I'm on a Android Revolution HD 3.0.2 with 3G watchdog and JuiceDefender running constantly, data on only while the screen is on, nothing else is on and I get an average of 250mA losing. When I do smth with my phone, it jumps up to around 500-600. Lowest at 120 for some brief moments.

I am a medium user with some internet on the go [ which uses more battery because of the signal strength changing every couple of seconds ], a lot of calls [ a lot calling me too ], few sms messages, gmail syncing every 30 mins, a little gps and this kind gets me through the day about 15hours.

But when I use the internet fully for a whole hour, the battery drops down to about 55%,

Very unstable battery drainage.
[HTC Sensation] vortecks:
Using Superlite 1.4 and the lowest mine has ever been is 120mah in flight mode (LeeDroid was 220 at lowest).

I've tried nearly every ROM now and can't get any more than 12 hours use. This is a real problem when you're away for 18 hours with no access to a charge point :(

Didn't use the phone at all yesterday (maybe turned the screen on half a dozen times for a few seconds) and it went to 30% in 18 hours.

Only thing I have running is POP email (15 minute pull) and the rest is stock.

No Wifi, no bluetooth, usually 3g.

Sadly, I didn't keep the stock ROM long enough to see how much it drains..... I just had to flash ;)
[HTC Sensation] john21511:
Stock Rom stock kernel. I have 1850 mAh 3d EVO extended battery I just got. Drained it and charged fully. I got 19 hrs no sync brightness all the way up WiFi on the whole time 3 hrs of display time. Hour or so of call time. Moderate usage I think. Stock battery I would only get about 10 hours out of it.
[HTC Sensation] DeoreDX:
I thought it was pretty common knowledge that all of those current reading programs don't report the current drain correctly on the sensation.
[HTC Sensation] :
That's correct, theres no app currently out, that can show the correct mA drainage.

..I mean if it really drain 200mA in an hour overnight it should be dead after about 8 hours sleep - simple calculation ^^.
[HTC Sensation] d.brown:
Oh I'm using both battery monitor and current widget... Only issues with reporting mA on sensation was in standy mode... I'm using a beta version of battery monitor widget and It's fix i've got more than 12h with 70% display...my phone got as low as 13mA in sleep mode!!! ... Got 3g sync, my 5 homescreens of widgets...I'm amazed first time I'm getting those numbers

I'll contact the app dev and ask I'm if I can share the beta version that he sent me because don't know what he did but it worked for me!! I'll post a screen shot later today.

THANK YOU for posting guys! Remember to put rom/kernel and screen shots if possible

Battery Monitor Widget - beta APK for Sensation devices

Here is a beta APK (official update over the week-end).

This will fix the wrongly reported mA usage during standby... 200mA in standby means 8 hours max on standby with a 1500mAh battery! I got 40+ hours of standby/use.

To take advantage of the update, you have to enable the 'mA corrections' in the monitoring settings! Indeed there's a bug on Sensation battery driver/hardware, and HTC doesn't seem to want to fix it! It's fixed on the Evo 3D though!

One more note, I don't recommend using both BMW and Current Widget. Current Widget is a nice widget but it consumes more than BMW. You can verify that using System Tuner recording feature!

In future posts, it might be a good idea to post screen shots of the graphics showing times with screen on/off!

EDIT: Pro users should have received the update through Market, if not just check Market manually!
[HTC Sensation] d.brown:
Thank you for accepting my invitation and sharing the beta with them...really amazing work again thx!

Hi my name is DloBrown and Im A nightly addict!!!
[HTC Sensation] d.brown:
To all of you guys...I really hope it will help resolving the drainage issues that we been having ... you guys are welcome :)

Hi my name is DloBrown and Im A nightly addict!!!
[HTC Sensation] d.brown:
Sorry...

