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?

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.

My desire s battery drops from 100% to ~15% after about an hour of surfing with edge mobile network.(with different roms) And my friend tell me that this is unusual. I have tried calibrate the battery with the battery calibrate app and it didn't help . It's there anyway to solve this such as flashing baseband?
Thanks for helping.

first open battery usage and investigate which app eat a lot of power.
sometimes just restart the phone will clear out the issue.
The app which eat many power is the browser but I have tried other browsers too but same problem happened.
I have restarted and flashed tons of times and ROMs but same happened.

- which rom are you using? official or custom ?
- try to restart phone, donot open any browser and see if the battery still drain?
I tried cm stable, miui stable , HTC sense ROMs. It only drain when I surf with my edge mobile network. If I use WiFi its normally draining , about two to three hours.

with the same radio? or different?
if the same radio, try to flash another one
if problem with different radio, may be bad coverage in your location?
Try to move to another place with good coverage and give it a try
As i remember i never flashed the radio. Can u suggest which radio should i use?
Does baseband affect the battery life? If yes l, which baseband should I flash? Thx

Can we use that if i'm using hboot 2.00.002?
- firstly check to see what radio version are you using now?
- make sure your phone was rooted when calibrate battery. Is it rooted?
serious battery problem
OK, I have a serious problem. I updated official RUU, and my phone is running smooth. Battery lasts 1-2 days, everything is working fine. But last night battery was on 17% and I put it to charge at 12pm, woke up at 6am and it was on 33%. I'm charging it right now and it's up to 41% then drops to 39% and so on. Tried another charger - same thing. It won't charge! No new apps, no new settings, battery stats shows the same power use,.... Battery health is good, Auto sync is off,.... I have Go Power Master, Juice Defender, shows no problems. 3G is off, it's on GSM only, Wi-Fi is off, GPS is off and so on, my phone is fully optimised and this happened last night. I charged it while off and now it's on 37%! So I guess it's not a software issue. Anybody has an answer or a clue what could be the problem, please? Is my battery dead (year of use)? Thanks in advance.
try to restart your phone?
Tried that. I'm currently charging it power off, turned it on and it's still draining. While it's off!
i guess it's battery problem. Borrow another battery from your friend and try again.
Well, it was a strange thing... I've noticed that GO Power Master is killing like 25 apps and prolonging time for some 2 and a half hours when you hit optimise button every 2 minutes. So some apps are running in the back and draining the battery. So I uninstalled some of them (clock widget, Noom, Zoner antivirus,...) and restarted phone and by the end of the day it was all stabilised like before. I don't know what happened. I'm still testing it but I've managed to charge it to 100% and there was no drain over night. We'll see.

maybe you should look at this man..http://lifehacker.com/5650894/andro...ed-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them
Noom
I have a S2 and every day, at 20:00 the phone starts a process and gets very hot and also drains the battery.
I discover that if I freeze the Noom app, it doesn't happen.
So, I blame noom for your draining issues and mine.
Does anybody else having this problem?
Regards
I didn't had a problem since uninstall, but it happened again later, I think it was from Firefox. While it was on charger, I got popup note saying something like "phone is using more than current can deliver, try to kill some apps or turn phone off while charging." First time I see that note. Probably because it was on Sense, not on launcher. I've noticed that Firefox is using a lot of memory, uninstalled it and it was all normal like before.

I had this problem, but svery time it was solved with rebooting. It showed normal percentage. I think, you just need to reboot device sometimes, may be once in two days. I suppose to think the couse of ghis problem is a kernel) it can be engaged with not an exact process, so battery drains. Try to change kernel, or rom, or battery)

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.

Ever since I've used the Battery Calibrator from Damo Software, my HTC Snesation (on ARHD 7.2 with Faux123's kernel) has been resetting its battery level to 100%or 99% whenever I restart. Also, when it reaches battery low (I am usually not aware of this because the battery showing is not 4% or 5%) it restarts and then restarts and then won't open (stuck on beats audio page). However, I can still access recovery and always have to flash a nandroid backup every few days.

that started to happen exactly after using the Battery Calibrator or not?
did you try a different battery to see if the issue persists?

I don't have another battery replacement and it started happening a few days after using the Battery calibrator.

I have flashed a new rom (vipers 1.63) but the problem still persists and I think it could be due to the battery. So I'll get a new battery but anyone can give me more info on his kind of problem.
Well what's happening is that the...... Was gonna give u all the details but the short of the long is the battery isn't good anymore.... They all ware out after a while
