1. Isn't it better to put the battery in the phone and charge the new battery immediately (with the phone off)?

Receiving my Anker this of next week, hope I'll notice some improvement and will report after a week of use.
[HTC Sensation] Bonoxx:
I'm charging it to full first. Jut got mine. I managed 54 hours on stock battery .. lets see the difference :p
[HTC Sensation] simbo64:
Anker Extended Battery

I tried several extended batteries including "Annon" and a few other naff chinese ones, Anker are the best by far, I recommend buying two and the charger with it and you can't go wrong!!
[HTC Sensation] Ken957:
I can't get mine over 36 hours with 2h screen on.

On a normal day my Sensey is empty at the end of the day (14hours).

Which rom/kernel are you using? I'm using sense 3.5 with stock kernel

(I tried 3 different sense 3.5 roms, +-same battery usage)

Hope to see some improvement with the Anker, hopefully it arrives tomorrow:D
[HTC Sensation] walkinhotdog:
yea seriously, on moderate use i usually cant get past a day, maybe a day and a half on light/moderate use. 54 hours is ridiculous. your so lucky. conditioning my anker now, hopefully this will get me to at least 2 full days on moderate use
[HTC Sensation] Bonoxx:
I'm using sense o maniac de-sense with stock kernel.

Brightness is kept at 20%. Nothing more actually. I try to look out for partial wakelocks and monitor battery usage with "battery monitor widget". Wifi is off after 15 inutes and 3g or hspda or whatever is always on.

I hope the anker gets me 60 to 70 hours with moderate use. :eek:

But first things first, conditioning the ankher! ;)
[HTC Sensation] simbo64:
Hi there, I like many am on Android Revolution HD 3.8 with HTC sense 3.5. I normally get about two days with medium use but I just charge every night and take me spare battery if I'm flying or on a long journey!
[HTC Sensation] krogoth:
Does anybody know where I can buy anker with international shipping to Poland?
[HTC Sensation] formula91:
I get about 48-50 hours with on and off use on my stock battery. I don't expect to use the phone in the middle of the night though. :D

For those wondering, I am currently using cyanogenmod with the faux123 kernel running 1512 mHz through the stock cyanogenmod settings.

I use a userinit script for undervolting to save juice at lower frequencies while still having stability at higher frequencies. In fact I'm slightly overvolted at 1728mhz though I rarely use that setting.

Personally speaking, my battery life was not that good until I was very, very meticulous about getting all my settings right. You absolutely need to go through all your apps and make sure that none of it runs constantly, and go through those app settings so that they don't. Change update settings to C2DM Push if possible, and if an app doesn't use C2DM push, get an alternative that does. For example, why is my recipe app (What's for Dinner) starting up EVERY time I boot my phone, and is persistent when my phone is on? Unnecessary.

What I like about Cyanogenmod vs Sense is that it has Spare Parts, so I can easily track CPU usage and partial wake lock (especially important!) for apps, and if there is a troublemaker I can deal with it. For Sense users, I highly recommend Better Battery Stats. It's found here on XDA if you search. I check Spare Parts on a regular basis as well. Usually after a full day of use to get an accurate reading of #1 My own usage habits so I can improve them and #2 any problem apps that are draining more battery than they should.

Smartphones these days are computers, and they should obviously cared for in a similar manner/

It's just not enough to know how much mA you're using through Batt Monitor Widget. You have to find out why.

Try amazon, they should ship it to u either from the UK or amazon.de

So I just got a new anker yesterday and I finished 1 cycle charge. How do I know for sure that the current maximum capacity that Im having is the one as the battery should have ?
[HTC Sensation] mijaskydive:
Hej guys.

I have a sensation xe & im thinking of buying the 1900mAh ANKER batt.

Do you think there'll be much difference compared to the orig. 1740mAh batt. Of the sensation xe?

Thanks!!
[HTC Sensation] miniterror:
I dont think so,

There have been people on this thread who know there way with electronics and they had device wich checked how much it really holds.

