Kernel Change Not Fixing ARHD 3.6.5 Battery Drain, Any Other Ideas? - HTC Sensation

I've been following the battery drain issue with ARHD, and I've tried changing kernels from the stock Faux, to Faux123 0.2.4.r, Bricked 1.5 and even Bricked 1.4r. None of these has fixed the drain problem for me.
When I look at Battery Monitor Widget, it shows between 100mA to 150mA when the phone is sleeping, so I'm pretty sure this is where the drain is coming from. Is it the rom or a "rogue app?" I turned off wifi, mobile, gps, bluetooth, etc. and the drain stayed at the same level while the phone was sleeping. What can I do to find out what the problem is?

yup am in a similar boat, would love to know the answer

Do you use facebook etc. How often does is sync? Do you have IM programs running such as Meebo or anything of that nature? What is your brightness at (hopefully not Auto). Does your radio get good signal (Menu > Settings > About > Battery > Battery Use > Click picture of battery drainage up top and is the phone signal section green, etc)
There are many things that can factor into this.

I do not use facebook, I have sync turned off, and I also have wifi, mobile, gps, and bluetooth off. For brightness I use the dimmer app, so it is on its lowest setting. Taking your advice, I looked at my radio signal, and using the recommended radio for ARHD, it showed the radio was not green but grey.
So I reflashed the radio to the one in your signature, and now that bar is yellow. I'll monitor this and let you know if this fixes the problem. Is the radio supposed to be green? Is there another radio I should try if this doesn't work?

Make sure you flash the matching RIL files to match the radio (when you do this in Clockwork Mod or 4Ext mount /system first before flashing the zip) to give best radio signal.
Green means you are getting good signal, yellow means decent, red is awful. Grey I honestly have no clue.
Different radios give different results for different people. I am not sure where you live to know the best radio to suggest but any changes make sure you match the RILs for that radio.

@ Kohr-Ah
where do you get the matching RIL's from ?
say I tried a different radio on my phone, just to try to get a decent usage from my battery, where does the RIL come into the equation ? what exactly is a RIL and what doe it do ?
Oh, I'm in the UK so if you have a good radio suggestion that I could use on the O2 network, feel free to let me know

Same here, sometimes it gets as low as 40mA but just stay like that for 2 minutes then it's back at between 90-180mA in sleep mode. I'm on ARHD 3.6.5 with Bricked 1.5... Stock gave me about 2 1/2 day of normal use, now I'm down at about 10-12h... Seems to me it's a ARHD problem and not Kernel cause I tried a few Kernels as well.

How about giving the stock kernel a try? Along with what everyone else is saying of course.

Matching RILS (Just match to the radio you just installed)
MUST MOUNT /SYSTEM before you flash. Otherwise they don't install.

That explains what the Radio Interface Layer is and does. Basically communicated the radio portion and telephony portion of your phone (if you don't want to read a techinical site)

Thank you so much for your help so far. I'm on Tmobile in the USA, what radio would you suggest for that, and where do I get the RIL files from?

I've had a good experience so far (in terms of both battery life and data reception) with the 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M radio and HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ. I tried the XE radio before that (10.15.9035.02_2 and HTC-RIL 2.2.0173HMQ), and it was also pretty good, but it seems like battery life and data reception is a bit better with the first radio+ril I pointed out.

Cause stock can't record calls... But I'll try that for test purposes and post the result here. I'm also going to try a different radio and perhaps a different ROM (maybe both Stock and cooked).
I installed Faux 014 last night and it worked really good (50-55mA in sleep) until I sent a text, after that it was back to "fake' sleep mode with 90-180mA. I guess this can still be Radio, ROM or Kernel... The search continues.

I have the same problem with both faux as bricked kernels. I never had this problem until I recently upgraded the ROM.
In sleep mode it takes about 6% battery per hour, with background sync off this is reduced to 4 - 5%. I usually lost about 1% and 2% max when it was sleeping. Didnt install anything new... And this is on my Anker 1900mAh battery. I really dont want to know how fast it will burn through my stock battery

Are you using the stock kernel that came with your Rom? If so try the one in my sig (click the name) and set OC Daemon to Bypass 192000/1560000 Intellidemand. See how that does.

