dan +1 on the kernel user poll i would like to see that too. if you start one pm me thanx
[HTC Sensation] maschenazi:
Since updating to 3.6.4, sometimes the phone doesn't want to come back from standby, is dead. It happen twice in two days. The only way to fix is to remove the battery. Anyone had this problem ?

3.6.3 was very stable and bug-free for me.

I have just updated kernel to faux123 0.2.3_r2. Will see if it happens again.
[HTC Sensation] elvislam:
quite unlikely to happen again. :p
[HTC Sensation] nbhadusia:
Opinion needed please, which ROM had the better battery life... 3.6.4 xe or 4.1.5 sense 3.5? Thanks
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
This is absolutely impossible. Even with the same ROM ppl get very different battery life. So comparing between ROM versions is pretty senseless I fear. You'll get 20 different opinions on this one. You have to try yourself, I fear.

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

The 3.6.x series runs sense 3.0. If you want sense 3.5 you have to flash 4.1.x.

Which link do you mean? That alert-link? Why do you think that interests me ? :confused: Can't follow you here. Mind to explain?
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
really depends on how you use your phone. put it this way im a medium user, not much in the day and i cant stop messing with it at night and my phone will last the day no problem, battery life isnt really an issue for me.

im on 4.1.5 using faux kernel, but it seems different people are reporting different outcomes, there are the 2 roms and 2 different kernels, i would suggest 4.1.5, im really happy with it, but it will be whatever your happy with end of the day...

hope this helps!
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
In the last 2 hours my battery has gone down 36%.

Other than having wifi on for 10 mins & sending 5-10 messages my screen/bluetooth/wifi was off.
[HTC Sensation] konsti23:
Did not realize that it was reportet here before. I face the same thing, I always thought that it was hardware related.

I run 4.1.5 btw, it first came up with 4.1.4.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
In my opinion it IS hardware related, cause not many ppl have it. I don't mean a really defective power-button, but more a timing problem with anything reacting too slow or too fast and that is not taken well by some software function.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I have it as well but it started happening after my Sensation came back from the service so I guess it's probably hardware related.
[HTC Sensation] Dao007forever:
Send long SMS.

I can't send long SMS (>160) with my phone anymore. It's not because of the operator, I put my SIM on an iPhone and it works fine, stock Samsung Galaxy works fine too...

Does anyone know the reason?
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Just to bump it again.. I have the feeling its read over :P
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
No, it's not, at least not by me :), but I had to few answers for a post to make sense.

- I don't use whatsup, so can't help here. :(

- Just use DC, it was made for this daemon ;). The other controller probably doesn't recognize that kernel-base?

- The HTC Hub probably will not show anything because the 3.5 ROM is still a pre-release and the HTC-Servers won't show anything for that sense-version yet. Not sure about that, but there are other pieces missing in this sense-leak, so that would make sense.

Sorry that I can't help you more and I think it's the same with the other users or they would have answered :o.
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Thanks for your answer jotha! It doesnt matter, the main thing is that i got an answer :D

The only problem with dc is that it cant handle more than one profile (for example normal, with power supply, on boot). That was the main reason i switched to OC/UV Beater, sadly its not under dev anylonger.. Perhaps mike can work on it, its now open source ;)

Mh, so i think i will have to wait till something like the notes widget from 3.0 will show up ;)

Perhaps someone knows the workaround for whatsapp, i thought it was something with wrong rights, but fix permissions doesnt do the trick till know ;)

Thanks anyway!
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
In 3 hours it's gone down 50% now.

Any ideas how to stop the massive battery drain?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

What ROM?

What kernel?

:)
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
If you don't accept "Take out the battery" as a valid solution :D , you could try to change kernel. Try faux final 0.23 or bricked 1.4r1.

Most probably your troubles will be gone. But remember to wait 2-3 loading cycles (reach 100%!!!) to judge.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
3.6.4 XE

& it says "2.6.35.14-Sensation-faux123-v0.2.3b+" (im kinda a noob when it comes to Kernals and Radios)

I came from 3.1.3 and my battery would last longer than a day.

I've also flashed the zip so my sensation is running at 1.2GHz not 1.5
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

How long have you been running the ROM?

