Battle of the Dual Core Smartphones: HTC Sensation-SGS II-LG Optimus2x-Moto Atrix

[Sheikh]

---

I got the HTC Sensation and I am very dissappointed with the battery. It charges very slow and drains very fast. I needed to charge at least 3 times a day. Yesterday I had to drop by a PC store just to buy a micro USB cable just to I can charge this damn thing in the office. I had turn off syncing, data connections, gps. Now I can only get my email if I manually open the mail app. I can't believe how much work I have to put on this phone just to make it properly work for me.

Geez, dude you've got a very strange battery life.. most of stock rom can atleast last 15hrs a day.. however, there's an effective solution..

If your device is lucky enough to have ENG S-OFF install Mike's custom rom Pyramid-Sensation ARHD (Android Revolution HD) full wipe, calibrate the battery and viola! battery anguish solved!

My cousins Sensation (he's one of the few lucky bastard who got shipped with S-OFF when he bought in Dubai price converted to PHP 21,000) will last 10-12hrs on heavy usage (wifi+gps+gameloft HD games+friends stream+music and etc) whilst with only calls, wifi, gps (co-pilot nav) 15-20hrs .. all accurate timelog based on CurrentWidget app logfile as well as loaded with Android Assistant..

DO NOT USE any kind of task killer, juice defender or green power it will drain your battery worst coz they run heavily on the background .. check xda's forum for your perusal..

I'm waiting for the Sensation to be officially S-OFF and i'll buy that beast!

Grabeha sad anang 3x mag charge oi. My dhd stock/unrooted kay mo last ug approx. 3 days with 1800mah battery.

True, I concur! mora'g iyang battery maoy deperensya, mga stock rom sa akung mga kaila ok raman gamit pa gani'g co-pilot nav for 300km drive approx 5hrs driving 40% paman, brightness set Automatic..

Kung I ENG S-OFF na nimo imong DHD sobra paz 3 days na imong battery, DHD ko before akung gi baligya kay gi dak-an rako Incredible S nako karon..

Check XDA forum naay daghan chef developer ngadto, halos kada sila mag update..

sad but true.

i noticed google Maps and GPS/location is using a lot of my phone's battery.
Next is the live screen - left my phone full battery overnight and in the morning empty na battery siya.

and i cant play long enough, more than an hour di kaya.

i will buy a spare battery.

Sakto gyud. grabe mo drain og battery nya dugay kaau mo charge.

Karon naa ko lain na notice. Ang battery niya 80% since this morning and I was using my phone on the train reading my feeds and news as always. I was happy to see that my battery is still about 80% then it hit me - could it be that the battery indicator is stuck? Then I restarted my phone and I was surprised to see that the battery is almost drained already. Fffff kaau. I really want to like this phone gyud. But come on, daghan kaau og quirks/bugs.

Edit:

naa pa gyud lain - my goodness - kada restart/mount/unmount nako mawagtang ang icons sa akong apps stored in the SD card. I have restart HTC sense everytime.
