I'm just wondering if some other Sensation owners can chime in with their battery stats. I've had the phone for a couple of days now, and with a few battery cycles behind me, I'm still concerned. I do understand the "new toy factor" of using a new gadget much more frequently than normal, but what specifically concerns me is the amount of juice the display is using. With push email on, twitter sync on, auto brightness on, and mostly indoor use, I am finding that I can't get more than 3 hours of Display On time. At the moment I have the following stats:
17% Battery Remaining
9h 5m 9s on battery
Display: 80% (Time on 2h 7m 31s)
Cell standby: 8%
Phone idle: 5%
Wi-Fi: 5%
Maps: 2%
Usage has consisted of some light web browsing, just a few minutes of phone calls, lots of texting / email, and general playing. At the moment, I can barely make it to the afternoon, let alone a full day. Is this comparable to what most of you are seeing or do I have a bad battery? Coming from a Samsung Galaxy S I was hoping for better performance but so far this is far worse ( I used to get 5+ hours of Display On time )..
Thx..
45% remaining
On battery 6 hours
Display on 2hr 10min
Display 85%
WiFi 6%
Cell standby 6%
Phone idle 3%
Comparable to my DHD I'd say, possibly a bit better. Custom roms did improve that though
Funny thing is my girlfriends galaxy s has shocking battery drain, particularly in standby. She's currently on Darkys ROM and I've given up trying to figure why she can never last a day with her phone.

Coming from a G2 and this phone seems to be much worse. At work I would make it through the afternoon with very minimal usage mostly idle and checking my email on it 8-10 times and have 80%+ left over when I left the office after 9 hours off the charger. Even mostly idle I'm at 50-60% during the same timespan with a 20% bigger battery. Yesterday I was @ 95% and used the GPS for 30 minutes and it dropped the battery down to 60% in that small time period.
My batyery sucks big time... I trained it once - didnt do anything. Still get about 8 hrs between 7am and 8pm. Light to moderate usage :-(
Maybe i should look into finding a bigger battery

I get about 14-17 hours, depending on usage. I'll post my stats later today as I'm at 100% right now.
I would disable htc hub from syncing. It syncs every few minutes and drains the hell out of the battery. I also disable always on mobile data and that helps save the battery when my phone is idle but things that you auto sync might have problems. My .02.

This is pretty much my usage.
I can get over 24 hours pretty easily if i'm only using it for a phone call here or there. This is with Wifi turned on(and wifi calling on), auto-brightness, and auto-synching set to different intervals. Exchange email is set to every 15 mins, google set to push, FB is manual, weather is set to once a day.
If I'm using it pretty heavy, browsing the web, playing a game or two(peggle & plants vs zombies), I'll get typically around 12-14 hours.
For the first few days the battery life in my brand new Sensation sucked too. I was getting maybe 8-9 hours of moderate usage before having to plug it in to recharge.
On Friday night (June 24th), I did a full factory reset through the bootloader, installed Juice Defender and set it on Aggressive setting, and charged it overnight for about 8 hours while the phone was turned off. Yesterday (Saturday, June 25th) after over 18 hours of moderate use, which included many phone calls, emails, some texting, browsing, playing with the phone, and even a little bit of Stupid Zombies, the battery was still at 42%!!!
I charged it overnight again for 8 hours. So far today, after 3.5 hours of HEAVY usage, the battery is at 93%. I am beginning to like this a lot!
Email auto-sync, BT on at all times, some internet radio streaming today and still at 91%. It's been off the charge for 3 hours now. I think that's pretty good compared to my HD2.
I have been very happy with the battery life so far, its better than the battery life was on the MyTouch 4G I had. Can go a whole day no problem, MyTouch 4G couldn't make it a day....
To all you guys that are getting phenomenal battery life, could you check your battery stats and tell us your display usage?
Thx
I will post battery stats later today but battery life has not been as good as I hoped. Compared to the G2x I'm getting worse battery life. Then again, it's too to compare a device that is running a custom rom versus stock.

3 hours 11 mins
So with 48% battery left your display had been on for over 3 hours? That is excellent.. Definitely something wrong with my battery if that is the case.

Yup. thats what i read... maybe i should tell you what I did when I got the HTC Ssensation...
I used it and set it up on that batt level that came out of the box... till it switched off... kept if off and charged it the whole night.. about 7 hours.. unplugged.. turned the phone back on.. used it again the whole day and brought the battery level to about 19%.. turned it off.. charged it again full for about 7 hours... and now i am using it as normal!!
EDIT::: hahahahahhahahahahahaha.. no wonder... I am sorry.. its a typo.. 2 hour and 11 Mins.. well now 18 mins!!!
Still quite decent I think.. with the usage!!!
My battery sucked too but its doing much better (ibwas not worried because the same happened to my nexus one). Always moderatevuse and I get about 16 hours of use and still have about 40% left.
I have auto sync on, wifi off, screen brightness on about 60%.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
This is probably the longest lasting device I've used in a while. My G2X would get me about 11 hours with moderate use but my Sensation will last close to 16 hours with moderate use.
The only thing I have syncing is my Gmail account and calendar. I turned off everything else including weather. I also never keep my display set to automatic since that's just another piece of hardware that constantly has to work. Unless I'm in direct sunlight, my display stays at 50%.

