hi, how much more of the battery power do the SENSE 3.5 use compare to SENSE 3.0?
Some people are finding 3.0 has better battery life than 3.5, but I'm not sure by how much
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
From my experience about 10% more for the sense 3.5 ROMS.
Also mind that some roms have more battery drain than others. I have encountered sense 2.x roms that have much more batt drain than sense 3.0 ones and i'm sure that it's the same case with 3.0-3.5.
Anyway, it's a matter of trial and error as each user fiddles with his phone in his own way and some features u may use could be more energy consuming on some roms.
My advice is do a backup of ur current rom and install a few of the new ones ur intrested in and play around with them for a day or two each..and don't forget to calibrate battery after each flash!
Best of luck!

I am one of those 'some people" but i may have reacted a bit too quickly.
After recalibrating my battery, i've found that there isn't a huge difference between battery drain with sense 3 and 3.5... When i say sense 3 and 3.5, i mean Hyperion and Endymion (always go with the best benchmarks )
So it's pretty much the same for me right now... (plus i think sense 3.5 is so pretty, you spend extra time staring at it, thereby the battery drain... )
Just kidding. Or am i??
Im using my HTC very often through the day....
With Virtuous Unity 2.39 and Juice Defender my battery is living 2 days!!
In one day i write/receive 500sms per day and WiFi OR 3G are always enabled...

has anyone experienced better battery life with either rom? if so please share what you had prior and what your using now.
thanks
I love non sense Idk why its just smoother
HTC Inspire not Desire
Chocolate or vanilla? non sense is going to have better battery life then sense roms but its all preference.
Either can have good battery life. Sense roms need more crap removed since it comes with more crap. Removing the extra bloat from sense and cutting out some of the social network syncing really helps. Htc's own little download thing can be a huge pig for example.
Otherwise its more of a blonde or brunette preference.
I have used Sense roms and they seem to be really poor on Battery. I switched to CM7 and never looked to sense. Sense makes no-sense.
thanks for the responses. personally i like the sense roms. i've been using coredroid and am happy with the visuals. i've been using current widget to see my power drain and it just seems that my device uses more power than other phones. ive got most of my settings tuned down to 1hr peak/4hr non peak intervals and once a day fb updates.
I've been using MIUI and IMO, there has been no difference in battery life between it and RCMixHD.

I've been using Android Revolution 4G 3.2 on my Inspire 4G and regularly see 15-18 hours of use before needing a recharge. Brightness on 40% and wifi stays on all day, no GPS use.
I wouldn't mind CM7 + HTC Sense Facebook
I was using no sense for about a week and switched back to a sense Rom. Actually, an inspire based rom is my preferred choice right now.
I prefer no sense. With no sense roms, you can customize more.
Just off battery life alone I vote for non-sense ROM's.
I'm running CM7 and the battery life is great.
My experience with different ROMs' bat life:
1.CM7
2.Stock AT&T
3.Android Revolution HD 3.3(just a bit worse than stock)
4.CoreDroid GB v5.1[decent ROM but HORRIBLE battery life (for me)(could be because I'm running stock radio)]

Just wondering how all of you are finding battery life on CM7 (or possibly other AOSP based ROMs)
One of the main reasons I decided to ditch Sense 3.5 and use CM7 was the battery gain (as Sense is known to be a heavy resource hog)
The speed is amazing. Much faster than Sense, no doubt.
But I'll be honest. I'm not too impressed so far. Battery seems to be more or less the same for me on CM7 as on Sense ROMs. I thought many people said it was better?!
What about everyone else? Is battery life for you good or bad on CM7?
Cheers!

In the end it really depends on how you use the device. Most do see better battery, but to be honest I see the same battery life on a sense based rom that I removed most of sense from that I saw on CM based roms
Thanks for the reply mate!
Yeah, I'm talking about using the phone both In the same way I do on a daily basis.
On either ROM, they both require me to charge it everynight.
I don't see much of a difference... I was hoping for the promised great battery life on CM7!

