Hi there! I am a happy owner of a sensation, but i'm not verry happy with the batery life. My sensation doesn't stay alive more than 24 h with normal use with wi-fi and data moderate use. I have a friend with a samsung galaxy s 2, and he allways tell me that his phone can resist with same usege between 2-3 days. Is this posible? I had a lot of phones like xperia 10, optimus 2x, desire, optimis one, galaxy s1 and all of these batterys doesnt stay alive more than 16-18 hours. If this is true, i will sel my sensation and get a samsung galaxy s 2. Please..if you had galaxy s2 and sensation.. tell me...is such a big diference between batery lifes???

Yes there is and it is mainly due to power management.

Battery drain
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 this thread will help you fix anything you might be doing to cause the battery drain, it also depends on your rom and its setting, I basically live on my phone and get 30+ hours

I know that sometime our sensation gets hotter when used for highend gaming or while watching HD movies for long times. But my Sensation gets way too hot.. I mean scary hot.. it becomes almost dificult to hold in hands and feel as if its going to go BOOM!
i am on Hypernonsense 1.5 rom now, which btw is underclocked(1.08ghz) rom. Usualy ARHD roms(1.5ghz) makes my sensation hot even while surfing through internet. i found the hypersensation roms to be the best rom that keep my sensation cool.
the point is if dual core heats the hell out of phone whats the use of it? i mean i used to play same games on my single core android devices like galaxy tab and on my nexus s as well and they used to get hotter after hrs of usage. while my sensation starts gets hotter in like 5mins and by 15mins i have to quit gaming, because of the insanly increasing temprature...
is there any solution to this? i hope my sensation doesnt need micro-liquid-cooling kit! lolz.. Does usually all dual core devices behaves like this?

yes me too....one question...i have problems with mc3..it wont load on time compared to my desire hd on multiplayer and it hangs a lot...do you have the same problem...??
I would talk to HTC about it. They may be willing to help.
ROM?
Btw when you guys were playing games on your Sen, what rom were you guys on? I have never been on stock rom. The moment i got it, i started playing around different roms..
Since ARHD ROMs have OC GPU set up by default maybe it might be heating up the phone. Specially the bottom back side heats up as HELL!! Also the battry sucks up like 5%/min. I was playing Gun Bros Offline and my battry was about 30%, and after completing a few levels i.e. about 5/10mins of gaming the battry was 8%....
Man!! I feel my Galaxy TAB was like WAY better. I used to play about 4hrs with wifi and bluetooth on for whole day +emails and browsing for more then 3hrs.. and still i got about 20hrs battry time...
May be ICS can give me better perfomance, since its optimized for dual core phones....
Running cm7 my phone goes up to 115-120 degrees while game. Youtube or some web browsing heats it up to around 100+.

my sensation xe got 45C when playing any games....
not normal at all!
Mine was getting that hot and eventually started blinking the LED light orange and green, then I'd get an "overheating" message and the phone would reboot. I bought an Anker battery and haven't had the problem since.
Could be a battery defect or you could try underclocking the cpu.

That would probably solve it, I guess... I havent had the issue myself after I underclocked it... Then again, I'm running MIUI.
Good, thought that I ws the only one having heat issues. My sensation would heatup to 50 degrees celsuis when playing modern combat 3 or shadow gun, and when you go to system info, it says "overheat" on the battery status. I hope this is not a rom or kernel issue.

UC works!
I UC to 1.08 and it seems to get prettly less hotter now..!! also the gaming perfomance did decrease a bit.. a very less noticable...
There are two reasons why i bought the sensation xe against the sensation, first is the beats earphone and second is the higher clock. Now i need to underclock to below the clock specs of the basic sensation? Wwwwwwaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!! When i have the time i will to revert to stock and try if it will still heat up, luckily I still havent sold me desire hd.

I also have encounter overheating problem when using gingerbread rom. but after upgrading to ICS 4 with stock kernel, i have experience less overheating problem when playing game.
after upgrading to ics I had the same issue with oc kernel. Switched to stock kernel and no problems since.

same thing here. I got the same result on my mothers phone as well
What's the best rom batterywise for Sensation 4g? I'm currently on ExtremeSensation 1.01 and get about 15 hours moderate usage..thanks.
I've been using Virtuous Inquisition 3 and I get about 18 hours with moderate usage, I really like it because it doesn't use a lot of battery in stand by, like others.
Wish my phone matches this when I used it on VI, I got 6 hours before my phone died.

I agree, virtuous inquisition has really good battery life. I wake up at 6 and unplug the phone and when I go to bed at 10 I usually still have 30 to 40 percent left, at least.

I am using Android Revolution HD™ ROM (Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) + Sense UI 3.0 + Beats Audio (HTC stable) this give me like day or more http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14191938&postcount=1
Hey guys! I'm considering upgrading from my G2x b/c I'd really like to have official ICS and some better specs while I'm at it seeing as how I basically can trade by G2x for a Sensation b/c of their similar pricing. And now, my questions!
I know battery life is bad because of the great performance of the phone but just how bad is it? I'm somebody who would just browse the web in the morning for 20 min, send some texts and browse some forums throughout the day, and watch some videos and do a bit more browsing in the evening. Could I make it through a day without charging?
Any other general problems with the phone? Be HONEST. What's your biggest complaint about the phone besides battery?
I know you guys are gonna be getting a 'lite' version of Sense 4.0 but Google search didn't tell me much about what that means. Do you guys have a better idea about just how 'lite' it'll be?
And last of all, any idea if you guys will be getting CM9 or AOSP?
Thanks in advance!
Well battery is a usually good for me. I usually get about 12 -14 hours with the screen on for 2-3. Though I do have some days where it will be at 10% with just 7 hours of standby.
Complaints other than battery life? The dust that gets under the screen! It's my third sensation and it still has it. It's also tends to get very warm.
We do have CM9 and I was using it as a daily driver for about 2 weeks. But there are some issues like no LPA ( Low power audio ), some audio routing issues and a couple of minor Bluetooth bugs. I really miss it but no LPA a is a dealbreaker since I listen to to music a lot with my.phone so the battery drains more than it should with out it.

ok, and any idea if that's a problem that your devs can fix? Or is it a driver problem?

The heating ? Well some kernels do a better job at staying cool than others. But I think devs can only ameliorate the issue but not completely solve it.

ARHD and OrDroid rom are both excellent Rom, I use OrDroid from ARHD, OrDroid Rom is amazing, the lasted version has a good experience.

Hot...yes, overheat... no. Try slowing down your processor when playing games and go into developer options via setting ( can't remember if it's in ginger bread) and check force gpu. Also reduce the amount of apps running when your going to play games for a while. There isn't a fix for that but this should help.

try new bricked kernel. i had also over heat before. but now less. u can give a shot.
I put a ice cube under the phone while watching a movie, but i don't think you can do it on hardcore games like nova.

you can also turn off the capacitive button backlight. from my experience, the lit up buttons really heat the phone up a lot(only around the button area) while the rest of the phone is at normal temp including the battery.
turn off capacitive button backlight, just a thought
What bricked kernel DoD you flash that helped.

So I'm buying my brother a new device to replace his Xperia Go. My question is if the battery life of the Nexus 5 beats the Xperia Go by good margin or is it worse that the Go? He is a conservative user, so his Go can last 2 days without charge. I'm wondering if he can achieve the same for the Nexus 5?

I don't have a Go but I can tell you the Nexus 5 gets awesome battery life, regardless of what some reviews would lead you to believe. Look at this screencap, it speaks for itself. Aside from the talk and screen times, I was also streaming spotify for roughly 90 minutes.
