Guys, I need some help. My four days old sensation is acting crazy. After every charge, the battery level does not change for some time. Like, today, took phone of the charger at 8 am and I used it for browsing the net for like 2 hours. The first time it moved was at like 1pm to 97%. After this, the battery started to go down somewhat . When I got home at 6pm, it was at 65%.
As I'm typing this right now, I took the phone off the charger at 79% , been using it for an hour straight , yet still shows 79%. Is this normal behavior for this phone? Anyone else have the same issue? Should I exchange this phone with another new one at walmart?

Lol, I get your point, but my main concern is that is this normal? Shouldn't it go down gradually from the beginning? Like just right now, its been off the charger for an hour and half, and just now it has moved for the first time from 79 to 77. And I've been using it non-stop during that time.

I think it's a problem to do with the software and battery stats. Other people have reported this issue (there was a thread about it sometime ago, if I can I'll find it). Maybe when we get root and clear the battery stats through Recovery we'll see it go back to normal. Or maybe a ROM such as CM7 will solve it.
Or maybe you do just have an amazing battery
It seems i'm having the same issue. Battery is stuck at 100 and battery voltage shown is actually rising.
When i charged my Sensation for the first time, it ended with completely discharged and overheated battery. Phone told me that i should have used only original charger and then restarted. The charger included looked original to me
I charged my phone from PC USB port and it worked until now. I just charged again with the included charger and now it's stuck at 100.
I don't know what to do now, my Sensation doesn't have any of the many other problems reported here, so i'm not sure i really want to get a replacement. Can this be a problem with the battery or is it phone hardware? I can't believe it's software...
I have seen a small improvement by charging before I go to bed, unplugging it from the wall and leave the phone on during the night with WIFI on and no apps running.
When I do that, and wake up in the morning, the battery is still at 100% and I can get a good day with heavy use, and a day and a half with moderate use easily.
However, last night, I needed the phone to be on as I was on call for work this morning so I charged it and then unplugged. But turned WIFI off as I did not want whatsapp msgs to disturb.
No apps were running, and the signal is just as strong as always (which isn't great but is is the same as always), but when I woke up after 8 hours, the battery has completely drained overnight to an alarming 12%!!
When I looked to see what was using the battery, Cell Standby has used 39% and Phone Idle 40%, the screen was only on for 3mins during that time.
My settings for apps are that they only sync manually or when opened, so nothing was running.
When I looked at the awake time, it shows that the phone has not been awake.
So I cannot understand why by turning WIFI off, the phone will drain overnight!
In a normal day Cell Standby and Phone Idle contribute very little to the battery usage in my case, but I just can't understand what has caused this to happen.
Any help appreciated, as I am quite alarmed thinking that my battery can die overnight when it has not been used.
Thanks
I had the same problem! I left my phone at 100% and turned it off over night. And the next morning it was at 7%!!
Sooooo many problems with the sensation, I am soon change my phone.
In your pictures i can see that you have bad signal. With this bad signal the phone will try to get a better signal all the time and this uses much battery.
Try it over night at a place with better signal and look how much battery it uses. And you can charge to 100% and then wipe batterystats in recovery maybe that helps.

Did you install any new apps or changed some settings in an app wich can cause this drain?
Wiped batterystats in recovery?
Did you change the CPUFREQ? Because i think faux kernel is at 1,7GhZ after flashing it. You can use faux clock to change the Kernel settings.

I have always the same signal, it varies from 2 to 4 bar, when I took the screenshot went down to 1 but I normally have a bit more.
So, with the same signal and WIFI on, when I wake up in the morning I still have 100%, this is what I don't get!

Not any power using app, just 2 game without playing them.
The latest official faux kernel's clock is 1.566 max.
I do use System tuner to control CPU and under volting.
This can make problem?

Did you download the latest fota update?
Because this update gave me also a huge drain in battery life. My solution was deleting my htc peep account in synchronization & accounts.
The drain was gone afterwards

The latest FOTA is not available on three uk yet, and I am on stock rom.
Haven't installed any apps in the last week...
The only trigger was turning WIFI off, hence why I am confused

Bcuz with your WiFi on the phone is not switching through data signals which uses less battery. I live in a bad signal area. So calls work great but data signal is crappy, goes from 2G to 4G to 2G..so with WiFi on for data there is no need to constantly try to grab a better data signal.

But data was also turned off, and I am only on a 3G network, not 2G available with my carrier.
My point here is that when I go on hols soon I will not be using data as I will be abroad, and WIFI only once a day maybe as I will be out and about.
So from last night's performance, does that mean I will only get 8 hours??
It is weird...
I was getting some insane battery drains my self after flashing the ARHD 3.X.X the one turning the sensation to XE , allthough I had very good signal and my phone fully recharged in the morning was like 61% for uknown reasons then I jumped to ARHD 4.1.7 and since then everything is fine .I don't understand though why some people blame the phone for it.to me it appears to be more like software tweaks and twists related to battery management the sensation is amazing phone I have it for a month and honestly I never regret the day i picked it when I had to make the choice senny or sg2

