Love this phone. Hate the battery!

I think I've had it. My first sense experience was on an HD2. Not all that great. Coming from a nexus s, then iPhone 4, I love this phone. I love everything about it. After using sense I don't think ill ever use Android again without it. It just feels as if something is missing. With that said this is what made me decide not to get an Atrix. However after the past few days using the inspire, countless task managers tweaking settings, turning off background data, the longest battery lift I got was 11 hours and I barley used the thing! Please someone point me in the actual directon of an extended battery that actually works or I think I might have to sell this thing.

Stop using a task manager, they just make battery life worse. Turn off auto-brightness and set it to around 35-40%. Go into settings>Accounts and Sync and uncheck what you don't need like Stocks, News, etc. Turn off mobile data, wifi and gps unless you need it. Also don't fill up 7 homescreens with useless widgets. Try to keep it to about 3 screens with a small number of widgets.

HTC Sync was my big battery hog. Removed the account, and it started sipping the battery.

I've done all these things guys. I'm just frustrated. The phone should last a day. When the thing is under 10% I look at battery use and display is always at the top but its always about an hour. Your really telling me I can only use my phone for an hour a day? I just can't believe HTC would drop the ball on this one. I'm going to look on eBay for a portable usb battery charger. Their about 10$ and it did the job with my iPhone 4

I would heavily suggest running CM7. It seems even better on battery than the way I had Sense configured.
BTW, You can't just disable HTC Sync account, removing it is what fixed my battery drain. Android System(which includes HTC Sync) was using at least a third of my battery life.

If I root and run CM won't I loose all the HTC sense and all those goodies?

Yes, however the speed and battery life is amazing. I will not be going back to Froyo, that is for damn sure. There isn't anything Sense really does that I can't get in the market or make it do myself.

well the battery life of most smartphones arent that good

+1 After removing the HTC Sync account from my phone, after being off the charger for about 11 hours, I was only at 76%. That's with Twitter refreshes every 30 minutes.

You could try the Revolution Rom. You keep Sense, but apparently there are a lot of battery tweaks.

I have owned almost every highend HTC phone and the battery is never the strong point. I guess I have become use to it over the last couple of yrs. I usually have the charge it throughout the day to keep things rolling.

Is it the HTC Sync account or the HTC Sense account that is reccomrnded to be disabled?

Sense and Sync are both under the HTC account. I just removed the entire account. Even with it disabled it seemed like it was still trying to connect, so I removed it just to be safe.

does the lag fix method for A9191 works for the Inspire 4G?
i heard this help improve the battery life for A9191
http://blog.developers.ie/bleo/archive/2011/02/12/htc-desire-hd---lag-fix.aspx

My new Inspire is getting better battery life than my old Aria did (only slightly; my Inspire is down to 60% by noon whereas the Aria would be under 50% both with moderate to heavy usage).

read this thread for help with your battery life.
rooting and installing custom roms is a sure fire way to increase your battery life.

It seems I read that the Inspire has a 1200 mah battery, is this correct? If so, then I am really really confused, as my aria has the same battery, but the screen is waaaaaay smaller. Granted, I can go a full day easily with a lot of usage on my aria, but I can't imagine trying to squeeze more than a few hours out of the aria battery in hungrier hardware. Someone pls tell me if I am mistaken, I was going to get this phone next month, but if the battery is the same as the Aria I think I will just have to wait on something else.

1230mAh, to be precise. The reason it is at least equivalent or better is more advanced, more efficient hardware such as processor and other chipsets. IT makes a drastic difference.

[Q] How's that HTC Inspire?

I have the Atrix 4G and am having too many issues with it. So I was thinking of transferring over to the Inspire.
Few questions:
-Hows the battery?
-Are the data speeds any better than the Atrix?
-Does the UI and the OS run smoothly?

UI is solid and runs well. Battery is good if you treat it nicely as far as wifi, data and brightness. Can't tell you anything about data speeds vs. Atrix. What kind of issues are you having with the Atrix?

HSPA+ wont be deployed til next month.

Just picked mine up today. LOVE it so far. Noticed that it seems to charge much faster than my friend's Incredible and doesn't seem to drain as quickly. This phone is infinitely better than the Captivate I returned. The only thing I miss at all is Swype. Gonna install that later today.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App

there are people installing swype and they are saying it works well. I personally have never got to the point where I liked it. It just made me have to think too much when trying to compose anything but to each thier own...

