Ok. I've had my sensation since day one. And some times I have a problem where the phone just turns off while using it. And then I have to pull the battery in order for it to boot completely. Before my phone tirned off i was at about 50%. When i got it to turn back on i was at about less then 10%. I've wiped batter stats. I have the anker 1900 battery it even does this with stock battery
Hmmm I see others are having this battery drain issue just like you. It seems the CPU or something is getting stuck in a on or hyperactive state. This is causing the device to malfunction. If I was you I would request a replacement cause from my personal experience with my first Sensation it will eventually die completely. I was typing a text message when it locked up and then shut down on it's own and that was all she wrote.
Might be a bad battery ever tried some differents one ?

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

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.

Hi,
About a month or two ago I think, I've had a problem that my phone randomly reboots.
But for now my phone shuts off. I've tried many things so I don't know what to do right now.
Put some paper between the battery and case for better connection.
Also it's only when my phone is beneath the 20%
Maybe change my battery or just go for the One X?
Thanks

maybe your batttery is dying
It might just be a conflict since you flashed a new rom
Some say that wiping battery stats doesn't do anything, so just download the app battery calibration from the market and charge your battery then go into the app and hit calibrate battery
I had the reboot issue on some custom Roms, and shutdown when the battery safe Plan is reached - decrease the battery safe to 5% or lower.
PS. since i am in fully stock condition (was in repair) no problems.

Please tell me what to do? I've used custom rom 4.1.1 and i noticed that my battery drained faster. So i flashed the non droid backup of stock rom4.0.4. But nothing changed.So i thought that might be bad battery and i went to service center and changed the battery. But nothing happen. If i left my phone with 50% or less at night, it shut off in the morning. So what should i do. Btw service man actually changed the battery coz i have the old battery in hand.
