So i have decided to say something, and to write a little "MY GUIDE" :
First of all, this thread is due my AWESOME BATTERY LIFE
I'm running Insert Coin 3.4.1 with Bricked 1.4r1 Kernel.
I have done following steps :
0) First of all, you have to drain your phone dry (dead, till it powers down itself).Turn of fast boot (this is very important)
1) Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more
2) Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour
4) I wiped battery stats then when finishing those 1-3 steps.
5) Used phone regular.
6) For next 2 charging cycles you have to again discharge your phone untill it powers down itself
7) Charge it for 8 hours (i did it overnight)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After that 2 more full charging cycles you can charge your phone as much as you want and whenever you want. Charge it on every percent..
When you are charging your phone (after all 3 cycles), try to charge it when it drops under 30% and to charge it untill fully charged green light.
But i understand that sometimes you cant manage to charge it fully and when it is under 30%. Never mind. It is recommended but it is not required every time.
I'm trying to completely discharge and charge over 8 hours once per 1 or 2 weeks.
And after all this i have very good battery life.
With moderate use, my battery lasts over 24 hours (moderate use - lotof voice calls, lot of text messaging (SMS), checking on foursquare and little surfing over mobile network (HDSPA), alot of surfing over home WiFi.
In standby it cant be compared to anything i have heard here : I have 1% per 3 hours drain in stanby.. maybe even more hours, i cant properly determine but overnight when it is not charging i loose not more than 4-5 %).
My setup on phone is following :
1. Manual setup of brightness (im thinking of getting baadnewz auto brightness tweak)
2. All options in sound settings ( increase in pocket mode, flip over for speakerphone, quiet ring on pickup etc) are disabled.
3. Network is on GSM only. When i need HDSPA i change it manualy.
4. Auto sync is off.
5. Vibrate feedback and typing vibration is ON (i cant live without it ).
6. Dont have any battery saving applcation (juice defender, watchdog )
7. I dont have any mA monitor . Im fine without looking at wrong values monitored . I just have BattStatts (percentage shower).

I hope you like this, and i hope this will help to some one here.
After all this time on this forum (over year and a half), a lot of people here helped me a lot with my problems with my previous device (HD2) and with my current device (Sensation), so i was in need to try to help other people with major problem (battery).
If you want, put this thread sticky, move it wherever you like, if it is helpfull.
Best regards folks.

p.s. If this helped in any way, or you find this post(guide) useful, don't be lazy to click thanks button I thank to you all for your support
Thanks for the info!
I just flashed Faux 0.2.4b kernel on my ARHD 4.1.5, gonna try this whenever I have enough time
Would appreciate thanks button hit
And , yes, try it.. and report results pelease
For example.. I charged my phone today, took it of charger 10am..
With moderate use i have 98 percents now.. It is awsome
That's called bump charging. It may increase short term battery life, but depletes long term battery life. HTC recommended you do this ONCE every couple of months.
Plus our batteries are lithium ion, so doing full charge/discharge cycles will practically have no effect. You could do it just to calibrate it wight the phone, so as the phone "knows" what's 100% & 0%. But other than that, fully discharging these batteries could harm them. These batteries like partial discharge. So charging them when they get to around say, 30% is more convenient for them.
Just thought I'd let you know
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
I didnt said to repeat this every day or week..
I said you should have 2 full charge discharge only once after u done 1st couple of steps..
Full charge and discharge once per 2 weeks will, in no way, harm our phones..
And i said
When you are charging your phone (after all 3 cycles), try to charge it when it drops under 30% and to charge it untill fully charged green light.

I have done steps from above, and i have great battery life.. short and long..
I know our batteries are lithium ion, and i know a bit about them (im finishing Electrical engeneering College here in Serbia (most difficult ever ))..
So
To recap..
This method CANT harm your battery or device.. It can only help your battery life.. Try it.. See it yourself
Thank you for your guide.

Woah, take it easy my Serbian friend. All that I'm doing, is stating the facts & trying to help you understand that what you hear about charge/discharge cycles are just carryovers from previous batteries where it was good to be do several full drain/recharge cycles.
Here's a perfectly clear explanation of the differences coming from experts: http://androidforums.com/incredible-tips-tricks/69534-battery-charging-myths.html
And a more detailed one:
http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
What you experienced is bump charging, like I said, it may increase short term battery life, but WILL decrease its long term usability. So come on, this is a community, we learn from one another
@mzmo :
Mate.. You got me wrong. I appreciate your post in this thread . I find it useful. Ofcourse we learn from each other.
The facts ive put in OP thread are facts from my phone directly . First steps of guide was in mail HTC has responded to me.
So, all in all, thanks for your posts ,and for your future posts.. I find them all like big contribute to XDA community.. After all, i made this thread due to that
Cheers mate
Which bricked kernel version is better for insertcoin 3.4.3, v1.4 or v1.5
Thx
Thanks for the info.. very helpful...... i will try it out frm today. i have a huge battery drain
using ARHD 4.1.7 with faux latest kernel

