[Q] Battery Thoughts....? - HTC Sensation

Rom: Ordroid 3.0.2
Kernel: bricked 1.0 - default 1566/192/486, low OC gpu
Battery: Anker 1900
Auto Brightness
3G mode only (cuz of network)
Undervolt: -50 from stock bricked voltage
With those settings... in 1 hour of screen time I have seen to gone from 89% battery to 40% :S...
is it just me... or does that seem a bit drastic fall? I see people with 5 hour screen time... how are you guys achieving this....
please if you can include all your setting as well....
PS: is there better battery savings in sense 3.6? or does it make no difference?

It depends on what you do. If you play some really hardcore games. It's going to be like that. If you just browse the web you should be able to achieve the 5 hours mark. It can also be that the battery memory is not accurate.

The 3g only mode chew through battery too, but not to the point of 40% in 1hour.

do a restart after that 1hour and see if battery level pump up again..
if it is .... it would be fine

Ya I've noticed if I restart it does jump battery up a bit... But that drains very quickly too....
Longest battery I have gotten was 16hr on wifi... But the screen on time max was 2 1/2 hours... Which makes no sense cuz my s2 has a smaller battery but I could use it a lot more

I have the same rom and kernel but using the stock battery and I have never got more than 2hours on hsdpa browsing. It is extremely annoying to not have the ability to go somewhere without carying a charger. But at the same time I found out that my phone has very good battery life when sleeping. It never drains more than 3% over night (7-8 hours). So the problem is that the screen drains battery quite a lot. Also my phone gets really hot in the lower area of software buttons, is anybody else experiencing this?

Yep that overheating happens to me as well if I'm playing a game or something for 15 minutes or so... I read that that's a hardware issue with no fix :S...
And yep that's the same battery life I get... Which is very sad ... Really no way to use this phone as a work phone with the pathetic screen time -_-

Really no way to use this phone as a work phone with the pathetic screen time -_-
i agree with u it's really waste for sensation..

I only do that and the best I can get is 2.5 hours with a 1900mAh.

Its only a bad calibration charge to 100% drain it to 0 3-4 times once thats done it should be better if not try wiping battery stats ...

Can someone tell me why me battery life is so crap on HTC sensation. I'm using evo 3d battery which is 1730 mah.but what's annoying is that my brightness is set to auto and 15 second to turn the screen off but still my display is using more than 90%.

And change back to the Sensation battery, it's actually better than the 3Ds. The Evo guys are using the Sensation battery and getting about 2hrs more in back to back tests. Be happy you don't have a 3D. When I had mine, I got 2hrs hard use with 4G and 4hrs with 3g. I get 8hrs with my Sensation overclocked.

Well for starters, your screen was on for almost 2 hours straight and your signal wasn't very good for most of that. I can assume that since your screen was on for 2 hours straight you must have been using it or the screen would not have been on that long. Streaming a 2 hour movie on a not so great connection will eat your battery up almost completely, especially if you are using full brightness. Android phones in general are battery eaters. My Sensation battery life is actually a lot better than my Vibrant was so I'm happy. Buy a couple batteries on Ebay for 15 bucks or use Juice Defender. I use my phone pretty heavily and can make it through the day. I can get over 24 hours using Juice Defender.
Did You wipe battery stats after change battery?
Also tell us which ROM and Kernel You use now. I'm sure that 3/4 ROM's here are useless. I have ROM from new leak and have 0 issues, also with battery.
I got two Anker 1900mAh batteries and they made a reasonable improvement to my use.
Typically with full sync and okish signal I got about 1h40m of screen on time with about 14 hours off charger.
With Anker under the same daily use its between 2h to 3h screen on in the same period.
Also that means I now have three batteries.
Sorry to say but having owned a Motorola Milestone, Galaxy S, Nexus S and now Sensation I can simply say that the battery life on Android is crap in general for heavy users.
My girl has an iPhone 3G and 4, the screen on time is often over 6 hours which I put down to intimate development of software and hardware.
I am choosing flexibility over longevity for now.

It's the kernel that's in the version of the ROM you have.
Flash 3.6.5 XE and it'll fix the problem.
Also having Wifi on and using it for 2 hours straight will drain your battery.

WiFi uses less battery than a data connection, just fyi. WiFi does not cause drain.

