculous. I don't have the 1900mA battery but the ratio should be the same, meaning i should be able to get 1520mA/1900mA X 48 hour = 38.4 hours. Something is wrong on my part. My standby rate is like 8-10% per hour and that is without installing all my apps.
To the original poster, after flashing the insertcoin ROM did you calibrate the battery and how many cycles have you gone through to get to 48 hour usage?
I only went through one cycle after re-calibrating. You should try a 2.3.4 ROM, I'm guessing that's what's making the biggest difference.
I'm on 42 hours now and it's got two yellow bars now. Would have got a lot more if I didn't talk on the phone, which I normally don't.
33% display: 1hr48m
35% voice calls: 54m
17% cell standby
15% phone idle

It appears that you barely use your phone. I usually have 4-5 hours on my screen for some 80% of the usage and I get 15-20 hours a day on my chichitec 1900mA/Hr battery. The battery SHOULD last awhile if not in use.
A 2.3.4 ROM you say? Wont CM7 be a 2.3.4 ROM? Ill give that a go when it comes out and is stable.

Batteries tend to do so, especially if you are constantly playing music or videos and even games without having them connected to a power source. The constant draining of a battery can do a number on them.
Oooooor if you are on the newest rage 3.6 rom, it eats battery like a mofo.

I've been at work and had my battery at like 80% and started streaming radio on it for about 4 hours and ended up having like 30% after that 4 hours... I'm on Reactive's ROM. I wouldn't be able to have a phone that lasts only 4 hours because i'm constantly on the move and have no time to charge it.
The only time i've had such short battery life is when my battery had fried and i needed a new one. But this was on my Nokia 5530. I've had the sidekick since it first came out btw and no issues. Try recalibrating the battery though... maybe that'll help

Ymmv, just installed back to basics, lasted all day with it heavy usage too. I mean youtube, music, twitter, texting and a few calls. I can definitely say it is not my battery.
I'm with eurohomie... I just installed RAGE3.6 yesterday. Battery was at 22% when flashed. After configuring everything, battery was down to 1% when I plugged it in. Then I charged it overnight. I did not clear battery stats or anything.
It has been unplugged for 14h41m18s now, and currently still has 71% left!!! I didn't use it that much today, but WiFi has been on the whole time, used about an hour talk-time, and used about 2 more hours reading internet news. It says WiFi used 30%, Display used 33%, Standby 18%, Voice Calls 10%, Idle 9%.
This is exceptional, however, with any ROM I always get about 20-hours of heavy use or 35-hours light use. Even with GPS navigating or playing 720p movies, it lasts over 4 hours strait.

Is this from constant use? Or just checking it for texts every now and then. Because my sidekick is exactly like that, but its usally around when I flashed a new rom, so I just use battery calibration and that sets me off right.

I can't answer for him, but it is for me. In the first 30% of the battery dies really fast. The rest goes a bit slower.I'd drop from 100 to 80% battery from just watching a few videos online on netflix, under 45 minutes. After that my phone runs sluggish around 60% as if it was limiting how much cpu power it is using. I can compare the performance to my old g1 when its running at 60% battery. Constant use on that rom will only get me 8hrs total, 10hrs at the most on standby.
Just flashed back to basics to act as a control, battery drain is less than rage.

I can definately understand what you are saying. I can relate to that also. With my sidekick it is usally around 50-60% that I start getting the most force close errors, and freezing, and if im listening to music, and start browsing the web, I can most certainly know that if I go to a heavy website then it will freeze the UI and music will keep playing. But, if I pull out my beats cord, then give it a minute (sometimes I just have to hold down pwr) the launcher will reboot (like an iPhone respring), and will still be slow so I still end up having to reboot. I can most definately say that the Sidekick 4G is a BAD phone.

Is this from constant use? Or just checking it for texts every now and then. Because my sidekick is exactly like that, but its usally around when I flashed a new rom, so I just use battery calibration and that sets me off right.

Also remeber battery temp plays a factor to battery life 80 to low 90 seems to work well with proloning battery life

Yea, when it's that constant use that's what always kills it. And for you other post battery temp is a major factor in this, I can honestly say if your battery is more than 100 degrees its gonna wayy faster, and if its more than 100 degrees a day... it's time for a new batt, slim. I KNOW that will fix this problem COMPLETLY.
How often you charge your phone? I have to do it every single day! And if I play for an hour or so some 3d hard game... maybe even twice a day!
I charge it two times per day.
Heavy usage.

Depends on Rom and kernel. With LS and bubba about 5h screen on, with Carbon and 3.4 about 1,5h....
HTC One S (S4) | Carbon~HALO | 3.4.49_kernel | S-OFF
I charge about once a day, no more than 6 hours charging, and I dont usually let my phone die.I use my phone casually, web browsing, facebooking, instagram, flipbook. 3D gaming will drastically drain your battery.
I have not been charged yet, I have it always tied to an electrical outlet.
Kernel 3.4.49, PacMan 23.0.0 made my day. Nice rom, but hungry on battery.
i have it hooked up to my body so that it's always charging.
i got the idea from watching the Matrix.

Haha, very funny indeed.
I just ordered this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310674792440
Yeah, its cheap, but my friend bought smth like this for 50$ and still have problems with it. I wll try and post.
My Htc is villec2 (C2) and when I am playing 3d game, with perfomance governor for both CPUs and slight overclock for the GPU ... well, I lose 10 percent battey for 20 minutes.
Every second day, 3G is on all day and I always wait until the battery is at about 1-3%.
I keep 4g off unless I'm using it most of the time, and I try to recharge before getting below 20% to extend the long term life of the battery, but if I'm using it normally I can go 2 days easily. Screen on time is probably about an hour and probably about 40hours since unplugged. Sense roms don't see exact screen on time apparently.
When I'm using it in place of my laptop for a few hours of browsing I get one work day out of it. Unplug it in the middle of the night when its charged, maybe midnight and I use it very little at work. By lunch its at 95% then an hour screen on brings it down to 80% then end of day its like 75% and I web browse for a few hours until its down to 20% and I plug it in.

Thats I thing very good battery life.. What about the screen brightness ?
With my phone I think is not so bad but when 3d game is lounched... WOW I think battery will drop from 100 to 10 for less then 1 and a half hours!
Here are screenshots from today. Wish I could see screen on time.
I only use real intense games on occasion but I do play words with friends every day. Not sure how much time total though.

I will post my screens tonight. I think your battery is acting nice! Last night I lost 30% for 2h 30min pllaying Angry Birds with screen brightness to low! I am happy with that too!
1x a day or 1x in 2 days. Depends on if i have to use mobile data if i am away on weekends or i can stay at home with WLAN only. I am looking forward to CyanogenMod when the 3.4 issues are fixed because even Sense 5 is somehow battery hungry.
I normally charge daily, but now with the newer unstable roms I find the battery to drain faster (so less usage each day)
Here are my screenshots. The big battery drops are while playing Angry Birds and Beach Buggy Blitz.
