Hello XDA Community, i'm a HTC Sensation owner and i got it from service 3 days ago (the phone had really frequent shutdowns and the battery only lasted like 2 hours even without using it). Altough it doesn't have those problems i experience a really weak battery... As you can see from the photos i only had a 9h and 20 minutes lifetime from 100%, with only 2 hours and 7 minutes Screen On... Today i played games around 1 hour, used the internet 5-10 minutes , talked for like 1 minute and sent 5 messages. Is it normal that a 1520 mAh battery drains so fast?
I had the same problem when I first got my Sensation. Mine was used, so the battery was already a year old, but the phone was mint. I had the same terrible drain as you have, and I hardly used mine during the day. I rooted it and tried a few ROM's, and found that so far, anything based on Bruce's CM10 gives the best battery life. Will defiantly be try the Viper ROM today though.
If you don't want to root, I would pick up one of these:

I'm going to be trying one out myself.

I bought mine used too, it was used for 8 months, ill try to purchase an anker then... Thanks!
Hi I had same issue, tried Anker it was a good battery but I still needed more juice . I went to Mugen 3800mah battery. Now with HEAVY use I get more than 24 hours use out of one charge! I can't stress enough what a difference this battery has made for me! Yes it is expensive but for me it was worth every cent! I am a heavy user of my device and rely on it for everything from navigation to internet to gaming. This is a serious battery , it solved all my battery drain issues ! One thing through, it does make you're device a bit thicker but it still fits in pocket and feels good in my hand. For me, battery life is what I'm after so I don't at all mind the thicker phone I'm not in a beauty contest, I wanted results! This battery delivers. If your a moderate user you might not need so much juice but if you're a heavy user like I am this battery is the answer! It will not disappoint! If you find Anker is not providing enough juice and want more time on battery, do consider Mugen 3800mah. You won't worry about running out of battery Again! This battery with HEAVY use will still be on 100% two hours later!! My biggest issue was battery drain and this battery solved that problem for me. Like I mentioned its not for everyone because it will make device thicker but if you're serious about battery life it's the way to go! So depending on your use this might be an other option for you. If you use your device heavily, I highly recommend this battery. Best wishes to you!

Thanks for the tip... I'm not such a heavy user of my phone but atm its still unbealiveable short on it's life. If i would take it out of the charger at 100% and play 1 and a half hour it will get to 1%...
Have you gave Anker a try? Most people here really like Anker and its given great extended battery. It's very affordable and I think it would be a wonderful solution to your issue.battery will make a big difference. You will see. My stock battery was absolutely pathetic. After I switched it was like night And day a huge difference! I believe Anker is only about 10 to 15 dollars and you won't regret switching. This is one solution to your issue. Best wishes. You can also try changing kernels and see if that helps but I think a Anker battery will really help in your situation.

Just thought I'd put my two cents in...
Whilst a higher capacity battery will help to some extent, IMHO it's like buying a bigger hose instead of fixing the hole in the bucket.
To clarify, I do actually own an Anker 1900mAh battery as well as the stock battery, but only because it was cheap and I was interested to see how much difference it made. I switch between the two on a regular basis. I can't deny the Anker certainly has a better cycle length than stock, but as I was already achieving well in excess of a full day's use on stock battery the benefit to me was negligible.
Another clarification, I'm not one of those people who will refuse to use their phone all day and then crow about their "amazing" battery life. You buy a smartphone because you want to use it. Mine is a work phone and as such is well used every day, making/receiving calls and texts, camera shots, VPN access etc. Then there's my personal use, web browsing, eBay, bluetooth audio every time I get in the car or work truck, e-books, games and so on. Not to labour the point but the phone comes off the charger at 6 am every work day and always has some life left when it goes back on the charger at 10 or 11 pm.
I guess, partly because of what I do for a job, I'm not a fan of "bigger hammer" solutions. There is a wealth of information here on XDA and you can greatly increase your battery life and cost you nothing but a bit of time spent reading. For a start I'd suggest looking into Battery Monitor Widget and/or Better Battery Stats (this thread).
I don't know if you're rooted or not, there are huge gains to be made with rooting and the possibilities that come with that. However, my wife's completely stock One S had absolutely atrocious battery life out of the box, and of course no possibility of increasing battery capacity, but with a few tweaks and better understanding she can still get a day's use out of her phone.
Sorry for the lengthy reply, but I see a lot of "get a bigger battery" responses to these questions when there are other options you can explore

