[HTC Sensation] senzenina:
My third day/second full charge. Battery Snap reports 2 days 20 hours plus. 1/3 brightness, sync is untouched since last night's reset. 97% battery after 2 and a half hours on standby and half an hour of relatively sporadic use (a Market download and XDA reading). BT and wifi are always on, half an hour of above standby time is BT music. Last night had 35% left after LOTS of music, some smoke time games and browsing. Needed an hour of evening games to drop it from 35% to 10%. So, its awesome. But you already know that ;)

Would have been sent from my Sensation if I wasn't near a comfortable Razer keyboard

P.S. Just dropped to 1d 18h. Oh well. Still great ;)
[HTC Sensation] Spoofy:
You are not alone, mine is disgusting.

5th cycle, Battery made it 0& on 12hour mark on the dot. No where near heavy usage!

Mine is from Telstra could it be a Firmware issue? What Firmware is everyone using?
[HTC Sensation] imcunner:
The first day i got my sensation it had 10% out of the box. Drained that battery and let it charged all night. Unplugged it at 9am and lasted me untill 7 pm. Lasted me 10 hours on my first charge. It was a moddrste usage, lots of internet browsing and gexting.

Very happy with the battery life, shprised this would last me the whole day compared to my hd2 which i had to charge 3 times a day.

Just installed juice defender ultimate last night, now im on my second cycle. Ill post up how it goes, i did unpluged it at 9am this morning and with 17 minutes of internet browsing i lost 0% so its looking real good. Ill update you guys when im off work.
[HTC Sensation] Bildi13:
It will definitely improve after couple of cycles. I'm unpluging mine at 7am and by 8 in evening I have 20 to 30% left. Internet always on, 3 push mail accounts, a lot other apk usage, hour of phone calls, 20 texts, internet browsing etc.... Noticeable improvement compared to Desire.
[HTC Sensation] imcunner:
Just saw my battery jump from 89% to 79% in a blink of a eye. Something wrong here?
[HTC Sensation] Spoofy:
Mine is the complete opposite, what firmware are you on?
[HTC Sensation] jahmezis45:
Seems to me the drop from 100%-85 takes awhile.most people are saying it stays at 100 for a very long time. once it hits around 85 -60% it drained faster. then 60-50% it drains slower a lot slower.then the rest of the time it seems like

My battery is in a race to die. None of the battery widgets are working for this phone I repeat none they are not showing the right drainage...
[HTC Sensation] schlockmaster:
Sensation Battery LIfe

I also have a Sensation that I got from Expansys but it shipped from the UK. Battery life on this device is terrible. I lose about 15% per hour and just check emails the odd time and talk on the phone maybe 10 minutes in one hour. There is something that could also relate to battery life and that is HTC's use of two different LCD's. One is from Sharp and the other from Acer and they use different amounts of power. Can anyone else confirm this information?
[HTC Sensation] Spoofy:
Has anyone been able to determine why we have so vastly different results?
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Hmm, it must be because of some programs running, i had terrible battery in the start, but after fixing and tweaking some stuff it now lasts for 2 days with light to medium use :)
[HTC Sensation] Hamsn:
When at 100% mine stayed like for 4hours! But after that it dropped gradually, like 2% per hour or so, but day by day performance is getting worse, need to find the reason or the app!
[HTC Sensation] chieloz86:
drain

my drain is 200-300ma. my battery is empty after 8 hours. im working on a place with bad signal. i have gps off. its strange that he used 60% of battery for the screen but almost the whole day i have turned them on standby...

it looks like there is some background app who drains my battery...???

its a great phone but the battery is frustrating...
[HTC Sensation] C0NAN:
I changed my router from a D-Link DIR-615 to a Linksys E3000 and my battery life has improved when at home.
[HTC Sensation] vsandvs:
I too have high drain, 200ma to 500ma according to Battery monitor Widget. Something drains it in background. What program can I use to find how much power every application consumes?
[HTC Sensation] jahmezis45:
Try a anker battery its added four of life to my battery
[HTC Sensation] wouwout:
turn 'better wifi performance' off. It drained my battery a lot.
[HTC Sensation] gr3yh0und:
We got the same problem, what would be the problem?

I assume this must be the Sense 3.0

I hope someone could make a Plain AOSP ROM at 2.3.4 version then maybe we can get a better battery life
[HTC Sensation] chadsin:
I just bought 2 of these phones and mine is great but the wifes is crap! :D She can only talk for an hour before it dies. And her data speeds are half of what mine are.
[HTC Sensation] senzenina:
That's really weird. I noticed talking is the thing that uses the least battery.

