What about this battery? - HTC Sensation

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.

Thanks for reply.But now i`m really confused what battery is better:XE battery 1730 or this replacemanet.

If you could, post some results. Like how much it lasts and display hours during a cycle.

Hi.This results is after a low using of phone (5-7 min of facebook,few calls/sms and 5 min of gaming).Can see in the photo.I have perfect deep sleep but when i use phone battery drain a lot.Especially in games(5-10 min of gaming = 20-30% ).I have these settings:vipers rom v1.6.3 + faux kernel with intellidemand max cpu 1188,min 192,max screen off 486 and UV -50.

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

Thumbs up for the warning.
But...there is a saying that goes "if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is ".

I understand the battery capacity number is hardcoded in the HD, so even if it were higgher capacity, it would still show that.
If you have a multimeter or other specialised equipment, that's the best way. Also, you'll need to run a few charging cycles to get a good comparison.
But anyway, cheap ebay batteries are just that. If you search this section, you will see tens of threads about fake batteries offering high capacity.
The only geniune high capacity battery is Mugen's, there are a couple of threads already about this battery.
(or buy a power-pack/recharger, eg 5000mah for €25-30)
today shows 1176mAh but i will visit tv repair centre.they have better tools then me.i let u know

wow thats real ****...thanks for the warning...Ive heard issue on all the brands that make aftermarket battery...only the original HTC seems to be actually the best performing units.
Not only the stock battery is probably the best performing one, but also the safest. Always be aware of the expansion and the heat that cheap batteries produce. It can damage your phone easily.
As for the capacity measurement, if you drain/charge the battery with higher current, it will show less capacity. Still the measured 1176mAh is probably closer to the truth than the printed 1800mAh.
thanks man for the warning
bad results
after 4th charging still giving shorter performance then stock battery.i will stop at tv repair centre early in next week then post here their measurement.personally i won't expect more like 1200mAh

To compare the two batteries you should rate them in the same conditions. So if you can leave the stock battery with them to test them both and post the results I would be grateful.

is there any other seriuos alternative on the market?

Agreed, I bought one of these Andida batteries from eBay as well, had it in for a couple of months & i've now gone back to the original battery. In my opinion, it doesnt last as long as the stock HTC battery.
I´ve bought this battery last week over ebay and at the 1st day i was pleased, because the operating time with it seems better than with the original battery. But after five daily loading sessions the battery drain gets faster and faster. Yesterday, after 1,5 hours Angry Birds and a little time listening music it runs from 100 to 38%. Today i´ve installed the original battery back and i was surprised. After five days in the drawer of my desk it shows 99% accu state. I will stay at the original.
not 1800mAh
It has only 1170mAh
anyone find a good replacement with higher cap ?
Thanks for warning.
As far as i know there's nothing better then mugen's 1500 =(
Don't look just mAh's, they will not tell all. Also, if HTC's factory battery costs ~30€, who believe that the battery which costs 10 euros, can be better than the original..?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Hi, always replace a battery with that recommended by the manufacturer ...
I have a replacement desire hd battery. It lasts about 25% less the the original one, and it is set "to be" 1600mAh strong lol

HTC Evo 3D Battery confirmed and working

Hello everyone, confirmed the HTC EVO 3D battery works in the Sensation, the shell is exactly the same with writing on opposite sides. I also included the approximate difference in the batteries using BatteryTime Pro. Hope this helps someone with an alternate battery decision.
nice one...just flip it over and go? nice find...ill have to grab one now

No, It doesn't affect the phone at all...correct me if I'm wrong, the Nominal Voltage is 3.6v for the standard battery which charges at 4.2 volts. The operating voltage is 4.2v (fully charged) and 2.8v (discharged) That being said, your .1v makes no difference to the phone!
Does anyone have a good source to get these cheap?

I needed something on my screen that shows the percentage of battery remaining, I used it with my Nexus One, it works quite well with the Sensation too. With the Sensation you have to put in the battery mAh when changing batteries. How accurate is it? If you look at the screen shot above with the standard battery it show's 8:35 hours of talk time, if you look at the specs of the HTC Sensation at the HTC site, it show's up to 500 minutes which is 8.33 hours. I looked up the talk time on the EVO 3D and it st states 560 minutes or 9.33 hours, considering the Sensation might be a little more efficient, 9:46 hours might be spot on!

Netflix will do the trick. I used it last night to drain my Anker battery. It was at like 35% & took 45 minutes of streaming over data to kill it. Great way to get that first discharge out before you finally charge it up to 100%

I'm going to be devil's advocate for a minute. There's no way to tell the capacity of a battery by taking a snapshot of its current state. If you are telling the app what the mAh is and the battery is charged to 100% then it's making a calculation based on what you told it. It's not actually measuring the true capacity. The only way to determine the capacity of a battery is to fully charge it, then fully discharge it through a load and measure the current. There are no shortcuts, or apps that can do this instantaneously.
As indicated in several other threads the mAh stamped on 3rd party batteries are very unreliable. If you buy a real HTC EVO 3D battery then I'll say it's probable that the mAh is close to the rating, and your test would indicate you may well get more run time on the Sensation. If you buy some other battery then YMMV.
It is good to know that EVO 3D batteries will fit though. Thanks.