Just got a new Z3 D6616. This is the battery life projection I'm getting. I bought this phone because I heard great things about it's battery life. Also, when I saw a YouTube review, the guy's phone had a battery life projection of several days. Is something faulty with this specific handset? Am I doing something terribly wrong? Please advise.
PS. I'm at about 30-40% screen brightness with the adaptive setting on.

You should actually use the phone from 100% doing your daily stuff till about 1% and take screen of your on screen time. On screen time is what matter. They claimed to have at least 8 hours SoT with normal usage but the max I can get is only 4.5 or 5 hours.
I did a lot of reading before buying the phone. Heard about the "memory" screen or something that helps towards battery life. Several users claimed 10 hours SOT. Could it be the newer firmware that might have reduced it? I'll post the YouTube videos I saw shortly.
I use brightness at about 1/3 and have location and autosync on. I get about 8-9 Hrs SOT in a 36Hrs period.
At first even I got 4-6 Hrs SOT until it calibrated over a few charge/discharge cycles.
It takes a few cycles for the battery to calibrate, if you want to do that faster do the following:
1. Drain to 0-1% with normal use
2. Do a full charge till 100%
3. Do another full discharge (Dont charge in between)
4. Do another full charge till 100%
5. Now just use it how you want.
Thanks! Guess I'll have to report back report back after a couple cycles.
I have the same problem, I have enable the stamina mode, have the brightness at half and auto,and the battery won't last for one day,as an example today when I get up after I unplug the device it go from 100% to 99% right away and now after 10 hours without game,photos just Internet reading over WiFi the battery is at 31%. It doesn't seem normal, what should I do?must go to service?
I'm at 59% and my phone predicts 1 day remaining.
D6616 as well
I do suspect an app draining my battery though...

I also have no power saving features enabled, with max brightness..
I can get 6+ hours if I limit my brightness, but I settle for less with max brightness throughout the day.

Sometimes my "battery forecast" is low like yours though, I wouldn't worry about it unless you're actually getting bad battery life.

The battery life I'm experiencing is worse than the "forecast", which is essentially what worries me. Regardless, I've no right to whine unless I've cycled the battery completely at least once since it is after all a brand spanking new phone.

I doubt I'd get the 24 hours from now with my current use either. As long as it lasts me throughout the day I'm fine.
I can generally go the entire weekend without charging my phone though.
Ive gone through 3 Z4s (Cosmetic defects/lightbleed) on my 4th Z4, all of the were bad until they were calibrated within a few days.

Lol yes.
I fully discharged and recharged my phone. Now I got 18 hours usage, including 7 hours SOT with the screen on max brightness for half an hour. It's getting much better now, certainly a huge improvement over my previous phone!
Sent from the inner sanctum of my mind.
That's more like it, it should get a little better.
Please have a look towards the end... My phone's been awake when I was asleep. Is there an issue with this phone deep sleeping? While I get a good SOT, the idle drain is too high! Please advise on how I could investigate if a particular app is doing this. I used to use "wakelock detector" but that no longer works without root.
EDIT: Stamina Mode always on.

I have the same problem too... Whenever I leave the phone idle, even with the stamina mode on, it still uses the battery as if I was using it.
Just got the phone on Wednesday. So far this is my third battery cycle. Earlier I just noticed the battery percent dropped to 94 after unplugged for roughly an hour and I didn't use it at all since it was fully charged. Checking the battery report it said the screen on time was 37 mins. My concern is since we are so fixated on SOT as a true reflection of battery life, is SOT report really accurate? Can someone please confirm this?
Yes...
What is the SOT you getting with normal use?

For me the report has been accurate. Are you using the stock report in the battery section? Or a third party app? Did you see it charge up to 100%. Seems like it maybe didn't but it is suppose to reset at about the 90 mark.
Personally I don't use SoT as a accurate reflection of battery life. Someone using their screen for Netflix vs another who's playing a game will get two totally different SoTs.

The SOT is absolutely accurate ... It just mesures the exact time the screen is on haha, not a lot of error cases possible
I easily get 3-4 hours SOT before I get down to 40%. Communications always on, adaptive brightness with don't at 50%. By the end of the day I usually have about 5 hours SOT with 5 or 6 hours standby and about 45% remaining.
I've had this phone for two weeks now and the past few days every time I charge it to 100 it instantly drops to 99 after 2-3min of use. I'm not running any heavy programs either if I just have the screen on it will drop. In the screenshot below I had 13min of use and it went down to 98. Is this happening to anyone else? I don't have power saver mode on.

