I used current widget and was told reading wouldn't be accurate so I have switch to battery monitor app. And I came up with the dame readings...
I'm getting anywhere from 180-1100+ma drain on my batteries. Even on standby I'm looking at 100ma+
I have changed kernels,roms, superwiped, wiped bat stats. Tried different batteries. Something is wrong here. So if anyone has any compatible monitoring apps plz post a link. And i u have the same battery issues I have plz post Ur current setup.

Battery Monitor Widget Pro
I use Battery Monitor Pro as well on a LeeDroid ROM, standy uses 100-300, but battery has only dropped 8% in past 5 1/2 hours.
BatteryLife by CurveFish.
It also shows you the mV remaining in the battery which is the *real* indication of how much is left, not the %age the phone thinks it is.

Apparently current widget and battery monitor aren't giving true readings for our sensation. R u for sure battery life is compatible

Since Iam on adroid iam using Battery Monitor Pro, too.
It is doing a great job. But sometimes it gives u too much information
it is running on my dhd too
Try battery monitor pro
Any widgets or apps you run to monitor battery life will reduce your battery life by a small degree because it is using your phones resources.
I'd also recommend BATTERY MONITOR WIDGET (free) you can pay for PRO version.
But Ensure that in Settings->Monitoring->mA retrieval method = HTC Sensation.
It may well default to this, but I haven't got sensation so don't know.

I averaged around your measurement too, but sometimes it drop 2% each time, is it normal to be draining so much even on standby?
I use battery left . It uses your battstats file to guage how long you have left and gives you a percentage left as a widget.
It takes a few charge cycles on a new battstats to get accurate but it does the job great when it's calibrated.

Hello fellow users
My gf got herself a desire s today and i installed battery monitor on it and saw that the device have a drain of 14-18ma with screen off
I have a desire hd and got a drain of 3-5ma with my screen off
Is this because i have a custom kernel?
I sometimes have this with my dhd and when i whipe dalvik its cleared again to 3-5ma
Can you guys check how much drain you have with screen off?
Thanks

You might take all background syncing processes under consideration. Also bad wireless reception may cause higher currents.

Download an App Killer, they are probably just staying in the background and eating the battery.

this is what i was curious about. my nexus one gets between 3-5mA of idle current draw during the night with wifi on. but the thunderbolt for example, with the Sense UI ROM, has some weird problem where the current is 34mA idle on stock ROM, and that is what everyone is seeing. i collected 7 days worth of current widget data from TWO units, both identical results.
so is the new desire s something to do related to the new sense UI? or is the thunderbolt just a fluke? 18mA is too high for idle. and especially since the new HTC inspire i've gotten it to 1mA during idle at times, which is mind blowing. so i always attributed that to the new snapdragon efficiency. i was hoping the desire s would be even better, and get superb battery life with 1450mAh battery and normal sized screen at 3.7".
please post more results when you can!

Currentwidget and Battery monitor widget logs that the phone use around 20 mA (8 hours log) whit the screen off.
and after 8 hours the battery is drained from 1450 mAh to 1435 mAh.
This is just not possible whit a steady use of 20 mA
1 hour of 20 mA = 20mAh and after 8 hour it needs to be 160mAh

How did you measure it ? Something must be wrong : the battery drainage or the battery use. In the best case you have battery use about 2mA and that's just awesome. If it's not the case you just drained 160mAh as you say it should be. Hope that it's the be first one.
Yeah I just figured it was a typo or mis read his mAh, I can't see any other answer. I would do another over night test and try to confirm.

