[MOD] Battery jumping and accurate reading Fix 2.3.x - HTC Sensation

(First i wanna say: all credits are going to jug6ernaut the creator of this fix)
-= Install Script Updated =-​
I want to point our devs & chefs to a fix which fixes our Battery jumping and misreading of the % level of our battery.
I know we all are suffering from this and a couple off months ago "jug6ernaut" made a fix for this problem which proved to work on the atrix 4G.
I found this fix back then while i was searching for a solution for my HTC Desire rom.
Which had the same problem and i saw this issue occurring again at the time i got my Sensation 2 months ago.
At the time i released my first Sense-o-Maniac Sense 3.5 i implanted these files and the jumping % where over.
Thought this fix will be picked up by others devs but it didn't appear to be.
So thats why i made this topic after a small discussion with "Hlenforcer" who was at first point was a bit sceptic about his.
And he is convinced after trying this fix.
I know you'll be sceptic about this fix.
But please try it and you'll see the magic
What does it do:
While my knowledge is going that far.
I can't realy say what the magic is behind these files.
But it fixes the battery jumping % which occurs after a reboot.
And it fixes the misreading of the % level, i mean our sensations are stuck at a certain % level until it drops like a stone.
I know you all will be sceptic but i'm convinced about the fix and you'll will to after trying it
I'm so convinced about this since i used these fix i never have done batt calibration.
I flash and reflash my rom for development couple off times a day.
I really can't understand why no dev picked it up since we all got the same problem.

Is this universal? meaning does it work on Sense 3.0 and 3.3 \ 2.3.4 and 2.3.5? Wish we had a LIL more info about what this fix is doing. Knowledge is power

Indeed, the real knowledge isn't mentioned in the topic by the creator of this fix.
So i hope someone with more experience on this can reveal it.
But i can tell it's for all GB 2.3.x roms.
I have tried it on my 2.3.3 Desire, 2.3.4 Wildfire S, 2.3.4 Galaxy Tab and my 2.3.5 Sensation
And it worked on all my device like a charm

I had serious jumping issues..
yesterday got Anker battery and charged to full. it remained on 100% for 5 hours in standby mode I was jumping with happiness that I got a great battery and suddenly when I stayed to use it for 10 mins my battery fell in a well.. it was 82%..
really surprised me too that Room devs have not fixed this issue when there was a cure ..
running ARHD 4.1.5 with faux kernel
I will try this and report back

On my old desire i noticed sometimes after overnight screenoff on a couple of occasions 12-15 hours later it was still 100%
Of course it dropped like a stone when i used the phone

I have to say that the first 1% starting from 100% does indeed take a log time.
But with this fix it still does but not for 5hours mine is take a bout 30min.
Also after a good night rest i see a normal batt % increase level.
I mean: going to bed with 100% and waking up with 97% after 7 hours of sleep.
This will not fix our enlarge your battery endurance only the misleading reading issue.

anyone try this on cm7?

Really? Based on what? I have experienced the "jump". He has pointed everyone to the original thread, from there each person can decide to flash or not. I do not see he has done anything wrong.

Helps the batteryfix realy?
Can someone report?

Flashed on sensay 2.0.0
Before flash-61%
After Flash-14%
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

At least for me it worked really good! (InsertCoin 3.4.1 with bricked beta 509 and anker battery)
Would be really great, if some more ppl could join testing, flashing this should not brake anything in the ROM but you should make NAND backup ofc ...

Installed on Hypersensation with Faux's Kernel 0.23.
Looks like it's working good
Dankjewel

on ARHD it worked.... thanks...
the first 1% battery drop taking long is present in almost all custom roms except for Stock rooted by Eddy which doesn't suffer this indicator issues...

I have defintely seen the "jumping" occur
on my Sensation, on every version of ARHD since 3.1. OK, I am going to try it and report back later.
UPDATE: After installing my battery level did not change. Charging now.

That's great that it's helping but that isn't the hard part.... We've "diagnosed " the problem and have a "fix" but we have no idea what it's doing: the important part .
We really need to take these files apart and figure out WHY it's helping. Otherwise this fix is nothing but a band aid.
We may even need some dev assistance reverse engineering the files to figure out what's different.

