Hi,
I have a desire S with 2.3.3 and build 1.31.720.2, few hours back I was using it with Gtalk and suddenly it was not responding, not responding as in not able to bring it back from suspended mode. Tried to restart it but get to the HTC welcome screen and then it wont respond i get the HTC jingle but screen has just a backlight no display. Havent done a factory reset till now. Any clue what might have happened yes a tried with battery out also kept without battery for 10-12mins.
It is S-ON
blimey,
I assume that the battery is fully charged? As it sounds like you have a flat battery.
If not plug phone in to charge.
Otherwise, I'd try a hard reset as your next option.
Good luck
Otherwise I'm guessing that it's still well within it's initial warranty.

I finally had to go with factory reset. Good thing is after reset phone automatically reinstalls all the apps saves me a lot of work.
Well I really don't know what might have had happened but just a day before I was trying for a temp root using gingerbreak and I achieved it after that I installed a hacked version of Google navigation from xda, which worked for me... It's just a wild guess that this might have created the issue.

Hi guys,
I somehow thought that calibration of my battery should be at a very low battery level (3 percent), and after that I've got some problems with my battery.
My phone now randomly turns off, even when the battery isn't empty. Often it's possible to just turn it on again with the power button, and when it's booted, it's all normal again. But sometimes it thinks the battery is at 3% (or some other low value) while before it turned off it was on (for example) 50%. When I reboot then (by myself), my battery widget shows it's at 50% again.
I recalibrated my battery afterwards a couple of times (this time at 100% battery), but it still turns off randomly, so one good recalibration (including the full discharge) isn't really possible, because my phone turns off.
Is my battery completely dead and should I order a new one? Or maybe it's possible to use somebody's batterystats.bin file? Or is there any other fix?
Thanks in advance
I'm having this same issue. Posted in general Sensation last night but haven't gotten any replies. Hopefully someone can figure it out.
Did you flash a custom kernel? Unity v8 is doing the same thing for me during certain processes, so I went back to v7. Works like a charm

Mine have happened on stock kernels.
Nope, I've never flashed any custom kernels. If anybody knows something, please let us know
have you tried wiping your battery stats?
Either wipe stats like he said or try battery calibration. Make sure battery is fully charge if you can before using it. Link here> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16415095 or just search battery calibration on market.

i reflashed stock kernal and since then no problems at all.

Got the same probs. Using ardhd 3.0.1 with stock. Had the same problems on previous roms. Haven't gotten any replies either. I've tried wiping my battery stats when fully charged, didn't help. Wondering if I should try to revert to stock and see if it disappears.
Any of you guys hade any luck fixing this?

I just recently experienced this issue as well with stock Rom with perm root. I switched to ardHD 3.0.3 and haven't had issues yet...will report if there is anymore issues with new setup.
I went back to complete stock 3 days ago. Stock ruu and s-on. Was fine the first day and yesterday. But tonight it started up again. I'm debating if I should just buy an extended battery or go to tmobile and hope they'll exchange my phone even tho its past 30 days

hmmm...thats curious, the only time i ever experienced something even remotely close to that was when i was running stock w/ android 2.3.3, it didnt seem to like our hardware very much

So I got myself a Sensation XE at the weekend, left it saturday night, was off Sunday morning. Left it Sunday night, was off this morning.
So I'm assuming I have the same issue as you guys have been having.
Is there any way to fix it without rooting/flashing or buying a new battery?
As if I need to do any of those, I might as well just send it back for a replacement. Which I don't really want to do as it'll take days/weeks.
Thanks!
When I contacted htc about the problem they just sent a new battery. I didn't have to return the phone

You must have spoken to an agent in a good mood, the one I got told me to send it back to the service provider.
Bummer. I bought mine without a contract. I said that I tested with another battery that I borrowed from a friend and that worked fine. Try that

hey there.
I have exactly the same issues.
Tried out buying a new battery like the Anker Battery 1900mAh.
This worked absolutely fine for about 2 weeks.
But now im having the same problems again.
Now i ordered this Mugen Power 1800mAh Battery.
Hopefully resolving that problem now for good.
I will report as soon i tested the Bat for a few weeks.
holy thread necromancy batman!
Can someone please help me? My htc sensation was working fine and all of a sudden it started freezing, so I took out the battery and put it back in. Now it won't turn on or boot into Hboot. The battery is fully charged and I even tried a different battery but still nothing. I've plugged in the phone without the battery as well and still nothing, the screen does not come on at all. Does anyone have a solution?

