Hi i'd like to know how battery compares on the DS.
I hear many ppl say that on custom ROMs the battery is better, but by what margin?
There is a person saying he had his DS approxiametly in standby for 200hrs (stock)
then with a custom ROM 400hrs...
is that an accurate prediction... do the custom ROMs increase battery by that large margin?
i would have thought that having all the newer sense 3.0 , overclocked ROMs etc, would make the phones battery life worse than stock, but it seems not so....
Anyone can share their expierences please?
i dont know about stand by but if u ask about usage stock rom battery life sux.I'm on cm7 (right now) and must say that this rom is the best one for battery life...tried miui,lbc,virtuous and now cm7 so far and in cm7 is no drain at all...7-9mA on idle ..all roms drain fast if u use wifi ..if u really use ur phone whatever u use stock or custom rom u will must charge every day thats for sure
in some lines, when screen off i get use of:
Stock: 14-15ma
Custom 6-8ma
Meaning that custom rom uses half of current... means better battery life
yeah just like that

on standby you can see a huge increase in battery life if you use a custom ROM
but when you are actually using the device the battery life isn't changed that much as the display causes most of the battery drain & so reduction in battery consumption of most other processes does not affect the battery life much,but it definitely is a lot better
& also most custom ROMs underclock the device when the device is sleeping so that also helps the battery life
AOSP roms had battery drain issues,but the devs are working on it & it should be fixed soon(im not sure if its fixed yet)
Thanks everyone for your input!
Will be considering rooting my phone and installing a custom ROM , once i'm fully settled in with it

would just agree with what @kartkk said above.
Would also say that you are correct to delay, as there are a decent number of guides and weeks worth of reading material here in the forum to keep you busy and help you along the way.plus lots of us here willing to answer any questions you may have as you should be fairly confident what you are up to before you start flashing.

yeah,i agree dont root your device for the first week or two till you can get all the info about rooting & also get to know the problems in stock so that you can choose the best custom ROM for you

A community is not measured by the quantity of ROMs available. What are you looking for that you are not finding?
Something fast stable and sexy it seems that all roms here have the stock look

I think the main reason these forums seem dead to you is because on the Nexus line you're already receiving the latest and greatest.
Most ROM's for other devices either
Try to emulate the stock Google experience by removing the manufacturer's UI
Remove carrier bloatware
Provide a newer version of Android that the manufacturer doesn't.
Enable features left out by the manufacturer or the request of the carrier
None of those issues apply to the Nexus line, which is why you see a lot less ROM's however what we lack in quantity is most likely made up in quality!

Trinity is my favorite kernel, you can find it in the nexus a section.
Bln=bottom light notification.
Voodoo= sound drivers and screen color. You need
the voodoo control app to change those.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Voodoo has to do with sound for your headphones. Basically lets you change the music settings to sound better with higher end headphones.
BLN backlight notification. Since the ns4g comes with no led, bln uses the 4 keys on the face of the phone. Say when you get a text the screen stays off and the keys light up. Also we use bln from the market to make them blink and set how long they stay on for.
BLD backlight dimmer. Say your watching a movie, without bld those same 4 keys as above stay on as long as your screen is on. With bld they turn off after 30 seconds or what you set it at. This works as long as you don't use those 4 keys, of you touch one the time starts over.

Matr1x kernel I think has better battery life. Performence is awesome also. I get atleast 12hrs with about 4hrs of screen on time and heavy use. Plus matr1x has a great dev with awesome support.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Ok excellent, so u guys answered my definition questions, now my question is concerning 2 things: 1. Kernel: i need a kernel that has atleast the same or better batterylife, and atleast the same or better performance. it is my understanding that matrix is undervolted and overclocked, and so might be just the thing for me, being better on battery and better on performance, unless those negate eachother...what do u think?, 2. Cyanogenmod. what does cyanogen bring to the table/add vs stock rom? as in why would i put on a custom rom rather than stock? would love to hear views.
Matr1x has just as good or better battery and better performance than stock cause of the options it has.
I think one of the main reasons why people use custom roms on the ns4g is for custoization. Like cm7 and decks both have more themability and options. As miui is a completly different look feel just everything. Think iphone when you think of miui.

