Battery life is not so good, its average...Battery drain is not too high, But as compare to other faux and Yank555 kernel users, mine is not too good....

And my Battery Widget shows me like 64% on screen and when i jump to 4EXT recovery and check the battery percentage...its 68-70% (surely higher than on-screen statistics)

what could be the problem...i downloaded number of battery widgets, the same result i found on every widget, even on Viper's default battery status bar icon give me the same result... :(

EDIT:: Just unlocked my Phone and what i found, Battery level jumps from 28% to 25% directly...right now only wi-fi is on..no any data exchange..no download..no surfing
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
ICS battery reporting is not good. Since all your widgets, applications etc. are only displaying what they're getting from ICS, you'll never get accurate (or even consistent) information. You must live with it, or, well, um, live with it.

I don't think it will kill you if you're 5 or 10% off. Personally.

P.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Rebooting will make battery level jump up on the Sensatio , I haven't known any different ever since I had the device. But upom reboot it will quickly drop to more or less what you had before rebooting...

And as Paul said, battery reporting isn't really precise science, and the Sensation is by far not a good exemple for precision in that matter :(

[HTC Sensation] hunt:
Ok i understand all your stuff...and i m agree in that...

But honestly saying when turning to another kernel (say for bricked) , this problem doesn't occur over there...

But Bricked :( No performance ...laggy...less responsive...

And now i'll test my batterylife...how much battery will stay (ignoring the statistics over the screen) ....may be this would be the Perfect solution..... :)

Thank u both......Thanx a lot :)

I had the same but after I had set the UV to a lower value and a few charges of the battery it was gone.
[HTC Sensation] hunt:
Then please tell me....what changes have u made to solve this issue...???

Please describe me in detail.....:(

Eagerly waiting for ur answer....
[HTC Sensation] Saml01:
Using the EXT 4 Recovery. The function found under the Wipe menu.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Don't have my Sensation at hand, and unfortunately there's no 4ext for the S3 yet, so I'm more used to the "old" CWM at the moment, and I don't think it has that option (I might be wrong here, though).

It's strange, but it depends on what wiping exactly does... in theory if the boot partition is really wiped there should be no booting Android, only recovery (since that's a separate partition).

After playing this http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.glu.gladiator2 game when I exit, the sense will restart ...

Using yank 2.52 kernel ..

but this is not happening with other game like temple run brave ...

But when I played this game with stock kernel sense is not restarting ....

But my phone fly when I use faux kernel .....

please anyone tell me how to solve this problem ......

Your sense restarted because there was too much memory pressure caused by the game and so android killed sense. Temple Run and brave don't need as much ram as gladiator it seems :)

Just do as if you were reflashing the kernel, choose new configuration options and at the last question, choose "config only" instead of "All" and only the configuration will be regenerated.

Any idea why my battery temp stays at 11deg when I flash one of the Yank kernels (tried a few of them)

If I revert back to a bricked one it reads normally.

Apart from this hiccup, these kernels totally remove any lag from my Viper 1.21

[HTC Sensation] rq005:
Sensation or XE? Because XE has a bigger battery. I dont play with my phone but sometimes my daughter does and last time she gave me back the phone, i noticed it was really hot. I underclocked it to stock and now she plays for hours without getting that hot. Also i noticed some improvement in battery, around 10%. So i guess if you are not going to play games, then OC makes the phone run smoother in general and doesnt really drain much battery since the processor is not working at max frequency all the time. But while gaming the phone gets too hot and the battery drains too fast.

[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I have a Sensation XE.

As for temperature, you may try my version (2.52) of faux's kernel and only OC GPU to 300MHz, kept mine cooler. As it seems, not all phones get so hot and others don't...

For normal use (non gaming) I believe keeping CPU OC high is as you suggest, makes phone snappy without a big added drain.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] rq005:
Yes, i am using your kernel and works great! But since ive got normal sensation, i decided to go with stock cpu freq to save battery until i can buy a bigger one. Im also using noop scheduler. And with -100mV tweak so far the phone is doing great! Thanks

Great kernel, 2.3.5 InsertCoin + 1.56 Sync L2 + thermal patch, scored 2333 in quadrant standard, great performances so far, hope battery it's good too. thx faux123
[HTC Sensation] RADLOUNI:
scaled up performance

Hi Guys

Just a quick question.

