[Q] Battery usage Sensation compared to other Android phones

My previous phone has been a Desire HD. Battery usage on this device while the screen was turned off has always been around 1-5 mA
On the Sensation batery usage while the screen is turned off is around 130-200 mA
I've tried various ROMs including stock.
Is everybody experiencing the same battery drain or/and can anyone explain the huge difference between these 2 devices?

the same numbers also here( 130-200 mA) i guess this numbers are not real because in 6-7 hours of standby the battery is emty... anyway htc sensation have the worst battery i ever had...maybe we get some good results with another rom battery friendly

My HTC Sensation's battery drains to 50%-40% in 9hr-10hr - with minimum use. All sync is turned of except weather and exchange account which set up to sync every 2hr - 3hr on weekends. Which is not bad comparing to SGS2, where i experienced terrible battery life 8hr max, but terrible compared to my HTC Incredible S, running with same settings i did see 2 days battery drain on one charge. I will put Sensation on proper test tomorrow, when i start my work.

Thanks for the quick replies
I'm just curious where the difference between 1-5 mA and 130-200 mA comes from?
I understand that the Sensation has a different feature set but this standby usage is outrageous..

Is this mA calculated by an app? It's well known that mA readings on the HTC Sensation with, e.g. Battery Monitor Widget, don't work. It's an archived thread somewhere on XDA forums.
Better way to measure it is this:
Leave your phone on sleep (screen off) for 2 hours or so (make sure the phone is actually in sleep mode!! If you don't know what that means, look for a thread on BetterBatteryStats as that could be your problem).
Then, find out how much of your battery drained at this time (make sure you didn't start the experiment at 100% because % battery is displayed extremely incorrectly between about 100% and 95%).
Finally, divide your battery capacity (1580mAh for stock) by the amount of hours the device was asleep by and then multiply the result by the % battery drained in that time.
E.g. phone asleep for 2 hours, 5% battery drained.
Average mA = (1580/2)*0.05 = 40mA

I dont experience any of the same battery issues... not that i know my mA draw.. but im going to start looking into. I can make my phone last easily a full 24 hour period with average use id say... But i froze all useless clutter apps no carrier or useless apps just what i use. I keep mostly everything off cept data randomly when im on irc/aim etc
Last charge 1d 10h and battery was at 49% :|
33% display
22% wifi
22% cell standby
20% phone idle
3% voice calls
Now didnt use phone very much in that 1d 10h though
found alot of useful information on this thread when it came to freezing apps i know there are a few tools in the development forum that will remove a bunch for you but i didnt like that method since i used some :|

I'll give the method you describe a go
Still strange that this battery seems to drains so much faster then my DHD although it should hold about 300 mAh more.

Why strange? Dhd has only one processor core and smaller screen resolution which should take less power to render, in theory at least.

The screen resolution should not matter in standby/sleep I suppose.
To be clear; I'm only talking about standby/sleep power consumption.
For the dualcore I would expect it to be around 10-20 mA compared to 1-5 mA. Not 130-200 mA..

Battery is atrocious no matter what radio, rom, settings whatever. Stick kernel, custom kernel everything. Straight up **** battery life on those device. Of course tour battery will last longer if you don't use it at all. But who got the sensation to just leave it I'm your pocket?!?
The future will bring better battery life on sure so we'll see

What kind of battery life are you talking about?
E.g. anything over 4-5 hours of screen on time is quite good. On standby anything over 24 hours is very good.

[Q] Why is my standby battery usage high?

Hi, I have just come over from the HD2 threads as I'm using a Sensation XE now . My battery current when running android on standby was around 7 - 20 ma. On my XE it is between 180 and 220ma. I killed all running tasks etc but still no change. i'm using Battery Monitor Widget to check the currents. The only thing i have on is mobile internet. I also have on background sync but that was on with my HD2 as well. Is there anything I should look out for that my being draining the battery? Also I'm on stock rom

What did you already tried to solve the problem? Did you already do a soft reset/wipe all data (except that on the SD card)? How long is your battery life?
Yesterday i called HTC because my battery life is reduced drastically compared to a few weeks ago. They told me to turn off everything like bluetooth, wifi etc (after a soft reset) and put the phone in plane mode while screen brightness was 100% and screen time out never so the screen stays on during the test. Next I needed to write down how fast the battery was drained. My battery was at 55% after 2 hours (without doing anything with the phone). According to HTC this was to fast and therefore they send me a new battery.

