Yes. The Dilithium Crystals in your phone's Flux Capacitor are probably deteriorating. That's a common problem known to cause battery issues as it forces the positron colliders to work harder to make everything run properly.

However, if you would like a more specific answer releated to your specific phone, more details are required like which build of the ROM you are on, what Better Battery Stats shows your battery usage is and what wakelocks are present, how much screen on time do you have, and what have you been using the phone for?

Odds are looking at those details will answer your questions for you, but if not report back and we'll help. Better odds are that you are on one of the newer builds that has known wakelock issues and you just need to wake for a newer build to repair those quirks.

(I try not to get sarcastic, but when the question is "Gerenic problem with no details, please solve" there really isn't much anyone can possibly do to help. Also...bonus points to anyone who knows where I got 'positron colliders' from.)
[HTC Sensation] DugyC:
Wow! Battery Life!!

Finally, after 10hrs 20mins off charge, of which 81% deep sleep, 12% 192Mhz, 4% 918Mhz and the rest in between... the battery has dropped to 99% Yeesh!

Dunno if that is the ROM or that I uninstalled Facebook and Twitter last night, have been using the phone quite a bit though, 45mins in total of games, texts, email, browser, even made a phone call... :silly:

Big UP to Bruce!
[HTC Sensation] kharhan:
Thanks for a great ROM

At least, the RC is here :laugh: bruce2728 great job for this JB ROM for HTC Sensation, and i hope that the RC end with the random reboots.

Thanks from Spain.
[HTC Sensation] roccatkone:
That's completely true, but you can trust me, my battery life was much better in a version before 10/10.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Oddly my stats look similar, but the battery graph is still showing pretty much constant wakelocks.

That seems to be conflicting information. I mean how can there be wakelocks during deep sleep?

Is this a bug? Or do I have a misunderstanding of what 'deep sleep' means?

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

I agree about better battery life before 10/10. But I think that's some quirks of 4.1.2 still being worked out. That was expected. Remember it's only been a week since 4.1.2 was released. It'll take time to hammer out all the little oddities in it.
[HTC Sensation] TorpedoGirl:
Yes, I've the same issue
[HTC Sensation] Superpiper1972:
I've a suspicion that the reporting is incorrect.....

Pah!
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Ok took a look at the "Wreck it Ralph" trailer and I got the artifacts to show at a couple of transitional scenes. So it's there, but not a big deal IMO. Anyone know if changing the governors would help/hurt?

EDIT Went through a few governors and switched settled on "ondemand". This had the least noticeable artifacting (lol not even a word) when viewing youtube so far. CPU maxing at 1.18 and min at 384mhz
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Governors shouldn't help that. If it needs more processing power all but the powersave governor would eventually scale it up to give it what it needs.

Of course you can always change governors and test it.
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
A wakelock by itself does not mean actual (higher) CPU usage and may just be some cycles long without taking the CPU out of low-level powering mode and/or raise frequencies. So plenty of wakelocks can still be covered with minimal power consumption.

That's how I understand it till today, but I also would like to get a definite answer if wrong.
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
Intervigial is the maintainer for Sensation on CM . He's currently working on a ROM and when you see Bruce say "upstream changes" on a new release the ones specifically for pyramid are from Intervigial . Eventually you'll see an official build but it won't be this because this is Bruce's kernel . I don't think we'll see an official until vsync and the panel glitches are worked out in intervigials kernel.

Bruce has done a fine job with the sensation and this ROM and its very close to being amazing.

Thanks again kpjimmy for trying to help. Yes, I'm just being a picky bastard. I'm sure it will be resolved soon enough.
[HTC Sensation] miticogirl:
Where can I download 10/15 build ?? I can't see it in download section.
[HTC Sensation] liron1980:
Well…

This is embarrassing

Instead of downloading the latest version I have downloaded the first one.

Your question made me check, thank you for that :o
[HTC Sensation] tobitege:
Way out of my comfort zone, but the log mentions a RIL exception just before it hung up internally.

Maybe you could check your RIL being correct or if you used GetRIL, restore the ROM's default by flashing over?

I'm a windows developer, not Android, so this may be totally wrong, but an educated guess. :)
[HTC Sensation] webharsh:
I actually updated RIL using getril last night. I had the chirping issue just before updating RIL. So it doesn't seem related to RIL.

I've done all dirty flashes until now. I'll try a clean flash and see if it helps.
[HTC Sensation] rotmistr:
First of all thank you bruce for your marvelous work - the progress is awesome. The ROM is absolutely flawless for me except for one thing: hardware acceleration. In cm9 based Roms I can play almost any movie using hardware or hardware+ acceleration in the MX player with cm10 based Roms situation is different - the video plays for about 20 to 30 seconds with glitches and then goes to software decoding. The question is: it is known issue or it's just me?
[HTC Sensation] Wagedroid:
Have you done any reading or searching at all?? .

