I'm a new user but I already rooted & using a custom ROM. I know there are some new users at there as well who battery life on this phone isn't how they want it to be. Are there any tips an experience Sensation user can give out?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
If you don't have a need to keep data turned on all day, don't.

Data takes about 2 seconds to initiate after you turn it on. So if you just use it to check a web page or your email during the day and aren't relying on it to give you constant email notifications or weather updates or something....leave data off until you're ready to use it.

You'll see a noticable improvement on battery life.

Also, root the phone and put a CPU governor on it that will keep the power to the CPU WAY down when it's not needed.

Getting a full day or more with moderate use on this phone isn't terrible difficult.
[HTC Sensation] stroobach:
link is in my signature
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
A) Shut off mobile data when you're not using it.

B) Be sure there aren't any rogue applications running such as "Hangin' With Friends"

C) Try another rom.

D) Try another kernel.

E) Lower your processor's clock speed, and lower it even further while the screen is off.

F) Flash an ICS rom (I've noticed an instant 15% improvement)

G) Disable some Sense components if you're using any (Titanium Backup works good for this)

H) Make sure the phone is actually going into sleep mode when it's not in use.

I) Turn off GPS when not using it.

J) Turn off autosync and just manually sync yourself.

That's basically what I can think of.

JuiceDefender is a great way to cut down the battery usage without a lot of thought. My battery usage improved 60% with no other mods.

I've also found the screen drains a large amount of the battery, try to run at the lowest brightness you can get away with.
[HTC Sensation] jkolner:
Install Custom ROM.

Disable "Phone finder", "Pocket mode" and "Flip for speaker".

Lower brightness.

Lower interval for fetch mail, update weather, Facebook.
[HTC Sensation] steve austin:
as a general rule, i have always had these enabled. how are they impacting the battery? i cans see phone finder (maybe), but the other two....?

i use ultimate juice defender myself. it claims that it is saving me 1.35 x's the battery the way i currently have it configured. However, last week it said 3.00 and i did not change anything. hmmmm....
[HTC Sensation] porcupineli:
I read many times where people say that Juice defender actually eats more than saves...I use Go Launcher's task manager and kill the apps from time to time.
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
Killing tasks doesn't help. Google "why you shouldn't use Android task managers".

ICS 4.03 definitely helps, in addition to better battery life it is very smooth compared to gingerbread sense. Think it's related to proper dual core support.
[HTC Sensation] DareDan:
I did not install any battery saver. I just enable the "Enable power efficiency" in the power section that HTC provided. That will off your Auto sync and efficiently manage your device network. I enable back the Auto sync with data always on. I manage to brake my own record with 41 hours without charging.

HTC Sensation XE
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Phone Finder require GPS to be on, battery lost there. Pocket Mode means even when the screen is off and the phone is in "sleep", the accelerometer is still being used to detect motion which is using battery while the phone is in standby. Flip for Speaker only actually affects the battery while there is an active phone call, which is barely ever, so that can be left enabled.
[HTC Sensation] Hightower24:
First step would be to root your phone. There are a lot of great apps that can be used that require root access. I like system tuner. I can control the cpu governer, cpu speeds and voltages from it. I generally make it 2-3 days between charges.
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
The most effective thing I've done was purchase the Anker battery. After that, comes using Juice Defender Ultimate, and learning how to use it effectively. It has a Mobile Data toggle widget that's really useful.

If you must keep your phone on while you're sleeping, try turning it on airplane mode as well.
[HTC Sensation] disturbedone85:
I agree with vaporstone just install ics rom for best battery life :D

:d Cant wait to start trying some off these handy tips... anyone know a good radio for Vodafone Scotland?
[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
I'm not 100% sure why, but I've seen a lot of people say this is true.

It's probably because if you enable them, your phone is constantly polling the g-sensor/accelerometer, which will no doubt use extra battery power.
[HTC Sensation] DareDan:
Yes, calls, SMS, MMS, internet(not much), games(not much), weather update every 3 hours and etc...auto sync is always on...data is always on.

I bought a 2 pack of Anker 1900mAhr batteries. Fantastic. But my original battery may have just been borked.

Also rooted and choose a custom ROM to your liking has helped too.

Anker Battery

Anker 1900 mha battery is definitely the best Battery tweak. Getting nearly two days with pretty good usage (wifi on most of the time, checking email and twitter every 15-20 minutes, and push email enabled during work hours).

Best $30 bucks I've ever spent on a two pack nonetheless
[Galaxy S I9000 General] erto90:
Ok, i started this thread to discuss about new CM9 feature: the color tuning

The feature, with build 14, has become mature and then here we can share our best settings

Remeber that screens aren't all the same so colors can varie from phone to phone, but generally there aren't much difference

Please use this thread only for CM color question

The general cm9 thread is here

All other question will be ignored

so far i'm using

Red 0.917

Green 1

Blue 0.944

red gamma 11

hi there...before i start fiddling with it..can u help me understand what each slider do?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] erto90:
First slider's series concern rgb adjustement, the second change the gamma of each color

I'm trying to understand how it works properly

With these adjustment you can mix red,green and blu and try to have best looking possible color

If you set all color t same setting would be few useless, we must try differents level to have acceptable black and white, which are the extreme opposite colors

Maybe someone can help faster than me

That's made to avoid the green bug at minimum darkness and to try to keep acceptable dark greys.

Sure it's still quite saturated but anything with more gamma turn the grey too bright...

Though I have to say it's better than Voodoo hack, perhaps because the MDNIE are disabled (they lighten the greys and turn them red on Samsung roms).

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tatsuya79:
It's a kind of filter that boosts particular colours, quite like digital vibrance on your PC video card.

I don't like this, it gives more banding and tint in the dark greys.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sokre988:
Thanks, I´ve tried all 4 modes, and the best one is UI mode :) ..I´ll see how it looks on games, movies, pics etc..

B: -28

That's for yellowish screens.

I guess mine is really yellow now as I can see a blue hue at the top of the screen on a totally white background: that's where the notification bar is, and were blue oleds are still strong as it's usually black... after just 1 year using this phone and always at half or minimum brightness it shows how this technology wears off fast. :(

Still love deep black though.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix Undone:
MiLocker is an option that gives you multiple options including ICS.

Widget locker and Golocker from the market?

That's the best I got without having to flash a random ICS theme. If you're looking for a full on theme you can search the "Themes and Apps" thread.

Good luck:D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranklin1986:
Bionix is 2.2, have to be on 2.3 or higher for mii locker. Your only option would be to code it in yourself since bionix is no longer supported
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
If your using the Go Launcher EX you could use Go Locker and download the ICS theme for it. Or you could try Widget Locker, which I believe has an ICS theme as well.

Edit: However, just a suggestion, if you're one who likes to really customize your phone (one week you love an ICS themed phone, the next a Gingerbread theme) you should look into miui. It allows you to customize everything from the status bar to the lock screen all within a themes app easily.

So I'm running an unlocked and rooted rez that I want to put clean rom 1.5 on. Thing of it is, I've never flashed a ROM on anything and am a complete newb in terms of programming anything. Could use some help.

As I understand it, I dl the zip and throw it on the SD card, and then I know I need to do a wipe and factory reset and install the zip through recovery (all of which I think I can do with ROM manager) but I don't know how to get all this done.

1) Do I need cleanflash and if so, what do I need to do with it and how?

2) How do you flash cleanROM 1.5 and not lose NFL mobile and facebook/twitter? (It says there are other files to flash before rebooting, I found them in the cleanROM zip but I don't know what to do with them)

Any help is greatly appreciated, sorry bout my kindergarten question but you gotta start somewhere
[HTC Rezound] JeramyEggs:
Here is a guide with lots of useful info. Rom Manager won't work right now because we are using a unofficial ClockworkMod recovery. I would highly suggest installing Amon RA as of right now, and nit using rom manager. This guide by Con will walk you thru what you need to do. Thank him, because though I have only been on the same phone/forum for a little while, I have come to respect what he does for us in these forums..Peace

Edit: For the apps you want to save, download titanium backup off of the market, and backup your apps. After you flash your new rom, redownload Titanium, and restore the apps you want. I would just do the app, and not the data as that can cause problems sometimes. Good Luck

[HTC Rezound] Caladus:
1) CleanFlash definitely streamlines recovery/boot flashing. Just make sure to put the boot.img and recovery.img in the same directory as the zip files.

