[HTC Sensation] Shery4life:
i have done some test on myhtc sensation

first test that i did was charged myphone o 100percent and then tuned brightness fully up wifi on gps on bluetooth on and i played asphalt 6 on it and after 2hour and 20 minutes my battery was dead.

the second test i did was kept the brightness on auto turned everything off wifi bluetooth gps and mobile internet and then i played the same game asphalt 6 and it lasted 4ours and 30 minutes

and third test was everything off and this time i only used it for normal calling and text and the battery lasted my 18 hours and i still had 23 percent left.

between this is the result i got with my battery but your result can be different

between it took me week for al these test

i used battery indicator pro

which showed me the time i took my battery of charge so with my calucation this was my result.

the main thing is that the battery life on htc sensation is very crap when you use wif gps bluetooth or mobile internet because they drian battery very much

oh and nearly forgot i'm running andriod hd 3.6.2 revolutionary by mike which is ruuning at 1.5 ghz
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
Sucks as has every 4g phone ive owned, have two back ups batteries too make it through a normal day.
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
Hmm I did noticed with the Anker battery you really do have to do five full charge/discharge cycles everytime you flash a new ROM. I neglected to do so while I was running Revolutionary HD and battery life was garbage.

[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
try an anker battery 1900 mah or chitech (w.e it is called). These aren't that expensive, try ebay but try and make sure that they arent from china, they are generally fake from there, i'd advise you to go to amazon. If the price is about $60, then the supplier is running out of stock and the price will drop to about $10-$15 when they recieve more.
[HTC Sensation] treecritter:
Haven't seen anybody mention it, but, since i instaled latest RUU ( RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.12.401.2.... ) my battery life almost doubled. Maybe its my imaginaton but I got to something like 40+ hours. And I would say average usage, wached a movie played tiki kart for like 10 mins, wlan on gps on mobile network on, oh yeah and casualy surfed net and made some phone calls. Before my battery drained like many of you say it drains. Maybe I'm just lucky and my battery got magickal boost :D
[HTC Sensation] AngrySalad:
The stock battery life on this phone is the pits. I was constantly charging after about 14 hours of light use. I rarely use it at work and learned to turn off wifi and data when not using it. Screen at 20% now. Once I started using MIUI things got a little better but I still bought an Anker anyway. Now I usually go abouts 20 hrs on average without charging.
[HTC Sensation] NecroNomNicoN:
Battery life

Been able to compare ARHD (GB) latest rom running at 1.5ghz had that for a while and had less than stellar life compared with bone stock....maybe due to the o/c not sure...

Now I'm running Virtuous Inquistion 3.0 latest ICS senseless ROM...and the battery life seems to be better than stock..plus it runs like stink...:D...(meaning fast)

I cant say enough good things about this ROM....I'm in love with my sensation.....
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
use automateit.

link to discussion: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123423

it's my new obsession... :D

anyway, I'm using Evo 3D battery and I've been getting pretty decent usage time.

medium to medium heavy use I'm getting around 16-18 hours.

more then enough to get through the day.

since using automateit to turn on and off stuff automatically I'm seeing around maybe 2 more hours of juice from the estimate above.

stock battery wasn't too bad either though... 12-14 on same amount of use... if I remember correctly.

I use the evo 3d battery with senseay 2.1 (now renamed androidme). Just went 4 days of light use on one charge, wifi and sync on the whole time, automatic brightness with the tweak to lowest brightness.
[HTC Sensation] FinancialWar:
I just got this phone, it really suck
[HTC Sensation] dullhunk:
I am getting only 8-10 hours on my battery using insertcoin rom.....not satisfied :(
[HTC Sensation] one80oneday:
I use Auto WiFi On/Off because it's small, simple, and works great for me.

We really need an good app that can give a detailed report with a battery life score for us to really compare battery life between users/roms/phones. It's too easy for someone to say they got X amount of hours/days and not be able give an accurate description of their use, even with a screen shot with percents/graphs.
[HTC Sensation] dcavx:
I always have horrible battery life on the Sensation, even when wifi is off. I'm thinking the battery may have gone bad.
[HTC Sensation] dragonnson:
I do not know what you guys are talking about...my battery is just appallingly awful. Just playing music, I can sometimes get about 6 hours in with it in my pocket and just music, and it drops to 20%. If I play a game it can drop to about 50% in a half hour...I don't know about you but thats appalling. With moderate usage throughout the day I am always nearly dead at supper.
[HTC Sensation] crisisinthecity:
My Anker batteries last all day and through the night with moderate use all day and heavy use from 7-11pm. About 29 hours.

