Hi, my girlfriend have an HTC sensation, running stock rom, no root, not unlocked boot loader.
But the battery suddenly drain? I can not see why. The strange thing is that the battery gets even worse, when we travel out of the country? I have changed the battery, but that didn't help much. Do anyone experienced this issue? Or have a fix. It's running 4.0.x firmware
maybe some apps that are running in the background causes that.if some apps are unnecessary uninstall them(if you want)
also if the brightness is too high try to lower it
Also try turning off data when not in use

I've checked if there is any running apps, and we live in good gsm areas. She is not a heavy data user, and turn it off when she is not using it. The strange thing is that, when we go to sleep, she can have 80%, but in the morning it's dead. She don't wanna root, so I can not install juice defender.
any suggestions?

how about the auto sync function? are there any apps that are syncing? (facebook, google, mail, htc sense, etc.) are you using a stock HTC battery or an aftermarket? you sure there arent any rogue apps running in the background? lol sorry for all the questions, just tryin to help out

Try a factory reset. Maybe you have to many apps installed that have auto-sync. If that doesn't help just buy a new battery
Hi there , I have a suggestion that does not require root . Purchase a extended life battery for her and get rid of the stock battery! I have done this and its made a huge difference in my battery life . My. Stock battery was so poor that I found myself having to recharge every three hours! I had enough! I broke down and purchased a extended life battery and it had made a world of difference to me! I use Anker battery but recently ordered a Mugen for even longer battery life. The Anker battery costs around 20 dollars and the mugen battery costs around 80 dollars. It just depends on what your wanting . The Anker had been a great battery but I'm looking to get a couple days without charging thus I bought the mugan for trips etc. In your case the Anker battery will serve your girlfriend well. Do all the tips given to you in above statements and purchase the Anker and she should not have any more trouble. You can purchase Anker on amazon.com. I really hope this helps and you won't regret buying it. It really works well. Best wishes to you both.

Juice defender does not require root. Some functions of the app maybe, but the standard "data off while screen off" works just fine without it.
I have found poor signal areas are a killer for battery too. you may have constant reception but if it keeps switching from 3g to 2g, this also runs battery down as it's constantly switching signal towers, looking for the 3g reception. Try switching to 2g or 3g networks only. This helps conserve battery in good service areas (in my experience anyway) and may help.
I would seriously recommend rooting though. It allows for a wider range of diagnostic measures and possible fixes to her issues. Also a variety of ROMS out for our devices offer far better battery life than the stock ROM as standard.

There are a lot of battery threads out there, but i wanted to try something new. I want to see how much our phones drain in real world situations. So here are the rules:
1. Use your phone normally for ten minutes.
2. Note your battery percent at the beginning and then at the end.
3. Post details about what you did, what ROM you're using, and the percent battery drain.
Hopefully we can compare our experiences and learn something.
I used my phone to surf a few websites, send one text, and use xda app. Started at 80% and ended at 77%. Using rcmix3d at 50% brightness.
I know there are tons of factors that affect battery drain, and I'm not trying to be scientific. I'm just curious how we all compare!

The only way you will get a decent idea is to test with others in your area as it will depend alot in signal strength. I would use more battery if I was bouncing between signals instead of having a steady connection.

Screen-on time is the only thing I ever look at. I've only managed to squeeze about 5h45m, out the sense-based gb ROM I've been using.
The phone does really well in standby on most if not all roms that have been flashed properly, don't have non-rom-related battery hogging app issues, and, as zelendel mentioned, signal issues.
It's this big fat screen that's obviously the biggest battery sucker.

My phone does great in standby as well, but seems to die quick when I'm actually using it. I've never had an issue with the phone dying on me though as I recharge every night. I think i had a little better battery life on miui than I'm getting now.
I know there are many many factors that go into battery performance, I'm just curious what other people actually get when using their phones.

