I've been all through this app searching for that one special combo that will guarantee me atleast 10 hours of battery life. I've tried fuax trinity stock kernels with miui , hyper sensation, leedroid, virtuous inquisition you name it. Most of them only gave me about 5 hours with heavy usage. I don't play any games much and I disable everything that's recommended to save battery life but still 5 hours. I have the newest firmware and I'm currently on rcmix with the kernel that already is loaded. I'm getting roughly about 7 hours with heavy usage. I set the governor to 192- 972 conservative. I've been checkin out quadro but the recent comments state they are getting huge battery drain. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

ARHD seems good for battery life. I'm on 13 hours with 32% remaining.
My usage today was playing games for about 30 minutes, some music, texts, some Browsing and a bit of calling and taking a dozen or so photos.

Anyone who has installed the Gingerbread rom on their Inspire, have you noticed any difference in battery life. This is supposedly the main benefit to the upgrade. I want to wipe the Bloat ware off my system, but not install a rom unless it makes a huge difference. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated...
I am running inspired ace which runs gingerbread and battery life is great.

Major increase by about 3 hours...set cpu to power save when screen off and run at 756 does amazing things.
Also lowering brightness and turning of network when not in use

I too started getting MUCH better battery life with gingerbread. Any non-stock Rom for that matter.
If you want the absolute best in battery life go with gingerbeast ROM...

+1 to inspired ace and much better battery life than stock.
Last time I went battery for awhile; See attached.
Granted 9 hours of that I was asleep as was the phone but the rest was me playing games, reading, downloading apps, browsing listening to music using stereo bluetooth.
Rom is in the Sig.
Gingerbeast does have awesome battery life. I reverted back to RCMix3D only cause I missed it, and I get about 10-18 hours out of my battery on that one.
+1 on the RCMix,, cant say its much longer,, but it is good for a 8 hr wrk day..
+1 for inspired ace rom - battery is great and so is the performance increase!

That is word for word what I do...
And it is amazing. I highly recommend this.
gingerbeast has been ridiculously awesome for me on battery life. with moderate to heavy use, i get 12-18 hours of use a day
I have used HoneySense and LeeDroid, I have found that LeeDroid's kernel MUCH better than both HoneySense and the stock when it comes to battery life. In the end, it all depends on what you want, when you want alot of bells and whistles on all the time, your battery life will suffer, if you are more minimalist, you battery life will be much better
So far I've been one of those 'bells and whistles' people, and even on VU1.27 which I assume is pretty efficient I only get 8-9hrs. Surprising the biggest user has been voice calls, which will suck the battery dry in 2-3hrs if you have a couple long conversations.

I have noticed once the Dialer is used, it seems to keep eating battery if I don't restart. I'm not sure if this is the ROM or android in general though...

Glad I'm not the only one. Just assumed it was a radio issue.
Well sortve. What do you guys consider good or bad battery life on this phone. Right now I'm running Sky ICE with faux kernal and getting about 10% per hour. To me that's better than what I got stock considering its OC but how does that compare to everyone else's?

I am really heavy user and get about 10hrs or more with 2h52m of display time plus 44m of Asphalt 6 hd gaming. So it all depends on how you use your phone.

I'm running Space Pirate with romracers kernel (no OC) and my battery has been improving daily. Started around a drain of 3.7-4.0% per hour and the past few days has been 2.4-2.7% per hour. This is all with moderate use throughout the workday. Responding to a few texts here and there, checking some email, surfing the web while at lunch, and browsing the XDA app while in my other office (the bathroom... which may or may not be right now). Last night I plugged it in at 4% remaining after 1d 11h. So I've been very pleased with its battery. Compared to my Captivate, anyway, which couldn't even make it through the same workday.

I get about 14 hours or so with Sky ICS but I still feel like it could be better
What's up guys?
Next week I will be flying to Europe for 2 weeks trip, and I am looking for a Rom for the Sensation which will give me as much as possible battery life.
As for today I am using Insertcoin rom sense 4.0, which is great but after 10-12 hours of medium use I need to recharge the phone.
I need a Rom with or without Sense (but with android 4.0), that will be good for a day of use with Gps, Wifi and stuff like that.
Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks Alot and have a great weekend!
I think the stock battery is just poor better get an anker like i did from ebay and i do not regret it a single bit battery has been improved by almost 2times ! I can do 17 hours unplugged whit 3hours screen on time which i couldnt do anything close to that before..

Hi guys, I was just wondering which ROM is the best for battery life. I am looking for any AOKP based ROM like Bruces CM10. I've heard that Android Revolution HD is the best battery life ROM, but I don't like the theme that its based on HTCs stock rom. Any suggestions for good ROMs for battery life?
I'm currently on Bruces CM10, lasts approximately 12 hours with about 2hrs and 30 minutes on screen usage (medium).
Try out a few different roms and see what works best for you. I like paranoid Android personally but you need to try out several roms and see which gives you personally the best battery life. Hope this is helpful. Best wishes. Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
Thank you, however could anyone tell me which ROM out of these two has the best battery life?
[ROM][Sense 4.1][11.11] Team Venom: ViperS 1.4.0
or
[KernelTUNER ] [4.1.2][ v.12 ][OS-2.54] OFFICIAL ParanoidAndroid
not everyone uses the standard battery.
you better self test.
is also more fun

Been using ARHD 6.8.0 on a Sensation and the other half's XE. Using sebastianFM kernel.
Slight undervolt and running at up to 1.5ghz. It goes easily a full day of moderate to heavy use. Can get 2 with light use.

Ah I do like the sound of that but I just don't like the stock look of that ROM.
it really depends on how you configure your phone and the kernel to preserve more battery life.

Yeah, at the moment I put my brightness on the lowest, turn wifi off when I can, and undervolted to 1024Ghz and I can just manage about 2 and a half of hours medium usage over a span of 12 hours.
Oh Iv been hearing about Virtious Inquistion ROM, hows the battery on that?
Also the ViperS 1.4.1 rom, can someone give me an insight to the battery on that?
HyperNonSense
hey guys! so i have an htc sensation one year 4 months old and the battery life is kinda " crappy " .
i charge it when i'm asleep and it goes from 100 to 85 in almost 5 min .. and if i continue to use it (heavy use) it can live up to 3 hours max !!
is that normal ??
or should i buy a new stock htc sensation battery or maybe u could recommend me a good battery that last longer ?
waiting for ur answers ^_^
P.S: i live in sweden ..
no it is not normal
you should definitely get a new battery
try to buy Anker or Mugen batteries
they last quite longer
Like the guy said above; buy an Anker 1900mah battery from amazon.com. Will give you roughly 20% extra mileage on stock. Also from my experience with this phone the ROM and kernel also impacts battery life. For the best battery life use the badass governor on battery saving setting and set the cpu between 192-1086mhz. As I don't game heavily and just heavily text, call, browse it lasts me a full day with brightness on lowest.

thank you for the reply , i use bruce's cm 10 with his kernel. and i don't game at all i can say .. but it's just the battery that sucks .. one question does amazon ship to sweden ?
Edit: just bought one from uk amazon thank you guys really
You're welcome Have you tried changing badass governor to battery saving in his init.d script? And turn off the capacitative button lights using kernel tuner. I'm using this set up and I get 4 hours onscreen time on the latest CM10 version

yes i've tried that before but no difference :| so i bought a new battery :good:
I would reset the phone and buy a new an OEM battery. You can use the 1730mAh battery from a Sensation XE(check eBay). I wouldn't recommend an aftermarket battery, since they are of lower quality that HTC made batteries.
I just bought the 1900mah anker battery from amazon . I'll try it and see