Best HTC Inspire 4G ROM available TODAY? Advice?

So when the Inspire 4G first came out, I joined from the dark side (iPhone)... and rooted for the first time. I tried InspiredHD and Android Revolution, but this was back when they both had the tinny audio, so I ended up going back to the ATT Stock Rooted ROM because I wanted my audio back.
Now several weeks later I see a bunch of ROMs available, several of which are Android Gingerbread ROMs. Which are the best? Is there a guide that compares their features that are updates on the daily basis that seems to be how often they're updated?
What do you recommend? I'd like one which is Gingerbread and still keeps the HTC sense, I do like my sense. I'd also like one that had the original audio quality, not the tinny audio that came with the preliminary ROMs.
Any advice\opinions would be appreciated.

desire hd coredroid v4 for inspire 4g VS stock rom.
Personally I know that the stock rom to date has best battery life with setcpu.
I am using coredroid and it is very nice, but of course, it has terrible battery drain. 5-10% drain every 45 min.
It would be nice to have a custom kernel or some fix because it is a great rom, the looks and layout is nice.
It does have a fuzzy speaker sound .
I would suggest staying stock for a week or two, until the devs work out the bugs.
There is always a fix for most everything.

Thanks for the tips, yeah I was afraid of the battery drain. I was afraid it might be an issue. The battery is already bad with Stock ROM, I can't imagine it being any worse... 10% every 45 mins, yikes, that's a battery in 8 hours... lol.
I thought the speaker audio issue was resolved. Is this still not the case in 4.0?

As for application's I always do a clean install that way I know everything is right, not like it is all that hard to do.
My battery is lasting a complete day with this rom.
As for sound issues, people think that this is a large home speaker, it is a phone and the speaker works just fine. I listen to Pandora for three to four hours and it is fine for me.

Why would you do a clean install if you don't have to? Seems annoying to have to re-download and re-position apps every time a ROM is flashed.
A complete day for most is less than 12 hours... and if a phone lasts 12 hours sitting unused, it's really not ideal. Considering most people have a hard time getting a full day out of the Inspire 4G even without Mod's, I really don't want to change to anything that'll give me less battery than I already have, hehe.
I wish you luck my friend but this thread belongs in general, not development.

Because the Dev's say to do a clean wipe if you read the post from them and did I not say Pandora for three to four hours, not exactly unused, plus calls that I receive??? Plus do what you want you asked I responded as for anything else I could care less, it is working fine for me.

Calm down...
Speaker Issue: You can say it's a small speaker all you want, but it's still a quality speaker, and the digitized sounding issue was a major issue to me when the first ROMs came out. I don't expect surround sound and bass, but the stock ROM doesn't sound at all digitized\tinny.
Sorry I missed the Pandora comment. Not sure how you stream 3-4 hours a day without a recharge, considering that time of streaming would beat what the phone's battery and radio are capable of doing, but hey, more power to ya.
And for the record, the expression is "I couldn't care less" ... People who say "I could care less" are just repeating improper usage of the english language rather than thinking about what they're saying.

Incorrect. This is a development question. "General" is designed for things like "What speeds are you getting..." kinda thing. Anything ROM related goes in Dev.

Have you done the battery reset procedure to ensure that your battery is being used to its full extent after installing the new ROM? If not, that may be your issue.

Battery reset procedure?!?!?!
Is that like those pieces of tin foil that used to "protect" me from my phone's radiation back in the 90's? LOL
Do explain, or provide link please....
Try something new
If you are really looking for AUDIO, give MIUI a shot. I have tried every ROM out there for the phone and I always end up with either Android Revolution 4 or MIUI. I like sense a lot, thus the AR4. But I often flash over to MIUI because the customizations are great, the themes are fun to play with, and the audio is louder than stock. Battery life is good, not quite stock but not as poor as CM7.
I would also try CM7. Fastest ROM out there, but ASOP reminds my of my old droid x and I can't do that anymore. Neither MIUI nor CM7 are sense and you must install an alternate home launcher if you want scrollable widgets.
My final $.02- try them all. With back ups from ROM manager, you can have several on your sd card!

