This is not true, when I first bought my sensation, it came with gingerbread sense 3.0, and the flash stopped working at 20%. Now I am on ARHD 6.51 and it's the same exact thing, Under 20%.
EDIT: I was checking my flashlight when I said it worked above 20%. Now that I checked the actual camera app it seems like you are right.

lol of course it is a standard HTC feature... Its the same on most Android phones
I guess you can edit the settings somewhere and get it to work with 10%

That is standard HTC feature..

But some custom ROM may allow flash until the battery drain..

Who said you can't root?

Settings> Audio> pocket mode off, vibration feedback off, other stuff that might use the proximity and the G sensor off.
Also check your installed apps some of them tend to stay active even after you "quit" them (you can't actualy quit). Download "system panel" for that, and you will see in te left of an app if it uses the cpu Even if an app is there is not actualy draining battery, only if it uses the cpu.
So don't use task killers, they will only drain you more battery.
I keep my screen on auto brightness, and i still get 2 days.
Hope i helped you.
Though I just S-off and rooted but will still try out what you guys say

Leedroid ROM, and unity kernel = awesome combination.
I get really really good battery life
At least much better than stock!
I'm using LBC mod, the newest released version works wonders for the battery!
the max have gotten so far with all the tweaking n stuff is like about 12hrs . . . .is there something wrong with the battery or am i missing something?

I used to have this problem constantly. I'm not lucky when it comes to battery life.
Could be the battery. Try LBC v0.6 and get setcpu. See if that helps if you haven't done so already.
Unity kernel sucked my battery dry.

Have you tried the tiamat kernel? Also, I recommend investing in Tasker to squeeze the most out of your battery. Simply having it automatically go into airplane mode when you sleep helps. Get it (like me) turning auto-sync on for 2 minutes every 15 minutes aswell, and you get over 24 hours battery with heavy use.

On second inspection. Yes LBC is still draining my battery dry. You're not alone. It's beautiful when screen off, but as soon as the screen is on, and its like 1% per minute. Scary.

I had this problem when still on stock ROM and had a few widgets collecting data in the background. It wasn't all that severe though; I had to charge the phone once a day. Since I installed LBC mod, I only have to charge the phone every two days
Use this to track down the battery drain...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats
And/or this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031124
If it's data traffic related this'll point you at which specific app is using it...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.radioopt.widget&feature=search_result
Then either un-install the culprit, or try different kernel, or freeze the sucka using Titanium Backup. See if that helps. Either way, would be interested to know what you discover.
1% per minute is scary drain I agree. Something not quite right there. You're not OC to silly levels are you?
Yes, the new lbc ROM gas a drainage problem... Mine was dropping very fast. Switched back to leedroid, great battery life again! (Stock kernel) I also use setcpu
I reckon it could last me 2 days moderate usage, and 3 light usage!

Hello Xda, I just have a quick question. How do you remove the "unable to use flash due to battery being under 25%". I have an higher capacity battery so at 25% I still have about two hours of music left on my phone.
Sometimes at work I NEED the Camera to be fully functioning without a stupid warning stopping me.

I just had a warning saying "Unable to use flash due to cold weather" -___-

I would like to know too, if there is a way to disable that through a MOD. But I have the feeling that someone will just tell us to flash a ROM that has the limitation removed. I know the flashlight won't work either, but you can download a market flashlight and it will work all the way to 0%, so there has got to be a way with the camera flash to work to 0% also.

Hi All need your help,
I have custom ROM Insert Coin with Android 2.3.5.
My phone shuts down automatically any time ... It will work good for 5-6 hrs some time 1 hrs then its gone. I have to start it again...
I have observed that when it automatically shuts down and I start it goes till lock screen and then again shuts down it happens twice and then 3rd time it works fine for more 5- 6 hrs. I tried MIUI same issues and again Insert coin still same issue.
Though I put ROM freshly without any apps it happens and issues started from moving MIUI to insert coin.
Please help I really need help...I feels like it can be Vodafone service issue or my GPRS issue. bcoz last night removed sim and tried so it was not down for 5-6 hrs. But is it possible.
I had the same problem as you, so what i did was..
Flash an original RUU and do the guide for rooting again and its gone
That is how i did it ;-)

My sensation XE is having massive battery drain after rooting. it goes from 100% to flat in less than 3 hours in standby mode. i can't even charge it 'cause it drains even when charging in AC AND even with the phone turned off. the display consumption is constant at 95% even though i deactivated the automatic brightness and put it at minimum.
I can only charge the battery via a modded USB cable.
I don't have an extra battery so i can't try using another one and i want to consult you guys before buying a new one.
Any ideas?
I'm running on ARHD 6.8.0 XE with Beats Audio

A long time ago I have this problem on a Nokia and I send it for repair and they say that is the charging processor that is burned and it drain very fast battery. Well I have one idea try underclock your CPU to 192 max and 192 min and write here the results. Did you try to do a new fresh install, without app and maybe without HTC sense????

I had this problem. It turned out to be the battery (I bought an Anker), but I managed to fix it by putting a piece of paper between the phone and the battery so it gets pushed against the connectors.
ok. ill try to put paper and see if it works. i presume its battery since i allready flashed another kernel