Did you calibrate or change radios recently? You could have a defective battery(s) or maybe the kernel is causing excessive drain.
I noticed this issue too when I was using Sense-based ROMs before I switched to a CM7-based rom.
Been off battery for 9 hours and 9 minutes with 77% left - I've never seen battery life this great and I don't think I see myself going back to Sense any time soon for my HTC Sensation 4G.
I was very disapointed with how fast the stock HTC Sensation battery drained even with normal use, just like you.
I took the advise from some here and got the Anker battery from Ebay for 10.00.
The best thing I ever did.
WOW! Did it improve the battery life on the Sensation.
Now I do not have to worry about the battery draining down fast on me.
With the Anker battery, my phone lasts all day and into the night .

Battery drain

Hi I have HTC Sensation, and 1,5 ghz kernel, dar forest rom. And I calibrate battery, and I am after few cycles, becouse some says that after flashing new rom, u must wait a couple o cycle to battery to be good. And my battery last about 19 hour with about 3,5 hour screen on. Is it good or bad, and what can I do if its bad
Hi,
If you are using a data plan and sync data, try increasing the frequency interval or use manual sync. Saves Battery.
Good or bad?
But, how do you guys think is it good battery life, medium or bad?
Its average

I'd agree with average. One thing you can do is install 'CurrentWidget' from the Android market and place the widget on your homescreen. Change the refresh interval to 10 seconds, turn the screen off and then wait around a minute for the phone to settle. After a while, turn the screen on again and look at the reading the widget gives. It should be around 3-5mA (that's what I get on my HD2). If it isn't you may want to try turning off different wireless things and anything you think may cause high battery drain. Turning off background data is a MUST, you have to turn it back on to use the market but with background data off I get 3-5mA whilst with it on I get around 20mA. It doesn't stop you using data, just turns off some unnecessary syncing. Despite the pathetic 1230 mah battery in my HD2, I can easily use it for a whole school day (including music on the way to school and gaming for about 20 mins before registration) and have around 40% left by the end of the day. I charge it every night anyway but it's reassuring to know it can last me that extra day if I need it. Hope this helps
if somtimes play games, music... it's normal but if you sometimes call or sms it's not good
ok
Than what is good?

average like other said..if you dont do nothing but calls and sms and it lasts like that..that would be bad..more use=more battery drain.
Try using wifi as often as possible. Also 3g is a much better battery saver than using WiMAX. Also the Tiamat SBC 4.1.0 kernerl is amazing on saving battery life! And it even works with the ICS roms.
19 hours of battery life sounds reasonable to me considering that the sensation is a dual core phone.

Oh and by the way I've recently come across articles that actually say recalibrating (wiping battery stats) your battery doesn't actually do much.
I'd rather try to avoid over charging to prolong your battery life (pull out the charger as soon as it touches 100%) and try to use it til you're out of juice instead of constantly charging.

Battery drains has many situation, as little information you provide, it's hard to figure out how and what makes this happened.
Maybe you can check how many apps running on the background, or services still running while shouldn't run.
Or, tell you what, you also can flash your ROM to a stable one like ARHD's rom.
my 2 cents

I am using darkforest rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1423684 tell me why ARHD is better rom, I had it for 5 minutes, but shame that this rom dontt have such simple stuff as Stock % Battery, and advanced power menu and quick settings. Ho do you think why ARHD is better than dark forrest, what are the main differences?

Horrendous Battery Life

Running ARHD 6.5.3 XE...noticing the battery is horrendous. Went to sleep and battery was at 48%. When I woke up 7 hours later battery was at 4%. The phone was idle the whole night. This seems like crazy battery drain. I have nothing to compare to because I got the Sensation about 4 days ago and the second I got home with it it was rooted and ARHD XE ICS was installed onto it. My previous phone was the T-Mo G2x which had terrible battery but nowhere close to the drain I am seeing with the Sensation running ARHD 6.5.3 ICS with Sebastian kernel at 1.6 ghz. Using SetCPU with ondemand governor 192 min and 1.6 max. Screen off profile with 192 min and 1 ghz max. Any idea or suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
Seems excessive, you could try battery monitor widget pro and/or system tuner pro to see what processes are running and record the state of your phone e.g. wifi on, awake, GPS, data etc.
What are the percentages if you look in battery usage in settings?
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using xda premium
Maybe it's the cause of overclock. I use hypernonsense (great rom, too bad its discontinued), and it has pretty good battery life until I installed the overclock kernel. I still keep it because it's a lot faster.
Still, the battery shouldn't drain that much. I would try to remove the overclock to see if it's still that bad. If not much improvement, I would try to install another rom.
I don't want to make a new thread about battery life, can I ask here ?
Previously I was running on 6.5.3 XE w/ Seb 1.6Ghz.
Check out the screenshots,during that time wifi and data plan is on,auto-sync with 2 gmails,twitter,FB and weather.Does it sucks or is this normal ? I'm using stock battery.
You want that screen off profile to be much lower - I have mine at 300MHz powersave governor (that way it isn't constantly polling) with no noticable loss of responsivity when I switch the screen on. Then fully charge the battery and reset the battery stats from within ClockworkMod or 4ext
Also, I'd highly recommend JuiceDefender Ultimate - it's really customizeable for things like only activating 3G when screen is on or when in certain apps, then switches it on for a min every so often when the screen is off to check emails etc.
Hope that helps/makes sense!

