Sensation 4g Questions - General Questions and Answers

I bought a sensation 4g from a guy off of craigslist (phone was in great shape no issues at all)
The phone came installed with MIUI which I have no problems with except that I may have a battery bug im not sure.
I've been told that MIUI has some of the best battery life among androids ROMS but mine doesnt last more than 8 hours even with juice defender turning my Data off.
Has anyone else had issues with the battery running a version of MIUI
I'd also like to ask anyone who knows about the battery life with Sense UI, and if it isnt too bad maybe see if anyone has a place where I can download the rom to flash.
Thanks.

8 hours is pretty good, expecially since you just got it, your probably using it a lot. Battery life isn't good on android
Hit that thank button if I helped!

I guess so. I just think its odd that some people have reported near to a days use with MIUI and im getting maybe 6 - 8 hours with Data off, am I wrong in assuming that not having data on is the big problem?

If you have data off, then you probably are experiencing problems. Data drains a ton of juice. Install rom manager and start with a fresh install is what I would recommend. Wipe everything...

I've had the sensation 4g since june. I used the phone stock (sense ui) up until a few days ago. my battery life would range from 8-14 hours with moderate use. I recently rooted and it decreased my battery life but I am mostly plugged in at work all day so it's not a problem. I would try a few different roms just to see if you like something better anyway. - cheers

Gingerbread so far...

So from a GR-12 standpoint I must say gingerbread handles just about everything better. with the random odd bugs here and there... so far gingerbread is already showing some awesome stability and speed. much kudos out to the devs here! You guys do a great job and from what I've seen here so far... you put up with maybe one too many ignorant rude individuals. BUT! I would like to extend my thanks to all you devs and helpful members here... and for making my switch to android not only an informative one but a great experience all together.
So... anyway. loving gingerbread (GR-12 mainly). After loading up launcher pro almost every single bug or issue has vanished. seems the twlauncher has some deep seated issues lol.
Looking forward to the new releases!
I totally agree, Ive been running GR-12 for a couple of weeks now and its silky smooth. Oh and im also using launcher pro for the same reasons. lol
A different launchere makes all the difference doesn't it!? After I realized that every time I had a snag or crash it was "twlauncher"... I figured I'd try replacing it. and sure nuff... Awesomeness came spilling forth. Honestly haven't had a issue since. (well I flashed the kc1 modem which gives me the gps performance I need... ).
Outside of my own retarded moment bricking my phone while flashing it... Tearing through 3 old power supplies to get the right combo of resistors to build my own jig.... lol! But all is well that ends well.
What's everyone else's setup / experience with ginger on their cappy's?

Does GPS work on your Gingerbread ROMs? I know the Vibrant it doesn't and I am on ATT, so I am looking to trade for a captivate if it does.

significantly better than froyo (at least for me). There are some people with a battery drain issue but I'm thinking its an app thats not optimized for GB. I dont think its a ROM or KERNEL issue - but I'm not a dev so I can't back my statements up.
Both battery and gps are better on GB. Gps is wayyy better...

Are you able to give me like how many hours on average you are getting? I appreciate all the solid feedback.
Gingerbread has been horribly buggy. The battery life is just plain awful, it's laggier than 2.1, and it killed my dog.
Someone was bound to say something negative, so I just got that out of the way. Lol
Actually, GR-12 makes my Captivate run as smooth as my Inspire. I got about 12 hours heavy usage with the screen almost max.

that's a loaded question because it depends on MANY factors:
-signal strength in your area
-3g vs wifi connection
-general phone use (phone calls, sms, games, etc...)
For me, the phone lasts MUCH longer. I can go about 20-24 hours until I need to charge again. Thats with medium use and wifi connection 80% of the day. On standby, my phone usually drains 1% - 2% an hour.

Thank you for all the help. The response here is much more positive than the vibrant forums.
glad to help out. hope it works out for you.
EDIT: I should add, though, that when I'm not on wifi (using 3G), my battery doesnt last as long. So I prefer to be on wifi as much as I can.

That is good to know. I will keep that in mind.
So far on continuum its been rather smooth, using go launcher btw.
Battery life is bad though. Less than 8hrs with moderate to heavy usage. I need to fully recharge two to three times a day now.
On froyo I'd get 12-15 hours with similar usage.
Gps works fine, but then mine did on froyo before.