CM7 is great it really does save battery just find the right settings for your phone mate
i can easily recharge my phone everyday but with good settings i easily make a 2-3 days battery life time using cm7 with usage of my phone

Care to share your settings?
I'm usually a very careful user with monitoring my battery
I have CPU profiles to Underclock, I switch of radios when I don't meed them etc
But my battery life is the same as Sense.

For my LG GT540 the battery life increased with CM 7.1.0.
I think it is depending on battery type and device.

Well I've got a HTC Desire S . Before, I was using Sense ROMs which were known to drain battery quicker.
Quite impressed so far today though. Battery seems to be lasting longer than the past dew days for some reason.

Battery life takes a few days to even out after a rom flash. Normally run a rom for about a week to get a real feel for the battery life
I found the battery life to be about the same as sense when i installed CM7 on my HTC Desire GSM. But that was a non-issue for me since I have a charger in the office and at home.
When I had an HTC Desire, I always got much better battery life from AOSP roms such as CM7.
On the other hand, others reported that they got better battery life from Sense roms.
Try it out and see.
Thanks for the additional replies! Yeah, I think my battery has improved more since i sstarted this thread, as the phone has settled down more...
I had 83% battery when I unplugged my phone at 7AM this morming.
Now its 11:35PM and I got 8% left
I've been using the phone moderately for web browsing, texts, calls, installing apps, arond 1hr aand a half music. Also managed to do 2 NANDroid backups and 1 restore! pretty impressed so far!

I find pretty similar battery life, on my desire S. haven't really found any mod providing better life than any other.
have you tried the battery extending tip here (can't post link, stupid new poster restrictions):

My battery life has been much better on ASOP roms like CM7 than sense roms. Plus you can't beat the extra storage room that ASOP roms provide.
The battery life on my Optimus 2X grew by probably about 20%, then using vadonka's kernel, it increased it a bit more. I haven't really tracked it but it can go for a few days if I turn off data, 3G and just leave it though!

Yeah I know! one of the advantahes of AOSP, I have much more ROM storage space!
On Sense, with all my apps, I had 860mb free
On CM7 with all my usual apps, plus a bunch of themes and games I have 0.95GB free! Amazing!
I also have at least 150-200mb more RAM ttoo

My battery life with CM7 has never been better than standard. In fact: I am now back on rooted stock and my battery life is Amazing!
So, it depends...
I personally found it better than that of stock battery life. Then again, stock Droid2 is HORRIBLE in every aspect.
Many thanks for the replies fellas, I appreciate it

I'm wondering what 4.0 rom's offer that the 3.6 roms don't. I'm not asking "what is the best rom.." but wanting to know first hand experience why people have chose to use any of the sense 4.0 roms instead of the standard ICS 3.6 ones.
Mainly wondering about the top concerns: performance, battery life, usability and camera/video.
Thanks ahead of time, I did search and didn't find answers to my questions.

What I can tell you is that if you want performance, with any doubt go to sense 3.6. Sense 4.0 are still too laggy. Camera I would also tell you sense 3.6 due there is a mod for 40 mbps video while in 4. 0 its just 20. Battery life I can't tell you because I don't feel any difference.
I'm using a sense 4.0 rom because I really like the user interface and the cool clock.

I like Sense 4 ROM's, the looks are better than 3.6. I notice that the battery life is a little worse tho than 3.6 ROM's but I'm a heavy user so to me it's all pretty much the same. I'm using OrDroid and its nice and smooth but after a few hours it gets a little sluggish. There is a MMS problem also but besides that it's pretty much stable.
I tried sense 4 never been back to 3.6, TRY FOR YOURSELF
i tried 3.6 , 4.0 and to be honest sense less roms are the best. fastest, better battery life, cleanest than any other sense rom
Buy GNex then.
You could always make a nandroid backup and try it for yourself. I tried out OrDroid for the past few days and I found it stable and useable enough to be a daily driver (I don't really use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi Hotspot) but I eventually went back to ARHD because it seems more stable anyway. Having said that I like the user interface of Sense 4.0; it looks so much better. I didn't really notice a significant change in battery life with Sense 4.0, but my usage pattern varies from day to day so it's very hard to tell. My phone was hotter with Sense 4.0, but that could have been the kernel.

