Same as me... Low idle, high peaks. Phone is running for 6 hours, not really in heavy use and I'm down to 45 %...

EDIT: beta 16 arhd 4.1.4
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
Attached mine if that's helpful, it really depends what your doing with screen on..

Edit:

i tend to get around 30mA on standby screen off, goes up toa round 200-300mA screen on, depending on what im doing and between 500-800 with camera active again depending on what im doing.

i gues the test here is go back to 0.2.2 and log your battery activity and see if it truely is different
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
Yep

Mines has WiFi on and using gsm and wcmda network settings
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
Awesome battery life on pyramid 3d flat lined on beta 16...
[HTC Sensation] Sibbi:
Just flashed arhd 4.1.5 after superwipe.

Still got the problem where phone stays active all the time.

It seem to have started with beta 16...
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
it may be active all the time but does it use alot of battery

faux mentioned that with the htc, it uses more battery in deep sleep than in idle mode or somthing along these lines.

thats why he has got the kernel to go into idle mode rather than deep sleep....

hope this helps
[HTC Sensation] Sibbi:
Phone was down to 35% after 6,5 hours moderate use...
[HTC Sensation] tinker2000:
Whatever the politics of it all, I think that the work both he and Show-P do on their kernels is astounding. How can Faux not be considered to be a recognised developer when his knowledge of linux and the kernels is as deep and technically brilliant as it is, especially given history within these forums.

What do you make of the sudden power drain. See attached
[HTC Sensation] remus82:
That looks serious
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
Maybe battery calibration not right. Try wiping battery stats and give it a few full charge cycles?
[HTC Sensation] orangestrawberry:
Yeah probably just a calibration issue
[HTC Sensation] kayroccs:
Did u reboot your phone at that time or go into recovery cause that's when mine does that but its a calibration issue ...just drain the battery and charge to max and use and it shouldn't happen again
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
There was a suggestion on ARHD to go to settings / wireless / mobile networks / and set enable data always to unchecked. Since I've done this my battery life has jumped and I still get texts and everything.

Maybe try that?

[HTC Sensation] Stickster42:
I can confirm this worked for me on ARHD 3.6.2.

Also weirdly on 0.2.2 I found if wifi was on, but not connected to anything, my ma usage was 80-100 ma with occasional spike around 200.

With Wifi off my ma usage was consistantly 150-180ma with spikes to 300.

I have since moved to 0.2.3 b16, removed fauxclock and reinstalled virtous and daemon controller with no undervolting and find my ma usage much better 35 - 60 idle, occasional spikes of 100 - 150.

When I build up my confidence a bit I may play with undervolting via scripts to see how low it can go.

Add widget to home leave for a few hours idle then check the history, set the widget to collect every 60 secs.
[HTC Sensation] silverdart:
I use "Current Widget".
[HTC Sensation] yungyeh:
This is due to the wrong mV reading (not mA or %). It could happen if you flash a certain type of mod, or do not wipe your cache before applying a kernel.

This has happened to me many times if I flashed a mod cooked from UOT kitchen (even cooked by myself). A complete power-off (no fastboot) usually sets it to normal. The reboot process just does no good to clear that issue. Also, you might notice that when this happened your proximity meter was not working at all and the button backlight did not function property.

[HTC Sensation] drms12:
Thanks

Did you change any thing about the power management from the latest beta ?

EDIT: I just notice that the speaker is much louder. Don't know if this is because of the kernel or the new rom.
[HTC Sensation] Catpoule:
faux does your last kernel works with amaze cam ( except burst mode ) ? I use insertcoin and rcmix, i suppose it does work with both rom ....
[HTC Sensation] farfromovin:
Faux- could you please provide some insight on the hurdles involved with getting ZSL kernel integration?
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Just updated to the latest version. Does anyone else notice that the lowest on screen frequency for one of the cores is 384 mhz and it won't drop any lower than that with the screen on?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Thanks for all your consistant hard work faux ^_^

Sent from my HTC Sensation in UR-Quan subspace.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Check init.post_boot.sh some Rom force the lowest to be 384...
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Burst mode does not work... I haven't tried amaze camera hack so I don't know for sure
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
In order for zsl to work properly we also need to update the user space libraries which we will never have the source to. Also my zsl driver is a back port from caf and other sources, and may not be 100% correct. It's based on educated guesses.
[HTC Sensation] bloodhawk:
The final kernel is super fast...no lag, no reboots.