I've gotten accustomed to putting my phone on the charger before bed as well. Mine pretty much will last the entire day... Off charger at ~8-9am, back on it at ~12am.
Averaging about 5 hrs screen on time with usually no voice calls of significant length, WiFi on, gps off, relatively stable signal.
I'm running Inspired Ace 1.0.1, and the 04.11_M2 radio. Seems I was getting a little better with the OTA radio, but signal fluctuated a lot more on that one, than with the 04.11_M2.
Edit: doesn't really use your testing procedure, just more of a general feeling, as there's so many other contributing factors...
10 minutes of on-line gaming (storm8 games) = 10% drain

Holly crap that's a heavy drain. I couldn't possibly use this phone with that type.of battery drain. Thanks to our great dews I managed a little over 7h screen on time. Could only accomplish that by reducing the screen brightness and UC to 768mhz. Stick speed and auto brightness I get about 6-6 1/2 screen on.

My battery will drain about 5% if I even just leave it sitting for ten minutes... I JUST rooted my Inspire and flashed the RCMix3D ROM, and it almost seems worse. Have background data, auto sync, wifi, gps, bluetooth, all that stuff shut off, too. I love this rom, but really want to find one that improves battery life!

You probably got a bad flash, or have something else running, as I mentioned in your recent thread.
Did you full wipe prior to flashing?
Try out gingerbeast, if you still have battery issues with that, after properly wiping prior to flashing of course, then it's hardware, as that ROM has produced some record-breaking battery life performance.
Mine has twice decided to randomly have days where it just drains like crazy. The battery is a lot warmer and just dies out in like 6 hours with very minimal usage. the majority of the time my battery is great but the last 2 days and then about a month ago it did this. No reason for it either, I have made no changes on my device.
Anybody seen this?

Yeah I did a full wipe before flashing. I'll be sure and try that out tomorrow, I really hope it helps. If the issue is hardware, should I contact HTC? After I believe you said my phone should still be under warranty, I called them, and indeed it is. The rep I had before must have been new or something. Thanks
From a full charge, on TPGB with wifi, gps, and sync on, and everything refreshed 3-4hrs, I lasted about 8 hours. I was using super accurate gps for 20 minute intervals or so, but it lasted the day I'd say. Some occasional web browsing.
Lucky for me my head unit on my car has a usb port. For this whole trip I left it off though.

And change back to the Sensation battery, it's actually better than the 3Ds. The Evo guys are using the Sensation battery and getting about 2hrs more in back to back tests. Be happy you don't have a 3D. When I had mine, I got 2hrs hard use with 4G and 4hrs with 3g. I get 8hrs with my Sensation overclocked.

Well for starters, your screen was on for almost 2 hours straight and your signal wasn't very good for most of that. I can assume that since your screen was on for 2 hours straight you must have been using it or the screen would not have been on that long. Streaming a 2 hour movie on a not so great connection will eat your battery up almost completely, especially if you are using full brightness. Android phones in general are battery eaters. My Sensation battery life is actually a lot better than my Vibrant was so I'm happy. Buy a couple batteries on Ebay for 15 bucks or use Juice Defender. I use my phone pretty heavily and can make it through the day. I can get over 24 hours using Juice Defender.
Did You wipe battery stats after change battery?
Also tell us which ROM and Kernel You use now. I'm sure that 3/4 ROM's here are useless. I have ROM from new leak and have 0 issues, also with battery.
I got two Anker 1900mAh batteries and they made a reasonable improvement to my use.
Typically with full sync and okish signal I got about 1h40m of screen on time with about 14 hours off charger.
With Anker under the same daily use its between 2h to 3h screen on in the same period.
Also that means I now have three batteries.
Sorry to say but having owned a Motorola Milestone, Galaxy S, Nexus S and now Sensation I can simply say that the battery life on Android is crap in general for heavy users.
My girl has an iPhone 3G and 4, the screen on time is often over 6 hours which I put down to intimate development of software and hardware.
I am choosing flexibility over longevity for now.

It's the kernel that's in the version of the ROM you have.
Flash 3.6.5 XE and it'll fix the problem.
Also having Wifi on and using it for 2 hours straight will drain your battery.