You know, I was just thinking abut that same thing. I was under the impression that you had to put in the estimations yourself. I wanted to use it, but I did not know how reliable my guesstimations were.
I use Juice Plotter. It does not do the breakdowns like the app in the picture, but it does a good job giving you a guesstimation. Once you charge it and unplug it it will tell you how much battery it perceives you have left. I primarily use it for the battery drain graph. That is the most accurate thing about it.
Nevermind. Please delete.
that app looked nice so i downloaded the lite version to try with my anker battery see whats the estimated time ...i had this battery for about 4 days works very well and lasts way longer then stock battery very please with anker battery, maybe some one with a CHICHITEC 1900 should check what results he gets

2450 mAH Battery - Anyone tried this?

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.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2450mAh-H...ltDomain_3&hash=item53ea3aaba5#ht_2882wt_1144
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.

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, ...

yup, same size with the original. It felt a lot better, few hours longer battery life.
E.g. : if you just keep the phone idle for 5 hours, it sill 100% remain.
sorry for my english

I bought this battery in 2011y on ebay that claimed to be 2450mAh but it was only 1400-1500mAh.
Original battery works for me (on JB ROM) around 18-24h, with this fake - around 20-26h.
Sry my english... =)
Buy batteries from a reputable dealer, too many counterfeit ones going around! I just bought mugen 3600 directly from mugen, it's been amazing! Highly recommend! It's worth the cost !

Just bought one in Spain from eBay too. 8.5 eur, free shipping. I'll discharge it first to 0( it came 70% charged), then I'll run nova battery tester benchmark and post results. The stock battery gave me 1420mah until the phone switched off at 1% on the long test of that app. Using pydx kernel, elegancia 5 rom.

Sorry, can't test it. This app shows me 0mah with that battery and always 25C temperature

How well does it perform compared to the Anker one? The most I've gotten out of my Anker so far is three and a half day, but that is without using it a lot. I find that it mostly depends on the ROM you're using tho, and due to that I prefer the sensless ROMs, because they seem to run a lot lighter than their Sense counterparts. But hey, that's my observation.

What's your screen on time?
Someone got 4 days, 2h40m screen and 45 min in call using anker battery.

Okay I want to put this business about bad battery life and battery bugs and all that jazz to bed.
Look at my battery graph. I rest my case.
Any battery problems are not with the ROM. It's clearly capable of having disgustingly good battery life.
That's 4 DAYS since unplugging with 8% battery life left as of right now.
That includes 2 hours and 40 minutes of screen on time
45 minutes of phone talk time
This is on the April 26th build. And this is the FIRST charge since flashing that build. So the battery use probably isn't even maximized yet.
My settings are OnDemand 192 - 1242
Anker battery
Auto Brightness is off and I use the notification bar swipe to adjust brightness as needed
Alterations made to the Google Services Framework to eliminate Google Wakelocks (this has nothing to do with Albino's code, hence it's not the ROM) Click here for more details
Greenify to keep other wakelocky apps on a short leash. (I'm looking at you T Mobile's My Account app. You're so useful but you think you own the place!)
Haptic feedback is off for everything. The only thing that's allowed to use the vibration function is the ringer (I don't use a ringtone, vibrate only) and reminder notifications. If you have haptic feedback on for every press on the screen and keyboard you are basically giving up battery power to run a small electric motor. That's not an efficient use of limited battery life.
Full disclosure. I don't keep mobile data on all the time. I turn it on as needed. And I've been very busy doing other stuff the past 4 days so there hasn't been a ton of use time. Obviously if I had been using it more it wouldn't have lasted 4 days. But if the ROM can idle for 4 days and not drain itself dry, then battery problems aren't in the ROM. They are with apps, settings, or user error. Albino's ROM can be configured to run for what may as well be for freakin' ever on a single charge. I'm half expecting him to add "sustainable cold nuclear fusion" to the changelog of the next build.
So if you've got battery issues, go buy an Anker before you do anything else. Even if you have other problem that will make everything better. And stop talking about battery issues in this thread. Come to the FAQ thread (see link in my signature) and ask questions about how to improve battery life there. We'll take all battery questions there with a smile and be glad to help you, where in this thread battery questions will be met with verbal beratement for clogging up the thread with whining.

dont mess with these batterys
they usualy fake, has a wrap that can be removed, and then you will see its says 1600~mah
the anker and mugen 1950 are real 1950 mah and the max power u can get without extending the case(anker is cheaper thou so its more recommended)

Battery too weak?

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