[HTC Sensation] phamtasticxd:
Heres mine. I bought this two days ago.

On the first day, I drained my battery and then fully charged it to 100% at 12pm. Throughout the day, I can see my battery drain just by looking at the battery icon. I keep my phone on idle except for texting every now and then. I have wifi, 3g, etc all turned off. I also feel my battery getting hot in my shorts (Not sure if it had anything to do with it.) I get home around 6-7pm and the battery is already low. A day of it being on idle and it still drains that bad... I charged it at roughly 1200am, its 100% battery life. I go to sleep and wake up today at 6:30. My phone is dead. Any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
you guys should look into an app called better battery stats... search the general app forum (not for a specific phone) and its the best app ever for battery usage monitoring... i had same drain and found that my sense account was eating the sh** out of my battery and causing wakelocks all night while sleeping... removed sense account and now its abotu 1% an hour i lose... so check this app out to help you decide what is eating your battery . hope this helps
[HTC Sensation] jamiescott23:
For monitoring what's draining your battery, you guys should try Badass Battery Monitor!

It shows the usage by hardware or by app. I've found out which apps were draining my battery and now me and my XE we both are happier :D

Today I scored two PS3 controllers at a pawn shop for $25. I just tried hooking them up to my XOOM with a USB hub, and the system recognizes both of them. Cool. So, I pop open Mario Kart and test out two player mode.

In the SNESoid settings, there is an option for a second gamepad. I mapped the buttons to one PS3 controller to the first pad, and the other to the second, however, they both seem to want to control player one and two at the same time.

So, has anyone been able to set this up correctly?
[Xoom Accessories] arrtoodeetoo:
No one's tried to play multiplayer with a hub?
[Xoom Accessories] STAT1:
sorry I can't help with your question, but I was wondering what cable you use to connect a single ps3 controller and what software you need (drivers, etc.) Thanks.
[Xoom Accessories] Legacy2385:
I haven't tried to use a hub and a multiplayer game but i will try tomorrow and get back to you. But my otg host cable of choice is this one. I didn't need any special software, just an emulator and some roms to play. Just make sure you map all the buttons on the emulator.
[Xoom Accessories] saber74:
Yeah, it doesn't work: the USB drivers map controller presses to keyboard input (including the analog stick). Therefore though honeycomb recognizes both devices, the output from them looks exactly the same from an app perspective: just keyboard presses. Same thing goes for using a PS3 controller with an Xbox controller. Best thing to do is wait for wiimotecontroller to support PS3 controllers via Bluetooth or mix in wiimotecontrollers.
[Xoom Accessories] arrtoodeetoo:
That's what I thought.

I even looked online to see if there was a way to hack a PS3 controller to make it output different keys. For example, instead of making the directional pad use the up, down, left and right keys, totally remap it to use something like H, J, K and L etc. Unfortunately, this is impossible.

We need a Playstation 3 bluetooth app like what Wii controllers have.
[Thunderbolt General] Uncanny05:
I spoke to a rep yesterday saying that Syracuse will be online with Verizon LTE by the end of June - about ten minutes ago I had 4G LTE signal with approx 10 Mb/s DL and 5 Mb/s UL. It lasted for about 5 minutes and then went back to 3G. My guess is they are going through final base-station/radio testing before turning it on.
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
I've been posting for the past 3 months about 4G being on once in a while in Syracuse. :)

Even had it in Watertown last week for 15 minutes.

Life is good, and is getting better!
[Thunderbolt General] brownat:
4G in watertown...never thought that place would see 4g lol
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang02:
Now only if pulaski could get LTE...doubt it. We can hope right?
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
Yup, towers were upgraded last summer. :-D
[Thunderbolt General] stedrocklp:
My parents live outside of Binghamton and I when I go to visit I go through Albany. I think they need to show some love in the Southern Tier but Syracuse is getting very close. That being said, I want to get some towers up here in Maine but that isnt likely any time soon.
[Thunderbolt General] cliffr39:
yeah I've been hearing June or July since winter so I'm hopeful... and it's nice to see others on here from Syracuse!
[Thunderbolt General] midnight assassin:
It popped on and off a few days ago in Syracuse.

Edit. Just repeating what op said. Didn't realize syr had this many.

[Thunderbolt General] burkett375:

[Thunderbolt General] lespaul0143:
Nice. I live in Rome for the time being until I finish my degree and move to Rochester. Btw... 4g in Rochester is lightning fast.

