Well not so random, everytime I work between 8-10pm my phone will shut down 4-5 times within a 10 minute period and drop roughly 20% in battery each time.
Now I don't remember it doing this pre-root, and it seemed to go away after fully calibrating my battery with insertcoin. But, now that I've flashed eaglesblood its back.
Anyone else have this issue or know howto fix it? Bad battery stats, or bad sd card, or should I flash back to stock unrooting and head over to tmobile after it happens?

I have a known issue.. but with a twist
When.my battery is showing that there is like 90% left. After a while and I reboot, there is only 4% left. That's a.known issue. But here is twist. If I reboot again, its back to 80% orso. And when I do.another reboot there is 75% remaining..
Another reboot shows 74% and so on
I'm sorry if this a known issue.. i don't have much time to search things while I'm working 45h a week.
Anyone knows a.solution for this?
I wiped battery stats. Discharged a few times and the.HTC trick.. non of these work

HB 1.23
ICS ARHD 6.0.3 before IC and VS

i dont think you can do anything about it. people say that turning off the device instead of restarting helps. i also have battery jumps but not nearly as extreme as yours. maybe ~5-10% jump. if its a drop jump then it will stay there until the real percentage reaches that said level, if its higher then it will drop quickly to the real percentage. from my experience that is, not a big deal

I know that 10-15% drops are normal.
but a drop of 70% is a bit odd.
Its not very serious but its quite anoying, i think its affecting my battery life
Try flashing the battery fix. It helped me out. I had same problem but not so radical.

Use your phone for a while without changing roms or clearing stats, don't charge until your battery is totally dead then don't take of charge until it is totally full, once full turn off and charge till light green, then back on and charge till green then repeat till you feel confident that your battery us full, then go through full discharge and repeat it will settle down but patience us required, remember stay with 1 rom radio and kernel without clearing anything for at least 4 days

Hi
From time to time I've had a weird battery drain issue. I usually charge the phone during the night so it's guaranteed to be at 100% in the morning. Some times tho the phone drains the battery in like 2-4 hours while it should be completely idle. Normally the battery can last up to two days without charging.
Today I managed to check the proccess list when this happened and from what I could see I had like 30 something logcat running. After killing those the battery lost like 1% in 1-2 hours so it seems like the logcats where the power thief's.
Any one else seen something like that?
I'm on stock rom but rooted.

Thats weird. I wish i could help but my phone had the stock rom for about 5 minutes before it was rooted and rom install

My phone keeps shutting off all the sudden like the battery is suddenly dieing. It doesn't matter what the battery percentage is. I'll manage to reboot it after a few tries and every time the battery percentage jumps around. I'll boot up into recovery and can play around in there all day without the phone shutting off but once I leave recovery it keeps happening randomly. The only time it won't reboot is when I have it plugged in (this is how I narrowed it down to a battery issue).
I've tried charging it all the way up but it still happens. I've wiped battery stats and have done a full wipe and fresh install. It happens with custom kernels AMD the stock kernel.
Is my battery fried or is there something else I can do?
Sorry for any typos I'm on my phone now.
I had similar problems. By chance, do u use juice defender? I was troubleshooting my issues and when I stopped using JD my shutoff problems disappeared.

Nope no apps for the battery or cpu. The only "tweaking" app I use is sd booster. I don't see how that could do anything though.
Try reseting battery data in recovery

Hello,
My htc sensation randomly turns off.
The first press of the power button causes the screen to light up a bit then turn off. Then I have to press and hold the power button to turn it on.
This started happening recently. It happens randomly.
At first I thought it had something to do with my current ROM, so I changed it, but it still keeps happening.
Any advice?
Thanks

More information needed, What rom are you using now, what kernel are you using now - sounds to me like a kernel problem
This happens to me too. It started when I upgraded from GB to ICS (Stock Sense 3.5 ROM to Virtuous Quattro). It is really annoying because it happens often if I want to accept a call.
What I did was to completely wipe my phone with 4ext, formated SD Card and formated the phone filesystem to ext4 in 4ext recovery. Then it did not happen for 5 days. Now it starts again. I hope its not a hardwaremalfunction or issue.
ROMs I tried but it still happened:
- Virtuous Quattro
- Virtuous Inquisition
- OpenSensation
- MIUI AOSP from blackwing
- OrDroid 8.1
Maybe I should try the new firmware 3.33 or reflash 3.32 or flash 3.32R2
The strange thing is you cant really recreate it. It happens too unregular.
reflashing firmware sometimes solves the issue
either you can reflash your firmware or ..try an updated firmware
I just flashed 3.33 Universal in. Lets see what it will change
I have a similar problem but not sure what it is. My sensation will charge to a full 100% and once it lowers under 70% it will shut off. When I turn it back on the battery will be some outrageous percentage like 5% or 14%. It immediately dies after every turn on never actually reaches 1%. I've fully wiped flashed several roms so its not software I think. Maybe I need a new battery? Any opinions ?

Perhaps worth a try:
Insert a little piece of paper between the top of the battery and the phone. This will push the battery against the pins and has been known to solve all kinds of silly battery problems.
i read it on a thread here in xda and its worked for me...my phone used to switch off randomly while in my pocket..its a battery issue..remove the back cover and push the battery down..you will notice that there is room for it to go further down..just wedge a piece of visiting card in the gap and see if it works for you..it has for me..

I would definitely purchase a new battery. Get a long lasting battery like Anker. I really love my Anker battery its made a huge difference for me! I'd do it soon! Before the battery dies completely! Best of luck hope this helped.

been on bamf final for several months. battery fully charges and then goes from 100 to sudden reboot after 5 minutes or so. After reboot, battery is usually at 3-10 or so. No sudden reboots while plugged in. Awaiting a new battery from ebay. Any other ideas what this might be?
Id guess its battery mostlikely. If that dont fix it, unroot back to stock, see if it still does it, then call in.

To me, it sounds like a new battery will fix the problem here.

I hear a new battery might fix it.
Occasionally I'll look and see my phone battery has gone from 84% to 71% or something drastic like that- I look at the battery use graph and see a random and no-slope dropoff, happens when the phone screen is off, not in use at all.
Otherwise expect a reboot to suck 10%-20% of your battery.
OP here -- new battery in and working fine.
