[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
There is something to this. I noticed a pretty strong battery drain when idle as well the last 2 days.

Overall the battery life is very good. On my Anker I got 1 day, 10 hours out of my first full charge on this rom. That's with 3 hours of screen on time and about 70 minutes worth of phone calls. And that includes 30 minutes of the battery hogging Angry Birds yesterday that I played specifically to drain out the last 19% so I could do another full 0 to 100 battery charge. So the battery life on this rom is pretty freakin' good.

But I did notice a decent amount of drain while the screen was off. So I don't think you're nuts or anything for mentioning batteyr drain.

However, I think there are 2 things adding to the screen off battery drain.

1 is that it's only been a few days since the ROM came out and you always need 3-4 full charge / discharge cycles before you get a true idea of what battery life with a new ROM is like.

2 is a common issue with most Android devices, that the battery percentage is often calculated wrong in the first place. For example, I was charging yesterday while messing with settings and had to reboot. I was charged up to 40% and on reboot it was 60%. The percentage after reboot was clearly wrong. But when it reached 100% it was only really at 80%, but it stopped charging since it was 'full'. I unplugged and it quickly plumetted back to 80% over the next 4 hours with no use.

In addition to that piont, it seems to charge too fast as well. That doesn't seem like a problem, but it can be. When you charge a battery too fast, it can inflate the voltage reading. This is true of just about all batteries. If you've ever had to jump start a car you know that you can put the cables on the dead battery and it'll ramp up to 12V pretty quick. But it won't start the car for 5 or 10 more minutes of charging. It's got the voltage but not the amperage. So if you try to turn the key too early it'll just drain the battery fully again quickly. I think the same thing is happening here. The super fast charging makes the phone thing the battery is charged to the full votage and then it cuts off the charging. But it's not full. So when you start using it, it drains faster becuase it wasn't at 100% to begin with.

This is a very common issue that has plagues Android since the beginning. It's not a ROM specific thing.

This tends to even out over 3-4 full charge-dischrage cycles after a new ROM install. And then you should start seeing more stable battery life.

Also, if you've got the original stock battery, replace it. They don't last forever.

Yes. If you have the init.d file saved from one of Bruce's builds you can just copy it to this build and set the permissions properly and it'll work great on next boot.

However, I think Albino said he was going to add the init.d script to the next build so it should already be there going forward. Keep in mind though that the init.d file that comes with the next build will have whatever settings Albino put in it. So you may have to go make changes in it to get the settings you want.

But as you know that's easy enough.
