[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SeanHacker:
Not sure if this is a fix or not, but its worked for me more than once now. I was really hating how I would get the static screen or blank screen just before the bootanimation after flashing the Bonsai Rom. It made for a very slow boot up compared to how fast boot up is running stock. i know this seems like a lot of steps to take for something so minimal. But it was bugging the hell out of me and this is what I did to fix it.

Here's what I did to fix the issue.

1.) I flashed Bonsai as usual and got everything setup how I wanted it.

2.) I made a nandroid backup through cmw

3.) I flashed back to stock with the 3.1 OTA (thanks pershoots)

4.) Booted that up, then powered down

5.) Put my tab into download mode and flashed the retail recovery

6.) Factory reset (stock recovery does a couple extra things that cmw does not do)

7.) Booted up, then powered back down

8.) Put into download mode, Flashed cmw recovery through Odin

9.) Then I restored the backup that I made of bonsai previously

10.) Hit reboot and done, no static or blank screen anymore

Not for sure that this will work for everyone, but I just thought I should share.

*ROOT Section (now that we have s-off :) )

Everything posted above can be done on any rom, rooted or none. There has been a lot of posts on "freezing apps" that you dont need or typically use, which does in fact really help battery life. Since, we (by we i mean sensation users) now have a permanent root this is my tiny second part of the guide for rooted devices.

I dont freeze my apps I prefer them to be gone for good if its something I dont see myself using or its bloat that came with my phone/rom. Since 98% of us will be using custom roms now this usually isnt an issue since most dev's r good at what they do and remove all the bs we dont need or normally use. Still there is some apps we may not want on our phones so for that I use SystemApp Remover . Its a great App for people who dont want to have to worry about going in manually and getting rid of system apps.

Its just basically an Uninstaller that allows you to access any and every app on the phone for you to uninstall (thats y roots needed). For me I just go in an drop the apps I know i wont use. A lot of roms come with carrier add-ons and such, those I normally delete as well as a few HTC sense widgets and apps I see no need for. It will free up space and increase your phones battery life with most things you delete.

Now, be careful. You are prompted upon opening SystemApp Remover that messing in system apps is dangerous and it is. If your not sure what something is DONT touch it, simply do a google search or ask around to see if its safe to remove first.

Thanks your this what is the automatic task killer you used because there are a few when I search on the market and wasn't sure which one to get?
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
Updated OP. I do still notice slightly higher mA when it is enabled even if theres no apps using it
[HTC Sensation] xl DIGITAL lx:
Thanks for the info, I'm trying out the automatic task killer to see how it affects my battery life.
[HTC Sensation] TheBiles:
Oh, and I didn't even read the bottom of your post. DO NOT USE TASK KILLERS WITH ANDROID. PERIOD.
[HTC Sensation] moh0:
No offense bro, but you should read his entire post before you start ripping it apart. It looks like he put a lot of effort into it. He explains his reasoning for the task killer with evidence and it makes sense.

Thanks OP, I'm using your suggestions already. Will update soon.
[HTC Sensation] TheBiles:
With more evidence than the article I posted? Yeah, right.
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
I address the fact that android doesnt need a task killer but if you read the whole thing automatic task killer lets you choose which apps to kill, leaving out worry of killing system apps that just restart.

Also, this is for battery life and performance, my battery's mA drains slower when i use a task killer for non system apps as well as keeps Sense 3.0 running smoother. I have had sense bog down on me a few times when not keeping a task killer handy.

It isnt necessary to have have a task killer and in the average users hands it can cause more harm than good. But this threads helping to school people on a way for better battery life using a safer method than a BASIC KILL ALL task killer.

Lastly, why did they include a task killer with my android if they dont think we need one? :p
[HTC Sensation] swellthekitty:
Wow, that was helpful. What a waste of an attempt to incite a useless forum war.

I'm only trying to help out the other forum users who are being mislead. I've been through a lot of Android devices and spent a lot of time focusing on things like this, and I know what I'm talking about.

Edit: And the only task killer you will find made by Google is the one within Android OS itself. Go download an AOSP build of Android with the latest Google Apps and let me know when you find a task-killer app.