So guys, are you hapy with your HTC Sensation? After seeing the performance, lag and battery issues, and also phone heat ups, are you happy with the phone?
Please feel free to comment!
Thanks
No. Look at the problems it got. The power button issue, which HTC KNOWS, but simply haven't fixed yet. And then there is the screen "failure", dust can come under it, and spoil the joy of having the phone. And there is also the home screen issue, when it sometimes doesn't work. Not only that, but the lack of support been given is just incredible. I have reported the issue in online chat with an HTC employee. And she simply said that I could reset the phone, delete all third-party apps. I mean WTF? If you know the problem, at least inform the workers, so they know such things. But apparently, HTC is shooting devices out! HTC sensation, then it exploded! XE,XL Rhyme, explorer, rezound. And the worst part is! They haven't fixed the audio issue, which comes when you record a video. Even in the new rezound. I am gonna trade it for a S2, if I can. Properly not. But I will give it a try.

The only thing that upset me was the squeky battery door besides that what a classic phone.....I jumped to the amaze for build quality purposes and I have zero regrets. Go HTC

I loose phone signal sometimes here at home
Wifi death grip
I 'currently' don't have any dust issues and I'm pleased about that, although I keep checking.

WOW, what are you running ? (ROM, Kernel, UC/UC/OC, ....)
I am extremely happy with it now thanx to the devs on this forum to make my life easier lol. Only thing that sucks is the battery, but i just purchased anker 1900 battery so it gave my phone extra life and using rom ARHD with Bricked Kernel 1.5r beta 2. Now for the terrible part the fron facing camera that sucks mad ass, but i dont use it anyways cause i have an itouch4g
I'm using Sensation around 3 months, I switched from the old Nokia 3510i and I don't have any single problem with it. Only issue was poor battery life.
But now Bricked 1.5 kernel with latest MIUI rom extended my battery lifetime significantly.

If you are not happy can I suggest you stick Coredroid 2.6 and Faux Kernel b7

well ... it depends on what did you bought it for i guess. Iam well satisfied as for functionality but there are few but's.
1. The image and video quality taken with the camera is very poor (my HD Mini did better)
2. Battery life is horrible on 4G networks
3. Sense UI keeps restarting often, to prevent it you have to manually clear Sense cache
4. Network and wifi signal keeps goin up and down like on a rolercoaster
5. The HTC audio enhancement (HTC SRS) in HD movies is awful
thats the only negative things i found, all in all, its not that bad, could be worse.
I use good phones (MDA compact III-> Nokia E90-> Xperia X1-> Sensation), but this one... dream! Battery-nightmare.
Cheers
My sensation is running great.
I haven't had a single problem. Haven't had any dust, or power button issues etc.
I'm running Scott and Jon's latest MIUI with show-P's latest AOSP kernel. Running like a dream. Excellent battery life. I also got an anker battery.
I was a bit hesitant before I got this phone TBH, because of the issues I heard people talking about. But I haven't experienced any of them.
I would definitely recommend this phone to my friends.

My battery life is great for a smartphone
All phones are different as to how much battery life you get, depends on what Rom / Kernel / Radio you are using.
Coredroid 2.6 with Faux Ultimate Kernel is great for battery life for me.
Have you calibrated your battery ?

I'm a G2 / iPhone 4S user and I can honestly say that iPhones' battery is crap. Might be the bug everyone's on about, but seriously - I don't even think it's a bug, just the iCloud service, and all the rest background info and diagnostics that are sent all the time. I switched all of them off, and still it sucks battery on Idle more than Android. I can get through a day, sometimes two on the G2 with MIUI, iPhone drops like 15-20% overnight, and about 10-15% per hour daytime.
I, personally got tired (and bored) of the OS in a couple of months and selling the 4S.
Maybe it's just me, but I get excited when I see news of new ports, kernels, hacks etc on my Android RSS feed, on iOS feed all I get is "amazing new wallpapers" news.

I must agree, iPhone battery is worst. My Dad has iPhone 4s and My wife has iPhone 4 so I know how quickly the battery drains especially the 4S. There are also other things that bothers me about IOS. It is not as user friendly or intuitive as you think. I used to think that out of the box, iPhone has the more user friendly OS but not anymore.
I found out that you can not attached files as easy as you would like android when composing e-mail. There is no conditional call forwarding options in the call forwarding settings. Turning wifi on/off is not as easy as placing a widget on the home screen for toggling. No text reflow. browser doesn't play flash (There are a lot of sites that my wife visits that plays flash videos and her ipad/iphone can't play it). I'm sure there are more

aren't almost all, if not all batteries made in China these days?
if it makes you feel better you can pick up a Official HTC Evo 3D battery. 1730mah.
I have it in my Senny and have been pretty happy with it.
anyway, from what I understand, IPhone 4/4s batteries are 1420mah...
also, the battery in the Iphone is gonna wear out at some point, then you'd have to deal with the hassle of sending it to Apple for a replacement.
you'll loose the bigger screen and customization of Android phones, and have to deal with a boring OS.
not worth it imho.
If I was in your shoes and have battery problems, I'd just get a new, bigger battery... but that's me...
whatever you choose, good luck.
flash miui, your battery life will be much better since its very light. or trying using an ics rom(preferbly the senseless ones) it has really great battery life

