screen lights up randomly

Hi all. Since updating to 2.3.5 my screen randomly lights up. The phone will be just sitting on the table, next to bed etc and the screen will light up for a few seconds and the turn off.

Not been on a stock ROM in a while, but I do remember hearing about this problem when the update rolled out. Just can’t remember if the problem was solved. Had a quick search and no joy. I'll keep looking. I have a theory though...
I had this problem once, and it was down to an app and the WiFi sleep policy. The WiFi sleep policy was set to ’15 minutes’ so the app was occasionally forcing a wake-lock to stop the WiFi from shutting off. This would also cause the screen to come on briefly. Could it be something like that? Sorry I can’t remember what the app was. Try leaving WiFi off and see if that stops it. If not successful try leaving auto-sync off. It will at least rule out or confirm something trying to force a wake-lock to sync something.
Edit: Does this do it only when on charge? Try opening up Car Dock Mode, and turning off 'Auto Launch'.

I noticed this too, but only on a Sense 3.5 ROM...Endymion (because, frankly, i didn't care much about any other Sense ROM to stay on it long enough to notice anything) ...but for me, the screen only lit up like a camera flash, just for a fraction of a second! not for a couple of seonds as you have experienced. Been on ICS betas, and RCs and currently on Reaper, but this issue never repeated itself. So far, this has happened to me only on a Sense 3.5 ROM...and my setup, sync frequency, installed apps hardly ever varies from ROM to ROM...I'm pretty consistent about how i like to use my phone.
And frankly, even when this was happening, i didn't bother much because it wasn't affecting performance or battery life... Sense is quirky, to say the least, but i've learnt to tolerate it like you would a sexy girlfriend. If it's sexy enough, it can get away with anything!!

I had this issue on the stock 2.3.3 ROM.

I had the same issue but just one time few minutes after i pluged my phone .

Same here with MIUI... Just for a 1/10 of a second...

I get this on ICS (virtuos quattro) when screen is off and charging, like half a second on and off again...

i've had this issue with pretty much every ROM, actually had it since i've had the phone. The phone lights up for a quick second. Enough for you to realise when your eyes are closed. i don't pay much attention to it anymore. But i don't think mine lasts seconds like yours. Mine was just a blank screen flashing

are you running custom roms?

Got the same problem and i know one other Person who does. Problem stopped appearing for some time and now its back worse than ever with random shutdowns even during calls. Running Stock HTC ROM not rooted or anything. Found some clues on the internet that it might be caused by a SW Update that came from HTC. Nothing for sure though. All i know is that i am seriously looking for another device at the moment. HTC and Android devices are annoying me more and more lately. No Official Updates (or they take 6 months), Compatibility Issues... The list grows longer every day. I used to love Android Phones, especially the HTC Ones but they appear to be stuck.

you have just been unlucky...i'm running custom roms and sometimes i get random reboot but now it is all ok!

send it back!
I had exactly this problem, phone kept turning off at random. Mine was totally stock, first time I sent it back they re-flashed but it started turning off again after about 2 weeks. I sent it back again, they changed the motherboard and its been working fine since then (touch wood!).

Also had random shutdowns. Got a new battery and the problem was gone. But now 4 months in on the new battery same thing starts to happen again. Beginning to thinks there's something wrong with the power management.

there is actually an issue on the power management, which is fixed with the ics update. If you can wait , you'll get an update from htc
if you cant, go ahead and flash a custom ics rom

I had the same problem before I bought a new battery and i hope it wont come back when the battery gets older. The problem was with 2G networks. If you turn the mobile network to WCDMA (3/4G) only in the settings, the phone shouldn't shut down. I hope the ICS update completely solves this

I had the same problem as well. I flashed ICS and it would still shut off. I noticed it wouldn't ever shut off if it was just sitting on my desk except one time it shut off when on my desk and someone called and my phone vibrated. Turns out the battery connection wasn't tight enough and when moved around, it would lose power. I folded a small piece of paper to make the battery fit tighter and it hasn't shut off since (about a month)

Hi all, I have gone through this problem... I have done all troubleshootings S-off S-On different roms new sim car everything even flashed by service station not helped...on solution for random shut down for me was changing motherboard and after they changed my motherboard I haven't faced single issue... get board changed.
Issues
1) random shutdown
2)while calling some shuts down
3)If it shuts down it will again shut down imd. on 2-3 attempts then start properly.
4) when screen is off and u push power button u find phone down
5) Random shut down some time imd or it will not happen for for next 8-9 hrs.
Get mother board changed.

