As you all know when ya go to power off the Sensation, there is the option to "restart" the phone.
This is my 2nd Sensation that does not like that feature one bit.
Power off works fine, but when I hit restart, the phone shuts off and will not turn on by itself? In fact, it goes into a little mini hibernation and wont wake for a few minutes no matter how long I hold the power button down.....very strange.
It's no big deal...just strange to have it act the same way when choosing "restart" on two different units.
Anyone encounter this on the Sensation?
Thx!
It happened to me in the first few days but now its all ok. It restarts fine.

Hmmmm, strange indeed.
I've had this 2nd one for a week....guess ill try it on day 8
That's weird, mine is working fine. Have you tried to hard reset? pretty sure it is a software problem.
Mine works and worked fine right out of the box.
Right on.... No biggie. Everything else is perfect.
Yes, I've done factory resets, battery pulls on both units....same thing.
I just won't use the restart feature.
Thansks guys!
Mine works fine. I only use it when I charge my phone completely to reset the Uptime & Awake time. If not, It keeps running on the same timers I powered it off with.
I'm on my 2nd sensation and neither of them actually restarts. They just powered off
I had no problems with restart, but noticed it wouldn't yesterday?
Cool...probably just a random software bug. Maybe HTC will fix it over time.
Stupid question - are you waiting after the phone shuts down for the reboot? At first I thought mine wasn't working either but then I just waited for about 10 seconds after the shutdown and the startup starts again.
It's probably faster to just shut it down and then power it up.
Works great for me.
Mine didn't work until I turned off Fast Boot.

Yea it happen when I'm in a phone conversation

Works for me, although it seems like the boot was slower than normal. I didn't time it, but subjectively it seemed so.
Also, had one instance earlier where a "power off" actually rebooted rather than shutting down.
It's all been fine since that odd instance.
Mine does tmo sensation....

Mine is from o2, arrived yesterday. Reboot doesn't work for me either. Same as you described.
I'm my case, fastboot needs to be enabled for it to restart properly.

mine works perfectly fine, no problems with restart
Dear All Sensation Owner,
I bought Sensation the first day it came out. And I went back Tmobile store for exchanged due to this issue. (which means this is the second phone)
Both phones have the same issues: Keep restarting itself!
My phone may restart for about 5~10 times a day.
It happens whenever I'm quitting a program (ex: Facebook, Contacts, MAP..etc) and it just restart itself to a white background with HTC logo screen. (T-mobile welcome screen "stick together" does NOT show up at this situation)
I'm wondering if anyone having the same issues with me. This has bothered me way too much! Should I exchange for a new one or just need patient for the update
Thanks!!!
The 5-10 reboots per day is not normal. Mine rebooted once in the 7 days that I've had it.
What you are experiencing is a soft reboot. Try factory resetting, if it doesn't help, by all means take it back.
i think this is just an Android OS problem , my brother has a THUNDERBOLT on verizon and he gets random reboots all the time ,same for his wifes droid x , hers is phucked , it restarted three times in three hours when i was by their house the other day and his once , my sensation has rebooted itself three times in two weeks so i guess i cant complain
Your phone isn't rebooting, it is Sense that is rebooting. The app or apps that you are using are using up too much memory to keep Sense running in the background. Instead of not allowing you to use your apps, your phone is freeing up space by disabling Sense. Try using the back key to exit out of applications instead of the home key. This kills the app rather than leaving it active in the background.
Either way, I'm not saying there isn't something wrong with your phone, there very well may be. I haven't had that issue at all, but two phones with the same exact issue leads me to think it is, atleast in part, a user-caused issue. Good luck man.

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.
iv gone from 4 hrs batt life bk to 16
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.
holy thread necromancy batman!
Can someone please help me? My htc sensation was working fine and all of a sudden it started freezing, so I took out the battery and put it back in. Now it won't turn on or boot into Hboot. The battery is fully charged and I even tried a different battery but still nothing. I've plugged in the phone without the battery as well and still nothing, the screen does not come on at all. Does anyone have a solution?

Hi,
I saw someone with the same problem.
He removed his sim card,left it for a while ,then switched on the phone without the sim card.
Might be worth a try.

this happened to me too for some reason too, when i try to turn it on it just vibrates every 40 seconds or so with a blank screen . i am running ordroids latest rom. oh and my theory is i short circuited the battery or something because when my phone was charging i yanked the power cord of the wall with the phone still plugged in , any ideas and/or soulutions to my problem ?
The same happened to me a few months ago and had to get it replaced with T-Mobile.

can you return it with manufacturers warranty to tmobile or is there another warranty you need
Have you tried another battery before you return it? Could be a bad battery?

Hey man saw your issue...
This happened to me about 3 months ago. I was watching a youtube video when suddenly my phone froze. I did the exact same thing. Pulled the battery, waited a few mins, popped it back in and nothing. If you have insurance on the device you can get it replaced. They completely replaced mine and it was s-off rooted! So you should have no problems at all!:good:
Mine has done that a couple of times. All I do is wait about 5 minutes then pull the battery, put it back in and then try to restart the phone. Sometimes it take 5 or 6 tries before it will reboot and even then sometimes all I get it the splash screen. Another hint is to have it plugged into the charger after you have put the battery back in. If the charging led is on then that means there is a very good chance the phone will boot
I notice on all ics roms that the time gets stuck in the status bar
Sent from my HTC myTouch 4G using XDA
You may be right but I haven't noticed this happening. It clicked over to the next minute while I was writing this. On sense 4 ICS at the moment.
Been running ICS ROMs for months. I've never once had that problem.
I just watched mine (CM9 / 4.0.4) roll over from 1:39 to 1:40. I have never noticed it lock up at all.
Do you think your phone might be locking up? What are you doing on it when it stops updating the time? How far off does it get before it corrects?
Every time I notice the time gets stuck I hot reboot the fone , now that these roms coming out it doesn't have hot reboot, I fully reboot the fone an notice an increase in battery life too by10%.. I notice when I reboot I get extra battery life I wonder if its battery bug