No, I'll do with an iPhone, what an iPhone is best at - I'll sell it ))))
I agree with the commenter above, I didn't want to rant about the OS, but since we're on the subject - iOS is far less user friendly, because of the closed and unintegrated OS architecture.
For example: Apps can not communicate with one another. Like when you are in a RSS reader the "full" article will open in a webView space, meaning it's not the Safari browser, but an interface the developer created, that has the safari rendering engine inside. So, every app developer has to "create" a browser of his own, witch is a bad idea and often feels like an afterthought. If you use services like Read It Later, there is no guarantee that an App will allow you to save the article for later reading, because the app can't see it's installed - you have to hope the developer included it in its "share" option. There is almost always a "read in Safari" option, but you can't change it - you can not assign a browser you like and use as your default browser. same with Camera, Gallery app etc.
The things mentioned above, like browser without text reflow, t9 dialing, easy way to toggle BT, WIFI, Brightness etc...
Settings is a clusterf*ck! I don't know where the whole iOS = Consistency thing came from, but believe me - there is nothing consistent about iOS Settings. Some apps will have settings right inside the app, some will integrate their settings into the OS settings menu, some will have both. For example in an IM app you'll have your settings for color theme inside the apps Options menu, and separate ringtone options in the OS Settings. More than that - Even some Games will throw some options into the OS Settings. So you want to turn off notifications for your emails. You go into Settings, and you have to find Mail Settings among Guns'n'Glory, GT racing, Location Services, Mobile Networks etc... And clicking on Guns'n'Glory might give you an option to turn ingame Vibration On/Off, for example - Why not include the option inside the game menu!??
iTunes is another bi*ch As it turns out you can not sync your phone to more than one computer in 2012 - wtf? Real world example for you here: I chose that my Work PC will be my computer i sync my iPhone with, because I spend more time with tech at work than at home, so now i'm on holidays for 2 weeks and I can't even put any music on to my iPhone! for 2 freaking weeks my iPhone enjoys the autonomy, while I'm out of office - it's ridiculous.
We are spoiled by Android. It's far more productive. iOS is good for launching apps - nothing more. Imagine your current Sense device as it is now, but stripped of everything, but the app drawer. You unlock your device, and there is nothing but the app drawer there.
no u should on it

If you haven't tried it, give SENSEaY a try. I almost gave up on the sensation and started looking at the sgs 2, but since flashing that rom I routinely charge every other night, sometimes every 3 nights. In the post there are tips for saving battery life. I think mostly turn off pocket mode and phone finder helps a lot.
Another thing I want to point out is the Evo 3d oem battery is only $14 on Amazon, I don't know if you can get that shipped to you somehow. 15% extra is not a lot, but it does help.
Hey Guys,
I didn't know where to ask this question so I made a new thread here.
My question is that which ROM should I use for best battery life??
I have tried most of the ROM in the two sections. But all ROMS drain battery so much. I have tried different Kernels as well. Nothing improved.
Please let me know if you have any in mind. I'll give it a try. Most of the roms work 9 hours max. I'm looking for more than that.

Please let me know if you have any in mind. I'll give it a try. Most of the roms work 9 hours max. I'm looking for more than that.

Screen on time/Radio on time are the killers if you use your radios and/or keep the screen on a lot, that makes sense.
With Viper and bulletproof give me an average of about 14 hours with about 2 hours of screen on time and 3 hours of Bluetooth headphones + Tune in Radio.
If you're using your phone a lot then no rom will help you. AOSP roms will not have as good battery as Sense but still pretty decent.
Invest in a pocket charger or one of those extended battery cases.

So if I use sense roms it will give me better than 9 hours?? Even with screen on time??
I dont use radio or anything else. Only thing i use is texting or calling. or some times games.
Screen uses the most battery.
Will the HTC ONE rom help?? Sense 5?

Hey Guys,
I didn't know where to ask this question so I made a new thread here.

Holy**** I didn't know we can brick phone by flashing Kenels as well.
OMG i've been changing kernels everyday to get better battery. I'll give stock Rom a try but now i'm scared of flashing kernel on it.

Around 14h
3h screen on time. 50% brightness.
However, if I play game, the battery life decreases significantly(around 2 hour screen on time).