I did logged whit Currentwidget and Battery monitor widget. And i did calculated the 160 mAh on my own.
The widgets both say that the device use 20 mA messured every 60 sec. After a hour that will be 20 mAh and 8 Hours it will be 160 mAh (8*20mAH=160mAh)
But Battery monitor widget olso did says that my battery is drained from 1450 to 1435 after 8 hours. ( I started whit a full battery)
Last night over 8 hours the device used about 1%=14.5 mAh
2011/04/17|01:27:28|-23mA|68%|3917mV|29.3ºC
2011/04/17|09:27:28|-20mA|67%|3902mV|20.8ºC
I wonder why the desire s gets such high current drain. The original desire, and my nexus one, get 6 mA during idle screen off.
After some days of BatteryMonitor logging I can say, that the current with screen off never drops below 14mA. Often it's even higher (over 30mA).
The Gingerbread on board battery consumption overview shows Maps as a major consumer. Even if I never used the Maps application since the last complete battery charge, it is there as one of the most bat drainers. I have the feeling that it's this behaviour after updating Maps from the shipped 5.2 to the current 5.3.1
But that's OT. The battery drain is too high even without the Maps app.
normal idle screen off should never be higher than 6 mah.....
so what the hell is up with this thing :O ?
i'm experiencing the same issue too
i was experiencing some horrific battery time also, like 30% drain in 7 hours screen off while my iphone only drained 7% in that time. I believe the culprit could possibly be the "use best wifi performance" button coupled with wifi not sleeping.
Ive now turned off "best wifi performance " and set wifi sleep to 15 minutes and im now getting 18-22mA - i understand this is still bad - i cant spot any other apps using battery.
Will update again later today.
All feed back and information appreciated and we all appear in the same boat.
Although I have wifi turned off during the day and still get battery drain

hey im using leedroid v1.3 and the battery life on my phone is horrendous, i left the house at 11am this morning with 98 percent and after a 10 minute phone call i had 75 percent battery by 12 oclock. do you guys have any tips or things i can flash to get the phone through a day and a half or even 2 days somehow?
also having an issue with the speakerphone, its the lowest volume of any phone i think ive ever owned, ive got to put the phone to my head, so its basically like making a call but using the back as an earpiece. thanks for the help.
I'm having the same problem with my phone, on any rom. According to CurrentWidget, the Ma being used by my phone will not drop below 150, even while idling. I'm starting to believe that my battery is faulty.

Upgraded to v2 and ran the battery calibrator. Phone finally lasts a day. Thanks. Am I supposed to run the calibrator at like 10% or should I let it die and run it after a 100% charge?
Battery calibration + managing screen brightness massively increases battery life. You need root to be able to clear battery stats, right?

I believe the calibration tools want you to use them at 100% charge. I got a chichitec 1900mA/Hr battery, calibrated (i guess it is now) and my phone went for more than 24 hours before hitting the 49% mark. This was with light use (checking email, checking web forums, playing some Angry Birds, and making some phone calls) but still a HUGE difference from the stock battery. Also, I turn off data connection via quick settings when I am at home. I do turn on wifi though while at home. Calibration ought to help out big time, as these phones are reporting a dead battery long before it is really dead.
Also, dont pay attention to the current battery monitor's report for standby current. It isnt accurate.

That's the one reason I keep going back to the stock setup I just seem to get better battery life out of is than any of the custom ones I've tried. I've only tried a couple. Has anyone found a ROM that gets better battery life than stock?
Hi, I've been having battery issues with my sensation so I've tried all options in kernels and more but nothing seem to work for me. I would like to know how much mA (milliampere) our sensation should be draining depending on your setup of course.
You can find out using BATTERY MONITOR WIDGET or CURRENT WIDGET (enable log opt) they are free on the market and great if not the best tools for battery monitoring:
SEE POST ON PAGE 2 FOR THE BETA APK :')
PLEASE POST YOUR SETUP : your rom and kernel, if you're using 3g or wifi, having the sync on, animations, basically anything that would affect the battery.
Hope we can get and more accurate idea of what to expect with different configuration and find solutions so everyone can get the most out of their battery!
Edit: I've contacted the developer of battery monitor widget and he as accepted the invitation to come explain sharing a beta version that show the correct mA values for our sensation. NOW IM GETTING MORE THEN 12H WITH 70% SCREEN ON 3G AND SYNC...
Hi my name is DloBrown and Im A nightly addict who've been sober for too long!!!
I'm on Melvin's latest Beast rom and Faux 0.1.2 N_1.56ghz kernel with 3g and sync always on, screen set to auto, animations off and 5 homescreens full of widgets... I have an 1730mA evo 3d battery and I get about 300mA on average and 150mA screen off that about 6hours of heavy heavy usage
Hi my name is DloBrown and Im A nightly addict who've been sober for too long!!!
Even in airplane mode over night I'm losing about 200mA on average and like you nothing I can do seems to be able to change this fact. According to the Enlarge your battery life post it ought to be less than 10mA.

