For me it's a giant issue, I managed to get 8 hours battery life on my Gentoo linux 13"/1.3Kg 3 years old laptop while I can't reach 7 hours with my phone? If I keep asking is because I love cm9 but I get better battery life with sense roms, considering there are peoples who reach 24h+ autonomy with the very same rom I think there is a plenty of space for optimizing my cm9. If it hurts you I will stop asking and try to do something on my own (surely with less results considering I'm a total android noob). I just flahed ViperS to see how many hours I can get under the same workload with a sense rom.

Optimizing is a very finicky term, as there isn't much to do when it comes to this ROM. Either you have good battery life, or you don't. It isn't you specifically that we're complaining about, its the hundred plus other posts in this thread and in most other development threads here that we have a problem with. Take a few minutes to do a thread search, there are A LOT of posts of people trying to help the trolls out, such as isolating any potential drainage issues with BetterBatteryStats.

I'll be honest, I have been typing this whole message out on my device and I STILL have full battery. Battery life varies greatly across devices. Sensations may be nearly identical across manufacturing (save for the touch panel ;)) but on a hardware level, every device will behave differently in different scenarios, and device usage also varies across users.

On battery life, it drains super quickly with Bluetooth on, but otherwise I normally get about 12 hours.

On a separate issue, every nightly for the last week is causing an issue with mounting the SD card on my PC. If I revert back to RC1 it's fine...but otherwise, on a any recent nightly, when I pull the notification window down and touch on "Turn on USB storage", I'm getting "System UI has stopped" and then the notification window disappears and the SD doesn't mount. I did notice that the option to "Turn on USB storage" has a note to the right of it, but I can't see it all...it reads, "There is a problem using your SD card for the USB ma..[" Again, if I restore to June 10th version, everything works fine...just the nightlies...that I'd like to keep using if possible =) Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers.

Yep, I was right about this being a broken record! Everyone is still going on about battery life! It has been discussed a few hundred times, try searching this thread, I'm sure you'll find a few tips and a lot more people whining about the same thing. :rolleyes:

The solution to stop the whining is to fix the wakelock issue.

Try mounting your card in recovery mode. Not the greatest workaround, but it does help.

My phones been on for 2 hours and I still have 100 percent. I have an hour drive ahead of me and I'll listen to music and it will maybe be down to 95%

My suggestion: turn screen brightness down.

I decided to give cm9 another chance, this time I installer opensensation nightly 23/07/2012 instead of cm9-rc2 and I turned bluetooth off (even if I need it for my car's handsfree kit). I don't know what did the trick but battery life GREATELY improved, after 3 hours battery is 85% now, yesterday it was 1% after only 4 hours! It isn't still as good as sense but at least it's decent now :D

I see lots of wakelocks from msm_serial_hs_dma, wasn't this issue fixed? BetterBatteryStats screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lc944w8w8xx9qvp/2012-07-23 18.34.29.png

Since the OP doesn't seem to give a **** about the battery issues i've gone ahead and installed a different ROM as per OP's recommendation. If anyone is still having battery issues with this ROM I suggest you try out the superior HyperNonSense-v3.3.

It has significantly less garbage apps (as in none) installed than this one and the battery life is simply amazing, with light use i've gotten 4 days out of my Sensation so far and it's on 58%. If this was this ROM it would have been dead within 38-40 hours.

^^Seriously you need to post this. . . No one cares what ROM you decided to use. Rave about HyperNonSense in their forum.

Vorbeth and Tamcore: Thanks as always for your work and responsiveness.

Though my battery life ain't all that great either, I have another issue: the notification led is behaving irregular. Sometimes it blinks, sometimes it doesn't. Not really handy.

People do understand this ROM is CM9 with fixes and nothing more, right? Vorbeth isn't here to provide daily updates or to cater to your need. The battery life you get is essentially out of his control since he syncs so much from the CM repos. There's no one here to get angry at, no one owes you anything because your phone only lasts 12 hours.

If you haven't doing a clean install in a while, I would try that. In my months of using this ROM, my led notifications has never been a problem.

Opensensation has working 1080p videos, cm9 doesn't. Also I get terrible battery life with cm9, opensensation is much better now (but not as good as sense roms). I know the differences are minimal but that's what I experienced...

using google+ hangouts crashes for me. I tried the latest nightlies of opensensation. i tried the cm9 rc2 and the latest cm9 nightly.

i would guess its the camera? attached a logcat for reference.

anyone got similar problems?

In the last couple weeks, i tried many roms (Viper, AR HD, SmartDroid, ExtremeSensationPower, virtuous inquisition and other...) but didnt liked them as much as openSensation rom. I just love this rom. Simple, clean and very smooth! Gonna flash it again :).

    This thread is about OpenSensation and not about my kernel!!​

    Disclaimer
    Your warranty is now void.

    I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
    Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

    Known Bugs / Fixes
    • MHL doesn't works as expected
    • Bluetooth may not work perfectly on every device
    • Not compatible with SuperWipe.zip
      • Use 4EXT's full-wipe function
    • Your bug is not listed here?

    Difference between OpenSensation and CyanogenMod
    • we have 1080p, they don’t
    • we have OTA Updates, they don’t
    • we have PDroid patches included, they don’t
    • we have removed RomManger and Terminal Emulator (bloatware, still available in Play Store)

    USB-OTG
    The USB-OTG stuff is a little bit tricky. It looks like some Sensations have a self powered USB Host port which allows them to use an USB-Stick without external power. But most Sensation don’t have it.
    You need
    • USB-OTG y-cable (like this)
      • (or a normal USB-OTG cable if your attached device has it’s own power supply)
    • in case you’re using an USB-OTG y-cable you need an external power supply
      • I recommend you a mobile battery with a female USB-Port
    This ROM will mount the first partition of your attached device (fat32 & ntfs only!) to /mnt/usbdisk. If you wan’t to use more partitions/devices I recommend you to use Chainfire’s StickMount App

    Requirements
    • HTC Sensation (XE and 4G sould work, too)
    • custom Recovery (I recommend 4EXT)
    • 3.32 or 3.33 Firmware (ROM is tested with 3.32 firmware, so use 3.33 at your own risk!)
    • S-OFF (ROM should work without S-OFF, but you might need 4EXT’s SmartFlash to properly flash the boot.img)
    • SDCard

    Small update for you all.
    I'm going to be stopping working on OS. Waiting 190 minutes for each compile just to test a small fix is getting too much.

    I thank all those that previously donated, I was able to get a used q6600 PC, however that didn't last and the CPU fried. (Probably why I got it cheap was that is was on it's way out)

    I've asked TamCore if he will take over on OpenSensation.

    I have enjoyed the time I spent in doing this, however with work I don't have time to work on this during a week now, as the last few updates have shown working on it during the week, staying up while it compiles results in a few bug's.

    The repo's as they are now do suffer from audio routing and I will try to re-port the routing fix over the next few day's, but that will be my last contribution.

    In a few hours after I compile, it will be enabled & audio routing band-aided

    leaving just bluetooth, mhl, full HW acceleration & a few wakelock issues to be fixed.

    Hell, I started out on this laptop, so may as well finish on it.
    i'll stick around continuing to work on this for a while yet.

    Guess I just got that pissed off waiting one night I thought "f**k it"
