just wondered if anyone has had any luck with the likes of 3rd party batteries rated @2000+ ?
was looking thru the bay, but a lot of f/b keeps saying they are worse than stock

has anyone tried Anker batteries for HTC Sensation on XL? does it fit perfectly? is it worthed getting an upgrade?

Call me old fashioned or lame but Im running stock and with a heavy amount of use and barely have any drain on the battery at all? the stock battery is 9000!!!!! ok its 1600mAh but thats enough for moi.
Didnt HTC say they were focussing on bettery battery life with newer models/newer ROMs?

I bought a ankler battery and fitted it earlier, will let you know how it goes tomorrow.

oh also u might want to also clear battery stats maybe that would fix the 89% thingy?

[HLI-APX515CSL] 1950mAh battery was announced compatible for Sensation XL by Mugen Power

I dont know what happend and I dont want to risk it again. It just got stuck in boot loop and I had no idea why

Anker
Ordered 2 Anker batteries (1900mAh, Sensation compatible). They work fine on the Sensation, Sensation XL and EVO 3D. Happy days

Anyone have any idea how good is the mugen 1950 mAh I want to order one but I need some feedback! From some one already using it of course Thanks

theres a huge thread in regards to 1950 mah mugen vs 1900 mah anker somewhere in xda... it seems that people are saying that they are slightly better than anker even though they are both 1750mah battery in the inside... but for that kind of price i went straight to anker with no 2nd thoughts lol... i rather buy 2 ankers for 40 bucks than 1 mugen so at least i have 2 spares when i go on holidays =D

Mines quite happily using a 1730ah from a standard sensation at the moment. I think i need to hard reset it though, as it seems only to charge to approx 89%, and i know it did used to work all the way to 100.
meh.

Welcome to the club. I stuck in a 1900mAh Anker and it only charges up to 89% as well. What ROM are you on?

And further to that, just grabbed the battery from the evo and it's just popped up to 91%. I'll see if it goes all the way up.
I did notice however, that while the sensation and evo batteries have the same mah and model number, they are not the same.
the evo is 3.8v and 6.57Whr
The sensation is 3.7v and 6.40Whr.
The XL is 3.8v and 6.08Whr (smaller capacity)
Seems the XL might need the extra 0.1v to go all the way to 100%.
UPDATE: Yup, the evo battery charged all the way to 100%, so it looks like the 89% thing could be down to the voltage maybe....

I will stick the Anker into my EVO 3D and XL will have to do with EVO's battery, will see how that goes.
Because Anker in my old Sensation charges to 100% just fine and I read somewhere that it might be a voltage issue, Anker is limited to 4.2V and XL wants to go up to 4.3V for some reason.

Wiped it lots of times, doesn't help. It's a voltage issue. Unless some developer comes up with the workaround the 4.3V charge requirement we will be stuck.

EVO 3D 1750mAh battery charges fine in the XL. And the Anker charges fine in the EVO. Will have to go with that arrangement for now.

Hi, first welcome
And I have had the exact same issue. I clean wiped everything and I still got the same problem.
I have flashed 1.5 today so I will let you know. It hasn't happened yet so I am hopeful.
Did it start to charge after a restart? That's what mine did.
cb.de did say there was a lot of permission conflicts in the thread so it could have been down to that. We will see.

I am not having the same issues with v1.5, are you?
Or is this using 1.5?

no with v1.4. i want to try v1.5 later.

Screen died?

The screen on the wife's XL seems to have died. Everything else works, i can use adb and fastboot and pull files from the sdcard
Screen doesn't even work in hboot/fastboot
any ideas guys? how could I do a full factory reset from adb/fastboot (obviously I cant see anything on the screen to navigate menu's etc)

If it dosent work in bootloader, a factory reset will not help, as it has no effect on bootloader. It's going to need sending back for repair.

Weird phone just started working again on its own! If it happens again I think it'll have to go in for repair. Problem is that if I send it in while it's working knowing HTC they will just say no fault found :-\

It might be a loose connection between mobo and screen. Just try not to throw it about too much, see if that helps

This sounds exactly like the problem I had on my Incredible S, it would be fine, then the screen would just turn off, if you took the battery out and turned it back on again you could hear the sound, the lights came on and the vibration worked, then it'd be fine again. In the end I had to knock the top of the screen and it would work again.. Until one day I knocked it too hard and lost my temper.

Sounds exactly the same apart from the knocking bit. I tried to revive it, and no joy. So I put it down and a couple of hours later the wife picked it up and it powered on and the screen was working again. Nothing to jolt a loose connection
Oh well, will just have to see how it goes

I'm having similar problems, I think. Mine started around two weeks ago. First symptom was screen took around 3-5 mins to turn on when I unlock my phone. Then I noticed rainbow lines, especially while charging. Eventually the issues got worse and I took it in for repair. Pulled my phone out last week while they take their sweet ass time to ship a replacement screen to the Philippines.
Workaround is to NEVER turn off the screen, and do a hard reset in case it does turn off.

Weird battery problem...

My butterfly s has been fantastic in almost every aspects..
But i ve found a weird problem regarding the battery..
It can normally last for a whole day, which is really pleasing me. But if i drain it to below 15%, it drains much faster. What i mean is it can be 10% after 2min and 1% after another 2min...
Is it a software problem or a hardware one
Thanks in advance!
Edit: one thing i have missed, when i connect it to a charger, it jumps to 10% after seconds...

It's normal for Li-Pol batteries - same issue with my 901s phone. Also don't use the phone with less than 20% battery unless you really need to, as that's the critical point for the battery and if you go below that level, it shortens battery life and can degrade the battery capacity.