Hi my name is DloBrown and Im A nightly addict!!!
[HTC Sensation] Simba501:
I was concerned when I first started reading. I don't have the device yet, so I didn't know there was a bug with mA reporting (which should be very low in standby - like, less than 20). I'm interested to hear more people chime in.
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
The bug is actually in the kernel reporting the value... It keeps saying 200-300mA incorrectly even when you get a 1% drain every 3/4 hours!

The app is trying to work-around this issue to provide accurate reading no matter what. Only Battery Monitor Widget is able to do that right now!

Now, some are having battery issues... happens with every phones anyway!

For the Battery Monitor Widget Pro users, the update has been released on Market, so please feel free to report on the app thread or the app web site.

And report your Sensation's drainage here too :D
[HTC Sensation] placebo89:
Try juice defender
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
What's the benefit of it?
[HTC Sensation] iammer:
If you are having battery issues on a stock ROM. Check the htc sense sync interval under accounts and sync. Stock setting is "push", that killed my battery initally. I disabled it entirely and my battery life is great.
[HTC Sensation] awesam:
i would love to report battery drainage stats

your first post should include the app used. if its an apk, a link would be nice and a little howto install an apk for the noobs.
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
You can use Battery Monitor Widget, it records data to a file and shows nice graphics. Then you can post a screenshot easily. The beta APK is on post #2 I think.

If you get the Pro version, it's updated on Market already.

Note that Sensation needs the 'mA corrections' to be activated in the monitoring settings for good results in stand-by.
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Now I did, so as mentioned earlier it doesn't provide the drain at all... And it looks more like a battery killer than a monitoring app. Only added a 4x1 widget and alreayd consuming +20 seconds in less than 2 hours! More than my HTC weather live wallpaper!

Also it seems to be driving the Android system core crazy consuming 8 minutes in the same time frame! Uninstalling asap!
[HTC Sensation] MrRedman:
Just get an battery with larger mAh. I bought a 1900mAh and it's lasting the whole day with moderate internet usage, both 3G and sync on as well as screen brightness on max.

Latest report: 3hours 15 minutes on charge, battery down to 85%
[HTC Sensation] d.brown:
Great but where's your mA?! That's the accurate way to get your battery consumption

Hi my name is DloBrown and Im A nightly addict who've been sober for too long!!!
[HTC Sensation] xaccers:
No one should by trying to turn their battery into a consommé :D
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
So how much time should I expect from 1520mAh battery for book reading @ 100% screen brightness? And @ minimum brightness? Because I'm a bit disappointed right now with real life performance of Sensation and wondering if maybe I'm doing something wrong....
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Hard to say precisely, but considering a LED screen consumes between 300mA and 700mA, you can expect between 2 and 5 hours. 4 to 6 hours is what I can use the device non-stop at max.

Here are 2 screen-shots of BMW showing how much total run-time I got with my 'standard' use and more recent uses, benching/testing all the time :D, ranging from 55 hours down to 24 hours...

Feel free to share yours, so maybe we can find some correlations or something wrong.

This tells me I need to add the 'screen-on' time somewhere for us to check! :D
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
Yes, that would be useful comparison wise :) I just installed your program so I will post my results after full charge/discharge cycle.

One question - when charging, does your widget show estimated time to full charge or how much use time I would get from the battery?
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
It shows time to full charge.

I'm working (well planning to work) on adding a screen (but where there's stuff everywhere already!) to show use time for various situations, eg talk time, standby, music, movie, game, etc...

Then you'll get both time to full charge and actual use time. The widget should also be able to show any of that info.
[HTC Sensation] mat9v:
Well, you could use part of a screen (replacing one view in dual view mode) and as to the widget, there is a battery one that when tapped blurs the background, shows a virtual battery and displays some info - you could run with that option or just expanding the widget to 4x4 when tapped to display info and closing after some time/after tapping.