Is it normal? Newiest Stock ROM.
Help me with this issue my phone keep turning the screen off very often and it happens everytime I connect my charger. I'm getting very sick of it because it really annoy me. I'm not sure it there is a problem with unlocking button or is it a software related. But it is dead annoying. I'm running arhd 3.6.8 and while I wrote all this my phone turned the screen of 5 times.
Due to my battery life is very bad I have to charge it like 3 times in a day and my full battery last like 2 hours. Please help me with this issue.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
The reason I mentioned about my battery life is because since I have to leave my phone on charge all day and I'm using it at the same time this problem occur. But when I'm not charging my phone it happens like 1 or twice but on charge it happens like every 5-10 to 30 seconds so in a minute it happens like 10 times atleast

My desire s battery drops from 100% to ~15% after about an hour of surfing with edge mobile network.(with different roms) And my friend tell me that this is unusual. I have tried calibrate the battery with the battery calibrate app and it didn't help . It's there anyway to solve this such as flashing baseband?
Thanks for helping.

first open battery usage and investigate which app eat a lot of power.
sometimes just restart the phone will clear out the issue.
The app which eat many power is the browser but I have tried other browsers too but same problem happened.
I have restarted and flashed tons of times and ROMs but same happened.
Sent from my Desire S using xda premium
- which rom are you using? official or custom ?
- try to restart phone, donot open any browser and see if the battery still drain?
I tried cm stable, miui stable , HTC sense ROMs. It only drain when I surf with my edge mobile network. If I use WiFi its normally draining , about two to three hours.

Try to move to another place with good coverage and give it a try
As i remember i never flashed the radio. Can u suggest which radio should i use?
Does baseband affect the battery life? If yes l, which baseband should I flash? Thx

Can we use that if i'm using hboot 2.00.002?
- firstly check to see what radio version are you using now?
- make sure your phone was rooted when calibrate battery. Is it rooted?
serious battery problem
OK, I have a serious problem. I updated official RUU, and my phone is running smooth. Battery lasts 1-2 days, everything is working fine. But last night battery was on 17% and I put it to charge at 12pm, woke up at 6am and it was on 33%. I'm charging it right now and it's up to 41% then drops to 39% and so on. Tried another charger - same thing. It won't charge! No new apps, no new settings, battery stats shows the same power use,.... Battery health is good, Auto sync is off,.... I have Go Power Master, Juice Defender, shows no problems. 3G is off, it's on GSM only, Wi-Fi is off, GPS is off and so on, my phone is fully optimised and this happened last night. I charged it while off and now it's on 37%! So I guess it's not a software issue. Anybody has an answer or a clue what could be the problem, please? Is my battery dead (year of use)? Thanks in advance.
try to restart your phone?
Tried that. I'm currently charging it power off, turned it on and it's still draining. While it's off!
i guess it's battery problem. Borrow another battery from your friend and try again.
Well, it was a strange thing... I've noticed that GO Power Master is killing like 25 apps and prolonging time for some 2 and a half hours when you hit optimise button every 2 minutes. So some apps are running in the back and draining the battery. So I uninstalled some of them (clock widget, Noom, Zoner antivirus,...) and restarted phone and by the end of the day it was all stabilised like before. I don't know what happened. I'm still testing it but I've managed to charge it to 100% and there was no drain over night. We'll see.

maybe you should look at this man..http://lifehacker.com/5650894/andro...ed-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them
Noom
I have a S2 and every day, at 20:00 the phone starts a process and gets very hot and also drains the battery.
I discover that if I freeze the Noom app, it doesn't happen.
So, I blame noom for your draining issues and mine.
Does anybody else having this problem?
Regards
I didn't had a problem since uninstall, but it happened again later, I think it was from Firefox. While it was on charger, I got popup note saying something like "phone is using more than current can deliver, try to kill some apps or turn phone off while charging." First time I see that note. Probably because it was on Sense, not on launcher. I've noticed that Firefox is using a lot of memory, uninstalled it and it was all normal like before.

I had this problem, but svery time it was solved with rebooting. It showed normal percentage. I think, you just need to reboot device sometimes, may be once in two days. I suppose to think the couse of ghis problem is a kernel) it can be engaged with not an exact process, so battery drains. Try to change kernel, or rom, or battery)

This is an HTC problem. I have no clue why, but for some reasons the stats on their phones never report properly after having a custom ROM. I used to have an HTC Desire, then a GSII, now a Sensation. I noticed the stats were always off with my Desire, they were fine with my GSII, fine with a stock One X then with my Sensation I get the some terribly reported battery stats again. It is just something I have gotten used to.
Someone with more technical knowledge can explain better why it does that. But with the Desire it was a known issue which no one knew how to fix. Or the resources to fix it are just missing.
fix for battery stats and reboots
hey guys i had the same prob. was running viper 1.4.1 phone was rebooting and was geting crazy battery stats. i was reading a post about the the grounding pins on the back of the phone they touch the battery cover. pull those pins out ever so just for good contact with the cover but be gentle. i have done this and had no probs so far hope this helps let me know how u get on.
Have you checked to see if your getting a wake lock? You can download better battery stats and it will detect any wake lock you might be having and identify the offending app So you can stop the wake lock. Give it a try I think it might help. You can download better battery stats from here on xda, and read about bad and good wake locks. It's very informative. Hope this is helpful. Best wishes.
