So I'm enjoying my overall experience with my Sensation but it's really not cutting it in the battery department. I've upgraded from the G1 and the battery life isn't any better. The G1 was great for a while but after being 2+ years old the battery would barely last a full day with minimal usage and every setting off, I could no longer take it. It became so frustrating I had to upgrade for mostly that reason, not to mention the lack of features, and the fact I've had the phone since launch lol. Needless to say, I feel like I'm having the same battery issues as before. For instance I took the phone off the charger this morning and started reading some post here on XDA via the app and after 1 hour and 36 minutes my battery life went from 100% to 67%. I love the phone and while yes battery life is important to me I almost refuse to handicap my phones full potential for it. What should I do?

Search here and in the Q/A forum about getting better battery life and what to expect out of your battery. There are a ton of discussions already with a lot of helpful information for you.
Remember if your device is new... it takes a number of discharge/recharge cycles before your battery gets good life.

plenty of battery threads already.. 1:36 with a 33% battery drain would extrapolate to >4.5 hours of display-ON time. Most ppl consider that pretty (or even VERY) good. If you are going to play the "won't handicap" card so soon, probably no hope for you except get some other phone for which it is easier to get a monster/fat battery.
I came from a G1 as well. I think battery life is MUCH better on the Sensation.

The only way to get through a whole day of moderate-heavy use with this phone (and most Android phones) without crippling it is to carry a spare battery or plug in the phone throughout the day when near AC power... Sad but true..

I'm with you. I can get 8 hours out of the phone if I only have 2 hours of on screen time. My average, with medium to heavy use, is 6 hours and change with 3 - 3 1/2 hours on screen time. And this is with the screen brightness down to 75%. There is no way there is 7 hours straight of on screen time with this thing IMO and from experience.
NOTE: I am piggy backing, but i am not sure if the person is referring to 7 hours on screen time or 7 hours in general.

I'm pasting a post I posted in another thread about my battery life:
Ok... I have a total of 3 OEM batteries. One that came with my phone and 2 other spares. The one that came with my phone is about 3 weeks old, My newest one is only 3 days old and the middle child one is about a week and a half old. I basically charge them fully then wait until it drains fully and turns off before switching the batteries.
Someone said that after a while battery life gets better. I am proof of that. When I first got my phone I was lucky if it lasted 8 hours and amazed if it lasted 10! Last night my 3 week old battery lasted over 14 hours with moderate use! The middle battery that's a week and a half old lasts about 10 with moderate use (same like the first, only getting about 8 in the beginning) The newest one (still going through the 5 charge conditioning cycle) only lasts about 6-7 hours tops.
I dont know if it helps(or hurts) but since I always have an extra battery with me I never half charge them(especially during the first 5 or 6 charges). I always will let it drain then switch
I moved from the HTC Evo 4G and batterylife is much much better with the sensation. Light to moderate use after a 12 hour day i have between 20 and 40 % left. I ordered 4 extra batteries and xtra chargers so i would have extra full batteries at home and at work but i havent needed them. I was so used to the evo that i wish i would've waited on ordering all the batteries... I just assumed it would be about the same...Way better than the evo though. I have friendstream (twitter and facebook) syncing every 3 hours, weather 3 hours and at unlock, mail/calender syncing.( no news, no tell htc, no android backup) i was amazingly surprised. yay sensation!

I have specifically held off from getting another battery cuz I wanted the original one to settle. Now that I have a decent idea of the life span I will look into a new one. I am not sure if I want to by the off brand 1800 one every is talking about or get raked over the coals for an HTC one. decisions...
here's what I've found after having the Sensation since day one. If you are at 2.5 hours of screen on time in the battery stats, chances are your battery is below 30%, and most likely below 20%, no matter what you were doing with the phone (barring constant video playback). I average about 2-3 hours of display on time each day, and I get about 14-16 hours consistently. I sync gmail, email and facebook, pulse and weather auto update. I use wifi and wifi calling constantly.
I set my screen brightness to about 40%, give or take.
I can live with this as it gets me from 5am when I go to work until when I go to bed, which is really all I expect.
I will look into the evo 3d battery though, as that seems like a logical replacement given its higher capacity and compatibility with the Sensation.

Even though the G2 has a smaller battery, the G2 will have better battery life because the CPU is clocked at 800 Mhz as opposed to the 1000 Mhz of the MT4G.

