hi guys,
I must say I'm very very very impressed with my aankr batteries I got from ebay.
with the stock battery, (lastest insertcoin rom)
battery would drain 7~8 % on light use.
bit better on cyanogen mod but prefer Sense over anything else.
got 2 ankrs yesterday
fully charged (first cycle)
battery drain is significantly better.
2% per hour on light use ( some music, podcasts, as before with the stock battery)
I think everyone should get one of these.
Already a thread...

I am thinking of picking one up myself shortly as i now have my CPU running at 1.5GHz funny enough i have not noticed much of a drain battery life wise but still struggle with a full days use.

srry it was an repost.
i was just too excited with the result.
8-4pm i have about 40%left
(with stock battery it went down to 15~20%)
since it's my first charge, it will only get better
Thanks and srry again for repost.
I think the anker batteries are the best thing to happen to the sensation, besides cm7 lol. But with the anker battery I can get 20 hours on a single charge, no BS, I have the screen shots, just don't know how to attach them in XDA app

You can get way over 20 hours. I've had 30+ out of it loads of times. (with fairly light use obviously)
Sent from my brain
yeah I can.vouch for that ....I just got it nd just flashed the messy rom aosp rom and first charge lasted over 20 hours I'm on second cycle now and I'm over 23 hours and I believe at 35 % left ......not even using special kernel ....but I'm gona install new faux kernel and I'm hoping to get Even better life .....

remember boys, to go through 4-5 charge/discharge cycles, like recommended by the instruction manual. it gets better after that.

So I'm enjoying my overall experience with my Sensation but it's really not cutting it in the battery department. I've upgraded from the G1 and the battery life isn't any better. The G1 was great for a while but after being 2+ years old the battery would barely last a full day with minimal usage and every setting off, I could no longer take it. It became so frustrating I had to upgrade for mostly that reason, not to mention the lack of features, and the fact I've had the phone since launch lol. Needless to say, I feel like I'm having the same battery issues as before. For instance I took the phone off the charger this morning and started reading some post here on XDA via the app and after 1 hour and 36 minutes my battery life went from 100% to 67%. I love the phone and while yes battery life is important to me I almost refuse to handicap my phones full potential for it. What should I do?

Search here and in the Q/A forum about getting better battery life and what to expect out of your battery. There are a ton of discussions already with a lot of helpful information for you.
Remember if your device is new... it takes a number of discharge/recharge cycles before your battery gets good life.

plenty of battery threads already.. 1:36 with a 33% battery drain would extrapolate to >4.5 hours of display-ON time. Most ppl consider that pretty (or even VERY) good. If you are going to play the "won't handicap" card so soon, probably no hope for you except get some other phone for which it is easier to get a monster/fat battery.
I came from a G1 as well. I think battery life is MUCH better on the Sensation.

The only way to get through a whole day of moderate-heavy use with this phone (and most Android phones) without crippling it is to carry a spare battery or plug in the phone throughout the day when near AC power... Sad but true..

According to these benchmarks, the Sensation battery is 97% of the Verizon iPhone 4 (the only Iphone variant which had data for comparison)

I'm with you. I can get 8 hours out of the phone if I only have 2 hours of on screen time. My average, with medium to heavy use, is 6 hours and change with 3 - 3 1/2 hours on screen time. And this is with the screen brightness down to 75%. There is no way there is 7 hours straight of on screen time with this thing IMO and from experience.
NOTE: I am piggy backing, but i am not sure if the person is referring to 7 hours on screen time or 7 hours in general.

I'm pasting a post I posted in another thread about my battery life:
Ok... I have a total of 3 OEM batteries. One that came with my phone and 2 other spares. The one that came with my phone is about 3 weeks old, My newest one is only 3 days old and the middle child one is about a week and a half old. I basically charge them fully then wait until it drains fully and turns off before switching the batteries.
Someone said that after a while battery life gets better. I am proof of that. When I first got my phone I was lucky if it lasted 8 hours and amazed if it lasted 10! Last night my 3 week old battery lasted over 14 hours with moderate use! The middle battery that's a week and a half old lasts about 10 with moderate use (same like the first, only getting about 8 in the beginning) The newest one (still going through the 5 charge conditioning cycle) only lasts about 6-7 hours tops.
I dont know if it helps(or hurts) but since I always have an extra battery with me I never half charge them(especially during the first 5 or 6 charges). I always will let it drain then switch
I moved from the HTC Evo 4G and batterylife is much much better with the sensation. Light to moderate use after a 12 hour day i have between 20 and 40 % left. I ordered 4 extra batteries and xtra chargers so i would have extra full batteries at home and at work but i havent needed them. I was so used to the evo that i wish i would've waited on ordering all the batteries... I just assumed it would be about the same...Way better than the evo though. I have friendstream (twitter and facebook) syncing every 3 hours, weather 3 hours and at unlock, mail/calender syncing.( no news, no tell htc, no android backup) i was amazingly surprised. yay sensation!

