The battery on my sensation started only lasting 4-6 hours without much usage, so I got currentwidget and betterbatterystats to try and find a solution, cw showed phone is using between 300-800ma all the time, only thing I could find was alarmmanager had alot of wakelocks since charge (10,000), with so many apps on my phone I decided to wipe to start fresh and put on Android Revolution HD 3.0.4 last night and just a few battery monitoring apps.
I left it plugged in overnight and deleted battery stats file this morning. It's been unplugged for a couple of hours now and it still uses 200-400ma and I've noticed a process "RILJ Dialer" has 1500 wakelocks already and alarmmanager 460.

This is a graph of ma usage while my phone is charging at night, it's like this every night, before and after the new ROM, and once the screen turns on the day is just full of erratic lines like at the end. And the battery voltage at 100% doesn't stay at 4.2, it will go down to 3.9 and come back up to 4.1 again, acts weird.
Should I try wiping again? Could the battery be faulty? I'm a bit stuck atm. I can post more logs if needed.

I'm thinking I might wipe and try again.
I would try a complete wipe then flash the full-wipe.zip then fix permissions after you flash your ROM but before you reboot, and don't restore any backed up data through tit backup etc.

TEXAS.
It is all about your sync time I had the same problem use HTC mail and set the phone to sync every 4 hours. sync you contacts once and them turn off the google sync that way your phone is not constantly syncing I am getting 4% per hour now I unplugged my phone at 3:45 I still have 35% at 8pm if you have a memory manager turn it Off use elixer to see what the phone is doing after 12 hours. when you flash a rom do not let the phone sync just go to home without signing in and the start syncing only what you want. my current mA draw at the highest 366mA I saw that at the same time my mail synced my lowest is 68mA

Thanks for the help, problem seems fixed sort of, still high wakelocks and minimum 200ma usage, but battery is lasting now, so far its been off charge 11 hours and only at 65% :D
