So I was charging my Sensation and 4 hours later it was on 72% and noticed in the battery log the line was starting to dip. So I then took the battery out of the phone and put it back in only to find its now fully charged.
Defective battery or is my phone reading the battery stats wrong?
Battery life has been lasting 8 hours with normal use which is terrible.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Second day with the battery. I ran it down today to the point where it shut off and wouldn't turn on. I charged it with the phone off for about 30 minutes and turned it back on. The charge was 54%. Did it really charge that fast?

I just checked mine and it shows that over the last 20 minutes mine has gone from 1-99% & that's just ridiculous.
Also it seems that even after 2.5 hours of charging with the phone off (first two times with the anker) it still doesn't turn the led to green

Same issue..
I have the same issue...ran Anker battery down and recharged for 5 minutes, battery widget showed 54% charge, the System Returned charge was like 5% so there is an obvious disconnect there. I get a green light if I charge for 3+ hours, just left it charging at work. Until we get the Sensation rooted and can reset the battery stats, this probably will remain an issue.
I guess you can temp root it and reset the battery stats but I'll wait for perm root.
I read somewhere in this forum that you have to configure the phone to somedegree to show the correct battery status, no idea how though

My Anker should be here in a few days. As you suggested, you guys just might need to reset the battery stats. So you'll know, I used a battery calibration tool and it worked great under temp root. With stock battery, my % would spike pretty quick one way or another....it did help give me more steady readings. No worries there....
I have a similar issue with the stock battery, if I'm charging and I restart it the battery % jumps.
Just charged up my new anker yesterday for about 9 hours. Popped it in this morning. I will do three full overnight charges and full dicharges and report back. My chichitec got the same conditioning and its lasting about 25 hours for me. We will see. Got this thing for 9.50 so it won't be the end of the world. Seems good so far. At 99% and had it off the charger for three hours. Phone call and some email and xda.
Once we get root ill be wiping the battery stats for sure though.

Use battery calibration app it wipes stats.

care to walk me through how to do this (not the temp root) so I can reset my battery stats?
I'm having this issue with my Chichitech battery. There's no damn way it's at 99% after letting it charge from 0% 3 hours ago.
Just got it in the mail today. Fully charged it and ever since I took it off the charger, (4 hours ago) It's still at 100% battery. Plugged it in and still gives me a green lit LED, indicating full battery. Best buy for the phone for only $20!

I got mine today.... Thats good news for me.
i just got mine also but um curious my charger has purple and blue lights.. my charger just went from purple to blue.. does that mean its full? because i dont think i will have a green light....
Yeah the op was referring to the phones led, the wall charger turns solo blue when finished.

well im just going to let this battery charge over night even though it shows its full just in case because it took only 1 hr
It's usually not good to overcharge a battery, but I doubt anything will happen.

Chichitech Battery stats first use
So after first charge, got around 15hour of use on one charge. Sorry about the pictures being blurry.
Voice use was about 3hr 4mins
Display was 1hr 11mins
Standby and cell use was 15hr 34mins or so. http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
Original HTC battery lasted about the same if I didn't use the phone alot, meaning i used like 1-2 hours of voice and 1-2 hour of display. Chichitech battery would last atleast 24 hrs on idle... http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/eek.gif
Recommend the battery for now, not sure if it will hold up after frequent recharges.
Battery recharged in about 2hr 50mins from 0-1% to 100%., double the time if using external charger that came with the battery since its only a 400ma charger. http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
HTC battery recharged anywhere from 3 to 4 hours on A/C power.
My new battery dies when it has 5% left i have been reading to calibrate it. What way should I calibrate the battery software or clockwork mod???? Thanks in advance i am rooted and am using AndroidRevolutionHD. I have used the battery calibration from the market but it seems like my battery is draining in 2% intervals. Is there any other software I could use or can what is your alls recommendation
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Calibrate it the old way. Let it completely die and then let it charge for 8-10 hours. Make sure the phone is off while charging. Do that twice and that should calibrate battery. Also look on the market for a battery widget that way you can find out what is draining your battery.

Hello and good weekend all!
I received a week ago an 1900 anker battery. After I charged it till 100% + about two hours I wiped battery stats and till now already did more than 5 full charge cycles but still when I reboot my phone the precentage drops about 10% (every cycle)

anyone? =\
Rebooting always drain the battery sometimes by a lot more than 10 %. Powering off and then turning on the phone again has a lesser impact in the battery.

the problem is that because of this my phone shuts down suddenly instead of regular "shutting down" process
I recently got a Sensation, flashed Inquisition, Sense Faux Kernel, undervolted about -50 to -75, and bought an 1900mA Anker battery, and after a few days my battery life can last almost the entire day. For example, yesterday it lasted 13 and a half hours with 2 hours and 30 mins display on (which was about 70% of total battery usage. I have brightness at about 40%. What really gets to me is how the battery drains really fast once it hits 20% or so.
I've attached my battery usage from being unplugged for a few hours.
try bricked kernel. it using 25mA when in sleeping mode no need of any apps

I used to have the same issues earlier.
The fast draining from 20% is because of
Improper battery calibration which needs some time to asjust(it took 6 cycles for me).this I can confirm you because once my phone switches off because of no power left and when I plug on the charger the battery percentage goes upto 15% in just 1 min also this fast 20% drain is always attributed with last longing 100% change ( I mean battery stays at 100% even you've used your phone like for 30min with screen on all the time)

I flashed Bricked kernel last night and unplugged my phone at 4am. Currently, after being on battery for 6 hours 48 mins my battery is down to 57% with only 15mins of actual use/display on...I have system tuner and battery widget and can provide logs if anyone would like to further assist me in pinpointing why my battery sucks.
Is there an app or process keeping your phone awake or using CPU in the background? System Tuner Pro can help you diagnose this.
Also, try a clean install of your rom, stick with stock kernel and check. Re-download your apps one by one from market, checking for a few hours after each.
It should be possible to get standby drain of 1-2% ans 1.5-2 days battery with moderate use I do.

Looks like attachment uploading is broken. Anyway, A few changes I've done have improved sleep time, but my phone still looks sad compared to my girlfriends iPhone 4s battery life (17 hours on, 2 hour usage, at 62%).
