Kernel Change Not Fixing ARHD 3.6.5 Battery Drain, Any Other Ideas?

I've been following the battery drain issue with ARHD, and I've tried changing kernels from the stock Faux, to Faux123 0.2.4.r, Bricked 1.5 and even Bricked 1.4r. None of these has fixed the drain problem for me.
When I look at Battery Monitor Widget, it shows between 100mA to 150mA when the phone is sleeping, so I'm pretty sure this is where the drain is coming from. Is it the rom or a "rogue app?" I turned off wifi, mobile, gps, bluetooth, etc. and the drain stayed at the same level while the phone was sleeping. What can I do to find out what the problem is?

yup am in a similar boat, would love to know the answer

Do you use facebook etc. How often does is sync? Do you have IM programs running such as Meebo or anything of that nature? What is your brightness at (hopefully not Auto). Does your radio get good signal (Menu > Settings > About > Battery > Battery Use > Click picture of battery drainage up top and is the phone signal section green, etc)
There are many things that can factor into this.

I do not use facebook, I have sync turned off, and I also have wifi, mobile, gps, and bluetooth off. For brightness I use the dimmer app, so it is on its lowest setting. Taking your advice, I looked at my radio signal, and using the recommended radio for ARHD, it showed the radio was not green but grey.
So I reflashed the radio to the one in your signature, and now that bar is yellow. I'll monitor this and let you know if this fixes the problem. Is the radio supposed to be green? Is there another radio I should try if this doesn't work?

Make sure you flash the matching RIL files to match the radio (when you do this in Clockwork Mod or 4Ext mount /system first before flashing the zip) to give best radio signal.
Green means you are getting good signal, yellow means decent, red is awful. Grey I honestly have no clue.
Different radios give different results for different people. I am not sure where you live to know the best radio to suggest but any changes make sure you match the RILs for that radio.

@ Kohr-Ah
where do you get the matching RIL's from ?
say I tried a different radio on my phone, just to try to get a decent usage from my battery, where does the RIL come into the equation ? what exactly is a RIL and what doe it do ?
Oh, I'm in the UK so if you have a good radio suggestion that I could use on the O2 network, feel free to let me know

Same here, sometimes it gets as low as 40mA but just stay like that for 2 minutes then it's back at between 90-180mA in sleep mode. I'm on ARHD 3.6.5 with Bricked 1.5... Stock gave me about 2 1/2 day of normal use, now I'm down at about 10-12h... Seems to me it's a ARHD problem and not Kernel cause I tried a few Kernels as well.

How about giving the stock kernel a try? Along with what everyone else is saying of course.

Matching RILS (Just match to the radio you just installed)
MUST MOUNT /SYSTEM before you flash. Otherwise they don't install.

That explains what the Radio Interface Layer is and does. Basically communicated the radio portion and telephony portion of your phone (if you don't want to read a techinical site)

Thank you so much for your help so far. I'm on Tmobile in the USA, what radio would you suggest for that, and where do I get the RIL files from?

I've had a good experience so far (in terms of both battery life and data reception) with the 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M radio and HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ. I tried the XE radio before that (10.15.9035.02_2 and HTC-RIL 2.2.0173HMQ), and it was also pretty good, but it seems like battery life and data reception is a bit better with the first radio+ril I pointed out.

Cause stock can't record calls... But I'll try that for test purposes and post the result here. I'm also going to try a different radio and perhaps a different ROM (maybe both Stock and cooked).
I installed Faux 014 last night and it worked really good (50-55mA in sleep) until I sent a text, after that it was back to "fake' sleep mode with 90-180mA. I guess this can still be Radio, ROM or Kernel... The search continues.

I have the same problem with both faux as bricked kernels. I never had this problem until I recently upgraded the ROM.
In sleep mode it takes about 6% battery per hour, with background sync off this is reduced to 4 - 5%. I usually lost about 1% and 2% max when it was sleeping. Didnt install anything new... And this is on my Anker 1900mAh battery. I really dont want to know how fast it will burn through my stock battery

Ok, I'll wait 3 charges and report back. During say when you first flash a new kernel, have you looked at the battery monitor app to see the drain? Like I've been saying, when the phone is asleep its draining over 100mA when this should be around 20mA or so. What could be the cause?