Ok, I'll wait 3 charges and report back. During say when you first flash a new kernel, have you looked at the battery monitor app to see the drain? Like I've been saying, when the phone is asleep its draining over 100mA when this should be around 20mA or so. What could be the cause?

[Q] Massive Battery drain

Hello,
I've got a huge problem with my battery. I use the Android Revolution HD 3.6.11 with OC Daemon 1,5 GHZ. I've also installed the recommend radio and wiped my battery stats. CurrentWidget tells me that the average battery usage is about 53 mAh without Wi-Fi and 559 mAh with Wi-Fi. Also, the app "Wheres my Droid Power" tells me that 17,07 percent go to HTC Sense.
Do you have any tips how to fix this battery wasting ?
Thanks in Advance
Unlocer
I have the same problem, only the most usage of the battery is going to the Display and I don't know why. if someone could explain will be very helpfull.
I use the same rom and all.
my mobile HTC Sensation XE
Thanks
i have the same problem even though i'm still on 3.6.8 but i'm gonna flash 3/6/11 today
The best things I have found for battery drain is to make sure you do a full superwipe before every ROM flash, Lower the brightness of the screen (change from auto), disable tactile feedback, turn off BT, Wifi, GPS etc. when not in use (Tasker is very good), Also perhaps change your radio, if it's not for your area it could be sucking a lot of battery.
Hope this helps, but like i said this is what works for me, I also noticed that MIUI has great battery life and even now that im on ICS its great, Also just buy a bigger battery, I currently have 2 x 2450mAh, one in my cradle and one in the phone.
i have the battery drain problem alsao. i test with many different roms ,and Before install any rom, i always did wipe data/factory reset- cache- davik cache. Then format system. But it can't solve the problem. I monitor the battery with current widget app, and its log always show my battery drain from 60 mah to >200 mah (every 5 mins) when my phone in sleep mode (with : no auto-sync, wifi off, even data off, no gps, facebook, mail...is sync every 4 hours)...The lowest result i got is 9mah but it's not stable. I just don't know what is happening with my phone. Sorry for my english.
flash the bricked kernal thats the biggest battery saver tip.
What Radio Are You Running
I am having a problem and it started after I did the firmware flash upgrade and I was curious what radio you are running as stock. I am in Phx, az

I would download and flash the superwipe script before flashing any ROM rather than doing that stuff manually. Some users have reported that when they flashed the ROM again it sorted it out.
Deleting htc peep account in synchronization & accounts has also been reported to work in some cases.

1. i did flash super-wipe.zip before installed roms too.

FYI, i am currently running OneICS 1.04 senseles rom. After i installed this rom, i fully charged my phone . 19 hours later with very minimal usage, my phone have 30% left.(screen up time is about 2 hour only).

I also used Super Wipe before installing the ROM. And I never activated a HTC Sense account, aswell.
I tried the Energy ROM now and I have to say, the battery life is much better than in Android Revolution.
Had the same problem myself, that's why I switched to MIUI.

I have StraightTALK Sims, all DATA, SMS all working,
My Battery dose not last so long, 3 to 4 hrs, mostly not in use.
I seen a lot of post talking about this rom, and that rom works the best. or the battery last for 7+ hours.
My phone is not running a lot of apps, I even uninstalled my Anti-Virus.
I have to keep my phone on the Charger a lot. I even bought a New battery and same thing.
Thanks
Have you tried recalibrating the battery? Also, how much "screen -on" time during your 3-4 hours use?
Sent from a payphone!
Sorry, just noticed you said mostly not in use.
There's a apps you can download from the market- Battery Recalibration and Current Widget...with these 2 tools and a little knowledge of what running app/services are doing, you can track what's going on.
Or, you could just simply have a bad battery or a gooned-up flash (it happens).
Hope this helps.

