[Q] sensation crashing during unlocking the screen

Hi there guys!
i just bought a htc sensation a month ago and make its s-off an flashed also a custom rom (senseless rom 1.2)
now my problem its, that the phone is rebooting sometimes, when i try to unlock the device from sleeping.
i push the power button, the phone doesn't react, so i push a second time. after pushing 2nd time, the display splash on and at the next moment off.
2 seconds later, i got the boot-splash of the device.
anyone had this problem already?
EDIT: this problem was coursed also before s-off, therefore i choose this section to disks about! =)

I'm having this problem as well. I have not rooted or s-off'd or anything else. Stock rom, most apps from the market. This started happening the other day when I installed an update to version 2.3.4. This is happening several times a day and is getting extremely annoying!!

hi,
i just followed this problem again.
i am using now the Beast Rom, and the phone has still this problem.
any ideas?

Try flashing ARHD 3.6.1 from Mike1986 very stable, good support and fully operational. way better than stock.

Defrag your micro sd card and fix file system errors. Uncheck enable fastboot and turn off your phone then turn it back on again. Lastly, try not to use "kill all" in task manager. Hope it help you guys.

Crashing as well
Same here with crashing.
During unlock, when using GPS. It's now several times a day. The device has become unfit for purpose. Will try the SD card trick.

Sensation constantly turns off with custom ROM's

I have had this issue since I rooted/s-off my senation.
I flashed Android Revolution and I noticed my Sensation would turn off about 10 times during the day and I would have to restart the phone.
I then decided go back to stock using my backup with clockwork and I noticed it continued to reboot, but not as often.
I then wiped/cleared cache and tried to flash a new ROM (Synergy)
It was ok for the first couple days and now its back to rebooting about 10 times a day.
Is anyone else having similar issues? I have a US Tmobile Sensation.
Thanks

If I were you I would run the ruu for your device and if it occurs return to t mobile for a replacement.

Had same issues and nobody helped me.... Here's the repair. Hit the thanks button if it helps you.
I went on eBay and bought a new battery, apparently the initial battery died while flashing from a Rom to another. I suggest you buy the highest mAh you can find, I personally found one called Anker with 1900 mAh.
Good luck to you

A few things....
Obviously something funky happened....and no it's not normal...even for custom ROMS. ARHD works fine, so does Synergy.
For ****s & giggles try InsertCoin ROM. The latest build is VERY stable and fast.
ALWAYS make sure that the MD5 Checksum the developer gives for the download matches. Bad downloads do happen. Firefox has an MD5 checksum addon.
Also...make sure there is no possibility of any 3rd party app causing conflicts/reboots. Play around with a new ROM for a little bit (hour or so) before installing 3rd party apps. Just to be sure it's stable on it's own.
In recovery....
~Data wipe
~Clear cache
~Clear Dalvik cache
~Install a custom ROM (IC for example)
~Reboot
*DONT TOUCH THE DEVICE FOR 10 min. LET IT SIT.
~When the 10 min is done....reboot device.
~Setup your Sensation how ya like.
Good Luck!!

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try another ROM and the suggestions you guys posted.
I do not have any crazy third party apps. They are all popular ones and only a few.
If all else fails I will try a new battery first and if that doesnt work I will root it back up and send in for a replacement.

Also it wouldn't hurt to try another kernel

[Q] sensation 4g randomly turning off and rebooting

Is anyone else experienceing this problem and is there a solution to fix this?

Factory Reset, you messed something up in your rom most likely. If you are s-off'd I would recommend flashing another rom, or reflashing a the same rom.

Which ROM are you running?

im using ARHD, but im used many other rom and the samething keeps happening, i even got another sensation and its the samething

I too have run across this issue. I found if I use more than one Widget it happens. This is happening on the past two roms I have used.

COMPLETELY wipe your phone, flash a stable ROM you know that works, and then make a nandroid backup so this doesn't happen again. Normally I would suspect a faulty kernel, but if it's happening on every ROM idk what to say.

I am going to flash another rom , for testing purpose...while looking into it I fund this comment.....
Set CPU clock back to 1.2 GHz.... fi you don't want your CPU to be overclocked or you had boot-loop or random reboots ---
Not sure if this is the answer, but I'll try it, if it continues , and will report back

I've been running into this same issue, but it only happens in the middle of the night. The phone wakes me up with its little vibrate when rebooting over and over. The only way I can stop the rebooting is to unplug and plug the charging cable back in. Plus the phone gets really hot until I unplug it. Running the latest NRG rom with stock kernel.

This happens to me whenever I play music, and alternate between texting and surfing the web...stock rom...

I'm having the same problem now. Phone was fine then started rebooting. wiped and restored from backup of when it was fine and still reboots.

i have the same problem i installed the bad recovery awhile back when it forst came out now on the good one but i think it messed up the phone cause i have random reboots like crazy i have s-off and everything just since that day it started but the phone works perfect on the charger i got a s2 since then but would like to revive my old phone if possible

Random phone lockups

Ive been having some random phone lockups where the phone becomes unresponsive and the only way to get it back is to pull battery and turn on again.
I'm on virtuous inquisition 3.0.
Just wondering whether this is a rom issue or hardware. Has anyone else had this problem?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA App

I am running the same rom and it's running great for me. Did you super wipe before you installed the phone?

