I've run Cyanogen ROMS, Senseay, InsertCoin, and ARHD. I'm a pretty heavy user I would say, I get up at 6:00 in the morning, and my battery is usually dead by the afternoon if I don't charge it. To me the roms all seem the same as far as battery life is concerned. Anybody have input as to what roms have given you great battery life, any apps you have that help or what you do it improve battery life?
Thanks
Buy another battery? Im a heavy user and i get about 8/9 hrs. Lasts all day with moderate usage.

I've read a little somewhere about other batteries people buy for the sensation. Any ideas as to what those batteries are?
try miui! perfect battery life!
With light to moderate use on the newest ARHD ICS 5.0.2, I am still sitting on 55% battery life.. and i've been off the charger for 27 hours now using the anker 1900mAh battery. Make sure you match recommended radio's and rils.
Its the banker 1900 math battery. Its really good. My battery usually lasts between 12-21 hours.. i love it

Anker, Mugen, and Chichitec are the companies to buy from.
You can also buy an EVO 3D battery cause it's the same physical size but it's 1730mAH.

I tried many many different ROMS and so far none come close to MIUI / bricked kernel 1.6 combo. i get 2 days of medium/heavy use easy.
Any numbers on the drainage while on standby? May flash a miui rom soon if battery is really that good.

Mind telling me which MIUM ROM version you're running? I've never run MIUI and from what I see there is only one am I right? Most recent version is 1.12.23. If I run that with kernal 1.6 I should have great battery life? I'm not doubting you I'm actually really interested to try this, just want to make sure I get the same configuration as you have to see if I can get similar results. Thanks for the reply.
Also I have the normal sensation 4G not the XE, I noticed the bricked kernel V1.6 says XE, is that problematic with my phone or should I use V1.5?
I must say that ICS4.0 gave me much metter batt.life! im using ARHD 4.0.2 and using stock battery. batterylife is now better then stock ROM (android 2.3.4)
really think you should give it a try. (new firmware will give it even better i think, havent tried)
Try to wipe battery stats.

I tried most of the Rom Energy is the best for sense Rom. For no sense use miui but make sure do not install any launcher use the launcher come with miui.
If u r keen on sense Rom then make sure you have minimum widget running on home screen they r battery draining, try juice defender from market. Turn off auto update. Live wall paper will drain more battery as well.

I always update to the latest MIUI, currently on 1.12.23 yes. I have normal Sensation 4G and running Bricked_XE-Kernel-AOSP v1.6 on it. Works flawlessly!

I keep hearing any of the sense 3 ROMs will you superior battery life to any other ROM. Also I find when I'm on a sense based ROM my WiFi signal is stronger than cm or aokp ROMs. Right now I'm on cm10 and get OK battery life. Sense 4 is kind of laggy to me and I can't deal with it I like smooth ROMs . I'm hoping sense 3.6 won't be so laggy. I will probably try a sense 3.6 ROM and only use it for a couple days for some reason I switch ROMs alooooooooot.

Hi there I'm running viper now with sebastian 1.5.2 kernel with kernel mod for battery life. It's made a wonderful difference for me. Right now I've been searching web , visiting you tube, and on forums, and I'm on 6 and a half hours on my battery and I'm running at 79% right now. I'd say that's pretty good. I've done a few downloads too . It's much better than it used to be. I also use juice defender and have calibrated my battery. I know others have gotten better battery life than that but for me its a HUGE improvement . Before changing kernels and mod I was having to charge twice a day! I'm very happy with my results! The kernel and mod has made a huge difference for me personally! Hope this helps. Best wishes to you.

rooted stock ics with sebastianFM'S KERNEL as mentioned in my signature and i can hold my battery for 3-4 days.that's all
I decided to go with sense 3.6 Rom with stock kernel and sd cache hack for sense and -100uv script.

Hi everyone,
I have found best solution for my battery is OrDroid 9.00 ROM with bricked kernel (all default mhz's)
57% left - 17 hrs 30 mins since boot - 1 hrs 40 mins on Screen.
With every other ROM (sense 3.6) battery was teribly short - 2 hrs on Screen and Sensation is dead...
I would like to know, how long your HTC One S battery life is with different Roms.
There are so many different Roms and Versions on XDA.
Please upload your battery life at 10% and screen time in this thread.
I´m running on CM10 Nightly 20121001 from http://www.get.cm
I´ll upload my screenshots about the battery life bar this evening.
I hope, you can help me to decide, which ROM is the best.
Edit: so here are my screenshots.. (as a post)
86 percent at 12 hours.

I have turned off syncing and also uninstalled the Facebook App as this was waking up my phone constantly even though the screen was off! A factory reset after i installed the 4.0.4 update also helped i think!

Nope had 3g and wifi enabled The battery on this phone is just fantastic. To tell the truth I didn't use it much through those 3 days but even on heavy use I get about 2days and about 14hours battery life which is brilliant for any smart phone

mhmhm.. i think, that´s okay, cause your Wi-Fi maybe was on and let me guess, your 3G/Data was online, too..
Then try to turn on flight-mode..

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

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

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.
