I switched to samsung about a year ago after having htc phones for years mainly because I was disappointed with the battery life.
Has it improved at all or do the latest models still only last about a day with light / medium use? (bluetooth on, phone calls for 2 hours tops, gps for 30 mins)
I think this board only talks about HTC devices.
But today the battery life of the devices are smaller, because the OSs and applications are using too much the processor.
I'm asking about the htc models. I'm a bit disapointed with some of the samsungs hardware and features (even though battery is great) and am thinking of returning to the htc brand, just wondering if the battery life has been improved on the later htc models.
Thanks
Huh, sorry.
They are improving with the use of the new Snapdragon chip set like on the HD2. See the Leo section for it's battery comments & details...
battery capacity of the smart phone always is a problem due to its high processor usage !
i think it is a good idea to return to HTC from samsumg, at Andriod in HTC is more attractive.
Did you ever consider to buy an extended battery for ur high usage?
So I'm enjoying my overall experience with my Sensation but it's really not cutting it in the battery department. I've upgraded from the G1 and the battery life isn't any better. The G1 was great for a while but after being 2+ years old the battery would barely last a full day with minimal usage and every setting off, I could no longer take it. It became so frustrating I had to upgrade for mostly that reason, not to mention the lack of features, and the fact I've had the phone since launch lol. Needless to say, I feel like I'm having the same battery issues as before. For instance I took the phone off the charger this morning and started reading some post here on XDA via the app and after 1 hour and 36 minutes my battery life went from 100% to 67%. I love the phone and while yes battery life is important to me I almost refuse to handicap my phones full potential for it. What should I do?

Search here and in the Q/A forum about getting better battery life and what to expect out of your battery. There are a ton of discussions already with a lot of helpful information for you.
Remember if your device is new... it takes a number of discharge/recharge cycles before your battery gets good life.

plenty of battery threads already.. 1:36 with a 33% battery drain would extrapolate to >4.5 hours of display-ON time. Most ppl consider that pretty (or even VERY) good. If you are going to play the "won't handicap" card so soon, probably no hope for you except get some other phone for which it is easier to get a monster/fat battery.
I came from a G1 as well. I think battery life is MUCH better on the Sensation.

The only way to get through a whole day of moderate-heavy use with this phone (and most Android phones) without crippling it is to carry a spare battery or plug in the phone throughout the day when near AC power... Sad but true..

I'm with you. I can get 8 hours out of the phone if I only have 2 hours of on screen time. My average, with medium to heavy use, is 6 hours and change with 3 - 3 1/2 hours on screen time. And this is with the screen brightness down to 75%. There is no way there is 7 hours straight of on screen time with this thing IMO and from experience.
NOTE: I am piggy backing, but i am not sure if the person is referring to 7 hours on screen time or 7 hours in general.

I'm pasting a post I posted in another thread about my battery life:
Ok... I have a total of 3 OEM batteries. One that came with my phone and 2 other spares. The one that came with my phone is about 3 weeks old, My newest one is only 3 days old and the middle child one is about a week and a half old. I basically charge them fully then wait until it drains fully and turns off before switching the batteries.
Someone said that after a while battery life gets better. I am proof of that. When I first got my phone I was lucky if it lasted 8 hours and amazed if it lasted 10! Last night my 3 week old battery lasted over 14 hours with moderate use! The middle battery that's a week and a half old lasts about 10 with moderate use (same like the first, only getting about 8 in the beginning) The newest one (still going through the 5 charge conditioning cycle) only lasts about 6-7 hours tops.
I dont know if it helps(or hurts) but since I always have an extra battery with me I never half charge them(especially during the first 5 or 6 charges). I always will let it drain then switch
I moved from the HTC Evo 4G and batterylife is much much better with the sensation. Light to moderate use after a 12 hour day i have between 20 and 40 % left. I ordered 4 extra batteries and xtra chargers so i would have extra full batteries at home and at work but i havent needed them. I was so used to the evo that i wish i would've waited on ordering all the batteries... I just assumed it would be about the same...Way better than the evo though. I have friendstream (twitter and facebook) syncing every 3 hours, weather 3 hours and at unlock, mail/calender syncing.( no news, no tell htc, no android backup) i was amazingly surprised. yay sensation!