Just wondering if anyone has tried this battery. It's the newest one I've seen, and the highest capacity but, as we know, that may be bollocks.

i got it, the old battery lasted about 10 hours with me, this lasts about 12 hours under similar use... big difference is it takes about half the time to recharge! i think im gonna buy the Anker 1900mAh battery and try that out
The Anker 1900 seems to be the one everyone is using and actually IS 1900mAH. Some of these higher ones are false but I'd be interested in how you compare this and the Anker 1900. Going to get one of these anyway. Interesting about the re-charge time.

The recharge time is entirely possible of they punched a few thousand nano holes through the lithium to allow for the ions to transfer faster. However, considering the production time it probably takes and the price of this battery, I doubt it. I've been using the Anker 1900 mAh batteries and have been getting pretty solid life (with no calibration & heavy usage). I usually see 8-10 hours, which is fine because I just swap out the battery with the one that's been charging (I bought the 2-anker batteries + battery charger combo pack). I'm seeing some people say they get 20+ hours on a stock battery due to phone configuration? I'm not so sure about that yet. I'll do a calibrate, reconfigure my phone, then see what kind of hours i'm getting.
Mhh only 6 dollar. that is quit cheap. The anker 1000mAh costs around the double money and more.
Is it possible to built such a battery with _over_ 2400mAh with that money?
Just be careful.
Im using the anker one too. Really great.
I'm seriously getting a huge battery life right now, and I am on the Anker 1900. I have one battery but I have configured FauxClock to underclock the processor to 1GHz + I am using Juice defender on the Advanced setting. Yes the battery does need to be calibrated correctly but it's incredible the difference these two things make to battery life.
I use the phone a lot and I don't notice any lag when it's underclocked.

I'm having this battery for like two weeks now, and I must say it's absolutelly fabulous. I'll post my usage results later today or tommorow morning. It's definatelly more than 50% increase of usage. Not a single problem with this one, and it was really cheap.

That is correct, I'm sure most of us spend a lot of time on the dev boards lurking, but in fact there is quite a bit you can do to make your battery life a lot longer without getting a new battery, aside from flashing a new rom and kernel. I personally have gone 20 hours with the stock battery, but that was with minimal use of course. One thing that increased my battery life significantly was making all my emails and updates C2DM, for instance. I'm sure there are a lot of users out there that still use email sync...
Here are my stats with ~10% remaining battery last night, before I went to sleep FB, LN, TW, Weather, 3x mail acc, all syncing as much as possible all the time, mails every 15mins, Whatsapp, Viber, GTalk, FBMessenger, ...
I'm super satissfied with this gold battery.

I'd like to buy it too, can someone else confirm that this is a good one ?
Is there temperature issues during charge ?
How many time does it take to charge it from 0 to 100 ?
Thanks a lot
yes please give more info on battery i want one as well

No problem.
Let's see:
Looks the same[label colour].
Same country of origin.
Same capacity rating.
I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Probably is a scam, I've bought all this junk. Experienced all this ebay bs. I would recommend people NOT to buy this crap especially this "gold" kind. If you don't believe myself and the other members that pointed it out, go for it. Learning the hard way normally works

P.T. Barnum said it best......
While using ICS Sense ROMs I have extreme battery drain when 3G is on. Battery level is like new year countdown. All syncs are off. There is no app that can cause this cuz I have a few apps installed. When 3G is off battery life is very nice. What do you think?

