[Q] Sensation very active over night

Each night I turn off my Sensation. Really off, not stand by. After one night my battery drops from 100% down to 53%. No idea why.
Since then I sometimes look into the build-in battery-use (hope it's wright, my Sensation calls it Akkuverbrauch). The graphic shows activity the whole time my phone is turned off. HTC Support has no idea why. Maybe you have the answer what's going on in my turned off Sensation.

Are you using push mail?

No push mail.
But how should this work? The device is completely turned off. Sensation should do really nothing in that state, or am I wrong ?

Do you have fast boot enabled, in the power settings?
If so, it's some kind of hibernation so the phone can come on quickly and isn't truly shut down. The fact it's in the power settings means it must have some effect on the power...
Try disabling it and see if it stops your problem

Judging by the pic your phone still shows the battery at 100%. Once it dips below this it will display the usage activity correctly.

Yes, fast-boot is enabled. I'll try next night with disabled fast-boot and see what happens.

I have not this problems, but the tweaks chrisw99 seems perfect, so think to say us.
I hope, it will be done with it.

I have experienced this but found out that syncing caused it. Change sync mode to manual if you dont need it

Great ! I disabled it yesterday and this morning there was no nightly activity. Thank you.

[Q] My phone keeps turning off.

My phone will randomly turn off out of nowhere. Earlier today I had 17% battery and it just turned off instantly. I turned it back on and had 87% battery. About 10 minutes later it instintly turned off again and when I turned it on I had 25% battery. It's getting really annoying. I never had this problem before, nor have I ever dropped it.
Is there something wrong with the pins on the back of the case or something?
Thanks in advanced for the replys.

nvm................

i had this same issue, for me it helped to move all my apps back to my SD card and reformat my sd card. Since then it happend once again and that was after i dropped my phone and my sd card unmouted. but besides that occasion havent had it for about a three week now.
might be related to moving apps to sd card, not sure do if this actually started the problems for me.
I m on stock ROM and i live in europe

I've got the same problem since about a week, phone randomly turning off. Though never when i'm using it, alsways when the phone is in standby mode, including the strange battery level jumps. I thought it was an app so i did a hard reset, but the turning off remained. I switched from Sense to Launcherpro, still no change.
My phone runs on stock rom, 2.3.4, Sense 3.0, Kernel 2.6.35.13
This weekend i'll backup my SD-card and reformat it, if this helps i'll let you know.

Been there, done that; problem still exists... I have tried a new battery new software (factory reset and hard reset in the repair centre), boardsap, other simcard, other sd card... The problem still is there, I am trying to get a new phone. The problem is the phone ... My question is is this only a normal sensation problem or is this also a problem on the Sensation XE?

My phone is starting to show the same symtons again. Overnight it also has shut down. So i guess the sd format did not get rid of the problem. But on my phone it definitively made it less frequent. As before the format i had it 5 times a day and now i have it once a 2 days. Probably will get worse overtime as the last time i had it.

Let me know if u succeed, i contacted HTC today and they told me to factory reset my phone. Not looking forward to that, do. Might do it next week.
forgot to ask, did HTC give u those out of warranty our did u buy them yourself?

Let me ask you a question. Have any of you polished your covers to chrome? I have had the same issue of my phone turning off in my holster, but only when I have my polished case on it. When I put my spare one that has not been touched, the phone works flawlessly. Not sure if there is some weird static buildup that is shorting the phone. Also, to get it to turn back on, I have to pull the battery first.

I had the same problem on my Sensation, turning off randomly (not reboot). And the battery would display wrong reading once it is back on. Initially I thought this was due to bad rooting or a custom ROM issue, I restored back to stock and right there on the language selection screen on first start and without the SD card, it went off. That made me sure it was a problem something else. I thought then it would be due to bad charges in the battery, used different charger to charge, didn't work, then I replaced the battery, somehow the problem stopped and when I insert back my old battery the problem still didn't come back. I don't have an explanation to this behavior. It works fine now.

That sounds weird, I didn't polish my back to chrome... And I also do not need to pull my battery to turn it back on. A few times I had that it turned of and it would directly turn of again after it was restarted (home screen loaded). The only way to get out of that was to hook it up to the charger.

