Hi guys , a new noob here out in this forum and I ve got to say thanks
for XDA, it helped me solve lot of problems
I got my sensation 2 months back and i am new to android,this is my
first android.
Well I have some few question that are unresolved so I am posting about
this .
First thing is universal problem - the battery , well on standby its
lasting like 14 hrs - wats your standby time?? and if I play games it lasts 5 hrs max .. is this normal?
But from the past 2 days on stand by my battery
is draining out like anything its lasting only 3-4 hrs on standyby - any
ideas on y this is happening or any app to monitor which app is
draining out my battery , I restarted like 10-15 times but still the
same
Shall i update to ICS (official update), i ve heard lot of pros and cons , I am from
India any suggestion whether to go or not
Gps isnt working without Internet Connection , I have saved offline
google maps but that aint working , any help on this one
Camera lags a bit . usually have to wait 4 seconds to get the picture clarity
EDIT : My sensation came with 8gb memory card and it has lot of memory occupied and i dono for what (like in .data ,.android_secure folders etc) . I want to use 16gb memory card . should i copy all the data which my card contains? like after factory set my card occupies around 3-4gb should i copy all that data
I would be happy to see my queries resolved here .:fingers-crossed:..
THANK YOU XDA :good:
Upgrade to ICS
then check gps and camera issue that you are having
as you are on GingerBread SOFF will be easy for you
here follow this guide to the letter ..starting from SOFF
(even though guide explains flashing ARHD rom ...the procedure can be applied to any rom )
Also change out stock battery for a extended battery.Anker makes a great extended battery and it's about ten dollars . Mugen also makes a great battery, the 3800mah is the one I got and can get two days with heavy use out of the battery.but most people prefer Anker as it is much more affordable where the mugen is 95 dollars. But either way a extended battery will benefit you greatly. You can find Anker online from amazon. You will not regret changing to a extended life battery, it will make a great difference for you!

For the battery issue. My suggestion would be that have a deep look around in Google Play. There are some good applications you can use to find out what drains your battery. As you mentioned your device is 2 month old so I doubt it was a hardware issue. I assume it is an application related problem. Something might run in the background. You can also try to remove the battery for couple of minutes, then put it back, power up your device and see if the problem still exists. In worst case scenario you could do a factory reset. That will put your device back to the original, factory state. Remember to backup your messages, phonebook... etc. before proceed! I hope your issue will be solved!

Thanks buddy for the reply ..
I dont use data connectivity at all its always off.. mostly WIFI
But on gps ... I have downloaded google maps . Its showing in the offline list . so now when i turn off WIFI and with GPS ON I am unable to track my current location .. is this normal? do we need data connection for GPS? I have read in some forums in XDA well the answer is You can trace location without INTERNET but couldnt find out why that isnt working for me?

Thanks buddy ... I dont want to reset . I ve got like 120 apps which i cant reinstall again very difficult. searched play store there are some apps but they are jus showing statistics instead of showing which app consumed my batttery..
How about going to settings and check the battery use there? That should tell you as well what consume the battery. Give it a try! And I think Google Play should backup all your apps, so when you reset your phone then go to Google Play it should reinstall all your apps again. But I am not 100% sure about that. If your device was rooted you could use Titanium Backup for this. 120 apps??!! Maybe it's just me who using 15-20... For how to S-OF, what it is and for a lot of more useful information about the HTC Sensation read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716955

Hello,
I've got a huge problem with my battery. I use the Android Revolution HD 3.6.11 with OC Daemon 1,5 GHZ. I've also installed the recommend radio and wiped my battery stats. CurrentWidget tells me that the average battery usage is about 53 mAh without Wi-Fi and 559 mAh with Wi-Fi. Also, the app "Wheres my Droid Power" tells me that 17,07 percent go to HTC Sense.
Do you have any tips how to fix this battery wasting ?
Thanks in Advance
Unlocer
I have the same problem, only the most usage of the battery is going to the Display and I don't know why. if someone could explain will be very helpfull.
I use the same rom and all.
my mobile HTC Sensation XE
Thanks
i have the same problem even though i'm still on 3.6.8 but i'm gonna flash 3/6/11 today
The best things I have found for battery drain is to make sure you do a full superwipe before every ROM flash, Lower the brightness of the screen (change from auto), disable tactile feedback, turn off BT, Wifi, GPS etc. when not in use (Tasker is very good), Also perhaps change your radio, if it's not for your area it could be sucking a lot of battery.
Hope this helps, but like i said this is what works for me, I also noticed that MIUI has great battery life and even now that im on ICS its great, Also just buy a bigger battery, I currently have 2 x 2450mAh, one in my cradle and one in the phone.
i have the battery drain problem alsao. i test with many different roms ,and Before install any rom, i always did wipe data/factory reset- cache- davik cache. Then format system. But it can't solve the problem. I monitor the battery with current widget app, and its log always show my battery drain from 60 mah to >200 mah (every 5 mins) when my phone in sleep mode (with : no auto-sync, wifi off, even data off, no gps, facebook, mail...is sync every 4 hours)...The lowest result i got is 9mah but it's not stable. I just don't know what is happening with my phone. Sorry for my english.
flash the bricked kernal thats the biggest battery saver tip.
What Radio Are You Running
I am having a problem and it started after I did the firmware flash upgrade and I was curious what radio you are running as stock. I am in Phx, az