On the contrary, battery calibration has been proved to be nothing more then just a peace of mind type of procedure and really not a huge benefit. My advice would be to get Current Widget and fully charge your phone. Unplug it and let it sleep for about 6-8 hours with current widget logging the mA drain (the log is an option in the app itself, you just need to enable it). After the 6-8 hours ( I normally do this when I sleep so I know the phone is not in use) check the log and see if there is any weird mA drain. weird would look something like
1ma
3ma
180ma
230ma
1ma
2ma
Normal would be:
1ma
1ma
4ma
5ma
1ma
You get the picture hopefully haha. If you have weird drain then best bet would be to full wipe and reinstall the rom and individually install your apps one at a time and monitoring the mA usage to see what apps cause the drain and what doesn't. You can also try new radios with their matching RILs and see if that helps. There are also apps like Juice Defender and Green Power that have been said to improve battery life up to 2x. Hope that helps.
I have tested apps, done the ( Let the battery die, and then charge wait off to give a more of it charge.

let your phone die and then recharging it fully does nothing for abnormal battery drain. So in that regard the only thing you proved to yourself was that your phone can charge properly. Are you 100% sure you are running the proper radio for the ROM or have the matching RIL for your radio? I still think its an app running in the background that is causing your problem. Are you sure that you full wiped and reinstalled the rom. Then with each app you want, install one. wait for 30 minutes and allow current widget to log the mA activity. Check the log to be sure there are no crazy spikes in mA and proceed to the next app repeating the same process. I know its annoying but that's the only way to be sure that your apps aren't causing the drain.
Also consider turning off sync, which I've heard can be a battery drainer. Turn off wifi as well when need in range since the scanning for wifi causes battery drain as well.
I really don't know, when I first got the phone, I Rooted it and unlocked it.
I Do have straight talk Sim I have been using.
all I did was change the ROM( I Think).
with all the little problems I'm having, I was think I have a lot wrong with it!
So I was going to download a need ROM, I seen talk about Radios, or RIL, and ROMS.
so No I don't know If I have everthing right.
I wasl looking atRCMixHD 4G V3.4 ROM, and if I used it, what Radio and RIL would I need.
having Stright Talk Service, witch runs on ATT, with difference APN settings.
what Would I need?
Thanks. Terrell
Usually, the ROM has all the correct radios, RILs, kernels etc inside the ROM itself and you would only need to change if you had some need for a different radio, like if you got poor service where you live. Kernels are dictated by the ROM.

All I can say is wow. 2,000,000 Roms and I still not know LOL. Thanks for all the info so far.
When you install a custom ROM it will include ROM, a certain RIL, and the kernel that the DEV has used with the ROM all in one package. The DEV will USUALLY let you know what the recommended radio should be to match the included RIL. You could flash it before or after you flash the ROM.
If you are having battery issues I would first start with a new battery. If you have already done that then flash a simple ROM for testing purposes. Stay away from highly tweaked and modified ROMs with a kernel set up for overclocking. I recommend juicy ROM from my sig. Install the 2.52 (R2) version which is still sense 2.5 and gingerbread 2.3.3. The ROM is flawless and you will get the best battery life than from anyother ROM. SEE how your battery lasts with it.
If you have your brightness set high, have many apps running in the background, are in an area where your signal is poor and is constantly lost, are syncing many accounts constantly, and you can't seem to put your phone down, then your battery will not last that long.

bootlooping isn't the end of the world. It only becomes an issue if you can't boot into HBOOT. You can boot into HBOOT by turning off the device and then holding the volume up and power button at the same time. You will then boot into HBOOT. From here your device will scan for a "PD98IMG.zip". I'm guessing since you don't know how to get into HBOOT then you've probably haven't flashed a radio so you shouldn't have a stray PD98IMG.zip on your sdcard. After it scans and doesn't find a a PD98IMG.zip you will be given a few options. One of which will be to boot into recovery. Do that. From there you can check the md5 (if you're using EXT4 recovery). If you want you can re-download another ROM and from recovery you can mount your SDcard so you can put the new ROM on your sdcard and flash per usual.

[Q] Battery life - what mA value is normal?

