How long was the screen on? Make a few calls and the screen won't be the highest used %.

Well...if you are doing stuff on your phone that keeps the display on, obviously it will be the highest user of your battery.
Don't use the screen!

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..

6hours,

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.

Low brightness, but that's still pretty amazing.
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.

Im recording an average of -20mA @ screen off with RunnymedeS rom using CurrentWidget, with absolutely nothing going on - What is everyone else getting?
Ive heard -5-10mA is standard? -20mA seems like alot then..

Try search in Market for 3C Battery Monitor Widget and place widget to desktop.
It shows me 5mAh in standby (display off, 3G enabled, DATA off, BT on)
Shows 8 for me...
But which one to believe?

I'm at 6% after only being on for 3:56 right before that I went to recovery and wiped the battery stats and then the battery calibration blah I just got this battery brand new like maybe a week ago its an HTC stock battery at 4200-4300mV

Try putting the phone down for at least a lil while.
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using Tapatalk
lol, 4 hours of constant use with screen on. I would say that battery is working well.
Ok good just making sure its not messed up and Idk why but to me the whole 4200mV when fully charged seemed high I mean its at 3900 when charging Idk lol but thanks guys
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
I usually top it about 4213mv when I'm fully charged.
Mine jumps back and fourth between 4200 and 3900 also.
Okay good I never took notice with my other battery and Idk just thought it could be a high number xD

May I ask what app(s) you're using to generate your battery data (graph and calibration)?
Battery calibration app and the stock setting battery information on abso 3.2
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium
Using the phone with screen on for 4 hours and whatever apps or games you're playing + wifi or GPS or data can definitely kill your battery in 4 hours. You can do the while calibration method but if you've already done that then nevermind. If you're not using your phone for the 4 hours and it died that fast then yes something is wrong.

Yea I was doing it as a self test and just wanted to see if that were a good amount of time I bought the battery from new egg for 15 and it was a stock HTC battery

Wow that's crazy! It seems that the phone is in almost constant use for 4 hours straight! Wifi was always on, screen is almost always on, and it's awake almost all the time. I think the battery is doing well then. Just don't go crazy with it too much.
Just wondering if it's possible to control the cores on this phone individually? I'm interested in using only one core until both are needed, primarily only one core while phone is idle/sleep to save battery life. I've seen many other devices already use this mod including the HTC Evo 3D with similiar specs which claims 50+/hr battery life. Could this be ported to the Sensation?
Try system tune pro has a lot of power
Sent from my Sensation 4G using xda premium
Try a custom kernel, such as bricked or faux. By right only one core should be online until the second one is needed. Having said that, I think getting 50+ hours battery life on the Sensation is quite impossible unless you don't use your phone at all. The screen eats up battery like there's no tomorrow.

How you getting so much time on battery I am going from 100% to 0 in 8hrs
I do have WiFi on 100% and moderate uses
Sent from my Sensation 4G using xda premium
Bricked kernel with badass governor or Faux's with intellidemand governor saves a lot of juice. 50+ hrs (OP) IMO is only achievable with an aftermarket battery (e.g. Anker), but the phone must be mostly in idle mode/deep sleep.

Check if an app or process is keeping your phone awake.
Just WiFi is on when sleeping due to sip calling