Rchdmix v3.4 works good for lots of people
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Prem App
Any gingerbread rom right now is going to have battery drain. It is a leaked version from htc, and the source hasn't been released, so there isn't and custom kernel support for it. Modified stock is good, but honestly the battery life on a modified stock isn't going to be nearly as good as a rom based on 1.8X built by Sergio or Mike. Depending on what your doing you on the phone the drain is anywhere from 256-350ish ma, while in standby it stays around 4-6ma on say Android Revolution v3.1 or Coredroid v3.2. In call audio after flashing the sound fix is not going to be stock but it is going to be very close. There will be a sound boost on the outside speaker, so it will be easier to hear it ring. Make sure when you flash the sound fix after flashing a rom or a radio that you wipe the cache and devilk cache.
If ginger bread is what your looking for I would wait, if customization, performance and battery life are what your looking for flash AR v3.1 or Coredroid v3.2
I am not going to tell you how long the battery lasts when I use it cause how much I use my phone may be quite a bit different from how you use your phone, so to say that it lasts so many hour when I do this or that is trivial. But it is certainly longer then stock.
As to what section this should be posted in, it should be general since it's a question, and we have no Q&A section. Development is mainly for ROMS and Fixes, and Themes in apps are mainly for themes, apps, splash screens and boot animations.
Keep in mind you can give all the roms a whirl, as long as you make a nandroid back up with cwm you can flash any rom you like, and if you don't like it then use your nandroid backup to return to exactaly how your phone is right now.
I see some people commenting on how bad battery drain is. Is it really that bad for you? Did you have the captivate prior to this phone? My battery last me all day and into the next day with wifi on. I text a good bit and surf the web. My captivate could barely last till I got off work, this phone I can go to work next day with it on same charge and charge during the day

[Q] SO...my battery takes forever to charge

Running gingeritits IX...newest imoseyn kernel 3.0.1 i think and the new radio leaked early today...and even with all that it takes hella long to charge my phone...any suggestions from the gallery please...i know someone has a solution !! thank you very much!!
and it sucks
Reboot. If you notice slow charging just reboot and it will fix it.
TPrtty sure this is a known issue with the TB and gingerbread. Something the devs just havent worked out yet. Can someone else please chime in on this.
I agree its killing me as well. Takes all of 6 hours or more to fully charge. And makes it hard to charge mid day when you need to bump it back up.
+1
Just loaded up das bamf and seeing this prob as well.
Just need to wait til the Kernels mature id imagine.
I believe the devs are waiting on a official source code release so they can build off of that. I think I remembering hearing that from some where.
Please correct me if I'm wrong
I'm going to bump this because I am having the same problem.... Any fix's on this yet?
My fix has been to plug in my phone, and then reboot it while its plugged in.

oh yeah it has been fixed already. imo version 3.3.4 kernel has the issue fixed. just get the latest one.
You guys should look into synergy Rom. Very very stable(very fast too) and the charging on this Rom is real fast and lasts awhile for me. Just my opinion.

Development Question?

Okay so since i bearly got the charge i saw a few roms, i love this phone! But i do dislike the battery life on this,
And i was just wondering if in the future there will be karnels or roms or tweaks to make the battery better.
I know it bearly came out,
but my question is. Will there be
Deep development with different roms and karnels in the future?

There may be in the future, although I don't think it'll reach huge numbers or variety like say the Thunderbolt or Incredible/Incredible2... There are now a few different kernels which may help with your battery life, as well as an awesome custom rom by Team Gummy for 2.2 froyo and 2.3 gingerbread
We can't foresee the future, but based on the development so far, and on other devices, I don't see why not.
Well dident the facinate get good roms and stuff?
And u know its weird because i have tried everyrom and karnel wit different setting. Undervolt i set about -120 on freaquencies.
idont know if am doing something wrong but still the same.
And well i hope the deva get hands on karnels for more tweaks otherwise id probly be switchin

Significant battery improvements., if there to be had will come from two things..
1. New radio firmware (the ep1q has this although some people have reported issue with pops and noise in the background)
2. AOSP....
Kvswim, am not here for a spelling bee, and yes i have already calibrated twice.
And well ill try the new radio see how that works out.
And what you mean by AOSP?
i Dident know there were full AOSP roms out there.

