Pitty I didn't do a screenshot of my usage like you did to compare... will try to do it tomorrow if I don't forget, now I'm almost charged again.

From what I see in you screenshot, your phone seems to be awake a lot ... is that normal ? I think mine's in deep sleep a lot more, but I'd need to check to be perfectly sure.

Screentime isn't that much more than I had today for example, I'd say somewhere around 2 to 2 1/2 hours if I add it up compared to ~2 hours for me in a similar time lapse of ~9 hours. I did have ~17% more juice left.

But of course you have constant WiFi on and I noticed your network signal isn't as good as mine, that would draw more juice, emiting at higher power and searching for a network a lot more. I'd say that my be the biggest difference.

Battery life will clearly be depending on the use we make of our phone, and everyone's different ;)

From my observation, I went from ARHD and faux kernel to VI and faux kernel at same SetCPU patterns and same APPs, I am getting home after ~10hours on battery and find myself with ~20% more juice in the battery left on VI compared to ARHD.

So I think AOSP stuff, or stripped Sense I you prefer, is helping quite a lot. I kept my config identical when I switched to observe the effect of the Senseless compared to Sense, and it made a huge difference for me !

[HTC Sensation] Metalshadowx2:
I. Been wondering that too. Would awake meaning the background sleep? Cause I had very poor battery life on this room before I flashed bricked. It was dying quick. But fyi my phone died at 11 hours and 5 mins and that was only cause I played a game till it. Died.. So I. Don't know.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Well deep sleep will preserve the battery extremely. Haven't had an issue on the Sensation so far, but on the HD2 I had sometimes a wakelock (keeps the device awake), difference was a standby drain of ~60mA/h vs only ~5mA/h in deep sleep ! Do the math, that is 30x more drain in standby :(

If you haven't installed it already, install BatteryMonitor(Pro) (by the dev of SystemTunerPro) and BetterBatteryStats (available free on xda). The first will allow you to assess your drain in standby, the letter what is keeping your device awake.

Hope this helps !

Phone keeps restarting when in various apps like ebay n such. Anyone else having this problem?? Should i re flash rom??

sent from my virtuous inquisition/bricked kernal powered sensation 4G with beats
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
You might test the following :

1) Do a NANDROID backup

2) Superwipe

3) Flash VI (stock without any change) and do a first boot (Google account etc.)

4) Install some of the apps that cause a reboot

Test if it still reboots ... If it does, then good question ?? (I don't have the problem, so no clue what could be causing it)

If it's working fine, you could :

5) Flash Bricked kernel

Test, if it reboots, might be a kernel problem (try a different one, but I don't think this will be the case), if it works, you could :

6) Configure the kernel as you used to (if you use sth like SetCPU, else skip this)

Test, if it reboots, it's sth in these settings, else ... good question ?

And eventually :

7) Superwipe

8) Restore the NANDROID backup you did in step 1) to get back to your current setup

9) If you found the culprit (kernel, settings), apply the changes according to your findings

NB: If it works on the clean install, and in your current setup you have flashed mods, reflash the ROM (without superwipe) to remove the mods (and the kernel). If it doesn't help, you still have the NANDROID you did in step 1) to get back to where you are now.

Hope this helps...

You will at least rule out the apps, the kernel and the ROM, so if it works on a clean install and not in yours, it can only be a Mod or other APPs causing the issue.

If it reboots even on a clean install, well what's left could be your phone's hardware :(

How do you get good battery life ligne that? Cant believe after 9 hours you get 71%
[HTC Sensation] Arie-:
His screen almost never was on. Do you see how steep the drops are when his screen actually is on. There's nothing you can do about that, lighting the screen just is a major battery drainer.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Yep, as I said, that is with

light use

. But on the other hand, when my screen is on, my CPU is OCed to 1.72GHz and 2D GPU is OCed to 228MHz, so that will drain the battery way more. There could be more saving by keeping those frq. down... But I want responsiveness when I use my Sensation, and like this it's really extremely snappy.

What is important is to keep the device in deep sleep when the screen is off, that will save a lot of juice, when speed is of no importance.

On the other Hand, on a similar config on a Sense ROM (used ARHD before, which I found to be rather good) was draining a hell of a lot more, and with similar use I would have had easily 20% less juice left, so having made the ROM Sense-less is helping, I guess.

Screen accounts for around 50% of the juice drained, so yes you're absolutely right, it's a major drainer :(

JP.
[HTC Sensation] walle4893:
Yes, I couldn't agree more.
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Here's the usage over the day, so you can assess how little / much I used the phone (it was really little today !) :

Screentime is excessively most "expensive" as stated by several of us before...

[HTC Sensation] cashman0712:
I'm guessing that you need the phone to go through several charge cycles before the battery settles down, because I'm getting something weird. I rebooted my phone while it was at 54% and charging, and then after reboot I had 70%. Please tell me if that's normal, I am new to installing ROMs on my phone. Thanks! :)

Yeah, thats normal. that happens to my phone all the time. Just use it for a few minutes, the 70% should go down to 54% after some light use.

Yes, can confirm that, battery reporting on the Sensation is kind of crappy, on reboot you get a few % more, but they go down rather quickly again, so you should be at the correct level again after a little time.

But to get good battery life you most definately need to give a ROM a few cycles (I mean full cycles, like a full charge overnight, then drain to 5% then full charge, drain to 5% etc.), can't exactly tell you why (guess calibration), but that is really normal, and has really a big impact on the Sensation, way more then it had on my HD2.