Are you using the stock battery?
[HTC Sensation] zaki0saad:
I've gone 10 hours with my phone still on 100% :rolleyes:

Use better kernels, set the CPU governor to conservative while the screen is off, use GSM network connection over WCDMA and most importantly adjust your own screen brightness! The large screen our phones contain is a very power-hungry component. Limit it's brightness and you'll be better off ;)
[HTC Sensation] manuelkuhs:
For everyone reporting battery life:

Instead of saying "medium", "light" or "heavy" usage, which is extremely subjective, here is a very simple way of making it objective:

Download Battery Monitor Widget (or similar), go to Estimates -> Statistics, and at least mention % time Awake and % time Screen On.

For example, here's mine from today:

Battery: 78%

On battery: 4h06m

Awake 41%

Screen on 17%

Already you can see that a large battery drain is that my phone was "awake" for nearly 2 hrs - even though the screen was only on 1 hr. That can usually explain a lot of the battery drain.

In my case, that extra hour was due to listening to music with the screen off - but if you don't know what is causing the extra awake, then you can save a lot of battery by identifying and disabling the culprit.

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 AM ----------

Seems like you only had your screen on 5 times or so over 4 days. Most people who like smartphones have the screen on a million times because, well, they use their smartphone a lot :) So just make sure no-one expects to be able to use their smart phone regularlyl and get 4 days usage!

50% battery loss in half an hour should never happen. Something wrong. Do hard reset and test it on pre-installed apps etc. If you still have this problem, return the phone for repair/replacement.
[HTC Sensation] Rackfoo:
Rooted stock Senny 4G

I used to get 8-12 hours with medium use:browsing, phone calls, testing, and a little gaming.

I switched to goLauncher, goSms, goDialer, et. all... I turn off automatic sync, mobile network at home and office, and lower my brightness to around 35%.

I saw a HUGE improvement in battery life. I knew that the mobile network drained the battery quickly, but now I suspect that even when you have your wifi enabled, unless you disable the 4G network, it stays running in the background. I'm not a developer, so this is all anecdotal, but I think that the biggest drain is the 4G network.
[HTC Sensation] exxeHR:
cca 10 hours on 1 hour sync interval, screen on auto, wifi on half of the time...
[HTC Sensation] insomniac74:
Stock Sensation (eu), Anker battery

Gmail & exchange account on push, other sync from 1-6hrs depending on app. WiFi on at home (never sleep), mobile data (3g) on when leaving the house. I turn 3g off at home due to bad signal strength.

After changing to anker battery I usually charge the phone in the evening, then turn off all data/sync at might. Come morning battery meter is still at 100%.

I get between 4-5 hrs screen on time, always ending up at 75-80 % of battery usage. Calls seem to reduce possible screen on time about the same as the duration of the call. When I charge again after 22 hours or so battery is at about 15% typically.

On stock battery I hardly got 4 hours screen on time. :mad:
[HTC Sensation] Zedrax:
My battery experience is fine . Usually I stop charging my phone at 7 am and charge it about 40 minutes in the noon.it just shut down at 10 pm after my class over.for me it's enough.btw 3g connection always on
[HTC Sensation] ptit developer:
I use "Battery Monitor Widget Pro" to follow my battery consumation, and I use 80 percents in 36 hours.

I use phone call, a lot of sms, few wifi, some games (few 3D and standard other), a lot of times to see the current time,

If someone want, I can put a screenshot of Battery Monitor (for exemple : yesterday), and you can see informations in my signature.

Want good battery life?

Either use rmk's senseless ics and firmware

Or if u like aosp

Use miui and use setcpu to clock the kernel at 1.2 ghz and in profiles menu under clock down to 384mhz when screen is off.

Amazing battery life with decent amount of use.

[HTC Sensation] insomniac74:
I tried jd some time ago, but couldn't really notice too much difference. It was still screen on time that would drink the juice, not idle. Another issue was that the data connection could sometimes not be reestablished after being shut down by jd. Had to reboot the phone to get it back. :confused:

[HTC Sensation] pwoita:
I just got my Sensation XE a few days ago. it came with a 1730mAh battery.

As you know the battery life is pretty meh on sensations.

The Anker one is only 1900 which is only 10% more and not enough for me to bother.

My question is whether there is any difference beyond this - as in would it somehow last longer than the numbers suggest based off possibly the stock battery being a cheap battery? Or is it really just 10% difference as it appears it would be?
[HTC Sensation] der_erdling:
I also got a question about the Anker accu.

