Hey guys... I just wanna know how long does it take your sensation to drain your battery while your screen-on... I have my brightness set to 50% and after 2 hours of screen-on, the battery is dead... I mean full charge to shutdown... Please share your experience and some advise to improve this... Thanks in advance...

Depends on other factors too but my screen on time usually falls somewhere between 3-4 hrs. However, like I said that is not the only thing effecting your battery life.
Well, watching a 40 minute TV show on mine uses 20% of battery with screen set to 100% brightness, so 2 hours should leave about 40% of battery.
This would suggest there's either something else using your battery, or there's something wrong with your phone/battery
5 hours if I'm really conservative with the brightness.
Sigh... i guess there is really something wrong with mine.. and i can't really find what is eating my battery... When it's idle with 3g on, it does not consume anything at all, may be just 3% for 3 hours.. but when i start to turn on the screen, battery life begins to drain so fast...and that is only at 50% brightness... This is just frustrating.. anyways, thanks for sharing guys... Much appreciated

It really depends on how u use ur phone, like me for ex. I use it as a music player also, so say when I'm driving I'm playing music bt screen is not on so by the time actual screen time is on, batt will have drained some thus giving me less display time per charge. (or playing a game). There's been a time I got a lil over 4 hours bt dint play music/games tho. And my fone is always on auto brightness

My battery drains more when its on standby. When its on it will drain less

i have it since one week then i play too much with it ... 2 or 3 hours
i tried too much rom and to much kernel
Can anyone confirm that setting the brightness to auto will save more power?.. i read something in the other thread that it will consume more power because it will always try to sense which is the suitable brightness for the current environment you are into... Correct me if i'm wrong please...

Depends how I use my phone, and also how good the signal is. I would say 4 - 5 hours on average. I got 5 hrs 10 mins the one day last week
Screen brightness set around 30%.
That's nice... I envy you having able to squeeze 5 hours of your screen-on time..

Always set to auto brightness, feels like no matter what I do with the phone whether it's heavy gaming or light usage, the screen-on time gets to about 3 hours before the battery goes.

Just one question for all of you guys having more than 4 hours of screen-on time.. are you all rooted and have flashed other ROMs?...

I usually get around a days worth of battery life with medium to heavy usage..
Last night i charged my phone 100% and when i woke up after 5 hours it was completely out of Battery.. I didnt use it overnight.. Any idea what could have caused this??
The phone too wasnt awake..
My phone is around 1 month old..
Edit: Unrooted phone
Are did you flash a new rom? If you did you would have to re-calibrate your battery

Could you have left something running in the background, a game, or WiFi?
Or did it even charge.... Could the cord be plugged out?

Though i would like to add that i did add a new Thyparancy Skin a couple of days ago and made a custom lock ring..
But a Skin shouldnt cause problems should it??
Because i have seen people use them without any problem whatsoever

Nothing of that sort..
I did charge it 100% and am sure of that.. Plus i wasnt playing anything and even wi-fi, gps and bluetooth were off..
In battery usage it is even showing as asleep and screen off..
faulty battery buddy it seems....I am also using the same theme as yours and the phone has 2 hrs of on screen time
Ok for you guys having battery life problems Here is what I did .My phone was dead in six hours. After doing this I am at 2% per hours no problems. Even though I have only one sync which is HTC mail on demand I did not set times within the mail app to sync you need to set those parameters to only sync once every two hours in peak hours and one every 6 hours in offpeake time. I found all this out by using better battery stats partial wakelocks and current widget I hope this helps a few people! I unplugged my phone at 8:45 AM yesterday and am at 42% right now so It is running like a champ.
My sensation actually drains battery less whe its using somehing or on. This happen on pyramid3d. And miui frm tripndroid. Illike I'll listen to mussic for 1 hour, and it will be 100 to 96. And when I let it standby, it will go to like 88 in a hour. Is this normal?

I had an issue similar to this. Every other day the battery would drain in half a day (when usually it would last a good 12 hours +)
Under the battery usage tab it was showing the phone as being awake for almost all of the time (Even though I hadn't used or touched the phone)
I think it was a Kernel issue (Correct me please if I'm wrong, just a small time n00b) As I was using the stock shipped rom but just rooted.
Anyway, upgraded now, and it seems to be ok so far! *touch wood*
Would suggest you look under the battery usage graph and see what that tells you.
Ill reply in 12 hours. Since I just ubplugged from charger

You could've installed a bad app. Faulty/bad apps will stop the phone from sleeping. Look for apps that (when you install them) list that they can prevent the phone from sleeping in the permissions list.
If you've not installed too many, remove one at a time, leave for a while, and then check battery section in Settings to see if it's no longer staying awake.
If you find the app, contact the developer through the market so they can fix it.