I've had the Inspire for almost a week now.
Hows the battery?
- The battery isn't as bad as I thought. You still have to babysit it, though. Turning the desplay down and staying on top of Bluetooth and Wifi usage will help. I can get through the day with only 1 charge. 1 Push email, 2 other emails @ 30 min. syncs, half dozen calls, moderate texting, and moderate web browsing.
Are the data speeds any better than the Atrix?
- Don't have the Atrix to test. There are reviews on the web that have tried and tested both. It'd be best if you try to find those to make a conclusion. Keep in mind though, data speeds are only as could as the carrier. In this case, we're dealing with the Death Star. Read into that what you may.
Does the UI and the OS run smoothly?
- The US and OS run as smooth as warm butter over toast. Many reviews online also report the same. I see no lags. The 2nd generation Snapdragon processor definitely helps. You won't be disappointed in OS speed.
As for switching between the Atrix, you may need to look into battery life depending on how you use your phone. As far as data speeds, do a little research as I don't know the answer. You won't be disappointed with the Inspire though. I LOVE the phone!

I exchanged my inspire and got the atrix; big mistake. I had to go back to radio shack to get my inspire back. The atrix is not for me. I like HTC and sense.

I am absolutely loving my inspire. Especially since I rooted and installed a custom Rom and overclocked kernel.

I've never used the Atrix, but the Inspire is amazing. I took my phone off the charger this morning at ten and still have 48% left. This is with moderate texting, web browsing, market, and just messing around with the operating system, so the small battery doesnt affect me that much.
I'd go with it.

The Inspire "only" has a 1230 mAh battery, but it's also a single-core, extremely efficient CPU. Talk time is rated about the same for both phones, but the standby on the Atrix is much, much lower (372 vs 250 hours, according to gsmarena). What does that mean? I suspect it means the Inspire is much kinder to it's battery.
Having said that, I rebooted my (mostly) stock phone today, and noticed the battery life was much, much worse. Loading Advanced Task Killer** I saw there were about 30 running apps, with about 111mb free. Killed the non-essentials, and things seem better now.
** I don't advocate task killers, and I never use them in automatic mode-- they are useful occasionally, though.

Ok, I was asking because its the same with me. I really prefer a keyboard but I dont really think I want the LG Quantum (I have an upgrade coming up and I think im gonna go with the Inspire) so the inspire is the phone I'm considering, but I was never big on touch screen keyboards because of response and ease of use. Plus, all of my recent phones have been windows phones, but I wanna try an Android powered phone. As long as I can sync my contacts from Outlook and create word docs im fine.

i have the inspire and love it
im watching this right now

I really enjoy the Inspire. My battery life was ok until I loaded CM7 on it. Once I did that, my battery life improved astronomically. I'm torn between my iPhone 4 and Inspire. I wish there was a way to cross them because there are aspects I truly love about both.

Task killers are gay, they don't anything helpful. Not with Android 2.1 and up... they're useless. Android operating system.knows what processes to keep and kill when needed... freeing up RAM on an Android OS is not necessarily a "good" thing. Just saying.

[Q] Any tips on saving battery on Sensation ?

So i just got a deal for a cheap Sensation and decided to give it a try. After a few days, i really like the Sense UI + ICS but find the battery is pretty bad compare to my GS2.
The Sensation drains about 8% overnight while the gs2 drains 2-3% overnight, both with nothing on. When playing music (doing nothing else,screen off) the battery drains a whopping 5%/h. while i dont think the gs2 would drain more than 1%/h just playing music. I thought the battery life on both phones should be more or less the same given the same specs and battery capacity (1650 vs 1520).
To be more specific, my ROM is ARHD 6.5.0 ICS, i havent installed any new app yet, i have the follwing widgets on : email, messages, weather, contact, task, music. I'm not sure if the drainage is coming from those widgets.
One more question, is there any way to quickly change brightness ? (like sliding the status bar as with the gs2). Auto brightness may be draining more battery but going through setting->display->brightness every single time is painful.
Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you.

something like this should do im not sure havent seen any other kernel for sensetion 3.32 base UV'ed

Juice Defender is a good option to test out, even using default settings it's pretty good with helping battery usage/drain.
Otherwise ARHD is using Sebastian's kernel at this point and you have the choice of using the 1.2 or OC'd 1.5 Ghz speed when flashing. If you're concerned you can use the 1.2 version or flash the 1.5 and just set the clock speed using something like SetCPU, available here on XDA, or System Tuner, from the Market.
As far as I know right now, the kernels are not allowing UV because the official source hasn't been released yet. Once source is released/obtained then things like UV and other deeper optimizations can be done by the awesome kernel developers here.