I was experecing the same issue.
Random reboots or random shut down !
Never when my phone is charging, only when it is on battery.
But I'm trying something, the auto brigthness ! I desactivate auto brigthness, for the moment no ramdon reboots or shut down anymore, was testing 2 days now ! Perhaps try this solution !

Try to remove micro sd card,test the phone and if it does work ok change the card,that was my solution.

3 users in my office are seeing this
3 sensation users in my office are seeing this too, the UE "powers up" when you attempt to wake the screen i'm taking logcat but i'm yet to determine if the phone is powering off at some time when the screen is off or when you attempt to wake it.
i am seeing the battery stats are all over the place after it boots up.
this does not happen when it is being charged.
the logcat from my phone sometimes say a process has crashed (latest 03-06 17:06:18.995 I/ActivityManager( 321): Process com.htc.ereader.drmengine (pid 2742) has died.) but not in the majority of my logs they just appear to stop,
if anyone is proficient at logcat analysis i can share a log taken of a failure.
the 3 users in my office have:
1X S off and ICS ARHD
1X S off and ICS (trips)
1X S off GB unbranded
any help would be gratefully received
**EDIT**
having just pressed the power button to wake the screen(19:00) the phone booted again i was able to check the logcat log file and it stopped logging at 18:02 so it appears to be crashing when going into sleep or when in sleep mode rather than when the wake command is issued
also: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500966 looks like the same issue.

Same problem on HTC Sensation with ICS
Hi,
Sorry to crush your hopes for ICS solving the problem but I'm running Android Revolution 6.5.0, a custom ICS ROM, on my Sensation and I'm having the same problem. Never had it with the stock ROM, though.
Also, it's never happened when plugged-in or when the battery is full. Seems to me that it shuts down more frequently when the battery level gets lower.
Anyone experience it the same way?
Anyone solved the problem by replacing the battery?
Cheers,
Stefan

Hi
any news about this?. Is this problem caused by a hardware failure finally?
Thank you!.

Well I got my battery replaced. Worked fine for about 3 months. Now the issue is back. I think it has something to do with the power management on the phone wearing down the battery. When I plug in my charger I feel electricity in the back cover and a humming sound in my headphones. Somethings wrong with the hardware. Going to send my phone in now

I get a weird humming feeling too, like a vibration as you run your finger over the back. Whats also weird is that if im holding the phone and then someone runs their finger on my hand, they also feel the static/vibration feeling. However as soon as I put the phone down the vibration feeling goes. Its so weird, if I send the phone off I'll be phoneless for weeks!

Very simple solution
Hi guys,
Most of us (myself included) are sometimes blinded by our knowledge of custom roms to not try the most obvious fix for this finally very simple issue...
I have a park of about 20 HTC sensation on my company and had the problem on several of them (mine is running a CM9 nightly , but all the others are stock). Had the motherboard/battery replaced on some of them, tried many settings (and on my phone, different roms) but it only offered a temporary and random improvement. I found the solution on a forum and I'm ashamed I never found it earlyer as it's so simple:
Remove your back cover and place a spacer (the thickness of one or two visit cards) between the top side (right part, just opposite to the connector) border of the battery and the chassis. This will ensure that the battery presses a bit harder on the connector. Without the spacer, you may notice that the battery is in a slightly skewed position, not totally parallel with the compartiment and therefore not pressing hard enough on the connector. We never had an unexpected shutdown since then !!!

[Q] phone turning off randomly

Hi, I have searched all over this forum and Google, and tried every solution on offer, but to no avail. My last resort before condemning the phone is to see if anyone has any bright ideas.
Basically every time I flash a new ROM the phone is fine for a couple of days, then it starts switching off randomly this gets more frequent over the next couple of weeks, until it becomes unusable. I have tried different Sim cards, different sd cards, no sd card at all. Complete wipe of everything including sd card. Running with no apps and everything stock except signing into Google. I have tried sense roms and non sense based roms on ginger bread and ics. Everything works fine except for this problem. I feel it's not a hardwear problem due to it being ok for a few days after new flash.
My current ROM is the stock ruu, which is on its way to getting bad again after flashing it last weekend. I received the small update to the settings today which added the missing 3rd party app option, it hasn't switched off since then, but then it had only been a few hours, I am not hopeful!
I haven't tried a new battery as the battery life seems fine, and it turns off sometimes when sat on the desk, so not a loose connection or anything also the way it gets worse in time after a fresh install. Have tried the setting network to gsm only and other network options, but no luck.
I really hope someone can suggest something as I love this phone, but it is pretty useless to me, I use it for phone calls at work a lot and as it is have no idea if it is off or on in my pocket.
Cheers in advance for any help
Tom
Oh yeah, I bought the phone second hand so a return to get it fixed isn't really an option