Did you calibrate or change radios recently? You could have a defective battery(s) or maybe the kernel is causing excessive drain.
I noticed this issue too when I was using Sense-based ROMs before I switched to a CM7-based rom.
Been off battery for 9 hours and 9 minutes with 77% left - I've never seen battery life this great and I don't think I see myself going back to Sense any time soon for my HTC Sensation 4G.
I was very disapointed with how fast the stock HTC Sensation battery drained even with normal use, just like you.
I took the advise from some here and got the Anker battery from Ebay for 10.00.
The best thing I ever did.
WOW! Did it improve the battery life on the Sensation.
Now I do not have to worry about the battery draining down fast on me.
With the Anker battery, my phone lasts all day and into the night .

Probably it's time to try this! extended battery can be a solution.
I was wondering what kind of battery life everyone is getting. I am down to 35 percent and I have only been off the charger for 6 hours. I sent maybe 10 texts checked facebook twice and played cut the rope for 10 minutes.
I unlocked the phone using ACE hack kit and I am not running the CM nightly that I found here: http://iloveabath.co.uk/CM7-Unofficial/ plus the inspiremod 5.0 patch. Also I cant figure out how to get to fastboot to figure out what radio I am running. Im running on T-Mobile in the DC area. I just got the Inspire so any tips and tricks I might not know about would be great.
Thanks!
For starters HTC ace phones don't have the best battery life to begin with because of the sync functions. Cm7 is a great rom but it only adds to the battery issue.
There are serveral apps,flashes and mods to the boot.prop file thar will help extend battery life. Do some leg work and Use the search to find these. I suggest googleing calibrate battery and battery drain on htc inspire/dhd. This issue has been covered repeatedly. And the mods and users don't care for the clutter of repeat posts
Last suggestion. Use the notification bar to turn off functions when you don't use them. Ie.... wifi, Bluetooth, GPS and turn your screen brightness down.
Also unsync Facebook, Google + and drop your email retreave function down from every 15min to several hours or not at all. (You can still get email this way by opening app)
This is about all the advise I can give you the rest is up to you and doing some reading.
I did all of these and I get about 14 hours of heavy ussage.
As far as finding your radio. Download and open this app. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=608910&d=1306506748

??? They have an Inspire, not an Ace.
Your battery definitely shouldn't be draining like that with that amount of use. Maybe try one of the current tracking apps to see what's using all your power.
Battery life depends largely on how you use it. Screen on uses about 80% of your battery. The more time it sits idle, the longer it goes on battery. I can get a whole day out of mine on a typical day with about 2 hours talking and a little fiddling with the phone. I also use wi-fi whenever possible because the wi-fi radio uses less power than the cellular data connection. If you're running dead after 6 hours I am willing to bet you are spending a lot of time using the phone. Try setting the brightness on the screen dimmer.

My biggest problem is that I want to use my phone without worrying about the
battery going dead, when I mean use my phone, I am talking about games, Internet,
and watching videos, stuff that requires the screen, the problem is that I cant use
the phone like that, at best with the screen on 100% of the time you might get 3 to 4
hours of battery life before the phone is dead, just using it as a phone the battery life
is enough, but if I just wanted a phone, I would have got something cheaper, there are a
few ways to deal with this, the same ways that I used when dealing with PDAs
in the past, -BTW PDAs had about the same battery life as this phone,- I had to
keep mutable chargers handy, one in my my car, one in the house, one in my travel
bag, and keep external battery packs to charge the PDA, I hate to do that, it seems
silly, even more so when the battery life is no better then way back in the early
2000s.
People have to start looking at today's smartphones as "pocket laptops". I've been saying this for a while. Battery size and capacity go hand in hand. You can't have a thin, light mini-computer and expect it to last for days on one charge like the old phones. There are many options to be sure you don't run out of power. Powerskin, seperate power pack, extra chargers for wherever you spend your time, extra batteries. There's not really any other way around it if you really use it a lot.
Battery life threads have been done to death. We all know the battery life is what it is. It will work for a real days worth of use for the average business user but for the kids playing games and watching movies well then it will only last a few hours.
Best advice is keep a charger handy
Hi all,
I have a Telstra HTC One XL, with the "1.89... etc" updated installed recently, and a newbie to Android so using the stock Sense installed. I currently have "Fast boot" unticked in power options and also have installed Juicedefender Ultimate with a balanced setting. I still have the autosync option on in the widget, and I have the brightness on 33%. Most of the time Juicedefender leaves wireless off by default, and Bluetooth is turned off unless I am in the car (which is rare).
I have serious difficulty understanding what battery life performance I should be expecting from my phone. Even after making the above modifications, I can sometimes get a dead phone in 10 hours with this happening twice so far (and, typically this usually happens in a pure LTE/4G area). Other times, I can get up to 16-18 hours of use (which I am happy with) when it is a mixture of a LTE/3G area during the day (i.e. LTE in the morning/afternoon and 3G in the evening onwards).
I typically use around 1.5hrs of screen time during a day. What confuses me is that I've read of other posters getting up to 2 days of battery life without charges on this phone, and I have no idea how they are achieving this!
I'm looking for any suggestions on what I should do to monitor my battery life settings, and what measures you think I can take to improve this.
It's disappointing because I love this phone and the only thing holding it back is the battery. I would get through 24hrs of battery with the iPhone 4 with the same usage cycle (albeit yes, no LTE or HSPDA).
Thanks for your suggestions

