Battery life!

How can i increase the battery life!? My battery drains really fast with light web use and listening to music, is there an app that can save me some battery usage or one that calibrate the battery?

You could install a custom rom, which makes your Sensation faster, and makes the battery much better!
There is plenty to choose from.

I've got battery drain issues running CM 7 Alpha 7. How can I see what app is eating my battery? Both Settings>About Phone>Battery info and Spare parts under the Partial Wake selection show android system.
Is there any other way to see battery usage by specific app? Am I looking in the right area in Spare Parts?

You could download one of those task manager's or auto kill memory. But I don't got any experience about that.
And when you flashed, did you do full wipe and all that it said in the instructions ?

My battery life is pretty awesome...using anker batt...CM7 alpha 7 and faux kernel

I am planning to buy this phone what is the average battery back up of this phone if we use internet or try to listen music

I did im running Android Revolution HD 3.6.1 with stock kernel and for some reason the battery still drains!

It may not be the answer you are expecting, but the most effective route to better battery life is to buy a bigger battery. I bought the Anker battery and never looked back - it is massively better than the stock battery.

Look at the specs and power of this phone... Its more powerful than the avg pc 5 years ago. Arhd has givin me 20 hr cycles and i think that is amazing compared to a stock rom

TL,Dr: use search.
Install Bricked kernel. Set max clock to <1GHz, min to 192 GHz and under volt 50mA... Will add ~50% right there. Get a non stick ROM for another ~25%.

[Q] how is my battery usage?

hey guys, first post here, got my g/f skyrocket as a christmas gift. been iphone owners for past couple of years. love the phone and and system but as usual battery drain is an issue. i installed nexusmod and stockish kernel and the batt improved but still it wasnt near where other guys were reporting. so i flashed with skyrocket kernel and also i flashed it with a script that limited the cpus to around 1gh.
i would post screen shots but im not allowed since its my first post.
well after a full day, i got
- 10h of total use
- 2hr of display time on
- 30m calls
wifi off
screen brightness - 10-30%
gps off
sync off
4 emails acc checking every 30mins
so how does this sound with the rom, kernel and script setup? no wakelocks or anything.
i thought i would get much better results with cpus underclocked.
thats in advance

I find it's really the display that destroys battery life. I hardly used my phone for one day and got 20hous and still had a few hours left but then today I unplugged at 7 am and by 8 pm I was down at 25% because I used it for about 2 hours on the train.

Hmmm i been woundering the same thing, i have SKY ICE CREAM SANDWICH With the faux kernel and im at 5:40 min on battery and im at 35% I dont use the phone that much only to text and bearly go to the internet, so its there a special secret that we dont know about ? lol

I'm running faux kernel with UV script on rooted stock rom 2.3.5 and I've been averaging around 24hrs with daily use. The first day of kernel I ran it to 2d 17hrs but I didn't use it much lol

It may be something you may have done.
Did you by chance flash some tweaks on top of zeus?

is this 5 days battery life like even with data and wifi on and if so is it with the ics theme added or no and if yes what are you guys doing and what battery are you using to achiueve this insane battery

In my experience the only way to get that kind of battery life is to basically not use it much. Which defeats the purpose of carrying it around. I use the internet quite heavily, text occasionally, gps, bluetooth and wifi typically stay off and with that usage I might be able to squeeze out a day and a half. Just my experience.

I as well am having problems with my battery draining quickly

This was my dd for a while and I think its the best on battery out of all roms I tried

I agree Zeus has excellent battery life, 2-3 days all the time. I will say that I had to reflash Zeus once because I couldn't seem to get more than 6 hours out of the battery, I just chalked it up to a bad flash.

I'm having bad battery life too...I get good battery on the first day after a reboot or something but after that its back to 10 hours

[Q] The usual "is this normal" questions [sorry]

1. I am new to sensation.
2. Device gets hot when used for a while. Normal?
3. Battery life - none! Worst from any of the devices I used (and I had them all)
4. Running Quatrro ICS ROM from Virtouos.

I have an extended 1900mAh battery and it still gets hot at times.
I see your screen takes up a lot and so does mine, but I get WAY longer than 4 hours even on regular battery. Maybe try changing ROM's to see if it makes a difference. Or check out this battery.
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1900mAh...ZJMC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333056174&sr=8-1

Try installing a different rom & kernel. Then try setcpu or something similar that let's you control CPU clock speeds. Set up custom profiles for the CPU. Whenever mines starts to get hot it underclocks to a slower speed bringing the temp back down.

i have the best battery life with insert coin sense 4 beta + bricked kernel 0.5

[Knowledge Sharing] Share your cell Temperature and Current (mA)

Hi Guys,
This thread is to share your cell idle temperature and current (mA) with the help of Battery Widget 3c.
I believe that lowest possible temperature and lowest current drain help to increase battery life.
I can remember when I had Htc Desire, I was able to to achieve 27 C with 4 to 5 mA current drain with @snq kernel.
So please share your cell information so we can know that what setup is best for longer battery.
Mine is as below :
Rom : Reaper-V3.0.0
Kernel : Reaper-V1.3
Radio : 3822.09.08.20_M
Idle Temperature : 30 to 32 centigrade
Idle Current : 9 to 12 mA

Please, could you post a link to the battery widget you mention. Using Current Widget I get far higher readings - idle current is 22mA. I'm on Endymion rom with 50mA undervolt. 3G and data are on.

Battery Widget link updated in OP.

Thanks, with this app the idle current usage is 12mA for my device too.
A small update after a day of collecting information - the lowest standby current was 8mA but most of the time it stays at 11mA.

Question: what should be classed as"too hot"
I'm running BlindIce with cm9 kernel and on demand governor and I get this most of the time, fair enough I'm using a live wallpaper but this can't be ok can it ?

It's taking too much current, it should be between 8 to 12 mA.

Probably my own fault for the wallpaper and screen widgets. But even so I realised it was a lot which is I posted here, never had this issue with reaper
Things seem to have called down a little since I removed snakes battery thing that came on BlindIce though