Ok when you boot into the Hboot screen does it say S-off or does it still say S-on. If it still says S-on then the previous owner probably used HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader and not Revolutionary. If this is the case then click on the link in my signature that says "S-off explained". Maybe this will shed some light on things and maybe it will help you fix your issue. But do not just rule out a hardware issue as bad NAND blocks can cause this same issue sometimes.

Hi, i had the same problem and bought a new battery. Since the battery change everything is working and had no rnd turn off since then.

Cheers for the replies.
I got S-OFF on the phone, as far as I remember via revolutionary. It says Pyramid pvt ship s-off rl. With locked at the top, as far as I can tell from reading this is normal?
I really hope its not something inside the phone that I can do nothing about, would be an expensive mess for me to find myself in!
I will try ordering an ankar battery, they seem cheap, and worth it any way, if it solves my problem, then even better.
Cheers for both your replies, I will continue the hunt.

i have the same problem...but when i torn on the phone the battery are drasticaly down!
i have a S-ON Sensation with stock Gingerbread

I've got a similar problem, I'm S-ON, ICS Vodafone but it was happening before the update too.
It seems much more likely to happen for me when on lower battery levels, and something like the camera flash firing will often turn it straight off.
As mentioned above when it comes back on the battery level is way down on what it was/should be. It also seems more likely to occur after it's happened once in a day and sometimes I'll only get halfway through unlocking the phone before it turns straight off again.
It never happens while charging - pulling the battery and reinserting it after a restart seems to make it more reliable and makes the correct battery level come back up.
Seems to me like it may be a battery issue but as I'm having some other issues too I'm sending it back to HTC and going to see what they say/do, if I get it back and still have problems I'll buy an Anker.

Its a battery problem guys. Glad Im not the only one.
See my problems here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604924
But after some scouting around its a battery fault. Cant wait to order a new batt this week. Phone is driving me crazy

I got my new battery yesterday. So we shall see how it goes. Only time will tell. It will be nice to get a bit more out of the battery as a bonus. Fingers crossed, I shall keep people posted for future reference.

hit thanks If u like it ..

I had this problem but came to the conclusion that it was the SIM rather than the battery - ran the phone for a day or two without a SIM and it never shut down, then when I reinserted the SIM (and took more care to ensure it was correctly inserted) I haven't had the problem since.
Might be worth looking at?

so how i agree with u , coz i tried this 1 when my phone was shutting down 10 time an hour and it didn't shut down but the battery drain still there until i did the battery calibration thing & it's ok now..

yeah I don't think the power off thing has anything to do with battery drain, but often the battery readout will stabilise after a few charges and discharges - after resetting battery stats the readout can often be a bit erratic.

It might be.right.. but he Still have a battery drain issue he must calibrate the battery. Tucker to hit thanks

Will try the sim thing, but my battery is comletely goosed.
Tells me I have 40% and then shuts down. Restart and its saying empty

hey for those of you using ICS Rom's make sure you have updated your Firmware/Bootloader to the newest version. I was having the same problem with my phone for the last week. Would randomly shut off even if battery was 60 percent and then start into bootloop with random battery percentages shown. Someone on the Insertcoin Sense 4 thread suggested I update my Bootloader and it seems to have fixed my problem.
Link to upgrade firmware is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Make sure you download the latest one (3.32)
UPDATE: Problem hasn't been solved...just took a while for it to return. Not sure what's wrong and I'm really annoyed that I can't figure it out. Kinda disappointed that the new battery hasn't fixed your phone Tombon26, I was just about to go buy a new battery myself. Really hope someone can help with this.

So a new battery hasn't cured the problem. Will try the calibration, although I have done it before, but can't remember if it was before my problems.
I am a bit confused by the upgrading firmware because I have the official HTC ruu on my phone, which I thought was the newest of everything, and haven't rooted the phone since, so I thought this would make the phone as close to stock as possible without s-on.
As far as I can tell my battery doesn't randomly jump down after it switches off. Not sure if this is a good sign or not!
So frustrating the whole thing.