I am seeing remarkably bad battery life. I am coming from the MyTouch 3G and that device lasted longer then the 4g.
Every six hours the device needs a charge.
I talked for 17 Mins and used it lightly this morning. Unplugged at 7:30 AM back on the charger at 1:30 PM. This has been the same way since I got the phone. I have also swapped the battery for a new one as well and got the same results. I cannot imagine that it matters but this is the purple device.
Perhaps I have a defective phone? Is that possible / likely?

Weird, while I'm not getting quite as bad a battery drain as you, I have noticed an increase since I've turned off any auto sync option that I don't require, which is pretty much all of them.
The first day I had my phone it was almost dead in ~12 hours with moderate/light usage... it's been lasting longer and longer every day since... yesterday i got ~22-24 hours out it i think and i charged it finally at like 15%. This wasn't the heaviest usage but i'd say it was at least medium as i didn't use it at all for about 5 hours but then I had it on wifi calling and using it for angry birds and stuff for quite a while later in the day.

We are getting about a days worth of heavy use, mostly on wifi. Can get 2 days worth of moderate use.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
My friend can only use it for less than a day..
heavy user
I only manage a day at best - no better than my legend was actually!
I got this yesterday, was playing on it several hours.. and battery life is about 18-20hrs for heavy usage. Wall charging is quick, about 2hrs max charge.
It gets warm easily when accessing web. Is this normal on HTC Android smartphones?
Yes its very normal :=)
Just got mine for almost a week. The battery lifetime is 2-3 days (normal use). I hope though that after a few complete charges it will rise to 3-4 days...
Can testify to the same experience of warming up (especially when using wi-fi).
At first, the battery life of the HTC ChaCha was really crap! It couldn't even last 1 day (heavy use). But now I have this feeling that it is getting a little bit better after a few full charges. And it also recharges very quickly.
And what do you mean by "full charge"?
2hrs or more?
I'm not sure how ya'll are getting more than 12 hours of battery from this phone. See my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171136
Well, it lasts for me longer than 12hrs
I expected to have around 48hrs with it.
If awake time is how much is it up after charging, it say: 18hr 57min. Battery left: 44%.
So those of you getting a FEW days out of this, do you ever turn it off (say at night) or is the handset always on/idle?

I ditched the Captivate a while ago. Just sick of typing on a screen.
Switched to the Blackberry 9700 and now this phone.
I think the Blackberry 9900 will be a sexier device but I definitely prefer the Android over over Blackberry OS6.
During high usage battery life about 12 hours...
My father played angry bird for 1 hour and the batt drop to less than 50% (after full charge)
Update: Battery life of this device is ridiculous. Seriously.
Switching back to my BB 9700 soon.
I can get up to 3 days of batter life when the phone is completely idle. This doesn't happen too often so with regular use, I can get up to 2 days of battery life.
Heavy usage gives me around 6-8 hours of battery life, which is still much better than Blackberry phones. My old Blackberry was at 60% and it literally died within an hour of using GPS and turn by turn navigation.
Overall, it's a pretty decent battery life, but it does get pretty hot at times like others have pointed out!
i dont know if i should get this phone or wait for the lg thrill 4g?
i just got att 3 days ago and they gave me a iphone 4..since i got it half off cause of where i work. anyways the screen on this phone looks pretty nice and the size is another plus..but im HUGE on the battery life.

Coming from an Evo you'll probably think the Infuse has amazing battery life. People complaining usually have a rogue app or are victims of the random Gingerbread battery bug. I've experienced great battery life on both my rom and CM7. By great I mean ~16 hours with heavy usage... 4-6 hours of display on time (browsing and other random stuff) and 1-2 hours of listening to podcasts or music with the screen off. I'm usually connected to wifi except when I'm on the road and brightness is usually set to auto, sometimes to 30 or 40 percent. People have reported 2-3 days without charging if they stay connected to wifi and use the phone very lightly.
Yup, I've gone 3 days with light use and still around 30%. Of coarse, that's on infused though
I get 3-4 days on my captivate with 3000mAh battery makes my phone a lot thicker though
Not sure if they have good extended batts for infuse but the stock battery is a good size. This is my next phone when i resign next month.

