[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coley909:
I have the same issue with mine I just got it. It is rooted but the problem persisted before this since the day I got it. Any help would be great.

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

heres a start, I found some help since I cant post the link yet ill copy what he said. You need a static IP address that will solve the issue.

it came from anythingbutipod website.

Hi,

To get to the static IP settings:

1) Settings ==> Wireless and network ==> Wi-Fi Settings

2) Menu button ==> Advanced

3) Note the "IP Address", which should be something like "aaa.bbb.ccc.x", where "x" is some number from 2 - 255 (or thereabouts)

The 1st 3 numbers (octets) tell you your "subnet", to which you want to assign a static IP.

4) Press "Use static IP" to check the checkbox

Enter:

IP Address: This would be something like aaa.bbb.ccc.x, where you "aaa.bbb.ccc" was what you noted above, and you assign 'x' to some number, probably about 32.

Gateway: Probably aaa.bbb.ccc.1 (this is the IP of your "default gateway")

Netmask: Probably 255.255.255.0

DNS 1: Probably aaa.bbb.ccc.1 (this is the IP of your DNS server)

Yeah, I know there are a lot of Flash Player questions for a normal Optimus V, but I'm running Cyanogenmod 7 on mine and the Flash 10.1 apk I used before does not work, along with the 10.3 and 11 I found. Just wondering if there's any way to get Adobe Flash Player on the Optimus V w/ CM7 on it.

[HTC Sensation] mattbutsko:
So I've acquired an HTC Sensation and have unlocked, rooted, and installed a few ROMs so far. Stock, CM7.1, and Android Revolution HD. That last one is the one I'm on.

My battery life sucks. Whereas my Blackberry Bold 9700 would go one to two days with constant, heavy usage, this phone gets about 4 to 6 hours. My battery graph says that Display is using 80% to 90% of my battery. I've turned off auto-adjust and set the brightness to minimum, it hasn't helped. Am I ****ed?

I've tried other things, underclocked to 1Ghz, different ROMs, battery calibration, no HTC Sense account, no friendstream, disabled background data and autosync. I've tried everything, and yet the display is totally destroying my battery. Keep in mind too, I mentioned the Blackberry, but I've had Android experience before. I'm not a total noob, and I'm not a pro.

EDIT: If you've got semi-****ty battery, check my last post on page 2. It might help ya out. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19062683&postcount=20
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
That's an LCD screen for you. It will always be the biggest power consumer of this phone. I believe that in general, the screen will always be the biggest power consumer of a phone, but LCD is especially bad. It doesn't help that the Sensation has an average-sized battery either.

That said, I can't believe your battery life is that bad, considering you've underclocked, tried different ROMs, calibrated the battery (although I've heard that this can actually decrease batt life), and disabled background data. Make sure you have matching radio + ril in case you haven't yet. I just can't believe that if you're doing all those battery saving tricks at the same time that your batt life would still be bad. Or did you try those things by themselves? You should try several things at once, but I'm assuming you already have.

LCD screen tech really needs to hit the grave. I like qHD resolution, but otherwise I hate the Sensation's screen. I don't get why so many Sensation owners think it's a good screen. LCD is absolutely worthless outside - I turn brightness all the way up and I can still hardly see it. I don't care if SAMOLED has oversaturated colors - as long as it's usable in any conditions I think it's better. Not only is SAMOLED much brighter and usable, it is much more power efficient than LCD. Honestly the screen alone of the Galaxy Nexus is making me consider it just because I hate the Sensation's screen that much (as well as other things about this phone).
[HTC Sensation] mattbutsko:
I'm doing them all at once. I flashed the radio that mike (author of the ROM I'm using) suggested because he said the RIL file(s) are built in.

I'll post a battery stats screen cap when I can, but I don't have the means to do so right now.

Edit: There it is. Normally, I don't partial charge, but I had to take it off briefly a few minutes ago. As you can see, it was hitting critical levels around 5 hours in before I threw it back on the charger. The line drops steadily usually when the display is being used.

Here's the shot that claims Display is the culprit.
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
I feel like android never goes into detail as to how much being on 4G drains your batteries. If you switch to EDGE (2G) only, you could see an improvement in battery life. You can get to it from Settings>Wireless Networks>Mobile Data.

If that doesn't work out for you, consider trying out Juice Defender on the market, it's helped me extend my battery life a considerable amount. It does nothing while you're using your phone, but when your screen is off, it'll disable mobile data, and every 15 min (or 30, you could change this in settings), the phone will enable mobile data for a minute so Facebook/Twitter/Messenging Apps can sync.

Aside from that, you can try turning down the brightness levels.

If you're willing to shell out a little cash, your next option would be to cop an Anker battery from eBay or Amazon. This would help the most, imo.
[HTC Sensation] dobah:
I have tried many things but so far the biggest thing to affect my battery life is disabling bluetooth. That alone takes about 2% per hour of battery life even if I never use it. My usage is light with some games, mail, and texting. Included is a snapshot of today's random usage. I don't know why but my display isn't listed in the snapshot.

