[A]Overheat and Battery drain problem fixed (for me)

Hi everybody, it's been a while i'm trying to fix that problem.
My Sensation XE was overheating 'til 40 degreas sometimes (everytime).
I think it's not a problem with the kernel, or the rom, or anything else in the firmware... I follow some xda fans advices and bought a Saner 1900mah battery, and it simply fixed the problem, my phone never pass over 25,6 degreas it's the maximum i saw. That's for the overheating problem.
For the battery drain problem, my phone is running on the battery since 1 day and 3h 27m'' and i still have 36% of battery Oo. I up a screenshot

So i hope that topic will help, it was just 10 dollars for the battery... no too much..
Peace

I wanna get a extended batterie but do you need another backdoor for the battery ?? And also when you got it what did you do ? Like what steps youve been through?
Put battery
Let it drain to 0%
Then charge back to 100%?

Are you sure the battery temp actually works?
Does it just stay around 25 deg?

Nop no need a new backcover at all...
And yep never get over 25 degreas.

Does the ROM affect battery life as well? What ROM are you using?

And yes when i recieve the saner battery i used ut immediatly and wait to 0% then charge it all night long. You must do it to calibrate the battery.
Im using Ordroid 3.0.2 sense 4 but i dont think it affect à lot on the battery life... Im pretty sure its not... Just a bit.. à tiny bit.

Battery usage critique please!

Hi everyone,
Phone is Sensation XE.
ROM is Virtuous Insquisition 4.0.2 (using kernel that comes with the ROM).
I think i'm a moderate user. I dont surf or play games that much. I do text/chat quite a bit. However, my battery can never last a whole day.

by 7 or 8pm, i usually have to turn off Data, WiFi, GPS ect to save battery.
Can the phone last the whole day with Mugen battery? I've already purchased it. waiting for it to arrive.
Please advice,
Thanks

Yes it should get you through I bought the anker and it works perfectly no issues but I wish I could still get more juice because I am an extreme user lol...
Swyped From My Sensation.

I'm also an extreme user and anker battery helps a lot! What a difference from stock battery!
Not sure about the mugan I've never tried it.I'm sure it will help out a lot I know Anker does.

If you have all those apps up and running they will withoud doubt kill the battery life
The other poster are correct in that a better battery/larger capicity will provide considerable help
Are you aware that Wif uses lots of power looking for and trying to connect to wifi, so if its not connected switching this off help, also GPS is a grat battery hog and should only be on when needed
try without them on for a few recharge cycles and see
I recommend a quality replacement battery - try the Anker 1800 ma I get almost 48 hous of medium us - no GPS and wifi only on when I'm at home or work - it uses less power when connected unlike the GPS

[Q] Htc Sensation Not getting charged

any idea why HTC Sensation isnt getting charged.. As soon as i connect it to the charger the part below the memory and sim card get heated so much that u cant even touch it..And the phone is restarting on its own.The following msg that htc showed me "Ur phone is using more current than the supplied curried".Showed it to the local technician he say the board is fine and he cant repair it.. There are no authorized service centre in Mumbai.The nearest one is 200 km away.what should i do?
Custom Rom. ICS Rom.
No previous problem.First problem.

It sounds like you're plugging the phone into your computer to charge? Assuming the problem is not the cable itself shorting, it sounds like something with the phone itself. If you aren't confident in being able to take it apart and fix it yourself, and getting it serviced is not feasible, your best bet would be getting another battery and external charger. This way, you'd be swapping batteries and charging externally. Not sure if there's anything available to you locally...

No not charging with my computer. Its the normal htc charger and its original battery. The same battery work fine on my other sensation phone without any issue...I used an anker battery fully charged the phone started and the battery lvl started falling, within 5 mins the battery came down to red level and phone got really heated at the place below the sdcard and memory card location and even the screen side..The technician say that 90% when this problem occur its not possible to repair it..!!! i also tried using other battery and other charger but same things happen with it.

do you have custom kernel?
are you overclocked?
try to change kernel or underclock the cpu

Change the battery. If that doesn't help, the port is damaged.

Battery changed but still same msg... Port damaged? how to repair that?
Just uploaded image crc is it helpful?

I mean physically damaged. Just take a look inside where you would plug the cable. If anything looks amiss, its probably the cause of your charging trouble. You have two options, find a new logic boars, or find someone who will micro solder a new port on for you. EBay has more than one person who will provide that service.

[Q] Battery discharging issue

The last few months I have a problem where my battery would go from 20% to 12-11% to 0% just in a few minutes. I don't know what's causing this problem or how I should fix it. Did anyone have this problem and knows how to fix it?
Thanks.

Have you tried recalibrating your battery? That helps with the random skips in battery percentage.

What's the best way for doing that? Because I've searched in TWRP for wipe battery stats but I couldn't find anything.

Download battery calibration app from Playstore. Wait till your phone is completely drained and turns off. Plug in charger and dont disturb the charging cycle till its complete 100% and then open the app and press the calibrate button. Worked for me on several occasions after flashing roms.

Ok thanks. And will every calibration app work? Or what's the one you'd recommend?

I used battery calibration app by the creator NEMA. try out whichever works best for you.

I have the same problem with you but to be honest no battery calibration app worked, even the mentioned one. The problem is that your battery capacity got lower the last few months. After calibrating my battery my phone switches off from 20% to 8% to 0%. before that it was 15% ->8%->1%->dead.
the proper solution is to buy a new battery to be honest.
BR,
Thanos

I've just calibrated my battery but I noticed something odd. I read that when your battery is full it should be somewhere around 4200mV but mine is more around 4000mV. Is this OK? Or should the best solution be getting a new battery?
I still have my warranty until October this year. Would HTC replace the battery for free or isn't this a part of the warranty?

Is the cable loose in the socket of your phone?

try a different cable
although i never had any trouble with the official opo cable i did find out that certain cables don't let the phone charge very fast, even if you use the right charger
you can also always start an RMA request to get a new cable and/or charger if you are shure the problem sits there

I'm having a similar issue i get the feeling that it is potentially an app issue, however I haven't seen any thing in my battery stat reports so far. I plan to monitor it a little more closely this week to see if i catch any thing suspicious.

Turn your phone off and charge it that way, its deffo gonna be quicker but see if its much quicker. if so you have a dodgy app mate

I agree with this approach. In my case it seems to be app related, and from what i observed The prime contributor to the change in charge discharge rate is Spotify for my setup.