I have specifically held off from getting another battery cuz I wanted the original one to settle. Now that I have a decent idea of the life span I will look into a new one. I am not sure if I want to by the off brand 1800 one every is talking about or get raked over the coals for an HTC one. decisions...
here's what I've found after having the Sensation since day one. If you are at 2.5 hours of screen on time in the battery stats, chances are your battery is below 30%, and most likely below 20%, no matter what you were doing with the phone (barring constant video playback). I average about 2-3 hours of display on time each day, and I get about 14-16 hours consistently. I sync gmail, email and facebook, pulse and weather auto update. I use wifi and wifi calling constantly.
I set my screen brightness to about 40%, give or take.
I can live with this as it gets me from 5am when I go to work until when I go to bed, which is really all I expect.
I will look into the evo 3d battery though, as that seems like a logical replacement given its higher capacity and compatibility with the Sensation.
SKU: HLI-APX515CSL
Cell Type: Li-ION
Voltage: 3.7v
Capacity (mAh): 1950
Battery Door: Not Required
Rom used: my own kwbr rom
Kernel: stock kernel ICS 4.0.3
In the past I purchased several extended batteries from Mugen. I bought batteries for the hTC Wildfire, Sensation, Desire Z, HD2 and Google Nexus S. Needless to say why. Running these android devices for a full day on heavy usage can be a challenge on it's own. Besides running my own roms the battery is the first thing I replace to get better battery life.
The Mugen 1950mAh for the Sensation came in the known package including quick start guide how to calibrate the battery. Shipped the day after ordering it arrived within about 2 weeks.
The 1950mAh has a perfect fit. No need to replace the cover or fix things. First I calibrated the battery. After a few months of usage I can say the battery is great. Regular day, several calls, 2hours BT connection with nokia carkit. Reading emails and some browsing. After almost 11 hours usage and still 80% battery. That's better then I used to get with the stock battery.
The Verdict
A good battery. Although it is not cheap I consider it a must have for power users that don't want a bulky backcover with the hTC Sensation. You still need to charge the phone on a daily basis with moderate or heavy usage but at least it will last the day instead of the stock battery.
WHat the
dude 11 hours with that usage and still 80% ?! I should buy that battery. I wish the price could be cheaper though
How much did you pay for the battery?and did you order it direct from mugen?why did it take so long to get it is possible to get it in a few days.

You can also check mobilefun. 34 euros ex. Shipping costs a 3,50 or 10 euros for a 24 hours shipment-receiving. I prefer the 3,50. It will take about 5 days before receiving.

@ kwbr
I just want to know your configuration so I have few questions
Which ROM you have? Is it GB or ICS?
Which kernel you're using? Did you change clock speed?
I would also like to see screen on time, I imagine it's next to none.
I have Mugen second week. I can use sensation couple hours longer without charging. Also notice some improvement with screen on time.
But for me it is to early for review. I will write my opinion after a longer time of using it.
I will try to add some screenshots in next few days.
edit:
Here are some screenshot
Soon I will add more to show battery life with heavy load