If you continue to get battery drain you can purchase a long lasting battery. I was getting huge drain and finally I broke down and bought a mugen 3500 mah battery. Now I can run for almost 3 hours at 100%! It lasts all day and into the late night without charge and I'm still conditioning it! Just received my battery 4 days ago! It's been absolutely amazing! What a huge difference it makes! It's a give and take though because it is required to change the back of the phone to fit the battery it comes with the battery. It's not so bad and back fits perfectly it just makes the phone thicker . But it gives supreme battery life so I'll take a thicker phone any day for the battery life I get out of this battery! If your tired of the battery drain I suggest and highly recommend getting a mugen 3500mah battery. It's expensive but I'm telling you it's so worth every penny! I have tried Anker and mugen 1900 and neither had delivered the kind of battery life I have now with my 3500mah battery! I wish I got this from the beginning! It really works! Finally I got a solution for my battery! If your serious about battery life purchase this battery. However don't get it off eBay or other site it could be counterfeit, go to mugen site and purchase from there. It takes about two weeks and arrives registered mail. Follow the instructions that come with the battery and you will be set! I just wanted to bring this option to your attention because it made such a extreme difference for me and my battery life I'm very pleased with it. So its something to consider if you continue to struggle with battery issues . It solved my battery problems. You might want to consider it. I hope this helped in some way and I wish you the best! Just know you do have a option. I cannot stress enough what a huge difference it had made for me and my device! I highly recommend it!

Hello,
I'm getting very terrible battery drain. It is fine when on standby. Ranges from about -3ma to about -20ma. But when in use it does sometimes like -500ma. I've just wiped battery stats and did a full discharge and recharge up to 100% without touching it. I'm using an Anker 1900mah battery. Kernel: Brick v1.4 Rom: Elegancia Sense 4 Hboot: 11.2

You can purchase a new extended battery.it SOLVED my problem with battery drain! Just make sure you get your battery from a reputable dealer. Too many counterfeits out their. I personally bought a mugen 3600 with new better signal back. Back includes antennas for good signal. I got mine from mugen, I can now use my battery ALL day and night without issue! I had tried EVERYTHING in the past to stop my battery drain, not much joy UNTIL, I got my new battery! I tried different kernels, settings , applications, but still had a issue UNTIL I finally replaced my battery! Now my problems are gone! The mugen is expensive but with this battery its really worth it! If you can't afford mugen try Anker. It's a whole lot less and still gives extended battery. It won't last as long as the mugen 3600mah but it sure will help with extended battery life!
The drain was my main issue!! After I changed batteries it was SOLVED! Don't buy off eBay , you can buy Anker off amazon, or mugen from mugen site. If you try all tips and tricks and still have your issue like I did. Changing batteries is the way to go. I can not stress enough how much it helped me! My battery drain was extensive! But now I'm using my device HEAVILY and can go well into my 20th hour with about 40% left at the end of 20 hours. That's a huge and significant difference for me. Before I could barely go three hours before charge! It's changed everything for the better for me! You really might consider investing in one for yourself! I don't regret it for a second! I really think it will help solve your issues. Once you get your settings correct, try all the power saving tricks. If still no joy, get one of these batteries! It will change everything for you! Especially the big boy, the mugen 3600! You won't worry about battery life again! And you won't regret your purchase! It will not disappoint! Best wishes to you and I really hope you consider my advice. I do really think it will help. I know it SOLVED my battery issue. Good luck! Remember to purchase from a reputable dealer to prevent counterfeit! If not the mugen, try the Anker. It will help. However if you can I highly recommend the mugen 3600 !its truly been amazing battery! They improved the back so no need to worry about signal! It's strong as ever with there new back. It does make your phone a bit thicker but for this battery life I'll take a thicker phone any day! You won't be disappointed!