Phone randomly shuts down

Everything was fine on the phone until I tried out AOKP 4.2.2 alpha 2 a week ago, When I had the rom installed the phone would randomly shut down. I thought it was because the rom was not stable enough so I flashed CM9. On CM9 the phone would shut off every five minutes it was that bad. I then installed Miktouch 0.7 and the shutdowns for the most part stopped. The phone will shut down now and again and it always shuts down after I use youtube for 10+ minutes or use the camera for several minutes.
I tried to revert to stock and see if that fixed anything but when I boot into the bootloader it looks for PG59IMG and says no image found and nothing happens. I got the PG59IMG from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878329
Any help is appreciated.

I swear it sounds mechanical...maybe battery related. Just starting out of the blue like that and it being cross ROM and all. It should just flash that file automatically from hboot though. Are you sure you copied the file to the root of your SD card? Did you relock your bootloader with *fastboot oem lock* before running it? Sometimes it doesn't like it if the usb cable is still plugged in. (for some weird reason) If you're still S-On, did you flast the boot.img file thru adb with *fastboot flash boot boot.img* after flashing your ROM?
Oh yeah, you won't be able to flash that PG59IMG if it is newer than the hboot version listed in your bootloader right now. That is until you get S-Off with the wire trick.
Check some of that stuff out & get back to us.

I agree it sounds mechanical, most likely a bad battery.
I confronted similar behavior over the weekend and a testing with a new battery allowed me to point a finger at an older, aftermarket battery as causing the shutdowns.

Sorry for the delay in the reply - real life got in the way.
I thought it was also mechanical but the shut downs are MUCH less frequent in Miktouch than on ICS roms so I thought it may have to do partially with the software.
I'm S-off, used the revolutionary method years ago. Never issued the "fastboot oem lock" command and I've never done anything related to fastboot. The stock image was in the root of the sd card.
When the phone does shut down it doesn't matter if take out the battery or do anything else, I can't get the phone to start back up until 20 mins later or so. The phone will certainly shut down if I use the camera or use youtube so if there is a way I can grab a log or something that could help let me know

I've had very similar issues, since installing a CM 10 alpha, and now on 10.1. The first couple weeks when I first rooted/flashed CM 10 were fine, but then it started rebooting one day, and never has stopped. Stock battery, no reboots prior to that, S-On, flashed the boot.img for each rom, and it's doing this with both CM 10 and CM 10.1. Does that also sound like battery, since it's the stock battery which has always worked fine? Also, it seems heat/intensity related - if I'm playing a game, using GPS, or talking a long time, that's when it tends to happen, and then it tends to happen right at/near the lock screen for a while after that until it's cooled down (perhaps that screams battery, but since it always restarts fine/has power I would have guessed it had to do with the processor or kernel). Thanks in advance for any advice!

Could be the battery...
I agree with the other posters. I had the experience of lots of random reboots a while back when I was working my way through sverhagen's 9.1r3+ ROMs. But, it just turned out that my stock battery had given up the ghost. Swapping to one of the gold batteries fixed the problem. I tried the stock battery in the interim for a brief stint and switched back to the gold, as the stock battery still caused random reboots. So maybe its time for a battery refresher

Yeah....the little suckers are on a power trip I think.

i've been having some shut down issues for a while, on different ROMs so I don't think it's that. whenever i'm using it i don't have any issues (unless it's a known ROM thing, that's separate). even during the day when i'm not using it, it hasn't shut down or anything. the issue is that a lot of times when i wake up, i find that the phone has been shut down. i charge it overnight. so, my best guess is that i should stop doing that, maybe the battery is bad, it can't handle that for that long?
idk any ideas would be helpful. i'm considering buying a gold battery anyway

Did you try the new Battery ?
I was have random shutdown and lockup problems. The phone would lock with a blank screen and I'd have to pull the battery to get it back.
Am running SilverL's CM 10.1. I might be a coincidence, but I backed off on the aggressiveness of the CPU settings (in the performance menu) and the problem went away.
I'm currently running a min/max = 128/1242.

I'm trying not to post a new thread so I'll post my very similar problem.
I got this phone about a year ago. I put Miktouch on it and was experiencing random shut downs all the time. I believe I posted on here and I can't remember the responses. As the mytouch q kinda sucks and I want a solid phone. I gave it another attempt this time with CM 9.1.0. When I used the camera once it shut down and restarted I think. Then I got a solid few days before it started going wanky again. Today alone I've had like 5 restarts. From what I've searched around it seems the problem here is the battery? This is stock battery and I got the phone used off ebay. I think I used stock rom like a week before rooting and putting Miktouch on it.
edit: For some odd reason my background also changed. Charged the phone backup. It turned off again.