In 1 hour of standby the battery has drained 5%. the battery current usage is way to high for standby. I have had this phone on 3 days so I dont think i need to do a full wipe. I dont use wifi or bluetooth and they are always switched off. Seems strange to have a high battery usage while in standby compared to my hd2. This battery is meant to be a high capicity

use battery monitor widget (use a beta version from the forum, not the market). set it to "mA corrections" and choose automatic from the list of supported phones. i get anywhere from 5-7 mA drain (standby, of course).

Sorry, i changed to automatic and now it -40 and 60. Is it right now or should it be lower?

Hi indie.
How is your battery drain now? I ask because I have same problem (original rom) and I don't know what to do.

Hi, I'm on stock Rom too. Once I kill all tasks by the default task manager, it ranges between 25 - 60. It does take a bit of time to get there. I Have seen it as low as 19. You need to follow steps and get the beta widget and set it to corrections as mentioned earlier in the posts.

Same here, took about half an hour to go from ~-100mA to -30mA
However I can't seem to get 0mA when fully charged. Anyone else with the same issue?

Check out guide in my singature.. It will solve your battery problems in no worires

Just a quick update. I let my battery completely die (never done this before) and charged my phone fully. I then deleted the battery stats.txt and switched phone off. the charged some more. Now when my phone uses -5 on standby which it never did before.

Well took my phone off charge at 11.05 today and its been on standby. It's now 15.52 and battery is still on F. Battery drain is now at -3 so i'm well happy.

Thanks indie. Can you let us know what will be happening in the future with your battery?

Is the battery really that good?

Hi Guys, I'm considering buying the htc u11 plus, I'm in doubt with the pixel 2 xl and lg v30 (but only by battery) that is to say that the best battery will be my next phone, I am very excited about the battery of the u11 plus for its quantity of milliamperes. But you who use it every day could you tell me how good it is? How many hours of average screen do they have?

One of the best battery life a phone could have. I can go easily 2 days without charging with minimal use.. 1 day + normal use.

It depends on your usage. I get around 3 days and 5-6 hours of SOT with *my* usage patterns. I am a light gamer, but heavy chat on whatsapp, do lot of emails, corporate messaging, videos and monitoring apps etc.
My overall take on the battery life on U11+ for my use case is "Awesome!". Your mileage may vary...

I also think battery life is great, my usage is similar to devsk and can easily get 3 days with WiFi on all day. I could even stretch to 4 on very light usage.

I was expecting more, but still the best battery I have had. 5-6 hours of SOT and I think I'm pretty good at saving battery (no gps, mostly wifi not 4g, low brightness etc...)
I suspect the google xl 2 is similar or slightly better at battery purely down to software optimization. Hopefully HTC can improve over time with software updates

Mine started out horrible and I was very angry about it. I was barely hitting 5 hours SOT over 24 hours with medium brightness. Factory reset, let the phone settle for a week and now I can do 7 hours SOT over 1 day + 100% auto brightness. Can't complain now.

I'm very happy. Over the past week my average is 7h SoT over 48h - this is 50% auto brightness on WiFi and 4g roughly 50/50. This is my normal usage, few calls, lots of WhatsApp, reading emails, viewing IP cams, watching videos etc. No active display, don't think it's useful on LCD.
With a day at home on WiFi I maxed around 8h SoT over a day watching YouTube/Plex which I was disappointed by (thought it could reach 9h), but don't think I could use a phone more than this.. It's not realistic usage.
With light usage I got 3 days standby and around 5h SoT. I'm sure with some optimisation the battery life could be extended further. Should also mention I have the full Google location shebang going.

I've been getting consistently 7h+ sot in a day and a half.
Medium usage, mainly YouTube, Twitch, browsing and texting. Some light gaming, light camera usage, on wifi 90% of the time. 50% auto brightness.
So yeah, in the battery department this is the best phone I've had.

7h 15 min SOT, 23h since last charge, 24%, lte and location services always on, auto brightness; ffox 1h40, camera 16m, yt36m and Messenger which drained battery of my previous phone af (about 15-20% in background) 2% on u11+

There is a battery life thread on one of the forums, might be worth checking that out
I've had 9hrs+ SOT, over two days
It's about as good a battery life as you can expect IMO
I'm really happy, and it was one of the main factors I considered when getting this phone

I must be an extra heavy user because I can't seem to get an entire day from my U11+.
I do have everything synced though plus wifi, bluetooth and nfc on all the time. I use it for internet, youtube, netflix , some gaming and messaging so I suppose it gets pretty well-hammered throughout the day Apart from that it's a fantastic phone.

