dont be so fast to judge. give it a few "full" cycles to fully settle down.

its just at the beginning that battery drains like a hog.

dont forget to clear batt stats

lets keep the thread clean without this asking/whining. the devs work very hard to do what they do. last thing they wanna hear is a "why is my phone not working the way sense does bla bla bla". this is an alpha rom which means there will be bugs, so the people that are kool with that proceed on flashing and if you want a perfect rom i suggest you move along. (in a nice way). i for one are very pleased with the cooking/developing of this rom which has made my sensation the best phone i have ever had. kudos to kmobs and the whole developing team. thanks
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Ill second the notion to give cm7-10 a few cycles before deciding its a battery nazi. Each time I flash a new ROM, I watch my battery go from 100% (as in, 4.2v 100%) to dead within hours. They all settle down and produce longer battery life times...How long then becomes the question.

CM7-10 so far, for me, is the best. I love to browse the web and havent had any browser FCs and also have found it to be much smoother. This is with the stock browser of course. Its not like my GFs g2x, but its much better than all other ROMs out there that I have been trying.

The camera SEEMs fasters as well...Thats another biggie for me. Same cheesy interface, but faster response times (for me anyways).

Looks like that alleged HA is showing itself.:cool:

Good work Kmobs and the CM team. Im a critic and can say this is a great build to try for those that havent tried CM7 yet.

A10 video issues

I'm on plain a10 now (no fancy kernels or anything) and I'm having video issues (not video recording). :confused:

For example playing Youtube videos (with the app, no flash installed) gives me problems and also running Talking Tomcat (I have a very young son :-) has no sound (sometimes) or just freezes (- wait and FC still possible). Restarting the app brings just a black screen. Rebooting solved the problem (temporary)...

Had no issues with a 8 and 9.

Regards, Thomas
[HTC Sensation] nory82688:
UoYeah, I had to go back to alpha 8 for now with bricked kernel until battery issue is corrected in alpha 10. 8 seems to work the best for me as far as battery, camera (modded version ) and browser. But 10 was extremely smooth, its ashame the battery suffered.

Edit: and before anyone says I should've went through a few battery cycles, I did go through 3 of them with no improvement. ;-p
[HTC Sensation] aiinjylls:
The camera works fine. If you edit the media.XML file and change 1280x1088 to 1280x720, video works wonderfully and camera zoom can be fixed by shooting the pic and zooming in AFTER
[HTC Sensation] doalittledanse:
That does fix it but it was never needed before. And that also makes the changes jumpy.
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
I've tried it both ways and being strict like that does help. My glacier gets 18 hours no problem, even with regular use including navigation, slacker, calls and texts.

So far alpha 10 on the sensation has gone 4 hours and still above 80%.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
I just watched a ton of Backstreet Boys (yeah baby :cool:) videos on youtube in HD with no trouble. Id suggest:

1-Reflash Alpha 10

2-Try a new kernel (I use faux)

3-Wipe cache and dalvik

4-Clear data for youtube

[HTC Sensation] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
I just can't for the life of me figure out why they wouldn't make the camera a top priority? I literally gave my Sensation to my wife last weekend because I can't stand Sense, and I can't stand the fact that every AOSP ROM for the Sensation has a broken camera :mad:!!! I finally gave up and bought the Galaxy S2. Except for Touch Wiz, it's amazing!!!
[HTC Sensation] nory82688:
Boooo! Should've waited for the galaxy nexus! Lol just kidding. To each is own, good luck. Sorry back on topic now
[HTC Sensation] mutiny:
Alpha 11 should be released on 11/11/11. Just sayin'.
[HTC Sensation] kristofpetho:
But with that analogy, we have to wait until 12/12/12 until the next one?

Back on topic. Alpha 10 is running fine for me, smoother than 9 and the camera is more responsive! I also like the new CyanogenMod settings menu layout! Keep the excellent work!
[HTC Sensation] Gillion:
hahahahahahahahhahahahaha
[HTC Sensation] |ChauMein|:
Haha, I got to say the same

alpha 10 is great but its seriously draining my battery /: i'm at 77 % in about three hours with average use.
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
Whoa, whoa, whoa! What the heck is so hilarious?

I'm not much of a genius, but I sure don't think that's an analogy.
[HTC Sensation] Pvt WhoOkid:
I was having battery problems but then a simple, take battery out and put it back in fixed it. Using Fuax123 kernel though and getting 12 hours plus on battery.
[HTC Sensation] Paladin27:
My battery life since switching to CM7 has just gotten worse and worse with each new build. As of Alpha 10 I can barely make it 10 hours. I started with Alpha 7 and my battery life went from a full day and into the next morning on the stock build, to about 12-14 hours. As each new alpha has come out, I've flashed up and it seems like it's getting worse and worse. I have tried flashing the Faux kernal as somebody suggested in alpha 9 and now 10, but doesn't seem to make ANY difference. The "Battery Use" screen appears to be completely broken on CM7 for me. It shows random apps using crazy amounts of battery percentage. When I was on stock, it was ALWAYS my display as the top item and in CM7 display isn't even on the list. I'm really frustrated and disheartened by this as it seems like most people love the CM7 build for Sensation. :(
[HTC Sensation] mutiny:
You are correct. What I said wasn't an analogy at all. I said that as a little prediction on when kmobs would fix the Flash problem (perhaps along with the other minor bugs).

[HTC Sensation] bigtimebooch:
I too have this problem. For instance: I will launch the kindle app, use it for a minute or two and then close it out. As the day goes on, the battery app claims the kindle app has used 25-30% of my battery. There are many other apps that do this. You can't tell me they are all written so poorly that they eat up that many clock cycles when not in use.

I sometimes see the same thing the the dialer app when I have only made one very short phone call.