Hey,
Thanks for the reply. But I bought the Anker from the seller on Ebay. That Anker have on their site. Plus I'm not willing to spend 100 dollars on a Mugen battery. It may make a difference but it makes the phone a lot thicker.
Thanks,
Lachy

Hi, I too get massive battery drain recently! I bought an Anker battery same as you from Amazon and contacted the seller, they are sending me a replacement so I will post back in this thread when I get it and do a few drains on it. I have had bad drain on CM10, AOKP M6, ViperS and CM9.
I'be been using Anker for more than a year and never had any problems with it. Imo there's a problem with yours, so yeah replacing it with new one should help, because Anker is a reaaalllyy nice battery

Had same problem, extensive battery drain for no visible reason whatsoever then i found a post on android central about Sensation and EVO 3D/4G having battery problem while switched to automatic network mode, both 2G and 3G, setting it manualy up to 3G only solved this issue for me, now Anker 1900 lasts about 2 and half day on standby. This did the job by me, so no guarantee that it will work by you, but its worth a try imho. Good luck
Alright.
Hey, thanks for the replies, what do I say If I want a replacement? I've gotten one before but only cause it was completely dead and not working/charging at all. So what do I say this time?
Thanks,
Lachy
Have you tried changing kernels? Or slightly under volting? It could help.

I basically said it was giving me false readings and it was impossible to know how much battery I had. I also said I used a bus app which used mobile tickets and before my battery lasted all day but now I have to turn it off to make sure I have enough battery to show my ticket. All of that is true btw, the seller I emailed on Amazon were pretty helpful, hope you have similar luck.

Alright. Will do. So if I say something like this. They should send me a replacement?
Hey,
I've recently been having a few problems with my anker battery, it's been losing a lot of charge while doing nothing. Just being on standby. It is also using a lot of charge while not even using it much. Most of the time it is only on about 45 percent by the end of the day with very light usage.
Is it possible I could get a replacement?
Thanks,
Lachy.
Something like that would work right? One quick question. When I get it I charge it up first then 4 discharge/recharge cycles right? Fastest way to do that?
Thanks,
Lachy
Yes and when you get your new battery you can drain it faster by watching video , playing games, pretty much any activity that's going to drain battery. Then charge to 100% without a break. Then do it
Again. Now that said, on my battery when I got it new it had calibration instructions, it said After discharge charge for full 12-14 hours even if it said full charge. This was part of the calibration technique.I'm pretty sure it would hold true for ALL batteries so after your discharge cycle you might want to charge uninterrupted for the 12-14 hour cycle then drain again and repeat 4-5 times. This was the instruction that came with my battery.(mugen) You might want to consider giving it a try and making sure the uninterrupted charge is At least 12 hours. Hope this helps and hope everything works out well for you. Best wishes.

Alright. I emailed them saying what I said in my previous post. Lets just hope I get a replacement. When I get my new battery I charge it to 100% then discharge or just start discharging?
Thanks,
Lachy
As I understand it, charge to 100 first then discharge, this is subjective. This was what the directions told me to do so I'm assuming it's correct procedure, although I've heard of others simply draining it from the start without charge. I would think the battery company knew what they are talking about so I'd go with charging to full first then discharge. I did this with my own battery and its worked out well. Best of luck to you! Enjoy your new battery!

You can also try a better extended battery. I was having same problem but got a better battery now my issue is solved. I got a extended 3800mah battery from mugen but if that's too big try Anker. Both are great batteries .I now get two days out of one charge . It's made a huge difference for me. You can find both batteries online. Anker is a whole lot less money and a thinner battery. But if you are a heavy user you might want to consider the bigger batteries. If you don't need that much juice go with Anker. Hope this helps.I know it solved my battery drain problem.best wishes!

I had the same issue on stock battery ( using vipers ). I had to charge it even two times a day. Could not watch a one hour video on YouTube (while brightness is set to max). Then bought anker 1900mah battery and my phone resurrected ! After whole day using battery still at 50&40 at midnight. I watch the whole episode of a tv serie on YouTube (almost two hours) and battery is still at 50&60 ! (ViperS 1.3.5) . When on standby battery drains one percent after almost three hours.
It's strange that you're having problems with anker.. maybe your battery have some problems..
Or you can change to ViperS just to experience if battery drain issue is still.

