Total battery time isn't a good factor to base a ROM on. Screen on time is the biggest factor. Your phone will last a week if you only have 5 mins of screen on time but it may only last 3hr30 min with 3hrs 15 mins screen on time.

I regularly get 3.5-4 hours of screen on time just browsing and reading news and blogs. But if I'm playing games or downloading and playing movies then sometimes I only get 1.5-2 hours of screen on.

what gov and clock speeds are you running? check for run away apps in background?
[HTC Sensation] aamir123:
I was in the same boat try letting rom settle for a few days. Ive noticed my battery life improve with today being the first day of pretty good battery life. Im on the sept 27 test build. So if you just flashed yesterday then give it a couple days and maybe you will notice better power consumption.

I actually tried it both ways. I didn't see much of a difference.
[HTC Sensation] Wagedroid:
With build 1 video recording is fine.. make sure your not trying to record with 1080p.. 720 works all the time

Bruce, the Oct 1st build 1 is absolute butter. Super smooth and snappy. Really responsive and scrolling is the best I've had with latest updates.. I usually add build prop tweaks for responsiveness and scrolling but I can already tell that I won't have to with this release. Job well done, thank you.
[HTC Sensation] Euroman28:
How come this rom has no problem running Opera Mobile? While if I attempt to install Opera Mini when that browser looks like its having a nervous-breakdown? Webpages flickers etc in Opera Mini.

Whats the difference between those two browsers?? They are from same company?

Also to the creator of this rom.

Please Please correct the textbox message which displays "Defualt" insteed of obviously should have said "Default" :D

The first thing I do is load Juice Defender Plus. It says it gives about double the battery life, but I'd say it probably gives about 50-60% better battery life. I normally make one change to allow polling every 15 minutes by changing the profile to 'customize' and changing the frequency under the 'settings' tab to 15 minutes. The one downside of juice defender that I've experienced is that sometimes the mobile data doesn't come back on when you turn the screen on - under JB you can click on it in the notifications menu and turn it on.

I also change my screen brightness to as low as I can stand (normally about 40%) and only run bluetooth and GPS as needed. I've been experimenting with just leaving GPS on so that Google Now works better, haven't seen a huge drop in battery.

With this config I normally get 16-20 hours out of the battery (Anker 1900mah) on normal use. If I'm using the phone extensively I'll get 6-8 hours.
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
You are mixing 2 different builds.

Gnow cards

I have posted this before, but i still don't see my gnow cards appear in the notification drawer... Been a couple of days now and flashed to 01 oct build 1 in the meantime. That did't help either.

Someone said i should wait a few days for it to return, but are there no other options to try. Checked all setting to make sure cards are on, no luck. I think it is a bit weird that once you swipe a card out of the notification drawer it won't come back.

Any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] Moh Kohn:
I don't think Gnow notifications are working quite correctly, I think you are the guy that swiped seats weather notification, to get it back quicker duo some requests for weather info and it will appear more.

The average screen on time I get is 1.5 - 2 hours and that's only with texting, Facebook, and browsing. No games here.

Ugh, no data again today. It's been out for the last 8 hours+. Figures it was a day when I'm in a strange city and really needed gps to figure out where I was going.

Cpu 192-1566 ,no undervolting and no power saver apps.I'm on g+ all day,some Facebook ,xda constantly,email ,text,Google currents ,auto sync off,GPS and WiFi off,screen brightness custom lowered except when I was at the park for an hour and then it was full brightness while I was snapping pics of my daughter. No games this morning.Running Avast antivirus in background always. Stock battery 1 1/2 years old. I consider this medium to heavy use so I'm comfortable with this screen on time .

zram script

Bruce, looks like the zram script is hardcoded for 100mb size instead of looking into the app->performance->memory management setting. Will this be eventually updated to pull the setting from there?