Its known.
[HTC Sensation] tellyizking:
For those with artifacts is 16bit transparency checked in settings performance options?
[HTC Sensation] Rico84:
This is my battery performance on 10-15 with stock battery.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
I'm urious if you actually used Google Maps, or if it jus tpilfered 5% of your battery for no reason?

I unistalled Google Maps entirely for that reason.
[HTC Sensation] trident167:
I'm getting artifacts on screen transitions. 16bit transparency is unchecked.
[HTC Sensation] Rico84:
Nope. That might be GNow's traffic card that I have set that uses the GMaps. But I never actually open GMaps. I just disabled it to see if that would stop the Gmaps use.
[HTC Sensation] rotmistr:
Yes I did. I wouldn't ask if I didn't. Hardware acceleration is in the "fixed" section for quite long time now so I am wondering did I miss something? So I guess there should be "minor issues" section.
[HTC Sensation] Wagedroid:
I just did a search on this thread for video playback and hw overlay and came up with multiple results and recent posts about this issue. Its the adreno drivers that need to be updated.

Wakelock

Hello,

I use this ROM since, I think, a month and I always got a wakelock from the "Event Log Service". Normally I always do a full wipe, then I install the ROM, then gapps and then a script from me which deletes some apps that I don't need and replace trebutchet with apex launcher. Also I disable all events fom gtalk with Rom Toolbox pro so that I don't get the alarm wakelock.

If you think that it could be because of that I can say you which apps I delete. I haven't got any freezes or reboot so I don't think that it make the Rom unstable.

I have attached some screenshots.

If you need more informations then please ask and sorry if I made something wrong, and I'm from Germany so my english isn't the best^^

Thanks a lot
[HTC Sensation] big fancy:
That be the one! Brain fart
[HTC Sensation] big fancy:
Here's my first results with better battery stats. Not really sure what to make of it. Anyone see a glaring problem? Lost like 12% over 7 hours of sleeping.
[HTC Sensation] Visque:
Thanks mate. I have tried that .. unfortunately, just fails for me.. which literally means I still do not get root access ...

I really wonder if it is some app that I have that is conflicting with the latest build? or something that I do not understand or failed to see? Forgive me if I do..

Cause on the 10/10 build, it's as sweet as heaven for all my root access permission apps.

I shall list the apps that is installed on my mobile that seeks root access, hopefully we can or somehow trigger or analyze what might be the problem?

1. 4ext recovery updater

2. adaway

3. es file explorer

4. getril

5. LBE security Master

6. Link2SD

7. SD-Booster

8. set DNS

9. SetCPU

10. system tuner pro

I am listing the apps as an audit trail not cause of promoting or marketing them in any ways. Thank you all for your kind input.
[HTC Sensation] webharsh:
Try installing SuperSu from Google Play.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
LBE jumps out at me on that list. Is that the same as LBE Privacy Gaurd?

If so the last time I messed with it (Which was only like a week ago) it was causing all kinds of crazy problems due to it not being updatedfor use with JB yet. If it's a different app though....disregard what I'm saying. Can't hurt to uninstall that one for a day and see if things improve though.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
I had problems getting root access back when I first came to this rom. Got it sorted, but I can't remember how now. Search for my posts in this thread to see what I wrote, I can't remember now!
[HTC Sensation] Visque:
Nice input mate. Appreciate.

The one that is currently on my phone is JB compatible.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1422479

LBE Security Manager v4.1.2224

Regardless, what you say might hold true, as the new version supports JB 4.1.1 and might have some issues with JB 4.1.2, and again 10/10 build is version 4.1.2 and LBE Security manager works like a charm.

Nevertheless I would try uninstalling it and update to 15/10 build to see if it helps.

Thanks again mate.

I have read the post you made... doesn't seems to solve my current issue though. Thanks mate for your kind input.
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
Ah yes, that's right. So in my case I can only assume titanium backup caused the problem when restoring apps.
[HTC Sensation] sanderg:
Of this list I am using 1, 2, 3 and 5. I haven't had any issue with root in the last 3 builds (I started with the build from last Friday, I think the 15/10 build is my third). LBE works fine (and if it wouldn't, I'd really wish to fix it).

Perhaps you have a 'permissions' issue (although the 'fix permissions' scripts I tried sometimes lead to more problems than they'd fix).

Can you flash a superuser zip file from recovery? See http://androidsu.com/superuser/

Otherwise I'd backup all user apps with titanium and then wipe/reinstall.
[HTC Sensation] Bern_:
Hello and thank you for your reply, I tried:

Change with a new battery and charged.

I charged my battery up to 80%

Allow the phone to charge for one night.

Charge the phone overnight without the battery.

Leave the phone without battery for a night.

All this has not solved the problem minimally.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Do you have both supersu and superuser installed? I uninstalled (see remove superuser.apk from system/app, rebooted and flashed 10/15 build) superuser and flashed the newest build.