I'm experiencing battery drain, GR, Continuum and Mosaic, I leave wifi on and after 9 hours (fully charged, battery stats reset, standby mode [literally 0 use, I was asleep]), cell standby had used 33%, wifi 30%, .... I had 52% battery left.
GB is smoother, for sure, once kernel development ramps up for GB (JVB, JVH and JVO, ... JV#) i'd expect to see more tweaks include power and performance.
If you need battery life and don't want to risk flashing GB, wait.
battery life *IS* going to depends heavily on how much you use your phone. It's hard to compare battery life amongst people that cannot stand next to each other and compare phones because describing "heavy" use is different for everyone. My version of heavy is not the same as the next person.
the only real determinant of battery life that we can all use as a comparison is to see how much battery drain you have on standby or to run some sort of application that runs videos (ie. benchmark apps) because we can all do that. If your phone drains 2x as fast as mine on standby, then we have a problem with a rogue app or something else.
(clarification: I dont mean to use a benchmark app to see the results of the app itself. I just mean to run something on the phone to drain the battery quicker and view the battery life at the end of the test).
I've always experienced better battery life with Froyo, and I use my phone every single day for reading PDF's, listening to music, texting, calling and surfing the web. Maybe Gingerbread has better standby battery life, but when getting a "full" use out of my phone I've always lasted longer on Froyo builds.

Horrible battery life

Hey,
This is my first android phone and i love it but the battery sucks. Last night i unplugged at 9pm with minimal use maybe like 5 mins and it was at 58% at 2am. I ran stock gingerbread for a couple days and yesterday i put the virtous unity rom. No significant battery improvement. Shouod i get a different rom, flash a new radio or what? I havent flashed the radio.
It may be weak signal where you are. I can charge my phone Thursday night and not need to again until Sunday night at home on either ClearDroid or VU but at work, from 5:30 am, I need to charge it by 2:30 pm.
I have also noticed with VU, with WiFi on it doesn't really sleep and I get significantly worse battery life even with great WiFi signal.

I really really wish you would search these things, hundreds of threads about this topic (ok that's a lie but there are tons). I'll point you in the right direction on how to get everything you need to properly diagnose your battery issue as well as offer some additional tips and advice. I by no means, say that this should be the ends of your search but this should get you moving in the right direction. If you do take to a new ROM, my best battery life have been with Android Revolution, Virtuous Unity and BinDroid, I will shameless plug BinDroid because it's been the most stable rom I've used and amazing quality (not to say the others ROMs aren't, I just fancy this one). Good luck with battery issue! If this helped ya, you know where the Thanks button PM me if you need any additional information, I had some battery drain issues as well and I know how annoying it can be!

5 hours of battery life

hi all,
i know the battery life of the sensation isn't that great but I make 5 hours with about 1 hour of spotify (music streaming) some browsing and email checks. Also installed couple of apps but that's it.
(3g on when wifi not availible)
This just does not seem normal to me? Would like to hear your opinions.
running on:
stock battary
android revolution HD, feux kernel.
Wow, just 5 hours and your phone dies? That is AWFUL. Something is going on there, have you tried another rom?
maybe your rom is not very compatible with your radio? I am on InsertCoin (always latest) and I changed the energy mode from "maximum performance" to the middle option (don't know the name right now) and reactivated auto-sync and I can use the phone for 1.5 days on normal use. (so on gameplaying or benchmarking all the time) =)
Call HTC and have them to send you a new battery.You get one free replacement.just let them know that you're only 5 hours of life out of it.
Thanks for the replies all,
@KAwAtA,
i've only had stock and my current both ware equally ****ty.
@brandi,
I did flashed the radio that was mentioned with the android revolution ROM, do you have any suggestions?
@dunbar28205
Mabey your right, I'm starting to believe this isn't normal I did already purchase a mugen power 1950mah battery though. Will keep this updated with my findings on that one.
Is your governer on "performance"? Or is your second core somehow forced on?
battery works great for me im at 12 hours of run time and im around 50% left. check your rom and basic settings that kill battery. I also have an anker battery so that helps but really i think its the kernel and rom thats making all the difference