One thing I would check is the spare parts app that hopefully is included in android. Look at the battery history->other usage->since last unplugged. Specifically the percentage of running. Mines says running is 12%, screen on is 4%, wifi on is 83%. If your phone is 100% running, then it is never going to sleep.

[HTC Sensation] ak29:
Ur comparing the sensation to a bb 9700? 9700 is not dual core or a 4.3 inch screen. Androids typically have the worst battery life when compared to iPhones and blackberrys. Also HTC phones usually have the worst battery life out of all the android phones.

How long have u had ur phone? Have u gone through at least 5 charging cycles? Did u calibrate ur battery after flashing new roms?

@secano,

What game where you playing? I have played some that will kill my anker battery in 3.5 hours but never in just over 2!
[HTC Sensation] secano:
I was using Skype with full brightness.
[HTC Sensation] taniwha913:
I have the same problem, more or less.

I had a great improvement installing "juice defender", this app cutting off the 3g as soon as the screen is off, putting it on once every hour to chek mail etc.

try it.

it's an improvement, but my battery drain remain awful. I had a HTC HD2, and was used to 4-6 ma, now, if it's under 80, i'm happy...
[HTC Sensation] jl8935:
Turn the brightness down. I only use auto brightness in the daylight. I used a app called dimmer to turn the brightness down to 10. The minimum setting the phone will allow is 30 so dimmer turns it down more. The dimmer app is nice it switches brightness down to 10 and the next click sets it back, so I have it switch between auto and 10. Full brightness will kill your battery fast.
[HTC Sensation] mattbutsko:
I never directly compared them, I'm just sharing my past experiences. I never expected the sensation to come even close in battery life.

anyhow, ill try juice defender and my Bluetooth and brightness are off and set to low. it just sucks cause I seem to only lose a lot when the screen is on, but I don't want to blame S-LCD because this seems to only affect a small percentage of users.

worst case scenario, ill buy a new battery. thanks everyone for taking a look, please excuse the grammar, on my sensation right now :D
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
@OP... don't worry about battery life. I am in the same scene as you are...

Running an HD game would drain by battery in 2 to 3 hrs with lowest brightness and everything off.. My only problem is low network signal...

if you start using your mobile as laptop like playing games etc then you get as much time as a laptop gives u... But if you use it as a phone, out will do all say..

So either change device or line with it..;)
[HTC Sensation] Tasos19s:
In Android Revolution the kernel spends the battery. You can flash the bricked kernel and you will see the battery life in normal use under 20 hours. You can find it under android development for sensation here in xda. I flashed yesterday and with wifi on and all sync on I have 45%. 12 hours from the last charge.
[HTC Sensation] mattbutsko:
I will most definitely try this when I return from work. I may have to flash cyanogenmod, which seems to give me slightly better life. is the stock AR HD kernel really that bad?

edit: okay I went ahead and flashed the bricked kernel while at work. hope it helps, but I lost 10% battery to do it and I'm down to 20% left. we'll see how it does.
[HTC Sensation] Tasos19s:
From what I read we have a new faux kernel. You can check it after bricked.
[HTC Sensation] mattbutsko:
Hey guys. Small update.

I am recalibrating the battery, again, yet something special is happening this time. I ran the phone down and it played a 1080p video on max brightness with wifi, bluetooth, gps, background data all on. It played the video for 15 to 20 minutes while sitting at 0%! Now, I'm currently recharging it and best part, it's been at 100% and still charging, orange LED and all, for about 40 minutes now. Considering my charger charges at .75A an hour, thats something like .50ish A, or 500mAH that I didn't have before. That could explain my pathetic battery life. Imagine if it charges at 100% for an hour! That's 750 mAH that I lost due to bad calibration, half my battery!

Hopefully with a few more cycles, and some good luck, my battery meter will correct itself and I'll see regular battery life!

edit: Two hours In, I'm overclocked to 1.5ghz, have max brightness, wifi, GPS, Bluetooth all on. background data and auto sync enabled. the screen has been on almost the entire time. current battery? 40%! that's with constant interaction, at times, I was playing games and listening to music at the same time. I mean Im using this phone to the max and its performing incredibly.

in real life, I will underclock to 1 or 1.2ghz (still an underclock since the system is clocked at 1.5ghz default) and wont have the screen on the entire time, so I shouldn't have a hard time making it through a day with moderate to heavy use :) I also never really use BT and wifi is a rarity. background data will likely stay enabled, but we'll see.

please excuse grammar, on the sensation right now and I just gave up the BB 9700 keyboard just two days ago, one of the only good things about that phone!

