Good to know, thanks.

I contacted the Amazon vendor, LaptopMateUK, regarding the discrepancy between their claim of 1900mAh and the measured 1700mAh (and the 1700 under the sticker), and customer support replied that the 200mAh difference in capacity "is within the variable tolerance, it is acceptable".

I also have an issue with the battery, whereby when it is charging on mains, and I hold my Sensation in my hand, I occasionally get the pop-up menu asking if I want to turn off or reboot my phone. I've had this four times now, and my finger is nowhere near the on/off button. I've tested with the stock HTC battery, and I have not had this problem once. I suspect there is some kind of power leakage to the case going on, perhaps the battery is not completely insulated and since the battery presses against the back cover, and then my hand (or the pressure of my hand) completes the internal circuitry to the on/off circuitry.

The charging circuitry seems a bit iffy as well, since it can sometimes stick at 99% for an hour, and only go up to 100% when I turn off the phone.

Then there are the incorrect temperature readings (mine never reads above 25C, when it is clearly much warmer). I am concerned that if it *does* overheat (e.g. if the charging circuitry doesn't shut off) then the phone will not know to alert me to the problem.

So they lie about the capacity and that it's ISO "certificated" and the temperature does not work and there's an on/off issue with my battery... I'm not at all confident their manufacturing standards are what they should be.

All in all, I've decided not to risk my beautiful and expensive Sensation and I've plugged the stock battery back in. Instead, I'm using BetterBatteryStats to identify some battery-draining apps. Perhaps I'll get the new 1730mAh HTC battery when they release their "special edition" Sensation.

Read through the whole thread and I must admit I was rather tempted by the Anker battery... However, like sowen, I too shall wait for the official 1730mAh battery that will be in the special edition Sensation and hope that the price of it will not be too steep.

So my battery performance has plateaued after a week of usage,meaning that its finally stopped increasing in performance with each charge. I get roughly 20 hours with the anker and I'm happy!

20 hours with moderate use (everything besides GPS and gaming) was well worth the purchase.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

got 2 ankers and a wall charger for 28 bucks on amazon. Notice a decent improvement in battery life. Definitely worth the bucks

guys..should i buy anker battery or not ?

The news is that the Sensation special edition uses the same battery as is currently used in the EVO 3D... that's 1730mAh... and I've found it here at a reliable shop in the Netherlands for €30. Going to order one later today.

Incidentally, I also read that the 1.5GHz chip in the Sensation special edition is in fact exactly the same as used in the current Sensation - just underclocked to 1.2GHz in the current sensation for purposes of battery life and/or marketing. In other words, it can be safely clocked to its original 1.5GHz.

So for a small investment (€30 for the battery) and a bit of work (root+ROM), you can have the special edition for less money than it would cost you in the store :).

I would recommend you NOT buy it. Get the official 1730mAh battery sold by HTC. It will give the same battery life, PLUS the temperature will work and it isn't sold to you buy a fraudulent company. It costs about €30... a bit more, but then you pay for the quality and honesty.

Economically it's not a sound idea. You can argue ethics all you want. But at the end of the day, you will have your official OEM battery. And I will have the Anker battery + 29 cheeseburgers.

I think I came out ahead.

Keep in mind guys, 1778/1900 = 93.57%. We're dealing with China here, so just being able to have a battery like this at this price is already a steal. Well, at least, I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it.

Each time the battery dies I have to keep holding down the power button and just try to get it to turn on. Eventually it turns on, but I don't always have enough time (think ~20min). Plus, its frustrating as hell. Using stock Sensation 4G charger.

Are you on stock rom or some other rom ?

happened to me while I was on Original battery. its most likely the flashed rom that you installed.
