Sense 3.0 upgrade and eating my battery at a stupid rate...

---

Just got HTC Sense 3.0 (2.3.5) upgrade on T-Mobile...something is eating my battery like no tomorrow..was lasting a day..now with same use Im getting 4 - 6 hours.

I've checked whats syncing but it could be the blasted background sync.

Anyone else have this?

All in all the upgrade to 3.0 totally sucks. Bought me nothing of note and I don't like the new screen unlock.

So flash an older stock version? (why anyone likes OEM bloat is beyond me)

Download BetterBatteryStats and check for partial wakelocks, shut off the phone and remove the battery for a few minutes to reset the phone's fuel gauge.

You could theoretically revert if you so wished, but that may be an issue.

Hey ! solution si to Full reset or was it Hard factory reset! it fixed my problem!

it will definetly help! 4 sure!

Yes, first the factory reset and then you could think about Custom ROM's and better radio.img's

Thanks for the replies guys...will bite the bullet and factory reset first...go from there...

My advice: BetterBatteryStats and try to get the fuel gauge to recalibrate to some default state.

I've now got the former, guess Im looking for apps that are causing partial wake locks...just offending apps hogging the mill really?

The latter, whats the best way to get the fuel gauge to recalibrate...factory reset..battery removal and soft reset?

Hi, sorry to hear about you battery issue.
I also upgraded to sense 3.0 on T-mobile. I think if anything my battery is slightly better. I also find sense 3.0 better for various reasons.
I no longer keep 3g on all the time, but I get about 2days out of my phone.


I think your problem is not with sense3.0, but some application draining the battery.

I believe you just pull the battery for a while and then put it back in.
