[HTC Sensation] android_geek_here:
On stock, hardly 3h screen on time. Auto sync off, wifi on 24/7. No mobile internet. Mail, facebook notifications checking once in couple of hours.
[HTC Sensation] bbc0d3:
Stock battery that i had was bad- it`s worked for about 2days with ARHD rom.

Now i`m using MugenPower battery(1920mAh)- 3-4days.
[HTC Sensation] lolwut1338:
got a anker battery, but its still draining very much.. i think i need another rom :/
[HTC Sensation] DruidXL:
I am using a battery from Ravpower for 6 month now. with wifi and 3g on, auto sync off, a custom rom from MIUI. I can get just over one day of moderate use out of it. No big complaints, but i wish it could be longer in the future.
[HTC Sensation] shadowfantom:
Just about 1,5h screen on, relly bad

[HTC Sensation] NiTrOwow:
Mine is doing great after some undervolting and changing the screen brightness to low and CPU governor in AOKP to 'ondemand' @ 1188mhz.

It still itsn't as good as my old HTC Touch Diamond or Samsung SGH-G600. But yeah it is a smart phone..

A small computer and not a phone that is limited to only calling and with just a few stock apps. Well the HTC Touch Diamond is a smart phone too but i don't know the screen is really small in size and i think it doesn't take up much power i guess.
[HTC Sensation] johnyfly1:
I charge battery two times for day very baad :(
[HTC Sensation] fmedrano1977:
Sucks
[HTC Sensation] lexic4all:
agree, battery life is terrible, 6-7 hours MAX.
[HTC Sensation] krakou69:
As far i experience with HTC phones, the battery must do some cycle to be fully functionnal.

With my HTC Desire, the first day of use i cant use a day long.

But after few cycle, i can do 2 days without charge.

I think the Sensation will be the same, let it do few cycle (fully discharge).

Dont charge it even it wil be @ 20% charge

Let it fully discharge (the phone will shut off alone :) )
[HTC Sensation] idavid_:
At the end of the day, I'm left with everything from 15 to 40 %. Not so bad imo

[HTC Sensation] buzmay:
My battery life is very good actually. I have my mail, gmail account, weather, HTC sense, twitter and linked in sync. Also the screen is set to automatic brightness. I am having all time 3g and browse and sms quite a lot. What I don't have on is gps and haptic feedback is disabled.

I unplugged the device at 6 am is now almost 1 am (19 hours) and still having 43% left. I had a Samsung galaxy SII and for me the sensation battery is by far superior
[HTC Sensation] kfgtboypsp:
19 hours and still going. Thanks to eugenes/teamwin temp-root. Freezing bloatware with TB helped a lot with the battery and if u peepz havent tried it yet use battery calibrate from the market. Lovin my battery life so far. :-)
[HTC Sensation] secano:
Can people claiming 15+ hours with heavy usage post screenshots of the battery use?
[HTC Sensation] htcsensation:
mine 2 days
[HTC Sensation] pinhead:
I hope the the photo below is clear enough. I used my G-Slate since I don't know how to get screen shots without rooting. My Sensations battery life when in use has been only a be better than other Android devices. However, in standby it is amazing. Truly.
[HTC Sensation] shorty87:
My battery life hasn't been great. I have to charge it every night at the very least. When I'm home, my WiFi is always on as well as WiFi Calling. I'm thinking that is killing my battery fairly quickly. Besides that, I have Gmail and Weather syncing. I check Facebook every few hours and browse the web.
[HTC Sensation] infanite:
Quite a difference coming from a blackberry, but its gotten a lot better since the first couple days. I'm sure getting rid of the bloatware in the future will help too
[HTC Sensation] secano:
Check THIS out. 100% to 4% in 3 hours. So, this is max amount of battery you're gonna get with:

Screen on the whole time - Max brightness.

WiFi - On

Bluetooth - On
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Ok... I have a total of 3 OEM batteries. One that came with my phone and 2 other spares. The one that came with my phone is about 3 weeks old, My newest one is only 3 days old and the middle child one is about a week and a half old. I basically charge them fully then wait until it drains fully and turns off before switching the batteries.