It's really odd. I can't even use the phone any more.
When I turn it on, as long as the screen stays on it will not turn off.
Once I lock it and put it in my pocket, about 40 seconds later it shuts off. This isn't just powering down, it just instantaneously shuts down. I also can't turn the device back on no matter how many times I press power, I have to physically pull the battery and put it back in to turn it on.
One more thing to add: My girlfriend smacked my phone out of my hand once accidentally and the case doesn't click in. It stays in place but if you hold the case and attempt to take it off it falls off. I'm thinking it could possibly be a problem regarding the pins, but from what I know the pins only control the screen.
Edit: One last thing, when it's connected to my computer and being charged it never shuts down.

Read
I had this same problem two days ago. Left work and my phone just shut off while in my pocket. I was running sense-o-maniac Desense 3.5. It continued this behavior for the next day. Also my battery was showing random charge percentages. There were two issues"
1. I was had used the battery calibrator app from the market to erase my bat stats - problem - it kept erasing my battery stats.
2. I was using set CPU and after reading many dev forums about such issues, I realized that setting the idle below 384 mhz, it causes the phone to random reboot.
Once I conducted a complete wipe and flashed MIUI I was good. no issues.
My Suggestion: Try a complete wipe, then Android Rev HD wipe, then reflash, Wipe cache, Davlick Cache, Fix permissions, then reboot. Drain the battery, then recharge to 100% and wipe bat stats

2nd factory reset and reformatting the microSD did not solve my problem...
@anari101: I'm a big fan of custom roms, but currently my sensation's still running a stock rom. I'd rather not void the guarantee at the moment by flashing it as the phone isn't functioning properly. If i can't fix this problem without flashing a custom rom, i can return it to HTC and hope for a repair or a new device/battery...
Anybody got any other ideas?

i also dont want to root a phone that might have problems.
I did not do any factory reset yet, but the problem is comming back now i have once a day it just shuts down. The last time when i picked it up and pressed the power butten the screen was white for a split second. However if i look at my history of battery monitor widget it stopped recording an houre earlier. clueless to why this happens.

If your phone is rooted, I agree with anari - use current widget and battery calibration to re-calibrate your battery. Let phone charge all the way and then some like another 2 hours. Use battery calibration to get rid of batterystats.bin. Let battery completely drain (Hopefully it doesnt shut off in the process). Definitely seems like something is wrong with your ROM's battery settings.
If you dont have your phone rooted. Have you received any updates lately? If a factory reset didnt help - go to your local Tmobile and just have them ship you a new phone. Not worth dealing with the issue and they can get you a new phone within a couple days.
EDIT: If you have NOT factory reset your phone. You can try to copy all data off your SD card, reformat it. Insert it, let the phone recognize and set it up then add everything back on. If that doesn't work, factory reset (after using Astro to backup all apps). If THAT doesnt work, go get a new phone.

I am having this same problem. Mine always happens when I take my phone out of my pocket after it's been sitting for a while. It also seems that my battery is always around 30-40 percent. It will unlock then just turn off. I turn it back on and after about 30 seconds it turns back off. The only way I can get it to stay on is plugging it in to the charger for a couple of minutes after turning it on and it won't do it again for a while. I don't know what it is but I'm thinking battery or SD card.

Strange Turning off by itself

Hi I'm wondering if anyones come across this problem where the Tab turns itself off. After serveral attempts to turn it back on it wont. Only way is to plug the power plug in and then turn it on, the battery is on about 80% charged so there it has nothing to do with flat battery.
Before I plugged it into the power plug it seemed to be hotter at the back than usual. Its not overloading itself out is it??
Its happened a few times but nothing major just strange.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
It was on stock P6800XXKL1 but moved up to stock P6800XXLA3 both had the same problem before.

i have the P6810 completely stock and have seen this once

Does it go through shutdown sequence or just instantly lose power?
Try charging it for a few hours with it turned off?

It goes through the shutdown sequence. Don't think charging it when its off will make a difference but I give it a try.

random turn off Galaxy tab p6800 7.7
I have a stock 7.7 and there have been a number of times when i find it is off OR not responding immediately to the power switch when i pick it up to use it. Ie power switch doesnt turn on screen. I assume it has shut down.
Battery is full.
bluetooth, Gps & packet data off, Wifi on.
I have to hold the power button down for prox 30 sec and ot starts up and goes through normal boot up. I dont know whats causing this either.

On this device, what does "Off" mean? If you press the power switch, does it really turn off,
or is it suspended?
I.E., does it go through a boot process when you turn it on, or does the screen just come on?