Battery Calibration
Hallo! Do i have to calibrate phone battery after each rom update? Thank you for help
Hi all.I really need to buy a big battery for my sensation and i found this battery .Anybody know something about this battery? Or i must buy a XE stock battery?I`m from Romania and there not found Anker battery and nobody deliver to Romania.Thanks!
If you are willing to take a risk, it could pay off or it could not. If you aren't able to get the Anker battery and don't want to take a risk, I would say go with the stock battery.

You won't risk anything with the XE battery. I had misread that and thought you were going to buy the 1520mAh stock one instead of the XE.

No no.I have an normal Sensation with 1520mAh stock battery and i want to change his battery with 1730mAh battery from Sensation XE.But i want to know if deserve the change.
Up.
I bought my replacement battery from dx.com and seemingly hit a lucky strike: it's supposed to be 1700mah, yet measures over 2000 in Android Tuner. Cheap, free shipping, pretty much ideal except for the ~3 week shipping time. Doesn't get especially warm, works perfectly, and capacity has only gone up in he couple of months that I've had it.

I really don't know - I'd guess an original replacement has somewhat better quality, but I'm not really finding anything wrong with this battery. The only niggle I have is that remaining battery capacity changes on reboots - it might say I have 30% left before rebooting, and then 40% after (I just made those numbers up, but they're pretty representative). It always goes up, though, so I never have less battery remaining than what I'm seeing. I'm guessing this might have something to do with the battery not reporting its actual capacity to the phone (from reading other threads, only original HTC batteries seem to do this), which maybe means the system has to calculate remaining capacity from other factors(?). Still, it doesn't really affect anything.
I've attached a few screenshots I just took, showing some stats and my current usage (as you can see, the phone has been pretty much constantly in use today, mainly web browsing, but some text editing and other stuff too. Always multitasking, several tabs in the browser, and so on. Wifi on all the time, auto brightness, syncing 2 google accounts.). It's currently running at 1728MHz, Badass @performance (918/1188/1728MHz), with [email protected] 320MHz 3D, 266MHz 2D.

Compared to my results,your is much better and now i`m sure will buy a repleacemant.I have the same "problem" with battery capacity on reboots and now i have original stock 1520mAh htc battery.So how you say,this not a problem.I search and i found original htc xe battery at 18$ with fast courier delivery.What you suggest,i must buy an original htc or this peisen battery?And thank you very much for very good explanation.

Yeah, I had the same problem - after a year and a few months my battery never lasted a workday even with light use, gaming could drain 30-40% in a matter of minutes, and it got ridiculously hot. I also got random reboots all the time. I concluded that the cheapest fix to try would be a replacement battery, and this solved all my problems
If you can get the stock XE battery at $18 including shipping I'd say that's a bargain, and you should probably go for it. Still, the Pisen battery is ridiculously cheap (and shipping from DX is free, if slow). If you can afford it, i'd buy both, try them out, and keep the least good one as a spare. Never know when you need one

Thanks for great reply.I will buy first a stock XE battery cause is an original repleacement and test it and after,maybe if not satisfied i`ll buy and a Peisen battery.Thanks again for help.
I am running an unofficial CM 10.1 ROM on my DHD and with 'slight' use I can probably get a full day out of the battery. Prior to the CM 10.1 ROM I was running a custom rooted ROM based on the final official android 2.3 ROM from HTC and I remember the battery lasting much longer (over 12-months ago). I won't be moving back to Gingerbread but want to improve my battery life and have seen good reports of the PolarCell batteries