God, that's awful...and sounds oh-so familiar...
Try checking out my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351430
Maybe it helps... Sadly, one would think you get a functional device bought from the store, but all this technology is still a bit new and shiny, so it takes a lot of tinkering to get the most out of your device... It's what I've been doing with my phone for the last month, and it's a work in progress, but so far I've made some improvements
No solution works for everyone, as everyone uses their phone differently in a different environment... So all I can say is read my thread, keep reading XDA and the best of luck on your quest
P.S. That new battery will also help... I bought 2x Chichitec 1930mAh Evo 3D batteries and stuck them in my Sensation, although they are really just 1730mAh (false advertising, meh...or I just got a bad set of batteries?) I've seen a slight improvement over the stock battery
Damn man that sucks. I was having the same issue except I was average 10 hours with pandora usage, and moderate emails/txt/mms etc ....
I flashed the latest ARHD 3.6.7 XE. I followed the proper batter calebration thread on this forum (don't have the link) and after a full charge the next day, I average roughly 19 to 23 hours on a full charge. I'm still at a very moderate usage with pandora/streaming/mms/txt/blah blah blah you know the deal. I am extremely impressed. I'm on stock battery btw. I'm probably going to hook up that aweseom 1900mha battery from anker. I should be pulling over 24 hours no problem after that.
What I do also is when I initially set up ARHD I turn off fastboot in the power menu, I turn off "quiet ring on pick up", "pocket mode", and "flip for speaker" in the sound menu, and I ESPECIALLY turn off the automatic boot up of the task manager as task managers are useless from android 2.2+ and can cause conflicts that drain more battery. You can turn off boot up of task manager in the applications menu. That's pretty much it I don't know what else to say other than I'm doing awesome on stock battery atm.
Try a different kernel. I'm using bricked 1.5. First charge got me 14 hours so far at 31 percent. After the first charge run it to 5 percent and charge full. Rinse and repeat a total of three times and also don't forget to go into recovery and wipe battery stats.

5 hours is really awful. Got 2 days with moderate use with the energy ROM. I would try to calibrate and maybe buy a anker 1900 mAh
What version of ARHD are you running on? 3.6.5 and 4.1.6 had battery issues..
Buy another battery, or ask for replacement. I had 5-8 hour battery life with my original stock battery on stock ROM, bought Anker battery on amazon, I get 40-50 hours now.

Thanks a ton! I checked it out but isn't it correct that when you flash a rom the battery is auto calibrated? Battery monitor widget Pro says my voltage is:
min 3386 max 4209. Does that give reason to calibrate the battery?
thanks again everyone for all the help
I used to suffer from this issue too. After doing some research I found out that the kernel is the problem.
Try Bricker 1.5 as Galaxa12 suggested and you should notice a massive improvement in terms of battery life.
Also do some digging in Daemon Controller (tip as others suggested: Governor).
Ofc battery calibration is important, but you won't archive better battery lifetime after calibration.

[Q] Best ROM for battery life?

I get horrible battery life with nearly every ROM Ive used on my Sensation, sometimes drains 10 percent an hour with the screen OFF. I have all data off, no wifi on, no apps running, juicedefender ultimate, and underclock when screen is off, and I read about people who can get a full day while using the total potential of the device. I had the same problem on my old device, so I returned it to T-Mobile and still have problems on the device I got in return. I dont expect to get two days on battery, I just find it crazy that I can barely use my device without the battery draining rapidly. I've considered undervolting but every rom ive downloaded didnt support it, so I was curious if you guys know of any efficient ROMs that save a ton of power and can be undervolted. I'm not very experienced with this kind of stuff and every ROM ive used has been poor on battery life, so help would be appreciated.
I am using InsertCoin ROM and it is running fine.
I used to have a 3% battery drop per every hour the phone was sleeping on stock rom and ARHD ics. Then I tried Virtuous Inquisition and it fixed the issue. Be sure to install the rom with its appropriate radio.