Yes since we're getting it without buying anything. Haha,
Tried a sense 4 rom already but still too heavy and slow for my taste. I'm now using a senseless rom.
Uhhhh, sense 4.0 rocks. I was using OrDroid 2.0.6 and now onto newer 2.0.8 and I can say its amazing. I have experienced no lag no poor battery performance or any ill effects. There is a patch for mms fix in op of ordroids forum and to get good battery life u must put phone thru a couple cycles after battery calibration. If u people would dig a little u will find the things needed for good performance. Sense 3.6 sucks compared to 4.0 and that's a fact. Simply flash and see for yourself dude. I dare ya to.

can anybody recommend any roms or mods that will help my sensation gain excellent battery life? ive tried multiple roms on gb and ics and still have had no luck. more recently ive tried ordroid, android revolution, and aokp build 37. with multiple kernels and the xxxpachaxxx-take-batterylife mod and still no luck. i can average about 9-10 hours with moderate usage but i really am looking for about a full 24 hours. is this even possible? ive had multiple phones in the past and there were a few i was able to gain excellent battery life on. for example mytouch4g on a few miui and cm7 roms could get me almost 36 or more hours, now i did keep data off when i wasnt using it, but im doing the same for my sensation and still no luck. is there anyone out there who has any recommendations or answers for me. i realize that not every chip is created equal but this is my second sensation, did i just answer my own question??? thanks in advance
hi,
Did you try ORDroid rom? I think is the best rom in terms of battery life/performance.....
I'm sorry if this an offence to anybody but with my experience it is not. Try hypernonsense for battery.
Also I've seen a mod in the dev section somewhere which brings about good battery but a large sacrifice is required, if you chose the power saving option that is. It only ever has one core running I believe at 1.5ghz ( the processors' true power ).

Check out one of my last posts.there's a link to a very useful battery guide. It helped restore my battery "life".
Also, newer phones use more power. Extended batts. Help this but eventually it will take new tech.nuclear powered phones would last a while.
I'm using a 1900mAH anker battery combined with virtuous inquisition 4.02 gives 24 hours easily. In fact my record was still on 62% after 24 hours
No other ROM comes close. You have to upgrade the battery though as well, which is dirt cheap for the anker.
Definitely up grade your battery ! I use Anker. It's much better than stock! When you switch from rom to rom, go into recovery with 100% full battery and plugged into charger, wipe battery stats from recovery then unplug charger. This will help with the battery life. Hope this helps you. As for Roms I'm currently using ordroid but the best battery life I ever got was from virtuous inquisition, likely because its a SENCELESS rom, I missed sence so I changed over to Ordroid. I wanted to give sence 4 a try. It's a give and take depending on what you want. If you don't care for sence and only care for battery life V.I. is the way to go. Hope I helped you

I'm currently using android revolution hd 6.6.5 and for my needs the battery life is fine.
I have to agree that with OrDroid my battery got drained a lot faster so I switched back to arhd Rom.
I have been on VI as well and it looks slick, mega fast and the best battery life of them all only I found a few bugs and switched back to arhd.
Still I'm used to sense now and ARHD is just the nicest Rom out there for me atm but that's just my opinion

I am running Elegancia ICS Sense 3.6 TMOUS_Edition_3.0.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663665) using the Bricked v1.1 kernel and am getting about 26 hours with light use and 18 hours with moderate use. In this day and age of power-hungry smartphones, I find this to be quite good!
U may use Faux's kernel on IntelligentDemond gavenor, it has good performence and long battery life.