Someone said that after a while battery life gets better. I am proof of that. Last night my 3 week old battery lasted over 14 hours With moderate use!

the middle battery that's a week and a half old lasted about 10 with moderate use

and the newest one (still going through the 5 charge conditioning cycle) only lasts about 7, 8 hours tops.( this is what I got from my original battery at first as well)
[HTC Sensation] mitchsurp:
I went 12 hours from start to finish, auto brightness and stock rom (obviously). I'm a moderate-to-heavy user, and was pleased by my results. It was only after the 12th hour that the sensation had disabled haptic feedback.

Wifi off at work, full 4g signal, and gps and bluetooth are rarely turned on.
[HTC Sensation] Slorks:
I've been fortunate with moderate use. I can go through a whole day with 15% to spare at the end of the night.
[HTC Sensation] kabuk1:
Battery life definitely gets better with time, that's true for any device. Gadgets need time to learn the battery & use it appropriately. The first couple days, though, I was actually contemplating reversing my upgrade cause I couldn't make it through half a day. Now, It's been off the charger since about 2pm & it's still at 52%. That's with moderate usage too- music, podcasts, web browsing, etc. BUT- this is also thanks to running the perma-temp root hack & freezing all the bloatware that was killing my battery. I really recommend that everyone do that :>
[HTC Sensation] buzmay:
Here is a screenshot of mine, apologies for the quality, however I am sure is quite visible. By the way my device is not root and in a post before I specify what I do have disabled and enabled.
[HTC Sensation] riz157:
I'm also sgs2 owner thinking about getting the sensation, get bored quickly. Would you recommend me doing this?
[HTC Sensation] buzmay:
I have owned a SGS2 is a great device, however is quite boring device. I have changed to a Sensation and I am quite happy with it. I do not give a damm that on the benchmarks the SGS2 is by far superior, the Sensation is a much nicer device and quite fast and reliable. For me battery life is by far better than the SGS2. And when it finally gets perm root and S-Off, some great ROMS will be out there.
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
your pic shows that you charged the phone (the spike going up near the middle) at some point. Technically, from my understanding, the day and change usage of battery is not exactly accurate recording by the phone. It might still be close but not as lengthy as advertized. Do you happen to know what your on screen time was during this period? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] mahdibassam:
wow

Im the thread OP, i was looking at my profile stats and the threads i started. I just came back to this thread after 2 years . Iv jumped to around 10 different phone in these 2 years :D Good memories on the Sensation though :) PEACE
[HTC Sensation] navolmixa:
20 hours with 5 hours screen on (mugen 1950mAh)
[HTC Sensation] mrbkkt1:
Yeah, even though I don't use my senny anymore, the form factor (convex screen, battery cover "case") was the best of any phone I've had. Too bad the rest of the phone wasnt up to snuff.
[HTC Sensation] den10:
I'll be lucky if I get 8 bloody hours on the stock battery
[HTC Sensation] nhaixin69:
Its crap.
[HTC Sensation] niki96:
5 hours of heavy usage and I'm on 6%, sucks, huh? :P

Btw. I have stock battery!
[HTC Sensation] nhaixin69:
I'm using a 1850mah battery and its just SLIGHTLY better than stock batt.

This phone just draws too much power.
[HTC Sensation] Shadehawk:
With stock battery I was having to charge it from 20% after an 8 hour day of regular use. Installed the XE 1790 mAh battery and I drain to 50% in the same amount of time. I have also noticed an increase in battery life after flashing ViperS ROM with an updated kernel. I'm getting increases even when overclocking to 1.7ghz
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
All those results are largely influenced by rom/kernel in use. I went as low as playing for a couple of hours and ran out of battery and as high with 3g on with moderate use for a full day and still be left with 50%.

Yeah our handheld isn't the best in terms if battery life, but I find the above factors to be way more important.

A not so accurate reading, jelly bean draws more battery then I can drink coffee, a stock kernel with either sense or ICS (hyper sense for example) can be extremely sparing on battery use.

Right now I'm with Hyper Sense and the stock kernel and I get home everyday with 60% more or less.
[HTC Sensation] hz319:
i get 15-16 hours out of mine max with moderate use.
[HTC Sensation] magnus the bullmastiff:
My battery life is awfull! I get three hours of screen time and i have to charge it every evening.