With normal use, I can get 10-12 hours of time. With mostly standby, I have gotten around 22-24 hours of use.
[HTC Sensation] cenwesi:
I am there with you on this one. I really don't get the battery use or is it BADLY written apps?
[HTC Sensation] nik.taylor:
I'm not sure if this is the answer, but it looks like you have a crappy phone signal where you are. The radio may be spending a lot of time switching from 2G -> 3G. You might want to try using toggle 2g and see if that saves any battery.
[HTC Sensation] cstark27:
Usually these apps will also have a pretty high sensor usage on spare parts...so that could be the issue. These same apps do not show high sensor usage or high battery usage on miui or sense. Despite that, I am getting the best battery life on a10 than I have gotten in a while. I posted my usage earlier in this thread...I was able to stream music for 4-4.5 hours and had my screen on an hour and a half roughly on a full charge. My Droid 1 was slightly worse, and my wife's stock Sensation is absolutely terrible.

Oh here is what my battery usage shows...display 7% at 1h30m...lol

Oh, slacker was only opened for a second. I streamed with Pandora...sensor usage for slacker was around 3 or so hours...however long since I opened it.

Spare parts, battery history, change dropdown to sensor usage

Most of the time CM7 runs awesome on my phone, but everyone so often I my phone will just freeze and nothing will bring it out except for a battery pull and reboot. It will then proceed to freeze immediately on boot for the next 10 or so reboots and after that it will just work. Most bizarre there I've ever experienced.

Nope, worked fine on ADW...using Launcher Pro, still fine. Are you using SetCPU or anything? I am not using any CPU controlling apps at the moment...stock kernel.
[HTC Sensation] umd:
It's not about smoothness. When you start swiping how many miliseconds does it take to follow your finger's move? I think this period is increased with alpha 10. You can make a fresh install of any other launcher and compare.
[HTC Sensation] Jutt69:
Read the thread. I already posted the solution to this.
[HTC Sensation] Part Four:
It's instant, and I'd say what you're talking about is, most certainly, smoothness.

[HTC Sensation] RutgervG:
Guus, what do you recommend. I am using cm7 since alpha 1 and didn't wipe since alpha 6. Used stock kernel and faux's kernel. Battery is draining like crazy and battery stats are completely ****ed also after a couple of battery stats wipes. So how can i improve my battery life on alpha10 which im running right now. I see some positive messages about bat life in a10. My feeling says a complete wipe won't do the trick, can't motivate that feeling though..please gimme some advice, that would be awesome!! Thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] umd:
As far as I know smoothness is fludity. It's moving fluidly but making that fluid move almost after I finish swiping with my finger.

Gallery power drain culprit ?

It appears that the gallery is the main power drain culprit.

I am not 100% certain...

But when I use gallery it stays active and eats power... more than anything else at a ridiculous rate... even when the device is supposed to be sleeping.

The only think I have found that stops gallery from eating power is rebooting.

I guess I'll have to use ES gallery for a while.

I see this occasionally while running Waze. GPS will start, lock, and then lose lock.

Waze also sees that I've turned around and that I am suddenly going the opposite of the direction I intend to. I'm sure this is partially a waze issue, but I have fewer gps problems when running other roms.

kmobs: What can I do data gathering wise to help troubleshoot this issues?

Wow. Something is wrong there.... I haven't touched the phone since I clocked in 8 hours ago and I'm at 98%
[HTC Sensation] Fihlvein:
I got to ask you guys, does your phone behave like mine - battery percentage will drop gradually just fine one percent by one, but suddenly it could get "stuck" to some percentage, and then drop for like 5 percents down at once.

Also, when rebooting phone, the percentage might be way more than before, but will soon again drop suddenly to much lower level. Basically, battery level does not drop gradually.

Another thing, I'm using Battery Widget Monitor since to my knowledge it tries to do the best job for our Sensation. But here's the trick: if you follow the BWM "available %" graphical presentation you can easily see when your phone is on standby, that there's a straight line - battery level will not drop as expected. But at the same time if you look at mA values during that time, they can suddenly be anything, even hundreds of mA per measurement point.

So I've come to find out that BWM can represent real consumption in curve, but the mA history view is inaccurate. I don't know why, but I intend to talk this with 3c (BWM developer).

Do you guys have any different observations?
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
I support your findings. I'd just put it down to me messing about too much.

Been using Current Widget myself and looking at the log file.

MOAR BATTERY ISSUES!

I seem to notice that it happens when i use the Data network :| and it was dropping WAY fast. if i dont browse or use my phone then battery life remains normal. as soon as i start to use it (without wifi) it drops about 2% a minute. If im on WiFi then the battery seems to go down a bit slower (still fast). here are some screenshots and the last one would be what i have up till now.

I am using Faux's latest beta kernel that was released after Alpha10 :x should i try bricked? Its also underclocked to 10.8 and undervolted to -75.

This one i took just now

D: halp ive been using Hypersensation up till their last update which removed WiFi calling and so i decided to give this another try. sadly i didnt do a nandroid backup so if i cant fix this then its back to stock.

Edit: yes battery is calibrated.
[HTC Sensation] yourpassenger:
I posted this in the hypersensation but thought I'd ask here too.

I am having a problem I had with this rom. I have a sports app for checking football scores, it uses push notifications (that work with your google account) to deliver real time scores, goals etc.

The notifications don't work, I think it has something to do with the push/google option because you can revert to a "polling" mode and that works, but obviously has battery implications and I use the paid version of the app specifically to utilise the push feature.

Any help would be great, thanks.
[HTC Sensation] meanwhile:
As someone suggested, flashed a10, charged battery and now waiting for it to die. Apart from couple of reboots which obviously messed up battery percentage greatly it runs ok.
