Phone freezes during night. - HTC Sensation

Anyone with any helpful advices?
Three nights the last two weeks my phone has frozen. I use the phone for the alarm over night and almost got late for work at these three times now. Im charging it in the night. And when I wake up it is fully charged, the green light is on. The screen is off and non responsive. None of the buttons respond either. The wierd thing is also that the bottom touch icons, home, menu, back and search are lit up in its white color. Other that that the phone is dead and needs a restart by pulling the battery to work again. When restarting the alarms is still set and active. I also got a constant titanium backup sheduled every night at 01.00. It is set to backup apps that changed during the day. Like ingame saves and such.
I am running the latest coredroid rom and cwm 5.0.2.0 if that is of any help.
Anyone experienced the same issue?
Thanks for any help!

Seems like a kernel issue. Update your kernel to the kernel dev's latest version.

[Q] Need help can anyone?

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.

Another Confirmed Bug After OTA Update (Involves Putting Phone Into Standy)

Another bug to report with the new OTA. If you missed the first one, here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226052
Multiple users have told me that they have this problem also. I thought it was just me at first, but since this seems to be an issue for others, attention should be drawn to it.
I have a phone-lock issue with the phone now after the update.
Basically, the phone doesn't register my first power button click to put the phone on standby.
I have to hit it twice for the phone to drop to standby.
At first, I thought it was a hardware issue, but I never have a problem waking the phone from standby. Therefore, it's not the power button. It's a problem with the update.
Anybody else have this? Any workarounds? Solutions?
I'm actually having the opposite problem. I sometimes have to press the power button twice to wake it up. And my battery life is so much worse now, other than that, I haven't noticed anything else for now.

Can't confirm haven't received my ota in Asian region yet.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
I do not have any such problem on mine. It's the European/International version, though.
I seem to be having this issue now. Never noticed it prior to the update. First few times I thought I missed the button or something.
I have the same as problem as well which sucks as I also have the phone bug. Does flashing a new rom fix this?

Have you tried doing a master reset- with the new update? It might clear out some of the bugs? I did the update today and I don't have those problems.

I'm having the same exact problem. I sometimes have to hit the button twice to unlock and my battery life is getting worse than what it was..
I'm having the same problem with lock and unlock.. takes sometimes 2-3 clicks for it to process.

I am definitely having that problem as well, looking for a way to just turn off screenshots until needed.
I´ve no problem at all after upgrade. My sensation was untouched before OTA message came and it was installed smooth and fast.
Battery usage are not known yet but after 6 hours it´s act like normal !!
None of mentioned issues on my Sensation after OTA (Central Europe - stock ROM, never rooted/S-OFFed/whatever).
To be perfectly honest, my Sensation went only better in all ways
I am having this same issue- but after the second time i hit the power button to wake up, the phone reboots. Is anyone else experiencing this??
Its dont it like 2-3 times today....happened a couple of other times since i updated a week ago.
Not had these issues at all. Did with my old Desire funnily enough, though
It has something to do with the home screen capture feature I'm pretty sure. If you press home in between the lock button taps it'll keep on takin shots. Random

I have got the same problem, i have to press the power button twice to put it into standby and also sometimes i have to press it twice to turn the screen on, it's wierd, i thought it may have been a hardware problem, but it clearly isn't if quite a few of us have it? Also I am running a custom ROM, Android Revolution HD 3.0.0, which is based on the WWE 2.3.4 rom.

Yup, if you try taking a screen shot with home and power button, then try to put it into standby, the phone definitely does show this problem.
I have the same problem. Power button is very buggy and doesn't turn the screen on every time and likewise, doesn't turn it off everytime. Screen comes on by itself at random times and sometimes when you press the power button, screen goes off but comes back on immediately.
just a question, is this a problem with sensation owners who went for the OTA from stock or those from S-OFF then installed the OTA, etc.?
no asian OTA as of the moment, i hope HTC pulls out a fix right away

[Q] Sensation randomly turns off (wrong battery calibration?)

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
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
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 had same problems, i uses battery calibration, recovery option wipe batt stats.
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.

[Q] Virtuous semi turn-off?

I've been running my HTC Inspire on the Virtuous 2.35 ROM for the past two months or so. Today, I was just on the Facebook app, and suddenly the Virtuous Unity box thing appeared on my screen. Everything went black, except the soft keys. My battery was around 45%, and none of the volume rockers or the lock button resulted in anything. I ended up taking the battery out, and restarting it. Everything seems fine so far. The black screen was for about 5 minutes until I turned it off. Should i be concerned about anything? Thanks.
That happens to be on 2.39 when I was trying to overclocked to 1.6ghz I'm thinking that's what caused it

Alarm not going off

Anyone having issues with recurring alarms not always going off? I have used my cell phone as my recurring weekday work alarm for years, and so far the One-X has failed to go off about 10 times in the month since i got it.
I wonder if this has something to do with the phone going into "deep sleep" mode at night. It certainly is good about not using a bunch of standby battery overnight, but i'd take a little drain to ensure that i'm not late for work.
I think i'm going to try keeping it plugged in all night to see if that fixes the problem, because if i remember right it has been the nights that i leave it sitting unplugged when it doesn't go off.
Thanks!
I've always used alarming app as my alarm and it has had no issues.

I've had that issue. Also the timer app consistently doesn't go off. I blame the multi tasking issue.
It's quite the annoyance, and it wasn't fixed by the official OTA 1.85 update. I'm curious to hear from folk running custom ROMs. That might indicate whether it's a multitasking issue or a "deep sleep" issue.
No problems here, I use 3 different alarms and all work flawlessly. Try deleting and re-creating.
I haven't had any issues, I have my alarm set for every day of the week and it hasn't failed me yet! Double check all your settings/etc. Make sure you didn't make a mistake!
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Its not a settings issue. Sometimes they work, sometimes they dont. I have it set to wake me up for work at 5:20 and it failed to go off a couple times so now i have another actual alarm clock to wake me up at 5:19. Ive woken up a couple times to it not going off. It doesn't do it that often, maybe 1 time every two weeks. The timer is what bothers me. It consistently doesn't go off. As soon as I unlock the phone, then the timer goes off, but if it is locked, the timer wont go off.

Yeah, i'm sure the two issues are related (timer and alarm). Are you stock or running a custom ROM? Like to know if the multitasking "fixes" in some of these roms remedies the issue.
I had a similar problem that turned out to be a clock issue. The clock would fall behind when I was on wifi and it went into deep sleep, and when it woke up...it would stay behind...even if I have network settings checked, or unchecked...all the usual stuff was troubleshooted. When the clock catches up to the real time...it skipped the alarm because it jumped ahead 20 minutes or whatever the time that it was behind. I called at&t, and their best advice was restore to factory. My phone hasn't done it since I restored and alarms are now flawless.
Good luck

I'm running CleanRom 3.1 SE and this has been happening to me. Last two days in a row I've been late to work, I just flashed CleanRom 3.1 SE over the previous version three days ago.
I am going to upgrade to 3.1.1 tonight with multitask mod v.2 and see if it helps.
Side note: I tried setting the alarm on my g2x instead last night. That horrible phone drained to zero battery from a full charge doing nothing xD. I need to stop using phones as alarm clocks..
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Since I posted this I have switched to Cleanrom 3.1.1 as well. I haven't had the issue again, but I think what has solved it is keeping it plugged in overnight. Can't say for sure if the rom changed the behavior at all. Plugging it in was making it work consistently when it was stock too.
My phone is always plugged in at night. This issue still occurred.