So far no extended batt has tested at more than 2500 actual (despite claiming to be 3500).
I ordered this battery off eBay a few weeks ago from HK.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/170700946395?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I received the battery a little over a week ago. I immediately charged the battery overnight (at least 12 hour charge) and popped it in the morning. Throughout the day I normally; check my email, a few couple minute phone calls, some web browsing, updating apps through the market, maybe a few videos, and streaming music, and texting pretty much all day.
The battery seemed to be doing just as good as stock. Now after a few charge cycles I believe the battery is doing better.
I can easily get a day out of it on average.
Two days I was sick, so I just text a few times throughout the day and played a few games on the phone.. I got 48 hours out of the battery.
I tried killing the battery one day by watching videos, streaming music and playing games for maybe 6 hours and I still had about 25% left.
For only $6 shipped (it takes about 2 weeks to get from HK) I believe it is a good deal. I keep my stock battery charged as a backup, but so far haven't needed it. When I get home from work I normally still have 30 - 40% left and just throw it on the charger and take it off when I wake up.
It sure is nice not to have to worry about bringing a charger everywhere I go.
I am really surprised that the 450mAh increase made that much difference.
The battery also feels a little lighter.. I don't have a scale to weigh it on, but it does feel slightly lighter
Running R3velation ROM, Overclocked to 1.6GHZ - ondemand (voltage control), Undervolted -50v @ 100,200,400, sync is set at once a day I believe, automatic brightness, using WIFI only when needed, and GPS almost never
Overall... very satisfied.
PS.. my wife got her 3500mAh battery for her captivate. She is easily getting 2 days out of her battery.. I wish I could use it on my Infuse, but I use the Otterbox case... so it will not fit..
I got 2 of these for backup for my wifes and my phone. I use mine all the time. A bit better than the stock battery and for the price was very hard to beat.
Great find, thanks!
On the eBay page, the vendor says:
3. When first get the battery, use it out, charge for 10 hours for the first three times, use it out again, then it only need to charge about 5 hours for normal use.

Thanks for sharing. I had one of the double sized batteries with the extra back, but the battery wore out after only 6 months. I might just go for one of these.
I bought this battery after reading this thread. The battery is slightly more heavier. The battery life seems to last longer when the cell phone is in use but when the phone is on standby the battery dies quicker then the oem battery. Weird.

Those of you needing to know whats going on inside your battery, you need to find "Spare Parts" on the Market/Play Store.
There is a very in-depth app inside called simply "Battery Information"
There you will not only find your % of charge, but battery voltage and temperature, battery health and time since last boot.
Li-Ion batteries are tricky as they require no more than 4.2v, anything more can destroy the battery. Also, the cell is made to operate to no less than 3.0v, any less and the cell will "go to sleep", meaning it won't take a charge unless forced to do so.
Just some FYI, I did my homework on Li-Ion technology and figured I'd share a little...
Looking for a hi-capacity battery
I'll have a look at this....
I owned original One, but battery was horrible. I switched to G2 and battery is the best I've had. On m8 how is battery? Did they improve it? I work at a homeless shelter and sometimes work overnights. When I do I'm basically on wifi all night. G3 is coming out with same battery but bigger screen so I'm anticipating it to get less screen time.

There is probably at least 10 threads that already talk about battery life. But I'll give my 2 cents. I leave home at 9am and don't get back until midnight. With my previous phone, it would be dead by about 2pm (I'm a heavy user). With this phone, I've never once had to charge during the day, even when I'm working in basements with no signal at all. I've never gotten home at midnight with less than 30% battery.
ive had both the G2 and now the M8. I think the G2 is still better (mAh is higher) but very comparable. Unless you're cutting it close (<10% when you go to charge your G2), then the M8 will suffice for battery life.

I start the day off at 100% and goto work for 8 hours. I get a 30 minute lunch and 15 minute break which I usually browse the news and websites. At the end of the day I only used 2%. My HTC ThunderBolt would of normally been around 45% remaining at this time. Recently I was stuck at family's and watched the latest FRANKIEonPCin1080p video and a couple JackFrags videos on youtube with a bunch of browsing. ~an hour and a half and used about 15-20% from 100.
I'm at 24% right now with 5h 11m screen-on time over LTE. I've been using it very heavily and I'm projecting a total screen on time of 6h 45m.
This is with power saver mode enabled which I completely recommend. This phone lasts equally as long (on power saver) as my GS3 did with the OEM 3000mah extended battery.
It's pretty good.