After that, once it's settled, you can charge whenever and however you want, it should be fine.

But if it's not fine after say 3-5 cycles, you need to start looking for a drain culprit, because it's not normal then.

JP.
[HTC Sensation] David78130:
300th Thank..
[HTC Sensation] Arie-:
For a quick explanation, I usually use BetterBatteryStats this way. Make sure your ROM is fully charged, then, before going to sleep disconnect the charger don't use your phone. In the morning immediately when you have turned on the screen, go to BetterBatteryStats and find the wake lock item. Look at any suspicious apps that obtained a wake lock and through that used CPU cycles.
[HTC Sensation] MrC85:
Thanks for this :)

I have setup the swap partition, flashed the mod and flashed your modded kernel. Now System Tuner is reporting my sdcards IO Scheduler as cfq but the cache size is 0, is this correct? Or do I need to change the cache size?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Cache size 0 is not good, I'd recommend at least 2048... Try to use System Tuner to set it 'on boot complete'. I'm afraid the init.post_boot.sh tries to set it before the sd card is ready... Will have to give a look at that, haven't changed the file yet...

I've been using ARHD before starting to use VI. My radio is 11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M (ARHD default), is this stable and functional or do I need to flash another radio ?

It depends entirely on your location and network provider. It's not going to cause any problems with the ROM, and if you have good reception with that radio then keep it.

I agree, if it's been working for you on ARHD, it will do so on VI (works that way for me).

Here is the stats you asked for, Im gonna back this current rom Im on and try virtuous again. But here are the things that I wanna keep.

-Updated graphics driver

-Dolby mobile sound enhancement

-Updated HQ Camera

-xLOUD Sound Engine

Since this rom is built on sense I should be able to get that right?
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
How long did you unplug your phone before you made these screen shots, about 1 hour ? Your media process is keeping the device awake for 54 mins, were you listening to music or was the phone left along in standby ?

NB: For a standby drain test, you should keep the phone in standby doing nothing.

Updated Adreno drivers work, I'm using them since day 1 on this ROM, HQ camera as well, but you need to use the version for this ROM (available on the camera thread).

For the sound stuff, no idea, I just use PowerAmp without anything else, and am happy with it.

Hello,

After months of using this rom i currently have a weird problem:

When i have mobile data connected and i need a GPS lock, my mobile connection gets disconnected, then GPS gets a lock and the mobile data comes back up (like 5 mins no internet on mobile).

Very annoying when using navigation or other gps app.

Cant find the answer, and thinking of doing a clean install.

Unless anyone can help me with this?

Also i would like to know, i see on forums a driver update for Adreno220, is it included in this ROM or do i have to install it myselfe?

Also ive tryed Chainfire, is that even handy with this rom?

I feel like my battery drain with chainfire installed is much much higher then without.

What do you guys recommend as kernel? (stock with rom or different one? and why?)

Thanks alot! :)
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Sorry, can't say, I very seldomly use the GPS, would have to check...

It is not included, you need to flash the mod. I'd recommend to look for 2.18 v2 (which fixes the problem on 2.18 with Instagram and skype).

Sorry, don't use it, can't help on this.

I would recommend using faux's 007u (don't use 007u r2 on VI), it's snappy but with very good standby battery drain. It certainly isn't a hardcore performance kernel, rather an excellent mixed performance / battery life kernel.

[HTC Sensation] soza971:
Why he can't use version 007u r2 of kernel???

Sent From My Sensation XE
[HTC Sensation] Yank555:
Because in 007u r2 the init.post_boot.sh will execute the init.d scripts, and VI also will, so the scripts get executed twice... If it's not an issue, ok, but the kernel (zImage) is the same.

I use JuiceDefender, so WiFi is switched off and enable only once every 15 minutes, but have bluetooth on all the time (though not connected). This is more or less comparable to your second test.

Mine stays at 100% for some time before it starts to drop. On light use (20 mins. surfing, plus 5h standby) I will be at around 90%, so I find yours to draw a little too much juice for an overnight standby...

Have you given faux007u kernel a try ?

[HTC Sensation] boomboomer:
With 3G on you should see a drop of 2 or 3% per hour, depending on the signal strength. If the battery history details shows red or yellow in the mobile network signal then this will increase battery drain x2 or x4.

Also on the history details check for wake locks, if the phone is often waking up while the screen is off then you have an app or process that is preventing the phone from sleeping.

My phone is left in standby all night, but with wifi, 3G and Bluetooth all off. It wakes up once in seven hours, at midnight, and the battery remains at the same percentage - it doesn't drop even 1%.

[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
In answer to your first question, you can choose for it to be enabled or disabled while you install socali's 'service pack'. The majority of us prefer the screen to actually be locked when on the lockscreen, hence why it's probably been disabled by default now.

You should be able to do better than that on VI, I think. At what clock speed do you run the CPU / GPU ?

Keep us posted, it's an interesting comparson ! But remember to give it a few cycles before drawing a conclusion.

If it's not too much trouble, could you first test on stock VI kernel, and then with faux's 007u ? I'd expect faux to give better battery life.

I'll bet I could use a Linux interface to gain improbability drive compatibility with an overclocked HTC Sensation running ICS ASOP 4.0.6. I would probably have to bugger with the radio a bit. But once the bugs were worked out, the very thought of having a fully operable, (or even occasionally operable), Improbability Phone™ make me a bit tumescent.