Multiple test said approx 1750mah so it will be sorta useless for you i think:p
[HTC Sensation] Talon25:
Just bought my Anker and should be here tomorrow. I am wondering whats the best way to calibrate this battery - when is it really at 100% (max Volts?) I have current widget but its been doing some weird things lately on my sensation. This is what I have in mind to get this battery calibrated for best use, but if I am wrong can someone help me out?

- Get it and charge battery till Current Widget is around 0-10mA

- Get rid of batterystats.bin

- Give it a full discharge (just till phone turns off or should I try to turn it back on and find out that I magically have 25% left? - happens to me all the time with stock battery)

- Charge it back up to full (around 0-10mA).

...Do I need more cycles or will this pretty much set it up for best performance? I have read on this thread 1-2 cycles and 6-7 cycles for 100-0-100% then have read that you shouldn't discharge this battery all the time to 0 - start charging around 15-20%
[HTC Sensation] Straightflush:
The anker website says do a full charge and discharge 4-5 times... The best idea may just be to, instead of restarting the phone after it shuts down to drain more, just start charging once it shuts down. And I'm sure that if you abuse it during the day, charging while you sleep should definitely get it to 100%
[HTC Sensation] supraman89:
I've been using this battery for 2 days, i must say its an epic improvment, im currently at 14 hours and 39% battery, and this is me using the hell out of the phone. I haven't fully conditioned the battery and this is with a stock rom
[HTC Sensation] Ken957:
Any updates yet? :p

I received the Anker today.

Best thing is to put the Anker in the phone and charge it whole night when it's OFF?

After that charge and discharge cycles are clear to me..
[HTC Sensation] Bonoxx:
second discharge.

I just put the battery in charged it full(when on) , discharged it till 1% charged it full(when on) again and now I am on my second complete discharge.

I've noticed an improvement of about 20% . I think I'm able to squeeze a bit more out of it , because I have some partial wakelocks which need attention.

Settings:

sense-o-maniac desense rom with stock kernel

brightness: 20%

bluethoot on (when in car connected)

wifi off after 15min.

3g on all the time except when connected to wifi.

made about 10 calls

30 messages

browsing around

using some apps

just some moderate use. :D
[HTC Sensation] Ken957:
Nice result :)

Let's hope my Anker also gives me some battery life improvement.

What's your screen on time on that cycle?

Free Next Day Shipping

I have been reading this post for a while about the Anker 1900Mah. I will be using it in a mytouch 4G Slide.

I didnt need the charger nor 2 batteries so I found the cheapest single on Amazon and ordered it. When I got to the shipping page I just wanted to see how much the faster shipping options would be soI clicked on them.

When I entered Next day Shipping my total did not change, so I bought it.

Since I never post I cant post the link

Add the w's before the below and cut and paste

I did get a tracking number and it is on the ups truck for delivery right now! I didnt order til 2:00 in the afternoon yesterday.

Not too bad!!

I should also note the Seller - Laptopmate but it is

[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
now i have Anker 1900 mAh battery

1-charged to 100

2-use it until my sensation turn off

3-charged to 100

and now i use it and i don't see any difference between Anker & stock battery :(
[HTC Sensation] walle4893:
Same, haven't noticed any difference. Well, probably its a little bit longer than the stock.

Im using ARD 3.6.8 with faux kernel 0.2.6, I might try the bricked 1.6 beta 3 to see what happens.
[HTC Sensation] flawlessx92:
nvm...found it XD
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Try stock or different kernel. ;)
[HTC Sensation] Talon25:
Anyone have their own batterystats.bin file for the Anker 1900 on the Sensation that they dont mind posting on here for us to replace our own with? That should work right - I keep having to reset my phone/turn it off during discharge or using it while charging and wondering if my battery calibration / batterystats.bin file is getting messed up
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
what i should do to make current widget show me like 10mA ??

and Battery Monitor Widget app show me my battery is 1580 mAh !!!!!! i have Anker !!
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
guys..i swear i don't see any difference between stock and Anker !!

if my battery at 100% it's draining slowly but if it under 100 it's draining fast (i got this in Anker & stock)
[HTC Sensation] Bonoxx:
what is your battery drain? kernel? rom? erased battery stats?
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
doesn't matter what battery you put in it. the widget will show 1580 as it's reading from the value the phone is coded with.

stock battery shows 1580 and we all know it's actually 1520.

manually change the value to the battery mah you are currently using in the settings of the widget.
[HTC Sensation] Ken957:
Great Battery!

