i think the chart doesn't refer to your overnight testing. we need the chart to see the awake bars.
[HTC Sensation] eriklinsen:
Can you describe this as battery draining. Before flashing a custom ROM my usage was about 3% for each hour in normal mode. By this I could use the phone for 33 hours which was just to low to hold for two days. I am using an app called Greenpower which is controlling the 3G and WiFi. It is on for 1 minute and then it closes for 10 minutes. On this and my previous phone the power usage went down drastic.

After flashing a custom ROM (ARHD 4.1.4 with Faux 0.2.2 kernel) I had a usage of 2,5% for each hour. This ment my phone could be used for 40 hours which was just enough for 2 days of normal use.

After that I changed the speed of the CPU to 1,08GHz and undervolted by 0,75mV which resoluted in a usage of just some more then 2% for each hour. Now it's easy to use my phone for 2 days.

Well, looking at your 6% in 5 hours of airplane mode is about a usage of 1,2% for each hour. I don't think that is very much. When u would put on the phonenetwork but disable the 3G and WiFi, what would be your usage then?

I think it would be about the same like me. And then this can't be considered as drainage. Or did you have a lower power consumtion (in airplane mode) with a different kernel before?
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
[ARHD 4.1.5] [0.24 b2]

ok im loosing about 10% battery an hour with the kernel, just leaving it on standby in my pocket. the general drain seems higher and is more choppy so it up and down a lot more, spiking up to 200mA then down to about 90 ish.

the non-stop awake has gone.

ARHD had daemon controller and various cpu settings in init.post_boot script.

i might remove both and give it a try...

is anyone else seeing a high drain on this?

EDIT: i just thought of something, by default my ROM has daemon controller with conservitive gov for screen off, is thats whats causing issues??
[HTC Sensation] Pikaraph:
Same thing for me... I'm experiencing -70~90 mA instead of 16~26 mA with 0.2.3-r3 kernel.
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
My stats tonight using still r2 from two days ago charge......

Tuesday night was awesome and yest night was the same no awake issues

Please reboot twice after using a new kernel and do a 100% charge with manual calibration.

Tonight I will try r3 then the latest beta

Hi,

[ARHD 4.1.5][Faux 0.2.4 beta]

Same awake while EVERYTHING was off overnight. :(

Amazing 40% drop while I was on data browsing XDA :eek:

Still does not seem to be an universal problem.

:confused:
[HTC Sensation] whynot66:
How long have you had you phone?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Since mid-July.

Why?

:)
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
wow thats an amazing drop! i wonder if your battery stats got stuck?

its interesting your having a different experience from me on an identical setup.

You dont have the solid awake bar any more but something is still going on.

out of interest what do you have daemon controller set on and are you using mikes default init.post_boot script?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

wake min = 384000

wake max = 1512000

on demand

sleep min = 192000

sleep max = 384000

conservative

Not sure if these actually have ANY affect since the introduction of "intelli-ondemand"

No changes to the init.post_boot script

:)
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
thanks, im exactly the same other than ive changed GPU I/O fraction to 50 in init.post_boot script. i'll be interested to see more of your experiences (with the kernel)...
[HTC Sensation] remus82:
Just curious. Anyone have random force closes of fauxclock 0.75? It happens to me often during gaming.
[HTC Sensation] KingDavid63:
I thought that was a good drain.
[HTC Sensation] Sibbi:
Compared to earlier versions, where the drain was about ~30 mA, it went up... not saying it is high drain, just higher than before :)

The point of my post wasn´t the mA drain, but the high loss within airplane mode.

And as i said, the battery life while in use, became much better.
[HTC Sensation] remus82:
OK the drain would be n average of -30 to -46 now. Will update as I monitor it. On 3.6.4 0.24beta. 1.296ghz

I was going to report battery stats but I learned when I got on the train this morning my wife decided to upload 144 photos on my phone to dropbox. Maybe tomorrow :P

Sent from my HTC Sensation in UR-Quan subspace.
[HTC Sensation] yungyeh:
Yes, I did. Actually a few posts has reported this issue but it seemed no one cared. I think that's because fauxclock simply sends out a command to manage the change of CPU frequency on boot. If you don't really need it in your memory all the time unless you need additional governor setting during screen off.

In a nutshell, fauxclock 0.75 has problem but not many people care. I now switch to setCPU and then use the manual way to undervolt.
[HTC Sensation] g1user101:
Can someone point me to the sense 3.5 hack zip?
[HTC Sensation] yungyeh:
I just finished a test on r3.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18995388&postcount=3180

It took only two days to reach three cycles of battery life because it drained really fast even during airplane mode.

The 4th time did not give me any difference so I switched back to 0.23R2. The improvement is so amazing immediatelly. During airplane mode, it drained only 3~5% for 8 hours and if I fully charged my phone, my battery % still read 100% after 8 hours.

Since you are going to test the R3 kernel, I do really hope you will get a different result so we may figure something that we missed.

BTW, the battery drain was read -50mA on R3 during screen off but it is now read approximately -70mA on R2 during screen off.
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
R2 has been amazing for me too

R3 the last time i tried, i lost 33% overnight after a full 100% so its not a good one but i think that may have been down to me messing around and installing fauxclock and daemon controller but tonight should clear that up.

[HTC Sensation] g1user101:
Thanks. I already went ahead and flashrd the regular kernel. Amaze camera disappeared. If I flash this will it come back?