They achieve days of battery by not having LTE. Some even set their phone to 3G only.
I get 3-3.5 hours of screen time on mine, always on LTE which is usually 20-22 hours of battery time total.

I'm battling a little with mine as well. Only had it 3 days but it really struggles to get through the day. I have wifi set to 2.4 only, 3g only selected and I make sure unused radios are off when not in use. The other night my battery dropped to just about empty when sitting there on wifi where my old desire would only loose maybe 10%.
I read here on xda about an issue it chrome where turning off tilt scrolling helps and I think it has today. But overall I'm not very impressed by this phones life atm as I'm barely getting through the day with about 2 hours of screen time. My desire used to do it easily having maybe 40% at the end of the day running all the same apps.

It takes a few days and full charges before the phone starts to use the full battery. Give it another few charges to get better.

Being in a fringe LTE area is worse than an area with decent LTE reception. My home are seems to have very good LTE coverage, and I easily get 24 hours with light to moderate usage.
Also, being connected to WiFi when you can will improve battery life.

I wouldn't use juice defender or any such app to manage wifi. The phone has setting to disable wifi when the screen is locked - that works very well. I always have brightness set at 40% with auto sync on and data on. The default HTC mail app has a killer feature - allowing auto sync by time - utilize that. Root and get rid of default Facebook and other Facebook hooks in the Sense interface - that is the killer in terms of battery if you have sync enabled. Once that is done - download Facebook from Play store and use that. Also, get rid of all AT&T apps that keep loading in the background - disable if you don't want to root. Now, the battery should easily last 24 hours with light use. Most of what I described doesn't even require root.

In terms of battery life - Apple prioritizes it well above anything else - hence, no widgets or 3rd party programs running in the background. I am sure LTE iPhone (whenever released) will have much better battery life than SGS3 or HOX. Besides, screen is the biggest battery consumer among all components so, having a smaller screen would also play to their advantage.
I'm using the Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2 ROM and my battery life, while better than what it was pre rooting, is still not that great. When I'm outside my house and using 3G, my battery drops by about 8-10% per hour. This is quite poor compared to some of the battery usage I see on this forum with various people posting their screenshots. What exactly can I do to improve battery life?
They're are many little tricks you can do to preserve battery but one thing that actually helped me the most was switching out my stock battery for a long lasting battery. Most of us have done this this is why your seeing the different results. I personally use Anker battery. It's given me a lot more battery time than stock ever had! This is really the best way to go.As for the tricks you can check your settings and turn down or off some of the things that are draining battery like led, turn down back light , keyboard feed back, check your sync and only sync what's necessary, make sure no logging is taking place , ect. Just look for what you might think is draining battery and adjust the settings accordingly. I hope this helps you out. It had helped me. Best wishes.

Well I am using the Anker battery for a pretty long time now and I still don't anywhere close to the battery performance that most others here seem to get. What 3.32 based kernel would you suggest which would best help save battery?
I like bricked ,but try a few out and see what you think. Bricked has proven to give me the best battery life personally. Best wishes.

you can try using juice defender, changing cell type to 2G or GSM (PRL) in 4636 menu, switch off synchro, set conservative governor or make own cpu seting (disable second core for ex.) Hypernonsense is good batterry saving aosp rom. im using it with stock kernel
