I don't think so unless a custom ROM has changed the setting.

It would be a value somewhere that could be changed but will require some digging around and probably root access.
Perhaps the limitation is built into the camera app itself. Does this limitation occur with any 3rd party camera app?
This limitation has been the same for all HTC phones released in the last 12 months or so. My old Desire HD used to do the same thing when the battery was "low".
it is pretty annoying, im sure a developer will find it soon, just needs a little digging around like jivemaster said.
Yeah, it is annoying. Gotta have your battery charged in case you go out at night I guess.
oh alright then
It is very annoying for me also. I usually go out for half hour and have 30-40% battery charged so mostly it goes below 30% and not having falsh enabled is a big mess. Since I am a photography lover & I love to capture precious moments. Someone should come up with with a way around.

Any Solutions Yet
Have you tried disabling power saver?
i always have it disabled
I had same problem. Solution for me was upgrading to latest ROM (2.3.4 ->1.45.401.2 ) ofcourse original, HTC ROM, because I bought this phone for sense 3.0 (i don't know why people write new ROM without sense and say ... My ROM is better... There is something wrong with them...I think.. ...
huh..

Flash a custom kernel. I know faux's kernel's have lowered the limit to 10%.
Controlled by the kernel.
Some custom kernels lower the threshold (as long as power saver is off).
Check the Sensation Development section and read up on kernels.
Faux and Bricked both offer lower thresholds, I believe. Check Unity as well.
The features and changelogs will be in first or second post of Kernel thread.
P.
I think it is great idea! What if you got ALOT of stuff to backup, and flash at the same time, and suddenly the battery runs out.. Think about that.
I'm new to the inspire and I was wondering which rom and kernel set up would give the longest battery life I came from the atrix and battery was great cause the battery was huge lol but every rom i've tried has been giving me 9 hours at the most with moderate usage. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?

Any. Just choose. If you don't like that one, try another. You can also flash roms from the desire HD thread too. But you will need to flash a sound fix

No one is gonna be able to tell you what works best for your device. Flash some roms and test them out. Each device and set up is different. A search would have told you this.

Sorry to hear about your HTC Desire Z, that's annoying. When you get your confidence back I'd recommend trying HyperSensation http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302969
It doesn't overclock the CPU (as standard) and there really is no need to do so, I run it using a slightly tweaked (lower screen off max and lower minimums for both) version of the settings in post #3 (with bricked kernel)

Thanks for your post

There is a lot of things that can brick your phone. Not only the kernel.
I would recommended the Rom posted above (and in my sig). I have like 20 hours battery time, with moderate use. If you flash a new kernel, you can underclock, and maybe get more battery time. You really dont need ~1200 MHz on some roms, if you don't play a lot of games and so.

Honestly, I don't see why or how wifi tethering could in any possible way brick your phone, since it's a given option from the factory.. I mean I'm still new to the HTC phones so I could be wrong, but I highly doubt that tethering is one or if any a reason why you bricked your other phone.

I have tried all HyperSensation versions since 0.2 and can prove that it's lightning fast even being reduced to 800MHz maximum. Everything works great, except CSipSimple which plays no sound with it.
Without CSipSimple I've got about 60 hours of life on batteries with about 20 hours of wifi-connection, 6 hours of playing mp3's and about 40 minutes of phone-calls.
BTW, SIP-callers somehow interfere with phone.android app with fatal errors and force close events while trying to make a call. With ARHD I do not notice such behavior.

For those who have tried the recently released ICS rom made for this phone. Is the phone faster with ICS? Does it live longer on a full charge?
My Sensation dies after using it for 9-10 hours after a full charge using the latest official rom.

I didn't find much speed increase on virtually all sense ics roms, currently using closest to AOSP - virtuous. They are in fact all laggy to say the least but good enough to be a daily driver. However, battery life is definitely better. I also recommend juice defender app for improved battery.
Waiting for pure AOSP....

