I been having battery issues even since the official update to ICS. That's when I started trying different ICS and now jelly beans roms. Battery life still horrible no matter what I try. I would go try a 2.X rom but then I would lose around dozen apps because they stopped receiving updates for 2.x. I'm gonna probably going to cave and switch to a non-htc phone. HTC is dead to me.

Stock Rom my battery life was terrible. Couldn't get it to last 6 hours. Didn't take long to start playing with other roms. Much better battery life. Just installed new Viper Rom, battery sucked again until I blocked most of the Google stuff, from auto startup and now battery is lasting longer than ever.
[HTC Sensation] Far_SighT:
I have a Sensation XE which is little more than a year old. With my current Rom and performance governer@1728 I can literally count the battery level going down!!!

I have to use powersave if I am on battery.

Otherwise, the battery is cool!!!

Autonomy is fine.

Easily reaching a full day, as long as i am being careful with wifi (scan for search seems to be very greedy).

I am using CM 10.1 (Kang / albinoman). Battery is stock.

Those shots using "stock" kernel, no overclocking, no specific settings.

I also tried sultan kernel, which provides more options, will post some shots using it at some point.
[HTC Sensation] Clawsman:
terrible!

one match with candy crush saga (lasted 3 min) sucked 10% of my battery

Battery life

Well, as far as battery life goes, i find that brightness levels, wifi and of course the rom you are using matters a lot. With frankinstine's aokp rom(JB), and with Leopard rom(ICS) i got great battery life.. like two days of continuous use...

Now experimenting with ither roms to see if they meet the requirements...:o

battery or charging circuit or .....

yesterday I was navigating with GPS on as well as data (for map drawing) and bluetooth (to communicate directions to the BT device, doesn't work. more on that later). Waze was the navigator.

With 100% charge as I left and charging on USB power in car, at approx 2 hrs and 15 mins, the batt was so hot (at 20% charge), it shut down, saying that it was drawing more current then charging could keep up with. The last temp I saw was 103ºF.

Trying to figure out if I have a batt issue or a charging circuit issue or if this normal.

OEM batt, 2yo.
[HTC Sensation] manuelkuhs:
It is well known that GPS navigation with screen on draws more current than can be charged in the car.

It's also well known that GPS & Bluetooth are the worst battery suckers for smartphones.

I don't think there's any phone that can last more than 3 hours with GPS & bluetooth & screen on so don't worry about it :)

Battery model

Hi

I want to buy a new battery for my sensation Ze, but i don't know if there is some good model of battery or should i buy the same model of original one

Thanks

[HTC Sensation] stanuel:
Hi guys.

I'm still okay with the stock battery.

Well, I'm not very often to use it for heavy game though.

Today is my best records, the battery is up to 24+ hours.

My spec for that:

Stock battery, custom ROM (VenomS 3.1.0 :cool:), 200-300 messaging, play game (minion rush, fruit ninja) +/- 20-30 min total, manual sync (5 or 6 times a day), network 3G only when needed mostly on GSM mode, GPS and Bluetooth only when needed, phone call +/- 1-2 hours total, email and chat, taking several photos (high res), power saver mode on.

But on average it's only about 15-18 hours.

Still happy with stock battery for now. :D
[HTC Sensation] atulvijay007:
same as most of persons

hello Guys ...i think most of them cant make the battery use more then 2-3 hrs from full charge to battery while using the internet and the HD games in use..but even on the normal use with only mobile internet on it will use the gps time to time and cant go beyond 5-6 hrs...even the battery easily getting hot while playing games and all..

wakelocks

in looking at the GSam kernal wakelocks, I find kgsl-2d1 for 3:16:28.

Anyone know what that is?

everything else seems fine. But I'm burning battery at what seems to be a much higher rate then I did 6 months ago.

I dumped from BBS and that seemed to be good.

In idle I get 5-10% usage on the overnight of 10 hours give or take.

My screen is dimmed to 20%, 90% of the time.

Auto syncs are off. No Friendstream or the like. Not a game player.

Currently I'd say WiFi is in use as is WiFi Calling (TMoUS) 70% of the time, but the "4G" is foo during that time as I'm not near a tower.

I have an OEM batt and a 2yo Anker 1900. Both seem to exhibit greater batt usage then 6 months ago.

ViperS 1.6.3 the whole period.

Or are both m batts getting "soft" at the same time?

Has anyone tried any of the other batts from ebay?
[HTC Sensation] johnny170:
I lost 4-5% every 5 minutes. I think my battery is dying.
[HTC Sensation] raz0rf1sh:
What kernel, what ROM?
[HTC Sensation] Cyberius92:
I swap between stock and the anker 1900 mah battery, and can't complain about both. They are both 2 years old, used daily, but both going strong since the load is divided between them.
[HTC Sensation] metropical:
what kind of usage life do you get in hours/%.?
[HTC Sensation] Cyberius92:
Off hand, with heavy usage, I get around 16 hours on the anker battery and 10 on stock.
[HTC Sensation] metropical:
that's what I use to get. But I've dropped off to perhaps 8-10 with moderate usage.

I think my batts are toast or the phones charging circuit is weak.
[HTC Sensation] Cyberius92:
I take good care when charging, and use an external charger which came with anker to be sure that the batteries are charging to 100%.
[HTC Sensation] ahmy:
seems like my battery take a long time to charge to full 100%,maybe 4-5 hours,using the original charger but when using wifi for some browsing,social thing it drops drastically..

is it my phone got the problem (mobo thing) or the battery it self?
[HTC Sensation] thanet:
I have the same as U, now I change to anker, so everything go well.

