worse battery, but why?! - HTC Sensation

hey guys.
i have got a sensation xe, i bought it because of the headphones and the better battery. i thought, a better battery and underclocking the processor will give me a very good battery life. i bought it about 3 month ago.
but now, i have a very very bad battery life. no matters what rom or what kernel i am using, even undervoltage doesn't help. i wiped battery stats lots of times...
i'm on newest 3.33 firmware.
i really don't know, why battery life is so bad.
maybe my battery is bricked?!

do you have the stock HTC battery? whats the mAh of the battery when it is fully charged?

You might want to try a long lasting battery like Anker! It's made a huge difference for me! Get the new battery and adjust your settings to optimize your battery life. You will see what a difference that will make! It works well for me!! Best of luck!

Extended batterys are the way to go ! Ankers the best for its price

Anker 1900mA Battery

Guys, is it safe to use High capacity battery for my HTC Sensation??
You'll find a lot of threads in Accessoires-Section. But to shortly answer your question: I have one Anker with 1900mAH and I am really happy. Lasts much longer and it seems that recharging is faster, too. Measured time with stock battery and with anker and anker simply charged the same time (battery was at 1 %).
But: no correct temperature is shown. This you'll find on all replaycement batteries.
I got one too and can vouch for it as well. Its a great battery.

I'm considering picking this up so I don't always have to lug around my powerskin battery pack. But has anyone used this over a long period of time? If the battery's charge becomes the same as the stock battery over time then I don't see too much point of getting it.

Battery

Hi guys..I have an HTC sensation with vipers 1.3.0 Rom and faux kernel, but I have a problem with battery life..I charge my telephone 2 time in a day.. it's normal? Wich is the best rom&kernel combination for battery life?? Thanks!
Ps sorry for my bad English.

i think your battery is dying.did you try to use another battery to see if it happens the same?
about battery life it depends from the usage that you are doing,UV mods,how mauch cpu oc.
me personally i'm using sebastianFM's kernel and i have a nice battery life
with normal usage it holds 3-4 days
Hi there I agree you need a new battery. I just received my new battery about a week ago. It's been Amazing! With heavy use I stay on 100% for two hours! I can use it all day into late night, approximately 19 hours of HEAVY use and still be on 42% and the battery is not fully conditioned yet! I've tried many batteries, Anker chichitec, etc.. but none of them can compare to this one. It's the mugen 3500mah battery. If you're serious about battery life, this is the battery to get. I wish I'd got mine sooner but I was trying to save a few bucks. I realized in the long run its worth it to buy the better battery. Yes it's expensive but it's honestly worth every penny to have long lasting battery and not worry about charging through out the day any more! It comes with a replacement back cover to fit the battery. Not to worry the case fits precisely and I still get a strong H signal and navigation without a single problem. The phone will be thicker but it feels good in my hands and I don't mind it being thicker. I'll take a thicker phone with this battery life any day! I ordered straight from mugen site because there are counterfeit ones and I wanted to be sure what I was getting. It talks about two weeks and it arrives registered mail. I can't tell you enough what a HUGE difference this battery has made! I highly recommend this battery! I did save up for it because 100 dollars is a lot of money for me but I can honestly say this battery is worth every penny and more! My biggest complaint was battery life and I'd tried everything to make it last longer but it never really made a significant difference. I'm so glad I have this battery! If you're looking for an answer to the short battery life, this 3500mah battery is the answer!! I'm a customer for life now! I highly recommend you getting this battery! Especially since you are needing a new battery.you won't regret it for a second! I know I don't! ! Best wishes

Strange because when I used ARHD I still had the battery issue on my device...it still was draining faster than it should. Now I'm running viper with pydx stable2 kernel. I have a extended battery so battery life is awesome. I've discovered a better battery really makes the difference! Finally with the mugen 3500 mah battery my battery life is great! Before I got it I tried EVERYTHING to achieve better battery life. Nothing was significantly helping. Finally I learned its in the battery its self.once I changed that I no longer had the battery drain problem. Hope this helps.

Battery Draining Really Fast.