[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
,,In my experience if I can keep my phone anywhere under 100mA when idle im doing good.,, best i.ve managed with my sensation is around 200 mA ... Juice Defender, so data connections are off, GPS off, Wifi off (don.t reckon i have any running service that eats all that battery) ... how the hell do you manage to bring it down to 100 mA ? :) ( i get the values form battery widget pro - which some say it doesn.t register true mA consumption, also i read them form the history list, which updates every 5 minutes ... so, every 5 minutes i get around 200 mA consumption ... )

I.ve ordered a new battery ( 1700 mA, not chichitec or anker because they don.t ship those in my country) but hoping to get better results with it. ( i mean while gaming or internet browsing, my phone eats the battery like hell - compared to other phones i had)
[HTC Sensation] kabuk1:
I guess the task killer thing is kind of a YMMV deal. Everyone says they shouldn't be used but my personal experience has been that my battery life suffers if I don't use one. I just exclude system apps & set the autokill level really low. My batt life is acceptable as it is, but I still have to charge every day after work so I ordered a Chichitec. Hopefully it'll be as good as everyone says it is.
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
Where are you guys getting the standby ma readings from? AFAIK all the battery apps give wrong values in standby at least. See my thread here

[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
@stuart0001 i get them from battery monitor widget pro ( latest version on the market which states that it registers true mA values on HTC Sensation) but as i said, i also think these values are incorrect. The app is set to register every 5 minutes and i see values between 200-300 mA ...
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
Sounds like it's still wrong as that would only give about 4 hours of standby.

[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
Ill try and post a log from battery widget but like i said it does move around a little bit but theres a good amount of time where i pick up my phone and its under 100mA. Only thing i can recommend is to try what i got on the OP, if ur careful and keep the apps your phone and u use most running and others killed it seems to really benefit.

Like a lot of people say task killers aren't needed or recommended but in my experience using them benefits my battery life.
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
@bobzoz 10q, but could you, when or if you have the time, post some usage statistics. for example battery drain while playing a 3d game for 30min, automatic brightness. or 30 min under constant 3g streaming.

as i posted on another thread, i manage to get good battery life on stand-by, but as soon as i start using the phone a little more it eats up the juice like hell, and i.m curious how others behave.

also if anyone else can do this tests, please do post your results

(i know some of you can get 2 days out of your battery life, turning almost everything off :) but i.m interested more on how your sensation acts under a little more usage)
[HTC Sensation] MRCANNADY:
Thanx to the OP for the post, following his steps i have noticed that my battery seems to drain a LOT slower...killing all the "bloatware' runnng in the background will have a positive effect on battery regardless of what people say about using taskkillers as the built in task management seems to ignore these things. I do have one question concerning Juice Defender...while using it, when i turn my screen off and then back on, I sometimes lose my 4G signal, and the only way to get back internet acces is to reboot my phone. is anyone else having this issue, please help me to fix this?
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
Glad its working for you man

Never was a big fan of juice defender always, caused problems on a couple phones for me. Thats what it does tho turns off/on radios to save a good amount of battery. I would make sure it full supports the sensation and maybe go ahead and reinstall it see if that fixes it. Sorry im not much help there
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
Yeah it seems to beat the battery when in use but thats normal, worst pulls i get are around 600-700mA average around 400-450mA under some heavy use. As for the usage stats i can do a few later tonight when im off work, for the mobile data streaming tho id prefer if someone did that who has more than a 2GB cap like me :D
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
Well, i for one managet to kill 22% of battery after 20 min. of constant internet streaming over 3g, 30% screen brightness. Not terrible, but not great either. As for 3d games, 30 minutes usually kills around 10%-15% of the battery.
[HTC Sensation] yasin12:
I temp rooted my phone and disable all the bloatware that kept running. Increased my battery life alot. So theres a tip. If youre feeling adventurous try disabling apps that you dont need but cant uninstall
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
Streaming that seems pretty steep, you doing youtube or flash in browser? gaming seems around the same for me but i keep brightness at 75% or full most of the time

Im yet to temp root, Id like too but just seems like a waste of time knowing a reboot kills it. I cant wait till true S-Off and the development for this phone picks up :) I wont have to pass the time writing my ass off ill be too busy flashing everything our devs throw at us.
[HTC Sensation] snowblindd:
@bobzoz flash in browser ( tv episodes ) although i use opera which is hardware accelerated, but i don.t think that should have such a huge impact.
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
try skyfire lemme kno how that goes. last I checked skyfire renders flash on their servers that's why people without flash on their phones can watch things using skyfire
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
I find it pretty weird that you wrote a guide on getting better battery life without sacrificing performance and you left off the number one thing anyone with a Sensation can do, (and indeed you think it's pointless) and that's freezing bloatware.

