Battery

First it was one cycle then two now three, what is it going to be next six cycles. Well i must be stupid then, Bricked kernel works after one cycle the times i have tried it. Considering the problems in the past with Faux i don't think changing kernel is stupid. And i have several monitoring programs, no rogue apps.

All the times i have had battery problems in the past i went through at lest three cycles, it has never helped me once. But i guess what i did then was intelligence. Well like Naruto says i rather be a idiot then.
[HTC Sensation] BladeKnight:
nope....they should make a new thread for that benchmarks....its not really usefull in Mikes thread...:D:D:D
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Sorry, you are not completely right here.

That "3 cycles"-story MAY BE true for faux, though even here the drain doesn't always get better after 3 cycles, but sometimes does significantly.

But it sure is NOT true with bricked kernel. Here battery has it's full capacity from the first run after calibration. ;)

I think the true story behind that "2-3 cycles"-myth is the fact, that Mike's ROM has an auto-calibration script included, that does calibrate the battery after the first FULL charge. As this FULL-state is only reached some time AFTER the phone shows 100%, and some ppl take their phone from the charger earlier, on most phones the phone doesn't get calibrated before the second or even 3rd time, when it stays on the charger long enough to trigger the calibration script. So the battery stats are only valid after this time. When you change to bricked however, you have to manually calibrate anyways, so you get real battery stats immediately.

I leave the phone on the cradle also with faux about 20 mins after 100% and have not got any significant change in drain after 2nd or 3rd charge also on faux. That brought me to this conclusion.
[HTC Sensation] crunkin:
Min clock is 384MHz and has been always.. had this also when not undervolting at all, so I dont think it's a reason..
[HTC Sensation] johnkristian:
I didn't call YOU stupid, just saying it's stupid to change kernels so fast. Believe me, I've been there myself. :)

Anyway, I've always seen that you should wait for at least 3 cycles before you can consider your drain stable enough to evaluate a kernel change.

[HTC Sensation] Rogoshin:
As i understand the battery reading in the sensation can be quite erratic. This could be the reason for your phones manic behavior.
[HTC Sensation] johnkristian:
This should have been improved with faux latest kernel (saw it in a changelog). At least things is much more stable on my phone.
[HTC Sensation] Rogoshin:
Mine still jumps around like a rabbit on amphetamine, so no change here.

The stability of the Rom has never been a problem for me on 3.6.x, only the battery drain.

[HTC Sensation] remus82:
OK have done my 2nd proper full charge. I have to say battery life got really better. It falls very evenly now. And best of all, battery monitor widget seems like it's reporting very accurately. My idle drain is about 56 with 3g on. Not sure which syncs are on. Although the idle drain is higher than my previous drain of 19-30ma, I believe this is the more accurate one as I get huge spikes (up to 1029ma) now and then on 2.4. Will monitor more. Enjoy the awesome rom and kernel guys!
[HTC Sensation] Rogoshin:
Yeah i guess it is better to go through endless cycles whit no end results.
[HTC Sensation] johnkristian:
No no no .... relax ;) I'm a bricked fan myself. Sorry if I offended you <3

IT'S A JOKE
[HTC Sensation] Rogoshin:
Yeah ok it was funny.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

At the end of the day,it is YOUR phone,and you can do what you like with it.

The suggestions you were given have helped some people,but not all.

So,if you are not getting good results with Faux,try bricked.

You can then report back your findings,so that others can benefit from your results.

:)
[HTC Sensation] johnkristian:
Another matter:

I'm starting to see some strange stability issues with this rom.

Sometimes when typing, touch vibration suddenly stops working for a few (10-20 maybe) seconds, but comes back.

And right now, a couple of seconds ago, i picked up my phone just to check my battery level, and someone actually tried to call me. But the phone didn't ring or vibrate. When I tried to answer, the phone froze.

Last night, the phone was in silent mode (no vibration), but vibrated on call anyway.