I think is the rom, I had the same problem with the coredroid Rom. I'm now using the insect coin rom and the problem is gone.

Yeah used the superwipe script from another Rom's page. I might try wiping fully manually then see if it fixes it.

Running VI 3.0 with 3.24 firmware. No lockups. In the first 6hrs, the rom needs to settle. Whenever I rebooted, my screens would jumble and the Nova restore widget function wouldn't work. I had to redo my screens at least 3 times yesterday. But a full 12 hrs in, the rom settled. And I never had a random reboot or lag.

htc sensation wifi error

yes I have tried almost everything, like flashing custom roms or stock ruu almost everyday with different variations. flashing kernels, tweeks, so on and so on.
It works somehow and it disconnect itself after a while or totally stucks in "wireless is turning on". After it get online it makes couple of reboots and it gives "wireless is turning on" error again. I can use the phone for days but wireless never gets on.
The funny point is when wireless on and screen is locked and screen is off. When I attempt to click screen lock button, sometimes it never gives light but I can see that The screen is on and I can move the ring and do whatever i want but it is very hard to see actually. I have to put on light on to see the pictures but it doesnt happen when wifi is off or gives error.
and another funny point is I can swipe down upper bar when screen is locked. I can do bypass.
What the hell is going on my phone? no idea really

lol, i don't know a solution for the screen/wifi issue. but lockscreen pulldown status bar is a new feature of ICS, not a bypass
to make it easier to access your notifications

we have the same issue i even downgrade to GB but still the same problem did have the wifi issue when you did OTA ?

the problem has come after I updated my phone to ICS since february I guess. I have almost tried everything on everyday but still having issues. I am sure it is all about software problem, nothing is wrong with hardware

me too i am exactly like you now i am running GB and i ma flashing the radio

I think most of the people having same issues and problems but having no solution for that? it is just ridiculous.
Is there anybody out there that can help us please.
thanks

Hi,
Have a look at THIS THREAD
Particularly # 3 and Extra 1

I have this problem as well...whatever I do, I can't get wifi to work anymore...I reflashed firmware, tried several different roms, I followed the guide in the aforementioned post...nothing helps...it always says "Error" after some time.
Is there anybody who knows what to do?

Struggled with same problem for months...gave up
I had the same problem with my wi-fi and bluetooth. Both would get stuck on "turning on" mode and never come on. Everything else worked fine. I too flashed ROMS, Kernels, RUU's etc. to no avail. SO I GAVE UP. After 2 months without wifi i couldn't anymore so i called HTC, they asked for my S/N and IMEI and confirmed I was still under warranty, so I un-rooted, went back to S-ON, flashed the newest official T-Mobile RUU and shipped the phone away. I called today and they said the MOTHERBOARD was being replaced and I should have it back this week! Woot-Woot! Try giving HTC a call...worst thing that happens is they say NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY...but you won't find out till you give em a call...*shrug.

I have the same problem with the lock screen and wifi. Except for me the wifi is always on "Error". It doesn't say anything else it just says error. It started happening after a system update failed to install. An update would come up and reboot my phone to try and install it. So it would start up ext4 recovery and ext4 would do some stuff and then reboot again. After boot I was asked again if I wanted to install the update. I repeated this process a couple of times before deciding I had enough and deleted the update.
Wifi has been on Error ever since. Everything else works fine.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm on a HTC Sensation XE stock rom but HTC Dev unlocked and perm rooted.

find your firmware.zip,extract the boot.img from it,place it the file where adb is and then do the commands

Hi buddy.. I was having the same problem as you with the wifi error. Also my phone was restarting by itself. what I did was that I removed the SD card and left the phone without it. It worked for me. After that my wifi was working perfectly and no more restarts. I had a 8GB SD Card before, maybe with this new update this 8GB SDcard was too heavy for the phone. I running a 2GB SDcard now with no problems. Please let me know if it worked to you as well.. Good luck!!

I tried this, but it did not work. I'm not sure if my problem is a hardware failure or a software problem. 3 weeks after I got this phone, it got water damaged. Full of water! I took out the battery, letted it dry for some hours and turned it on. Everything worked! Only thing to see from the water, was the spot, that shows if it have got water, was 3/4 red. Everyting went good within a month or so. Then in feburary/march it stopped working (wifi). The same thing for Bluetooth. It's just writing "turns on" wifi or the bluetooth, and after 5-10 minutes it say "error"
Edit: The reason why I wonder about if it's a hardware/software failure is, I do not remember if it came within a install of an costum rom or it just happened out of now where
Any sugestions?

I had the same problem, this is how i fixed it : first flahs 4EXT recovery, not clockwork, then get the rom you want and a super wipe, go into recovery, turn smartflash on in tools. Superwipe, then let it reboot, turn smartflash on again, and flash the rom

Ignore this info. What you need to do is log into your router hub & change the wifi signal Ch from auto to say, number 4 or summat, guarantee that's your problem.