someone has asked about where to delete the zram script, it's in /system/etc/init.d/90zram. You'll have to reboot to recovery to delete the file.
[HTC Sensation] jackkerouac:
Bruce, did you remove the latest versions? I cannot find them through your AGREE link. :confused:
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
I doubt Facebook is the problem because it's set to sync every hour. Plus, everybody else in here with amazing battery results uses it as well.. probably more than me.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Why would you have to delete elements to disable zram? There is a menu setting under performance options to change the settings or disable it. Does that menu option not work yet?
[HTC Sensation] B1aze:
Didn't see it mentioned anywhere in this thread, but for people who want the on-screen "soft buttons" to make your phone look more like the gnex and nex7, add qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 to the build.prop, reboot and you'll have it enabled. :)

I would love to see an option for this in the phone settings in future builds if possible, to quickly enable/disable it when you want.

looks cool but just seems redundant when u have hard keys on the phone. plus it just takes up more precious screen room.
[HTC Sensation] slopppy:
Apologies for starting a mini-war last night about the "small percentage" and "the ROM is stable" comments. I posted that and went straight to sleep, haha! I stand by what I said though ;)

Anyways, I'm not trying to start that discussion up again, but just wanted to throw another thanks out to Bruce for the great ROM. I've flashed 01/10 with Bruce's kernel and everything seems great so far. I'm about to go on holidays for a week so will be a good chance to give the battery life a real test by not flashing a new version of the ROM for over a week.

General battery-life observation from previous build ... stand-by battery is amazing. My phone mostly idled for about 8 hours and was at 95% (on wifi the whole time), then over the next 3 hours on 3G, I had about one hour of total screen time spread out over the 3 hours, just web browsing/facebook/twitter/xda app, and my battery was at about 65%. That was with auto-brightness on and in fairly bright light. I dunno, it does feel like it drains battery excessively with screen on, but based on those numbers and the fact the screen would have been quite high, maybe that's not so bad. I dunno ... battery life is such a difficult thing to quantify. I have the Anker 1900 btw, and custom auto-brightness levels as discussed a week or so ago on this thread.

Anyways, sorry, I'm rambling, keep up the great work Bruce, my Sensation is breathing new life because of you :)
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
I have an ot question maybe you can help me with. Why do the old world English call vacations ,holidays and what do you call holidays like Christmas and easter? Like I said ot but I remember Bruce saying that also and its bugging me not knowing lol

REMEMBER TO HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU IN ANY WAY, IT'S POLITE AND APPRECIATED.
[HTC Sensation] B1aze:
Agree but there are some people who like it. Like I said, an actual option in the settings to enable/disable would be great.
[HTC Sensation] slopppy:
haha, ok, very OT, but I will reply once and leave it at that so Bruce doesn't have to trawl through too much junk ...

Old world English? haha, that sounds quite derogatory! I'll assume no offence is meant. Well I live in Australia, Bruce is in the UK, so there are differences there as well.

But to answer your question directly, I call them holidays instead of vacations because that's what I was brought up to say. It's not really complicated. "Vacation" is a very American word I think. American TV shows/movies is the main time I hear it. Why has Australian society adopted the term "holidays", and American society adopted the term "vacation", well I feel like that's a question for someone who knows a hell of a lot more about the social structures and histories of each country to answer. Australia is a young country with strong ties to the UK, so it makes sense that we would be similar. Maybe the real question is, why did Americans start referring to it as a "vacation"?

If I leave my house to go away and stay somewhere else for a break ... that's a holiday ... Christmas is Christmas ... Easter is Easter ... I would never refer to Christmas as "the holidays" or anything other than "Christmas".

Meh, I don't have all the answers :laugh:
[HTC Sensation] FiddleGoose:
One thing I forgot to mention about my LCD screen.

This is for those of you with the AUO screen. Does your LCD have a ghosting effect? As I scroll through menus, home screens and really when anything moves on my screen, there is a very noticeable trail behind it.

Anyone else have this? Blacks and dark colors are specially noticeable.

October 1 Which build?