My Anker has now done 2 cycles.

I must say I'm very impressed with this battery.

So much better then Stock.

With stock I could go 12-16hours with 1u30-45 screentime. (completly DEAD, 1-5%)

Usage: 3G and WIFI continiously on

Brightness: between 30 and 50% all the time

Browsing, texting, calling

To compare fairly, I kept my settings and usage.

So same rom, kernel, ..

3G and Wifi continiously on.

Results after 1th cycle:

Results of yesterday, 2nd cycle: (includes 35min of navigation!!!)

Because I couldn't get the battery empty before bedtime, I turned wifi/3G off and only turned it on when I needed it. Calling & texting same usage..

This evening he finally got empty, at 8PM after 1day 9hours and 2hours 47min screentime!

I'm really amazed and curious if the 3th cycle will also bring some improvement..

Anyways now I'm really happy with my Sensation, stock battery is crap, only got through the day with turning 3g/wifi on only when I need it.

Just sharing my experience ;)
[HTC Sensation] jorogad:
Conclusion

Can we conclude that the battery recommendable?

And could somenoe list the best buying options?

Thanks and happy Hollydays.
[HTC Sensation] peterc10:
Read the posts and decide for yourself. Most people here recommend the Anker battery. Most people buy it from Amazon, but if you can find it elsewhere it is up to you.
[HTC Sensation] Talon25:
I think once you go to the Anker battery you can't really go back. It takes a few discharges to get it set up but then it works great. I would recommend getting it from Amazon, it is pretty cheap and shipping is fast

Amazon Anker 1900 mAh for Sensation
[HTC Sensation] Ken957:
And after the 4th cycle my Anker improved more..

I'm really really happy with it.. only 18euro and that performance.
[HTC Sensation] F_L_X:
So if I had to choose between the HTC EVO 3d battery and the Anker 1900, which one should I get for my HTC Sensation (no xe, no custom Rom) ?
[HTC Sensation] SerganTT:
1730mAh vs 1900mAh.... Hmmm.... What's better?)
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
Here's my anger after 2 months of heavy use. I would say 1879 is better than 1730.

Just noticed it didn't say what the measured capacity is. It's 1878. For stone rain when I take a screenshot it measures the capacity again and doesn't show in the screen shot.
[HTC Sensation] walle4893:
When I check in battery widget app, it says only 1580 maH "in use" ?
[HTC Sensation] echo511:
About 2 months ago, based on this thread, I bought a couple Anker 1900's - I've been really happy (I get ~20% more time out of them?) and for the price, who can argue!
[HTC Sensation] stewalker:
Are these ok to charge in the phone? I read on amazon it melted someone's sim card?

Also is it much advantage over my stock xe battery?
[HTC Sensation] stewalker:
Anyone?
[HTC Sensation] Pvt WhoOkid:
I've had anker since it came out for this phone and i can tell you from experience it's safe to charge in the phone. Don't listen to noobs on amazon, 90% of them are idiots.
[HTC Sensation] joe.attaboy:
Great batteries

I just bought my Sensation 4G from a guy on ebay last week (new), and ordered a couple of these from Amazon. Used and recharged them a few times, and I'm impressed with the life I get from them. For the price, they can't be beat.
[HTC Sensation] F_L_X:
But some people here already tested the Anker and it has got only about 1700-1800 mAh...
[HTC Sensation] stewalker:
Does anyone know if its any improvement over that stock xe battery?
[HTC Sensation] BiziBB:
I recall many, many reports on this thread of 20% more juice and some of these are comparing the XE battery vs the Anker. Have you read through the thread? There could be tests of the stock battery's actual capacity and the actual capacity of the Anker. Probably both will get reports of less than the stated mAh they promise.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20713049&nojs=1#goto_threadsearch

I don't recall specific posts but there was some comparison. It would take a few discharge cycles, then you could compare.

Are you asking for someone to compare the two batteries, running the stock XE ROM?