Wow... I know I'm a heavy user but even on airplane mode??? On my desire hd I. Could get 8-30 mA while in sleep mode wifi on... It's seems the sensation don't sleep properly. In sleep mode still draining like crazy. Thx for your post!
Hi my name is DloBrown and Im A nightly addict who've been sober for too long!!!
Why is our battery history in spare parts doesn't show the "partial wake usage"...?
I'm on a Android Revolution HD 3.0.2 with 3G watchdog and JuiceDefender running constantly, data on only while the screen is on, nothing else is on and I get an average of 250mA losing. When I do smth with my phone, it jumps up to around 500-600. Lowest at 120 for some brief moments.
I am a medium user with some internet on the go [ which uses more battery because of the signal strength changing every couple of seconds ], a lot of calls [ a lot calling me too ], few sms messages, gmail syncing every 30 mins, a little gps and this kind gets me through the day about 15hours.
But when I use the internet fully for a whole hour, the battery drops down to about 55%,
Very unstable battery drainage.
Using Superlite 1.4 and the lowest mine has ever been is 120mah in flight mode (LeeDroid was 220 at lowest).
I've tried nearly every ROM now and can't get any more than 12 hours use. This is a real problem when you're away for 18 hours with no access to a charge point
Didn't use the phone at all yesterday (maybe turned the screen on half a dozen times for a few seconds) and it went to 30% in 18 hours.
Only thing I have running is POP email (15 minute pull) and the rest is stock.
No Wifi, no bluetooth, usually 3g.
Sadly, I didn't keep the stock ROM long enough to see how much it drains..... I just had to flash
Stock Rom stock kernel. I have 1850 mAh 3d EVO extended battery I just got. Drained it and charged fully. I got 19 hrs no sync brightness all the way up WiFi on the whole time 3 hrs of display time. Hour or so of call time. Moderate usage I think. Stock battery I would only get about 10 hours out of it.

That's correct, theres no app currently out, that can show the correct mA drainage.
..I mean if it really drain 200mA in an hour overnight it should be dead after about 8 hours sleep - simple calculation ^^.

Battery Monitor Widget - beta APK for Sensation devices
Here is a beta APK (official update over the week-end).
This will fix the wrongly reported mA usage during standby... 200mA in standby means 8 hours max on standby with a 1500mAh battery! I got 40+ hours of standby/use.
To take advantage of the update, you have to enable the 'mA corrections' in the monitoring settings! Indeed there's a bug on Sensation battery driver/hardware, and HTC doesn't seem to want to fix it! It's fixed on the Evo 3D though!
One more note, I don't recommend using both BMW and Current Widget. Current Widget is a nice widget but it consumes more than BMW. You can verify that using System Tuner recording feature!
In future posts, it might be a good idea to post screen shots of the graphics showing times with screen on/off!
EDIT: Pro users should have received the update through Market, if not just check Market manually!

I was concerned when I first started reading. I don't have the device yet, so I didn't know there was a bug with mA reporting (which should be very low in standby - like, less than 20). I'm interested to hear more people chime in.

The bug is actually in the kernel reporting the value... It keeps saying 200-300mA incorrectly even when you get a 1% drain every 3/4 hours!
The app is trying to work-around this issue to provide accurate reading no matter what. Only Battery Monitor Widget is able to do that right now!
Now, some are having battery issues... happens with every phones anyway!
For the Battery Monitor Widget Pro users, the update has been released on Market, so please feel free to report on the app thread or the app web site.
And report your Sensation's drainage here too

If you are having battery issues on a stock ROM. Check the htc sense sync interval under accounts and sync. Stock setting is "push", that killed my battery initally. I disabled it entirely and my battery life is great.