I normally perform my UVing through System Tuner Pro, but the options are not available at this time, I just checked, so I didn't realize another app that also allowed UV would still allow it. See what I get for assuming...... lol

So you have finally made your choice in choosing between HTC Sensation and Samsung Galaxy S II? Found yourself having to recharge your new Android device every 8hours? You’re not alone. Some users reported to have a poor battery performance for their Android phones. Older device ranging from HTC Desire, Motorola Droid, Samsung Galaxy S, Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 to the latest dual-core Android phones; LG Optimus 2x, Motorla Atrix, HTC Sensation, and Samsung Galaxy S II, are not sparred with complains of poor battery life. However, Android itself is not a power hogger, or call it battery juice sucker if you like. Many users were able to get their Android device up and running in a single charge up to 3 days(gosh I missed the good old Nokia 3310-era).There are many factors in leading to poor battery life. The very main reasons are the display and unnecessarily turned on features, which some users don’t have a clue in turning it off. If you are happened to be one of the Android users not happy of the current battery performance, or you simply just want to improve the extra mileage of your Android device’s battery performance, here are some tips in improving the battery life of your Android phone.

because its for sound boost only, idk what u seek but it wont handle your volume into time but just boost it, i also noticed it doesnt work on sense but will on nonsense roms

Battery problems absolutely solved with "3g off" widget, on the market. I don't need anything more than basic phone and sms for hours at a time so I just hit the widget. Takes a few seconds to sync latest mail when it comes back on but less time than that to just find a 4g link. Great when I'm at the ofc where my mail gets pushed to my laptop anyway.
Very useful also in a weak-signal area, stops drain due to signal-search.
Juice Defender is very good for battery life but this solution is even better although the widget does require manual intervention when the screen comes back up. I use both. Possibly JD paid app automates the whole process.

Which current ROM / Kernel combo gives you the MOST battery life?

If you're going to include statistics, PLEASE also try to include your SCREEN ON TIME, BRIGHTNESS, general use, wifi and lte would be good too.
I'm currently on CleanROM 3.0 and love it but thinking of switching to Lite version. worth it for battery savings? halp?

"BEST OF" Threads are not allowed on XDA. It sucks, I know. Because it'd be nice if there could be a place for some discussion... a "this rom is nice but that rom has better battery life" kind of thing
CleanROM is a good ROM, and Scott is an active developer here in the forums. Not sure how much better battery life you'll get from the lite version. I would imagine it'd be a lot because bloatware never helps battery life.

i'm confused, i'm not allowed to ask people for recommendations on what ROM has given them these supposed 5-hours screen-on times? I get 2-3 hours and my brightness is at 20% with wifi on on cleanrom 3.0 and im worried I have a defective battery. what's wrong with this question?

Unfortunately XDA Rules don't allow us to say what is the "best" in a specific area. You can ask for what ROM people are running and what screen on time they are getting so that you can determine it yourself.

Even though I'm all for following the rules I'm kinda confused why this rule was ever passed. In the real world there are always "best" of things. It seems this is just an ego protecting type of rule. However it would cause people to fight and say "No I have the best" and etc. People can't handle freedom!

I slightly want to kill you, mostly out of jealousy but also for not mentioning your brightness level, LTE on/unavailable, SYNC on/off, usage etc.
But this is enough to make me flash lite tonight after a total discharge. i'm at 44% with 1 hour 30 minutes screen on time. 10 hours 30 mins normal time at 2/10 brightness. (one notch above lowest setting)
is it possible i have a defective battery? or is Lite really that much different?
What's the procedure for switching from Standard to Lite? Backup all apps with titanium, flash dalvik and data cache, install via clockworkmod, then perform a battery calibration?

It is possible on CleanRom, I have so many other apps running at the moment that I get no where near that anymore. When you look at what he is running in his screenshots besides the screen he hasnt used much else (3% talk time for example). Now I switched between all three of the cleanRoms through the earlier development and did not notice a huge drop from DE to Lite. I went back to DE because I like it stripped of sense and their is still the debloating. I use FB and twitter so I wasnt going to stay on Lite for long.
I get roughly 8-9 hours a day on 25% brightness 3hrs of screentime but as I said I generally have a lot of other apps running that drain my battery that you may not run. (WiFi on most of the time and in an LTE area). My main drain comes from commuting to work in NYC when the service keeps dropping, which i read drains your battery quicker and it def appears this way. pansi (text messaging app) tends to use a fair amount of cpu power which helps drain my battery as does Defender II (a game).
Personally unless you are going to flash the lite version it wont make that big of a difference, it will depend more on what apps/screen brightness you are going to use.

