Hey guys. I have the sensation and I have to say I am really annoyed by this phone, HTC sense repeatedly crashing but then I rooted and have many roms but yet again, since the beginning my phone always overheats., even after about 2 minutes of browsing the web. I've just ordered an anker 1900 battery and all I want to know is if I replace the battery, can I expect less overheating or is it something else?
Thanks
Are you running any custom kernels? Also sometimes you get stuck with a defective battery.

Not sure what I could have done but since yesterday my battery life has been nuts. I installed and am using a livewallpaper but that's it. Phone has been on for 5 days and it just got better yesterday. Is it even possible that lwp could help battery life?
Doing well today too will post screenshot later on. I've been using it as normal so its not due to change in usage at all. Again the only link I can find is the lwp!!

Wow. That's amazing! Wish I got that kind of usage!!

I'm pretty sure live wallpaper won't be saving you battery, having a constant animation on your background is only going to increase your CPU load and RAM usage, which will surely impact on your battery life.
What ROM/ kernal are you using?

I wish my phone would do that too, I need to charged it everyday.
I knew it was going to be like this before i got it, but sometimes is just annoying.

One of the most effective things I have ever done for battery life is, after the first full drain/charge Calibration I did four more full drain/full charges before using normally. Then I remained patient with imperfect battery life until those steps were done.
Battery life is great.

Jealous!
Wish I got those kind of results. After the update to 2.3.4 my battery life has been terrible and nothing I seem to do is helping
It simply looks like you've been on wifi a lot. It's known that being on wifi puts A LOT LESS strain on your battery than does using the network.
Same here battery life is not as good as expected but I guess there's not much we can do, either buy a much bigger capacity battery or be contended with what the stock could offer.

How much screen in time? It can last forever on stand by.

This is what I have now. With just casual texting and facebook, auto sync is off on all accounts except weather for the widget , no games. So I'm sure by the end of the day ill only get atleast 8hrs on my battery if I get lucky. From 100% to 65% in 3hrs I don't know if its good or not but oh well what can we do.

Yeah wifi and wifi calling help a ton. This is today with hardly any wifi and a little more usage. Still it gets me through most days from waking up to sleeping.

me too have a great battery life
since rooted and using leedroid ROM, my phone could last 12 hours with casual fb, sms, and calling. with some note-taking.
Got the Anker, and haven't really been following their recommended instructions. I guess I'll suck it up for the next week and just do it.
I'm 100% stock and unrooted but using LPP instead of Sense. That's it.

Good battery life here, 18 hours use with ~25% left when i plugged in last night. Rooted running Revolution HD ROM over clocked at 1.56GHz
Using Leedroid and a 7 quid 1900mA battery off Amazon. Auto sync off a few phone calls moderate to high texting and tweeting. A little gaming.
I can easily get over 2 days on 1 charge

Are you charging via pc ??

Have you tried a different battery? Perhaps a new battery would solve the issue? This way you can see if it's the device or battery. If your still having troubles with a new battery it could be the device or the charger It's self. Hopefully its something as simple as needing a new battery but you must do some experimenting to find out. I'd start with a new battery and see if that corrects your issue. Best of luck.

Thank you for your reaction but ive tried already other chargers.. last night something else happend, normally when your battery is down and you charge it you can use your phone right? I have to charge my phone full before i can use it..

today i've got 58 mins with screen on and only 17 % left -.-
the phone is only 3 months old

Hi there, have you tried a long lasting battery like Anker? It does make a difference.

no, i didn't try something like that.
because the first month i had the phone, the battery life was very good, almost 2 days and 4 hours screen on ...
You ought to give it a try .its really made a difference for me my stock battery was horrible, but now its decent! You can get one for under 20 bucks! Well worth it!

yeah, i want to buy it on amazon, 9,99€ is a fair price i think.
but i'm wondering why my battery is so worse since friday ...
before friday, it was okay(about 3 hours screen on, still 30 %)
Okay buddy i do not mean to be a a**hole but there is a TONS of thread like yours and the solution is easy : get an extended battery like anker mentioned above....
We all know the stock battery is sh*t ..
Next time search up a little bit should save you some time..
And remember nothing personal just sick of these "my battery is crap " threads...

Unfortunately, there is a lot more going on with our sensations than just a bad battery. I recently bought one on cl. After diff and trying a few roms, I wiped battery stats with 4ext recovery. Low and behold, 3 hr battery life. After numerous attempts at figuring out what went wrong, I flashed the stock recovery after restoring a stock 3.32 backup. Flashed the tmo RUU. And tried that for a day. Shimmed the battery with a piece of credit card, just in case, and I was good. Unlocked the boot loader once again, and restored a backup. I'm now at 18% after 11 hrs. Not really sure what happened but I would recommend going back to completely stock and shimming the battery. Good luck

Hi, its been a year since I am in this rooting process and changing Roms and kernels but for few days i'm noticing an issue not only on VIPER 1.60 (currently using it) but also on others. My phone takes long time to charge and the battery bar is all messed up. Shows different readings before and after restart and all the battery just drains with speed of light? Need advice, thanks
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
As a last step before getting a new battery, probably you could try placing a paper card or credit card between the battery and the back cover to see if there is an issue with battery positioning. I resolved similar issue with my phone this way.
If your battery is draining that fast, yes I would definitely look into buying another. My stock battery was awful, finally I broke down and got another, I'm very glad I did! It makes a big difference to have a good extended life battery! If I we're you, yes I would by another battery. Hope this is helpful. Best wishes.

Sometimes the problm is with the machine inside the phone. If that machine is malfunctioning then it will also make your new battry dead.
So confirm it first.

I had a similar issue, my battery wouldn't charge past 80%. I tried wiping my battery stats and everything, try the battery in a different phone if you can. I bought the 1900 MHA Anker on amazon. I get 6-12 hours more out of this battery than I did with my stock because it was so beat. Good Luck
Thanks everyone I will get new one ASAP and I think hardware except battery is sound

Charge your battery to 100%, reboot to recovery, wipe battery stats, and reboot.
Tried 100 of times but I think no luck I have been doing this for so many ROMs

Hi, I'm rather new to android and I recently bought an anker battery from amazon since my stock battery was draining battery really fast. However, I other than the first day if usage where my battery life was really good, I've realized that my battery isn't doing very well now. Light usage of the internet will cause a drop of abit 1% per min. I've searched threads and have downloaded GSam battery monitor.
From the app, I found out that most of my battery drain was due to "Kernel (Android OS)". Here are my results. I would appreciate it if you guys could take the time to help me find out what has been causing this battery drain.
I don't have any other apps open btw.
Thanks a bunch!
ps: typing this post drained 6% of my battery.