Sorry for hijacking the thread :)

We should continue that kind of discussion in your program's thread.
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Noted and very interesting, quoted your post in the app's thread.
[HTC Sensation] gtrplr71:
I am on Revolution 3.1.1 faux 0.1.4 I unplugged my phone at 3:45 AM it is 7:50pm great batterylife moderate use. I underclock at 1.2 Ghz

stock battery my average percentage draw is 5% per hour
[HTC Sensation] gtrplr71:
stats with new anker 1900mA battery still 39% left
[HTC Sensation] gtrplr71:
3C I thought your widget reported correctly I cant get mine to and there are a lot of people feel the same Is there a problem we don't know about?
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
I'm not hidding anything if that's what you're implying. just go through the app's thread, everything have been discussed: I've added a work-around in recent updates to cope with one of the known bugs of the newest HTC battery drivers (mA reporting in standby to name it, not for the 100% bug)...

A lot of people have reported in this thread the work-around works nicely for them. I personally owned a Sensation for 2 months and the results were quite accurate, even measuring the total drain reported a total mAh of arund 1750 using a 1730mAh Evo battery.

I even received reports from Sensation owners that they get accurate mA reading without the work-around, while others don't, same on HTC Evo 3D and few other recent HTC devices!

As stated in the app's thread too: mA is not a standard data on Android OS, and many manufacturers don't even report it, some reports fake values, some reports very accurate data.
[HTC Sensation] jahmezis45:
BMW doesnt report the correct readings for the sensation even with the newest updated version of BMW which i have. Its actually useless as of now
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Wrong thread anyway it works out for many, me included. Sorry for you. Why don't you email HTC support and ask why their 500$ phone can't report accurate mA in the first place!

EDIT: Attached a screen-shot showing the mA reported on my phone :D Also a screenshot showing my various run-times (using upcoming app update)
[HTC Sensation] jahmezis45:
I can get my battery to show low ma as well by using the option estimated and the ma reading is always very low then if i switch it to sensation it goes high ma again im just stating the facts and im not even saying its your programs fault because the other battery montior apps dont work either its definitely something with the phone. Ive used your app on other phones and it works like a charm it just doesnt report correctly because of the sensations shortcomings
[HTC Sensation] drms12:
I tried this app. Still show the same wrong ma values.
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
It works great for many :D So you might want to contact HTC and ask them to fix their battery driver.

PS: Maybe instead of poluting this thread, you should go on the app's thread to get help.
[HTC Sensation] drms12:
What is the correct monitor settings i should set ?
[HTC Sensation] bartmans:
Hello

we both using Sensation, you get correct standby current data 6ma, I get 200ma. I am using BMW 1.8.9 and also checked "ma corrections" box. Am I doing something wrong.
[HTC Sensation] phra09:
I have tested few rounds on my sensation

after fully charged to 100%, my battery will drop about 25~30% in 8 hours when i sleeping. No turn on screen, wifi/data plan off, auto sync off

Just wonder is it normal?
[HTC Sensation] D_Magic:
Thats not normal...should be less then 10...i loose less then 5%
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
nice little app, thank you! i've noticed my phone has a sporadic rate of discharge. for a few hours after the charge it showed -3-5 mA, then it started going up into -2x-3x mA range. Any chance to see what's actually consuming that much power?

Appreciate it!
[HTC Sensation] Dj_ReX:
BMW is not stable as far as i tested. Sometimes it gives nearly correct values while in standby(around ~10mA), then goes crazy although nothing different happens and shows 100-150 mA in standby. I think the widget only works well in pro version, ha ?

edit: it works well for free btw. I get correct results for the whole night.
[HTC Sensation] L8 APEKS:
Why can't you just calculate your average drain by dividing your battery capacity by your run time per charge?

I get a full work day in between charges...10 hours. Screen average brightness 50% depending on lighting, always turned off when I'm not holding the phone or when I'm just using the WiFi (which I use quite a bit). Primarily a lot of texting.

Averaging 10+ hours on a 1900mah battery = 190ma drain thereabouts.