[Q] Massive Battery drain

Hello,
I've got a huge problem with my battery. I use the Android Revolution HD 3.6.11 with OC Daemon 1,5 GHZ. I've also installed the recommend radio and wiped my battery stats. CurrentWidget tells me that the average battery usage is about 53 mAh without Wi-Fi and 559 mAh with Wi-Fi. Also, the app "Wheres my Droid Power" tells me that 17,07 percent go to HTC Sense.
Do you have any tips how to fix this battery wasting ?
Thanks in Advance
Unlocer

I have the same problem, only the most usage of the battery is going to the Display and I don't know why. if someone could explain will be very helpfull.
I use the same rom and all.
my mobile HTC Sensation XE
Thanks

i have the same problem even though i'm still on 3.6.8 but i'm gonna flash 3/6/11 today

The best things I have found for battery drain is to make sure you do a full superwipe before every ROM flash, Lower the brightness of the screen (change from auto), disable tactile feedback, turn off BT, Wifi, GPS etc. when not in use (Tasker is very good), Also perhaps change your radio, if it's not for your area it could be sucking a lot of battery.
Hope this helps, but like i said this is what works for me, I also noticed that MIUI has great battery life and even now that im on ICS its great, Also just buy a bigger battery, I currently have 2 x 2450mAh, one in my cradle and one in the phone.

i have the battery drain problem alsao. i test with many different roms ,and Before install any rom, i always did wipe data/factory reset- cache- davik cache. Then format system. But it can't solve the problem. I monitor the battery with current widget app, and its log always show my battery drain from 60 mah to >200 mah (every 5 mins) when my phone in sleep mode (with : no auto-sync, wifi off, even data off, no gps, facebook, mail...is sync every 4 hours)...The lowest result i got is 9mah but it's not stable. I just don't know what is happening with my phone. Sorry for my english.

flash the bricked kernal thats the biggest battery saver tip.

What Radio Are You Running
I am having a problem and it started after I did the firmware flash upgrade and I was curious what radio you are running as stock. I am in Phx, az

I would download and flash the superwipe script before flashing any ROM rather than doing that stuff manually. Some users have reported that when they flashed the ROM again it sorted it out.
Deleting htc peep account in synchronization & accounts has also been reported to work in some cases.

I also used Super Wipe before installing the ROM. And I never activated a HTC Sense account, aswell.
I tried the Energy ROM now and I have to say, the battery life is much better than in Android Revolution.

Had the same problem myself, that's why I switched to MIUI.

[Q] My HTC Sensation Keeps Shutting Down

Hi - my HTC Sensation phone keeps shutting down on it's own randomly.
By shut down I mean screen goes blank, it powers down, only way to start again is to take out the battery and reinsert.
I am using stock battery that came with the phone.
It's happened 6-7 times in like 2 weeks. I can't determine what is causing it, I did notice it was twice when i used the camera and once skype.
The temperate in battery monitor widget appear normal, no like sudden jump that would indicate the shut down.
It is running 2.3.4 with Android revolution Rom.
Any help/assistance would be appreciated.
Lastly, for HTC repairs, what do they require, store receipt,etc.?

maybe this is a rom issue or maybe the kernel you are using...try another rom and see if it happens again...this is not hardware problem...

Try a new kernel first before reflashing rom. Also look at voltage levels, of volts are set too low this can happen.

Isn't ARHD a sense based rom? I use faux's kernel and he states that it is for AOSP/CM roms only. Could that be the issue?
Edit: My bad, forgot that faux develops the kernel for arhd as well. I had a similar issue when I tried to upgrade my radio to the newest from the same one you are using. Flashing back stopped the black screens.

I think I read in that thread that if people are having trouble with the overclock, to lower to 1ghz. But report back if your way works or not. GL

I have been having some random shut downs as well lately. I've been running the last insertcoin GB rom. It started as an occasional shut down but recently became very frequent. I decided to superwipe and flash the lastest android revolution gb rom and during the initial boot up it shut down and then 2 more times before I was able to finish logging in to my gmail account to complete the phone's setup. It's now started up and hasn't shut down in the last 15 minutes or so but I'm wondering what is causing it. I had stock kernel with insertcoin's rom and I selected the 1.5 kernel during the install of ARHD. I also flashed the recommended radio for the ARHD rom before installing it.