I would download and flash the superwipe script before flashing any ROM rather than doing that stuff manually. Some users have reported that when they flashed the ROM again it sorted it out.
Deleting htc peep account in synchronization & accounts has also been reported to work in some cases.

1. i did flash super-wipe.zip before installed roms too.
2. i don't have HTC peep under synchronization, and never log in to HTC account
------------------------------
FYI, i am currently running OneICS 1.04 senseles rom. After i installed this rom, i fully charged my phone . 19 hours later with very minimal usage, my phone have 30% left.(screen up time is about 2 hour only).

What firmware do you refer to.
Sent from HTC Sensation, Elegancia ROM Series....
I also used Super Wipe before installing the ROM. And I never activated a HTC Sense account, aswell.
I tried the Energy ROM now and I have to say, the battery life is much better than in Android Revolution.
Had the same problem myself, that's why I switched to MIUI.
I thought there is no MIUI Version for Sensa ?

You mean no MIUI for Sensation? Maybe not for XE or XL but for Sensation (standard) there is one indeed! Take a look here: http://roms.miui.us/
Oh, I see. Thank you, I'll try that ROM aswell

Anytime I'm pretty sure you'll love MIUI
ive been on AndroRevHD and im not too happy with battery performance, i have juicedefender pro, turn wifi and mobile data off while im in school, underclock it while in school and the battery reaches 30 percent by 12 and i unplug from a full charge at 6 20ish...
also whenever i power on the phone htc sense stops and has to restart everytime
no need to be a dickhead and say theres a website called google... i cant google someones opinion
so anyway from experience which sense rom is the fastest, stablest, and longest lasting battery youve used... besides elgancia and coredroid cause i dont like there theming...
oh and im about to try insertcoin now
I would suggest you try ENERGY ROM, it is still Gingerbread but it is stable and fast my battery lasts the whole day now it is a 1900 battery though, but with stock ROM I only had 25-30% left by 11:30
strange, I have the Sensation on ARHD 6.2.1 and during school I also turn off my mobile network/wifi.. but I don't under-clock, i just set the screen-off governor as conservative.. when I reach school, it's still at 100% battery after listening to some music on the train, when I leave school it's around 92%
stock kernel at 1.5 ghz if that helps
PS. the HTC Sense crash means you have apps on your SD card, go to app settings and un-tick all the apps so that they get moved to phone memory. I have tried this myself and it worked
Maybe juice defenders interfer with the kernel functions?

Good choice with InsertCoin IMHO. Found it to be most suitable for MY needs ( you asked for opinions, right?)

Hello everyone,
I have looked around the forum and it seems like most of you guys with Sensation + 3.12 or 3.24 or 3.30 firmware and ICS Roms have good or great battery lives.
This is not the case for me unforunately with Sensation XE. battery drain is so crazy that if i go to sleep with 100% charged - the battery is dead when i wake up (in a metter of 8-10 hours) while the phone is not used at all, wi-fi and mobile network off.
I have tried
- full-wipe
- reflash
- calibration
- discharging to 0% and recahrging - couple cysles
- waiting 4-5 days until the ROM settles down
- removing microSD
- canging batteried (i have anker and stock htc both in good health)
- i am not overclocking
but still the battery drain is very bad.
I am now using Battery Monitoring widget but i cannot find what app or process is causing the problem.
Here are my questions
1) What is the normal mA value (displayed on battery monitor widget)?
what are your lowest and highest values? for me lowest is about 65mA and highest over 700mA. Is it to much? Those of you guys with nice battery drain - could you please install Battery Monitor Widget and let me know you values?
2) How can I find the app (if its an app) that takes the juice? I tried to see stats in battery monitor widget - but all I can see is some k.workers
I even tried to full-wipe and not to install any apps. Currently i have GoLauncher, GoSMS and Battery Monitor Widget, PlayerPro and Android Pro Widgets.
3 ) here is my battery history. Does it look normal?

