Yes Another Battery Thread! I KNOW. SPAM. but well, not 100% Spam, But also reasonable.
I have a brand New Sensation XE, Proper S-OFF with all the Fun and Boogie-Woogies.
But Since going from Vipers ICS Roms, which i tried at first (but which ate too Much Ram, and I'm a AOSP Guy.)
To Cyanogen Mod 10.1, And on 3g my battery goes down in like, yes what, I guess an Hour. then its dead. is that Normal?
It wasn't as Terrible on sense. I just wonder? Any smart Android-Hero's to explain?

I think its kernel related, cz on cm 10.1 my phone used to stay at least a day on 3g, so its the kernel or the battery, try flashing stock kernel or another kernel if nothing changes u should get ur battery replaced

So, I Tried Doing a FULL, Wipe, and flashing cm10.1 (the newest i could get.) and that one aosp kernel everyone loves.
Still nothing, sadly... running on 8xxmhz for both cores, Ondemand, Sio.

Damn Boi, I'll look into my 2450mha (said to work perfectly, and fit under original cover.) and Continue using CM.
I get 3 days easily on albino's cm10.1 aosp rom. With an banker battery.
So the ROM isn't the problem. We have hashed battery life questions to death in the ROM's development thread and the answer always comes back to user settings or faulty hardware, usually the battery is just old.
But battery life does NOT suck on all non sense ROMs. That is just bad information.

Good, Lets get You that Information then.
The device is an Fourteen month old Sensation XE, with that 17xx Battery.
I bought it two weeks ago Used but Just as new, Not even Tiny pocket scratches.
It was Pre-rooted and s-off using the Wiretrick by the Preowner.
Its now Running Albino's CM10.1, (03~05).
My CPU is Clocked at 15xxMhz and 398 Min I believe,
GPU's and stuff Aren't Changed. Its on the Ondemand Governor and SIO I/O Thingy.

I Go from Home Charged Everyday, with an HTC Certified dock,
I get from the countryside into the city and Jump onto 3g, the battery stays for a five minutes on "Charged" and jumps down to 95-80-7x and Finally 65 where it takes a little break, that goes in well, an half hour. Then i mostly get really Upset and angry at HTC and Cry out to my Friends with better phones telling how **** mine is, Now i'll get my replacement Batteries and see, I'll instantly report here how they all each Did.
Wish me Luck Developers!

Your battery is old. That's probably the problem. Use the Banker battery when you get it. That's the sollution. Also you are clocking the CPU pretty high. If you dont have a specific reason to run it at 1.5ghz as the max like gaming or something, back it off to like 1.2.

Yes. Its high.
If you have a specific need for it to be that high, go ahead. That's 1.5 is what the chip is designed for. It can handle it. At 1.7 you are pushing it pretty hard.
But those speeds won't do anything to improve the performance of everyday use like sending texts, making calls, or even in games like angry birds. Ifnyounplay more graphically intensive games, those speeds will be helpful. If you don't they are a waste of battery. Either way though they are using more battery at those speeds, whether you needs those speeds or not.
Backing it off to 1.2 will prevent the device from 'kicking on the afterburners' and dumping battery fast when its at max CPU. Again, if your performance suffers then this isn't the answer for you.
You will also want to use the on demand or badass governors to keep the clock speed regulated. An governor like Performance will keep the CPU running at top speed all the time. The phone will run great, but the battery will die in a hurry.

Well if you need the extra performance then you need it. But the trade off is always going to be decreased battery life with that. Nothing can fix that. Its not a bug, its physics. It takes more gas to go fast.

+1. If you take a look at the manual of your battery, it will say something like "500 recharge cycles over the life of the battery" (this is from the ANKER 1900mAh).. that's around 1,5 - 2 years of use. So depending on how often the previous owner of your Sensation charged the phone, the battery could be dead now.
New Battery
Instead of an "Anker" i got an Pisen Battery, said to have around 1780mha but actually is 1870. It works Perfectly and i get six hours screen on time now. it just still goes weird, and sometimes stays on 72 for long and 39 for long, but works just fine still. Just not a really reliable Percentage. I get to test 3g time tomorrow. Hopefully more than one a half hour and burning hands.

