So I get home from work this morning, pull my Inspire out of my pocket, and it's dead; no lock screen when I push the top button, nothing but black screen. Kinda strange, since I had just been using the phone a few minutes before while I ate breakfast before a 5 min drive home; it still had 22% charge right before I left. I put it on the charger.... nothing. Black screen, no amber light. I let it sit for about 15 minutes, still nothing. I drop it back in my pocket and put my shoes back on, about to head back out to the AT&T Store to exchange it, when I hear R2D2 in my pocket (I'm running LeeDoids ROM). Sure enough, it's booting.... wtf?
It's plugged up and charging right now, which kinda sucks in a way, because I was looking forward to exchanging it for a new one; my battery life sucks in it, worse than it should as far as I can tell with reading up on all the threads here. I'm trying to be very conservative with the settings lately in an effort to stretch battery life, with limited results. I've turned off auto-sync, installed Juice Defender, I turn off the wifi & bluetooth while I'm at work, running the display at 40%, but I'm still running the battery down damn quick if I actually use the device. Earlier this week, it ran itself down to <15% battery in just a few hours just sitting in my pocket, and I wasn't even using it; the only thing I could figure was that the auto-sync was on at the time and it had connection problems where I was in the hospital, making the phone burn up the battery trying to get a connection. When I looked at my battery info, the overwhelming majority of the battery use was for Android System. Now with auto-sync off, the display eats about twice as much of the battery as the system does.
I'm thinking of taking it back anyway if it acts up again. Has anyone else had one that just simply ate battery at a huge rate? LeeDroids ROM has a reputation of being pretty easy on the battery, but right now I'd have to say I'm worse on the battery than I was when it was stock. I'll probably try out a different ROM later today, just to check things.

Fully charge the battery to 100% then wipe battery stats in CMR. Hopefully that will help you out.

Does wiping stats improve battery life, or just give you accurate future stats?

Improves battery life and makes it more accurate. I would try downloading the Rom and make sure you flash everything. Also make sure your not over clocked.

I'm gonna reflash the ROM and see how it works before I try another one. I'll make sure I'm not overclocked too much, but others with LeeDroids ROM are getting good battery life with overclocking. The two big symptoms I'm looking at right now are heavier than expected battery drain, and the total lock up it had where it wouldn't even show a charging light.

Hey Smitty, I know it's been over a week but have you had better luck with your battery usage?
Also with regards to your unresponsive power issue. Given the size of this handset I've found it difficult to keep it in a pocket. I'd bet that the battery door wasn't connected good or got separated slightly in your pocket, probably getting in & out of your car. It doesn't look like it would take much to separate the contacts in there leaving you with what seemed like a dead phone.
I did a complete wipe and ROM switch... installed dilligafs, and I had much better performance. Using MIUI now, still getting good battery performance. I might have had a bad ROM install before or maybe I left a location using app running. As far as the strange black screen issue, I never did figure out what that was about; the phone was in a Otterbox case, and the battery cover was on tight, so I don't know what happened. It hasn't repeated itself, at least.
One thing I miss about the iPhone was the ability to set up a periodic sync, instead of an auto-sync like we have on Android. Auto-sync is either on or off, and when it's off I can't figure out how to get gmail to sync any way other than a manual sync. I could easily live with syncing every 15 or even 30 mins, and I'm sure it would give me much better battery life. Juice Defender claims to do this for you, but it doesn't work in Gingerbread it seems.
Got my Sensation yesterday and after the 1st full charge I'm barely getting 6-7 hours with 2:30 screen on time which is far worse than I was getting with my DHD so I thought I'd see if I could work out what's causing it and it looks like HTC Watch may be the culprit. (see grabs below)
I used it for about 5 minutes this-morning and looks like it's been running ever since. I've now forced stopped it and removed the watch account to see if I get any improvement. Might be worth others checking if they are too getting poor battery life.
What's the name of the app?

