Hi, its been a year since I am in this rooting process and changing Roms and kernels but for few days i'm noticing an issue not only on VIPER 1.60 (currently using it) but also on others. My phone takes long time to charge and the battery bar is all messed up. Shows different readings before and after restart and all the battery just drains with speed of light? Need advice, thanks

As a last step before getting a new battery, probably you could try placing a paper card or credit card between the battery and the back cover to see if there is an issue with battery positioning. I resolved similar issue with my phone this way.
If your battery is draining that fast, yes I would definitely look into buying another. My stock battery was awful, finally I broke down and got another, I'm very glad I did! It makes a big difference to have a good extended life battery! If I we're you, yes I would by another battery. Hope this is helpful. Best wishes.

Sometimes the problm is with the machine inside the phone. If that machine is malfunctioning then it will also make your new battry dead.
So confirm it first.

I had a similar issue, my battery wouldn't charge past 80%. I tried wiping my battery stats and everything, try the battery in a different phone if you can. I bought the 1900 MHA Anker on amazon. I get 6-12 hours more out of this battery than I did with my stock because it was so beat. Good Luck
Thanks everyone I will get new one ASAP and I think hardware except battery is sound

Charge your battery to 100%, reboot to recovery, wipe battery stats, and reboot.
Tried 100 of times but I think no luck I have been doing this for so many ROMs

Hi guys,
I somehow thought that calibration of my battery should be at a very low battery level (3 percent), and after that I've got some problems with my battery.
My phone now randomly turns off, even when the battery isn't empty. Often it's possible to just turn it on again with the power button, and when it's booted, it's all normal again. But sometimes it thinks the battery is at 3% (or some other low value) while before it turned off it was on (for example) 50%. When I reboot then (by myself), my battery widget shows it's at 50% again.
I recalibrated my battery afterwards a couple of times (this time at 100% battery), but it still turns off randomly, so one good recalibration (including the full discharge) isn't really possible, because my phone turns off.
Is my battery completely dead and should I order a new one? Or maybe it's possible to use somebody's batterystats.bin file? Or is there any other fix?
Thanks in advance
I'm having this same issue. Posted in general Sensation last night but haven't gotten any replies. Hopefully someone can figure it out.
Did you flash a custom kernel? Unity v8 is doing the same thing for me during certain processes, so I went back to v7. Works like a charm
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Mine have happened on stock kernels.
Nope, I've never flashed any custom kernels. If anybody knows something, please let us know
have you tried wiping your battery stats?
Either wipe stats like he said or try battery calibration. Make sure battery is fully charge if you can before using it. Link here> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16415095 or just search battery calibration on market.

Got the same probs. Using ardhd 3.0.1 with stock. Had the same problems on previous roms. Haven't gotten any replies either. I've tried wiping my battery stats when fully charged, didn't help. Wondering if I should try to revert to stock and see if it disappears.
Any of you guys hade any luck fixing this?

I just recently experienced this issue as well with stock Rom with perm root. I switched to ardHD 3.0.3 and haven't had issues yet...will report if there is anymore issues with new setup.
I went back to complete stock 3 days ago. Stock ruu and s-on. Was fine the first day and yesterday. But tonight it started up again. I'm debating if I should just buy an extended battery or go to tmobile and hope they'll exchange my phone even tho its past 30 days

So I got myself a Sensation XE at the weekend, left it saturday night, was off Sunday morning. Left it Sunday night, was off this morning.
So I'm assuming I have the same issue as you guys have been having.
Is there any way to fix it without rooting/flashing or buying a new battery?
As if I need to do any of those, I might as well just send it back for a replacement. Which I don't really want to do as it'll take days/weeks.
Thanks!
When I contacted htc about the problem they just sent a new battery. I didn't have to return the phone

Tried out buying a new battery like the Anker Battery 1900mAh.
This worked absolutely fine for about 2 weeks.

Now i ordered this Mugen Power 1800mAh Battery.
Hopefully resolving that problem now for good.
I will report as soon i tested the Bat for a few weeks.

But, haven't seen any battery posts for recent T-MO ICS update, seen some for custom ROMs thou...
I believe we got a power hog... Charged that thing to 100%.. 2 hours later it was at 85%, basically doing nothing.... couple of calls. Using display at 75% on manual setting. Oh.. Using Anker 1900mA battery.
If you ran in to the same problem, please confirm. What other settings to play with to lower the power consumption???

