Okay...?
The majority of the people here have rooted.

It won't help. I have deleted the batterystats on mine phone more than 20 times in the last 3 days and there is no change nor hope!

Let me rephrase by saying your ROOTED phones battery stats might be lying to you.
And for the guy who tried it three times and failed. I don't think you took the time for fully discharging the phone. That's right I'm calling BS.
Anyway got to go my battery just dropped 30%

Just wanted to let you guys know that this is completely true in my case. The other night around 2am I went to sleep with the battery around 68%. When I woke up 4hours later for work my phone was turned off. I then plugged it in and my battery was at 0%.
I was on the perfect storm Rom. I then switched to das bamf. Still happens. Tried bump charging and 0-100 charging and its helped but when I reboot the phone the battery shows about 7% less then where it was.

I think that is thy the stock battery icons don't show an exact %, b/c they haven't been able to make it work right. Don't worry though i believe that the devs will get it before HTC.

Ok my battery was just now at 50%. I restarted and now showing 41%. I don't know what's going on.

As I said, you can charge and discharge all day long, it won't help!

Thank you for reposting this. So sick and tired of people complaining about dropping 10% in a few minutes after a full charge.

I think this is a glitch. It drops like crazy after restart but then stays there until it "catches up" I guess.

So far,I have only rooted my phone, not a custom rom. I either have a crappy battery life, which seems better when I shut 4g down, or there is a glitch on the metering. My .02 worth.

[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?

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.

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...

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

battery dead?

Hi,
You should use your battery for 3 or 4 cycles (charge/discharge) before judging it.

Yes above post is correct. Please cycle 3-5 times before judge. I just received a. New mugen 3500mah battery
It's recommended to cycle 4-5 times before it reaches full capacity. I'm on first cycle. So far a hour of use still at 100%.but it won't be to full capacities until its cycled at least 4 times.also I read not to drain to zero percent before next cycle. Hope this helps out.also you can get a long lasting battery if issues still persist. Personally I finally broke down and got a mugen 3500 mah for my device. The back cover is pretty ugly but so far first cycle battery is amazing! That's what matters to me anyway. Phone may look a bit pregnant but great battery life is the trade off . So far its worth every penny. I was tired of having battery issues. If you do decide to purchase one. Purchase from mugen site. Also follow instructions before use device must be charged 12 hours even if showing 100% also instructions recommend never discharging to zero before next cycle of 12 hours . I hope this helps.

This is amazing

did you bump charge? I go down to 99 within a minute and 97 after usually 30 minutes with light usage after charging overnight. Of course the chargers don't keep the battery at 100% because that would damage the battery

I don't overnight charge...Once my phone hits 100 I unplug it and I'm down to 99 very soon after and down to 90 pretty soon as well

Right now I'm at 88% after ~4.5hrs unplugged, including about 30 minutes of streaming Top Gear over wifi.
I'm pleasantly surprised.

I'm having mixed results with battery life. Really good standby time at home, but not so great at work. I work in a low signal building. 1 bar LTE and 2 Bar 3G, but the 3G's data doesn't seem to work on any of my phones. I lose about 40% in the 6 hours that I am there. I guess the aluminum isn't so great in low signal situations?