Your correct,I don't set my screen brightness it's auto,I also don't use social apps like Facebook, etc. I do quite a bit of browsing and flashing. I've made some backups and flashed some mods and some of the apps I use don't even show up, why they don't I have no clue. I don't play mobile games though, which probably take up a lot of usage. I've had so many phones and roms over the years tell a lite ROM fits my agenda. It's still to each own. Just know I'm not just sitting and looking at my screen for over 5 hour of use lol. I'm also in and have LTE which shows in screenshots.

I found the cleanroms have really great battery life. I gave up Samsung skyrocket because of the poor battery life but with this phone and with that rom in particular I was very impressed. With a full charge I can last all day with a good amount of use (phone calls, texts, auto syncing, and email) and still have 40% or so at days end.

Have you tried any of the other settings (performance/battery, batterysaver)? I'm currently using cleanrom DE, but I'm a little underwhelmed by the battery life. It could be that I wiped everything and spotify/chrome/redditnews is downloading everything fresh (they have been using quite a bit of data). I guess my usage these past two days have been a little out of the ordinary.
I'm very interested with sick sense though. The battery carrot is very enticing. I'm a bit worried about the journaling though. Will it make it difficult if I want to switch back to another rom?

I haven't tried the other profiles yet. I wanted to start off with this profile to see what this rom can really offer under the highest settings. Based on what others have said about the other profiles, the battery saver profile is where it's at if you want maximum battery life out of your phone. As far as flashing other roms and journaling, I don't have any experience doing that because this is my first rom. Also, I don't know if the disabled journaling on this rom impacts flashing other roms and am curious to know as well. Anybody knows if the disabled journaling will keep me from switching roms? I am new to this stuff so bear with me here....

I have been using the Android Revolution 7.3 ROM since it came out but I see a lot of devs have pushed the Sensation even further since then. Also, it's time to completely reset the phone again (too much stuff installed and uninstalled) so I figured WTH, I'll check out ROMs again too.
So here's what I'd like:
1. Good working camera. I do vids and lots of high rez shots.
2. Voice dialing via bluetooth. Did anyone ever solve this without a third party app? It got introduced when TMO did their ICS "upgrade" which, IMHO, was worse than what they had.
3. Good battery life.
4. HTC Sense. I use it for HTC Sync only. It does the job even if it's buggy. Show me a good alternative for syncing my Outlook 2003 contacts and calendar and I'd dump Sense & Sync in a heartbeat.
5. Good audio.
6. Minimal bloatware. I install enough crap on my own.
7. I don't need a lot of fancy customizations and it would be nice if the phone was a tad faster.
8. There are lots of GAPPS I never use but I do use Maps, Play, I never use G Music, G Video, G+, etc. My email of choice is K9.
9. I'm OK changing 4EXT to something else if it's not a total ***** to do.
OK hope that's specific and friendly enough! What say you oh wise XDA peoples?

Oh and should Heartbleed be a consideration? Like I think the latest Viper ROM uses a vulnerable version. How does that affect things?

I'm in the same boat as you at the moment. I mostly want battery life though. I'm on HyperNonSense ATM, but was on ViperS 5.0. I didn't like Sense 5, and HNS is kinda bad on battery. So I'll sub to this topic, and look at it for updates.

By the way, do you have an Anker? What do you normally get for daily battery life on ARHD?

Yes I have an Anker battery. If I don't make any calls and just leave the phone alone (no screen), I can go for well over 2 days even with the phone grabbing email every 15 minutes. But if I start doing anything that needs the screen, probably a max of 24 hour. If it accesses the GPS then the battery drains quickly. I suspect if I turned off the K9 email updates, battery life would be much better.

May I just say that I'm getting terrific battery life with ARHD. It's been about a day and a half, and I haven't charged this thing. I've kept the screen dimmed, and the WiFi on. I'm at 33% battery. Glad I switched. Also, I have been reading that the InsertCoin Rom is a good ROM to check out if u like customization.