This looks like the sleep of death also happening with the Tab7.7 as well as on the Galaxy Note.

From the manual:
To turn on your device, press and hold the Power key. If you
turn on your device for the first time, follow the on-screen
instructions to set up your device.
To turn off your device, press and hold the Power key and
select Power off → OK.
It goes through the boot sequence.

I bought this tab 2 weeks ago and it's happened about 4 or 5 times now. Basically I'll put it in sleep or standby or whatever you would like to call it. Then when I go to press the Power button again I'll find that the screen won't turn back on and I'll have to hold it and turn it back on as if it were off. This whole turning off automatically thing isn't as bad as it was on the Toshiba Thrive I had but still, it shouldn't be there. Especially for a what I suppose is a premium product like this, I mean around $500 AU isn't just a little bit of money.
Sorry if I sound kind of negative but I hope this gets patched or something, Toshiba took a good 3 months to patch the Thrive along with upgrading it to 3.1, lets hope the 7.7 doesn't take that long.
One of the main reasons I got this was that I trusted Samsung for support, not just for ICS but for updates and customer support as well.

Try replacing the launcher. TW sucks big time.

I was thinking I'm the only one had this problem.
The device looks dead/unresponsive instead of turned off. I've to hold the power button for 15 sec or longer to force reboot.
Another thing I've found is 7.7 seems to work well without SIM card installed, no such issue happened for days, but it happens much more frequently with SIM card inside, i.e. twice a day.
I assumed this may relate to 3G module/driver/baseband/etc, until now someone said it also happened on P6810.
Could it be a software or hardward glitch?

looks like sleep of death similar to 7+, also exynos.

I'm pretty sure it's a software glitch. In the Toshiba Thrive, it could be patched. They don't sell the 3G variant here in Aus so I wouldn't know if 3G affected the frequency of it lol.

I have had atleast two shutdowns aday but since I added an everyday alarm(silent one), I haven't had none and that's 6days with out.
I know this sounds strange but works for me.

I've had my primary worn out simcard on my tab for a few days and no SOD yet, when it happened the first time there was also no simcard on it, Im sure this is the very same issue with the Note.

same for me on GTP6810
this is SOD as I got on my Nook Color with cyanogenmod ROM ...
after I installed ADW Launcher Ex no more SOD ... not sure is related to the launcher ... I'll edit this post if I get SOD with ADW
EDIT: just got SOD

have you guys tried to turn off wifi when the tab goes into sleep mode in the settings?

My sim card not detected im only able to used it for several hour. And the last attempt after restarting for several time the device able to detected it but for only 10-15 minutes then sim card removed notification appear while the sim card is still in there. This really piss me off.bcoz i just bought this device.

[Q] Random reboots on pressing wake button?

Hi all,
Right, my phone isn't rooted as I just sent it off to HTC to have a look at - to no avail - they may just have reloaded the ROM which was wonderful
Anyway, for a while now I've been having issues whereby, normally whilst the phone is on low battery (~15%), pressing the power button to wake the phone will result in the screen staying black, before after 2 seconds, rebooting to the HTC logo.
I expected this to be a hardware error, so simply loaded my apps and settings back on as soon as it was returned. Is there any possibility that it may be something other than a hardware error that could cause this reboot, such as the SIM card or a particular app?
It's absolutely doing my nut in
Cheers,
James

Tried with two batteries, tries wiping the battery stats. Also occasionally happens with high charge so it doesn't seem a battery issue.
Cheers though.

I'm having a similar issue from time to time. I've been lucky enough to not have this issue for the last 4 weeks or so but 3-4 days ago it came back. But I think I solved it, at least temporarily.
Next time it crashes, remove the battery and while the back cover is off, press and hold the power button for ~10 seconds to drain what little power is left. Then put the battery and cover back on but don't turn the phone on. Instead, charge it until the led turns green. I'm not sure if this really is a fix but since I did this it hasn't crashed. I remember doing something similar back in January and it seemed to fix the issue then too. But it seems to come back over a period of weeks/months.
PS. Now that I think of it, maybe you don't have to wait for it to crash. Just turn it off and go through the steps and see if it helps.

Hi, i know this is an old thread, but I have the exact same problem on my Desire S. So i'm wondering if you ever solved this problem?

