I noticed that Android system, camera, internet, dialer are always using my sensors, is this normal? I barely used my camera, internet, and dialer today. Im getting about 14 hours out of my extended battery with light use. I used to get better battery life but i dont know whats going on now. I restored a back up of the same rom i was using and battery life isnt as good as before. When you open your battery history app, are your sensors being used as much as mine?
thanks for any input

You haven't provided any details of your setup.
I know when I was on a GB ROM (CM7a10) it had weird sensor usage and not all that good a bettery life (only have the stock non-XE battery). I'm now on an ICS Rom (VI) and TBH the battery life has been transformed ;-)

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.

It would be a value somewhere that could be changed but will require some digging around and probably root access.
Perhaps the limitation is built into the camera app itself. Does this limitation occur with any 3rd party camera app?
This limitation has been the same for all HTC phones released in the last 12 months or so. My old Desire HD used to do the same thing when the battery was "low".
it is pretty annoying, im sure a developer will find it soon, just needs a little digging around like jivemaster said.
Yeah, it is annoying. Gotta have your battery charged in case you go out at night I guess.
oh alright then
It is very annoying for me also. I usually go out for half hour and have 30-40% battery charged so mostly it goes below 30% and not having falsh enabled is a big mess. Since I am a photography lover & I love to capture precious moments. Someone should come up with with a way around.

Any Solutions Yet
Have you tried disabling power saver?
i always have it disabled
I had same problem. Solution for me was upgrading to latest ROM (2.3.4 ->1.45.401.2 ) ofcourse original, HTC ROM, because I bought this phone for sense 3.0 (i don't know why people write new ROM without sense and say ... My ROM is better... There is something wrong with them...I think.. ...
huh..

it would be great if someone can build an apk or a patch for it to force the flash to work when the battery is low

Flash a custom kernel. I know faux's kernel's have lowered the limit to 10%.
Controlled by the kernel.
Some custom kernels lower the threshold (as long as power saver is off).
Check the Sensation Development section and read up on kernels.
Faux and Bricked both offer lower thresholds, I believe. Check Unity as well.
The features and changelogs will be in first or second post of Kernel thread.
P.
I think it is great idea! What if you got ALOT of stuff to backup, and flash at the same time, and suddenly the battery runs out.. Think about that.
Hi I'm new to sensation dev and I have a quick question I'm use sense 4.0 Rom with faux123 kernel I was just askingif there is a battery mod or something to help save battery?
Oh yeah the Rom is ordroid 8.6.5 4.0.3
Sent from my Sensation 4G
I think there is but I'm not sure of link but wanted to ask are you still stock battery? It helps a lot if you upgrade to a longer lasting battery say like Anker. I use Anker and its made a huge difference in my battery life. Also after flashing rom, make sure battery is at 100% then plug into charger, go into recovery, wipe battery stats, then unplug. This helps a lot. Also make sure things like sync is turned off for things you don't need, stop non needed running applications in the background, turn off blinking notifications , turn off feedback vibration ect, make sure backlight is minimum brightness, doing these things with a better battery will really help you! You will be surprised how much more time you get with Anker battery. I wish you the best! Hope you get the better battery because is really made a difference !
ps I'm running Ordroid 8.6.5 also

Yes there is. Look in my signature and chose the power-saving option from that page it leads to. It is extremely good and although it only ever uses one core I can't notice a different in speed, only an epicly increased battery life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I use viper and it is giving me a good battery life. I don't know about aokp/cm. I think you should try everything and then you will chose whatever is good for your needs.

cm10 has nice battery life ..m using dark jelly S v20 the battery is really good works almost a day for me with me almost connected for 14-16hrs of wifi connectivity and listening music and of course auto sync always on ! u should try all once before proceeding further
Energy ROM and of course.. other stock based ROMs have the best power management available, you know, engineered by HTC

For me, cm10 gives better battery life than stock Sense. I think it depends on how you use your phone.
I'm using Baked too, but for me battery life is just great! Actually on 57% with 8h 27m and almost 1.5h screen...

Of course rooting for battery is a good idea. Undervolted & underclocked kernels, delete bloatware that's constantly running, etc. And as far as best battery life, baked has been very kind to my phone.
A typical day for me (7am on phone for 2-3 hours reading the news before work, music to/from work, light usage on breaks, then hotspot at home for internet, and all the calls/texts in between and countless downloads) will leave me with 20-30% battery when I go to bed around midnight

Hi, All with my brand new, rooted, unlocked bootloader, and new kernel, HTC ONE S CS (S3) I've noticed poor battery performance.
So is there any app that could help? Of course they are many, but actually is one of them work good on HTC ONE S? Thanks.
There isn't really an app that can save you battery. It depends on what ROM your on. You should around and see which works best

I'm using battery guru. Just started using it so I'm not really sure how well its working. I have found that the kernel can really affect battery life, try flashing to another kernel and give it a couple of days to see if its better.

Kernel is the main contributor to battery life as it is mainly what controls everything behind behind the scenes
