[Q] Massive Battery drain

Hello,
I've got a huge problem with my battery. I use the Android Revolution HD 3.6.11 with OC Daemon 1,5 GHZ. I've also installed the recommend radio and wiped my battery stats. CurrentWidget tells me that the average battery usage is about 53 mAh without Wi-Fi and 559 mAh with Wi-Fi. Also, the app "Wheres my Droid Power" tells me that 17,07 percent go to HTC Sense.
Do you have any tips how to fix this battery wasting ?
Thanks in Advance

I have the same problem, only the most usage of the battery is going to the Display and I don't know why. if someone could explain will be very helpfull.
I use the same rom and all.
my mobile HTC Sensation XE
Thanks

i have the same problem even though i'm still on 3.6.8 but i'm gonna flash 3/6/11 today

The best things I have found for battery drain is to make sure you do a full superwipe before every ROM flash, Lower the brightness of the screen (change from auto), disable tactile feedback, turn off BT, Wifi, GPS etc. when not in use (Tasker is very good), Also perhaps change your radio, if it's not for your area it could be sucking a lot of battery.
Hope this helps, but like i said this is what works for me, I also noticed that MIUI has great battery life and even now that im on ICS its great, Also just buy a bigger battery, I currently have 2 x 2450mAh, one in my cradle and one in the phone.

i have the battery drain problem alsao. i test with many different roms ,and Before install any rom, i always did wipe data/factory reset- cache- davik cache. Then format system. But it can't solve the problem. I monitor the battery with current widget app, and its log always show my battery drain from 60 mah to >200 mah (every 5 mins) when my phone in sleep mode (with : no auto-sync, wifi off, even data off, no gps, facebook, mail...is sync every 4 hours)...The lowest result i got is 9mah but it's not stable. I just don't know what is happening with my phone. Sorry for my english.

flash the bricked kernal thats the biggest battery saver tip.

What Radio Are You Running
I am having a problem and it started after I did the firmware flash upgrade and I was curious what radio you are running as stock. I am in Phx, az

I would download and flash the superwipe script before flashing any ROM rather than doing that stuff manually. Some users have reported that when they flashed the ROM again it sorted it out.
Deleting htc peep account in synchronization & accounts has also been reported to work in some cases.

1. i did flash super-wipe.zip before installed roms too.
2. i don't have HTC peep under synchronization, and never log in to HTC account
------------------------------
FYI, i am currently running OneICS 1.04 senseles rom. After i installed this rom, i fully charged my phone . 19 hours later with very minimal usage, my phone have 30% left.(screen up time is about 2 hour only).

What firmware do you refer to.
Sent from HTC Sensation, Elegancia ROM Series....

I also used Super Wipe before installing the ROM. And I never activated a HTC Sense account, aswell.
I tried the Energy ROM now and I have to say, the battery life is much better than in Android Revolution.

Had the same problem myself, that's why I switched to MIUI.

I thought there is no MIUI Version for Sensa ?

You mean no MIUI for Sensation? Maybe not for XE or XL but for Sensation (standard) there is one indeed! Take a look here: http://roms.miui.us/

Oh, I see. Thank you, I'll try that ROM aswell

Random shutdowns

So I've been running Elegancia Blitz 2.5.0 for almost a week. The first couple days, it was fantastic and I had no complaints. However, over the past two days, it's restarted at least 8 times and it's extremely frustrating. I thought it was overheating before but now it's just turning off even when it's not being used excessively. Is this a result of the new 3.33 firmware? Is there any way to solve this?

Hi,
I suggest you try Faux 008b7,which was made for firmware 3.33.