When you press the wake button, the phone doesnt restart, it just boots up. It is quite a known issue. There seem to be a design flaw that makes the battery just a little bit loose. So little that its not really noticealble, but enough to.cause the phone to turn off randomly. The solution is to place a.little piece of paper on the opposite site.from the battery connector pins. It makes the battery hold really tight, and ive never had this issue ever again.
Hope.i.could help.

I had similar prob
I used to have lots and lots of apps installed on my phone ALONG with all the tmobile apps since my phone is NOT rooted.
At some point on, my phone would constantly reboot from the white screen with HTC logo.
Then I thought maybe i'm over doing my phone, so I tried uninstalling some of the apps that I don't use as often.
It helped me...
hope it helps you too =]

Look for a video named "HTC sensation random shutdowns/reboots problem SOLVED" on Youtube. I can't post any link as I'm a new user, but this simple fix worked for me!
Apparently this issue has nothing to do with software updates or custom roms. It is just a design flaw that prevents the battery from connecting completely to the pins

[SOLVED] Sensation XE battery issues

Hello there!
I've been using my Sensation XE for about 1 and a half year now without too much problems, but I feel like my battery is dying.
On the stock rom the phone would randomly turn off (like pulling the battery out) and when rebooting most of the times it would keep turning off unless a charger was attached. Looking at the battery status, it reported the battery dropping from whatever it was at (sometimes as high as 90% charge) to 0%. Going back up to the old amount (or a bit lower, depending on the amount of reboots I had to do to get it to stay on) after it booted.
This can happen 5 minutes after it's been fully charged so it's not an empty battery somehow reporting 90% charge.
Since then I have rooted my phone and put a custom rom on it (the Cyanogenmod by albinoman887 found here)
The issue seems to happen less, but it still happens. Random drops in the charge causing the phone to turn off.
I have tried putting something behind the battery to improve contact, it didn't help.
I have seen a lot of people praise the Anker batteries on these forums, so I wonder if it's worth getting one.
Will a new battery fix my resetting problems?
And since appearantly the Anker batteries are less then the 1900 mAh promised, will this give my any improvement over battery life over my stock battery?
I attached a screenshot of the battery screen after one of these shutdowns. On the right side you can see a drop to 0% battery and it going right back up to above 30% charge (not near the previous amount, but 30% shouldn't cause the phone to turn off)
Thanks already for the help.

*bump*

You told that putting something behind the battery didn't help, but just to be sure, did you try hiting the phone and seeing if it causes a turn off/reboot? (hitting gently, just to make battery move, and not damaging the device itseld. Did it to my brother's desire S on my hand). if it's from physical movement, try the paper trick again, as it might have not been enough to keep the battery in place.
I don't know if getting an Anker will fix your problem, but if nothing else works, it's worth a shot.

Hitting it like you described won't make the phone turn off.
I even tried manually forcing the battery away from the contacts without the phone turning off.

I did some reading on the subject, and people seem to have the same issues even after battery replacement. Some people reported that locking their device to 3G only (WCDMA Only) solved the problem, and that their phones were crashing when in 2G for more than 10 seconds. I think it's worth a try (although firmware has been updated since what I found was written, it's worth a try).
To change your connection settings: On the dialer app type *#*#4636#*#* and when the Info screen shows up, enter phone information and on connection type choose WCDMA only.
Will search for more answers, but in my opinion, before buying a new battery you should try to fix it on the software side.
By the way, I once caused my phone such behaviour (but for me it was just once) by forgetting it for 20 minutes in a -30°C freezer, which killed my battery for a few minutes. Did you see any strange behaviour of the phone (besides shutting down) around the times it happens? It might be heating, having a certain app or as I said above, connecting to GSM instead of WCDMA.

I did the connection thing, but since the turning off is kind of random I cannot tell yet if it works.
As for weird behavior, I doubt it's an app since it can be hard turning it back on at times (crash on the sim pin menu or even before). This would mean that the app only boots sometimes.
And for temperature, the phone doesn't feel that hot. I've had times where I was using the phone intensively (games) and the phone would be quite hot afterwards, without turning off.
And I didn't ever leave it in a freezer either

No, the freezer was just an exmaple of my stupidity at times
But I think this could be related to radio, as some people reported locking their device to 3G-only fixed the issue for them (of course, you might not have reception everywhere). Try doing this via the testing menu - dial *#*#4636#*#* and in "Phone information" select "WCDMA Only" in the drop down menu.

My phone didn't randomly turn off since I changed the radio setting so it seems that the radio setting solution worked. Thanks a lot astar26!