Hello everyone,
I have looked around the forum and it seems like most of you guys with Sensation + 3.12 or 3.24 or 3.30 firmware and ICS Roms have good or great battery lives.
This is not the case for me unforunately with Sensation XE. battery drain is so crazy that if i go to sleep with 100% charged - the battery is dead when i wake up (in a metter of 8-10 hours) while the phone is not used at all, wi-fi and mobile network off.
I have tried
- full-wipe
- reflash
- calibration
- discharging to 0% and recahrging - couple cysles
- waiting 4-5 days until the ROM settles down
- removing microSD
- canging batteried (i have anker and stock htc both in good health)
- i am not overclocking
but still the battery drain is very bad.
I am now using Battery Monitoring widget but i cannot find what app or process is causing the problem.
Here are my questions
1) What is the normal mA value (displayed on battery monitor widget)?
what are your lowest and highest values? for me lowest is about 65mA and highest over 700mA. Is it to much? Those of you guys with nice battery drain - could you please install Battery Monitor Widget and let me know you values?
2) How can I find the app (if its an app) that takes the juice? I tried to see stats in battery monitor widget - but all I can see is some k.workers
I even tried to full-wipe and not to install any apps. Currently i have GoLauncher, GoSMS and Battery Monitor Widget, PlayerPro and Android Pro Widgets.
3 ) here is my battery history. Does it look normal?

Any advise and help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
It seems high but not outrageous. You gave about 70-100mAh when not in use which is about what I had with factory rom. I assume all the usual things are done like GPS off, brightness low, wifi on etc.
Do you have poor signal, and are you using mobile data a lot? That increases battery usage.
To assess more fully the processes running I use system tuner pro. This allows you to see user, system & kernel processes and sort by memory, CPU time etc.
I currently see around 30-60mAh when idling.

Hello,
thanks for reply.
My Signal is good (full-bars) Mobile Data is off, WIFI, GPS are off as well
and brightness low... but actually the screen is off when i am sleeping...
I understand smartphones use power, especially on mobile-data and WiFi, but I hate that feeling when I wake up and see my phone's battery dead....
never got as low as 30mAh even when completely not in use with everything off.
I will try to use System Tuner Pro - maybe will find out somethinh.
OK post back results perhaps I can help more.
I'm looking at STP now, using task manager I can see my top processes in terms of CPU time are:
STP
android system
Xda premium
Android keyboard
/system/bin/surfaceflinger
Gmail
System UI
do nothing untoward, I would expect those to be running given my usage right now.
Use STP to record a period when you sleep, you can then do this process check to see what's running.

My battery is pretty much the same and I'm on a fresh ics install. This device seems to just suck a lot of battery. The screen especially.

Hmmm my sensation XE used to have at least 1.5 times as much power (when used) and 2 to 3 times as much power when not used befor upgrading to 3.12, 3.24 and 3.30.
I know what you will tell - go back to Gingerbread.
I am actually considering this. but many people say with ICS their battery is better then ever before.
Is it ICS who sucks the power then?
Thanks
From your stats you are losing 1% in 5 minutes in standby, my sensation (with virtuous inquisition ROM) uses less than 1% per hour - that's with a good 4G connection in standby. My 1900mAh battery lasts over 24hrs with up to 6hrs screen on during that time.
To eliminate hardware flash a fresh ROM and firmware, boot a couple of times (don't install any apps) then remove the SD card and put the phone in airplane mode and leave it overnight on standby. If you're losing more than 1% per hour, then your phone may be faulty. If not then you'll need to try things one by one, turn airplane mode off, insert SD, then apps until you find the problem.
Looking at the instant mAh figures won't help you a lot, the battery driver for the sensation is useless and BMW has to estimate the figure.
Thanks for advice.
Could you please let me know the firware you are using?
3.12, 3.24 or 3.30 ?