RevoHD ROM.
[HTC Sensation] Gillion:
Same here.

I am about to dump this app as it is never accurate.
[HTC Sensation] dobah:
I think the dialer is the problem. For my phone I get stellar battery life when my dialer isn't running. When the dialer is running, my running state stays at 100% and never goes to sleep. Rebooting temporarily helps until I make or receive a call then my battery life takes a hit.

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17383
[HTC Sensation] kushXmaster:
I get anywhere from 10 to 22 hours on mine. Moderate usage. Wifi and 4g on all the time.
[HTC Sensation] Dj_ReX:
Just wonder about how the standby works ? Last night the values were not accurate, but tonight they were outstanding btw. Stable @ 3mA all night long. After I woke up I open the phone, then 5mins later pressed the power button and made it standby again. Did I do anything different that the phone drains more than 3mA with Wifi-gps turned off during the whole night ? What makes the difference ? Won't the phone stay in standby during the day time? Is it something related to the light sensor ? I am really curious about the answers of the questions.

Thanks in advance.

Ps: my Rom is Android Revolution HD 3.6.2 with suggested radio. Stock battery.
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
I'm using current widget and my current usage never drops below 25 mA when charging. I've turned off everything that can be turned off - WiFi, GPS, bluetooth, background data, sync, mobile network, and placed the phone in airplane mode and the current will not go below about 25 mA.

I logged the current all night and the current log shows a usage spike once an hour for anywhere from 6 minutes to 30 minutes. The spikes go from about +30 mA to - 50 mA while plugged into a wall charger and everything off.

The only conclusion I can reach is that the app is giving false mA readings, but maybe there is a battery problem or something else is going on that I don't know about. Any ideas?

I have the revolution HD 3.6.2 ROM with stock radio and stock battery.
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
same here. once you use the phone for anything, bye bye 3ma in standby.
[HTC Sensation] Dj_ReX:
Current widget sucks! Believe me i used tons of widgets with revolution HD ROMs with 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 Radio. The only widget working, after update, is Battery Monitor Widget. But if you do not flash your radio, battery sucks either! Wipe everything by Super_Wipe_Script, in addition, mount everything from recovery(cache,data,..etc.) Then wipe them, too (including dalvik cache). After that, calibrate your battery. If you use Current Widget, it never says "0". Actually, i am trying different calibration methods. I first make a full discharge-charge till %100. Then, unplug and power down. Plug again while off for 1 hour. Turn the device on, unplug and plug again. Make this cycle for 2-3 times, to verify it's fully charged(another method is to be sure that your battery stats shows at least 4.2-4.25 mV if it is fully charged). In the final step, while off-charging, do not unplug ! Turn the device on with recovery mod. Wipe battery stats, reboot and when you see launcher unplug the charger. I made 3mA drainage possible with this method. Be patient, after 5 full discharging-charging process, everything seems to be stable. But whatever you do with the stock battery, it sometimes doesn't last for one day with heavy usage from 8:00am to 8:00pm. I am a moderate to heavy user, i actually want to buy some Anker stuff, but it is not available to Turkey. 2x Anker+Charger is $30 for US, but for Turkey, 30$ for 1x battery. Quite expensive to buy!

I wonder if someone sends me with a reasonable price for 2xAnker+charger.

What would be the reason, then ? Why only at night ,but not on daily use ?

Someone should answer the question !?! :confused:
[HTC Sensation] umartariq:
charging current never drops to zero

Hi ALL,

I'm using InsertCoin 3.4.2 radio 10.58.9035.00P_10.15.9035.02_2 on HTC Sensation.

My charging current never drops to zero no matter how long I put on charge. I charge it over night and it stays on 100mA.

What can be the issue? Does any other sensation owner facing the same?

