Very short battery life - HTC Sensation

Hi guys, I have sensation xe with elegancia rom sense 3.6 and sebastiqn kernel 1.5.2.
Stock battery 1730mah.
My battery life are very short, I need to charge the device 2-3 times a day.
When I'm not using the phone, screen off and no running apps I'm losing almost 10% per hour.
Any solutions instead of buying new battery?

I suspect something is keeping your phone awake. Mind if you post your battery graph?

Yep, check wich application is draining your battery under Settings -> Alimentation -> Use
And to improve your battery life, disable wifi/3G if not used.

I suspect its the google chrome, I used it for maybe 5 minutes today and it says that it used 5% battery, is that reasonble? Cuz there is another app that used 5% and I used it much more than chrome.

Thats might be something with the kernel? Maybe something wrong with the power managment?

Also try an other kernel, or if your battery life was good with olders Sebastian's kernels, keep using them.

I has very bad battery-Life Ehen using arhd. I then flashed faux Kernel.
If Sebastian-Kernel allows it, try to stay @ stock CPU-clock, and try undervoltage
I use 1.2 GHz, and - 50mV
Maybe this helps you

The problem with a question like this is that battery life is completely subjective to what you actually do with your phone. What is good for someone might be crap for someone else.
You just have to give them a try and see what works for you

There is no best kernel, only one that is best for you may not be best for somebody else.
Try faux or bricked and to save battery life, get something like system tuner pro from market. Undervolt and underclock the CPU then change its governor to maybe conservative for screen on and power save for screen off. Also in screen off mode change the max frequency of the CPU to a low value

I use mike 1986 ics battery life is great but each person has there own choices.

I decided to go with Baked and it works great for me. Battery is pretty good considering I keep my brightness on high and Overclocked to 1.56Ghz

What could be causing these problems?

A few days ago I started getting random reboots and a bit more lag than usually. I thought maybe it was because of UV (-87.5) so I changed it to -50, but it didn't help. The reboots happen two-three times a day usually a second after turning the screen on. Also the lag is getting a bit annoying, it is noticible even when scrolling through the screens. It was better a while ago.
What could be causing such a problem? I am running android 4.0.3 rooted and unlocked S-OFF Elegancia Rom Sense 3.6. more info in attachments.
Also, I recently installed Dualcore Badass Tweaks By Iba21 CPU 384~1566 badass gov an Bricked kernel was installed earlier with 192 mghz min 1566 mhz max, max scrennoff 486, could this mean something?
Any help appreciated.
Have you tried changing your kernel yet? Try changing your kernel and see if the problem persists. Also check battery make sure it has no "wiggle" to it in the housing. If it does wiggle, stabilize it with a piece of paper. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

No, I didn't try changing the kernel yet. Will try it right away. The battery holds firmly, no wiggle whatsoever. Could this have to do anything with the governor changing when going to screen on?

thats fine ..the ram its showing is usable ram thats all
and yes ..after soff if you have unlocked hboot then the number shows 1.27.1111(juopunutbear hboot) and its not a problem
So I changed the kernel from bricked to faux123 192~1.51 cpu. Everything looked ok, but yesterday I got 2 reboots, both when taking a photo, what else could be a problem?
Have you checked to see if battery is loose ? If it has some wiggle this could be causing the reboots. If you find a wiggle put a small wedge of paper to stabilize the battery. Also make sure you're not under or over volted right now, this could be the cause too. For right now while your figuring this out don't under or over volt and see what happens. Try those two suggestions and hopefully the issue will resolve.

No, the battery seems ok. My cpu is currently undervolted by 50 mv,.but it was working fine even on -87.5. Will delete uv and report back.

[Q] random reboots.!

Hi,
I was previously on Bruce pyramid it was working fine den I flashed vipers rom complete wipe n very next day full wipe and back to the sensation xe rom
I m having random reboots
When I turn on the screen
Back light buttons turns on anv display stays off and no response from screen and it just restart
any advice?
What can b the cause?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk 2
Several things can cause the random reboots. First are you over or under volted? If yes adjust CPU. Second check battery in casing and see if it has any wiggle at all. If yes wedge a small piece of paper on top of the battery to secure the battery. Third try to reinstall rom doing a full wipe, could be a bad flash. If it's still rebooting try another rom to experiment to see if issue lies in the rom it's self. If the issue is gone with another rom then you know the issue is rom related. If the issue is still present with new rom chances are it's device related. Possibly loose battery. Give those things a try to trouble shoot and see if any of this helps. Best wishes. Hopefully one of these options will solve the issue.

It might be a too low 'off screen Max cpu' settings, and also too 'extreme' LMK settings.
Better if you post complete configuration.

Agree with Raven. Sounds like too low screen off frequency.. Check the value of Screen off frequency.
And are you using the latest firmware?
One more thing to check if you are still on ViperS, have you granted Super user permissions to Venom Tweaks?

Hi,
Try using faux with intellidemand governor.
What are you normally doing when your phone gets hot?
I'm normally on YouTube and the battery drains quick the CPU temp stays at 48 degrees crlicus
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
I always found I'd get random reboots and overheating with my phone, no matter the ROM. So I underclocked it, which actually seemed to make things worse. What actually solved the problem was securing the battery with something like a piece of card. Seems that a lot of Sensations had batteries which didn't quite contact the battery correctly, so when it needed a large spike in power (waking, opening apps, some transitions etc) it'd shut off to prevent a power surge. You might want to see if it makes a difference. You'd think with such a high quality design and materials they'd get the basics right....

Up to 70°C-75° is safe and normal when gaming; if you go above that (ex: near 100°C) then the SOC can be permanently damaged.