I was playing around. Gotta have a sense of humor here. AOSP-Android Open Source Project. Pure Android. Stuff like CM7, MIUI, etc.
And for this phone, there are no AOSP roms... yet. We just got CM7 to boot, but it's still a long way from release.

i have no proof for what im saying just a thought.. but ide assume that vzw's lame data service that cuts out whenever it feels like it could def have something to do with our battery issues... if im on a wifi connection.. i can go 30-35 hours from a full charge with heavy use as to where on 3g i get like 15 at max.. and we wont even get started with 4g.. where i can watch it go down like 5% in 15 mins
Oh really? Wow thats a really good life.
Mine goes full 100%from 6 am to 12pm. (Lunch time) and i have 80% without using it -.- it gets annoying.
I even took dàta off and it still went down pretty quick

Total Disappointment

I got to say that even with all of the great development here this phone has been overly disappointing..
This is my Wife's phone I use an SGS II. I was going to keep it stock but she was complaining about it locking up occasionally and poor battery life. So i rooted and have had her try out several roms of several flavors, sense 3.0 and 3.5 gingerbread of all sorts, and different kernels and all.. It seems no matter the combo the general use of the device seem sluggish at times.
Her biggest complaint is how sometimes she needs to pull for the notification bar 3 or 4 times before it will pull down.. Whats crazy is non of these issues are present at first, usually do not show for a few days.
I at first thought it was the set up but after so many mixes of different things i checked that off, then i thought it was an app but i had her go for a few days without installing anything and it eventually still happened..
I have decided it either the device just plain sucks or its the sense garbage clogging it up..
Any good ASOP rom recommendations?
Or any recommendations at all? Maybe someone else who had had issues with this device and who has found happiness could point me in a good rom kernel combo for this POS...
Sorry had to vent.. and any help would be great..
No problems whatsoever on the ROM I'm running. Did you make sure to superwipe in between each ROM flash?

No one else seams to have these problems i get no lag what so ever but if your looking for a good AOSP Gingerbread ROM have you tried Cyanogen Mod 7????? or eve MIUI as far as ICS ROM i like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408351
have you tried swapping/formatting your SD card?
other than that, it sounds like you've tried everything...you may just have a bung handset...your problems are not common
I was having some of the same problems. No matter what Rom/kernel combo I had there were bugs. I went back to stock and voila... Smooth as butter. I guess the updates tmo released really fixed all of the problems I had when I first purchased the sensation. I suggest you try it out.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I have been using sensation for 4+ months now. Yes the stock ROM is buggy but definitely not as bad as you are experiencing. I rooted and install custom ROM after one week stock ROM usage. May be you can try by 1) factory reset if not fixed then 2) format or new memory card.
All Gingerbread based ROM's are pretty good in terms of feature, performance and stability. For starters you can try insertcoin or android revolution HD. I would not recommend ICS based ROM since they are still work in progress kind of mode. Though most of the things will work with ICS ROM, looking at your frustrating experience I would recommend only GB based ROMs.
All The Best!
Faulty handset.
Get it replaced/fixed.
Never have I experienced any of these issues with my Sensation.
I use ARHD 3.6.x since day 1 and it's still as smooth as butter.
I use Daemon controller to take the CPU down to 1GHz.
I have many many apps installed and have nearly filled the internal memory with a few apps on the SD too.
I have removed a few system apps using root. What accounts are you using on the device? I have heard that a sense account can be a bit of a drain on battery and resources.

All of symptoms "pull for the notification bar 3 or 4 times before it will pull down.. Whats crazy is non of these issues are present at first, usually do not show for a few days. " are VERY similar to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239238
There was another link 150+ pages relating to it but can't that one. Anyway, get it replaced.
I think because her nails are long
I had a lot of sluggishness with stock but now I'm using MIUI and it's really smooth and is better on batt life w/o all that stock bloat nonsense. I don't know why I waited so long to root. Every now and then I have issues pulling the status bar but I figure it's just my finger placement or another app is running a task and hogging the CPU for a sec.