Change,change :)
[HTC Sensation] zeri1133:
As previous repliers I got anker battery and a full day usage now
[HTC Sensation] ahmy:
so after using anker,how long did the battery last for normal usage(wifi,sms,social thing) ,for me only 7-9 hours
[HTC Sensation] cissed:
I get only around 6-8 hours of heavy use. But I an extra stock battery to last me the whole day. That's with WiFi and GPS on.

[HTC Sensation] Paulofages:
With Android1234567 Kitkat rom and anker battery, I'm actually with 1 day, 2h12 screen on, and 40% left. Wifi was on almost all the time but no 3g. I usually charge it every day/1,5day. I think this rom is the best battery life experience I had with this phone! Only 7% wakelocks.

which type of battery do you guys recommend to use?
[HTC Sensation] blogodoblogodo:
Sensation One ^^, its a joke,

Anker or MuGen, Mugen is very good, i'm waiting for the Anker to test it...

Here some users like the Anke's one and some the Mugen's

U got to test it to get your own experience
[HTC Sensation] topgeardave:
Mugen are junk, they cost loads of money and battery capacity depreciates really quickly within a matter of months. I'd recommend people to stick with anker and their 18 month warranties

battery life of sensation

actually its very bad when see cell phone like sensation have bad battery 1520 mAh its very low :(

I am on CM11 by android 1234567 with Kernel 52 using an 1700 HTC battery. After 8 hours the remaining percentage is 55%. With the 12/29 build it was better.
[HTC Sensation] DobbyDook:
With 01/04 and 12/30 version and 51/52 kernel battery life is 8 hours Instead with viper 3.1.4 is 11 hours for me.

Have you try 01/04 for battery life to see diffwerence?
[HTC Sensation] huzaljoe:
Sorry, I forgot to mention that I use 01/04 and also ART. In the beginning it was promising but later it started to drain quickly.
[HTC Sensation] cipher75:
Sudden drop of battery

I have installed CM11 from Android1234567, build 04/01, sultan kernel r52 (default options on aroma)

I am experiencing sudden drops of battery percentage, with all the three batteries i am using (one being less old than a month).

Symptom is : battery percetage around 60%, then it drops to a value close to zero, phone then shutdown (most of the time i only see it off). If i restart it, then the battery level is close to zero (below 10%).

Another thing is if i put back the battery in charge (i am using an external charger) it's fully charged quite quickly.

I would incriminate my two stocks batteries for being too old if there was not the new one i just started using ...

I just switched from stock rom and i didnt experienced that sudden drop (back to custom after being back for a while on ics stock rom)

Would be possible that there could be an issue with the driver that reads the battery status ? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] blogodoblogodo:
Maybe the Kernel on these ROMS

Have u got a battery App, or you use only the stock battery menu in parameters
[HTC Sensation] DobbyDook:

[HTC Sensation] blogodoblogodo:
GPS apps drain batteries but as this is very weird. How old is your battery, is this a stock or another
[HTC Sensation] cipher75:
I am using three batteries, two being stock batteries (one that came with the phone that might be worn out, another one i bought afterwards, less than one year ago), the third one is a chinese battery, i just started using it two weeks ago).

I ordered and received today two ankers batteries, which will be another test.

However i read in ION kernel thread that i might be not the only one to encounter that issue :

How much mAh

not bad it will be better
[HTC Sensation] cipher75:
It is actually much better :good:

Today : 70% left after 45mn screen on and 5h30 being on battery.

I haven't experienced unwanted shutdown as before, even when beeing close to 10% left.

After three days of testing, the phone holds the whole day, on moderate use (2-3 hours screen on).

Inactivate wifi when not at home, scan is still power hungry

Installed greenify and put to sleep a few apps

Disabled localisation which is really bad on my network
[HTC Sensation] blogodoblogodo:
70% left after 45min... you use it or it was just sitting there

what are you doing with the phone??

70% after 5h 30min, 45min of screen on. Read a bit.

45min of screen on that mean that he use the phone only 45min???

sorry for my english Google translator help me but sometimes the translation is not understandable.
[HTC Sensation] nielsi0wnt:
My battery was fully drained after 7 hours and 30 minutes with 25 minutes screen on.

My battery drains this fast since I am using the Kitkat ROM from Android1-7. I hadn't this fast-drain issue with the stock ROM.

I bought a new battery (Anker 1900MaH) a couple of days ago, so I will test the new battery when I received it.

[HTC Sensation] Babyhustle:

[HTC Sensation] cipher75:
Yes 45 mn screen on. Screen on time is actually a fine indicator of the time of use you might expect.

Today even better 14h on battery, 2h screen on, 45% left !

Using it to surf the Internet using Opera classic, hangout, friendcaster, instagram. Nothing unusual ...

To achieve that I checked again wavelocks, targeting localisation (this sucks badly battery on my French network free mobile, I don't know why). cLock is quite a bad fellow as default setting use localisation to update weather even if you aren't using it)

WiFi was off most of the time (especially the advanced parameter aimed to alert when an open network is available).

Screen is on very low brightness, turning off after 15s (minimum setting).

I must say when finely tuned, this ROM is really impressive !

If I always turn off my internet connection while I'm not using the phone, do I still need apps like Greenify ?
[HTC Sensation] mahdibassam:
All you need to do is turn off your Wifi and Bluetooth when you dont use them. Greenify is an extra app that you should have to save that little bit more of battery life. it doesnt have anything to do with your internet connection, u should install it anyway.

Hmm.. I continued to check what battery life i can get out of my sensation, and the thing is- i can easily get to those 5 hours screen time, if i don`t use Mobile data- I use only Wifi. With wifi i can do whatever i want, and screen time will be ~5 hours.

But when i`m on move and have to use Mobile Data, MAX screen time I managed to get was ~4 hours- normally It`s ~3 hours.

The question is- why such a big difference in those two data types? Is it because of that RILJ wakelock? Maybe someone knows?!