I always have them on as I'm connected to WiFi at home and Bluetooth uses virtually no extra power in measurements I've done with the DHD. Perhaps it's more with the Sensation.
I am running with temp root so can freeze watch but for now it doesn't seem to have started again since I force stopped it in app management.
It's too early to tell if I've got improved battery life now but will see how it goes in the next cycle.
Well things have improved massively after keeping Watch closed.
Today I got 12 hours life with 3 hours screen time and that was mostly in bright sunshine so full screen brightness and mostly mobile data instead of Wi-Fi.
The stats show that virtually nothing was keeping the phone awake this time and I was averaging about 2% drop/hour with screen off.
This life is now very similar to my DHD running a custom rom so I'm very happy and no doubt once we get proper root on the Sensation we'll star to see even better results
I have a similar issue where MAPS has been running in the background. How can I stop that? I do not have any autosync so the only draining of battery is from MAPS and T-Mobile 4G Network since I had Data Network on all night.
also i have this problem with MAPS and i close from settings but after that is starting again...how can i close this to stop running in background? another thread that i readed at htc evo forum sound like this ( press HOME, and bring up the dialer. Dial *#*#4636#*#* (Do not press "Call"). After a second, it should bring up the "Testing" menu.
Go into Phone Information, press MENU, and tap "select radio band." You should experience a Force Close, don't panic, this was supposed to happen. Scrolling down shows that the preferred network type is GSM auto (prl).
What this means is that even though you are connected to a CDMA network, your phone is trying to find a GSM network, preventing the radio from sleeping, and causing excessive battery drain.
Remedy this by tapping GSM auto (prl), and changing it to CDMA auto (prl).
Now your done, your TWS should drop dramatically, and you should experience much better battery life!
i try this and in my menu is selected WCDMA and when i select CDMA auto (prl) the signal drop and and going back to WCDMA..maybe this procedure has alot of in consumption the battery....
This rom used to be fine, now it is draining extrememly fast and I don't know why.
I am on Gingerbread KF2 and really haven't done anything else yet. I used to be able to make it through an average day of ~15 or so hours using the phone only for some messages, a call or two, and a few minutes of music. After this type of usage, the battery would be around 70-80% at the lowest usually. This is even with the screen at FULL brightness all day.
About a week ago, it started draining super fast. The same usage runs the phone down to about 20-30%, which is ridiculous. In battery stats, Android OS is always FAR above everything else with like 60%. A couple battery calibrations did nothing. I don't use task killers, but I do check my running apps. OS monitor didn't help me at all, and checking my currently running apps just showed mostly system apps that should not be draining hardly any battery at all.
Any suggestions? I think that about covers it all. This just has me stumped...
go through your apps and see how often they check for updates. there were a lot of updates recently and some settings may have changed. If nothing changed, can you do a quick scan with look out? Just to be safe. Also, try juice defender and set it to aggressive

Lookout didn't pick up anything and I set JuiceDefender to aggressive. Will JuiceDefender warn me of an app using excessive battery?
Nope, that battery is still dropping like crazy. (8% in half an hour from almost no use.)
Maybe I just need to reflash and start over fresh...
It will take a day out two to settle in. is your phone sleeping properly when the screen in off? Press the volume keys once it locks and if it makes the sound then it if still on.

So either juice defender is helping or ADW launcher was using excesive battery. It is working better today after I switched back to launcher pro, but still going down pretty fast.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
ADW doesn't really drain much battery for me. It actually uses less RAM compared to LauncherPro and Go Launcher (for me).
I think you should just try reflashing your ROM, maybe flashing the new GB ROMs too.
Also, are you sure you're doing the battery calibrations properly? That might also be an issue.
Maybe it's not your phone or ROM...
I've had several ROMs in the last few weeks and have noticed this behavior on many of them....after searching, I found this.
T-Mobile has apparently noticed some abnormal battery issues in areas with their "4G" HSPA+. They're asking people in their support forum for a bit of info to help them find the issue.
support[dot]t-mobile[dot]com /thread/3544
The problem was initially believed to be affecting the G2 only, but is now believed to be affecting all phones in their "4G" footprint that started when they updated their towers in late July. The update provides the government an emergency channel to use, but it appears that it may be causing network issues.
Thanks for bringing it up, this is affecting me too. i lose 20-40% battery PER HOUR of use on the phone at 25% screen brightness playing a card game online (no wifi, just on HSPA+). This is on a BRAND NEW flash of KH2 (GB 2.3.4).
The top half of the phone gets really hot and battery drains like crazy. ceasing data use cools it down and reverts to normal battery use.
Hi all,
Just want to share a battery saver app which works really well on my charge. I used to have 10-12 hrs normal usage, now I have 20hrs with left over at the end of the day. The only feature that you have to look out for is "enable cpu saving", it may work for you, but for me this put my phone in so deep sleep that it never wake up. But of course just pull battery, reboot then disabled the feature. it made by a big Chinese internet security company and "melvinchng" is nice enough to translate it to English for us. All credits go to him. Hope you all like it. Cheers!

I may be missing something, but it looks like all it is doing is blocking mobile data periodically, right? mobile data is the biggest drainer on battery performance (in my experience). however, I don't want to have it off, even for a minute - as if I misplace my phone, I'll need mobile data to be on in order to find my phone via the Lookout app...

It doesn't unless you instruct it to do so. If you toggle wifi/4g on only when needed then you should save even more. Did you see Vulkano? that video streaming over 4g. If I have wifi/4g on all the time, with my normal usage, I can have the phone unplugged at 8am to 10pm and still have about 30% left. Of course my normal usage maybe different from yours. If I have your phone in standby (screen off), I got 10hrs and the phone is at 91%.(about 1% per hrs). I suggest to find out if this app really help or not, just try it out, you have nothing to loose.

thanks, I will.
I know that in standby mode with wifi on and 4G off, my battery drains about 1% per hour. with 4G on (no wifi connection), ~5% per hour.
once factoring in some moderate usage, that drops down quite significantly.
OK, as promissed, here are pictures after 11hrs. Noticed my screen time is more than 50%.
Looks good. But will need to see a comparison to without the app.
But I did download and install it. Will see how we do tomorrow.