All of symptoms "pull for the notification bar 3 or 4 times before it will pull down.. Whats crazy is non of these issues are present at first, usually do not show for a few days. " are VERY similar to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239238
There was another link 150+ pages relating to it but can't that one. Anyway, get it replaced.

This maybe a possibility that she has a faulty touchscreen making it seem to be laggy when infact its not..
Thank you guys for so many responses im going to have her try an ASOP rom like CM7 and see if it helps if not maybe ill get it replaced..
My sensation is sluggish on the stock rom. It operates very smooth on cm7 alpha #10 and the latest miui which i am sporting at the moment. Do u use titanium backup at all in her phone. Ive read some shiz bout TB.

I got the same problem. Takes couple tries to unlock the phone, some on-screen keyboard keys are not responding, notification bar not coming down. It was very annoying and frustrating. But all the problems are gone once I installed CM7/MIUI.

Well shes not home from work yet and im going to class tonight, but I will be putting her on CM7 especially after reading your comment.
I think your phone (hardware) is defected. Get a replacement. I run many of the custom ROM for the past few months and none of them have the problem you described. Good luck.

I really think that you guys are just used to a less than smooth experience. and i don't mean this in a bad way. I have not only been exposed to my wife's Sensation but the weird dude upstairs Sensation >though its stock< is slow and choppy and has horrible battery life as well.. just saying its bad when when you take her G2 running a sense 3.0 rom and put it next to the Sensation running a similar rom and the older device is running it better..
OK, So after trying out the CM7 build and now Hypersensation I am going to say even without waiting <but the next few days will tell> sense is what really hinders this phones performance. Totally 1000% more responsive than ANY Sense rom i have had on this device.. still not up to par where i feel it should be but much nicer..
Ok if shes still in cm7 just leave it dont overclock it. Give it a few charges to settle. Everything should work smooth except the video camera. Glad i could help u.

If she doesnt like cm7 give the latest miui a go. Everything works great. Only bug ive noticed is the wifi likes to turn on by itself once in awhile so keep an eye on it if u try miui. Ive came over from a nexus s and comparing both phones id say the sensation is a hair better plus the build quality is much much better.

Question about issues

Lately I've been flashing various roms trying to find one I don't have a problem in, on the latest saga3d I get a mobile internet failed connection and have to manually turn it on and off till it connects numerous times a day, firstly I'd like to know if anyone else has had this on any Rom and how they fixed it, also can anyone reccomend a STABLE (no bugs so likely will be a sense based Rom) Rom with good battery life , not ics based as the kernel isn't out yet, thanks

I don't know man... The overwhelming majority of answers about yo flood this thread are going to be Endymion...you'll see soon enough. Don't know why its not working for you. I've yet to come across any sense ROM as trouble free as endymion...

I was running v3.5 till yesterday, but I shifted back to 3.4 last night. Can't really put my finger on it, no bug list really, but it just didn't feel the same... Something felt amiss... I know that's not much of an analysis, but something didn't feel right. Maybe I'm just getting old... But I'm back on 3.4 and its still the best IMO, foe some stupid reason which I don't even know...

i did love the swipe in 3.5 although it wasnt ics perfect yet, how did the battery feel in comparison to you, in dont know if i didnt give it enough time to settle but 3.5 drained so quickly compared to 3.4 and stupid old me deleted the 3.4 back up as soon as i made the 3.5 lol

I can't really say... battery almost felt the same to me, given that I was running both 3.4 and 3.5 at the same settings... but honestly speaking, I didn't have it on long enough to be able to proffer an educated opinion. If I was asked like my life depended on it, I would venture that battery life on both versions was identical...
My impression on 3.5 was the battery life improved a little bit. But I cannot state clear facts at the moment though.
also IMO the feeling didn't change. It's still the same safe home to come back to after some adventures
I flashed the battery percentage mod cause I don't need the swipe notification feature. It's only one button and all notifications are gone, why deleting them one by one?
