I flashed the HoneySenseHD 5.0 with EXT4 and noticed that the battery life is poor. im really happy with the ROM. Its really good. Slick. but maybe someone can help me if its a common problem.??
Android Version
2.3.3
HTC SENCE Version
2.1
Baseband
12.39.60.19u_26.06.04.06_m
Browser V
Webkit/533.1
try clearing the battery stats using recovery mode. that fixed my battery drainage problem.
Also, if you haven't already, take a look into getting SetCPU. It's really been a huge help with battery life for me.
I had the same problem with honeysense. Loved the rom but battery would drain 5 percent in idle. Searched the forums and someone else had the same issue, the solution posed to that poster was simply to try a different rom.
I moved on to rcmixhd and have been very happy. Just be sure to flash the percent battery mod on top if you like that sort of thing.

HTC SENSE 3.5 (i dont want it like SENSE 3.0, it will restarts every time i uninstall any app)
GTALK WITH VIDEO CALLS
WITH MORE BATTERY LIFE
Bluetooth with audio output
For what you're after I'd have a look at the InsertCoin ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198684

What does crack/flash mean. It's S-OFF'ed right?
I would recommend Bulletproof. ARHD eats batteries, and when I was on InsertCoin it was slow and camera FC'ed.
Bulletproof if you want a Sense experience. That ROM is very solid and under appreciated. I like to bounce between Bulletproof and CyanogenMod.

I have to say its Bulletproof for me at the minute, battery life is brilliant compared to any of the others I have tried.
Ok so, I hope this doesn't in terms become a thread jack but, I had recently installed Andorid Revolution HD by Mike and it had it's ups and downs for me, but I wanted something else. My friend had recommended that I try out cyanogenmod, which I did, just flashed it last night. Now the major difference I've noticed is, no HTC sense and very empty, which I liked because it gave me a sense of room to customize my phone more.
The only problem I'm having is, when I had the Revolution installed my battery was much more signficantly better than it is right now. I've done battery calibration and I've had it drop down to at least 25% and then I went to full charge last night. Today I used the phone to drop it down to 38% and then I went to full charge and this is all without any phone calls. Just text messages and Facebook, anyone know what I can do to improve battery life?
Btw what does FC means :X

FC = force close. An unexpected/abnormal termination of the application.

Underclock your cpu there is no need for 1.5 really
Use juice defender to manage your connections, (turns them off and on when screen off and on)
Try different kernels
Keep screen brightness down
I find all roms don't report battery stats totally accurate, more so in cm7 builds,
Bare in mind sense 3.5 is in beta
And...
CM7 is still in alpha
If you want perfect builds you'll be waiting a little while
I find insertcoin the one with least errors
But I've not tried bulletproof I will do tho tonight

You just flashed it, expect your battery to be really bad for the first four cycles or so. Fully charge and discharge at least three times. Once it stabilizes, your best bet is to exercise battery conservation practices, like Juice Defender mentioned earlier.

I've run ARHD for several version, I switched to InsertCoin and really like it. Runs a little hot on my phone with bricked kernel. Truthfully I'm waiting for an official release of cyanogen mod. Any ideas when that will be?
Oh alright, I'll give Juice Defender and Bulletproof a try as well. Yeah I do understand that CM7 is still in the alpha stage.
In terms of "best roms for sensation," what makes CM7 so much more popular? Or all the available roms out there like InsertCoin, Revolution, Bulletproof are just as popular but it depends on the user preference?

User preferences really, it doesn't use htc sense its pure google it runs how google intended it. There's no bloatware and no un necessary processes, it's clean and smooth.

I'm trying to calibrate after flashing a rom to get better battery life and I'm using Battery Calibration to do it. So far I've only flashed 4 roms since I first got my Sensation, ARHD 3.6, MIUI, ARHD 4.1.13, and now at my current rom, Virtuous Inquisition v3.5.1, which is amazing by the way, and my battery never stops showing a charge even after charging it all night. I was able to calibrate successfully after flashing ARHD 3.6, but not after 4.1. Is there a way to fix this? And if buying a new battery is they way to go, do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi, my phone is htc sensation 4g. I've tried hypernonsense 2.8, ordroid 8.7, android revolution hd, and ordroid 9. I think all had a problem - camera close immediately when a picture is taken with flash on???? Also sometimes wifi complaint. camera sometimes work fine although.
Also the phone gets heated quickly wen using the internet.
I've decided to buy a new battery -anker 1900mah, i c it on ebay.
Is it good??
wat's ur opinion with all these probs? one more thing battery backup is too low
Is the battery charged when you are taking pics? Android revolution is pretty stable and you shouldn't have any problems there or with any of the other roms you mentioned. Did you update the firmware to match with the rom? Are you using any mods? Any mods that the rom installer gave you the option to flash? any extra kernels flashed separately?
iam currently using ordroid 9.0. the fimware is flashed using pg58img. kernel is faux123v007
hq ultra 1.5 mod for sense 4 flashed
the battery had 62% left
but when i clicked the with flash on the device rebooted:crying:
Help me
iam now thinking to install smartdroid berserk 1.5
hoping all probs are solved in that
pls give opine about the berserk and anker battery
HELP
If you want opinions on the battery, you could check Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk - plenty of reviews there.
I love my anker battery. On stock battery my phone would get hot doing regular things but with anker my phone stopped getting hot like that. it has made a big difference to me

Ok so I have a T-Mobile HTC sensation 4g and am running elegance Pegasus sense 3.6 the latest update of the 3.6 Rom. Randomly my phone just shuts off, not often but enough to miss some calls. What could be causing that? And does anyone else have that problem? I love the Rom. It runs smooth and has a great battery life. When I switched back to stock tmous Rom the random shut downs stopped. Maybe it's a kernel issue? Any suggestions on a kernel to use maybe with it. I tried faux already. Any suggestions or maybe a new Rom to use would be helpfull. I'm looking for speed, stability and excellent battery life.. thanks guys and gals.
What is your kernel?

I used to have random shutdowns on Sense 3.6, and over time I realised it was a issue with how sense was measuring battery life....
as in I would have my phone on 80% battery then it would reboot and show 50%......Then I switched to the Elegencia sense 4 rom and I haven't had that problem since...
but if you still want to use a Sense 3.6 rom, you should try charging your phone completely....then goto recovery and wipe battery stats and cache + dalvik...( if its a problem with battery calibration that should resolve it)
If you want to try another kernel you could go for Sultan....works quite well with the sensation
Wiping battery stats does nothing. At all.
It might be that the contacts on your battery are losing the connection to your phone. A piece of paper taped to the top of the battery might help.