Hey man saw your issue...
This happened to me about 3 months ago. I was watching a youtube video when suddenly my phone froze. I did the exact same thing. Pulled the battery, waited a few mins, popped it back in and nothing. If you have insurance on the device you can get it replaced. They completely replaced mine and it was s-off rooted! So you should have no problems at all!:good:
Mine has done that a couple of times. All I do is wait about 5 minutes then pull the battery, put it back in and then try to restart the phone. Sometimes it take 5 or 6 tries before it will reboot and even then sometimes all I get it the splash screen. Another hint is to have it plugged into the charger after you have put the battery back in. If the charging led is on then that means there is a very good chance the phone will boot
Hey all, i don't know if there's already a thread about this but i did a quick search and didn't really find one about my problem.
Anyways, my girlfriend has a mytouch 4g slide and it keeps freezing on her. If she's in a call, she can stay in the call but won't be able to hang up or use the screen in any way until a restart. She is completely stock. This is the second mytouch for her with the same problem. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Well when I was stock, I never had any problems like this. I have heard about people having screen freezes with regards to the call screen, however. It could easily be one of the apps that she downloaded. It might be worth it to try a factory reset if the problem is persistent. Not to mention that sounds like a pretty annoying issue.
Yeah, we tried a factory reset before and it didn't work.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Huh, I talked to her more about this issue and it seems that it only freezes during a call. She didn't realize it until I asked her specifically about it. So any way to fix this issue.

If a factory reset doesn't solve your problem, you have two options:
Root and install a custom rom (could be a stock rom problem, even though it shouldn't be)
Get it replaced under warranty
is the device completely frozen, or can she get the screen to turn on by pressing the trackpad or something? come to think of it, the sensor doesn't seem to work perfectly on my device, so sometimes when i want to hang up a call, i need to press the trackpad to get the screen to turn on. i have never had the device become totally unresponsive tho.
Well, she says the screen is on but nothing happens when she taps it. The only way so far to get her phone to work again is a battery pull.
This is already a warranty replaced phone for the same problem. I would root her phone, but she is in San Francisco and I'm not. She is also not very tech savvy so she can't do it herself.

Have her try using GO! Dailer/Contacts. I know this issue is based within the Call Out screen. But try using GO! It can also an out of Ram issue. On stock, the more widgets you use. The worse the phone gets. You'll see that HTC Logo all the time. My Uncle has this phone, and he's 100% stock. He gets freezes, and the HTC Logo screen after every app. Since the phone has the highest priority in a call, in can be using to much RAM. Then the phones doing a Rosie reboot with out the HTC scrreen.
If she wants to. Install Zeam Launcher. She won't have any Sense widgets. But it'll free up about 120Mb of Ram. Then place the call, and see if it lags.

After a warranty replacement for my old phone, I haven't had time to fight rooting and have been experiencing similar issues... Memory mgmt seems to be cause. Ive removed some apps and it has reduced issues.
On initial use of phone, I reset it, inserted a full battery and followed the general "let it set" rules for a fresh rom install. At first, all was great, everything worked perfect. But as I added apps, it grew less stable. Also seeing phone freeze when rebooting into recovery... Eek. Tried multiple sd cards, batteries, to no avail.
Gonna call for another replacement. Ugh. Wrty is up in a couple months...

I've had a couple of freezes happen to me during phone calls and I realize what the problem was. It was apps automatically downloading in the background from the Play Store. If an auto update for apps is happening and I receive a phone call at the same time my phone will become unresponsive for a few minutes.

So this GO! Dialer, would it help with the freezing issue? I don't see how using another app would help with the memory issue. Does Zeam Launcher require root?
Alright so I picked up a Sensation 6-7 months ago from my T-Mobile dealer. Ever since I picked it up, I took a break from the flashing/rooting scene.
In May/June, when the official ICS update was released, I installed it to see how it ran before I went full force into the rooting scene once again. Ever since I downloaded it, my phone will restart at random times. It's starting to become very frustrating especially when I use my phone for mostly business purposes. It ONLY started this AFTER I installed the official ICS update.
So onto the next step. What I've done soo far is as described
-tried different batteries
-formatted several SD cards, with no luck
-formatted the phone twice
-I always do hard resets at least twice a day
-done several tests on apparent rogue apps to see if there was a difference
Alright, so now I ask of my XDA family, obviously this has been a problem ever since the ICS update. I haven't done any rooting on this phone in case I DO happen to get it replaced since its still under warranty
The ultimate question is this, will rooting fix this issue FOR SURE or should I play the safe route and just get a replacement Sensation with it still being under the one year warranty? What would you guys do Im this situation? Any other suggestions to try before deciding one of these options? Don't wanna go through with the rooting if I just have to unroot it take it back to the T-Mo dealer days later.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

tried this ?
Thanks for the suggestion, but it wouldn't necessarily be a battery issue if it just started doing it once ICS was installed? Or could it have been a coincidence that it started rebooting when I did the update? Does the housing wear in after a certain time causing the battery connection to loosen?
Thanks.

I also use this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622683 (third post down) as I was in the same boat as you. I ran out of idea's to why my Sensation was always rebooting no matter what I did with countless different ROM's, Kernels etc and found that this battery_fix solved all my problems. Not had 1 reboot since Hope this helps
So just a little update. Ever since I tried the credit card trick, my phone hasn't restarted once. Roughly 2 full days. Done several things that I did before that would easily make the phone restart. Opened many apps at one time, drained the battery down to 3 percent and still no restart.
I'll keep testing this method for the next couple days but so far it seems like its been a good work around. Thankyou for pointing me in the right direction ganeshp!