Yeah, that's pretty heavy usage
On the best days, no NFC or Bluetooth for me, WiFi on
No gaming, butt loads of messaging and calls
Also, I have it on battery saver if I know I'm not going to use it for over an hour, and always battery saver overnight

I'll try switching off NFC because I hardly use it, see if that makes a difference.
Also, it seems obvious but I haven't tried using the battery saver overnight. Makes sense!
Thank you

Depends more so of what you're doing. How long have you had the phone for? I didn't get great battery life until things settled down during the first week. Leaving bluetooth and NFC on shouldn't be the main cause of battery draining but I would say make sure background bluetooth and wifi location scanning is off because that WILL drain a lot more. It is in the location settings menu

This is just my first week with it. I've changed the Bluetooth and WiFi location settings now so thanks for pointing me in the right direction

Changing those location settings has made a big difference - I've gone the whole day and I'm only at 50%. That's excellent. Many thanks for the heads up ?

Question Battery draining too fast.

I had this phone for about a week now. Got used to all the features. Did all the things needed to calm the draining issue. But no budge. I've drained from 85% protection battery on to 65% upon waking up. So much faster drain from my old s20 ultra. I'm sure there will be an update. The more we talk. We all should comment on Instagram comment section.

And do you think that doing a hard reset and setting it up as new can improve the battery?

I lost 5 or 6% overnight, and after last week's update that's been reduced to 3%
I have poor reception at work and even there I have way less drain now, so I'm a happy camper.
Sounds like some app(s) that are draining too much battery imo.

Would probably help if y'all uploaded screenshots of your battery graph. i'm getting 9.5 hours SOT at FHD resolution with Power set to Optimized. I also use the Samsung Browser and not the Battery Hog Google Chrome Browser.

You should check which apps comsume battery too much, then decide what to do next.

When i first started i weren't happy at all with the battery drain. It barely used to last with 5hrs or so of screen on time! (Light usage too)
After the first 4 days it got better. I used an app called Alliance Shield X, which i believe helped me a lot. Now I'm happy with my battery drain.
Edit: Also the Galaxy Max Hz App.

Alliance Shield X helps to disable packages, create firewall, adblock, etc...
Galaxy Max Hz allows you to adjust screen refresh rates (highs and lows), and a few other settings like lowest hz on screen off/Aod refresh rate
Instander is just some 3rd party Instagram with additional features, lol. I don't use it a lot so i can't say for certain, but looking at the stats, it seems to be a decent drain

Question Standby battery drain.

Hi. What kind of battery consumption do you have overnight?

On custom Roms plus like Battery Guru - anywhere around .3%-.5% idling. But even on like Beta + battery guru it's about .5-.8%. Straight beta with no root etc - about 1 - 1.5% - so android has it locked in pretty good imo.

Is that per hour, or total?
I saw this thread last night before bed and decided to check for myself. Phone was 63% @ 10:30 and 59% @ 7:30, so 4% for ~ 9 hours of standby (about 0.45% / hour).
Probably not the typical user, I have zero social media installed and get few texts overnight. I had only one this morning, spam about my Amazon account being locked (yeah, right). The only app that always runs in the background is an email program that checks two POP3 accounts every 15 minutes.

Which is why I mentioned the things I thought relevant to create potential differences. There are probably more, but I would imagine they have diminishing impact on battery drain.

Normal drain on any build should be ~0.4-0.6%/hr. AOD will bump that to ~1-1.5%/hr. Anything more than that and you have something going on with an app, setting, or something else.

At my place, the consumption is 4% from 11 pm to 6 am. Is it possible to go lower? My Nord 2 used 2% max for the same amount of time. Often it was 1%.

When I get super low readings - sometimes like 2% drain over 10 hours...I tend to think it's more of an estimate that's skewed. I don't think in reality I'm ever really getting it that low.
The above averages are about right.

Maybe we need a 'rooted w/ batt tweaks' thread too...be interesting to see how much can be shaved off with various settings 'tactics'.

In Nord 2 in OxygenOs there is an option to additionally reduce the phone's activity during sleep. The phone then does not respond as often to notification detection. Maybe that's where the 2% results come from.

I get about .3-.5%/hour overnight on @stebomurkn420's crDroid.

3-5% per hour?

Javcek said:

Turn off cell data always active. If the screen is off it should sleep regardless of the signal.

There's a ton of apps that help with battery life and I like battery guru personally...but honestly, I tried just keeping my phone in battery saver mode and didn't see a difference in performance. I don't use it for gaming etc. so I'm pretty low tech...but just that was pretty killer if I remember.

So then when would my notifications come through? Only if I wake the phone, or does it still check for notifications every 5-10-whatever minutes?

That will be app specific. If you live on low signal cellular only (ie no WiFi) then just expect bad battery with this phone. The modem in these is inexcusably bad.
