no , but the battery seems pretty fine and it does power on the phone somewhat since it makes the led indicator blink temporarily

This is not true, when I first bought my sensation, it came with gingerbread sense 3.0, and the flash stopped working at 20%. Now I am on ARHD 6.51 and it's the same exact thing, Under 20%.
EDIT: I was checking my flashlight when I said it worked above 20%. Now that I checked the actual camera app it seems like you are right.

lol of course it is a standard HTC feature... Its the same on most Android phones
I guess you can edit the settings somewhere and get it to work with 10%

[Q] Phone shuts down automaatically

Hi All need your help,
I have custom ROM Insert Coin with Android 2.3.5.
My phone shuts down automatically any time ... It will work good for 5-6 hrs some time 1 hrs then its gone. I have to start it again...
I have observed that when it automatically shuts down and I start it goes till lock screen and then again shuts down it happens twice and then 3rd time it works fine for more 5- 6 hrs. I tried MIUI same issues and again Insert coin still same issue.
Though I put ROM freshly without any apps it happens and issues started from moving MIUI to insert coin.
Please help I really need help...I feels like it can be Vodafone service issue or my GPRS issue. bcoz last night removed sim and tried so it was not down for 5-6 hrs. But is it possible.
I had the same problem as you, so what i did was..
Flash an original RUU and do the guide for rooting again and its gone
That is how i did it ;-)

Today I had word with one of the XDA Senior and he told me to run fullwipe.zip before installation & after that it looks stable.. as per him it can be power issue.. and I think he is right bcoz my automatic screen off setting was changing to never automatically...

Where do you get fullwipe.zip? I always use superwipe from the ARHD rom page. Does the fullwipe clear the ruu as well or something?
Sent from my HTC Sensation with Beats Audio using XDA App
Issue still persisting ... don't know what to do ....very annoying :S and don't see any member helping...That dose not clear RUU... If you got any solutions please let me know.
Well I solved my problem. Turns out the battery wasn't fitting tight enough. I just folded a little piece of paper to make it tighter.

you can go to fastboot mode by switching off your phone and then press (volume down + power) button to turn on your phone to bootloader. Use the volume up and down to navigate in the menu. In that menu navigate to fastbot and press power button. Now, plug in your usb charger.Note that you wont get the orange led while charging.. but it'll get charged

Why not just charge your phone with it powered off? Fastboot keeps the screen on, so there will be higher drain.

It will charge faster in fastboot then it will booted up as there is no OS hogging the battery, you all know that android os generally is the thing that uses the battery most! As for the fastboot thing, i cant see it doing it faster than being turned off.Doing it while turned off actually charges it more accurately and can take hours! It's the correct way to calibrate it

But just to add my view on the issue, I found that battery charges much faster in recovery, so try doing that instead of fastboot

Recovery mode can be used by the users who have a custom recovery.... But, every phone has a fastboot mode right?

Every phone has a recovery img, same as every phone has fastboot. Please read up and play with your phone, it is the best way to learn new stuff and understand how it works.

Charge your Sensation fast - turn it off.
Problem solved. Next!
You can also put it in airplane mode if you don't want to turn it off. The gsm/3g signal costs the most energy from your battery
Mine usually takes ~30 mins to charge from 10% to 100%. I don't see why fastboot would help at all. If it takes longer than an hour, try rebooting. Often the battery percentage 'freezes' showing an incorrect percent.

[Q] Help! sensation XE battery drain and charging problems

My sensation XE is having massive battery drain after rooting. it goes from 100% to flat in less than 3 hours in standby mode. i can't even charge it 'cause it drains even when charging in AC AND even with the phone turned off. the display consumption is constant at 95% even though i deactivated the automatic brightness and put it at minimum.
I can only charge the battery via a modded USB cable.
I don't have an extra battery so i can't try using another one and i want to consult you guys before buying a new one.
Any ideas?
I'm running on ARHD 6.8.0 XE with Beats Audio

A long time ago I have this problem on a Nokia and I send it for repair and they say that is the charging processor that is burned and it drain very fast battery. Well I have one idea try underclock your CPU to 192 max and 192 min and write here the results. Did you try to do a new fresh install, without app and maybe without HTC sense????

[Q] My phone don't turn on just vibrate

Hy everyone,
Today i cleaned the dust under the digit. So i fully dismantled my Sensation but after assembled it again it wont boot. Black screen, no lights just vibrate, charging LED works, the connectors are connected. There is any solution except service that can help to my phone come back to life?
It sounds like the screen is disconnected. Either take it apart again and try to find what cable wasn't connected right or send it in for service.