And change back to the Sensation battery, it's actually better than the 3Ds. The Evo guys are using the Sensation battery and getting about 2hrs more in back to back tests. Be happy you don't have a 3D. When I had mine, I got 2hrs hard use with 4G and 4hrs with 3g. I get 8hrs with my Sensation overclocked.

Well for starters, your screen was on for almost 2 hours straight and your signal wasn't very good for most of that. I can assume that since your screen was on for 2 hours straight you must have been using it or the screen would not have been on that long. Streaming a 2 hour movie on a not so great connection will eat your battery up almost completely, especially if you are using full brightness. Android phones in general are battery eaters. My Sensation battery life is actually a lot better than my Vibrant was so I'm happy. Buy a couple batteries on Ebay for 15 bucks or use Juice Defender. I use my phone pretty heavily and can make it through the day. I can get over 24 hours using Juice Defender.
Did You wipe battery stats after change battery?
Also tell us which ROM and Kernel You use now. I'm sure that 3/4 ROM's here are useless. I have ROM from new leak and have 0 issues, also with battery.
I got two Anker 1900mAh batteries and they made a reasonable improvement to my use.
Typically with full sync and okish signal I got about 1h40m of screen on time with about 14 hours off charger.
With Anker under the same daily use its between 2h to 3h screen on in the same period.
Also that means I now have three batteries.
Sorry to say but having owned a Motorola Milestone, Galaxy S, Nexus S and now Sensation I can simply say that the battery life on Android is crap in general for heavy users.
My girl has an iPhone 3G and 4, the screen on time is often over 6 hours which I put down to intimate development of software and hardware.
I am choosing flexibility over longevity for now.

It's the kernel that's in the version of the ROM you have.
Flash 3.6.5 XE and it'll fix the problem.
Also having Wifi on and using it for 2 hours straight will drain your battery.

WiFi uses less battery than a data connection, just fyi. WiFi does not cause drain.

Did you calibrate or change radios recently? You could have a defective battery(s) or maybe the kernel is causing excessive drain.
I noticed this issue too when I was using Sense-based ROMs before I switched to a CM7-based rom.
Been off battery for 9 hours and 9 minutes with 77% left - I've never seen battery life this great and I don't think I see myself going back to Sense any time soon for my HTC Sensation 4G.
I was very disapointed with how fast the stock HTC Sensation battery drained even with normal use, just like you.
I took the advise from some here and got the Anker battery from Ebay for 10.00.
The best thing I ever did.
WOW! Did it improve the battery life on the Sensation.
Now I do not have to worry about the battery draining down fast on me.
With the Anker battery, my phone lasts all day and into the night .

Probably it's time to try this! extended battery can be a solution.
Today after fully charging my phone I took it off charge and i set my brightness low and after 1 hour of playing asphalt 6 I checked my battery stats and it showed that the screen has used 87% of battery whereas asphalt 6 and wifi only had drained 8% of battery. I'm using 1730mah battery and I want to find out the battery usage other people are having after playing 1 hour of game

If screen dont drain any battery than we could play 10hours of asphalt 6 non stop while we still have 16% of battery left. Beside I know that impossible but still I'm sure there must be a way to stop high screen battery drain

I believe the only way without buying a new battery, is to reduce the screen brightness
Its a well known fact that Our Screen need more juice and is the biggest drainer of battery.......Try keeping brightness under 30 or buy an Anker battery.
I did keep my brightness to the low because it was night time and still it showed that screen drained my battery a lot I don't know what would have happened if I kept my brightness full

Bright or not the screen (specifically the backlight) will always be the biggest power consumer on the phone. There is no way around this.

well i got an sensation too with viper rom frmo the venom team and after the update i recognize a much harder battery drain than before but all apps are the same so dont know why and no one else is experiecing something like this :S
The biggest drain on the battery is the screen and the back light for the screen. I've noticed a significant improvement by disabling auto brightness (this is controlled by the kernel and rom parameters) and just setting brightness manually.