yea i seen that too. i would rather look at the posts with heavy use on the battery, instead of standby most of the time and barely have any time for screen on. of course, if the screen is barely on and most of the time on standby mode. the battery drain will be very minimal
It seems HTC has announced a new upgrade to the butterfly I would say, similar to the One X and then we got the One X+. I am not fully sure what the specs will be, but I guess there will be an upgraded battery and I wonder if it will have an Ultra Pixel or just the 13mp, you know, to keep the ONE in the spotlight with special features.
I am not fully sure how they can upgrade the D/B/DX besides battery, it seems pretty smooth as it is.
I was going to get one but now that the upgrade is coming, I think I will wait.
Discuss.
Here is the article: http://www.droid-life.com/2013/03/2...ease-a-butterfly-follow-up-new-droid-dna-too/
"When HTC first introduced the Butterfly last year, as one of the first devices on the planet to sport a 5″ 1080p display, our attention was grabbed immediately as it was identical to a device we had been tracking for months, codenamed the “dlx.” As you all know now, the “dlx” turned into the DROID DNA on Verizon and was indeed identical in specs to the Butterfly. Well, thanks to satisfactory sales numbers of the Butterfly, HTC CMO Benjamin Ho recently mentioned to a Taiwanese publication that they are planning a sequel. Naturally, our minds then wander into the land of DROID DNA follow-ups – perhaps the DLXPLUS?
We have written about the DLXPLUS a handful of times now. Thanks to HTC insiders and stops off for certifications, the device appears to be headed to Verizon with identical specs to the HTC One, which Big Red passed on. We’re talking a 4.7″ 1080p display, 2GB RAM, UltraPixel camera, and new HTC Sense 5.0 with BlinkFeed, BoomSound, and Zoe.
It seems a bit silly to jump to the new Butterfly being the little sister to the DLXPLUS, but they were so similar last year, that we can’t help ourselves.
There is no current time table on a release for the DLXPLUS on Verizon, but a couple of reports suggest that it should arrive within the next two months, well after the HTC One has made the rounds.
Are you willing to stick it out and pass on the Galaxy S4 to get a hold of Verizon’s One-ish variant?"
After the upgrade something else will come, and so on........Then you can wait forever because new things will keep appearing. It is a great phone and battery life is not bad at all as a matter a fact better than my S3.

True point, I am just looking to put a phone in my hands that I can hold on to for quite some years without needing to upgrade.
But if they upgrade this one hopefully they will just highlight these 2 for the rest of the year instead of putting out a ton of phones a year.
how well does your fare on battery life and other areas?
Battery life is definitely better than my previous S3. After a weeks using it, the battery is getting better and better, right now the battery widget said it will last for 1 day and half for a full charge, quite impressive for a small battery inside it.
I don't keep plugging it overnight, so at the morning it is about 80-90%, and it still having about 50-60% when it is about 9pm, and charging it back to full just took less than an hour, and ready for next day full day use, not bad.
However, battery drain a lot faster when playing games, battery will die a lot sooner than you would expected, I would say roughly 3-4 hours you will use up all the charge in the battery, and the phone will get warm (but not hot like S3)

Interesting actually. and I understand about the game draining use but what about everyday other use like internet, music, apps. I suppose medium to heavy usage, how does it fare during the day?

They say it will be the waterproof (Spritzwasserschutz) model without LTE. So it won't be the x920d I had because it wasn't waterproof. Might be an european version of the J Butterfly which could be great, the J Butterfly got S-OFF!!!

I owned original One, but battery was horrible. I switched to G2 and battery is the best I've had. On m8 how is battery? Did they improve it? I work at a homeless shelter and sometimes work overnights. When I do I'm basically on wifi all night. G3 is coming out with same battery but bigger screen so I'm anticipating it to get less screen time.

There is probably at least 10 threads that already talk about battery life. But I'll give my 2 cents. I leave home at 9am and don't get back until midnight. With my previous phone, it would be dead by about 2pm (I'm a heavy user). With this phone, I've never once had to charge during the day, even when I'm working in basements with no signal at all. I've never gotten home at midnight with less than 30% battery.
ive had both the G2 and now the M8. I think the G2 is still better (mAh is higher) but very comparable. Unless you're cutting it close (<10% when you go to charge your G2), then the M8 will suffice for battery life.
Battery is amazing due to 801 chip. Beats my note 3. Read some reviews - they'll say battery life is amazing.

I start the day off at 100% and goto work for 8 hours. I get a 30 minute lunch and 15 minute break which I usually browse the news and websites. At the end of the day I only used 2%. My HTC ThunderBolt would of normally been around 45% remaining at this time. Recently I was stuck at family's and watched the latest FRANKIEonPCin1080p video and a couple JackFrags videos on youtube with a bunch of browsing. ~an hour and a half and used about 15-20% from 100.
I'm at 24% right now with 5h 11m screen-on time over LTE. I've been using it very heavily and I'm projecting a total screen on time of 6h 45m.
This is with power saver mode enabled which I completely recommend. This phone lasts equally as long (on power saver) as my GS3 did with the OEM 3000mah extended battery.
It's pretty good.