Have you followed the posts stating that you should not judge the life of the battery until you have been through 3-4 cycles?

:)
[HTC Sensation] ste-gro:
Camera freezes phone when put in stand-by

I discovered today a strange issue on my phone: When the camera app is active and I press the top-buttom to send my phone to sleep (screen off) then I could not activate my phone/screen again. I need to put out the battery to reboot the phone.

Anybody else with this behavior of the camera app?

ARHD 4.1.5 (no cam customizations...)

Please help. Thanks a lot!
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Yes, that's a known bug of this ROM versions camera. No fix atm (except changing kernels maybe). There is an app on the market as a workaround. There was a post about 16 hours ago which presented this solution. Maybe you just search backwards a bit for that.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
I've been using 3.6.4 for the last couple of days (since it came out) & Yes.

I also wiped battery stats after i flashed it as the FAQ recommend.

Reckon i should just wait a see if battery performance improves over time?
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Its a known issue with the latest faux kernel :/

EDIT: To slow.. :p
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
If you already charged 2 or 3 times to 100%, it will most probably not improve. I'd try another kernel then.
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
I've had that once on 3.6.3 and once on 3.6.4. BTW, pressing vol+, vol- and power reboots without having to remove the battery :)
[HTC Sensation] ivanh3:
Mike,

Still liking this ROM. I go back and forth between this and HyperSensation. Both are great. Is there any chance in future offerings that there may be an option to customize the "quick settings" menu? Or does this exist as a flashable mod already?

Thanks again for all of your hard work.
[HTC Sensation] maschenazi:
I knew that trick ;) , but it didn't work for me. The phone was as dead as a brick.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Here's a customized one:

Hi people,

this thread is growing so fast ;-)

I wanted to give the new 4.1.5 with faux kernel a chance.

But i cannot find any custom files for 4.1.x (APM, Battery, ext.Quicksettings, etc.)

When will the second Post be updated?

Thanky you & Bye

[HTC Sensation] gtrplr71:
guys here is the post about the faux kernal the phone is not sleeping when turn the screen off that is why the battery is draining

[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Absolutely no problem with that.

:D
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Even though that's not exactly what show-p claims here, his claims would explain my own findings that bricked does handle battery much better when the phone is idle and not better when the phone is in use. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18905264&postcount=27791

But the statements of showp and faux about each other must always be taken with a bit of caution because they are "not really friends" :D.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
this is interesting, i always thought that although apps werent showing the phone as "asleep" it was in a power down mode where the battery drain was low.

Jotha what sort of drain were u seeing on average as a rough guess for each kernel? (sorry for some reason your screen shots dont work for me)
[HTC Sensation] sstanton86:
For all you with battery issues, I would try show-P's bricked1.4r1. I was on the stock kernel that came with the Rom, and my battery drain was as bad as you all claim. I think my phone hit 63' degrees, according to system monitor. Anyhow, since changing roms this thibg is much more battery efficient. I've used my phone non-stop since this morning, and it was fully charged at 2am, its now on 40%. For me that's pretty good! :eek:
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I think it's 2wcr patch responsible for high battery drain.
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
It has to be something external because I'm doing very well on 2.3r2 kernel.

On 6 hours so far today, bluetooth on (connected for 40 minutes), 2 calls, 20 minutes browsing on "4G" and I'm at 90%. In the past I'd be at 75% or so.

P.

Edited to add: phone is also running very cool -- Felt warm at first but that went away after a few hours, now phone feels cold to the touch. I'm not running any battery monitors as they just gum stuff up.
[HTC Sensation] rebuild:
First of all i want to thank Mike for this great ROM :)

But since I upgraded from 3.6.3 to 3.6.4 the active time is equal to the operation time stated in battery settings.

Thus I think my phone is not sleeping even the screen is off ...

I already tried a restart of my phone but nothing changed. Any idea what could be causing this?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Long time ago in Desire HD section we had the same issue. Some people had wonderful battery life while others terrible one. Nobody had explanation but since kernels developers began to do 2 kernel version - with and without 2wcr patch the problem was gone. Since 2wcr is something very new in faux's kernel and it was not present in beta 16 (excellent battery life) I would say it's strange coincident.
[HTC Sensation] sstanton86:
:eek:

Bloody hell. Sound s like you hit the jack pot there! I'd love for mine to be that good.

:rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Would you mind explaining a bit more elaborate :confused:. Is that patch part of the ROM or the kernel? Do we need it or can we get rid of it? :D Sorry for so many questions, but that's beyond my expertise :o.

Edit: Just saw your last post. Got it, it's kernel issue. Then all my recommendations to change kernel or kernel-version for the moment weren't wrong.
[HTC Sensation] slee88:
and i thought i was the only one having battery problems...:D
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
It's part of the kernel. Well I don't want to blame kernel, I'm just saying that this can be possible issue because I have some experience and it's telling me that we should try version without 2wcr and see if the battery drain issue will be gone.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
thats strange, im on the latest faux, r2 and im getting really good battery life and battery drain, its as you say different people seem to be seeing different things, i dont know if its some setting somewhere thats making the change..
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
I had 3 cycles of each 8-12 hours of battery life with the provided faux kernel. I am on bricked 1.4 now since 29 hours and have 47% battery left. I even changed to 1.4r1 in that time and the drain curve didn't even change a bit. In both cases the phone was idle 90% of the time I guess.

But as I already stated, in the times when I use the phone, the decline is identical between faux and bricked.
[HTC Sensation] immunityx:
Bricked kernel runs so much better for me
[HTC Sensation] xplod4202:
I am sorry i have been out for a few days and lost track of news. Is there a new kernel from Faux123 that we can flash for 4.1.5?
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
There's a 0.23 r2 on his thread. There aren't many reviews here yet on that one.
[HTC Sensation] elvislam:
0.2.3r2 is actually quite good and reliable, except that my phone restarted itself suddenly for once only today. I'll report if I see any problems.
[HTC Sensation] xplod4202:
Do you flash first time kernel, or you can just flash 0.23 r2 over the build in one?
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Do not flash first time, just flash over existing.
[HTC Sensation] cecc500:
Any extended quick setting for 3.6.4?

[HTC Sensation] eric1990:
EQS for 3.6.4 will be the same as 3.6.3 and 3.6.2, etc. the same mod that worked for those will work for 3.6.4.

If you have not had them previously, fallen angel has them in his signature and they are also in the first or second post.
[HTC Sensation] ste-gro:
Hi,

I changed to Bricked Kernel 1.4r1 (with the camera fix). Now my problems are gone. I can send my camera app directly into stand-by and I can still wake-up the phone.

I am sorry that Faux kernel is not working that well because I like this ROM. But if this ROM and Bricked Kernel work well, why not ;-)

Thanks a lot!
[HTC Sensation] sirbilbo:
With ARHD 4.1.5 and Bricked 1.45 Beta is the ultimate solution on my phone, just superior, now also with ZRAM :D

Links to all in one packages in my signature would work for you too if you want to flash one zip to get multiple mods. There is also an anti-pagination mod to get rid of scrolling page by page in the app drawer.

Boy, Im still playing with kernels for 3.6.2! You guys move too fast around here! I did have my battery life at an all time best of 1 day 5 hours with light usage using 3.6.2 and bricked 0.91. Now Im using the r1 kernel on 3.6.2, however I have had to pull the batt twice now. Once while unlocking straight to an incoming text message after it went to sleep using the camera, and once while trying to use the retro camera application. I cannot repeat either freeze up however.

When I flash the next version of the ROM, I will play with the faux kernel for a while and see how that goes before trying something else of course.

When using battery history in spareparts application, it reports that it can't access the battery history and that this rom must not be reporting it.

Why is that the case?
[HTC Sensation] sirbilbo:
Bricked 1.45 Beta will also work on version 3.6.4 according to the developer...
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Then you didn't read good enough :D. The solutions are all over the place: Flash another kernel!

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

Because the kernel doesn't seem to report it :D. Sounds silly, sorry, but Faux' Kernel does not report some things unfortunately. Like "max. cpu speed setting" or "actual cpu speed atm" which bricked does report. So it could well be that this history isn't reported also (if the kernel is responsible for this reporting, what I assume). Just a well educated guess of course...
[HTC Sensation] vvveith:
The advatages of reading through the posts.