Hello all i have seen those threads about battery life but i beleive i have the worst..!
My battery last from fully charged condition in about 10 minutes of reading rss news!
It is rubbish it is also this shi* after flash. . .
anyone has a nice solution? or knows why is this happening?
i am a bit afraid of bying a new battery, because this may continue.
I dont know why vox is draining so much.
Second problem is that i cant get any micro sd wo work on it...!
It is really awfull cause vox has very little flash memory...
Please Give as many advices as you can i would be really gratefull!
Friendly Akuma.
Edit: sometime it hard shut down and then gives me false baterry indicate...
I was experimenting with battery life since mine was quickly falling down from 100 to around 75-80% within 15-30 minutes without much using the phone. My observations are as under:
1) Radio 4.1.13.47 seems to be the best in terms of battery use and call quality.
2) while charging I noticed the progress bar under "Power management" menu in settings. What I found is it suddenly shot to 100% (full) from around 80-85 clearly indiacting false charge.
3) To combat this I used my vox for sometime and it quickly dropped below 80% and then I again put it to charge. This time it charged normally for say upto 90-95% and again jumped to 100%
4) I again used it to drop the charge below90% and recharged.
5) This was continued till actually the battery was charged to 100% in normal spped. The experiment took some time.
6) Now I observe that the battery is much much stable and doesn't drain quickly and behaves like a normal battery should do.
7) Regarding battery showing inflated level after hard shut down, I think this is a problem with vox (or windows mobile?) and I also suffer from this.
Anyway you can try my method for battery charging and report any improvement if you find.
many thanks i will do some testing and try this re-charging method and i'll post my results!
One more thing I observed - Operamini 4.1/4.2beta consumes huge power - almost 1% gone every 2-3 minutes. Better if ucweb is used. I have just downloaded ucweb 6.1 for smartphones (English ver) and testing. Hope Ucweb will help to conserve battery better.
If you wish to test, link below.
http://forum.ucweb.com/viewthread.php?tid=226&extra=page=1
and some other things are that if you have windiows update automatic it runs as a process and using your ram.
i found out that rss is too
anyway you can check out your processes and some disable automatic update for them to stop running.
i hard reset and it got better i will do some further testing with you battery trick.
Don't try Ucweb for smartphone. The device is freezing.
Hi all,
My 6 days old Sensation (Vodafone contract UK) discharge a huge amount during Standby (200-350mA). I got the number via Battery Widget Pro 1.65. For the first few days I did deplete the battery fully before charging it to full. Today I have factory reset it to the original condition at around 4pm with 58% battery full. Now at 9pm, it is only 18%. During this time, I spent about 1 hour with the phone, the rest is standby. I set the widget to monitor with 1 minute interval and when looking at the log file, it can be seen that the phone consumed from 200-400mA during the standby time. Coming from HD2 with Android modded 3-8mA standby consumption, this is a huge huge dissapoinment!
Is this because of my battery or is this my phone? Should I ask for a replacement? What about you, did you see similar pattern?
Thanks,
Duong

Ditto!! So annoyed since I too am coming from HD2 where HyperDroid's consumption had dropped to a flat 2mA in standby. This is insane for a native android device. Not to mention the heating while playing games and most importantly, the front facing camera producing upside down image during fring video chats.. grrr!
Dunno what the cause OR solution is (besides switching over to a custom rom if and when the BL gets unlocked and people like pongster develop for this device)...
Overall, sexy device but disappointed with such major holes left unattended..
A little offtopic but was a battery related questions and did not wanna start a new thread so posting here -
Does anybody know of if there's any app which can get the battery percent to show in the top bar instead of the default indicator?
Thanks