[Thunderbolt General] brownat:
I went to school in potsdam..surprised that place even had 3g
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
I wouldn't be surprise if they had it at the border in Massena, they have it at the border in Alex Bay, too.
[Thunderbolt General] WorldOfJohnboy:
I work near Downtown Syracuse and my 4G icon appeared again this morning, this time for a bit longer than it did earlier in the month. My business rep. did tell me LTE will be here by the end of summer (this was back in like February)... whenever I see "4G" pop up on my phone, I email her as she has a TBolt. She doesn't confirm anything, but does say that if I am getting LTE connectivity, that is a good sign that they are testing and the activation is coming soon!
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang02:
I wonder how far out of Syracuse it will reach. I have family in Pennellville and Central Square.
[Thunderbolt General] WorldOfJohnboy:
I would think Central Square is more likely since it is near a major highway. If you look at how far Rochester's LTE reaches, it may be close. I don't need it at my house as I use WiFi (have FiOS at home) which saves on my battery.
[Thunderbolt General] ke5hde:
Can't wait for it to come. We live south in Lafayette so I hope I can get it down here. Work in Jamesville so I should get it there. Got to play with 4g in white plains a while back and loved it...faster than my wifi.
[Thunderbolt General] jimnutt:
I'm in Morrisville to the SE, I doubt we'll see 4G here any time soon, but SYR would be nice... and so would Utica for that matter. That would cover both major shopping areas for us.
[Thunderbolt General] trueagle:
I live neat Geneva ny and they have 4g. Its not reaching me 10 miles away. It is hard to toggle of 4g while I am unsure if it will connect , but I do because it extends Bat life.
[Thunderbolt General] Spartan315:
August?

I'm guessing we'll get it in August after Verizon's July batch on the 21st.
[Thunderbolt General] Spartan315:
I talked to a rep at the store on Erie Blvd in East Syracuse. He said that the engineers have been coming in every now and then, and for the most part the network in the area has been deployed, just waiting for Government approval(?).

I guess it turns on for short amounts of time and it shows up on some of the phones. Not sure if its true though.
[Thunderbolt General] Spartan315:
Utica-Rome

Verizon 4G LTE now in Utica-Rome market.
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
I'm right in the middle of a 4G area. There a setting to turn 4g on?
[HTC Sensation] secano:
2G = EDGE

Try changing the settings on Mobile Network to "WCDMA only".
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
I do that and all my bars disappear and I get a little x.
[HTC Sensation] secano:
Check for correct apn settings. Reboot the phone, maybe that does the trick.
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
Underneath that drop down menu where you pick network type, click turn off radio & wait til it says turn radio on & click that.
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
I can't seem to find this.
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Guess I'll have to call tmobile when I get home.
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
1. Dial *#*#*4636#*#* , then select "Phone Information"

2. On the drop down menu select "WCDMA Only"

3. The second radio button says "Turn Radio Off" click it and wait for it to say "Turn Radio On" and click that.
[HTC Sensation] agent.m:
There is another thread where people on t mobile us have the same problem seems it might be a t mobile problem you might want to check that thread for more answers. Hope that helps :)

It's the thread that says no 4g or even 2g
[HTC Sensation] -Kryptic-:
Please help

Is there a fix for gsm? I'm not using tmobile's network but I'm still not able to connect to 4G, I'm currently using a T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G which is compatible with the 4G networks here but I'm only getting a 2G signal even when in a 4G area
[HTC Sensation] microang:
If you're in the states then the HTC sensation only has the bands to work on 3g (fake 4g/ hspa+) on T-Mobile, otherwise you'll be on 2g forever! The sensation does not support 4g lte!
[HTC Sensation] -Kryptic-:
Sigh :(

okay, but I checked before I got the phone & my network provider uses the 850 band which should be compatible with the phone to at least get that 3g (fake 4g/ hspa+) :(

Yea sorry I ment from the doc.

works great with the dock

I use a 500gb mypassport.

It is powered over USB. It works great when plugged into the dock.

I also have an AC powered WD 1tB hdd that works fine too.

Both are NTFS.

Isn't it awesome to be able to play movie content from your NTFS, USB powered drive on your TF? I love laughing at my wife using her iPad. :p
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] blastdabomb:
Any external hard drive basically works...