From your stats you are losing 1% in 5 minutes in standby, my sensation (with virtuous inquisition ROM) uses less than 1% per hour

3.12. I had the 3.24 ready to load when VI 3.5 was released but everything worked fine on 3.12 so I left well alone.
Ok here is what happened
1) i falshed new 3.30 RUU and ROM with fullwipe etc
2) booted the rom put it to settle fo 30 mins
3) rebooted 3 times
4) then charged to 100%, and switched airplane mode ON
with Airplane Mode on - I have lost 25% of battery during 3 hours without touching the phone. That makes 12 hours without using the phone at all.
I am starting wondering if it is not the firware that is causing the problems... Maybe i should go back to 3.12 or even earlier.
Anyone can please point me to some firmware earlier to 3.12?
I do not think it is a faulty phone, because I have 2 phones and both have same problem. and both started having this problem after upgrading to ICS...
let me know you thoughts and please a link to an earlier firmware (earlier than 3.12)
battery drain
i would say you have normal operation .
mine is between 50-100 MA and yet when not using it during night in the morning i am still at 100%......
when keeping it for a whole day not using it i am droping from 100% to 87% for about 24 hours idle use ....
so i would say check your battery when it starts or is it from the day you got your device .....
Thanks for reply, oferyama
Normal operation ??
You lose 23% in 24 hours while
me - I lose 1% every 5 minutes = teh phone is dead after 10 hours of idling.....
Probalby mAh reported vaules is incorrect, and the important thing is how many % you lose per hour
Did you flash a custom kernel at all?
What rom is this problem occurring with?
Sent from my Pyramid-T
I have tried many ICS ROMS - Elegancia ICS, AnroidMe ICS, LeeDroid ICS = same problem. i also tried 3.12, 3.24 and 3.30 firmwares
but I cannot remember if the problem started when i upgraded to 3.12 or 3.24.....
From today I have 3.30 jsut for testing... and if everything fails - planning to go back to Gingerbread to see if it helps...
Hi umka, I had same problem as you. Try this to figure out what's eating your battery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
I'm using VI 3.5.1 beta and battery drain varies from 30 to 82mA while not touching a phone at all on stock XE battery. While i'm typing this, I have 78% battery, phone is unplugged for 10h and 6 minutes. I'm using SebastianFM kernel 1.11 (this one: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64017594/HTC Sensation/Overclocked_kernel_v1.11_1512_MHz_by_SebastianFM.zip) on my Sensation XE. Radio is stock for FW 3.30. Adequate RIL of course. Lots of apps installed, many of them are disabled from autostarting. I'm using Shnizlon's theme (just aosp bar).
Desktop: minimalistic text with weather info, updating every 3 hours.
Hope this brief info will help you to figure something out.
Good luck!
Thanks for reply - trying this right now....
Amon87, could you please let me know what was eating batery in your case?? I have just flashed a new ROM and did not isntall any applications at all... Where shoud I look at?
I was suspecting the radio, but i tried different ones... and i tried airplane mode - but even in airplane mode when radio shoud not make any difference the battery drain is terrible..
i will post you on the results

So no kernels flashed desperately to rom?
Did you have any results from STP finding the battery killer? Do you restore app/data after each flash e.g. with TiBu?
Sent from my Pyramid-T
Sorry to say, but i just don't remember the name of that app. For sure, main problem for me was radio and unmatching RIL.
I recommend you to try different kernel and change governor. I'm using system tuner pro to change this. When screen on: ondemand 192-1.51. Screen off: interactive 192-648MHz. But try powersave.
Another clue. Maybe somehow second core is constantly turned on?
What recovery are you using to flash roms, kernels etc? For me it's newest 4ext recovery test build.

1) In most case I used default kernels provided with the ROM (somtimes flashed custom ones)
2) I am not good yet at looking at STP and BMW stats - so amybe I am missing something, but so far I did not find the battery killer. How do you find the battery killer? a process using more than 10%-20% CPU or smth like that?
3) I used to restore the apps using Titanium Backup, but then, to find out the problem, i just flashed a fresh ROM and did not install any apps at all..
and still losing at least 10% per hour with DATA off, Mobile Network OFF, GPS and WIFI off and Airplan Mode ON.