Seems to be just about right
If you're not getting good enough screen on time and did factory resets already, try reflashing the system. It worked for me.
Mine does the same exact thing. My note 9 never had this issue and I'm only seeing 3 to 3 1/2 hours on screen time..
My samsung SM-N975U battery averages 1d 0h 0m (19h 50m 0s active usage) on a single charge.
My note 10+ goes from 100 to 97 in about 5 minutes. Current situation -
upload
The last thing I'll complain about is going from 100% to 97% in 5 minutes with this type of battery life.
I am in a situation where it feels like its draining faster then it should, but Im also using it more than I should, so I dont know if a phone issue or a me issue. Im gonna do a reset to see if the results remind.
I realized that the Secret for obtaining high amounts of battery life (screen in time) is if you consistently use the phone.I found that I can easily get 10 hours if I'm constantly using the phone to the point where the screen is on for 10 hours. The second I put the phone to sleep and I don't use it as much is when I start heading 6 to 8 hours of screen on time. It's weird how they've implemented this but,
I now just use my device without even concerning myself with the battery life for screen on time because it doesn't really matter. In the back of my mind I know I could get 10 hours if I actually spent that amount of time on my device with the screen on. When it comes to regular usage 6-8 hours on a device that lasts a day and a half sometimes almost 2 days I don't think it's anything to complain about
The problem is that your phone like mine must have came with 4300 or less mAh ... Most likely less ... Mine has 4280 mAh I am very pissed at Samsung for that since my hauwei p30 pro phone have almost 4800 mAh so it spends 8 hours in 100 percent until it starts to decrease the battery that is why so many fear hauwei I guess it was my first phone from then and it's amazing how it is superior to anything I have ever seen before ...
Ya me too how solve battery drain issues
I have a issue with regards to the battery where if the battery is reaches 10% , then from 10 to 0% drains within 1min. Any idea how to fix this or issue with the battery?
Wondering how is your battery life, I'm 5:30 hours for 54% of battery(75% - 21%)
I max charge it to 75% and usually I don't drain it less than 25% - To achieve the best battery life long term, so I won't need replacement anytime soon. Also I don't fast charge, usually 1A charging or similar(e.g. Wireless charging 7.5W)
Obviously I use underclocking to the point I don't fee any difference in daily usage
Share your thoughts, for 0-100% I bet I can do more than 7:30 SOT

Lol mate you're more like 5:30 min after 75-25 twice.
Such a bad battery life usually happens after using mokee as they change low lever instructions in the processor.
What happens is that the processor microcode is changed such that instead of power being managed by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes, it’s actually now managed by the modial interaction of adreno-reluctance and capacitive directance of the cores. You can not change that any more as it was a change on hardware level microconductions that can not be reverted.

50%(75-25% usage) of battery gives me 5:30 SOT hours and it's bad?
You troll right? this is only achieved with underclocking, at 100% you should expect more than 7:30 and maybe 8 hours! what about you?
P.S. Give me your SOT 75-25% and if it's more than 5:30 SOT I'll send you my phone for free - Bet you can't even do 6 hours SOT with full battery
just look at the screenshot you provided yourself, the battery graph clearly shows you charged your phone after you hit 25% the first time to 75% and let it run down to 21% again. battery (and sot) stats won't reset until you charge over 90%, so your reading of 5.5 hours of sot is actually 2 instances of your habitual 75-25% drain. in reality you are only getting about half that for 50% use (~2h 45min sot), which I'd say isn't too bad, but maybe you should do a full 100% to 0% use once and see how the battery fares for a more accurate reading. honestly I would say you would still get around 5.5-6 hours sot from that, and that unless you do some serious tweaking to both your phone and usage patterns you wouldn't be able to hit 7 hours sot, but I would be willing to see evidence that proves me otherwise.

Battery Charge Limit - Resets your stats but also limits the charging
I know you are clueless but talking without knowing is bad - 5.5 is for 50% battery due to high underclocking I've got
With 100% I can get over 8-10 hours - High end CPU cores are not more than 1.5Ghz, gpu at power saving but also lowest possible freq for min/max - You are talking crap but ok I won't feed you, I stop feeding trolls the moment I get they troll
sorry but you are the one talking crap, please see attached picture, which is a crop of your battery graph. i personally also use the battery charge limit app, and i know how the reset battery stats option in the app works, which will clear the battery graph as well. if you really did clear battery stats you wouldn't be able to see this upward curve.
how about this, you fully charge your phone and use it normally until you hit your claimed 8-10h sot. honestly i think i can match your sot, but without this underclocking you highly praise.
You're either braindamaged or a troll. You charged your phone and it didn't reset stats so it combined both usages. Did you pass 6th grade maths? Anyways SoT is subjective and you're just being extra petty about this

Only 10?
By doing a small mod on the battery, I get like 12 hours minimum, with 50% brightness fixed. What I did is that I replaced the main-winding of the normal Lotus-O-Deltoid type and placed it in the pan-indermic semi-boloid slots of the battery.

Removed lots of bloatware using adbFastboot tool and connected mostly on wifi. Without wifi with medium usage, I can get around 6 hours SOT within 2 days of use.
aex + canting.
I've had mine for 18 months and am still very pleased on the charge. I can typically get 12 - 14 hours fine, and that does me for most uses. I've seen it go longer when I've used it less (for example right now 20 hours without charge - 6% left, although that would include about 7 hours of sleep so no use in that time).
No modifications on my part.