If you've flashed any ROMs here to the MyTouch Q then that's your problem. It isn't this phone. These forums are for the HTC MyTouch 4G Slide. A much more powerful phone with a different manufacturer & motherboard. If you have S-Off go to their forums, wipe...wipe...wipe & reflash one of their ROMs. You're lucky you're not bricked.

I know. I'm talking about two different phones in the same post. I bought this phone (Mytouch 4g Slide) last summer but shortly started having problems. As I didn't want to deal with it I went back to my slowly dying touchscreen on my G2. When that finally died (touchscreen) I just bought a mytouch q as I wanted a phone that worked. This was my first new phone in a long time.
I am NOT trying to install any roms for the MyTouch Q on the MT4GS or the other way around.
S-OFF should be off on the 4G slide. Pretty sure my mytouch Q is still rooted though. It sucked at running CM 9

Sorry. Somehow I got confused. That being the case, it sure does sound like some type of a hardware issue instead of a software one.

Yeah, from what I read it could be a battery problem. Going to go with this Anker battery as its the only reliable battery I can find that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
Anker Battery

Yeah I'd start with a new battery myself, either a new OEM or an anker, both are cheap on eBay. Also look for a post where me and weekends were discussing the emmc of this phone, bear in mind I have zero proof, but I got a suspicion there may be multiples they put in here and some worse than others.
If the battery won't work then I would repartition the whole dang thing, either by returning to stock and the rerooting and resoff, or by at least flashing the same bootloader on top of the one you currently have.
Just some ideas, but if you want a better idea of what's causing your issue, pull a logcat

I have a theory of whats causing it. If I extensively use the phone the battery warms up which gets to the point it shuts down. Thus if the battery is still too warm and I turn the phone on then it will just keep shutting down. Of course I can't do this until I'm home for the day as I'm out and about this weekend.
edit:
I used the Revolutionary way to turn s-off which is permanent.

I get random shut downs constantly. Usually atleast 3-4 times a day. It's pretty nerve racking. I honestly don't think it's the battery, I've experienced this issue on three different batteries and it happened on all of them. It's not ROM related either as I've tried probably 15 different ROMs (stock based, ICS, JB) and they all have this issue.
My buddy who has a Sensation also has this issue on his phone. Maybe it's a problem for that phone too since they are pretty similar?

[Help - Won't Boot] Sensation XE

I flashed firmware 3.33 yesterday and the phone ran very well all day today however it has stopped booting now and even won't take me to the bootloader to access anything.
It happened just now after I took Titanium Backup and then tried to reboot into recovery to backup current ROM however it failed and instead landed me into the Bootloader which didn't allow me to go into Recovery.
The last thing I remember is that it was showing "Bootloader warning" overhead just below -Firmware-3.33- title on which I choose to turn it off.
After turning off, I tried switching it on but failed. Tried many times but nothing worked out. Waited and thought the phone might boot up after keeping phone and battery separated however no luck either.
Did I just bricked my device for no reason?

Sorry for the long post but I am having some strange issues with my Sensation XE and after spending almost US$300, I am not happy and want to enjoy this device :crying:
I purchased Sensation XE from eBay last month and it got delivered to me by the Feb 15, 2013 since then I have been struggling to get experience on this phone.
Not sure if these issues have been posted/reported before, I couldn't get anything hence thought to post it anyways. I am still keeping some hope
I have been facing some very strange and some rare issues with my Sensation XE, after week long research and self testing, I thought to get help from community.
Battery Discharge: [Known and common issue] - My phone's battery gets discharged very quickly... it does not survive even 4 hours in standby time.
Phone Heating: [somewhat abnormal and known issue] - The phone keeps on heating when it's on and is in sleep. The heat is always at the bottom of the phone due to which it sometime heats to a level when touching this area is impossible without burning my fingers.
What's abnormal and strange is that the phone keeps heating even when the phone is turned off and the battery is inserted. Not sure if anyone else have encountered such a problem.
Battery Back Door: [Very Abnormal and Strange Issue] Well, as it sounds, it is a very abnormal and rare issue I have encountered so far. I am aware that the battery backdoor has 4 antennas built in to boost signals for both Voice and Wifi however it is sending my phone into Sleep of Death (SoD). The phone works fine (except issues mentioned above) until when I put the battery back door on, then the phone either stops responding and freeze else it goes in SoD. I don't know how to fix it.
Signal: [Know issue] I have very poor signal on my phone. It sometimes keep my phone reported as "Switched off" and no visible signals at all. Sometime switching Airplane mode makes it work but most of the time does not.
I face the same problem with Wifi wherein the phone catches very poor signal from my router wherein other devices have 90+% network. This happens even when the phone is placed right next to the wifi.
So far, these are the the problems I have noticed on this phone. I couldn't do much because the phone never gives me that much time.
I have been active on HD2 dev forum for long but these issues are not common for me, neither I am a dev.
To fix these issues, I have tried different ROMs, Kernels, OC'd and UC'd the phone, still no sign of relief. I once again apologies to post any repeated issues and for posting such a long/lengthy post.

Hi,
It sounds like you bought a dud. (any chance of returning it?)
Go to settings/power and untick fastboot.
Power the phone off.
Power on holding volume down and power button together.
You will be in bootloader.
Write down all you can see,and post back here.

Thanks for coming so quick
I haven't asked the seller yet. Initially, I thought it was a battery problem since my HD2 also had some issues with one of six battery pack I had hence I requested the seller to replace the battery which I am going to get in a day or two.
I didn't try the "fastboot" thingy which I am going to do now.
Here is what I see on the bootloader
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000
RADIO-11.213504.13_2
eMMC-boot
Jan 13 2012, 17:33:34
And yes, one more thing, At times, I see the following warning on the bootloader which I can see right now:
Battery voltage is too low!
Please charge a battery...

Hi,
Your radio is all wrong.
I have not seen that version before (I think it is quite old)
If you can keep your phone on for a bit,try to update the firmware (which includes a newer radio)
Look HERE
3.33 Universal firmware is what you are looking for.
Read the thread carefully.

Thank you so much mate, I have flashed the 3.33 Universal version and now my bootloader says the following:
Previously, the title of the bootloader said "LOCKED" now it says "-Firmware-3.33-"

HBOOT-1.27.0000
RADIO-11.24A.3504.31_M (Previously 11.213504.13_2)

Hi,
Yes! All looks good .
Now , see how the ROM is running.
What ROM do you have ?

Thanks Mate... Indeed the ROM is running like butter. I am on JB CM10.1 nightly.
This phone has stopped heating too much neither the battery backdoor is creating any problem... no more freezing no more lags. It's been almost 20 min the phone has not encountered any sleep of death which itself is a good sign. Though battery charging is still very slow, I am going to get a replacement battery in a day or two, maybe that resolves remaining problems.
I don't use this phone for daily use because of mentioned issues. I will see how it works tonight and then will take carry it to my office to see it's real performance.

Bump... the first post has been updated with my BRICKED Device updates
Oh god... why did I buy a $300 paperweight :crying::crying:

I was on their IRC and realized that S-Off devices cannot get benefit from this project, I am going to try it anyways.
I am right now downloading Linux live CD so that I can do all these things.
I hope I won't have to send it to a JTAG

Hi,
Just try this...
Take out the battery,sim card,and sd card.
Plug the phone into the charger.
Leave it 5-6 hours,then,put it back together and try again.

Tried... didn't work, it's a paperweight now (mixed emotions)
Though I have found a JTAG in my city and he has confirmed he can unbrick Sensation XE. I am going to give a try this weekend.

Hi,
Good luck.
Any chance of a return to the vendor?

by JTAGing your device the warranty will be voided...
try pres and hold power 1 min without battery inserted and see if the phone boot up...

I contacted the vendor, he is okay to give me a replacement. Just that I am lazy shipping it back to Hong Kong. Plus shipping is also going to be expensive.
Shipping back will be my last resort, probably after this weekend.

I did, nothing worked, I did almost all possibles things to make it back to life... all failed.
Can you confirm if JTAG can really resolve my problem? If no then I am not going to waste my time anymore and will ship it back to the seller for a repair/replacement.
Thanks guys.

Hi,
I do not know if Jtag will work in all cases.
If you have an option to return it,then,do so.
I think this phone will keep on giving you problems...

Yeah, I am somehow getting a feeling. This bi*ch heats up even when it's bricked and battery is inserted.
Just got a confirmation from the seller, I will be shipping it tomorrow itself...
Thanks man