I have specifically held off from getting another battery cuz I wanted the original one to settle. Now that I have a decent idea of the life span I will look into a new one. I am not sure if I want to by the off brand 1800 one every is talking about or get raked over the coals for an HTC one. decisions...
here's what I've found after having the Sensation since day one. If you are at 2.5 hours of screen on time in the battery stats, chances are your battery is below 30%, and most likely below 20%, no matter what you were doing with the phone (barring constant video playback). I average about 2-3 hours of display on time each day, and I get about 14-16 hours consistently. I sync gmail, email and facebook, pulse and weather auto update. I use wifi and wifi calling constantly.
I set my screen brightness to about 40%, give or take.
I can live with this as it gets me from 5am when I go to work until when I go to bed, which is really all I expect.
I will look into the evo 3d battery though, as that seems like a logical replacement given its higher capacity and compatibility with the Sensation.
i dont know if i should get this phone or wait for the lg thrill 4g?
i just got att 3 days ago and they gave me a iphone 4..since i got it half off cause of where i work. anyways the screen on this phone looks pretty nice and the size is another plus..but im HUGE on the battery life.
looks like people are complaining about the batt life the most..which is kinda turning me off.
can this phone run the mock sense widgets? that were custom made in the evo forum??

This is the wrong place for this post. Please post in Q/A or General next time. The battery life isn't bad for me. I get about 20+ hours a day with medium use.
Mod please move.
oh snap i thought i was in that section.
edit: wtf i cant delete my own thread..
gay.
Coming from an Evo you'll probably think the Infuse has amazing battery life. People complaining usually have a rogue app or are victims of the random Gingerbread battery bug. I've experienced great battery life on both my rom and CM7. By great I mean ~16 hours with heavy usage... 4-6 hours of display on time (browsing and other random stuff) and 1-2 hours of listening to podcasts or music with the screen off. I'm usually connected to wifi except when I'm on the road and brightness is usually set to auto, sometimes to 30 or 40 percent. People have reported 2-3 days without charging if they stay connected to wifi and use the phone very lightly.
Yup, I've gone 3 days with light use and still around 30%. Of coarse, that's on infused though
I get 3-4 days on my captivate with 3000mAh battery makes my phone a lot thicker though
Not sure if they have good extended batts for infuse but the stock battery is a good size. This is my next phone when i resign next month.

So far no extended batt has tested at more than 2500 actual (despite claiming to be 3500).
Alright...this is not to complain about battery life, or how long your battery lasts..i promise..let me tell you my story
My phone got stolen, the warranty people sent me a new one...everything was good ...loaded my usual custom rom..and put my chichitec battery in...
But im getting really bad battery life..so I reversed to stock rom..and getting the same thing..Im getting like max 11 hours on it..but it seems weird that the discharge is (to me) feeling a little accelerated. Im am using this new phone just like i was usuing the other one (the stolen one) yes i understand there are diferent variables however I have kept them the same for the most
Has anyone heard or had the experience of a bad phone that is eating too much juice??? remember..this thread is NOT about the battery itself but the PHONE
thanks!
If the battery is new just give it a few full cycles
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
it aint..thats the worse part ..my chichitec I used to use it on my old phone...could having a new phone act the same way, meaning because its a new phone it needs a couple cycles?
Ok i recommend flash your custom rom and drain battery to below 20% rhen charge for 8 hrs the use the app called battery calibrater from app market then while its on 100% after 8 hrs keep charger plugged in and calibrate the battery following instructions in the app and use normal one or two time and let us no

Just got this battery today ordered it from fleebay few weeks ago, guna see how it goes, 1 thing is do you think the mAh is right was only £5 plus pnp so no big loss if its not better than the stock which I'm getting about 12 hours out of with moderate use

really curious on how that battery is going to perform. please keep us posted!
Will do, who wants to share their knowledge on the 2800mAh as I think it may be bull here a pic of box

EDIT: also should i discharge to 4-5% for first charge as its nearly fully charged
I agree please keep us posted… Thanks !
*Looks* like it may hold about as much as an Anker.
If it fits under the stock back cover............
There's no way that's a 2800mah battery. Do a couple test and see what the deal is, but it is definitely somewhere around 1500-1800mah.
works really good i bought it over on ebay it does wat it says for real i get through the whole day without a prob with modrate use aday and couple of hours i had the package where i get 2 batt which really is a great deal for 15$ better way bettter then stock batt i recommend iit to all fellow xda and ppl that looking at this post to buy it but be sure it have 2 batt and wall charger its rally handy product rating from me 4.5 out 5
Well it about the same size as the stock feels bit heavier to me

Do I still need to calibrate the battery when using batteries that've been charged using my wall charger?
I'm switching between 2 1500mah batteries and 1 3500mah battery (which is probably really about 2200mah) on an every other day basis. Calibrating my battery would be such a pain in the a$$.
I'm running CM9 build 17 with Glitch B6 (although I'd figure that that doesn't really matter).
See this post - https://plus.google.com/u/0/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT
I think it is pretty much saying that battery calibrations are useless.
But it also couldn't hurt right?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA
No you don't need to calibrate between batteries
I didnt when I changed a couple days ago from my almost 2yr old original battery with my new Anker 1800mAh. The life my phone got over the weekend was incredible!
You do still need to occasionally run the battery low (<5%), especially if you've had a series of unintended reboots or see the battery % drop suddenly. Not drain but skip numbers like:70% crash 55%.