This doesn't look good.....
[HTC Sensation] fs61:
Same problem. but the vibration while typing is a lill bit annoying..
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
Bugs like black screen, vibration not working, reboots are mainly kernel issues, try to log what cause that, change the kernel and see if the problem still exists, try to lower CPU or don.t undervolt too much. As far as i know rom tweaks do not make the phone unstable, as i said, try and see if it is not the kernel.
[HTC Sensation] Rogoshin:
Are you serious. That is exactly what i have done.
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Yes, it was.
[HTC Sensation] johnkristian:
Heheh ... this is what's so cool and anoying at the same time with custom roms and kernels :)

I'm not flashing quite yet, but I'm following show-p1984's thread like a hawk atm :)
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
would last kmsg help with finding the problem? i havent seen this issue on mine..
[HTC Sensation] lobfredd:
I am experiencing heavy battery drain!

I am currently using 3.6.7 With Bricked 1.5r beta2

my phone says:

6t 41m 24s on battery

Screen 73%

Cell-Standby 13%

Phone not in use 11%

In calls 3%

The screen has not been on much at all! I have just checked the clock every hour, i have used the phone for Internet radio for maybe 1h (with the screen off), i have tried to call someone but not answered. I wont say that this is much use at all?

My old Huawei U8800 (almost same hw as Desire Z) lasted 2,5 days with my usage and it has 20Mah less than the sensation.

I would say the drain is the same with the faux kernel which is in 3.6.7.

With 3.6.5 it lasted maybe 8 hours (with stock faux kernel that the rom comes with)

With 3.6.5 i played Drag Racing for maybe 1.5h then the phone died even though it was fully charged when i started to play..

Any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] Xpire:
I jumped from 4.1.5 to 4.1.7.

Everything was previously working fine, but since I've flashed 4.1.7 I've had two random reboots today. Anyone else have this issue?

I maybe wrong but if you are getting only 1.5 hours out it playing a game you may have a bum battery.

Am i the only one with following issue?

When i toggle the airplane mode to ON. everything is fine. Airplane mode is active

When i toggle the airplane mode to OFF, it stays on ON. I have to reboot the phone, otherwise i won't get any signal...It stays on airplane mode..
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Cant confirm this, just tested :o
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
Yes. The best one who can fix it is the kernel developer. My point was that this kind of bugs are hardly the rom.s fault.

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
i have a bit of experience with reading last kmsg files but ive been trying to teach myself so not that great...

would only be useful anyway just to flag something up to faux..
[HTC Sensation] fs61:
Strange :-( Dunno what i have to do right now..

For an example:

I am using Settings Profil. One profil is active named "Night" its active between 0:01 until 07:00 with airplaine status. This way i've got no problems. It switches automatically from Airplane Status to my normal profile with no airplane mod...confusing...
[HTC Sensation] townay:
I dunno if anyone is having issues with sharing their photos via G+ or G+ messenger. Even if I share the photo via HTC's photo gallery, it doesnt load the correct photos.

Just this afternoon, it was working fine when I was on ARHD 3.6.5 and when I got home in the evening, updated to 3.6.7 this issue occurred. Works fine on WhatsApp though.

G+ and Google Instant Upload is synched too
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
How are you changing manuely to airplane mod? With the QPM? Have you flashed the right version for your rom? Perhaps you should upgrade to latest rom (if your signature is right at the moment ;) ) and see if this will fix your problem.
[HTC Sensation] maschenazi:
Anybody has huge battery reading drops after a reboot ?

I thought it has been fixed with this latest kernel.

Phone at 83%, rebooted and it shows 55%; rebooted again and it dropped to 22%; rebooted again and it dropped to 11%. I haven't even used the phone. If you look at the screen shots, usage (mA) stays at -5mA constant after the first reboot. What the hell can I do to fix this ?:mad:
[HTC Sensation] skodann:
Bricked 0.91 for me is the best kernel ever tried.just my opinion.
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Had the same yesterday.. Perhaps this is due to battarie calibration script..
[HTC Sensation] maschenazi:
This is my second cycle after calibration yesterday. Just gave it another reboot, and guess what, it jumped to 60%, probably what I would have had by now without any reboots. Crazy.
[HTC Sensation] fs61:
I've changed it manually and with an app ->same effect.