- Well right now I do not have any apps installed yet, excpet those that come default with 3.30. So its definetely not an application.
- !!! Myabe it is indeed unmatching RIL adn RADIO - coudl you please give me more info on that? How do I find out what is matching. I am in Japan and i bought my phone in HongKong (so it shoould be asia) and default ROM was doing just fine... Could you please point me to correct RIL and Radio - or advice where to look?
- From what i have seen in STP yesturday - second core is off. not sure about now - cause i do not have STP installed after flashing stok 3.30
- I am using ext4 recovery latest.

[Q] Battery Drain with CM 7.2.0 (fjfalcon's) of 19.03.2012

This ROM is really AWESOME!! Everything is running great for me. But the battery is draining twice as fast. Anyone had this problem???
Before, I had the khalpower ROM (froyo) and I used to get 2 days of battery. After the upgrade, I only get less than 24 hours with the same usage.
Battery usage gives: 36% for Cell Standby, 22% for Phone Idle and Display is 12%.
Any ideas?
Tks
Anybody??
PS: I configured everything to save battery but I only get 24h at max.
Use cm9 ) 10chars

How long is battery life in cm9 ? because I have only 1 day too with cm7.
Wow, CM9 save more battery than CM7? It's awesome. I'll try it tonight
Can choosing a wrong stock SBF to begin with cause the problem? Say you're in Singapore/India and first flash US cin-bell or Russian sbf. The baseband etc updated as per the country's settings. And consumes more battery. Does this theory stand at all?

You can change baseband with openrecovery-XT720 (It is not necessary a new SBF)
Have you changed provider? When I change my phone-sim from different provider I note different consumption.
There's another part of the baseband (bpsw) that can't be flashed in OR (at least not easily--I figured out why a few months ago, but haven't bothered fix it). Generally, the intent of the baseband updates in OR is to get the ROM portions to match the installed bpsw. But peshovec has convinced me that the baseband updates aren't really doing anything on XT720 because we have only one flavor of GSM on all stock devices (for comparison, A853 has a few different ones). So, I no longer think baseband matters.
Stupid things just seem to happen when you have low signal and an occasional low signal problem may have nothing to do with your phone. Reproducibility is the key here. I started using llama and now pay attention to which tower I'm connected to. For example, at my house in the same chair I can be connected to any of four towers and problems usually occur when I'm connected to a particular one (which happens very rarely). The format of that tower's identifyer code is quite different from the other three so I suspect it's a different model and/or generation.
Anyway, my experience on CM7 is that background processes churn like crazy (constant killed, restart cycles)--and that's what I think causes the problem. I haven't found how to address that though, and in my experience things like supercharger tend to make it worse. It's really weird because I remember a time when CM7 had better battery life than CM6... and I can't pinpoint what changed.
Has anyone compared with peshovec's? There are more of nadlabak's A853 256mb device tweaks in that one.
Try installing "BATTERY CALIBRATION" from the market and follow the instructions. It works for me. I'm using CM9.
To manage the constantly "auto"run apps , you can use gemini app manager , it could change the autorun status of an app . Now there is no more app that can autorun in background without my permission

ICS kernels with good battery life

on GB i had quikwiz and the cpu would go as low as 54 mhz so far on ics the kernels will only go down to 192.. is it because we need the source to do further tweaking?
we have the source. the ppl isn't actually capable of such low frequency, that's just for show . its basically 192 as the lowest, then deep sleep

Maybe you're just using it more because it's shiney now? I have that problem, I like shiney things.
Maybe the battery stats haven't had time to readjust to the ROM reflash. You can recalibrate them supposedly but I've read that it will eventually fix itself.
Otherwise, could be radio firmware (I am having good luck with the official rogers radio, UXLF3), or maybe some app using a lot of resources, or maybe it's not going into deep sleep (Install CPU Spy to check).
Assuming your sig is up to date and you're on SKY-ICS, try the latest 4.2F with official radio, might be a lot better. In general I found the battery life with Seanz's ROMs to be excellent.

haha I wouldnt doubt I use it more actually.
ya im constantly flashing so that could be it but i always wipe battery stats with a new rom
I have cpu spy and nothings running in the background it goes to deep sleep
and ya its not up to date lol im running the new official att release skyics so well see if battery is any better than the rogers version
