[Q] Turning off HTC Sense... Benefits?

[D_monie3]

Ok, So I searched through some of the battery threads and no one mentioned turning off HTC sense... So does turning it off and using just a simple launcher help with battery life?

For some reason my battery is being murdered, and I haven't done anything different. I am assuming my battery may be shot, but I don't feel like buying a new one, when I will probably be getting a new phone soon. I am, however, going to use some of the pointers I found in other threads, such as system tuner to under-clock my phone.

I have considered a system reset as well, have no idea if that could help, but may be worth a try.

Might be because the widgets and apps you're using are causing the phone to be constantly on. (i.e. Facebook refreshing every 15 minutes would drain battery faster as opposed to once an hour.)

Sense could be part of your problem, but it's definitely not your biggest one. I would attribute it to something like mobile data always on or something similar.

Well I just found out that I cant underclock since my phone isnt rooted...

Shouldnt my data be on all the time? If not, what can I use to control it?

I think I am going to reset my phone, and go from there, checking everything is updating on wide intervals. Or not on at all.