2) After flashing CleanRom in recovery, before you reboot flash the framework zip file in the CleanRom directory on your sd card.

Sent from my newly unlocked Rezound running CleanRom 1.5/Clockwork Mod.
[HTC Rezound] biond:
Alright, well I just went ahead and gave it a shot. I flashed Clean ROM and the social networking zip and rebooted, then flashed recovery.img and boot.img with clean flash and rebooted. Does that basically cover it?

Not sure what the framework.zip file is, I didn't see it in recovery mode in the cleanrom folder, what does that file do and do I need to go through the paces again to flash it or can I just flash it now that I'm up and running?
[HTC Rezound] Caladus:
The file is called Social Networking Framework.zip and it's located in the CleanROM directory on your SD Card after you flash the CleanRom 1.5 zip. The Verizon Bloat Services zip file contains your NFL mobile and other Verizon/HTC apps.

It is recommended that you flash these files before your first reboot. So I would say, yes, reflash CleanROM and make sure to follow all the steps in the CleanROM thread.
[HTC Rezound] troy7548:
first timer

This will be my first time also installing a rom, I have unlocked the bootloader and it is left unlocked, I have rooted and installed amon ra recovery. I have downloaded the new clean rom 1.5.5 and not sure what to do next.

1)Do I have to unzip the files from my PC then put them on the sd card or leave it zipped I also need to install the Social network file also.

2)Do I have to update the boot.img if im coming from stock if so how?(tried the flashtool for aman ra and didn't work for me)

3) In the instructions under the rom thread it says install rom and reboo. will it just pop up and ask to install rom if I place it in the right folder?

Thanks for helping out a noob. Rom looks awesome.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
1. Don't unzip the zip file just place on external SD card. Look in the instructions regarding Social network file I never used it.

2. Check the instructions for sure, but I think Clean rom still uses stock kernel so it would boot and run just wouldn't get the performance tweaks Scott puts in the kernel he uses. Otherwise, yes you would flash the boot.img after the rom before you boot up the first time. It really isn't hard if you just put the boot.img in the same folder you used to unlock that contains fastboot . Open up the command prompt while phone is in fastbootusb and type fastboot flash boot boot.img and viola it will flash the kernel for you . Then just reboot phone and your done.

3. Just place the downloaded zip onto the external sd card. Reboot into recovery ..chose the wipe data factory reset to wipe , then after it's wiped choose install zip menu .. choose the external sd card then find the zip select it and confirm you want to flash and bam. If you are going to install the boot.img at this point.. go back to main menu and find the choice for developer menu .. select it and then chose reboot to bootloader.. place the boot.img in your fastboot folder you used to unlock and do the command I typed in 2. above and it will flash the kernel. Then return to recovery and reboot !

Just read the instructions and they are pretty easy. :)

Actually, I think for 1.5.5 you will need to install the boot.img so just look at the instructions to get the boot.img out of the zip and the rest of the instructions are pretty clear.

I've tried 4 cases ranging from the obscenely expensive to the acceptably cheap and their case is by far the best. Easy clip on, easy take off (though it wont ever come off by accident) and it feels/looks very nice.

Cannot recommend it enough, especially after seeing all the negative reviews for every other case in existence for the play.

HOWEVER - this was my first experience buying from Ecell and all was well and good. Unfortunately, hundreds other people have had DREADFUL experiences with them, ranging from fake sd cards to tampered/used/busted phones being delivered and even negligence towards contemporary buyer/seller code and morals.
