[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
tamp down the joy please

Seriously, you all sicken me. enough with the merriment! I am getting creamed. my battery life is horrendous. I place no blame on the marvelous chefs or the kind kernel makers. I may just be the odd man out. I have been reading through this thread and while everyone is eating gumdrops and farting Skittles my battery was hemorrhaging. Exhibit a:

From 3 - 4:30 I read through a majority of this thread. the phone was OFF. no bluetooth, no wifi, no nothing.

I lost 25% battery

?!!?? Couple this with all the glee and joy had to read while the air was being let out of my phone. I was not a happy camper. I have a couple of battery apps but nothing is telling me exactly what is eating up the charge so I can address it.

when I traditionally use my phone, I use it. Other than podcasts, which does not require the screen to be on, its either the internet, mms messages, Pulse news or movies. the screen, even at 70% brightness KILLS the battery. My battery stats has the screen on at around 70-80%. there is no way you are pulling a day with that. (well maybe you are if you are not using MY phone :mad:). IMO anything under 45% is going to let your phone last a long time. I am not poo pooing people's stats, but I thoroughly enjoy my smartphone and its features and know that when I use it I can expect to have to charge it earlier than most users.

Dude, I was geeked when I read your initial post. I followed your instructions to the letter yesterday and I am still getting these results. I am not blaming you and I do not doubt your method. I am just scratching my head (hard) at these crazy drains. to make matters worse I am using the Sebastian kernel that came as an option AND -

I have the 1900 anker battery installed

. Therefore you KNOW I am a bit bitter as I read how festive my fellow Elegancia brethren (and sisteren?!?) are rejoicing as I sit in the house and practice the tuba.

If I have to flash the bricked kernel I will, but I would like to know what your experience is on the new kernel or if you have any ideas how I can mimic your success. thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide!

ps - it is now 5:17 as I am finishing this reply. my battery is now at 41%. it was off the whole time. Jimminy Christmas!HELP! lol