Has anyone replaced their stock battery with one of these? Any comments?
Andy
Would be interested in knowing this also. Dont suppose you took the plunge and bought one?
Hi guys
I would be interested too on this question, or another battery brand.
Only want that someone with experience tell us if possible which battery and what brand/model is the best nowadays to buy to our great Desire HD?
And if you can post the link where to buy and maybe some buyer reviews, would be wonderfully.
Because are too many "Fake" vendors nowadays.
But for some questions that I asked to other few members and one recognized developer, they said that one of best batteries are:
First - Oem
Second - Mugen
Third - Anker
....
That PolarCell I never heard do not know =S
Cheers
I guess dhd battery is a pain in the a** for everybody, I suggest you to go for sensation xe, evo 3d type batteries. There are plenty of ways to do it (with battery door or without) I was personally using without battery door because I was already using silicon cover for all phone. Btw you need to apply a small copper wire for external wireless antenna which is already built-in with your original battery door. Search for thread in this section you will find Evo3d battery thread. I have changed to HOX but still my wife is using my beloved DHD with 1950mah Mugen. Believe me it gives equal amount of satisfaction for this money. If you don't want to spend that amount, go for original Amaze 4g battery (which has the highest capacity when compare with evo 3d if I don't remember wrong) still you will be satisfied with battery life.
Please don't ask me, which rom am I using or how is battery life. It depends on people and how they are using.
I can give several examples, heavy usage with all the time 3g, bluetooth, mail sync, whatsapp, viber, browsing, auto brightness but no games and no wireless: it will handle 1.5 day.
or
Moderate usage, all the time mobile network on, a bit whatsapp, several regular calls, a bit browsing, no gaming and wireless off. My wife can easily manage for 2.5 days.
One more thing, if you will have 1950 mugen, your battery will stuck at %15, don't panic it will stay there for at least several hours (according to your usage ofc). Its some kind of a bug. I don't know if somebody found a solution.
I hope, my reply will enlighten you a bit Cheers!
Been using a Polarcell since october 2012 from the manufacturer CellePhone: (http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B004I227RK)
New, it lasts the same as the original for me, that means about 3 hours of screen on with about the 70% of the total battery time, automatic brightness but mainly outdoors, so I bet that the auto brightness is actually full brightness the most part of the time, using 3G and no "data sync demanding apps running in background" except whatsapp and the usual google services.
I use to charge the battery every night while I sleep and even though I'm aware that overcharging a long time is harmful I use to let it charge until I wake the next morning.
With this usage schema, I'm facing today a 20% loss approximately, because the battery skips from 80% to 100% when charging.
So is more than a year of usage, around 400 charge cycles, and for 10€ is a good investment for me.
Being from a german company inspires more confidence than chinese clones.
Hope this helps to all of you folks!
A friend of mine picked one up and he had nothing but good things to say. I'll update this post once he replies to my text for exact details!
Bought one a few days ago from http://www.ebay.de/usr/wannsee-electronic (Germany).
The one i bought is for HTC Sensation, sold as 1800 mAh. To fit in DHD i remove the "film" and im surprising to see that on the aluminiumcase of the accu is written 1700 mAh.
Contact the merchant today and wait for an answer. So I didn't know it depends on Polarcell or the reseller...
I just got one myself for Desire S, it is a 1600mAh battery. Been using it for 3 days and I'm quite satisfied with this product.. I also bought one Anker battery for Desire HD....
I can't really compare those cuz its on a different device and different ROM. But I feel that both are doing fine for now..... You can give it a try.
Btw, Anker battery comes with full package, it comes with a box and manual.... The polarcell that I received just comes with a battery with no box, nothing else..
Maybe I would suggest you to get Anker.
Don't forget to use Battery Monitor Widget to see if its actualy a good battery.
I got one today for my old DHD.After couple days of usage I'll post and my opinions.

I'm very satisfy from this battery.After couple charges for 12 hours each now my battery seems very stable. I'm running 30 hours and more with enabled 3g all the time.30-40 minutes calls including viber and 2 hours and a half display on.I think that this is a very gods result for this product.....cost 13€ .