Which 10 1 build is everyone using? I'm inclined to go with build 1, but...?
[HTC Sensation] slopppy:
I went with Build 1. Based on comments, I think most have gone build 1 (but not all). Build 1 is Bruce's kernel and everyone knows what they're getting. Build 2 is Intervigil's kernel, and is still young and fairly experimental. Great potential, but a work in progress. Hopefully the 2 kernels will merge in the coming weeks :)

Try enabling the SmartFlash function in 4EXT's settings. Worked like a charm for me. If your device is S-ON it can't flash the kernel without SmartFlash if I'm correct. And this makes the OS crash at startup.

Hi..

Since i am flashing JB for the first time just one question. Is the Bruce kernel loaded by default in the build 1 of 1st Oct or would need to be flashed separately ?

Secondly full wipe of data card is also required ?

Thirdly any specific thing to keep in mind from upogarding from ICS such as firmware etc ??

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] bstylz911:
Found my problem.

If I ed my screen size in build to 260 no apps are compatible
[HTC Sensation] Jiggs82:
Yes Bruce's kernel is already in build 1 and using 4ext recovery format all partitions except SD card ,flash rom and jb gapps then reboot ...3.32 or 3.33 fw works fine with this rom

[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
They have merged it, the cpu boosts to 100% when you scroll but I think we might need to add a power hal to the device tree, I'm still looking into it.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
I see. I am not a dev but I don't think its CPU issue. Sense manages to he smooth when scrolling without maxing out CPU.

Thanks for your answer anyway.
[HTC Sensation] MrSoulSOng:
Haha bloody gold mate! :thumbup::D

On another note, running build 1 and loving the rom as usual Bruce! Awesome work! I must be one of the lucky ones, as the rom runs buttery smooth with not one reboot, and this is going back weeks!

Keep up the fantastic work Bruce! :thumbup:
[HTC Sensation] bruce2728:
Yes I was thinking the same thing, maybe it's something in the sense framework, now if only HTC were open sourced then we'd be able to use their code.
[HTC Sensation] remus82:
It could be the gpu too. I realised that in sense roms, when I force gpu rendering on, scrolling is way smoother than when it isn't forced on. For example, tapatalk, whatsapp and so on.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Well, its definitely in their framework. :)

If you don't mind, I'll throw a few things in, please bear with me as they might be a bit stupid.

When you have a list, for example in tapatalk, it looks like jitterness happens when posts are still loading. Once they are loaded, and you scroll down once, scrolling up and down is a lot better. Now, I have no clue how it works, but could it be that system somehow caches (put it in ram) the list and that list is too short? Ie when you scroll down, top part gets knocked out from cache so when you scroll back up it has to redo it? Then it doesn't cache list down enough to ensure smooth scrolling, so when you scroll down system has to build the list from scratch. If, and only if, I am right, there has to he a way to increase that list cache, it would result in heavier RAM usage. Which leads to another option, that it could be down to RAM management.

Anyway, I am probably talking BS here, but I'd really like to get to the bottom of this problem.

Also, scrolling inertia sucks, but that can be improved and has been done before. Certain aokp builds even had that option in Rom tools. Again, I know that someone knows how to do it but have 0 knowledge myself :)

About scrolling smoothness

I have tested every single build since the beginning.

My best scrolling experience was with 09/26 Test build with "force gpu rendering" enabled. Gov Ondemand min 192 - max 1188.

I have tested 10/01 too of course but scrolling is still not as good as 0926 Test build. Hope it helps.

Not meant to be a complaint but just giving a feedback on this amazing rom ;)

[HTC Sensation] Nemphys:
Just thinking: since some people here are reporting excellent battery life and others (like me) have a huge battery drain problem (even after a wipe and clean install, with NO 3rd party apps installed), the only reasonable explanation might be the screen.

Since all the drain problem (for me, at least) occurs with the screen on (talking about 1-2% per minute and the phone gets really hot after 5 minutes), it might be some screen driver issue (?) that eg. affects only the AUO screens (like mine) and not the ones from Sharp.

Can the people that report great battery life post the brand of their screens?

It might help narrowing down the problem