---------- Post added at 11:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

There is a report and graphic in a post earlier from masondoctorjt re stock XE 1730 vs Anker 1900.

Interesting note in this other battery thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1220518&page=10

On the same phone, if each (stock XE vs Anker 1900 vs Mugen 2300 etc) battery has the capacity it promises, it should last the percentage longer that the capacity states.

However it might not be much different! Maybe you could spend more and get an even larger capacity battery?

There's probably a table around somewhere but here's an idea:

2300/1730=1.329x capacity

2100/1730=1.214x capacity

1900/1730=1.098x capacity

1879/1730=1.086x capacity

I bought it off Amazon and have been pleasantly pleased with it. First day it wasn't to good but over the next couple of days it got better and better.

Not very scientific but here are a couple of screenshots of my battery stats using Virtuous ICS...

I did a lot of internet browsing, and a bunch of setting the phone up, and downloading apps.

Here is the detailed graph of my usage...

The spurts of battery is not coming from charging (as you can see at the bottom) it is from rebooting the phone. Sometimes some roms, or the battery I honestly don't know which, doesn't calculate the battery % correctly. When you reboot it generally give you an extra 5% or so.

And here is my display use...

I think for the $15s I paid for the battery it was definitely worth it. I can not complain and I would also fully recommend it to anybody.

O and battery life has been great on a bunch of different ROMs including Hypers series of ROMs, MIUI, and now ICS.

Update a couple hours later.

Figured I may as well go ahead and post some screen shots now that its 11 pm and for most people the day is coming to a close and they are about to plug their phones in...

Considering I will almost never use my phone like this again, I know I can :D
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
That has definitely have me going nuts over. I think I'm going to buy one as well. When school starts, I use my phone a lot so yeah. $15 is what? A days worth of gas? I just won't drive one day.

I believe someone tried them earlier in this thread and said they were junk.
[HTC Sensation] bobbytomorow:
Just got my Anker 1900 mAh

Its a good 1mm or 1.5mm thicker than OEM and I weighed them and the Anker came in at 34g versus 30g for OEM.

However it fits no problem at all. Now I'm going to fully drain and then fully charge it and see how it performs.
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
Just ordered mine as well. Choose one day shipping so it should be here by Friday. Hopefully. Other than that, I can't wait to see what kind of improvement I get. Granted I've been using my G2x lately this week and that gets me through out the day without much effort unlike the sensation where I have to worry about battery dying on me during the night when I'm out.

Hopefully this gives me that 2 hour extra juice that's needed. Plus while in school, I could kill the stock htc battery within 5 hours just by web bRowsing.
[HTC Sensation] rickyjune:
What APP is this??

I've recently got an Anker and am disappointed by the performance so far, I get an day and half out of it BUT I use to get that from my standard HTC battery,
[HTC Sensation] fandroid93:
How long have you had it? Mine wasn't great for the first day or so but after that it was perfect.
[HTC Sensation] Dijkstra88:
I can also say that the anker battery is better then the stock battery, longer battery life, runs much cooler then stock. But it runs at 1730mah not 1900. But in the end you can buy them from eBay cheap;)

Verstuurd van mijn HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio met Tapatalk
[HTC Sensation] fandroid93:
How can you tell what your mahs are?
[HTC Sensation] Dijkstra88:
Because some members of the XDA have tested the Anker Battery and they said that the battery gives around 1730 mah not 1900 ;)
[HTC Sensation] sjgore:
After about 6 weeks of flawless use, I've had to stop using my Anker 1900mAh battery because my phone suddenly started switching off quite frequently (every 1 or 2 hours, even when the battery was full or nearly full).

Since reverting back to the stock HTC battery, it has stopped.

Not too impressed, really.
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
Just got mine delivered.

We'll see how it does.
[HTC Sensation] :
I've had my Anker for 2 weeks. Stock battery lasted 3/4 of the day. Anker lasts all day.