It seems high but not outrageous. You gave about 70-100mAh when not in use which is about what I had with factory rom. I assume all the usual things are done like GPS off, brightness low, wifi on etc.
Do you have poor signal, and are you using mobile data a lot? That increases battery usage.
To assess more fully the processes running I use system tuner pro. This allows you to see user, system & kernel processes and sort by memory, CPU time etc.
I currently see around 30-60mAh when idling.

Hello,
thanks for reply.
My Signal is good (full-bars) Mobile Data is off, WIFI, GPS are off as well
and brightness low... but actually the screen is off when i am sleeping...
I understand smartphones use power, especially on mobile-data and WiFi, but I hate that feeling when I wake up and see my phone's battery dead....
never got as low as 30mAh even when completely not in use with everything off.
I will try to use System Tuner Pro - maybe will find out somethinh.
OK post back results perhaps I can help more.
I'm looking at STP now, using task manager I can see my top processes in terms of CPU time are:
STP
android system
Xda premium
Android keyboard
/system/bin/surfaceflinger
Gmail
System UI
do nothing untoward, I would expect those to be running given my usage right now.
Use STP to record a period when you sleep, you can then do this process check to see what's running.

My battery is pretty much the same and I'm on a fresh ics install. This device seems to just suck a lot of battery. The screen especially.
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using Tapatalk
Hmmm my sensation XE used to have at least 1.5 times as much power (when used) and 2 to 3 times as much power when not used befor upgrading to 3.12, 3.24 and 3.30.
I know what you will tell - go back to Gingerbread.
I am actually considering this. but many people say with ICS their battery is better then ever before.
Is it ICS who sucks the power then?
Thanks
From your stats you are losing 1% in 5 minutes in standby, my sensation (with virtuous inquisition ROM) uses less than 1% per hour - that's with a good 4G connection in standby. My 1900mAh battery lasts over 24hrs with up to 6hrs screen on during that time.
To eliminate hardware flash a fresh ROM and firmware, boot a couple of times (don't install any apps) then remove the SD card and put the phone in airplane mode and leave it overnight on standby. If you're losing more than 1% per hour, then your phone may be faulty. If not then you'll need to try things one by one, turn airplane mode off, insert SD, then apps until you find the problem.
Looking at the instant mAh figures won't help you a lot, the battery driver for the sensation is useless and BMW has to estimate the figure.
Thanks for advice.
Could you please let me know the firware you are using?
3.12, 3.24 or 3.30 ?

3.12. I had the 3.24 ready to load when VI 3.5 was released but everything worked fine on 3.12 so I left well alone.
Ok here is what happened
1) i falshed new 3.30 RUU and ROM with fullwipe etc
2) booted the rom put it to settle fo 30 mins
3) rebooted 3 times
4) then charged to 100%, and switched airplane mode ON
with Airplane Mode on - I have lost 25% of battery during 3 hours without touching the phone. That makes 12 hours without using the phone at all.
I am starting wondering if it is not the firware that is causing the problems... Maybe i should go back to 3.12 or even earlier.
Anyone can please point me to some firmware earlier to 3.12?
I do not think it is a faulty phone, because I have 2 phones and both have same problem. and both started having this problem after upgrading to ICS...
let me know you thoughts and please a link to an earlier firmware (earlier than 3.12)
battery drain
i would say you have normal operation .
mine is between 50-100 MA and yet when not using it during night in the morning i am still at 100%......
when keeping it for a whole day not using it i am droping from 100% to 87% for about 24 hours idle use ....
so i would say check your battery when it starts or is it from the day you got your device .....
Thanks for reply, oferyama
Normal operation ??
You lose 23% in 24 hours while
me - I lose 1% every 5 minutes = teh phone is dead after 10 hours of idling.....
Probalby mAh reported vaules is incorrect, and the important thing is how many % you lose per hour
Did you flash a custom kernel at all?
What rom is this problem occurring with?
Sent from my Pyramid-T
I have tried many ICS ROMS - Elegancia ICS, AnroidMe ICS, LeeDroid ICS = same problem. i also tried 3.12, 3.24 and 3.30 firmwares
but I cannot remember if the problem started when i upgraded to 3.12 or 3.24.....
From today I have 3.30 jsut for testing... and if everything fails - planning to go back to Gingerbread to see if it helps...
Hi umka, I had same problem as you. Try this to figure out what's eating your battery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
I'm using VI 3.5.1 beta and battery drain varies from 30 to 82mA while not touching a phone at all on stock XE battery. While i'm typing this, I have 78% battery, phone is unplugged for 10h and 6 minutes. I'm using SebastianFM kernel 1.11 (this one: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64017594/HTC Sensation/Overclocked_kernel_v1.11_1512_MHz_by_SebastianFM.zip) on my Sensation XE. Radio is stock for FW 3.30. Adequate RIL of course. Lots of apps installed, many of them are disabled from autostarting. I'm using Shnizlon's theme (just aosp bar).
Desktop: minimalistic text with weather info, updating every 3 hours.
Hope this brief info will help you to figure something out.
Good luck!
Thanks for reply - trying this right now....
Amon87, could you please let me know what was eating batery in your case?? I have just flashed a new ROM and did not isntall any applications at all... Where shoud I look at?
I was suspecting the radio, but i tried different ones... and i tried airplane mode - but even in airplane mode when radio shoud not make any difference the battery drain is terrible..
i will post you on the results

