After updating I can not turn the mobile internet on and when I am trying to connect it to my PC as HTC sync it is taking about 2 mins until it is connected. Has anyone the issues?

no
restart your phone ?
Tried many times. Nothing helps. Thinking about downgrading to froyo. Is it possible?

My issue is with battery life and charging time. My phone now runs out of battery in about five hours which includes two quick calls and checking Twitter once an hour. If I don't touch it at all it will run dry in about eight hours. And now it takes four hours to get a full charge

You must have something doing syncs, like HTC Sense, to drain battery. Battery life is better with GB over Froyo. Go to Apps manager and see what is running. My battery life definitely improved with the update.

I had the same problem connecting to my data. Go into mobile network settings, then access point names, hit menu and hit reset to defaults. As far as the PC connection and battery life I have had no problems with. Maybe try a good memory management app and change your sync settings refresh settings to not update as often or to manual. I get about 12 hours of battery with heavy/constant use

I would go with one of the roms that are built from the stock rom such as cleardroid. they look and act like the stock but have less bloatware and crap to them. they have a GB option and many of them have developed them to help out with battery life.
After scouring multiple sources today, I found the source of the battery drain some of us are seeing after the update. It is caused by the dialer app remaining on after making or receiving calls. If you check your battery stats, you'll see dialer is responsible for way more than normal battery drain even if you only made a single call early in the day. The unofficial fix for this (until HTC or Google issue a proper fix) is to go into menu/settings/sound. Under incoming calls, uncheck all 3 boxes then reboot the phone. Some claim any one of the three helped them, but others like me had to uncheck all 3. After making these changes earlier today, I am finally seeing the improved battery life promised with GB.
Hope this helps someone else too.

Thanks for the info. Currently testing.
So, has anyone else experimented with these settings? Seen the Dialer battery hog phenomenon?

Hey guys,
probably you have noticed that the Sensation won't let you use the LED flash to take pictures when the battery is low (around 25%).
I find this very annoying, since 25% is not less enough for me to have my LED flash blocked.
Especially since I have to use the LED for pictures at night, where my battery is usually low, this function is absolutely stupid.
Is there a way to turn this off, so that I can use the LED to take pictures no matter how much battery charge I have?
PS:
Still looking for a way to turn off textreflow permanently:

The easiest way is to just download one of the thousands of flashlights in the market. The no LED light isnt a system wide thing it is only in the Flashlight app and Camera app. Download a new flashlight from the market and your good to go whatever your battery is.
I am wondering if there is a correction for this as well, not so much for the flashlight, but for the camera.
Could there be someting in the camera.apk or the prop build?
Actually the flashlight is not important to me, but the flash at the camera app.
Maybe I should have chosen another subject for the thread.
I want to know how to take pictures with the flash, even when the battery has low charge.
Settings/power/enable power saver....uncheck it.it works for me.

Hm. I have unchecked 'power saver' and when I have <30% battery, I can't use flash in apps and in camera.
So strange.
Very strange.
Am now on 6% and still able to use flash.
I know that 10 % should be the lowest point,i think.i didnt do anything it just works

It appears to be pretty random when your battery foces your LED to stop.
Once I had 37% battery and it told me that my battery is to low to use the LED light.
However it's really annoying. Non of the suggested settings here work.
I think this issue can't be solved without a mod of the camera app.
Any one having better luck with the flash on stock roms BEFORE the ota update? Just wondering if this is something else that the update broke...

What?
I am not a programmer, but I guess it would be possible to modify the camera apk in a way that it doesn't block your LED flash anymore.

What i was saying is i wonder if people are having more issues with the camera flash/low battery issue before or after the update, indicating that the update has fixed the issue or left it the same.
Has someone come out with a solution or a Mod for this problem... I have 29% and it won't let me use flash...:-/

I never had a chance to use it before the update, so I don't know, but it definitely has the 30% limit after the update.
So I'm assuming none of you use custom kernels. Faux kernel can flash till batt is at 10%. Not sure about bricked but I know its also modified

Go into settings and turn off battery saver and once that done you can run any app on your phone at all battery levels

This doesn't work for some users.
I am having the same issue. Hits about 25% and the flash in any Camera app doesn't work. I can still use the flash with a flashlight app. Doesn't matter if power saver is off or on.
Hi so as the title reads this is the problem and i have no solution, would a facotry reset help? it renders my phone next to impossible to use and also i tried pulling the battery and it took it from 50% to 5% when i turned it back on a minute later? Community help plz, thanks in Advance

Yeah, you've got something going rogue on you. May be an app, or corrupted app data, or something harder to track down. If it's something you don't mind dealing with, a factory reset may be in order. Otherwise, you would try and see if it's being cause by wakelocks. Using Battery Battery Stats can point you to PWLs or KWLs, but if that yields nothing, the factory reset may be your solution. Sorry, it's hard to give a definitive answer on this.
What version are you on, OTA ICS, Leak 1 or 2, or GB? ROM, if any? When did this start happening, and can it be isolated to any indicator(s), such as opening a certain app, using WiFi, bluetooth, etc?

I can't say for sure that it's a battery issue, seems unrelated to this stage occurrence. I'd have to say it was software related, but if the swapped battery has cleared up the problem, and it decides to reappear, you can try what I suggested above to track down wakelocks. You may still have to resort to factory resetting, but you'll have to be the one to make that determination...

Hi guys,
For a while now I've been trying to find out why Gallery (3D) is using so much of my battery. I've disabled all syncing related to media, and it hasn't stopped.
Also, Android OS is draining the battery too. On typical days I have 25% from screen 25% gallery and 25% from the OS.
I'm on stock verizon jellybean, rooted and unlocked. I have the stock kernel and am not overclocked.
Is this a bug?

Hey all
I had a wake lock trigger that was draining my battery so I decided to try and find what was causing it. I turned off all background sync and disabled GPS. I charged my phone to full and then let it drain over night. As you can see in screen shots... Massive drain occurred with no visual signs of the cause. Anyone have an idea?

Did you get any shots of the Kernel Wakelocks and Partial Wakelocks screens in bbs? That's where you would see the culprit(s). Also, do you ever do soft reboots? Some people (including myself) have experienced increased battery drain with no visible wakelocks after soft rebooting. Doing a full reboot seems to fix it.

It's definitely something using Wi-Fi. Need more in depth analysis

I checked those but there was nothing abnormal. I'd done a reboot when I flashed the kernel back to stock pa.

I've disabled wifi and it drained to dead. Going to recharge to full and see what it does off wi-fi. What could I do to see why/if wi-fi is killing it?
You can see it is draining it in your screen shots. Maybe you didn't fully disable the background Wi-Fi usage. "scanning always enabled" for example

Doesn't look like its disabled correctly. Your screenshot shows nearly 8 hours Wi-Fi.
Maybe there is a bug in your settings data.
Not sure if you're rooted or not but maybe a backup / wipe is the best course of action

Here's the current setting. I guess I can factory reset again. I'll try that after this current charge cycle.

You could try booting the phone into safe mode to see if it's a 3rd party app, though unnecessary if you plan on trying a full reset anyways.

while at first it looks high, in reality it isnt(yet). in your screenshot you have only lost 5% battery so far with light use. at this point you really cant tell what your battery will be like with use.

ahh, thats a little better, but itll drop a little more with use. while 20 is a little high, id still classify as normal. really anything up to 20% is normal. typically, after a full cycle, i see android os between 9-15%. but it would all depend on exactly how you use your phone.

As said above....use the phone normally and check when its almost drained. It will surely be much lower.
If location is on...it will probably be higher than 10% I'd guess. If so....completely normal.