If you haven't already, get SetCPU and create some profiles:
Screen off: 300Mhz governor powersave
I also have progressively lower clock speeds as the battery life diminishes.

We have the same issue since i bought my phone few months ago (I even try insertcoin and ARHD because of the problem, but no changes).
I've read through the forum and i think the culprit is the stock battery. I'm ordering Anker 1900mAh (it has good feeback) for replacement and i'll let you know if there's any differences.
Can no frills do profiles? I heard to use that with ARHD instead of SetCPU.
i use no frills, for me its the best cpu app, you just set your desired speed, and thats it. no fancy stuff just plain and simple..
Im also on ARHD 6.5.3 with overclocking to 1.6, governer is on demand... I can get between 36-48 hours on a full charge...
Screen is using a high proportion, turn the brightness down some if you haven't already. Mine is rarely more than about 15%.

if you have 4ext recovery you can go to the wipe settings an click on "wipe battery stats" but your battery has to be fully loaded.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I have done all of the above mentioned things but still getting very poor battery life. Are you guys using the Anker extended battery or stock?
i have the stock battery and i heard that the anker batteries are ****.
sometimes they just explode and i think the 200 mah more dont bring much more batterie life with it.

How long do you get on a full charge with stock battery? I actually just ordered an Anker =/ hope it's not ****...I'm running ARHD 6.5.4 with Bricked kernel 192 min with 1566 max using lagfree governor...battery life really leaves something to be desired...getting about 5 hours from 100% to 15% ...tried wiping batt stats and trying different profiles in SetCPU as well as underclocking. Any suggestions please throw them my way!!
Part of the problem IS because it is an Anker battery. I have heard many bad reviews about their batteries. Another issue is that most "extended" batteries really aren't any better than stock. A lot of times they are WORSE than stock batteries. If you tested the mA with a good digital meter I bet you would find between 1200-1400 on a full charge, with a supposedly 1900mAh battery. I hate to break it to everyone like this, but the only TRUE extended batteries you will find will be physically larger than stock. You can slap whatever damn label you want on a 1500mAh battery. Call it 3500mAh for all I care, you can't deny what it really is. A 1500mAh battery. You can't get more charge out of a battery unless it is physically larger that the original.
And I don't know about you guys, but I am skeptical about true extended batteries for the Sensation. The antenna contacts are on the battery cover! That means they would have to ship you a modified battery cover to fit the bigger battery. If they screw up one contact or don't put enough material on it from the factory, your sensation will be a signal-less paperweight.
Another thing I suggest is downloading BetterBatteryStats. If you have a bit of knowledge about how Android's OS works, you might be able to look at the Wakelocks section and see if something is preventing your device from entering Deep Sleep mode...the top four causes of battery drain are the screen, WiFi while on but not connected, GPS, and applications locking your device out of Deep Sleep.
Thanks for the reply. I am currently using the stock battery shipped with the phone. What do I check for in the app you mentioned to see if my phone is entering deep sleep?
I attached a screenshot of the wakelock section. Let me know if anything looks suspicious or if you need to see a different screen. Thanks!

Sorry, I tend to ramble on a bit
Best way to check would be to click the first drop down menu and look through Wakelocks and Kernel Wakelocks after your phone has been running for a bit. Start up the application for the first time, accept the changelog stuff, then close it out and lock your screen. 5-10 minutes later check that dropdown and see if anything says *Wakelock* by it. There should be a gauge under each item, it shows a percentage of time the process has been running since last boot, charge, or whatever option you pick in the second drop down menu. If any of the gauges are almost full or beyond 50%, there's the culprit.