When I discharge my Sensation, the device somehow assumes the max mAh are ~1500 (or 1700?), and then the Battery indicator stays at 100% for a long time, until it hits the assumed mAh. Is there a way to fix this?
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
Nope, that's the extra mah difference from the stock battery.
[HTC Sensation] nextai:
I get about 24 hours with 2:30 hours of screen on, auto backlight through the day, manual to 20-30 % in the evening , a little 2d or 3d gaming and some youtube hd . I also listen to some radio for about one hour total and keep wifi on only at home. Data connection is kept off.

If I play Ingress, I get about two hours of battery life total :laugh:
[HTC Sensation] karolisdirma:
The battery life of Sensation is trully not the best, but I'm quite satisfied with it. I usually have to charge my phone every evening, but battery lasts quite well all the day (so I'm getting about 24+ hours with normal using).

I have tried some apps as JuiceDefender, but don't think they helps a lot, maybe just a little, so decided to go without them.

Looking forward to try Anker battery one day, I heard it's awesome, isn't it?

[HTC Sensation] niuxed:
With an Anker battery and albino's CM10.1, I am getting around 15-16 hours of battery life with 2-3 hours of screen on time. The variance is due to how much time I spend with no signal due to my crappy classrooms.
[HTC Sensation] hltbest:
By far the best ROM for battery is the Viper sense 4. Could easily last the day with high usage =) I'm currently on cm10.1 and battery is average to poor but I have 3 batteries so I don't mind cause I can replace it when I runs out Haha.

[HTC Sensation] Tangent_:
With the stock year and a half old battery I had to recharge mid way through the day, and if I was using it further I'd have to plug it in in the evening too. Now with an Anker 1900 it usually lasts me all day. I'm currently at 48% nearly 8 hours after being unplugged.

[HTC Sensation] johnny170:

[HTC Sensation] XirXes:
I always got fairly unsatisfactory battery life with the stock batteries. I don't know how long it was but it tended to be 2 or 3 hours short of my needs, could't make it to the end of the day. I have 2 Sensations, one is both crush and water damaged. I used the crushed one to keep a battery charging all the time. I recently bought an Anker 1900 mah battery off Amazon and it has been night and day. Last night I finally plugged it in at like 1 am and it still had above 40%.

As far as my power management habits, I have none. Bluetooth, Wifi, GPS and mobile data are always on. I use auto brightness and 1.5 GHz, and I set my mobile data to 3g only. I think that 3g only might actually help instead of hurt battery life. When it has to do some data stuff it doesn't spend as long doing it. Only one gmail account set to sync all the time.

[HTC Sensation] Kepee:
My battery got quite bad during last autumn.. If I charged it up to 100%, it would quickly start dropping from there in no time. For example, unlocking the phone, opening the Facebook app to check a few updates, then closing the app and locking the phone again could drain 5% of the battery. But when it dropped down to ~15% it would stop dropping. I could watch an entire HD movie and still have 5% left. It got very frustrating and recalibrating the battery didn't help, I tried many times. The battery could drop to 20% in the first six hours of usage, mostly sitting in my pocket with everything except data connection turned off, checking Facebook and some RSS feeds for ~5 minutes at a time, about once every hour. So basically 30 minutes of active usage + 5½ hours of stand-by drained the battery to 20%.

I got an Anker 1900 mAh battery yesterday and it's looking awesome. I've been streaming music, playing around and so on. 35% left, 18h off the charger. But I'm not sure how accurate that is since I reset the battery stats after charging the battery for the first time.

My battery experience is awful. This is a demonstration of just how lousy the battery calibration in my sensation is.

The data is derived with Zooper Widget (nothing wrong with the app, just the phone)

-battery level 23%--->time left <2 hours

-battery level 70%---> time left about 40 minutes.

-battery level 100%---> time left ZERO minutes.

PS: it's not the "charging time left" (for those who are skeptical), it's battery remaining time. i thought it was the charging time at first, it's not.

hTC never again :angel:

[HTC Sensation] KiD3991:
I got a 2 day not charged using Stock XE battery.

Due to ViperS ROM I cant really show you the screen on time, but its low usage, means no movies. 15 minutes of gaming.

Whatsapp always on. 50% of the time wifi is on. Brightness low.Using GREENIFY(try it). WeChat usage.

Constant Whatsapp messages, means around 20 to and fro messages every hour I'm awake.

The spikes are caused by rebooting the device. Ya know... Rebooting gives it another unreliable few %'s of battery.

Here's a pic. :)

If you'd want some tips and tricks, you can try PM me and give a Thanks here. :D