I would like to find a solution for this too because I have been dealing with this for a long time. I have tried many ROMS both ICS and GB and many different kernels and still have problems. The problem seems to go away with aosp ROMS for me though:/
EDIT: And the most of the time it happens if not all the time the batteryis below at least 50% and starts to really get crazy after the 20% and 10%

I am freaking so frustrated with this phone.
I went back to normal 1.2ghz, but now a few days later battery is well at 50%, it still shuts down.

Anyone have a solution here? Is there a damn log or trace that can be run to identify why it shuts down on itself.

Have you tried recalibrating the battery? Also, how much "screen -on" time during your 3-4 hours use?

Sorry, just noticed you said mostly not in use.
There's a apps you can download from the market- Battery Recalibration and Current Widget...with these 2 tools and a little knowledge of what running app/services are doing, you can track what's going on.
Or, you could just simply have a bad battery or a gooned-up flash (it happens).
Hope this helps.

On the contrary, battery calibration has been proved to be nothing more then just a peace of mind type of procedure and really not a huge benefit. My advice would be to get Current Widget and fully charge your phone. Unplug it and let it sleep for about 6-8 hours with current widget logging the mA drain (the log is an option in the app itself, you just need to enable it). After the 6-8 hours ( I normally do this when I sleep so I know the phone is not in use) check the log and see if there is any weird mA drain. weird would look something like
1ma
3ma
180ma
230ma
1ma
2ma
Normal would be:
1ma
1ma
4ma
5ma
1ma
You get the picture hopefully haha. If you have weird drain then best bet would be to full wipe and reinstall the rom and individually install your apps one at a time and monitoring the mA usage to see what apps cause the drain and what doesn't. You can also try new radios with their matching RILs and see if that helps. There are also apps like Juice Defender and Green Power that have been said to improve battery life up to 2x. Hope that helps.

I have tested apps, done the ( Let the battery die, and then charge wait off to give a more of it charge.

let your phone die and then recharging it fully does nothing for abnormal battery drain. So in that regard the only thing you proved to yourself was that your phone can charge properly. Are you 100% sure you are running the proper radio for the ROM or have the matching RIL for your radio? I still think its an app running in the background that is causing your problem. Are you sure that you full wiped and reinstalled the rom. Then with each app you want, install one. wait for 30 minutes and allow current widget to log the mA activity. Check the log to be sure there are no crazy spikes in mA and proceed to the next app repeating the same process. I know its annoying but that's the only way to be sure that your apps aren't causing the drain.
Also consider turning off sync, which I've heard can be a battery drainer. Turn off wifi as well when need in range since the scanning for wifi causes battery drain as well.

I really don't know, when I first got the phone, I Rooted it and unlocked it.
I Do have straight talk Sim I have been using.
all I did was change the ROM( I Think).
with all the little problems I'm having, I was think I have a lot wrong with it!
So I was going to download a need ROM, I seen talk about Radios, or RIL, and ROMS.
so No I don't know If I have everthing right.
I wasl looking atRCMixHD 4G V3.4 ROM, and if I used it, what Radio and RIL would I need.
having Stright Talk Service, witch runs on ATT, with difference APN settings.
what Would I need?
Thanks. Terrell

Usually, the ROM has all the correct radios, RILs, kernels etc inside the ROM itself and you would only need to change if you had some need for a different radio, like if you got poor service where you live. Kernels are dictated by the ROM.

On a different note.
All I can say is wow. 2,000,000 Roms and I still not know LOL. Thanks for all the info so far.

When you install a custom ROM it will include ROM, a certain RIL, and the kernel that the DEV has used with the ROM all in one package. The DEV will USUALLY let you know what the recommended radio should be to match the included RIL. You could flash it before or after you flash the ROM.
If you are having battery issues I would first start with a new battery. If you have already done that then flash a simple ROM for testing purposes. Stay away from highly tweaked and modified ROMs with a kernel set up for overclocking. I recommend juicy ROM from my sig. Install the 2.52 (R2) version which is still sense 2.5 and gingerbread 2.3.3. The ROM is flawless and you will get the best battery life than from anyother ROM. SEE how your battery lasts with it.
If you have your brightness set high, have many apps running in the background, are in an area where your signal is poor and is constantly lost, are syncing many accounts constantly, and you can't seem to put your phone down, then your battery will not last that long.