Check my post above I posted 2 screens with kernel wakelocks from the dropdown and partial wakelocks...don't know what either means thank you for your help!
From that screenshot I don't see any major partial wakelocks. The HTC Facebook sync doesn't seem to be helping, but it isn't causing too much of a drain at the same time...try peeking through kernel wakelocks and see if anything stands out
Holy crap, CNT is what is doing it! The device has been running for a full hour and it has locked your device into Awake mode 100% of the time. I will do some research and see what role it plays.
Kernel wakelocks is just 100% to "No reference since charged yet"

MASSIVE Battery drain

I know this phone is known for having battery issues, but I wanted to know if my situation was normal.
70% in 10 hours of no use, sleeping overnight
Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?
Running Rubix 5.3 with a 192/192 governor when the screen is off
wifi is always on, even with screen off.
fancy widget updates location and weather via gps and wifi every 15 mins
brightness 100%
NO mobile data active (should save battery, no?)
[/LIST]
those are the most battery consuming things I can list about my phone
I do not charge my phone overnight as it's bad for your battery. But I have noticed a crazy battery drain even when I'm not using the phone.
After sleeping for 10 hours, my battery dropped from 100% down to 30%
This is the first out of FOUR different android phones I have owned that has appalling battery life. My G2 under the same setup would give me 20+ hours on a charge, with some moderate use

[Q] Worst battery life on Inspire

Hi all,
I have been facing a very high drain on my Inspire.
ROM:IceColdSandwich-8.1.AOKP
Kernel:2.6.35.14-LordmodUE-9.8.8-ICS-BFS
I even flashed KillerSLoth Scripthttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305236 LordModUV-Lite
I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226016&highlight=battery+calibration but still my stats doesn't look promising.
From 12:13 to 12:31 i.e., in 10min i face a battery drain of 20%. Is it expected behavior or i am just facing it.
BTW,In that 10min i was playing a game named Death Rally.
please see the attached file of my current widget log
can anyone please suggest me of how to gain good battery life.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance!!

hey sandy well a game like that will pull battery life I play a game called zombie smash and it pulls battery fast just cause the game,and games in generally but I would say best way to test your battery is just not play a game for a couple hours or w.e and see what it does. For me with a similar rom and kernel at 100% I use pandora or google music to play my songs for about an hour or so and with in that hour I would check facebook,send a text or even check xda and with all that my battery would drain about 10% but thats a lot of activity to drain so its damn good and when I leave for work ill listen to music with google music and be at work for 8 hrs and with some texting and facebook battery drains maybe 5-7% by the end of my day with all that activities I would have about aprox 75%
But,even on Idle hours i.e., from 22:00 to 07:00 the drop is from 82 to 64%.At this time the phone is just active on data network,is this reasonable..18% drop in 8 idle hours?

that's actually pretty decent. this phone has a very small battery in comparison to similar phones
Try [ROM][JULY 03][ICS 4.0.4] aospX 1.0.0-BR3 | IMM76L | Source | WIP
i had decent battery life with this ROM. i used to charge once a day.
Thanks,

Game play will drain battery. Its normal, it be different if you were losing that without using phone. Also try latest IceCold 8.2. Also as mentioned above our batteries suck.

upgraded to IceColdSandwich - 8.2 - AOKP and played the same game again for 10min.Guess what?
This time the battery drain is just 4%
Very pleased,
I think this is the problem with stability of rom's why coz i used to play this game from many days.It's only the other day that i had worst battery life.
May be while on Inspire i shouldn't complain about battery life.
I also observerd that,while charging my device after 81% it suddenly jumps to 100%.Is this natural or i am only facing this problem?
If you don't believe me,pls see the log file.
Same thing happened to me on another rom, from 94% to 100%. It is odd but the drainage seemed normal so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Keep in mind there will come a time the battery will stop working, it's called aging.

I Had this Problem too (same rom)
I switched to Android Revolution HD. It has fixed the problem so far...later i will switch backk (maybe) to see if this fixed it.
usually you have to delete the old battery stats and go through a drain and charge cycle for a couple of days to fix it.
What i did is i bought 2 extra batteries off amazon and i always have 2 fully charged. My system works out great because i pretty much have double battery life

OK I'm on MIUI v4 now.
To fix your problem you have to go get a battery calibration app from Google play. Most of the apps will ring when you have really reached the actual 100% charge. Then press the calibrate button. Unplug. And done.

Flashed a brand new ROM(Sabsa Prime v6.0) with wiping every thing,even wiped battery stats.But nothing changed to be honest.My battery doesn't give 1 day backup also.BTW,I do lot of chatting on whatsapp,is it why my battery life is bad?