Highly recommend.
[HTC Sensation] fandroid93:
Yeah but what I am saying is how can I test it myself? Is there an app or something? Not to be rude but I don't believe much of what people say on XDA because I have literally seen a post that said "Great ROM, real stable, looks amazing. Flashing now!".
[HTC Sensation] rickyjune:
yes but i use to get a DAY with the standard HTC battery but with this battery im very very disappointed that it drops so fast, I been ripped off buying it in the first place and now it last just the same as the standard battery.

VERY DISAPPOINTED :mad:
[HTC Sensation] fandroid93:
Where did you buy it from? A lot of people on Ebay are selling scams. I bought mine from Amazon because it had 60 reviews and every single one of them where good.

Here is a link to the one I bought

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1900mAh-Battery-Sensation-Mytouch/dp/B0053EZJMC#productPromotions
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
You know these have 6 month warranty on them. Send Anker an email.
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
Ok wow, I got the Anker installed (Put it in this morning) and I am trying to discharge it. It had 70% when I put it in, I killed that with an 6 hour youtube video. Charged it up, calibrated the battery and Gosh, it's hard to kill the battery. The stock would definitely been at somewhere 40-30% by now. I got the brightness on high, playing a 6 hour youtube video over wifi. It's been on since about 7:30 and now it's almost 10, and the battery is at 63%. Can't wait to see how it works out for the rest of the week. In the meantime, I'll be using my G2x while I calibrate and workout the battery throughout the weekend.

For me, this is an huge improvement, I don't have to consistently worry about the battery getting low anymore, which is one of the reasons why I'm using the G2x for a while. Believe it or not, the G2x gets me about 12-16 hours on a single charge with moderate-heavy usage.
[HTC Sensation] -juanito-:
I use TripNiCE CM9 ROM and always I get reboot or shutdown :(

If I use my sensation sometimes I get reboot..and if i doesn't use my sensation I get shutdown and if i want turned on I should pull out Banker battery and pull it again in my sensation
[HTC Sensation] ziggypink:
maybe try a battery stats wipe?

I've been keeping updated on Samdroid.net as I have a Samsung Galaxy Spica.

Everytime we installed a new ROM it was suggested to charge the battery to full & then wipe the battery stats file so that the phone re calibrates the battery.

theres an app called battery calibration which does it for you

Don't know if the sensation has that file or not though.... :/
[HTC Sensation] Nyto75:
hi

does anybody tried this one?

http://cgi.ebay.fr/2300mAh-High-Cap...ltDomain_3&hash=item3a6b178c6f#ht_2646wt_1157

[HTC Sensation] Totòòò:
Has anybody tried the anker 2x 1900? Is it much better than the anker 1900 or pretty much the same?
[HTC Sensation] MasterofIllusions:
It's the same battery except you're buying a pack of 2.
[HTC Sensation] OhioDroid80:
I have had my battery now for a few days and I feel that it has done very well so far. I need to find a ROM that meets my needs and stick to it for a week or so, so I can let the system calibrate the battery readings.

I will keep an eye on my wife and her Amaze because she is not rooted and just running stock right now. So far it seems better then the stock amaze battery.
[HTC Sensation] SonnyBBQ:
What did you do when you first got it?

I did 2 full cycles of full charge to completely empty, then re-charged and wiped my battery stats. With my usage, I have about 15-20% extra juice on this battery vs Stock HTC Sensation battery.

Also, do you have a Sensation or Sensation XE?
[HTC Sensation] strumf666:
I had to order 2x1900+travel charger from amazon.co.uk yday. The ebay US seller doesn't want to ship to Slovenia; annoying since amazon is significantly more expensive.

well pi***d, got XE
[HTC Sensation] taffypride:
just bought an Anker 1900mAh battery from Ebay and I must say I am actually pretty impressed so far.

Came ready charged with about 70% battery left....according to Android.

Running as much as I can at the moment to completely drain the battery prior to charging it....in fact as I am typing this, the low battery warning just kicked in after 3hrs 2m 22s on battery and is now telling me I have 14% battery left....

Going to be a good test of the battery and a good test of Android 4.0.1 to see what I can get out of this beasty :)

Edit, this is being tested on a regular Sensation, not the XE (not that it makes any difference as I am running Virtuous 1.4.2 which makes the regular Sensation run at 1.5Ghz Dual Core same as the XE)