[HTC Sensation] webmaster:
I just installed the beta, thanks! I was actually a BMW user for a while, but I was told to use Current Widget by another user. I never really liked CW so I am glad to be back using your app. How long will the beta be active for? Do I need to purchase a license on the market after a few days?
[HTC Sensation] rryanosman:
Looks like an outstanding program... will buy if it really works.
[HTC Sensation] gamefreakz123:
Someone please help i have the rom Android Revolution HD 3.6.7. I downloaded current widget and been getting very unstable mA. On average, I would have around ~40mA while in sleep mode but at times, it would jump to about 300-500mA...even though I'm not using the phone. Can someone help me? Also tried looking at battery history in spare parts but it says I do not have battery stats.

I do not know how to upload the log files
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
:facepalm: have you not read this thread?
[HTC Sensation] rryanosman:
Post your apples to apples info!

I would like to get to the bottom of what's the difference between Sensation #1 that burns 50ma in standby and Sensation #2 that burns 3ma in standby. I'm sure we'd all like to know how to get our sensations to use as little battery as possible. So can you guys who are getting low current readings please post info about your phones? (I'm lookin' at you 3c and dj_rex!)... We need to know what ROM, Kernel, and Radio (baseband version) you're using. Those are the crucial pieces, but any other info you think is relevant would be welcome too. Post that, along with what your current drain settles down to (unplugged, like after an hour). Obviously, I would say everyone please feel free to post your data, even if it ain't great, so we know where we all are on the curve.

Here's where I'm at today (latest revolutionHD with recommended kernel & radio):

Rom: Revolution HD 4.1.7

Kernel: 2.6.35.14-Sensation-faux123-v0.2.5b+

Baseband: 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2

Standby Current drain: ~-40ma, spikes to ~-150ma
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
stock kernel, insertcoin's latest rom, 10.15.9035.01 radio.

standby overnight from -3-10ma, drops about 4-5% over 7 hours.

standby in the daytime is everywhere lol

the main thing here is how long does your battery last with the average usage? there's no conspiracy here. choose different monitoring settings in the battery monitor widget, i.e. automatic, estimated, sensation, etc. and see what kind of readings you get. my readings are done with "automatic" detecting.
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
guys, ever since flashing insertcoin's latest 2.3.5 rom, the bmw is showing +0mA drain with the screen on. Once the screen goes off, it's showing the correct drain. Anyone else experiencing this? tried uninstalling and installing, different monitoring options, nothing helps. thank you!
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
Stev32k, Did you ever get something different, other kernel?. I have the same problem, after reaching between 20 to 25 ma, it has a spike to aroung -100, and starting charge again from 40 ma to 25 ma and does it again, aprox. every hour.

I am on ARHD 3.6.12 with faux kernel 1.56, just as it is flash by default.
[HTC Sensation] su27:
I have currently ARHD 6.0.2 on my Sensation.

Yesterday, at 11 AM I pulled out sim cards from my old Desire and my new Sensation. Put both phones into flight mode so no WiFi, no data communication. There are very similar apps on both phones. Screen off - no waking up. Both phones calibrated at 100% battery.

At 1 AM my Desire (Leedroid ROM) had 96% battery and Sensation had only 46% left. In flight mode. Something is wrong here...

Will BMW help me to catch what drains my battery?
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
try using watchdog lite from the market and set a percentage threshold for applications. see if anything performs weird that way.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikmax:
Hi

I wanted to install an android ROM on my HD2.

I installed HSPL as i should do and everything went fine.

Then i went to install MAGLDR and the installation went fine too.

But then, it started as i would think it showed me the HTC logo. But after 30min it was still on the logo. And on everyother video i saw it was just a sec to load it. So i trieded to install MAGLDR again. Still the same result.

I installed the latest radio still the same result.

I removed HSPL and reinstalled it and then install MAGLDR still the same result.

What did i do wrong and how to fix it? i am able to get into the red green blue whit screen
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cenobite_:
Just a dumb question, did you install a ROM after MAGLDR?