Also, if you have it, keep WiFi connected when in range. Uses less battery than mobile data. Switch it off when you're not connected of course.

even with ICS, is determining how much battery life is left.
I could keep a better tab on my battery life with my watch. It's the worst when it's full and it's empty. It'll be at 100% for 2 hours and 20 minutes later it's at 89%. At the end, when you are at 10%, it's over, you might have 5 mins lefts or 60...who the hell knows.
Very true. I was at 15% for about 20 min but went from 100% to 30% in an hour

I hardly agree to the battery percentage because it depends on your usage ... there might be a number of unused apps running in the background which might eat up your battery... delete unused apps/widgets...

I keep my phone very barebones. I use two widgets and I have 20 apps.
When I'm down to 10%, I can have everything off and it will still drop down to below 5% within the half hour.
I've come to the conclusion that Android just sucks at this to ignore the percentages and to keep it as charged up as possible.
On my HTC wildfire with like 5 widget and over 150 apps installed it easily crossed one and half days....

And I asked because from what I know...that's probably not the best nor final version to ics at the moment for the sensation...maybe just like a kang or a build....but either way...in the future when Everything settles down and is more developed for the sensation..I'm pretty sure your battery will be at is best....

I used to have this issue with Android with past phones like the Epic 4G and the Nexus S 4G. I could be at 70% and reboot the phone and all of a sudden it's now at 52%. I could reboot phone 5 times and get 5 different values. It was all so tiring.
Now i've since moved on to the Epic Touch running Blazer ROM and since i've been on this combo, i've not noticed this phenomenon anymore. The battery guage is spot on. I could reboot a billion times and the accuracy doesn't deviate one bit. Could it be that the dev of this ROM has some super mojo/juju that just works? (I hope so).
Alpha Review ROM is not completed, all guys using review HTC Rom have same problems. Keep remembering that it is still a review ROM

Nice wait but that jump upward toward the end, were you charging it there, send a screen of the graph with the usage pattern under it
And you recharged it abit
Hehe. But seriously I get around 17 hours of pretty good life. Moderate to heavy use with still about 30% remaining

Haha nope not quite we mean like tap the "screen" entry so we can see how many hours of screen-on time you've had, and also possibly tap the usage graph then it shows when your phone was awake, when WiFi was on/off, when it was charging etc.

As much as I do like the phone. I'm quite annoyed at the battery life and am thinking of ways to improve it and etc. but it doesn't seem to be working. I get like 8 hours and by then it's at 30% MAX. Usually around like 20 or so. 10 hours and it's pretty much dead. Am I doing something wrong? my screen is only on for about an hour and a half or so, maybe 2 hours. Lowest brightness setting, 4g off, 2g on, wifi on.. that's about it. I mean as much as I love HTC, I can't love this battery life...

Yes you're doing something wrong or have a faulty unit. Make sure you flash a good ROM (I'm using aokp) and that's it. I have my screen at about 25% brightness and here are my stats which is quite acceptable.

@devgee Lol wow 5hr37min screen and almost 10hrs thats quite impressive, all things considered hang on how is your phone still ON at 1% not charging? Mine shuts down at 4% generally...unless I charge it till 7% and unplug, then it runs to 0% before powering down?

Might be the 1% battery mod which has been added to the viper Rom (Don't know really)
I was too surprised when it was 1%
Usually it shuts down at 3% or 4%!

Well this is what I got.
This was back on CM. That rom game amazing batt life.
I don't have the screen time pic but it was just over 4 hours. Still had 1/5 of the battery left too! With this phone I just leave gps, wifi, antenna and sync on. It's so rare for me to NOT last a full day that I see no point in being conservative about use anymore.

If you had started with a full battery, rather than with a reboot, I think it's either an old battery which is losing it, or something is heavily draining it.
Only 16 minutes of screentime is really low. Guys get to 4 hours but about 2 hours is the avg.
If its the original, some 2 years old, battery, I would suspect it.
Can you provide some more details? Cpu,gpu settings, battery age.. etc?

According to the screenshot, he lost 20% starting from 27%.
It would be interesting to see the partial wakelocks screen.
In standby my phone drains around 0.9%/hour (click here to see what I am running).