Before doing that, I had both supersu and superuser and I couldn't get root on a few things like you. I reverted/flashed the prior build and deleted superuser and flashed the 10/15 build. Root was restored. I had the binaries not updating, so that meant for me, titanium was not getting root among a few other programs like getril.

Sorry if was already answered, but I have been away working LOL.

Battery life in last few builds

Hey all,

First i want to thank Bruce and the rest of the CM team, you pple have released yet another awsome build.

I've been on CM10 for a month or 2 now, reading this thread for every 3-4 days and updating every time i can.

I noticed since the last 3-4 updates my battery gets drained a lot quicker.

I have no idea why, i didnt change the way i use my phone.

On a normal day i only make a couple of calls, send some whatsapp msg, look at some pages on internet and my work email (exchange)... thats it.

Normally my phone lasts at least 2+ days, now in 1 day the battery is dead.

Normally my screen use was like 50-60% of the whole battery drain, with the latest builds of CM10 screen and Android OS are about the same about 30-35% (At night Android OS drains even more)

Ive added some screenshots, the first one is in the morning before work. i took the phone out of the charger before i went to bed the night before so the phone was only on for night hours (In not even 8 hours of not using my phone the battery was drained for 21%, this used to be like 6%)

The 2nd screenshot was after i finished work the same day and i didnt do a lot that day with the phone, maybe 4-5 short calls and some whatsapp msge and still the drain continued (only 39% battery left while i really didnt do a lot, most of the drain is still Android OS and not even a lot of screen)

I read this forum every few days, maybe i missed this issue, if so i appologise.

Just wanted to let every1 know i have major battery issues since last few builds and i want to fix this

My govener is on demand and i use 192 as minimal cpu and 1566 as max.

Is there anything im overlooking since a few builds ago that could drain battery that much faster ?

Any help is welcome

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] urmystlkal:
Hey man thanks. I used the GetRIL app and it was not matching so I installed the matching one. I then decided to just do the 3.33 firmware so that changed the radio hoping for better signal. Should I use the GetRIL and apply it again to fix the mismatch after I did the 3.33 firmware from the link?
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Yes, rematch it!
[HTC Sensation] Sage:
Can someone please post their detailed score for Antutu with 15/10 release? I am seeing some weird scores on RAM and CPU INT.

Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Matching the RIL might be your best bet for signal strength and what not (and it PROBABLY is)

But since ICS, it's no longer a requirement that the Radio and RIL match. (On GB it was a disaster if they didn't match, in terms of signal strength)

On ICS and JB you can try different RIL's and see which one really works best for you in your area.

The matching ones are probably the best bet, but you can experiement with it as your actual experience may vary.

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

It's not you. It's the last few builds.

The ROM was updated to Android 4.1.2 from 4.1.1. Not all of the quirks have been ironed out yet so there's a little more battery drain.

This is completely normal during a ROM's development process. There are constantly periods of increased battery drain after new additions are made to the ROM, followed by periods of great battery life when only small things are being tweaked. This cycle repeats itself several times over the course of a ROM's development.

Wait it out. Bruce knwos what he's doing and will attack the battery draining code segments like a hungry wolf seeking dinner. :cowboy:
[HTC Sensation] urmystlkal:
Thanks I did just read that about it not being as important. I guess I'll try the different ones it comes up w/ and see if one works better than the other.

And to report back on 10/15 build.

After a day or so with the build, I have gotten one random reboot. Not sure if its app related or not, which could be. I have had bluetooth issues randomly. Meaning bt wouldn't turn on at all and would have to reboot.

Otherwise, a great build for a daily driver. And I just flashed over the previous build without wiping anything.

Just thinking about some new stuff in jelly bean and wonder: If you pull down the notification bar you see some notifications enlarged and you have to swipe with two fingers to minimize or enlarge the notification.

I just installed TeslaLED when that happened to me. It keeps the LED on when the screen turns off. I hate using it and being left in the dark every 30 seconds unless I keep touching my screen.

You are totally right, i fixed the Dilithium Crystals by gently rubbing the battery against a new duracell battery. :laugh:

No serious, i really love this CM10 rom and the battery drain has been a constant 10% per hour (+-2%) since i got this rom starting with the 10-3 version. I updated to the newest the day it came out.

I am pretty sure it isnt a app that is doing al the draining, a clean install drains just as fast... I didnt mess with the cpu-settings or the scheduler, they are the "stock" settings for this ROM.

[HTC Sensation] corkythetard:
I've been on 10/15 for a full day now. Another home run!! My battery life was awesome today! Data signal was the strongest it's ever been for me at work. Usually 2-3 bars in my office and occasionally 4 in the warehouse. Today was 4 bars all day long regardless of where I was at work. Running the badass gov at 192/1566 and this bad boy flies! Keep up the awesome work Bruce!

Only quirk I have is on a rare random occasion the picture goes pixelated like it did a few builds back, but like I said it is so rare and random that I almost didn't mention it. I have all screen animation scales off and forced GPU w/ hw overlays disabled. I'm happy as a pig in sh*t regardless! :laugh:
