Hello,
I just got new sensation and when I use the power button and the restart option the phone seems to turn off and not reboot. A press of the power button is needed to start the phone.
Anyone else know of this, am I being dumb or is this a problem?
I got my Sensation yesterday and had a similar issue. My power button got progressively worse as the day went on. It seamed as if the power button was being held by itself and would bring up the power off and the reboot options any time I touched it. Then as the day went on the power button stopped working all together and I can not unlock my screen. Unless I get a call or pull the battery. Pretty disappointed in this as I never even got to take the phone out of the house before it **** the bed on me and now I have to wait till Monday to get a replacement.

how long are you waiting before manually doing it? it is a computer, it needs to shut everything off & then restart. give it a little time. if it take 2-3 minutes, then something is wrong.
if you uncheck the "fastboot" option it will not restart when you hit restart. If you keep the "fastboot" option checked it will restart

not true. just tested to be sure before replying, but my restart works with fast boot off
Uncheck fastboot then power off the device. Power the device back up verify fastboot is still unchecked then hit restart and the phone won't restart. I have verified this on my two Sensations.

Get a new phone. No reason to have to p ull battery to get it to turn of regardless if anyone else is having the issue. You paid big money for a new device that should work. Jmho.

Turning off fast boot seemed to help...Maybe something wiggy with "Fast Boot"
I've found that when you have FastBoot enabled, it takes a long time (3 mins or so) for the device to "turn off" all the way. If you wait that long, then long press the power button, it will turn right back on... Needless to say, the best option is to turn off FastBoot.
So the past couple of days ive been going into these auto reboot phases. Right as the battery makes contact with the phone it boots on. I can not get out of this auto reboot. It will not connect to the computer, just two windows beeps. If any one can help that would be great! Thank you
Check ur power button.

Alright check what now?
Lol......looks like the power button issue as u said phones switch on when u put the battery in so that means the power button is stuck in side. Press the power button rapidly (worked for someone i know)if this does not works show it to a repair Guy.

Hi,
Im the proud owner of a HTC Sensation, bought it quite cheap and for what its done its awesome.
Got my bootloader unlocked by HTC, and rooted, nothing else.
It has been working for almost 4 months like that! without any problems.
Today however i am pissed....
I was using Gmail App with Winamp playing, and when i tried to leave Gmail app the phone crashed, couldnt do anything but music kept going...
had to remove battery!
everything started good again, and i was playing music and using dolphin browser....this time i got an message that Gmail crashed.....and phone crashed after again. this time music stopped playing and only music noise continued played....only the same tone...
now phone is dead...had it without battery, SIM card and SD card for about 20 minutes, nothing, recharged it for about 2 hours...nothing, cant turn it on....POWER+ Volume up or volume down does nothing as well....if i connect to usb i get nothing detected...
anyone has some trick?...
probably will get away with warranty...will see....
Try another battery and charger first. A software problem, crash can not lead to hardware failure

Hi
Did you removed the batter before you pressed and hold volume down + power button
Remove and reinsert battery, press and hold volume down + power button until phone boots
Try charging you phone over night and check
Does the orange LED glow when you plug you phone to charger
Hit the thanks button if you find Mr helpful

phone is completely dead!
no orange light nothing...
removed battery, waited a few minutes put again, POWER + Volume up or down, nothing does anything...will try charger and battery from a friend tonight.
I also think a software crash wont kill the phone...but its strange that crashed first in Gmail app and second time also it was the Gmail APP...
But i also had the phone rooted... don't know if by some means could have corrupted the memory...
Will update later.
You will have to press and hold power and volume down button together for some time till phone boots
HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF YOU FIND ME HELPFUL

Just held it for about 5 minutes....nothing......
also seems battery has 3.9V with a multimeter...should be good , anyway will try at night with a good one.
Hi there,
Sorry but I think I finally found the right forum for this and I wanted to take one more stab before kissing this phone goodbye.
I have a Rogers Galaxy SGH-i727R. About three weeks ago, the phone started re-starting on it's own. I though maybe it was a sticky power key and had that replaced. The problem persisted. I then noticed that it was primarily upon receiving text messages that the phone would reboot. So it seemed it was a software issue. I am running the stable build of CM9.
Yesterday the phone rebooted and never got off the angry alien screen. I pulled the battery, charged it etc and still could not get it to fully boot up. I left it for over an hour. I finally decided to call it quits and re-flash the phone. Problem is, it will not boot into recovery at all. When I hold down Vol + - and Power, it jsut goes into a loop of vibrating every three seconds until I let go and then it tries a normal boot again. Once, I briefly got a screen saying I was trying to install custom software and to press volume up to do so, but before I could hit volume up, the phone cycled off.
I should also mention that the four buttons on the bottom of the screen do not work. I accidentally sliced the wires on the side of the phone when opening it up. I use a software button saver widget to access their functions. I wonder if that issue is related....
Thanks for any advice. I would like to get into recovery so I can load a new ROM or a stock ROM.
If you haven't ventured there yet in this forum I'd recommend Vincom's roundup on just about everything http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398. I don't know if it will help much in your situation but it's worth a look. Also, you may want to research usb jigs, not sure if they will work with our devices though ... research is the key word.

All I can tell you is that your problem sounds exactly like a stuck power button. I know you replaced it but all the symptoms you point out suggest stuck power button. Maybe try cleaning it again?

But if it were a stuck power button it would not stay on the loading screen indefinitely, no? If I hold down the power button while booting, it will turn the phone off.
Hold vol +- and pwr until it vibrates let go of pwr continue to hold vol +-. You were letting go of all of them at once going by your described method.

****. I am a total moron. The phone still reboots after receiving a text but I was able to boot into recovery. Thanks.
My phone has been acting weird the past couple days. It would randomly reboot but when it rebooted, I would have to hard reset it for it to completely boot up. For the past couple days it would happen a couple times a day. Today it was doing it almost every hour. I was just waiting to get home from work so I could back up the phone and wipe and then it just turned off. I couldn't get it turned back on. When I plugged it into the charger it turns on the Google logo and then reboots over and over again. When I unplug it, it shuts off. I can't even get it to boot into recovery or bootloader because it keeps rebooting every couple seconds.
Just a guess, but I think you're power button is shorting out. See what others think.

Yea I've seen it in another post. That doesn't explain why the phone keeps rebooting as soon as I plug it in. But I have noticed that for the past couple days, the power button was becoming really sensitive as in I would hit the power button to turn the screen off and then it would immediately turn the screen back on. But if its a hardware issue then there's nothing I can do but contact Google to send me a replacement.

I think as soon as you plug it in the battery gets enough charge that it boots but then the power button shorts out and it reboots

I tried tapping on the phone by the button and it turns on the phone for a little bit. Same thing if I wiggle the power button. I'm convinced that's the issue.