Hello,
I'm getting sick of my Sensation. I'm using the stock ICS rom with Sense 3.6. Radio:11.22 HBoot: 1.27.0000 With 2 Anker Batteries (1900mah). I just downloaded the battery monitor widget and I saw it was at -407ma!!! But it's dropped to around -161ma. I usually maybe if I'm lucky get 4 hours out of it? I really want to fix this. Tried many other roms but still the same. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Lachy

wiping battery stats will do no good..
What is your screen time? And do you make sure to turn off GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, and disable auto sync when you don't need them? You can also try flashing other roms and different kernels

I assume you're already rooted coz you mentioned that you've tried many other ROMs? Do let us know what kernel you're using and some details such as the governor, tweaks and OC speed that you're using. Perhaps you can start by installing CPU Spy from the Play Store and let's see whether it is reporting that your CPU is getting deep sleep when your phone is idle.

Hi you know what helped me? I got a different long lasting battery! Now I don't worry about battery drain any more. I bought one of the big boys a 3600mah battery. It solved my battery problem! I bought it from mugen. Finally, I can use my device without worry about the battery! Downside is it does make the phone thicker but with this battery life it's so worth it! 19 hours heavy use and still have 42% battery left! It's been awesome! So if your sick of the battery drain, I suggest you get a extended battery. It does the trick! No more constant charging! Best wishes

That much battery drain across different ROM's with 2 different batteries screams hardware problem to me.
Is the device getting REALLY hot? Even when idle?
I'm thinking there's a short somewhere that's causing the drain. I can't be positive without looking at the device, but usually you'll see that kind of battery problem fix itself with a new ROM or different battery.
It's also possible that you got bad batteries. Did you buy them from some random discount store on eBay? Those tend to be crap if you aren't getting them from a reputabel seller.
I agree with above post always buy your batteries from good seller like mugen

Anker 1900 it's enough for me, no problems with it.
Sent from my Sensation Elegancia 3.1 Sense 4 using xda app-developers app
Anker 1900 also works well for me... Using it for about a year now!
Im using the anker 1900 and the "GOLD" generic 2450 battery. They both preform the same. The gold one was only about 6 dollars? so im not that mad that it doesn't last longer than my anker
Anker
I switched to the Anker battery a few months ago. Definitely benefiting from the extra juice, I can't imagine how I'd feel about the stock battery anymore.

Haha true, Anker is much cheaper and much better. Who in htc made stupid decision to put that weak battery to Sensation?

i use mugen, i didnt like the anker because of the lack of a temp module which was a deal breaker for me. using the mugen for a year now, zero problems and amazing battery life. well worth the premium. if you can invest in a decent phone, invest in a decent battery and not some cheap stuff.
Sometimes cheap doesn't mean bad To be honest i didn't even heard about mugen hah maybe i'll try it.
Edit: which one are you using? 1950 or 3800?

I just bought the Anker. It's a bit better than my old stock battery, but I'm mildly unimpressed. I'm considering buying a power skin or a mugen. I hate charging my phone all the time.

I was using Anker also I'm trying mugen now.I'm using the big boy 3600 if you can get passed the thickness of the phone, the battery had been amazing !i did order one of those new backs with better signal and they're sending for free! So far mugen has been the best battery I've ever used. Battery drain was my biggest issue, now it seems my problem is solved with mugen.

If for no other reason than to have better battery life, get an Anker for dirt cheap. But for your usage, sounds like there's no need. Also, you'll have a spare battery. I just got this phone a little under six months ago, so I'll be keeping it for the next year or two until it's rendered completely obsolete. So having another battery is nice, yes.

For me yes its worth buying a new extended battery. I'm on payment plans for the sensation and it will be awhile before its paid off . AT only 20 dollars A Month it could take Awhile. What I usually do is buy my devices on payment plans then when they are paid off I start all over again with a new device. I know next device will be android of course but don't know what it will be. But for the time being I'm going to care for my sensation and get the best user experience possible out of it. Battery drain was making my life miserable so I did something about it and got a mugen battery. It solved my issues now I can enjoy my device again, so YES it's worth it to me! I still have time left with this device , might as well make it a better experience! Worth every penny!

Mugen is definately not cheaper than Anker. I would go for an Anker, but you might also consider underclocking/volting.
I would suggest wiping battery stats with cwmr to see if it solves the battery issue before buying a new battery
If it is then a battery issue, then go for an Anker battery as they are good quality batteries over the cheap Chinese ones...