Not very happy...
[HTC Sensation] Sgt.Incontro:
Yeah, as everyone has already said, its pretty crap.

This phone draws way too much power - IMO the three biggest culprits are the processor, the screen, and the 3G radio.

My brother has a HTC One S with S4, and the snappiness, and pure efficiency of it is amazing. Runs way faster and draws way less power (runs cool too, my phone is always burning hot). Not to mention it having one of the best phone screens ever made IMO.
[HTC Sensation] niekschoemaker:
battery life

I had a normal Htc battery, with modarate use it lasted about 8 hours,

bought a new battery from the internet recently, for $3.87 (from priceangels, just search htc sensation <can't post link I never post anyting> then the 2100 mah battery) and battery life is way better now.
[HTC Sensation] Crespovski:
I've bought an ANKER battery of 1900 mAh,

With ViperS 3.0.1, TURBO BOOST v2.80 and doing the paper trick pushing the battery...

...no aleatory reboots nor shutdowns, and battery works for a day and a half without charging :cyclops:
[HTC Sensation] photonxda:
I lost 10 percent per hour while listening to the music
[HTC Sensation] TookeX:
1 hour usage about 10-20 percent
[HTC Sensation] K2.PCTDN:
2 hours surfing web on wifi and my battery only has ~20% left. With wifi and 3G always on, moderate using, it consumes 30-40% per hour. I'm using ARHD 6.8.0

IMO, the battery is really BAD.
[HTC Sensation] paradice55:
Draining battery life

With the stock rom of Sensation XE and fully updated, the battery life of my phone drained very fast. but after i installed the custom rom of albinoman887, it did not drained like the stock rom.
[HTC Sensation] EfrainTrejo:
Get an anker 1900 mah battery, I've had it for about 4 days now and i get GREAT battery life And already at 2 hours of screen on time still have 58% battery life
[HTC Sensation] abbyyyy:
Got an anker 1900mah 3 months back... It's still performing well.
[HTC Sensation] kinglime:
I guess I'll be ordering mine soon from Amazon.

On a slightly unrelated note could anyone recommend a 32gb microsd card? My 8gb is full :p
[HTC Sensation] EfrainTrejo:
Yep the sandisk 32gb class 10 its a great little microsd card and its only 26 bucks on amazon. :)
[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
The most power hungry part of your phone is its screen; therefore, speaking of battery life without mentioning screen time doesn't make sense. Those who are reporting 7-8 hrs battery life, probably suck the juice outa their battery right after they disconnect from the charger. Your Sensation, in an ideal world, is capable of 2:30 - 3 hours of screen time in a 24h cycle. So if you keep the screen on for 2 hours right after you un-plug your phone you'll drain your batter fast.
[HTC Sensation] dany xe:
I have 6 hour of screen use and my battery goes to 20% in cm10.1, and i'm using the original stock battery that came with the phone almost a year ago :p
[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
Let's keep it real and avoid sharing our fantasies here.
[HTC Sensation] dany xe:
Fantasies? Unfortunatly i'm running now viper s 3.0.2 that drains battery really quick, so i can't show u, but first thing i'll do when flashing cm is to attach a picture here so u see with ur eyes
[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
Sorry but no phone on the market is capable of 6 hours screen time on its stock battery.

My battery life is average even with an anker battery
[HTC Sensation] Boozezela:
Anker 1900mah battery and ViperS 1.6.3.

Bricked kernel; governor BADASS/balanced; scheduler SIO.

CPU was clocked 192/348/1.5

I managed to reach 48 hours without gaming and moderate usage (phone calls, viber, skype, messaging...).
[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
Report screen time so we can have a meaningful discussion.
[HTC Sensation] Boozezela:
Not possible this time: I have switched to CM10.1 4.2.2 KANG from Albinoman.

I will report screen time with the above ROM in the next days.
[HTC Sensation] ESPORTIVA:
My battery life has become absolutely terrible. Before it was fine, now it will drain completely in less than an hour with screen on. I've changed battery's changed ROMs, but nothing has worked. It's my phone virtually useless.

Currently on stock battery and cm 10.1

I really don't know what the problem is and what has caused it.
[HTC Sensation] ash_chaingang:
Getting Battery life around 16h on average.

Running CM10.1 by Albinoman with Sultan Kernel.