Any ideas on how I can do that? I tried using current widget but I guess because it's not rooted, current widget showed me a log of 0mA all throughout (yeah rite! hehe)
when I figure it out myself I'll let you know.
Current things I found that killed my battery over night: VTOK & Google Latitude
I went into Settings --> About Phone --> Battery --> Battery Use and checked, and it says display is eating most of my battery.
As far as mine, I get about 12 hours of battery life with standard usage, with the display eating most of the life, so if you're saying the screen is off, you might get different results...
over my 8h sleep battery dropped like 10%, nothing special (count in : wifi on, sync with gmail, weather) guys. new phone, fresh unoptimized kernel and radio. it'll get better. my prev phone (desire) was like sh*t at beginning in relating to its current spec rom ... and btw for checkin consuption : system panel (not lite), there is monitoring and u can see which apps running again if ya shoot them, check sync-s etc. many many thing to do, hard to tell in a single post

well it certainly sounds like a part of it is specimen issue.. here's my latest experience... last few times i have let it completely discharge and then charge back while the phone was off so i dont mess with it... once 100% charged, i switched the phone on and received a call.. a 25 minute conversation ate away 15% of my battery... LOL...
then, (now it gets better)... in 2 hrs of standby, the phone was at 60% which means it lost another 15% battery in 2 hrs of "standby".. im not sure if i can even call that state a "standby" anymore...
anyways... im wondering if its worth pinning hopes on rom development on our forum or should i just return this and go with something like nexus S which, O well, I can live with... atleast it has a 3300mA batterypack available... what's the use of kickass speeds and features if i have to use a phone like a desktop..
Hey, I have pretty bad battery drain during stand by as well I recommend trying to adjust the sync accounts, esp HTC hub and how often it updates that should improve it...I have a bunch of HTC widgets set up so im suspecting that being the reason for battery drain during stand by also adjust your email update setting accordingly. Every little bit helps!
Battery gauge stuck at 100%
Another one slightly off topic - but why start another battery thread.
It is the second day with my Sensation, and since I took the phone off the charger this morning, the battery gauge has been stuck at 100%. All other apps reading the battery status (e.g. Battery Widget) show the same number. I rebooted the phone multiple times, replaced the battery - nothing - permanent 100%. Has anyone had a similar experience? Did I get a perpetuum mobile ?
BTW the readings were fine yesterday.

Thanks for the pointer.. I will surely try that and see if it makes a difference..
That being said, call me crazy but it just occurs to me that HTC should be putting in some minimal efforts to check off basic quirks like battery consumption and QC. I mean all of us are spending a buttload of money on these devices year over year and then we rely on our devs here to give us basic functionality. Back in the days the reason people joined forums was to tweak devices.. Now it almost feels like we might as well expect only the hardware for the price we pay... disappointed!
Anywho...
I fully charged the phone before I went to bed last night. Eight hours later, the battery is at 10%. Is there something wrong with the battery?
Try using the Spare Parts app to see what's really using the battery in detail.
Hello Everyone,
I have been asked to put together an instruction on how to correctly calibrate
your Sammy Charge battery... so here it goes.
First of all you need to be ROOTED there are plenty of roms and kernels here
for you to pick from so get the package you want Odin or Clockwork whatever you want.
-i will be referring to Clockwork Recovery Mod as 'cwr' from now on-
I am currently running IMNUTS 710 Non-Overclock Kernel and Humble 1.4.2 ROM. Humble ROM comes with a battery calibration app that you might find helpful for this task.
The kernel or rom you have doesnt matter for calibration but you must have the latest cwr witch is bundled with any of IMNUTS' Kernels.
You may have heard of the term 'Bump Charging' this only needs to be done before you calibrate (so you Chargers that are doing this every full charge, you are wasting your time). I will explain what this is if you do not know.
Here are the steps:
1.Turn your phone ON and charge it to 100%
2Turn your phone OFF and leave it plugged in. (you will notice that the battery will begin to
charge again but it will not be at 100% anymore it will show something like 95%.
3.LEt your phone get back to 100% (it will vibrate when it is done)
4.Unplug your phone, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in.
5.WTH! it is back to 95% again!dont panic... LEt it charge again to 100% (2-5 minutes)
6.Now do it again. (unplug wait 30 seconds, plug in, let charge to 100%)
continue this until it shows 100% after 10-20 seconds on plug in. (it took me 15 times,
although i have seen upwards of 20 times)
- some users are saying that the time does not decrease to 100% while doing step 6, 20 times is good enough as all phones/batteries are not from the same mold-
7.Now boot into cwr (if you dont know how then you shouldnt be here)
8.Go to the advanced menu and 'wipe battery stats'
9.Reboot phone via cwr
(((this is where it will differ from the other posts or whatever)))'
10.Drain your phone to 0% and immediately plug it in. (others will tell you to let it die completely and shut itself off... YOUR PHONE WILL NOT LOG CHARGING INFORMATION IF IT IS OFF!!! ((I suggest you do a little troubleshooting to see when your phone will actually turn off. Mine turns off after being at 0% for a few mins. Your's may shut off at anywhere between 10%-0%. If it does shut off just turn it on again and plug it in)). Basically what u am saying is make sure your phone is ON during charging while doing these steps.
11.Charge to 100% (DO NOT UNPLUG IT WHILE IT IS CHARGING... if you get a call or a txt it is fine to use it a bit (and for clearification on 'proper charging' I contacted Samsung it is OKAY to use phone while charging (my bad)).
12.I did this full charge and full drain, plug in at 0% -ON charging, 4 times.
13.Charge it whenever you want.
The android OS logs 'battery stats' and charging habits based on a small window of use. Following these directions will let your phone lock in enough information to max out your battery life.
With strong 4G signal expect 18-20 hours of light use. If you are in a known 4G deadzone download LTE Switch from the Market, it lets you turn off the 4G radio and run only 3G. I personally turn off mobile data unless i need it and have no syncing actions automated. My best uptime was 41 hours and 12 minutes to 0%. Dont forget that all roms and kernels are different so your results will vary. If you are on your phone all the time... playing games, on the net, making calls you will of course have less time.. with heavy use i can burn 10%-15% an hour easy. Get rid of your 'antivirus' crap, your monitoring apps all that shat... it will only sacrifice your battery and it is unnecessary.
For those wondering about LAGFIX:
AlexDeGruven states-
'RFS is the bastard child of FAT and a Samsung developer who didn't understand how modern filesystems work with NAND storage. It has nothing to do with battery usage. For data access, the longer it takes to access the data, the longer the processor is waiting and running wasted cycles. The faster the data is returned from storage, the less battery gets used.'
So turn it on or leave it off, up to you.
I hope this helps everyone get calibrated.
Let me know if you have any questions.
(916) 877-4460 or forum it up!
Reserved for updates
Nice. Hopefully this will stop clogging the forums a little bit.