Even though it may seem tedious to read through the post and follow the thread entirely, I can state, that doing so can show you just how many opinions and different solutions there are to each seeming problem. That being said, if you do read the posts and retain some of the various views, it gives you plenty of options for tracking down what will work best for you and your device. Although it may seem tedious and may be slightly time consuming, there is nothing more reliable than your own experince on your device that will bring you the peace of mind you may be trying to achieve. Just my observation from reading the many varying views and opinions! Peace, V

Everyone, keep up the good work and please continue to report your findings with various kernels and Rom versions. Perhaps when I find some time I will complile a list of issues with the various techniques used to help achieve the best results.

no issues here

[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
My thing was I never charged my phone with power off (I can't cause I am on call 24/7) but I did this weekend and that solved my battery issue 100%. Let it die to 10% powered off with Fastboot turned off. Powered to Full. Getting beautiful battery readings now and I am on Faux 0.2.3r2
[HTC Sensation] wifesabitch:
Hope this is the cause. My battery life so far with 3.6.4 has been the worst yet.

I'll give it a few more days.
[HTC Sensation] gtrplr71:
have you not read the last 10 pages of the thread just 4 pages back I put a link as to what is happening
[HTC Sensation] frans-jan:
which program do u use for monitoring battery. I use battery monitor widget, but get some strange readings. I set it to sensation and check mA correction.

I just charged my phone to 100%. left it charging for two more hours, and sometimes it reads -430 mA,and then a little later +70 mA.

its impossible to check mA drain this way. I think I read somewere its sensation related?

u guys also have this?
[HTC Sensation] vvveith:
Now there's a good approach!

Interesting enough, I never turn off my phone either. I must try this to see if it will benefit me. I don't think many of us ever shut off our device, but that's my impression because Neither my wife nor I ever do. But I think it may really have an impact on how the phone uses the battery. Unfortunatly, I am no expert and cannot offer any scientific reason why this would be the case, but user experience is always more valuable than scientific reasoning, isn't it? Perhaps someone might enlighten us here? Great suggestion. I can say in my Amaze user manual it tells you to not even turn the phone on the first time until the battery is fully charged, I followed this direction and am getting the best battery life I have ever seen on such a device! Maybe the lends credibility to this statement! Peace, V:confused:
[HTC Sensation] RaptorRVL:
Had very bad battery life with 3.6.4 as well (also with Faux 0.2.3r2). With Faux 0.2.3r2 it dropped almost 30%-40% in a few hours without doing anything at all. And after that my phone felt sluggish.

I know about the few first cycles, but after updating loads or ROMS you can notice quite fast if it's normal or not. And with 3.6.4 it's certainly not as it should be. And most certainly not as the updates I did in the past.

Now I'm testing Bricked v1.4r1, so far so good. And otherwise I roll back a version (or .two) :D

[HTC Sensation] JazzMac251:
Update on my inability to achieve stability with 4.1.5 and 3.6.4: Tried Bricked kernel 1.4 RC2.

Super Wipe --> 4.1.5 --> Bricked 1.4 RC2. Still can't keep a consistent data connection. Like before, data hangs at "uploading". Can't use browser or sync data except for small bursts.

Back to 3.6.3 I go and until this issue with the new ROMs gets resolved, that is where I will stay.

ANyone else having the same problem?

[HTC Sensation] 02CWRX:
Which ROM are you running? I just went back to bricked 0.91 because I had some lock ups using the camera with 1.4r1 and ARHD 3.6.2, plus a couple random force closes which may be unrelated. It will be interesting to see how it goes for you :cool:

Yeah, now I know it too! ;)

Sooo I got the Bricked Kernel 1.41r1 (the recommend one) since 7am... I charged my phone up to 75% and went to work.

At work I used my phone a lot with WIFI on all the time, a couple of (long) phone calls, sms, made some pictures, made a couple of backups using CWM etc. When I came back home the battery was about 40%! So not bad at all! =)

The only thing I experienced was that the phone froze after I just watched a Youtube movie in Dolphin Browser HD. I couldn't do anything with the phone so I had to remove the battery.

I'm not quite sure if this had something to do with ARHD or the new kernel... But perhaps worth mentioning as someone can recognize what caused this freeze up! ;)
