Battery life!

How can i increase the battery life!? My battery drains really fast with light web use and listening to music, is there an app that can save me some battery usage or one that calibrate the battery?

You could install a custom rom, which makes your Sensation faster, and makes the battery much better!
There is plenty to choose from.

I've got battery drain issues running CM 7 Alpha 7. How can I see what app is eating my battery? Both Settings>About Phone>Battery info and Spare parts under the Partial Wake selection show android system.
Is there any other way to see battery usage by specific app? Am I looking in the right area in Spare Parts?

You could download one of those task manager's or auto kill memory. But I don't got any experience about that.
And when you flashed, did you do full wipe and all that it said in the instructions ?

My battery life is pretty awesome...using anker batt...CM7 alpha 7 and faux kernel

I am planning to buy this phone what is the average battery back up of this phone if we use internet or try to listen music

I did im running Android Revolution HD 3.6.1 with stock kernel and for some reason the battery still drains!

It may not be the answer you are expecting, but the most effective route to better battery life is to buy a bigger battery. I bought the Anker battery and never looked back - it is massively better than the stock battery.

Look at the specs and power of this phone... Its more powerful than the avg pc 5 years ago. Arhd has givin me 20 hr cycles and i think that is amazing compared to a stock rom

TL,Dr: use search.
Install Bricked kernel. Set max clock to <1GHz, min to 192 GHz and under volt 50mA... Will add ~50% right there. Get a non stick ROM for another ~25%.

It may be something you may have done.
Did you by chance flash some tweaks on top of zeus?

is this 5 days battery life like even with data and wifi on and if so is it with the ics theme added or no and if yes what are you guys doing and what battery are you using to achiueve this insane battery

In my experience the only way to get that kind of battery life is to basically not use it much. Which defeats the purpose of carrying it around. I use the internet quite heavily, text occasionally, gps, bluetooth and wifi typically stay off and with that usage I might be able to squeeze out a day and a half. Just my experience.

I as well am having problems with my battery draining quickly

This was my dd for a while and I think its the best on battery out of all roms I tried

I agree Zeus has excellent battery life, 2-3 days all the time. I will say that I had to reflash Zeus once because I couldn't seem to get more than 6 hours out of the battery, I just chalked it up to a bad flash.

I'm having bad battery life too...I get good battery on the first day after a reboot or something but after that its back to 10 hours

[Knowledge Sharing] Share your cell Temperature and Current (mA)

Hi Guys,
This thread is to share your cell idle temperature and current (mA) with the help of Battery Widget 3c.
I believe that lowest possible temperature and lowest current drain help to increase battery life.
I can remember when I had Htc Desire, I was able to to achieve 27 C with 4 to 5 mA current drain with @snq kernel.
So please share your cell information so we can know that what setup is best for longer battery.
Mine is as below :
Rom : Reaper-V3.0.0
Kernel : Reaper-V1.3
Radio : 3822.09.08.20_M
Idle Temperature : 30 to 32 centigrade
Idle Current : 9 to 12 mA

Please, could you post a link to the battery widget you mention. Using Current Widget I get far higher readings - idle current is 22mA. I'm on Endymion rom with 50mA undervolt. 3G and data are on.

Battery Widget link updated in OP.

Thanks, with this app the idle current usage is 12mA for my device too.
A small update after a day of collecting information - the lowest standby current was 8mA but most of the time it stays at 11mA.

Question: what should be classed as"too hot"
I'm running BlindIce with cm9 kernel and on demand governor and I get this most of the time, fair enough I'm using a live wallpaper but this can't be ok can it ?

It's taking too much current, it should be between 8 to 12 mA.

Probably my own fault for the wallpaper and screen widgets. But even so I realised it was a lot which is I posted here, never had this issue with reaper
Things seem to have called down a little since I removed snakes battery thing that came on BlindIce though

Screen-on time with CM10

Hey guys,
Was wondering if you could share some screen-on time screenshots of your One X on CM10. I have one coming in the mail and am getting a little anxious regarding the battery life.
Would prefer screenshots of normal use please!
Thanks in advance

With the stock ROM I was only getting 8-10 hours of battery life.
I switched to CM 10 and ever since my battery life has gotten MUCH better. On average now I can get 16+ hours out of my phone.

If you're a smart user with your battery, you can squeeze a decent amount of battery

Thanks for the reply guys, could you click on the screen (in that screenshot you posted) to show me the screen-on times?

all these screen shots are useless. I can get 3 days idling.

This was my best screen on time over last weekend.

No, I have only been running CM10 for less than a week.
The big difference for that day was that I wasn't using Play Music to stream for an hour or more a day, and I have cut out almost all background syncs - only fb and K9 mail with one Gmail account.
Normally I get a little over 2:00 screen on time. That was just a good day.

[Q] Battery discharging by 2%

I don't know if it is a problem with my battery, or my phone, or even the ROM but whenever my phone is discharging it discharges by 2%. I just changed the battery to an Anker 1900mAh battery (brand new from Amazon). I've been using AlbinoMan887's ROM and I have done everything from discharging the battery and recharging it, wiping it full and even reseating the battery. Does anyone else have this problem? What can I do?

This is almost normal usage. This shouldn't be normal on a brand new battery! (Sorry that one of the screenshots was in Spanish. Let my parents borrow my phone.)

Well that hasn't seemed to work. The longest I can go with normal usage is 5-6 hours.

I'm going to try out some other ROMs, good looking out. My stock battery is shot. It does the exact same thing. That's why I thought I needed a new battery.