I use a Seagate 500gb in one of those external cases from DX and it works perfectly well.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] peterg123:
The main Samsung Approved Service Center here in Kenya has just given up on my SGS 1900 UK Model Nov 2010, originally 2.1 firmware upgrade via KIES to Froyo 2.21 in March 2011. They have handed it back unfixed after a week. Cant find a problem like this on any forum/google. Can find one that is fixable with the resistor jig, but Samsung dealer says his jigs don't help:

1) Press power, on comes B&W Samsung GT I900 screen, then the mosaic graphic that resolves to the glowing big "S". Then it buzzes feebly. Eventually it goes black but keeps buzzing now and then. Power off works.

If you poke around trying to get it into 3 touch reset, the Menu and Back keys light up and stay lit.

2) 3 Touch reset will not work. Dunno if it ever did as never tried before.

3) Plug into USB charger, it charges fine and shows the charger icon.

4) Plug into KIES and after a lot of attempts, KIES identifies it + firmware and connects. I can see and save my contacts and it displays CONTACTS, INTERNAL SD and CALENDAR folders in KIES. No more

5) ODIN ( which I dunno how 2 use but have) sees the SGS's COM when I plug it to my comp.

6) The dealer claims to have tried to resart/reflash with Samsung jigs. He has handed it back with a "cant fix".

What the heck is going on here? Looks like I have lost a few hundred bucks and have to throw it away.

When did this start? Phone was working perfectly. Suddenly a solid red icon with large white star labelled "Web Page" appeared on home page but no such App was found in SETTINGS>ETC. In any case, "Web Page" just led me to a totally innocuous page I use all the time as a homepage on INTERNET app. A few starts and shutdowns after that ( the battery was getting low so swx'd on and off like 3 times over an hour), it just went into (1) above.

Phone is STOCK, no mods, no reflashes,no rooting etc

Thanks

Peter in Darkest Africa:eek::eek::eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] frostygenius:
if odin can 'see' you handset, have you tried flashing the ROM again? find a stock froyo rom from one of the threads here in the general section (click here) or download from samfirmware.com .

Once you have the rom files, kill all the KIES tasks using the task-manager in windows. Get your phone into download mode by pressing volume down+menu button+power button until you get the yellow screen showing the android working. then open odin 1.7 and connect your handset. once odin connects, click on the buttons for PDA,PHONE and CSC in odin and browse to the appropraite file which you've download in the rom. also click on the PIT button, browse to the odin folder and select the 512.pit file. Once this is done, check the main odin window to make sure the check-box next to 're-partition' is

checked

. click start and it should flash the new firmware for you.

Disclaimer: I do not take responsibility for any harm that may come to your phone during the flashing process. The instuctions above are accurate but are to be performed at your own risk.

flash Darky Rom 10.1 with JVO Modem . Best GPS i´ve ever had, and my GPS was really bad.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] R34L2Pac:
@frostygenius

I don´t think that your instrunctions ARE accuarate. You don´t even mention that he has to be in Download mode if he wants to use Odin. Also you advise to connect phone right after opening Odin and than insert the files, but some versions of Odin are known that they malfunctioning if you do this in this order, You should first insert files and set odin and after that plug in your phone.

And if he claims that he is on stock since bought the phone, so maybe he never used it before.

@peterg123

I´m not exactly following what happens to your phone. If I understand correctly the Samsung released defective ROM via KIES and after a week turn it down? But you already updated and now your phone is broken? If yes, I think that Samsung service center should repair your phone or if its serious damage than even replace it.

Is the phone able to boot-up and work properly? Is your recovery mode and/or download mode working? If the download mode (use 3-button combo - VolDown+Home+Power) is working then you can try recover on your own, but be careful, dont do anything before you are sure that you know what you are doing. You can go through this post before start [HOWTO] [REF] [FAQ] [Guides] [Tutorials] Flash/Root/ADB/ROM [MUST READ!].

Also go through the forum or samfirmware.com and find your official version of rom (Eclair 2.1) to be sure that you can anytime revert to this one because of warranty.

EDIT: Also can you please post some photos or video showing what happens to your phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DMD9:
Ok, I dunno if this is gonna help but I had a very similar issue when I first got my phone, within a week of owning it.

Points 1-3, exactly what happened mine.

Points 4 & 5 I didn't try, (was fairly new to Android)

Left it in to my local Vodafone shop & within 5 days I had it back in perfect working order, the maintenance report stated faulty hardware, the display module had to be replaced. Maybe worth mentioning to the service guy?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] frostygenius:
Thanks for the heads-up :) I forgot to mention those points. I've updated my original post.