Only faced one issue. It breaks video recording. The camera records the video just fine, but the phone freezes just as the phone finishes savibg it to the memory card. The file gets created , but turns out corrupt.

Other than this... Freaking amazing Kernel... Thabk you for your work Faux!

PS; stock frequencies. No uv. On Insertcoin 3.4.9
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Just tested with stock 3.5 sense camera app and I didn't experience file corruption or freezes. Are you using the amaze camera hack? Only the stock camera app has been tested and supported.
[HTC Sensation] kayroccs:
faux ..y are bench scores low on 2.3 even tho it doesnt matter... cause on beta 16 they were high 3.6.4 arhd
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
I'm on the t-mobile stock rom. It is set to 192 in the init.post_boot.sh. It is even underclocked using FauxClock. Previous versions worked fine. It seems the cores will go down to 192 when the screen is off, but on cpu1 will not drop lower than 384.
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Oh, I don't know.. I don't benchmark my kernel before I release them. I release my kernel based mainly on stability and if I accomplished the goal I set for myself for each version. As you should know by now, the goal for 023 was power management.
[HTC Sensation] kayroccs:
understandable
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Hm, try rebooting. I've added userspace governor back in ready for my next version, sometimes when you switch governors, the user space governor will be selected and assigned a random frequency. Blame both mpdecision and thermald. Both programs muck with cpu frequencies and governors.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
I just tried. It seems to not fix it so far.

Thermald can be Safely deleted if you don't plan to overclock. I recommend keeping mpdecision for the time being. I will try to bring more advanced CPU management for the next version.

Every version of my kernel is theme based. 021 was memory management , 022 was performance, 023 was power management, 024 will be CPU management... Stay tuned... ;)

If you experienced stuck cpu1 @ 384 that's because of WONKY userspace governor I was planning for version 024. I have disabled userspace governor completely until the next version. I have updated the downloadables in OP with 023_r1. There's NO other difference besides removal of userspace govenor.

Same here with ARHD 3.6.4 with latest kernel and sense 3.0, no mods.

When recording everything looks fine but when i press the button to stop recording apparently its saving the file but nothing shows up and the cam app freeze then comes the reboot.

Check the file again and its corrupted.

I dunno why i never get this kernel to work 100% ok with my phone even though its included by default with ARHD

[HTC Sensation] elvislam:
[ARHD 4.1.5, 0.2.3]

Faux, i've got a weird problem after flashing 0.2.3 official releases (023r and 023r1). My phone was just hung and restarted automatically whenever it's plugged and unplugged, and the problem was gone after I flashed 0.2.3b16 back.

I'm pretty sure that it's related to the kernel because I went back and forth from b16 to official release for a couple of times.

Attached is my last_kmsg, could you please help take a look (around line 5692)? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] MarlinFF:
Went back to 0.2.2 and everything is working camera wise again. 0.2.3 = no video recording for Stock T-Mobile Sense 3.0 rom + restarts with camera + usb charging.

I'd love to use 0.2.3 because of the smoothness + battery improvements but without the camcorder it isn't worth it for me
[HTC Sensation] lainemac:
Best app

Hey faux, I just want to start by saying your work is fantastic. I just have one question: which app should I use to control your kernel? ARHD comes with Daemon controller but I have also seen people using faux clock as well as oc beater. So which would you recommend? Do you use any of these apps?

Using 2.3r2 Tried 2 way call recording but didn't seem to work with total recall. Seems to work OK with bricked. Can anyone else confirm.

Getting the low mA reading but battery drains quite a bit faster too. Also getting quite a few random resets. Possibly from the underclocking making things a little unstable? Just my thoughts.