I went to 100% let it die. next day i used it normal and it was "ok". today my phone has been off the charge for 16 hours now and im still at 39%. Display took 80% of my battery so I'm sure i could easily idle for a few days. the whole time i had 4g and gps on. btw im at stock voltages and oc'd to 1.1ghz

Yeah display burns it up fast. And if you don't have strong 4g 4-5 bars it will constantly 'look' for a better signal where is cycles from 3g to 1x to 4g... eventually someone will write an app or make a system change to combat this.. (I hope). I wish I had the knowledge to do this and make our phones satisfied with low signal strength. :/

Thanks for writing this and for all the other posts you have spread about your methods, yes I read them.
Today was my best day by far. I was 11hrs and 20 minutes unplugged today when I got home and still had 25% of my battery left. I work in a 4G market, and for the first time today I left 4G off and only had mobile data on a few times. I had 1 hr 30 minutes of cell talking ( thats a lot for me) and had my display on 1hr and 48 minutes. This is on the same ROM and Kernal CritalHits is running (with lagfix enabled).
For those of you that think you can't carry this phone around without a charger, you are wrong (glad I finally beleive this). You just can't have your foot on the Hemi throttle all day and expect to get Prius mileage.
Ya I have at least 4 bars of 4g all over my town. I saw 3g once and it changed back to 4g right away

Awesome post. I've read a couple other posts on battery calibration. They've been somewhat similar (except for the last part, like you pointed out), but not as clear.
I do have a question though: Are battery stats erased along with data and other stuff when you flash a new rom, for example? I'm just wondering if this is something you should do every time you flash a new rom and require a data/cache reset. I'm assuming so, since you mentioned that each rom's battery level may vary.
Anyway, thanks again!

yes, every time you wipe data, cache and delvik...recalibrate. Good method. This was the same method posted a year ago or so to help the Dinc get better battery life.
If the battery is properly calibrated shouldn't it make sense to only have to bump charge once?