If you want to increase your battery life without sacrificing performance, Temp-Root your phone, freeze ALL of the bloatware and optionally freeze HTC Sense and use an alternate launcher. Not only does this not sacrifice performance IT IMPROVES PERFORMANCE.

Also using a battery management app I recommend Green Power. Juice Defender was too buggy on my sensation and caused issues. Battery Management apps extend battery life by turning off 4/G, you can still get texts and calls and you get emails and syncs at regularly determined intervals, while your phone is off and in your pocket. When you turn your screen ON to use your phone, the 4G comes back and everything syncs/fetches your emails as normal. No performance sacrificed there, unless you absolutely NEED your emails as soon as you get them and can not wait a maximum of 15 minutes.

That problem is also easily solved by turning on your phone screen in shorter intervals if you REALLY need to know if you've received an email. You can also set it to manage 4G at certain times of the day or toggle on/off with a one touch widget.

Also your guide doesn't really tell anyone how to improve their battery life, essentially you said to sync less and the brighter your screen is , the more battery it burns.
[HTC Sensation] kabuk1:
I'm insanely jealous of anyone that can keep their idle drain under 100. I've done everything on the list and froze my bloatware & im lucky to get 150 :(
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
As I stated earlier. Don't believe the ma reported. It's wrong.
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
The only reason I find temp root pointless right now is because it takes time and its easily reversed. No doubt its the best way to save battery life and increase performance. As for the guide Im just telling people what i normally keep my phone on as well as let them know a little bit how it will effect them and their battery life. Im honestly thinking about just deleting the basic's section kind of general knowledge.

As for E-Mail I need it constantly on instant is a big deal to me when Im working I have a lot of over seas clients, rather than having a lot of over seas calls I have them e-mail and it can be pretty urgent. Just my preference, Like i said this guide is how I meet my needs and get good battery life. I just wanted to share to see if anyone else can benifit from what ive learned and use over the years.

yeah it will fluctuate here and there but every few minutes it settles in the mid 80's to 120's. I dont know for sure how accurate the app is im no dev but it seems to be close based on how the phone battery lasts.
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
If by temp root takes time, you mean plugging your phone into a pc for 5 minutes and running a batch file then yes it is time consuming...

How are the changes easily reversed? If you mean that you can change it back by unfreezing it then yes that is pretty easy.

You also didn't even mention under clocking the cpu, when the screen is off...another big battery saver that requires temp root.

Thus thread is rated 1 star for good reason. Sorry dude.
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
It was my understanding that temp root is reversed after a reboot? For us its only a few minutes but average user who stumbled on XDA it might be a little longer for them.

Nothing in here has to do with rooting its just things that help regardless of root, so freezing bloat and lowering CPU clock isnt on here for a good reason. This is just the setup i do on my phones and some friends. A few of them recommend id post on here but keep it simple for the newer people to the scene, thats what i tried to do. When a permanant root is available Ill still use this method on a custom rom and use setcpu among other tweaks. Maybe Ill change the disclaimer or title.

No need to apologize I was just attempting to help out some people with something Ive used and kno it works. Ive been getting a some happy pm's and some decent positive feedback im glad i helped the few I did. If it stays one star thats no biggie it will most likely eventually disappear into the millions of thread on xda in bit anyway.
[HTC Sensation] yasin12:
Yeh the temp root goes but the frozen or disabled apps stay disabled so even after a reboot the bloatware doesnt run meaning no precious battery juice used
[HTC Sensation] TheBiles:
If by "5 minutes" you mean 30 seconds! You plug it in, run your batch file, and unplug it. Temp root is easy, fast, and it allows you to do some great things to save battery. Removing all of that HTC bloat should be anyone's first priority. Just wait until we get S-OFF and can install some AOSP ROMs like CyanogenMod. THEN You will see some real battery life.
[HTC Sensation] a4ol:
I can reach 2 days on one charge with light usage. I didn't disable or change anything. Just use Juice defender and maybe lower the brightness to like %40.

BTW!!! If you keep the brightness low and want the brightness to go to 100% when plugged in, like in a car charger for GPS. USE THIS:
