[HTC Sensation] stroobach:
i've tried to find a solution to get the most battery life you can have with the sensation. i've tested a few things and most things are confirmed by me and a friend to work.

if you all ready know this then dont complain at this thread, some people dont know this and im just sharing my foundings on the battery life.

first thing to expand the life is simply:

flash a proper radio..

every radio works different for every country

for me the latest radio (10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2) isnt stable..

im in the netherlands on vodafone and somehow it does have low signal strengt

this is affecting your battery alot since it have to search for signal alot..

it will also prefent your phone to go into deepsleep

the 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 works for me the best.

second part is the kernel

the 2 most used kernels are Faux and bricked

personally im using brickeds latest 1.6b1 on MIUI 1.11.18 (yes i know its a sense and not an AOSP kernel but its giving me a good battery life)

this kernel does have an awesome good deepsleeping function and still its performing like a beast.

i dunno how the faux kernel is doing since i dont use it so its up to you to test whats the best kernel for you.

3rd is apps

download a battery useage monitor to see if apps are prefenting your phone to sleep well and download a CPU monitor to see what apps are using a lot of CPU

for me laditude was prefenting my phone to go to sleep and maps used most of the time 100% CPU usage.

i dunno yet how this is possible but if you dont use those delete them or make sure to forcestop then is system/apps

another thing thats proven on PC monitors..

black is using alot less power so if you can aply themes and you dont care about how the UI looks like,

then give a dark theme a shot

it can give you 5-10% more on the battery life

also some people uses task killers. they think it will expand there battery lifes with killing apps.

wrong. most TK are killing apps that are needed for the phone to function

if you kill those apps it will simply restart so its using more power the restart the apps.

you can use a task killer but only kill apps like games or apps that are not needed by the phone

example

you can kill angry birds but you cant kill maps

maps will simply restart thus your phone needs power to restart

and last but not least

it might sound strange to you but i've read somewhere that underclocking the cpu might be negative for the battery

for example..

HTC allready underclocked the sensation.. and people are underclocking it even more (stock is 1.5) (htc clocked it (1.2) and people are clocked at (1.0 or even lower)

i dont know yet if this is 100% true but whats the deal to clock the cpu back to 1.5ghz? if its not working for you clock it back.

my setup now is

bricked 1.6b1 with miui 1.11.18

clocked at 192-1.78 and screen of to 192 - 864

screen brightness in +_ 1/3 of the bar

wifi always on but when i go away i turn it off

using fauxclock 0.75

im getting.

slight usage 20-25h

moderate 10-13h

heavy usage 7-8h

slight usage is for me

checking mail a few times

make some calls

check XDA a few times

and texting like 20-40 times

mostly screen off

heavy usage is like

playing a lot of games (NOVA 2 and Worldwar)

lisening to music alot Like 2-3h

check XDA all the time

and call and text a lot

i hope you guys see something new in this thread

and if not BUT you got something else, tell me and i will test it and update the thread