Thanks guys for your input.
I have my Anker battery for as long as I have my Sensation, 9 month.
I did cycle it 3 -4 times initially and it gave me a great life on GB.
Yesterday I looked through some settings and made changes.
Got Auto sync off (manual mode), some other changes that (don't remember now, getting older...LOL) keep phone looking for services, I believe location. Charging now and will see how it holds.
Will report if there any progress.

Tried any Kernels?
I was to impatient to wait for the TMO ICS update so I slapped on a custom ICS rom but with this kernel by Faux123: (agh, won't let me link up until I have more posts...just search his nick and his posts)
The battery life is insanely good with the Intellidemand...
Check into seeing if it is compatible with your version, maybe by emailing/msging Faux123.

Im sorry but i dont really rely on a kernel for battery life i have flashed tons of em and let them stabilize and never really seen the difference no offence meant to the dev's of course...
Sometime you just need to Re-Calibrate your battery or do a new fresh install which works quite good..

Unfortunately, there is a lot more going on with our sensations than just a bad battery. I recently bought one on cl. After diff and trying a few roms, I wiped battery stats with 4ext recovery. Low and behold, 3 hr battery life. After numerous attempts at figuring out what went wrong, I flashed the stock recovery after restoring a stock 3.32 backup. Flashed the tmo RUU. And tried that for a day. Shimmed the battery with a piece of credit card, just in case, and I was good. Unlocked the boot loader once again, and restored a backup. I'm now at 18% after 11 hrs. Not really sure what happened but I would recommend going back to completely stock and shimming the battery. Good luck

Please guys I need help. My phone was running smoothly with no issues before. Then I finished surfing the net after that the phone keeps on shutting down at a setting interval when am in the middle something or not. I have done some things I know to bring it back to its proper working conditions but still, no improvement and I have restored to the original backup system software because I was running on custom rom before the incident and it still happening.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app
Tried another battery, ejecting your sd and SIM cards or if the shut down happens with a charger plugged in? If yes then do a super wipe, flash fresh firmware and ROM then test before restoring anything, check all MD5 before flashing.
If it still shuts down with fresh everything then maybe a hardware fault, return to stock and do a warranty repair.

Try THIS fix. Maybe your battery is loose
I have not tried a new battery I will do that and see what happens next. Because I also suspect the battery, I was having 87% battery life when the phone shutdown unexpectedly and I powered it on again the battery became 13%, I think the battery is the culprit here. I will try what you said and see.

Strange of the battery to go down so fast. Yes you should probably try another battery
Ad he said try different battery . My mugen battery was behaving like that then my device turned black and I couldn't boot, no charge light was detected! I switched batteries back to Anker now my device is running fine. Strange because the mugen was a new battery but sometimes this happens. So yes definitely try another battery.

Yeah!!! You guys are great I appreciate the ideas you guys contributed. What I did is I scratch the surface of the battery and attached a small piece of paper on the back of the battery to enable it stay firmly in the housing. Since then it has not shut down and the battery is even lasting longer now. I am still observing it and I will bring a feedback later.

Hi guys, I jsut want to share my experience about random reboots...For about 4 month I had this problem with every rom I tried, changed battery but nothing so I sent my device to HTC and they changed motherboard; when they sent it back, problem wasn't solved but after a couple of week I had a clean install of inspiration without restoring my backups via TitaniumBackup (I erased them)...since then no more random reboots with any rom I tried...I just want to say that if this hardware method doesn't fix reboots, consider corrupted app backups
Had random reboots either, by replacing the battery with was 2 years old with an anker suddenly the problems dissapeared all. This trick shouldn't help really but yeah thanks.

Buy an Anker battery, especially if your stock one is ~2 years soon.
Also adjust CPU clock speeds and use apps like Greenify.
Stop flooding the development thread !
u got the General and the Troubleshooting
but this one is Fu&^%$ Sacred
I confirm it worked for my Sensation 4G with even Anker 1900mah. Months ago I used original battery then had random reboots. I bought the anker 1900mah battery, the problem went out a couple of days ( maybe because Anker is a bit bigger than original battery), however later it returned... so I searched for many solution and saw this... I tried with my anker and now for 6 months I have had no more random reboots...

I had my Sensation XE sent in for repairs (Volume button fell off). The shop lend me a Sensation XL. That thing had crazy random reboots. And I fixed it by wedgeing in a piece of folded paper between the battery top and the phone. Only because you could almost slide the battery around in its "seat".
Now I have an unorginal battery for my Sensation. Its a little bit taller and wider, I almost have to force it in. Thats way im sure the few reboots I have are kernel / rom related.