I installed latest Faux kernel and tried to benchmark the system. I perform 4 or 5 consecutive benchmarks and the scores start at a low value (2100 for ex in quadrant) and increase steadily up to 2700 or 2800.

Then after using the phone for some time and attempting to benchmark it again. Same thing happens and i get a low score initially (2100) then increases up to 2700

Shouldn't the fluctuation be low and the score consistent given that nothing is changing from one benchmark run to the other except maybe some free RAM !!!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:

[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Don't use benchmarks. You're wasting your time.
[HTC Sensation] BigBoppa:
You have to mount the system/etc/ as read/write.

root explorer is the easiest way.

If you have changed, wipe dalvik & cache and reboot to force TD to read the file again.
[HTC Sensation] RADLOUNI:
Thanks but..........

thanks for the reply, but then what is the standard to determine the performance boost that a modified kernel gives

A stock 1.45.415.4 has a quite smooth UI, so how can i measure the performance boost that this modified kernel brings ?

although the Quadrant result "can not be trusted" for Sensation but drop in Quadrant can be used as indicator that something goes wrong...

You know, I don't usually participate in the battery wars. I generally plug in every night at bedtime.

Day before yesterday, I forgot. I took screenshot before plugging into charger just for a giggle.

This is all to tell you I didn't actually keep track, but phone was used as I normally do, so estimate: 15-30 minutes of calls, maybe 2 hours of screen on. I do have an Evo battery in there (1700mA instead of 1400mA).

No undervolt.

Point is, power management is good enough so I don't think about it at all.

[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Just read a german blog article about that every second android device is vulnerable against attacks so i tested by device with x-ray (http://www.xray.io) and it seems its vulnerable against "Mempodroid" (see screenshot for more information) and i think this one is kernel related..? Is there something we can do? :)
[HTC Sensation] martimo:
I tested it too and there was nothing...so its Not only Kernel related...
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Just searched for proc/pid/mem but i can't find it on my phone :D are you using zram or hardswap?
[HTC Sensation] martimo:
I Don't know :s I think I disabled zram....but hardswap....don't know :/
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
I suppose you don't have hardswap then, since you need to partition the SD card, and I am quite confident you'd recall doing that ;)

But just in case, open a terminal and type :

cat /proc/swaps

And you will know if you have any kind of swap (zram, softswap or hardswap) and where it is located.

What should I do?

UPDATE:

Nothing because you already clarified that it's fixed since 3.0.16 and the app is incorrectly reporting the issue
[HTC Sensation] faux123:
How do you "got" that vulnerability... It is FIXED by LINUS TORVALD himself in 3.0.16.

Google took a SHORTCUT to fix the issue by removing the WRITE access to it, but Linux Mainline (Kernel.org) and Linus fixed it the proper way once and forever and I used Linux Mainline's correct fix not Google's shortcut fix. It will still allow for write access just that the credentials will be checked so you can't exploit it like before.

If the so call detection app just try to do a SIMPLE "write access" to it and call it vulnerable, then the APP is INCORRECT.

Linux Mainline Fix by the man himself => https://github.com/faux123/msm8660-htc-ics/commit/c8fec258e5d1c35712795641350cc78da4334629

El crappy fix by Google => https://github.com/android/kernel_common/blob/android-3.0/fs/proc/base.c#L857 (#define mem_write NULL) <== basically disallow write access... shortcut.

Don't believe everything you read on the interwebz :p

Have try check battery connector I think I read somewhere the reboot can cause by battery loose. Or you may tried to low maximum frequencies maybe default for sensation which 1.2Ghz. For comfirmation you may want to flash faux with aroma version which if not mistake 009b2. This version delete & remove the file can cause conflict with the kernel, since default kernel for this rom is not faux.

Nothing's wrong, that has been like this all the time. Kernel gives real free RAM (as has always been), and Android considers RAM used by cache to actually be free as well (as has always), that explains the difference, but nothing is new or changed in this.

So depending where the app gets the free info from, it will show different values.

Difference between Faux Aroma vs. Yank Aroma :