Alright, so I've been using the new Faux kernel for a few days, and I thought it was perfect until I got a random shutdown this morning . It also killed my battery from 96% to 16% although I've been using it ever since and the battery level has not dropped below 16% so I believe it's inaccurate. Hopefully this will be the last time.

you should try Bricked..i tried using sebastians but it wasn't the best experience, and faux didn't cut it either. lol

Bricked is a great kernel.are you sure your battery is not going bad? With a drain the size you had I would suspect that perhaps you need another battery ? If the stats keep draining quickly like that I'd look into perhaps buying another battery . I use a Anker long lasting battery and its been great . Sometimes when you keep getting a massive fast drain it is the battery causing it. Once you get your kernel squared away keep a eye on the battery for massive fast drain if it continues to do it, like 96% to 16% in an hour then I'd look into another battery also. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Ok, didn't know this...
But in the Description the Author says "Fast Stable - And Battery Optimizied"
In 3h 40min it eated about 6 percent... It means theoretically that one Charge hold 61h ca. 2 1/2 days.... It is normal ?

you could try flashing the new tweaked kernel 3, see if it helps, but all sense 4 roms I tried untill now had disappointing battery life, It does get better after a few days of usage but still not great

and where can i find the tweaked Kernel 3 ?

using nik rom for 2 days , and i can confirm that it's battery killer...but all the things are working very well, only bugg i found was a camre zoom, when i do that , camera is force closing ,and i can't turn it on , unless i reboot the phone..

I'am thinking about to flash back to Stock ROM ....
Cause 1 day for a full batterey is very bad, with the original ROM i easily made 2-3 days

Ur concept is fairly false.
Battery life span depends on the usage or screen on. I can use my phone for a 3 hours from 100% to 20% in the span of half a day, a full day or even drag to 2 days. Damn if I leave it alone I can even drag it to 3 or 4 days.

[Q] Battery life of One X AT&T

first i am sorry about my english is not good.
i have just flashed viperxl 3.2.6 rom and elementalx 5.3 kernel on my HTC One X AT&T 2 days. In conditions turn off all connections as wifi, data, gps... and turn off all aplication running in background. My phone lost 15% of battery capacity overnight (from 100% at 0h --> 85% at 7h AM).
So is this normal or not? Please help me

Does not seem normal to me. When I was on viper and elemental I only lost 3-4 % over night with data on

Sounds like you may have a rogue app that is draining the juice, I am on Viper 3.2.6 and get amazing battery life even with heavy usage

Try wiping everything and flashing viper again. Don't mess with it and you'll get good battery life.
Also let it settle for a few days

If you're s-off, I'd suggest to try different radios. 3.18 radio drained my battery super quick but flashed 2.20 and my battery easily lasts all day.

The battery meter is not accurate whenever you flash a new ROM. You need to charge to full, and let it drain to 10-20% or so, and repeat a couple times before the battery meter can be trusted.

interesting! I always do a battery re calibration after a fresh rom install.

each firmware has different advantages and disadvantages.But for those who are interested in battery life than the processing performance of the device, which firmware and kernel has the longest battery life?

None of them; there is no answer to that. Too many variables to just say "so and so ROM and kernel give the best battery life". What apps you use, how you sync/push data, how you use your phone overall, and much more all come into play and mean that everyone is going to have different results with every ROM. Plus, your exact location versus radio probably has as much (if not more) to do with battery life than just the ROM and kernel.

[Q] Which ROM for best battery life?

Hello,
it's been two years where I used my HTC Sensation the last time (I'm on M7 now) and now my mother want to use it.
Because I have absolutely no idea which ROM I should use for her I'm asking here.
At the moment ViperS 5.3.0 is installed, but my mother complains about the bad battery life.
So I'm searching for a ROM with the best battery life.
She is just using a weather app and whatsapp sometimes + telephone app, so no performance is needed and I think a ROM with Sense and a lot of customization like ViperS isn't needed ^^.
Which ROM/kernel would you recommened?
She did not use it very often, most of the time the display is turned off (for days), but the battery is still empty after 1-2 days.
Android 4.x or 5.x? CM or Sense?
Thanks in advance.

Okay, thanks for your answer.
I thought Cyanogenmod is easier to use and more battery friendly than a Sense ROM?

ViperS will give you the best battery life. Check if there is any application eating the battery. If the phone has been without use for long time also the battery may be damaged.

Okay, that was unexpected.
I thought a ROM without Sense is more battery friendly.
I will have a look at this when I have time.