edit2: okay so I ran down the phone. it shut down just minutes before the 3 hour mark. this is very exciting because my battery barely decreases while the screen is off. on Max brightness and wifi/GPS/Bluetooth/4G on, and the screen on for all but about 10 minutes, I got about 3 hours. this is exceptional. ill do a real world test tomorrow and report back, but things are looking up. currently, brightness is set to auto, wifi is off, GPS and Bluetooth are off, processor is clocked at 1.2ghz. very excited that this one calibration actually did something!

also, I consider HSPA+ to be 4G cause its about 10 times faster than any 3G out there and it's actually been official for a while.

www.phonearena.com/news/ITU-says-LTE-WiMax-and-HSPA--are-now-officially-4G_id15435

Edit3: It helped, but I'll be buying a Chichitech battery, ordering it tomorrow. 1900mAh better make a difference.
[HTC Sensation] mattbutsko:
So its been a few days, but here's what I did to get acceptable battery - all at once:

Flash a Cyanogenmod rom, HyperSensation, the other one, Selfkang or whatever is a MAJOR battery destroyer for me. Any kernel, any clock speed, I'd lose 5 to 10% an hour just idling. I lost 15% alone playing 4 mp3s through my AUX cable. Not saying it's like this for everyone, but it was for me.

Flashed Faux's kernel, Joe's RCU from his thread.

Underclocked to 1.08Ghz while the screen is on, 540Mhz while the screen is off.

Undervolted the processor using FauxClock to -37.5mV, might go even lower if it's stable.

Ordered a 1900mAh ChiChiTech battery from Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/CHICHITEC-T-mobile-Sensation-Cellphone-Battery/dp/B0057US9YW - whether or not it's 1900mAh doesn't really apply, but what does is that I instantly got 20% more and I'm not even done conditioning. It's only 23 bucks, two for thirty. I was so anxious to try to get a battery that I next-dayed it for 17 bucks.

I'm a moderate to heavy user, I used some wifi hotspot today, automatic brightness for the display, background data and auto-sync, listening to standup comedy mp3s for 1.5 to 5 hours a day, web for probably 30 minutes to an hour a day, and today specifically, 45 minutes of Legends of Yore (fun rogue-like!) and 15 minutes of Age of Zombies.

Only two thirds of my battery used and I've been off the charger for 13 hours. My old battery would have given out about 6 hours ago, and that's if I cut my activity in half.

Anyhow, problem's solved, but I figured it'd be a good read for anyone in a similar boat.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
I'm sure a lot of us were DISAPPOINTED when it was announced that the Galaxy Nexus won't have a micro-SD card slot. But what if it supported USB Host mode where you could just plug in a USB flash drive into the micro USB connector and read data off it, like playing a movie or whatever?

I'm sure we could find a USB > micro USB adapter somewhere.

Does anyone know if the Galaxy Nexus will support USB host mode? Actually, if ICS supported this feature, couldn't we do this with ALL Android phones that support ICS? Is it a software thing or a hardware thing?

This would be a HUGE advantage over iphone!

UPDATE:

I meant, does this support this mode: USB mass storage device class (referred to as MSC or UMS)

Why don't you browse the forum before you post? It has been tested and it does not work. Not with the stock kernel. You would need to root and flash your phone with a custom one to get it working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donrosko:
When we gave our first impressions of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, we were a bit taken aback by the fact that USB mass storage wasn't supported on the device, leading us to believe that it was a flaw in Android 4.0. Android engineer Dan Morrill took to the 'net to sort out the confusion, explaining that Ice Cream Sandwich does indeed support the feature, but only on devices that offer removable storage cards -- which explains why we weren't able to use it on the Nexus. Here's why, according to Dan:

It isn't physically possible to support UMS on devices that don't have a dedicated partition for storage (like a removable SD card, or a separate partition like Nexus S.) This is because UMS is a block-level protocol that gives the host PC direct access to the physical blocks on the storage, so that Android cannot have it mounted at the same time.

Official thread: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8432-rommiuius-defx/

I recommend visiting the aforementioned thread for support. (As DXC won't be maintaining this one)

WARNING: I am not the developer/maintainer for this ROM, I simply reposted it here on XDA (with DXC's permission of course) for the good of the community.

CURRENT STATUS: LINK DOWN, UPDATING

Can be downloaded via ROM Manager.

This is for the DROID X on the GINGERBREAD KERNEL.

This is MIUI 1.10.28, created from MIUI.us Defy Base merged with DX essential.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the custom bootmenu, you will not be able to get to CWM recovery through ROM Manager. The reboot menu's CWM recovery option will work perfectly though. Also, in the custom bootmenu, 2nd-boot mode doesn't work yet, but I plan to give you a boot manager type option with it, where you can swap ROMs.

How to reenable rom manager for the current session only:

In Terminal Emulator (free from the market), type:

su

Then you can use Rom Manager normally and it will work until your next reboot into MIUI.

Installation Instructions:

The defy base has MIUI style browser by default.

Here is the STOCK style browser: http://dl.dropbox.co...tockBrowser.zip

Enjoy!