Actually, you didn't include your screen on time at all. Your screen's percentage of battery use was over 50%, though. Including your actual screen on time would help when comparing battery usage.
well, this app was a major fail for me. after 4 hours, down to 61%. it blocks what I need (google syncs such as mail, calendar, photos, drive, music, etc). so if someone sends me an appointment, I will not receive it.
I don't have any problem with Juice defender. But I guess it isn't for everyone. I just use it so I don't have to worry about manually switching back and forth between 4g and wifi as I go around throughout the day.
I turned off 4g recently to try to improve my horrible battery life (just got 4g in my area too ). It wasn't a huge difference but what really changed it for me was to stop overclocking. I really don't see much lag anyways and it didn't help with the apps I wanted so fixes fine for me.

regarding Wifi, I have found that editing the build.prop file to adjust the wifi interval scan helps dramatically. I changed my 1800 (once every 30 minutes). now I leave wifi and 4G on all the time with no significant battery drainage.
but I have found that these so-called battery saving apps just simply cut off mobile data or "auto-sync".
This app was a huge fail for me. Back to the antutu battery saver i go.

antutu was a fail for me too. so was "easy battery saver"
trying out juice defender again. I think I'm okay with mobile data turning on/off periodically. JD seems to do this nicely. I also like how JD turns on mobile data when the screen is unlocked.
however, I'm thinking that this could be done via a build.prop edit of some kind. essentially, what I would like to do is:
if WiFi is disconnected and screen is off/locked, turn on mobile data for 1 minute every 30 minutes, if WiFi is connected, turn off mobile data and keep wifi connection.
Since installing Handcent I have noticed a decrease in battery life. While it is not AWFUL, it obviously shouldn't be happening and I would like to get to the bottom of this. Today I basically left my phone on my desk all day with very little usage. 41% of my battery drain is coming from handcent and my phone has been awake all day. I received a few text messages, but I quickly responded or dismissed the notification.
I have included screenshots of my overall battery usage, specific history details and app info relative to handcent.
Has anyone noticed any issues like this?
Rooted Stock 4.0.4
try disabling the pop up and set it so it does not blink led . I think that is what I did to get it to stop draining. do you have it set as default messaging,and if so did you unchecked notifications in the stock messaging app?
Freeze the stock sms app. Should help considerably.

i've never had this problem and have been using Hancent since i got my S3 and was using it on my DX with CM7 before that. On my DX every once and awhile I had an issue with the phone never sleeping and a reboot with fix it but never saw handcent even coming near 41% percent usage even while texting back and forth. What settings do you have? Looking at my apps list, I guess I disabled Stock SMS if that's what its called, can't find it. I do know that I set Handcent as my default text app. I also have the pop up enabled.
I just looked at my battery usage screen and Handcent doesn't even show, even after opening it to look at different messages, weird.
Maybe the problem isn't totally handcent.... I froze handcent last night and defrosted the stock messaging app. Full charge overnight. This mornign I am 4 hours since unplugged and my phone has been awake the entire time. This still doesn't explain the 41% handcent usage before I froze it though. (Stock SMS is about 9% usage today)
Yeah, I think there is an awake lock issue. I installed handsent last night and am not experiencing any major battery issues. You might want to consider a full wipe/revert back to stock and start over. Not sure though, as I have never had this issue.

The reason your phone has been awake all day is because you have wifi turned on. If wifi is on, your phone does not sleep. Also, you say you left your phone sitting all day but you texted briefly. If you use the phone briefly but only texted of course 41% will be taken by Handcent. It's a percentage of what you actively did in the past 10hours and 54 minutes, which you stated is very little of anything else, so it looks more like a battery drain than it is. If you didn't have wifi on and that was the percentage coupled with your phone being awake, then we could properly assess this. Until you re-post with wifi turned off and the same percentages remain, you are misinterpreting the screenshot of the battery profile.
That was an anecdotal story regarding the usage of the phone on a particular day. I have noticed this high percentage for over a week before posting.
I have already frozen handcent last night, but even with wifi off (followed by a battery pull) I am still in a wake lock.

Here is the breakdown of today's usage. Nothing jumps out at me (although the samsung maps process looks new to me). I'm down almost 50% in 4.5 hours on very light usage. It might not look terrible, but i had been getting PHENOMENAL battery life on this phone from getting it in July until about a week ago. I have a pretty busy day today, but I'm probably going to just put a new ROM on it Thursday...
I've read that better battery stats App is a good way to isolate wake locks, but its 3$ and if installing a new ROM/Kernel pretty soon will most likely fix the issue I don't think its worth it at the moment.
Betterbatterystats is great for checking what is causing wake locks and there is a free version for XDA members under the general Android apps forum.

Mainly look through the thread, it's long so just at last make sure you read the OP and a couple of the last pages.
I personally will charge my phone up during the day or evening to full and unplug it before I go to bed. Then in the morning check partial wake locks, processes and alarms. Alarms is my personnel favorite, showed me that latitude had turned itself on and was killing my battery!
You will need to charge up during the day I'm sure, but you should be able to cut down some problems for the long run.