So no kernels flashed desperately to rom?
Did you have any results from STP finding the battery killer? Do you restore app/data after each flash e.g. with TiBu?
Sent from my Pyramid-T
Sorry to say, but i just don't remember the name of that app. For sure, main problem for me was radio and unmatching RIL.
I recommend you to try different kernel and change governor. I'm using system tuner pro to change this. When screen on: ondemand 192-1.51. Screen off: interactive 192-648MHz. But try powersave.
Another clue. Maybe somehow second core is constantly turned on?
What recovery are you using to flash roms, kernels etc? For me it's newest 4ext recovery test build.

1) In most case I used default kernels provided with the ROM (somtimes flashed custom ones)
2) I am not good yet at looking at STP and BMW stats - so amybe I am missing something, but so far I did not find the battery killer. How do you find the battery killer? a process using more than 10%-20% CPU or smth like that?
3) I used to restore the apps using Titanium Backup, but then, to find out the problem, i just flashed a fresh ROM and did not install any apps at all..
and still losing at least 10% per hour with DATA off, Mobile Network OFF, GPS and WIFI off and Airplan Mode ON.

- Well right now I do not have any apps installed yet, excpet those that come default with 3.30. So its definetely not an application.
- !!! Myabe it is indeed unmatching RIL adn RADIO - coudl you please give me more info on that? How do I find out what is matching. I am in Japan and i bought my phone in HongKong (so it shoould be asia) and default ROM was doing just fine... Could you please point me to correct RIL and Radio - or advice where to look?
- From what i have seen in STP yesturday - second core is off. not sure about now - cause i do not have STP installed after flashing stok 3.30
- I am using ext4 recovery latest.
i have a quick kernel question, i have cm9 rom installed and i did some searching and found that changing the kernel could help with battery drain, so im needing 2 know if this actualy helps. with cm9s kernel my phone only lasted abt 6hrs from doing nothing but txting (i have no apps on my phone except batteryxl/2xbattery. im not using the pro ver as i do not buy apps, so my wifi is constantly turned on even after i shut it off manualy and turn data on), i flashed the team faq kernel and still see abt the same, if changing the kernel does help with battery life, what kernel would be the best 2 use? and if possible could you link me to it. i have searched the sgs4g section for kernels but havnt found many in the development forums.
(if a question like mine was asked/answered b4 i am sry 4 reposting, as i am still trying to figure the best setup 4 my phone that will last atleast a full day or longer from just txting)

Atm there aren't any ICS kernels besides those two. You can try to under clock to 600 or 800 MHz to get a little more screen on time. Its either that or go to a GB rom with known good battery life
First off, have you read some of the other threads on battery life and ICS?
Second, what do those battery apps actually do? They may be doing more harm than good. BetterBatteryStats will provide insight into why your phone might be draining so quickly.
Third, turn off the WiFi! Not clear why you have it on if you're only texting.
Sounds to me that if it isn't one of those, it's new-shiny-toy syndrome, or cruft from flashing (if you believe in gremlins)

Battery apps don't do anything to improve battery life anymore. They were needed back around froyo and earlier but not anymore

ive seen some improvment with batteryxl/2xbattery running, after calibrating my phone battery its showing its lasting around 18hours, as for my wifi im always home so its connected 24/7 for the other apps that are updated, i will try buying a new extended battery in the next few days and see how that works

So I updated my phone to ICS with the nordic leaked version. After that my battery is so bad, drains almost twice as fast as it did on GB.
I've tried the battery callibration, but it did not work
Is there any other way to get the battery-life back or am I screwed?
Like going back to GB or something
Leaked version it is very bad for battery. You need to instal clean version, flash safety kernel, makes factory reset and then battery wipe. For me it was ok

U can use juice defender or any application which can boost up the battery.. dont let opened wifi/data when u are nt using them. Also, ics having battery draining problem.. bt if u want then handle it at ur end, can handle it easly.
Bt last and thing nt to b forgot is dont make such kind of thread which are already discussed b4. Try to search before then make / post thread.
I think u got the answer. Also u can ask in any ICS thread..now this thread can b closed. Hope u understand.
Reporting to justin.