So I flashed the hack, then first time then regular kernel?
[HTC Sensation] ifti_a:
hmm i still see awake bars and a few of them ?
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
no problem, just hit the thanks button :). but i would flash the first time kernel, then hack, then the kernel and that should work...as far as the amaze camera just flash it again and it should work completely on stock, but with faux kernel burst mode doesnt work.

sleeping completely while I was sleeping. :confused: Uptime is 11:44:00 and awake time shows 9:31:22. Changing my currentwidget logging option now as it was set to force logging while asleep, will report back again later today.

ARHD 3.6.4

UPDATE: It must have been the currentwidget setting since I now show uptime as 15:02 and Awake time as 9:47. Battery went from 98% down to 89% during the last 3 hours of almost complete idle time.
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Driving so Blue tooth is on and probably polling occasionally.

[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
I dont get how you guys are all getting good battery. in 18 hours ive got through 2 whole batterys, including my anker 1900mAH!
[HTC Sensation] eisteh:
I really got this impression that most of the batteries are not getting a chance to perform well at all.

The beta cycle of 0.2.3 was a very rapid one, if at all, we had one day of flashing break. Then let people flash a new ROM, flash back the ROM or whatever which has a battery calibration script included, your battery will be a total mess.

So was mine until today. I flashed r2 of 0.2.3 pretty much when it came out and let me phone settle. First day the battery was dead within 10 hours of pure idleness!

Just as of now I got over 34 hours on battery! I admit, it didn't use the phone a lot. Just read a few mails, browsed a bit, that's all. With WiFi being on all the time, having max screen brightness etc. I think it's a result people could life with. My prediction for medium usage is almost 20 hours which is more than enough, isn't it?

Because of all this flashing madness and the forced attempts to improve what maybe doesn't need to be improved, I'm scared to flash the first 0.2.4 beta builds. It might have a bad impact at first, resulting in more stuff to be switched off.
[HTC Sensation] sjappie:
Me2, just got my sensation for 2 days, (before HD2 with custom rom) and the HD2 did use only 5ma on standby...

[HTC Sensation] faux123:
Due to recent issues with battery drain for 023 kernels, I have moved up the time table for 024 Open Beta (I was going to take a vacation from sensation but I kept getting dragged back due to battery issues).

Remember, OPEN BETA is NOT for everyone and your FEEDBACK is very important to the rest of the kernel users, so please report as accurately as possible.

Treat the OPEN BETA as CM7 nightlies, which means I will accept reports of issues here, but I WILL NOT respond to any requests for features.

When reporting

ALWAYS state

: [ ROM: ARHD 3.6.xx ] [ kernel 024 build-03 ]!

So here it is:

1.56 GHz NoHz => http://www.multiupload.com/3FWYA0V120 <=

Version 0.2.4 (Beta, ETA Don't even ask..., Official GB2.3.4)

< 01 > (Internal)

< 02 >

NoHz RCU (for battery test)

ZRAM disabled (for battery test, will be re-enabled in FINAL 2 builds to compare)

Intelligent OnDemand Governor (battery saving CPU governor)

-- Built-in Screen Off profile (like SmartAss)

-- Built-in Thermal Management (like thermald) <== NOT YET implemented

-- Built-in Web Browsing detection <== NOT YET implemented

-- Allow tweaks of screen-off policies via sysfs interface <== NOT YET implemented

Disable BCM4329 wake irq when stopped (battery saving fix)

Re-order PPP packets in PPPoLAC and PPPoPNS (VPN bug fix)

PLL clock training with higher frequencies for better stability (stability enhancements)

GPU 2D scaling (code is there but NOT ACTIVATED yet)

< 03 >

Introducing GPU 2D scaling governor (completely original coding from me)

-- now it will scale from 145.455MHz~200 MHz depending on usage (this should save additional battery while screen is on).

Still think its weird that when calling someone and talking to someone for 30 mins my phone used up 17% battery. I'm starting to think that there is a bug in the battery drivers, and that the battery doesn't charge all the way full, and have inaccurate readings.(thinking its only in custom kernels, cause stock charges and drain fine)

[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Check with dev.

Most of those scripts only work the first time new ROM is booted @ 100% battery, then they're erased.

So -- if you want to calibrate battery, you have to calibrate battery yourself.

Only a couple of hours on beta 3, but looks promising. Too early for screenshots but 2 hours, including 30 minutes streaming internet radio and connected to bluetooth and I'm still at 91%.

I'll get it up to 100% before I go to bed, and then leave phone on overnight to get a good idea about idle usage.

Report tomorrow @ 5am eastern with numbers.

Has anyone else seen the battery "jumping" issue

have you seen the "jumping" issue with the battery where it seems stuck on 100% forever and then takes a big drop? I know I have seen it on every ARHD version since 3.1 and this thread, h/t V6-Maniac and jug6ernaut purports to have a fix, which is also reported as being seen by a number of senior members. I am not sure if it is kernel related or ROM related, can Faux123 and other senior people please look?

(I am trying it now after nandroid backup) :eek:
[HTC Sensation] yungyeh:
No. It will not affect battery drain but the reading. As I understand the UOT framework may conflict to some custom rom (such as ARHD) causing wrong voltage reading. Therefore you may see huge battery drop, especially after a reboot. If you completely power off you phone and restart, the reading may get back to normal. Besides, the UOT framework may sometimes affect a phone's functionality such as auto-brightness and proximity meter.
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
I still have a minor battery drop. I'm gonna give it another run tomorrow and see what the deal is. I'm running the newest beta.
