I'm in the market to dump this sensation. I've had it for a year now and the battery life is extremly poor. If you could upgrade to any available android phone, which would it be?
WHat phone has the best battery life right now?
Im tossed between galaxy s2 and the htc 1 s

Get a flip phone if you want battery life... No really, the s3 drops on the 21st...
The SGS3 is fantastic and gets around 5 hours of screen in time

Hello everyone,
I'm here today to see if i can get any recommendation on a new phone as i will be upgrading my Samsung Epic 4G around June.
As of right now I have been looking into Galaxy II phones as I have gotten really fond of Samsung phones over iPhones.
I would like a keyboard but i can go without(if the phone supports swype though).
If possible a phone with a longer life as my phone dies very fast(only reason I'm leaning to a 4GS).
It has flexibility as in modding.
Overall i would like a fast phone and please no HTC phones.

Check out the Asus Padfone. LTE model should come out close to when you can upgrade.

I suggest you look at the cpu that comes with the phone, normally all your battery life goes there.

(Standby time vs Usage time)
And keep in mind that iphone standby battery drain is relatively same regardless on how many apps is installed.
Not for the case for android, thus you might prefer a cpu that can switch to low power mode when on standby, else you would need to rely on expanded battery.
Droid Razr Max. You will freaking love it. Battery life is amazing and if you use smart actions app that comes with the phone you will be amazed by the battery life.
Hello, we used to have the iPhone 3gs phones but now skyrockets, once u root them and run the custom rooms u find here they are fast have great battery life lots of storage and can do everything!

Hey guys! I might be getting this phone, need some input from first person users!
Firstly, i can get one of these for approx 300-400 and its about the same price as what a lot of people are asking for the Samsung Galaxy S 2 (SGH-T989) i find this to be rediculous. Every review ive read/watched raved about the One S. Well i want some personal input i personally think its worth buying the one S at that price then the SGS2 at the same price. But i have a couple concerns with HTC......
Ive had two HTC phones
HTC Touch Pro 2 (RhodiumW)
HTC HD2
And the HD2 gets HORRIBLE service where my TP2 got plenty of service both on T-Mobile..
So im hoping its just my HD2 and not HTC's in general. However i have had someone with the HD7 say he loses service when holding the device. I know the HD2 and HD7 both have the antenneas in the bottom of the device. (Dumb if you ask me) hows the HTC One S with this situation? Does it still get great service while holding it? Like my HD2 could have full bars, but if i begin to use it it goes to NO service -.-
Thanks all for your input!
The One S of a great device,great build quality, nice feel in the hand, excellent camera, but I had several issues that led me to switch to my current GS3. With my time with the One S, I encountered random signal loss, & poor battery life. I would use the data network & it would drop from full bars to none then climb to 2 then back full. As for battery life I would get 2 & half hours of screen on time. What I disliked the most the pitiful 9.93GB of storage. & that is my two cents.

Well the signal loss seems due to software not hardware (A plus for me) and i dont think any phone will get decent battery life without an extended battery. lI dont judge phones by battery life anymore. lol. My HD2 has a 1250 Mah battery xD

My GS3 has solid signal, & it's 2100 mah battery runs great all day if you don't mind the limited space and "decent" battery life then go for it, it is the slimmest of phones I've owned plus it has a sweet camera
I'm waiting for a new phone to arrive and I may sell my Thunderbolt so.... I un-rooted and installed the stock ROM and let it update.
Really ODD results:
I'm getting the best battery life I've EVER had with any ROM. I've run several ICS ROMs and they all had the usual poor battery life but I've also run several GB sense, de-sensed and no-sense ROMs, all with poorer battery life than I have now, go figure?????
If it wasn't for the HUGE amount of useless crap VZW puts on a phone I'd probably have been happy w/o rooting the T'bolt...
I'd like to thank all the devs for the very good ROMs I've used, I'm hoping to see some of you over in the Samsung Galaxy SIII forum as I know I'll have to de-bloat the critter when it arrives.
NOTE: I ran my T'bolt almost two full days before I rooted it, I wonder if I can beat that record with the SIII?
I think your s3 is going to get about the same battery life as the bolt. I've used my niece's s3 quite a bit and it seems to lose battery almost as fast as my bolt does. Either way I don't think it's going to be much better.

I plan on doing the same as I do with the T'Bolt. Get a charging dock with a place for a spare battery and switch batteries around 5 - 6 PM each day.
However, if the SIII give the same battery life as the T'bolt does now with the stock ROM I'll not need to do that, I turned on at 7 AM Tuesday morning and had 40% battery at 10:30 PM. It's NEVER done more than 12 hours with any other ROM, wondering if the last VZW update had something to help battery life? Who knows....
OK, days later plus one trip of several days and.... the battery life on the S3 is a little better than the T'Bolt. I'm getting a low battery warning maybe once a week or so. I usually take it off the charger at 7AM and hit the sack around 11PM, only VERY unusual use will trigger the low battery warning, otherwise I go to bed with maybe 25% remaining.
I consider it adequate, I'd like better but....
Just wanted to see what you current sensation users who are planning on upgrading this year have in mind. I'm thinking about either the s5 or m8, but leaning more towards the s5 for the removable battery, camera, and lighter weight. I haven't had the chance to play wit either one, but those are my thoughts right now. I've been a sense user since forever, but would like to try out touchwiz despite all the bad things i heard about it (heard it may have improved in the s5). Would love to hear peoples thoughts. Thanks

I want M8 but 4mp camera is a deal breaker for me
at first I thought HTC would use 12 mp:laugh: (with ultrapixels )
So I will stay with my XE this year even its volume key is a little bit loose

you are expecting too much from HTC
I upgraded my sensation in February to the One (M7), however I still cannot put my sensation down for a minute... The development is far too good on this device to forget about it...
For me a large screen and good battery life with Acer Liquid S2 ^^
My Sensation cant be drop ^^

I'm thinking about buying in near future old HTC one m7 but the only thing that stops me is the non removable battery ( what after wearing out).. :/ , what do you think about battery life compare to htc sensation..?

I never had an issue with battery life on the sensation. I still use the original battery came with the phone and doesn't matter what rom I use, can squeeze at least 24 hours out of it. However I have to admit I have always drained the battery down to 4-5% and charged it back to 100% without a cut. (That might have helped to optimize the battery?) I experience the same with the One. Excellent battery life, 1.5-2 days with general use and some games. Although if I don't use 3g, it is off. I have no issues with non removable batteries, I think the are made to last. And I do the same with this, drain it till 4-5% and charge it back to 100%.

There's a rumor that there will be the HTC Butterfly S's successor (13mp)
Maybe it'll be my next phone

What provider are you with (if any)?
I can appreciate a long-lasting battery better than most. In November I got jumped, beat up, and stabbed in the gut. Spent the night in the hospital, and only the huge 3300mAh battery in my Droid Razr Maxx kept me in touch with my family and friends that could help me. My current phone doesn't have a big battery, but I carry a spare.
so any of the top phone you can recommend?