Currently i am using the 4.1.7 versioni with all compatible mods...
[HTC Sensation] bazji:
On my second batt cycle and still improving. Still got 30% left in battery Excellent work mike and faux.

[HTC Sensation] jotha:
No battery calibration script only works ONCE after flashing when you reach 100% for the first time. Then it sets a flag and doesn't run again until the next flash or you manually delete a certain file.
[HTC Sensation] ruijay:
Flashed from 4.1.5 to 4.1.7

My only issue is with battery life. It's lot better with 4.1.7 but still draining faster than usual.

I went to bed yesterday around 10:30PM with battery = 55%

Got up in the morning around 6:30AM with battery = 25%

30% drainage in 8 hours of idle is not good.. Hope the next release will carry better battery performance.

No other issues. I read some posts about people having cam issue. I am good here.

Ive noticed something sort of similar. my drain is really good all the time, 40mA ish with screen off, but my battery seems to basically last 14 hours which feels a bit short. for a 1900mah battery.

im gonna give it a few mroe cycles to be sure.

out of interest what sort of drains are you seeing in mA?

[HTC Sensation] jotha:
As I said, it only runs ONCE, but you can remove it of course. It's a file called "87calibration". Look for it in system and rename or delete it, then restart. But that makes no sense. It is a simple script that looks for a flag-file, if it's there it does nothing and dies. If it's not there, it looks every 2 minutes whether you have 100%. If you have, it deletes battery stats and writes that flag-file, then dies.

So what damage could it do??:rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Xpire I am reading through your kmsg now. Question.. is your min frequency set to 192000?

Because like you I am reading through this and I see nothing causing reboot. Everything is reporting normal but I know some people have had issues with Min 192000 causing reboots.
[HTC Sensation] orangestrawberry:
Don't get me wrong. mikes roms are AMAZIng. They are the best around. I just can't remember having so many issues with battery drops until recently. In mikes changelogs was there a time when the script did not exist? I thought there was as I can't remember early arhd 3.6 non xe roms ever having these mysterious drops
[HTC Sensation] orangestrawberry:
Jotha, what looks evry 2min?
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
i cant find the crash in that kmsg?? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
That script was there from the beginning, even at 3.1.x. I had those jumps all the time, less with bricked, more with faux. It's the ****ty battery reporting of sensation. I don't think you'll ever get it completely away.
[HTC Sensation] zeemenshater:
Battery with %% and keyboard with arrows working on Revolution HD 4.1.7 ... Where do I find those? Everything I installed so far put my device in rebooting loop. :mad:

Thanks for your hints. Search didn't help much.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Read my description thoroughly, please. The script looks every 2 minutes whether you have reached 100% battery after you flashed. When you have charged the battery to 100% for the first time, it clears battery stats, remembers that it has calibrated in a special file and never runs again (because next time you start phone it finds the file with the calibration info)

So after your first 100% charge the script is non existent for you until the next ROM flash. So it can not do any damage. Clear enough now??

You find it in etc/init.d btw. Open it in editor and look for yourself if you can read scripting language.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Same. That is why I was wondering about the 192000 thing. The kmsg shows no crash that I can find either.
[HTC Sensation] orangestrawberry:
Ok thanks makes sense. Here's another question. I have just restarted my phone a few times in the last hour to test it and I have managed to successfully drop unexplained battery each time. Is there any way of monitoring what the device is doing e.g. a file, history etc etc to see if there is any light to shed?
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
No, and it it was it would contain the same nonsense, cause the system really believes it has those percentages it shows, so it would write them into the log as it writes them onto your screen.

Those numbers are nonsense and we know since a long time that battery readings from sensation are not very reliable.
[HTC Sensation] dakrizma:
