[Q] My HTC Sensation Keeps Shutting Down

Hi - my HTC Sensation phone keeps shutting down on it's own randomly.
By shut down I mean screen goes blank, it powers down, only way to start again is to take out the battery and reinsert.
I am using stock battery that came with the phone.
It's happened 6-7 times in like 2 weeks. I can't determine what is causing it, I did notice it was twice when i used the camera and once skype.
The temperate in battery monitor widget appear normal, no like sudden jump that would indicate the shut down.
It is running 2.3.4 with Android revolution Rom.
Any help/assistance would be appreciated.
Lastly, for HTC repairs, what do they require, store receipt,etc.?

maybe this is a rom issue or maybe the kernel you are using...try another rom and see if it happens again...this is not hardware problem...

Try a new kernel first before reflashing rom. Also look at voltage levels, of volts are set too low this can happen.

Silly question, have you tried the rom without flashing kenels? Meaning use the one bundled in the rom.

To be honest im not sure how to do that, i just followed the thread and installed the rom as mentioned in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
I did just revert back to 1.2ghz right now to see if that makes a difference, the rom i was on had the cpu set to 1.5ghz

Isn't ARHD a sense based rom? I use faux's kernel and he states that it is for AOSP/CM roms only. Could that be the issue?
Edit: My bad, forgot that faux develops the kernel for arhd as well. I had a similar issue when I tried to upgrade my radio to the newest from the same one you are using. Flashing back stopped the black screens.

I think I read in that thread that if people are having trouble with the overclock, to lower to 1ghz. But report back if your way works or not. GL

I have been having some random shut downs as well lately. I've been running the last insertcoin GB rom. It started as an occasional shut down but recently became very frequent. I decided to superwipe and flash the lastest android revolution gb rom and during the initial boot up it shut down and then 2 more times before I was able to finish logging in to my gmail account to complete the phone's setup. It's now started up and hasn't shut down in the last 15 minutes or so but I'm wondering what is causing it. I had stock kernel with insertcoin's rom and I selected the 1.5 kernel during the install of ARHD. I also flashed the recommended radio for the ARHD rom before installing it.

I would like to find a solution for this too because I have been dealing with this for a long time. I have tried many ROMS both ICS and GB and many different kernels and still have problems. The problem seems to go away with aosp ROMS for me though:/
EDIT: And the most of the time it happens if not all the time the batteryis below at least 50% and starts to really get crazy after the 20% and 10%

I am freaking so frustrated with this phone.
I went back to normal 1.2ghz, but now a few days later battery is well at 50%, it still shuts down.
#@$#@[email protected]#
Anyone have a solution here? Is there a damn log or trace that can be run to identify why it shuts down on itself.

this acording to what i read would fix the reading of the battery, should make it more accurate i would have 20% when i said 50 btw download an app called elixer and monitor or battery

i have battery monitor widget running and it shows battery at more than half
im guessing this is hardware issue

Random shutdowns

So I've been running Elegancia Blitz 2.5.0 for almost a week. The first couple days, it was fantastic and I had no complaints. However, over the past two days, it's restarted at least 8 times and it's extremely frustrating. I thought it was overheating before but now it's just turning off even when it's not being used excessively. Is this a result of the new 3.33 firmware? Is there any way to solve this?

Alright, so I've been using the new Faux kernel for a few days, and I thought it was perfect until I got a random shutdown this morning . It also killed my battery from 96% to 16% although I've been using it ever since and the battery level has not dropped below 16% so I believe it's inaccurate. Hopefully this will be the last time.

you should try Bricked..i tried using sebastians but it wasn't the best experience, and faux didn't cut it either. lol

Bricked is a great kernel.are you sure your battery is not going bad? With a drain the size you had I would suspect that perhaps you need another battery ? If the stats keep draining quickly like that I'd look into perhaps buying another battery . I use a Anker long lasting battery and its been great . Sometimes when you keep getting a massive fast drain it is the battery causing it. Once you get your kernel squared away keep a eye on the battery for massive fast drain if it continues to do it, like 96% to 16% in an hour then I'd look into another battery also. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Ok, didn't know this...
But in the Description the Author says "Fast Stable - And Battery Optimizied"
In 3h 40min it eated about 6 percent... It means theoretically that one Charge hold 61h ca. 2 1/2 days.... It is normal ?

you could try flashing the new tweaked kernel 3, see if it helps, but all sense 4 roms I tried untill now had disappointing battery life, It does get better after a few days of usage but still not great

and where can i find the tweaked Kernel 3 ?

using nik rom for 2 days , and i can confirm that it's battery killer...but all the things are working very well, only bugg i found was a camre zoom, when i do that , camera is force closing ,and i can't turn it on , unless i reboot the phone..

I'am thinking about to flash back to Stock ROM ....
Cause 1 day for a full batterey is very bad, with the original ROM i easily made 2-3 days

Ur concept is fairly false.
Battery life span depends on the usage or screen on. I can use my phone for a 3 hours from 100% to 20% in the span of half a day, a full day or even drag to 2 days. Damn if I leave it alone I can even drag it to 3 or 4 days.

ViperS Problem

Just installed ViperS, latest version, love the rom but battery is really bad. Going through setup and using the screen on I'm losing about 2% a minute. Is this normal for the first couple of hours? Is there a fix?

It's actually getting worse now, just lost 5% in 2 mins, any help guys? Need my phone fully working for work tomorrow.

If you can, flash Revelation 1.0.2 rom, great battery life.

Don't want to flash another rom, i flashed this for android 4.1 and sense 4.

Revelation is Android 4.1 and sense 4 too

I still just want the battery issues fixed on this rom.

Battery stats gets messed up after a fresh rom flash. Give it time and couple of full recharge cycles to get stable. Drain full Battery and charge it again to 100%. ViperS has a great battery life. Don't worry your phone battery will last normal. Just battery stats gets weird.

Are you sure? I need my battery to be fully working tomorrow and at the moment 1% per minute with low brightness is really awful. Should I flash Revelation instead?

[Q] HTC Sensation XE shutdown.

Hello XDA users,
I have been Using the HTC Sensation XE for about 7 months now. But im having some issue's with it.
My phone randomly reboots at calls, typing text and taking photo's. Also the phone's gets quite hot. I looked up the problem and found out that the battery is the problem. and with some more reseach i found that its a common issue with the sock battery so i replaced it for the ANKER 1900mAh LI-ION BATTERY. After replacing the stock battery with the ANKER battery that issue has been solved. But my phone still gets quite hot once its in its rebooting loop. The phone reboots it lets my fill in my PIN-Code and after a minute it reboots again. once this has happened a few times i started to notice the phone is getting quite hot behind my Micro SD CARD.
Do you guys have any idea's what the issue could be?

do you have overclocked too much?
also those rebooting loops happened only once or do you have them frequently?
if it happened once then just switch off the device and let it cool for 10 minutes
then switch it on again

I did not overlock it. its underlocked once my screen goes of to save battery life. and when it gets stuck inside the boot loops sometimes i have them a few times a day and other times i dont have them for a week so it seems kinda random to me. and mostly when i leave the phone off for 10 min (battery fully taken out like in the picture) it solves the loop.
Could it be a software issue?

if you want flash the stock rom from recovery(link in my signature)
otherwise flash ARHD ROM which is the closest one to ics stock
if you want to upgrade to jb with sense go for viperS ROM 5.0.0:good:
but it should be better to use some of them in your own and see what suits best for you
about kernel i am satisfied with sebastianFM's kernel:good:

Sorry late responce been quite busy
but i am gona try the ARHD Rom if i have some spare time to mess around with my phone.
and today i have made plenty of phone calls and been using whatsapp the whole day and my phone dident reboot once.