It would be a value somewhere that could be changed but will require some digging around and probably root access.
Perhaps the limitation is built into the camera app itself. Does this limitation occur with any 3rd party camera app?
This limitation has been the same for all HTC phones released in the last 12 months or so. My old Desire HD used to do the same thing when the battery was "low".
it is pretty annoying, im sure a developer will find it soon, just needs a little digging around like jivemaster said.
Yeah, it is annoying. Gotta have your battery charged in case you go out at night I guess.
oh alright then
It is very annoying for me also. I usually go out for half hour and have 30-40% battery charged so mostly it goes below 30% and not having falsh enabled is a big mess. Since I am a photography lover & I love to capture precious moments. Someone should come up with with a way around.

I had same problem. Solution for me was upgrading to latest ROM (2.3.4 ->1.45.401.2 ) ofcourse original, HTC ROM, because I bought this phone for sense 3.0 (i don't know why people write new ROM without sense and say ... My ROM is better... There is something wrong with them...I think.. ...

Flash a custom kernel. I know faux's kernel's have lowered the limit to 10%.
Controlled by the kernel.
Some custom kernels lower the threshold (as long as power saver is off).
Check the Sensation Development section and read up on kernels.
Faux and Bricked both offer lower thresholds, I believe. Check Unity as well.
The features and changelogs will be in first or second post of Kernel thread.
P.
I think it is great idea! What if you got ALOT of stuff to backup, and flash at the same time, and suddenly the battery runs out.. Think about that.

Don't do gpu over clock then.. That will cool down your device a bit.. Also.. Try some under volting the kernel (there is a uv mod.. You can use that) .. It prevents heating a bit too

You should try that for yourself because not every device can handle every voltage decreasing the voltage makes that there is not so much electricity going trough the CPU you save battery and your battery is not overheating so fast

Mine did too with both stock and ARHD roms. Thought its the battery getting getting warm for the longest time but it turned out to be CPU/GPU. I'm using Viper S now and do not overclock CPU/GPU. Works well and heat is down significantly. Still gets warm occasionally (GPS, Browser, Google Now) but not as much and battery last longer.
I tried Vipers S Rom but everything ran VERY choppy and what govner do you recommend to get that cold GPU/CPu effect?

When you try different ROMs and have query ask in the right ROM forum. You'll have a better chance for a right answer.
There isn't a tremendous amount of things you can do to bring down the temperature significantly. As everyone said, under volting, and under clocking can do a little bit.
It isn't a big problem, because it shouldn't pass, from what I remember, 43-46 degrees Celsius. Of course it will vary with what your doing, playing games will make it hotter, especially if you are in a hot environment.
Don't worry too much about it.

Hey guys, just wondering what everyone's thoughts on the variety of kernels for the new viperS rom. What are you all using and what is your performance, fluidity and battery life like? What kernel or rom mods are you using and why? What effects are you achieving?

The first one one the kernels download list in venom hub.
ondemandX 192-1188
undervolt of 100
gpu2d/3d by default..no oc
disabled location, gmail, and other htc apps/services
no facebook, twitter or any similiar active programs.
I'm running the same kernel with no over clock or under volt of any kind. Location on, Facebook on, what's app and viber and 4hr poll on exchange mail. Wifi on and 2g data when Wifi not available, 83 per cent after 4 hours and 20 minutes standby.

I use faux atm. Phone runs much smoother, but my battery life was hit hard by this...
Think the next kernel I'll try is the forbidden one.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
I must agree, faux is definitely the smoothest and snappiest kernel, at least on my phone, but same as you, battery is hit hardest, but I find hardest hit on standby, but reasonable on active usage.
SebastianFm is, on my device, definitely the most stable, but less modded. A nice simple kernel. Coupled with the flashable aroma mod from iba21, it's extremely battery friendly, yet still satisfactory in performance.
Bricked with its flashable mod is also very battery friendly in idle, but I find it hits hardest on active usage.
Pyd kernel, although I've read good things about this kernel, I don't really fancy flashing boot images and the like, so I can't comment on it personally. I would like to hear more on this kernel though, from active users

i am using Faux10b7. At 192 min 1566max cpu

Everything is smooth. Phone gets heated only when playing games.
i agree using faux is the best for performance, no lags and delays, everything is smooth... been using the forbidden one just moments ago, so far it is good, but remember to nandroid backup before you install and try different kernels esp. the forbidden one.