Its bootlooping (not good) ...I would suggest to boot back into recovery and wipe and check your md5 sum & reflash or redownload file if needed.

bootlooping isn't the end of the world. It only becomes an issue if you can't boot into HBOOT. You can boot into HBOOT by turning off the device and then holding the volume up and power button at the same time. You will then boot into HBOOT. From here your device will scan for a "PD98IMG.zip". I'm guessing since you don't know how to get into HBOOT then you've probably haven't flashed a radio so you shouldn't have a stray PD98IMG.zip on your sdcard. After it scans and doesn't find a a PD98IMG.zip you will be given a few options. One of which will be to boot into recovery. Do that. From there you can check the md5 (if you're using EXT4 recovery). If you want you can re-download another ROM and from recovery you can mount your SDcard so you can put the new ROM on your sdcard and flash per usual.

Sensation Queries

Hi,
Now i dont know whether this is the right place to post this question or not but since this seemed like a general query, someone please help me with them:
1- i've been using albinoman887 jb 4.2.2 rom, mikes ARHD 7.3 and now viper 3.1.1 rom. the battery is draining quite fast in all the roms. is there anything called power management that causing the battery to drain fast? is there an apk or something to solve this problem?
2- if the scrolling between screens or within settings or app is slow and the touchscreen response is low what should i do? can installing a different kernal solve this issue? faced this problem with cyanogen mod rom

If you're experiencing battery issues even on ARHD I'd suggest getting a new battery. On Mikes's ROM you should be able to go 15+ hours with 2.5-3 screen time. If you're getting much lower results you might want to get a replacement battery.
Stock batteries on Sensation usually last no more than 2 years.

1) There are ways to improve battery usage. There are apps that drain battery, connectivity, every ROM needs a couple of days to calibrate the battery - so until then battery life will be shorter. You should see what's draining your battery in the settings menu.
2) I don't see any reason for cyanogenmod 10 (or even 10.1) to be slow. for me it runs blazing fast on stock settings (and even downclocked the CPU (which also helps with battery life)). Did you change your CPU settings? having CPU frequency too low can also affect touch response (If I'm not wrong, but some people report this).
Also, when flashing a ROM, remember to fully wipe your phone to prevent bugs.
There are ROMs that don't have a different kernel (like cyanogenmod), so you'll have to do with the included one.

Well i've been searching in the markets here for a new original battery but all i can find are chinese copies. and besides i am more interested in buying a mugen or an anker which are extended batteries but buying them online is difficult here in Pakistan.

There is an Iranian brand I'm using called Pierves. They make replacement accessories for phones. I don't know if they ship to Pakistan, but you might want to give it a try. Www Pierves.com

Are you using albinoman887's cm10.1 rom? if you are then plz help me with it. i need to know how you are able to run it blazing fast. my problem with cm10.1 was that the scrolling seemed real slow and i had to charge my phone almost 3 times a day. how do i downclock the cpu? i have little knowledge about cpu settings. i installed setcpu with the max frequency set to 1566 Mhz and lowest to something like 300 but i dont know what that means and how it affects the performance. does the full wipe also include memory card? i dont do that.
plz correct me if i'm wrong but i think there is a sultan kernel available for cm10.1 (albinoman's rom) will installing a different kernel help? how do i install different kernel? simply flashing it?

Those CPU values seem to be Okay. Also, make sure your governor is NOT poerformance, as it locks your CPU to full power while using the phone.
When saying full wipe it does not include the memory card, it's Data+cache, but you should also wipe system between ROMs. I suggest you make a clean install of the ROM, as I find it weird that it won't work properly. Use the latest version available and wipe system, data and cache. Also wipe battery stats. This should clean the device and allow better performance and battery life (should take 2-3 complete battery cycles (100%-0%)).
Also, use Android Tuner and find the option to TRIM your partitions, it could improve performance.
In CyanogenMod -go to developer options and enable "force GPU processing". I don't do it, but it could smoothen up your experience.
