[Q] htc sensation wont turn on

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.

Tried it, still no luck any other solutions?

Are you able to get a PC to recognise the phone via USB i.e. is adb working?
It sounds like a screen issue, it may be booting under this.

Can someone please help, i would just call for a replacement but i dnt want to send it in and they fix it and see its rooted, and then they charge me

Hopefully its so fubar thats they cant check to see, or waste their time...

I had it on mine to, on the period that it wasnt rooted yet, just send it to HTC, its a factory defect, they can't blame it on root access.

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

Sensation randomly shuts down when not in charger

Hi guys,
My Sensation, with original ICS, has been working flawless until a few days it go, when it started to randomly shut down. This only happends while the charger is not plugged in. I tried to reset to facory settings, but the same thing happend (even before installing any apps).
Anyone had the same problem?

Same thing here!!
It doesnt happen when i disable bluetooth and push mail.
Need to find out which one is causing the shutdowns.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA

Sounds like a hardware issue. Either battery is bad, or the maincard. Often water/shock damage.
Try a Anker battery, it wont set you back many dollars anyways.

I had random shutdowns - There seem to be a few threads around about it, some suggest repartitioning and reformatting the SD card (which seemed to work for me) and some go for some odd solutions like sticking a bit of card at the base of the battery to push it against the pins a bit more solidly.

are you guys having these issues?

the notification led is constantly flashing green, i can't figure out how to turn it off. i don't know if its on for the signal or what, it flashes wether i have all the notifications on or off. when using the camera, every time the phone refocuses it makes a tick noise. also when i shake the phone i can hear something that moving around, and it sounds like its in the camera. after fully charging my phone for the first time it went to 99% and after taking it off the charger for 7 hours its still at 99%, which would be excellent if i didn't think it was lying to me.

Hopefully you didn't unlock the BLer and send that back for a new one...

S-Off breaking Vibration?

Hey Guys, I finally got my Sensation back from repair, of course its completely stock now. I sent it to repair because Vibration didn't worked anymore. I thought it could be possibly got cracked by myself applying s-off with junoptobear (i don't have any idea if its correctly written). Do you have any experience with that?

Edit: My Sensation is a Vodafone Germany branded Device with ICS (4.0.3)

different roms have different settings for the vibration feedback, but if your on stock then maybe your phone is still broken? or it works fine now? also make sure haptic / vibrate feedback in settings is checked.

I think you got me wrong, it got repaired and its working now but I don't know how it broke. There are 2 reasons I could think of why vibration broke, the first one is that datrepair (german HTC repair partner) ****ed up the vibration while repairing the cracked screen on my device before it was rooted or myself applying s-off. I don't know if it worked before because I didn't really used the phone before.

I suspect it was the screen repair that caused the issue. I recently went through juopunutbear to S-OFF my replacement/replacement phone. I can't see how that process would have screwed it up.

No. S-off did not break your vibration.

Vibration and haptic feedback is coded in kernel afaik.. And soff process don't touch that.. In fact soff only modifies bootloader and some flags to get permanent soff

I thought it could've broken the hardware (the wire-trick). I did it like described on one of the pins and the sd casing (I'd say I did nothing wrong because it was s-off after that). So my exact question should be: Could the wire trick possibly damage the vibration motor? I'm sorry that I was not that precise.

the wire trick technically does grounding on that pin ..which takes the phone to download mode for some time after first tap and then back to normal with the next tap..thats all ..i dont see any way that can dmage the vibration motor ...and afaik i havent seen any facing this issue after SOFF

Thats what I wanted to know, thank you, I'll s-off my device again with no fear.

I can confirm 100% that after screen change motor stop work in HTC Sensation. Maybe different part revision, wich i doubt is the case cuz replacement part is working fine and picture is perfect.
What is funny, i try fix this vibration problem after screen change for a few days now, replaced with new on PCB at the end just to see that it isnt workin again
By accident, when i got call i drop phone on table, maby 5cm height drop, and vibration start working for few sec then stop again, and it always go on if i hit phone at time when it should be working.
Still havent found solution to this.

I rebooted the phone and went to the recovery, and I still having that same problem in the 4Ext Recovery! it was selecting the options just like when i'm on the rom! so I guess this is not a Rom issue..

Hi,
No, it's not.
Use your phone all the way until it shuts down. Then remove the battery and the SIM and let it be so over a night; Afterwards, plug your phone in and let it recharge fully, but BEWARE YOU WILL NOT TOUCH THE SCREEN AT ALL IN WHOLE THIS PROCESS!.
Then come and inform us about the result.

I have the same problem with my Sensation Xe.

AW: [Q] Sensation acting weirdly! help please!
I once had something similar cause of one app going crazy.
Did you try to boot in safe mode. And see how the system behaves?
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app

I've tried many many things, I booted into 4ext recovery, the screen was acting the same, just like someone is touching the screen randomly, last night I've formatted everything and installed a stock rom using an RUU.... (RUU-Pyramid-ICS-hTC-Europe-3.33.401.53-Radio-11.76A.3504.00U-11.24A.3504.31-M-release-280871-signed.exe) and the system still acting exactly the same way... I'm wondering if there's some humidity between the gorilla glass and the LCD screen... I've put the phone face down to my PC's cooler fan during the whole night... nothing changed.. now the screen is under the sun.. maybe that could solve this stupid issue...

If you think there is some humidity in the phone. best to dry is to use normal dry cooking rice.
Take a big plastik box, put the rice in. lay the phone on the rice and close the box. leave it at least 12 hours.
The rice will get all water out.
If you like you can warm the rice before you put the phone on by 15 sec. in the microwave, so just to get the rice a bit warm about 40°C
For safe Mode of the sensation look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1593350

After more than 12 hours in the rice, the phone is still acting the same! I just want to take a hammer and smash it down...
