Proceed as follows:

1. Turn your HTC Sensation ON continuously, and then loads 8 HOURS .

2. Get eight hours after the HTC Sensation of the drawer and then turn the power off . Now load another 1 hour .

3. Get the Sensation back of the drawer and turn it ON . Now wait a few minutes and then turn it back off . Finally, you still charge a 1 HOURS .

And voila, you now have the battery of the HTC Sensation longer trained to perform. You should make a clear difference and now you can even double as a battery to perform this method. You should start when the battery is already low on the Sensation and before sleeping. So you do not the daytime Sensation 8 hours long to miss.

"Its saying to manually set your batter stats, and yes it does work.

Charge to 100% take off the charger and power it down, when you boot back up you'll be anywhere from 80-95%, charge back up to 100% and then take off the charger, repeat this pattern till you can take your charger charger off (after a power down of course) and the battery readout on the phone stays at 100% for more then ten minutes, at this point just use the phone till it does completely, once it dies plug it in and charge it up to 100%."

Also, please do the research about the bump charging, the forum i found this at, had NO mentioning of that, but I am glad people here knew about it before people started using it.

It does work, you will get better and longer battery life, but

you will need to replace your battery sooner

.

It is not as if you will need to replace it in a month, so weigh the pro's and con's, this still may be a very viable solution

Thank you XDA members for the input, I tried to update the OP to have the information needed to make the correct decision.

For more information on Bump Charging, Please Read

Quote from website above - ""To also help with Battery Life you can do these steps exactly: 1) Turn your device ON and Charge the device for 8 hours or more 2) Unplug the device and Turn the phone OFF and charge for 1 hour 3) Unplug the device Turn ON wait 2 minutes and Turn OFF and charge for another hour Your battery life should almost double, we have tested this on our devices and other agents have seen a major difference as well." - HTC Support's advice to an XDA Developer forum member.

This will reportedly increase your battery life two fold however in my test with the HTC Thunderbolt, I saw 14 hours usage which still isn't bad compared to the 9 hours I was previously obtaining"

An Article refereed to as the "truth about bump charging" that loops right back here to XDA A big thanks to byrong of XDA for his amazing thread.

*From my reading, the newer phones, like Sensation Evo3d, can handle the bump charge better then older, like the droid, etc....* (take that with a grain of salt......)

In my personal opinion, i think it is worth doing. The more i read about it, the more it seems like a good idea. I use my phone alot, and to get a full day with heavy usage is very important to me without plugging in on the ride home from work, etc.