Hi all,
just wanna say that I'm finally fully satisfied with my phone in it's current state.
I used to mess around with different ROM's, ARHD, CM, elegancia. Untill now none of the setups managed to yield a stable an smooth working phone. I had poor perfomance, random shutdowns and poor battery life (especially when I used CM9 I couldn't get it to stay unplugged for more then 7 hours). tried everything in the book to make it work. Up to the point where I was starting to regret that I rooted my phone.
untill now, I made sure the contacts with the battery is firmly attached, I installed CM10.1 (need to adjust siggy) and now my phone is finally kickin. It's rock stable, smooth and fast! At night, with WiFi on it's actualy idle! it's like losing 1% battery in 10 hours. With JB and perfomance governor the UI transitions are just eyecandy smooth. I guess the main problem was the battery pins, think they weren't attaced properly.
With no shutdowns, no battery drain, fun with CM tweaks, UI altering capabilities and a Quadrant Standard score of 3301 I've finally got the feeling that I'm on the pinnacle of my phone's perfomance capabillities.
With provider subscription prices skyrocketing in my country, and my phone in it's current state I'm eager to keep this phone another year with a sim-only subscription.
so thanks all for the help

the 4 pins that connect the battery to the phone. I stuffed a piece of paper between the upper right corner of the battery and the phone battery housing. This way the battery will be pressed more firmly against the pins to ensure better contact.
Glad to hear you are happy. I would love to be able to use CM10.1 based ROM's but sadly, I need my TMobile WiFi Calling support. Hopefully, TMOUS will release a JB friendly version of WiFi calling... until then, its Elegancia for me!

Exactly like you, I have tested a lot of roms, and the best one for my Sensation is CM10.1 4.2.2 by Albinoman!
My governor is lagFree, because I don't think it's good for the phone to be on performance all the time (maybe I'm wrong!). With Atom Launcher, it's the best compromise (personal experience) for a smooth and fast Sensation.
okay couldn't find an off topic thread so I'm posting here ! Okay my phone is S-off, blackrose hboot running jellybean. I understand the process will be similar.
Okay so my mate has an XE. Will the methods be universal? He has a stock, ill find his hboot later. I'm guessing a HTC dev unlock is possible ? Then I flash the boot image. ( fastboot flash boot boot.IMG ) Also could I have an idea of a nice smooth and stable Rom?

XE is nothing more then a normal sensation with OC'd CPU, different battery and beats audio pre-installed.
So I guess you want to root a stock, locked bootloader with S-ON Sensation XE and flash a custom ROM? If so any of the different ROMs in android development section are smooth and stable ROMs. It depends on your preferences, do you want sense or no-sense, Jelly Bean or Ice Cream Sandwich?
HTC dev unlock is possible (without getting S-OFF). But that depends on what the current hboot is right now. u could for example also run the juepunutbear tool and install that hboot to get unlocked bootloader.
look up the hboot info of your mate's XE and find the apropiate method to unlock, flash recovery and custom ROM in any of the guides on this board. Depending on what kind of FW you're running right now, and what FW you want to be using you might need to update it.
can't really say if a proces is similar if we don't know what kind of FW we're dealing with.
THANKS, I'm not sure what you mean by FW. However I know how to flash and ill give a look at that s-off tool. I'll find his Hboot and report back. He is on latest ics so I'm guessing its newest. Yer I switch between sense and AOSP. So ill look and find what he wants . Thanks for your help.

Man, all I know is that I switched to Viper S for the week after using CM10 for half the year and couldn't deal. I like sense, but the trade-off when it comes to lag just isn't worth it. Yes there's a better camera and better signal without question, but boy was it laggy. Had to reboot so many times because I thought the phone just froze up. Can't go back from jelly bean now

Hi all,
just wanna say that I'm finally fully satisfied with my phone in it's current state.
I used to mess around with different ROM's, ARHD, CM, elegancia. Untill now none of the setups managed to yield a stable an smooth working phone. I had poor perfomance, random shutdowns and poor battery life (especially when I used CM9 I couldn't get it to stay unplugged for more then 7 hours). tried everything in the book to make it work. Up to the point where I was starting to regret that I rooted my phone.
untill now, I made sure the contacts with the battery is firmly attached, I installed CM10.1 (need to adjust siggy) and now my phone is finally kickin. It's rock stable, smooth and fast! At night, with WiFi on it's actualy idle! it's like losing 1% battery in 10 hours. With JB and perfomance governor the UI transitions are just eyecandy smooth. I guess the main problem was the battery pins, think they weren't attaced properly.
With no shutdowns, no battery drain, fun with CM tweaks, UI altering capabilities and a Quadrant Standard score of 3301 I've finally got the feeling that I'm on the pinnacle of my phone's perfomance capabillities.
With provider subscription prices skyrocketing in my country, and my phone in it's current state I'm eager to keep this phone another year with a sim-only subscription.
so thanks all for the help

The Sensation is nowhere near its max potential
Once ION is fully functional (camera working with ION, framebuffer driven by ION, etc.) then the Sensation will be near its max potential.

i saw that you said with ion on there is only 430mb ram.
is that enough for JB or Sense4+ for muti-tasking?
sensation with sense 4.1 have a poor muti-tasking ablity even with 580mb ram.

More RAM goes to ION instead of userspace in order to improve graphics and audio quality.

hi guys,
overheating is a known problem of the sensation, and lots of people gave advices on solving this problem,here are the methods i tried:
under voltage
underclock(to1000Mhz)
buying a new battery
take off the case
etc....
but.....these methods DIDN'T WORK.
i dont play games at all,just use 3g data to browse the web and whatsapp and the phone just heat up instantly when i turn it on.
is there any possible methods that can keep my phone cool but i dont need to take it to the north pole? if i cant solve this annoying problem,i'm gonna buy a new phone.
if i really need to buy a new phone ,which one should i choose?i dont have much money
#HTC ONLY#

thanks,

What's your ROM and kernel?
You should try different kernels and see how they work.
If you want a new phone now, I would probably buy the HTC one. Otherwise I would wait until the middle of may (to see what Google had unveiled at Google IO) to buy a new phone. Android 4.3 is supposed to be unveiled

thanks for your replying
i have tried many rom,such as arhd,viper s1.6.3, 3.0.1,miui jb....and i am now using albinoman887's cm10.1 apr26 build(without changing kernel and underclock to 1080mhz, 2d gpu200, 3d gpu 300).
and for kernels:sebsation's overclock,sultan kernel(sense) ,brick,PYD-X
hboot1.27,s-off,firmware 3.33
but i think is my phone 's problem,because whatever rom or kernel,i still need to put it into the fridge frequently.
btw,i have heard that the one x also have the heating problem,and its tregra processer seems slower than other processer(snapdragon ) running the same frequency. can anyone using the onex/x+ tell me if these problems exist?

I have same problem with my HTC z710e it over heats. I feel it's d nature of d phone. Cux I am using viper now. Was using arhd ... I will send a screen shot of my about phone now

Lol...40 c is nowhere near overheating... Overheating is like 50 C. Going up to 46-48 C is normal when you are gaming. 44-46 C is the range when I browse the internet/YouTube.
Anything above 55~60= sensation explodes
@sunnytse1 what is the temp of your battery when it "overheats"?

Ouch. Okay. But sometimes it gets hotter than 40. Like 46 upwards. Besides my battery last for only 3 to 4 hours when I browse d I get Dr and Twitter. Fb. And shii
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
I think 46-50 is pretty normal for heavy internet usage, but anything above 50 you should definitely give your sensation a rest because it can automatically shut down if it's too hot. Also, I wouldn't over clock your phone past 1.5/1.6 GHz.
3-4 hours on a stock is decent. If you need a better battery, I would buy the anker 1900 mAh. Since the stock sensation battery is only 1520 mAh(which is terrible), it's not that surprising to see it last only 3-4 hours. Your battery life also depends on the age of it. I would consider changing a battery if it is 2+ years old...

I'm not talking about battery overheating,but the cpu.i use kernel tuner to check the temp. ,average is 60c,and the highest is 83c.battery temp is always incorrect,25c????!!!!(what the hell?!?!?!)
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
Lol... 83 C? Is that even possible?
Can you post some screenshots?
I think 60 C is fine for the CPU processor, since the battery is only at about 41-42 C. The CPU temp should be higher than the battery temp so I think 60 is fine for the CPU. On the other hand, 83 is way too hot.

Well, like I said in my other post, there's a difference between CPU temp and battery temp. as long as your battery temp is not more than 60.
Of you want to keep your CPU temp low, then don't over clock your cpu too much ( or don't over clock at all). Also, don't overclock 2D or 3D GPU either. That might help lower the temps.
If you are getting crazy number for your temps 25 C for battery, I would try to erase battery stats in recovery mode (4EXT) even though people say that erasing the stats do absolutely nothing. Hopefully that helps. if that doesn't work, I would try sultans kernel with aroma installer so that you can customize your preferences.

Hmm... have you tried different ROMs? what about formatting all partitions and reflashing the ROM?
I'm running out of ideas... The last I can think of is full/partial wake locks, but that is not completely relevant either. See if you have a certain app that is constantly running in the background. If you need a helpful app, I would try wakelock detector from the Google play store...
