Pull my hair out!!!!

So,I'm so freaking tired of charging my phone 3 times a day (HTC inspire) so I flash different roms,without sense to try and save battery,and I get maybe one extra hour!! So it makes me want a different phone,and I try to think of a different OS so I install miui just to see if I can stand not having full blown android,and I can't. So I'm stuck at a crossroad,with no money to just buy another phone. What would you do? No one will trade me an atrix lol.
Sorry,just needed to vent for a minute

lol i thanked you for no reason x3
Ohwell.
Look every android i had wasn't lasting for long when it came to battery
Get miui if you like it.
download setCPU.
set the clockspeed down to something low but still usable
and set the screen off clock to something low
NOT the lowest since it could cause deathsleep. (not waking up)
Maybe look for an better battery too?
If you have more than one launcher then remove all widgets from the others!
(or unnistall them)
Oww there are lots of stuff you can do~

Lol with the inspire,you can't get a different battery. I've done every tweak,and still no prevail. I think I'm just gonna use payphones lol. I would trade my inspire for a atrix, or nexus s though

If it's battery life you want and also superb reliability with a veritable fountain of apps, get an iPhone 4. Mind blowing battery.

Try a low voltage kernal w/ smartass governor maybe.
Try a battery calibration app and LBE security app, lower display brightness. Limit the number of widgets and start up programs.
I run CM7 nightlies with faux's LV kernel overclocked at 1113 and have 4G + GPS enabled. I get at least 10 hours but more like 15. Good luck! Thankfully I don't have to limit myself or disable certain functions. I have a myTouch 4G

I run CM7 on my HD2 and it is sweet on battery also. Nothing even comparable to my iPhone 4, which I go several days without pulling it from my case and putting it in the dock to charge because I forget about it...lol, but it's certainly decent for a day's use.

I'm a pretty heavy user too, I constantly go over the 5GB data cap. I stream LOTS of music, constantly on xda, read my RSS feeds, email and text a bit. If I were you I would tinker I little more, but if you have your mind of the iphone then just pull the trigger and save yourself from stressing out

Well see if I wake up at 8am like normal,I'd like my phone to last until night time,but my inspire dies around 6pm. Im a hard core android fan,but I've came to grip with the fact that iphones aren't just a trend,its because its a smartphone you can count on. Ive heard iPhone horror stories,but maybe 1 to every 10 million android horror stories. Not baggin android,just sayin that for me,an iPhone may do the trick.

Battery Life test Results

I was pretty pleased with my results here, so I thought I'd share. This is done with both OC and UV and making use of the the 3500mah batt and with moderate/normal use.

I can get that on stock battery, you must play some games and leave your phone on full brightness at all times or something.

No, I play one game in particular, and I spend more time on the web on my phone than most people do on their computer. I could get that on a stock battery too, if I never actually used my phone Before the the changes I made, I was getting significantly less life. Especially with OC.

It looks like the moment you turn your screen on your battery life plummets.

Thats from Oc'ing to 1560 lol

It's more useful to post test results on a standard battery and standard voltages and clock speeds so others can compare. I've gotten 3 days on stock CM7 nightly before, it really depends on how much one uses their phone. The biggest clue to how a ROM or kernel affects battery is to look at the idle drain (maybe with data off too). It should be flat or with < 0.5%/hr drain.

Where'd you get the 3500 Mah battery you are using? I've been trying to find a decent maker for one.

[Battery-issue] is my battery life normal ?

hey guys! so i have an htc sensation one year 4 months old and the battery life is kinda " crappy " .
i charge it when i'm asleep and it goes from 100 to 85 in almost 5 min .. and if i continue to use it (heavy use) it can live up to 3 hours max !!
is that normal ??
or should i buy a new stock htc sensation battery or maybe u could recommend me a good battery that last longer ?
waiting for ur answers ^_^
P.S: i live in sweden ..

no it is not normal
you should definitely get a new battery
try to buy Anker or Mugen batteries
they last quite longer

Like the guy said above; buy an Anker 1900mah battery from amazon.com. Will give you roughly 20% extra mileage on stock. Also from my experience with this phone the ROM and kernel also impacts battery life. For the best battery life use the badass governor on battery saving setting and set the cpu between 192-1086mhz. As I don't game heavily and just heavily text, call, browse it lasts me a full day with brightness on lowest.

thank you for the reply , i use bruce's cm 10 with his kernel. and i don't game at all i can say .. but it's just the battery that sucks .. one question does amazon ship to sweden ?
Edit: just bought one from uk amazon thank you guys really

You're welcome Have you tried changing badass governor to battery saving in his init.d script? And turn off the capacitative button lights using kernel tuner. I'm using this set up and I get 4 hours onscreen time on the latest CM10 version

yes i've tried that before but no difference :| so i bought a new battery :good:

I would reset the phone and buy a new an OEM battery. You can use the 1730mAh battery from a Sensation XE(check eBay). I wouldn't recommend an aftermarket battery, since they are of lower quality that HTC made batteries.

I just bought the 1900mah anker battery from amazon . I'll try it and see

[Best Battery ROM]

Guys i am on my holidays and i play a lot of ingress currently i am on CM10.1 RC2, my battery is draining like anything so can any one suggest me a ROM that has a good battery and also a proper kernel which will go on with it. I dont mind downgrading but i need a ROM which has best GPS and also the best battery backup. I tried every ROM here and i get nearly 5 hours of battery that is all.
Please suggest me one ROM.

Try JellyShot + marmite

Smartass2/deadline 1000/100 mhz (only about an hour on 3g)
I was out today, and had screen at max brightness using gps for directions, playing solitaire and using 3g for FB, email ect... I only got 6 hrs battery with 3.5 hrs screen time.. I really didn't think that lowering the brightness helped that much, as I usually don't have it at full, but there is a huge difference.. Over 50% drop in battery life..

A simple rom with rich dark kernel
If u want the best battery from your phone consider trying Rasbeanjelly ROM with matr1x kernel.This ROM and kernel has always given me the best battery life though this ROM is not as highly customizable as aokp, paranoid android etc.

RC2 isn't that old (eaven if they pussed RC4 now), SO I'm guessing you dont have it installed for a long time, stay with it a couple of days and let the sistem calibrate the battery properly, after a fiew charging cicles it will be fine...if that doesent work try bb6 with marmite or helly 4.1.2 with Devil kernel updated

I've been frustrated with the battery, as I use this phone as my daily.. I recently bought a 3800 mah battery and get about 7 hours of screen time with moderate to heavy use.. I'm a bit more reassured now

Is that the extended battery?
The one that makes the phone fat?

Yea! Exactly that one.. But I don't notice it too much to be honest.. My thumb does most of my phone work.. And sometimes I used to be stuck phone-less, so for me the weight is a small price to pay

I too play Ingress, if you're getting about 5 hours of play time you're doing very good. Most people that I play with get 2 hours max as Ingress is a client heavy app. Remember that playing Ingress is like streaming a movie to your phone and running GPS. The data/Wi-Fi and GPS use a lot of power as they are always on with your screen. I have found that if I tether my phone to another device and just use Wi-Fi for data I get about another 30 min of play time, or if I just use the phone as a hot-spot I will get about 4 hours of play on my N7 with out recharging.

Battery saver rom?

stock rom for you phone i think have best battery save no ?

you could download es task manager to kill unwanted tasks that are draining battery

Actually not apps are draining my battery. Its the android os and the screen. Can I anyhow make the screen brightness even darker? When i put it to the minimum its like apple stuffs on full bright... 40% screen light on battery 14% os ...