Yes, I agree a tad bit laggy, improved battery.... A little bit.
But the main improvements are with the UI and the new gapps. I find all the new interface tweaks are really useful, like multi user sign in directly from a pop up in the browser when you log in online, or being able to put a slick folder on the app launcher bar, or the new gmail app .....
So maybe not for a speed deamon... But go through the available tweaks.... Get the 2nd CPU online and try it, it works very nicely. Personally using ARHD and find it a very usable day to day ics ROM.

the first one and it's running great...
Day 1 report on ICS (Virtuous v1.3.0 ICS) - after 4 hrs, I'm only down to 92% on battery.
Previously I was running CM7.1/alpha10 (GB) and the battery-life was aweful (It was an alpha, I know, I accepted that). After 4 hrs on that ROM, tho, I would have been down to 75% typically.
I'm a bit unimpressed with this phone, (Sensation XE) Sense crashes often when you press the home button and goes through the process of re springing etc, If I hold the phone at the bottom cell signal disappears, if I hold it at the top wifi disappears, battery life is poor, it struggles to last a day and in general use for a phone with 1.5ghz dual core process and 768mb ram it feels sluggish for some reason, RAM is also almost full all the time even when I kill everything. I get the impression is can't handle sense 3.6, My old Desire felt much quicker, and the SGS2 blows this out of the water. I am not rooted or anything at the moment, just running ICS and 3.6, It shipped with ICS so don't know what GB was like on this device. In quadrant I can't even get 2000, most I have seen is 1900, my SGS2 gets 3200+
Would a rom make this phone better or is eBay the best option.
Fot real. Stock ICS is pretty rubbish. Stick an Anker innit and load up ARHD. If u get rid of Sense it will free up RAM. ARHD also have pption when installing to keep Launcher in Memory if RAM is maxed out.
Load up Faux, SebastianFM or, my fav, Bricked kernel to get optimized CPU processing.
This should make ur phone twice better.
Beamed from my Senny..
Stock can be a nightmare sometimes. Let it be known a few things though:
1) A new rom won't help your reception issues. Sorry
2) Quadrant scores do not reflect real-world performance and should be ignored. My Senny's faster than my friend's GNex (AOKP) and my other friend's SGSII (Stock) but the quadrant scores say otherwise.
3) The Sense launcher dying thing is always fixed when installing a custom rom. It comes from carriers (and HTC) bloating up the OS too much and the launcher being killed to keep room for applications open. Most custom roms will force the launcher in the memory, circumventing the issue.
That being said, "root it, flash it, enjoy it".
Yes! My crashing stopped never to return again after I rooted s off and installed custom rom. I am totally convinced that custom Roms can be far more stable than stock Roms! Never have I once had the restarting issue on custom rom. You will see the difference immediately.

i couldn't go back to sense.
I'm going to be the one to go against the grain here...
If you don't like a device to begin with then I don't think a new rom will make you love it. You may find it tolerable, but in the end you will most likely be dissapointed overall.
You're best off finding a device that you really like, and then improving upon it...
Grogg is likely correct, if you don't like it now, you'll probably still be unhappy with whatever you do to it. Best to sell it and get something that makes You happy. Everyone is different with different opinions and tastes . As for me, I LOVE my device and truly enjoy modifying it in different ways. I'm very interested in this kind of thing but others might see that differently.so yes It's best just to find something you like. Good luck and hope you find something your happy with!

Ok thought I would update this, I spent the weekend making it S-OFF and installing ORDroid 9.
The phone still feels like its struggling, Quadrant only shows slightly over 2000, the Desire HD gets higher and its single core.
WiFi reception now seems a bit better, but cell reception is still very poor, No signal most of the time at home, most other phones I've had give 2 bars min.
And battery life is still shockingly bad, 10% per hour in stand by, and in 10 mins setting it up etc I lost 10%.
Not sure what to try now, I think Sense 3.6/4 may be a factor here. The phone struggles with it.
Strange because here is my last quardent test on ordroid as you can see its in the 4,000's what kernel are you running? I'm using same Rom and look at my score? You say you scored a 2,000? This is the same Rom but twice the score? Perhaps it's the kernel? I'm running bricked kernel.no problems here in fact I'm number two in the quadrant. Not bad... [ ATTACH]1136354[/ATTACH]

Don't know what Kernel I have, I didn't change anything so just whatever came with Ordroid as standard
During installation we had choices on the Aroma installer also it asked what your goal is like performance, battery saver, ext.next time during install pay close attention to what Aroma is asking you because. It gives the ability to under or over clock ext. I just used default but I choose "bad ass " bricked kernel
Aroma gives lots of options during install and you can focus on performance if you like. Hope this helps out. If you want to reinstall you can really look at the options closely and change it to help the performance. Best of luck! Have a great day!

While OrDroid is a good and stable rom, it's not exactly the epitome of speed, no Sense 4 rom is. I recommend AOSP/CM9/AOKP if you're looking for speed.