ICS isn't fully stable yet, but seriously.. give that a try. My battery has doubled its lifespan. I have NO idea what htc/google did, but I get about 12 hours moderate usage and still around 50%. Getting 12 hours back then was what I was hoping I could hit! Now it lasts beyond my expectations
I've also read that you tried undervolting and everything. I just stayed stock and it's great, no effort! no custom kernel, OC/UC , it's amazing. If you read through the threads, I'm not the only one experiencing awesome battery
If you must know, I'm using InsertCoin but I think ARHD and all the other ICS roms will pretty much solve your problem

[Q] Nexus 5 Sudden Battery Throttle

So, I don't know if my problem here in particular is unique or new, but this issue started about a week ago.
My Nexus 5, is rooted, and running Cyanogenmod 11, (was) running with ART Runtime, and I was getting pretty decent battery life with the phone. Usually nothing less than 2-3 hours of screen on time, with pretty typical settings (location off, sync off, etc).
Out of nowhere, about last week my battery life began to be much worse. It'll drain from full to 20% in a matter of 5 or 6 hours, and none of my usage really changed at all. I'm well aware of the mm-qcamera-daemon, but according to my battery usage page, it still isn't really in use or bothering my battery life.
What could cause this sudden change? I'm here at work plugging my phone in half way through the day, when normally I can go about 2 days without charging.
I've tried factory resetting, I've turned off ART, I've tried changing the governor on the CPU, and many other things. Is my battery simply going bad?
If anything has a solution for me, it'd be a blessing.
Thanks.

If i was on your place I'd return it back to stock and see how my phone would react. Afterwards if issue has to do anything with hardware I'd unroot + relock bootloader and give it to my provider for a warranty and explain them my problems.

Hmm..
That's not a bad idea. I think I'll flash stock back on to it when I get home tonight. You know, I have insurance on the phone, but I was expecting to have to exchange it for breaking the phone's screen, not for my battery going bad. I hope Stock ROM fixes the problem, or hell.. maybe whenever 4.4.3 ROMs start coming out, that might do the trick to. I've been careful to take care of this phone, since I broke my Nexus 4 two months after I got it.

You're welcome. I hope that you solve your problem as soon as possible. If you take a look how your phone does with stock on your diagnose of a problem would be much easier and from than on if the problem was in software you can try some other roms and kernels. I personally am not really a fan of cyanogenmod 11 at least not for nexus 5 since I've had few bugs using for a few days.

Well, I really liked Paranoid Android for my Nexus 4, and I've had no issues until recently with CM11. :\
I guess stock is going to be my best bet though. I just really hope I can deal with the battery drain issue from mm-qcamera-daemon or whatever.

I've been using SlimKat in combination with Faux's custom kernel for a few days now and I must say that peformance is as smooth as it was never before, speed is absolutely phenomenal and my battery life is more than pleasing (around 24H + 3-4 Hrs of screen on time).

Well, that sounds like exactly I want. I'm not opposed to trying another custom ROM either. Can you PM me a link to the thread with whatever particular build you're using?
If it's efficient and up to 4 hours of on screen time, sounds like exactly what I need.
I'm more than happy to ditch my ROM if I can get better performance, haha.

ROM: http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/d...4-slim-hammerhead-4-4-2-build-4-official-3700
KERNEL: http://faux.romhost.me/hammerhead/kk44/
I'm using non-ultimate version of the kernel which means that it doesn't support overclocking and I'm also using a bit older build which is very stable and works flawlessly for me.
Ah, great. I'm actually going to download it now, while I'm here at work. Also, does this particular ROM work at all with ART Runtime, because if possible, I'd like to continue using it.

It does support ART. I didn't try it on this ROM though so I cannot tell exactly whether it's working or not. You'll have to test it by yourself but I am pretty sure that if your phone doesn't have any hardware issues that you won't be disappointed with the performance of ROM + Kernel with or without ART! Hit thanks if I helped you anyhow :laugh:
PS: Though since the ART is still in beta phase of development there is a possibility that it has caused you so much trouble with battery =)

My Nexus 5, is rooted, and running Cyanogenmod 11, (was) running with ART Runtime, and I was getting pretty decent battery life with the phone. Usually nothing less than 2-3 hours of screen on time, with pretty typical settings (location off, sync off, etc).
Out of nowhere, about last week my battery life began to be much worse. It'll drain from full to 20% in a matter of 5 or 6 hours, and none of my usage really changed at all. I'm well aware of the mm-qcamera-daemon, but according to my battery usage page, it still isn't really in use or bothering my battery life.
What could cause this sudden change? I'm here at work plugging my phone in half way through the day, when normally I can go about 2 days without charging.
I've tried factory resetting, I've turned off ART, I've tried changing the governor on the CPU, and many other things. Is my battery simply going bad?
If anything has a solution for me, it'd be a blessing.
Thanks.

Batteries Can't throttle. However the do degrade with use. You can replace the battery with ease.