:good:
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
Actually, to the user's saying 6h screen time is impossible, it is possible.

A few weeks back I left my mobile in the glove compartment of my girlfriends car, I was reading some stuff and used 'quick settings' to keep the screen on. Long story short, I forgot my mobile in her car during the whole day. By the end of the day, I had 8 hours of screen on and 16% left of battery.

Of course I did nothing else on the phone and no one touched it during that, so the whole battery was spent on screen. This with cm10 with dk kernel. Give u my word on this.

Stock battery btw.
[HTC Sensation] dany xe:
Told u so, that i had more than 6 hours screen time, they said it ain't possible with stock batterry, well it is more than possible
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
Well, as long as we don't touch anything else :P The whole battery was for screen only, no processing, nothing else. Usually we do tasks when we're with the screen on, in my scenario, nothing else happened. The mobile was as I left it.
[HTC Sensation] jsjjcky:

when gmail sync , facebook, few times chrome, banking: ~10h

when hardly using: long fb, long chrome, gmail sync, banking: ~5h

when playing games: not even 1h.

I don't listen to music with my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
You're not alone in that boat. One of the weaknesses of this phone is proved to be the battery life. They had to make it so slim and battery was sacrificed.

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

Cellular network coverage affects your battery life in a very dramatic way. Keeping your phone in your pocket would make signal weaker and drains battery faster.

okzzz i have stock battery 1730 mah and i must say battry drain is not good as compare even china made like some local company smartphone mtk proessor dual core 1 ghz can be over clock to 1.4 ghz and 5 inches ips scren qmobile noir a10 the battry drain of this smartphone was awesome even em thinkng one day why i sale this fone coz i use to get almost 2 days aaporx one hour stick cricket and fb and wifi on almost 4 to 5 hour when i get home calls sub avg use its battry was 2000 mah and i must say when i comare wid my xe very bad i note tht i put the xe in night while sleeping why its take 2 much battry in 7 to 8 hours while sleeping almost 40% in other hand my old phone thak not more then 5 to 6 % on my sensation

em using viper ics and sultan kernul cpu is under clock to 1200 mhz and battry drain in 12 hours em not happi yaaar:(
[HTC Sensation] sougame:
hi,

i have htc sensation z710e rom : ARHD 7.2 with the last stable sultan kernel and cpu up to 1.5 gHz (overclock)

8h42min = 28% (stand-by)

wifi = off
[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
It's not clear mate. Do u get 8 hours battery life by just leaving your phone in standby?
[HTC Sensation] sougame:
i let my phone in standby 8h42min and it lost 28% from the battery.

i want to know if it's good or no.
[HTC Sensation] hamedunix:
It's not good unless you're getting a low signal from your network provider or an app keeps the phone awake. Normally 8hrs of standby with the WiFi off shouldn't take more than 10%
[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
To give you an idea, I lose no more then 5% during the night, more then this means something is draining it. From one to 5% in 8h is okay (with not bad signal).
[HTC Sensation] skydivider:
Just for comparison my battery declared of 1950 mah. During night it looses about 10% with airplane mode on.To sum it all with usual use it lasts about two days.

about a month back my batt life started to sink in use time, but standby still seems strong.

I have the OEM and Anker 1900 which both were quite reliable. GSam shows batt health on both as :"Good".

I have yet to figure out what has changed.

Running ViperS 1.6.3

Screen is 95% of the time dimmed to 20%.

I don't see anything in particular draining it in GSam.

Last charge to now 8 hours with 50 mins screen time.

Seems to drop 10% over night in Airplane mode.

Any ideas to try?
[HTC Sensation] AndroidSupporter318:
Did you try changing CPU governors? ( ie badass)

hello!

I installed Inspiration_rom and I like it.

upon installing, I choose medium overclock for GPU.

Now I wonder, if this is reason for battery to drain more quicker..
[HTC Sensation] chopped247:
Heat kills them

Don't let the battery get too hot because it can greatly degrade the battery life.

I had my phone on my car dash using it to navigate on a hot day, battery has never been the same since.
[HTC Sensation] HTCZ715E:
I reinstalled Inspiration_rom without GPU overcklocking, but buttery life was same short.

now I will try Badass governor and will report back.