There's a problem with your process, and it is step 10. Some Charges will shutdown prior to hitting 0% battery level. I've seen my Charge auto-shutdown at 5%, 3%, 2% and 1%.
Also, I don't see the point of letting it drain to zero then charging it back up to 100% without any use. One more thing, you didn't specify whether you wanted the phone off or on during step 11's charge process, but I'll assume you want the device on considering the fact that you mentioned getting calls/texts.
OP, please explain comments about lagfix
What does "lagfix" do? Are you saying that it causes the battery to be used at a faster rate?
I thought lagfix involved making at least some of your on-phone partitions into ext4 rather than Samsung's format.
Thanks for the clear instructions, it includes a detail that makes a lot of sense, except wouldn't the phone shut itself down gracefully when the battery was gone, saving the battery stats?
Ok, so I have my Sensation XE since februrary never experienced battery issues since, except in the past these days. I usually recharge my phone once every 2 days, but now I am *forced* to recharge it every day right before going to sleep.
I don't know what to say excepting giving you some situations. I fully charged my phone saturday at around 5-6 PM. Next day at around 5 PM my battery went to a little under 15%. My phone usage was minimal (only 45 minutes of display), i don't really talk much on the phone, I don't remember how many minutes I spent on phone calling during that time, but I know it was around 10-15 minutes MAX.
Now more recently... i fully charged my phone on the following day (sunday, yesterday) at around 11 PM. Now it's 7 PM, Monday and i'm sitting on 14% 2h27m display time (in 20h30m since discharging from 100%). I usually get a time of 1d10h with 2 hours of display on, but now I'm struggling to get more than 24 hours.
I'm really considering replacing my battery with a better one (not the OEM standard one).
PS: I haven't changed my usage habits, I haven't installed anything that could drain my battery (besides, I always follow the "Awake" bar on the battery history details, and it's ok), I'm using stock ROM.
Try rooting and install different ROM. See if it helps. If not then maybe its time to get a new battery. Btw Anker 1900 mah battery is cheap and works very well. I bought some time back and really happy with this.

No. I want to keep it stock.
If you're going to get a new battery, I'd advise you to get an Anker.
I'd try another battery then if you want to keep stock not much can be done in the way of tweaking. I highly recommend a extended battery. Anker is a good one. If you want an even bigger battery try mugen. Most are very happy with Anker.its inexpensive and works well..best of luck.

Stock UK GB XXLK7 -no battery drain but battery go dawn after restart by 30-60%!
So I bought new original samsung battery 1500mAh - no changes
So I bought batttery 3500mAh with special cover - no vissible battery drain, this battery can handle my phone by ~ 20 hours of playing AVI movie, 720p in loop in MX Player so very good score but battery go dawn after restart by 30-60%!
All battery was tested in my Ace 2 and in my girlfriend Ace 2 (she have fully working phone with no problems) and she have good scores on all batteries but best is on 3500mAh with special cover ( above x2 than standard)
So i went to SSC and they: (stock GB, 0 flash counters)
- take my phone without documents on free guarantees (only box)
- I must come back for that phone in this friday
This above is for + but:
- they **** that work because I have in my ducuments copy a lot of bugs! (street , town)
- they checked my speaker in noisy room (it did not take nearly as booming)
- for those guys after restart when phone loses 30% battery power is normal!
So I go after tomorrow for my phone and we will see ( They will make updates to JB! and they change speaker/ charging module)
Photo for proof attached
If they dont repair my phone I do not buy samsung phone NEVER AGAIN!
EDIT: 3 hours waiting for a response about taking my phone!
EDIT 2: that 3500mAh battery must be loaded 8 hours to get 100% form 0%. (standard charger )
I really want to know what the whole battery dropping after restart thing is about, forever happening to me and sometimes the battery completely dies. It was the same on my original Ace S5830 I got a few years ago.
If you find out, please tell! haha.
After receiving the reply I upload it here
Have nfc version and ni problems with battery with much using and sometimes little bit playing i rech two days
I dont have problem with battery (any) but with phone hardware
I must agree with you guys regarding battery drain. It's suspicios and I am also aware of a fast battery drain from 100% to 65% in just a couple of hours, or very fast after a restart.
Maybe this is the way android should work. I was thinking there was a problem with my phone, but seeing similar behaviour with yours, it must be something related to the android system.
I'm on JB me1 and i haven't this battery dran problem. After the night i just lose 3-7% battery
When I have 100% and I off my phone and turn on battery go down to 50-60% immediately in one secund! It must by hardware foult...this is not normaly working android, for me
Really i don't have sth like that so that isn't real android

well i dont have that
sometimes when i reboot my phone it goes from 45% to 47%
and some times from 45% to 44%
This is ok
I thought that is not really a battery draining. But it just about battery calibrating. Your phone need to calibrate the battery. Thats the problem.

lol actually "calibrating" is just a myth. It doesn't really do anything.

Really??
However, I've never done any battery calibrating..but I read in some thread, need to calibrate the battery, so there will be no battery misdisplay on the battery icon...logically, I thought, our devices will some time miscommunicate with the battery because there are no battery parameter to make the system understand how much the battery stored....
But I don't know if it just a myth...

its normal to see 99% when unplugging from charger, 3%-10%(Max) drop on rebooting. Battery is usually inaccurate after charging, what I do is plug it in then reboot. then it displays the right value after unplugging, usually my battery status is really inaccurate but it returns to normal afterwards (it'll show charging icon even when unplugged and charge to 100 then stops and returns to real level). I don't believe in this calibrations and have found enough proof its useless, I think most xda users agree too. Try searching some threads.
