Hello people, In a last few days I went through an uncertain and wierd issue with my battery.
Now, allow me to explain the situation.
It happened around this new year, suppose if I charge my battery to 100% and then use my device even for 10 mins (note: all this has been performed without installing any app, with fresh ROM installations by full wipe and using the stock kernel in every case) when my battery discharged to 91%, the point is even if I leave my phone on standby, the battery would last at a maximum of 2-3 Hours.
Now, If during this procedure I power off and re insert the battery, the battery level would suddenly drop to any random percentage, sometimes even 1 or 2%, directly from 80%.
Quiet wierd isn't it? Anyone who has gone through the same situation could please help? Or any ideas that you people have?
This is really Important cause my phone is nothing with a charger at the moment, I can't carry it anywhere.
On a side note, I have tried every other JB, ICS and GB ROMs for testing this issue, even the stock ones but unfortunately the same results
Any help is much much appreciated. Thank you
I think issue is with the battery, you should buy a new one and do the procedure of insert and reinsert, it's happened with me too but i was on HTC Wildfire S.
Try to change the battery or any of your friend have nexus s, you can take him from just for checking..

Its done this before but last night it did it again. Turned it off and disabled fast boot. Plugged it in to charge and wake up this morning and the device is extremely hot and the indicator light is blinking red or orange. The battery was only at 88%. I then pulled the battery waited 20 minutes and it powered on and I continued to charge it. Of course after that it was fine. I have not rooted the phone in any way. Anyone have any reasons to why its doing this? I don't think its a bad battery because my battery life is fine. Thanks
anyone have any suggestions?
I had the same problem when I first got my phone, I phoned my provider and he said that shouldn't happen. It was replaced straight away.
Thanks for your reply. However, if I replace it, that would be my fourth one. Its not doing this every time. I didn't do a reboot for over a week though. If I call up T-Mobile regarding this issue would they send me a refurbished one?
I am beginning to loose faith in the wonderful HTC Sensation. Really of going with the Galaxy S 2 when it hits T-Mobile next month.

All phones have their problems...I read you should calibrate the battery. Also it will improve the more you use it.

I did as it did the first night I had it. Up until this morning it was fine. I just worry its gonna do this once in a while. Thanks for the response.
EDIT: T-Mobile was absolutely no help. They said I can contact the manufacturer and go that route or send it since its under warranty but that would get me a refurbished phone.
I contacted HTC and they agreed to send me a brand new battery. Will report back if this issue happens again.

I probably got a defective battery. Was actually thinking of purchasing the Evo 3D battery.
I purchased the evo 3d battery myself and I have no complaints, plus its 200 mAh more than the sensations battery so that's a plus in itself....

I had the same issues with Nexus 1, even the crazy touchscreen when charging or right after!
So it must be HTc hardware
mine blinks orange-green-orange-green... and shutdowns if I do not turn off screen... esp. when playing angry birds while charging...
Hi.
i have problem with my phone. minimum once a week he itself turn off.
When then I turn on the phone and enter the pin code, is still alive. but i muss unlock phone with pattern and then he die.
only helps remove the battery.

Uhm, it seems a battery issue. Did you try with another battery?

I had a similar problem and it was the battery that was causing it, got a new battery everything good

I had a problem with this once with a bad flash of a rom. Once I reflashed the rom it quit the problem and I didn't replace the battery..
On a side note though, check amazon for specials for the batteries for these phones. I got twin 1900mah batteries with charger for less than 30 bucks US. It's worth the investment and added battery life through the day.
It is ALWAYS recommended to do a superwipe before you flash a ROM.
Try superwipe, maybe it might solve your issue.
Cheers.
Hey,
I have had an HTC sensation for about a year, just recently it has started to not fully charge even when plugged in over night. It happens on both my phone and my wife's, I have tried flashing different roms and wiping battery stats with no success. I will plug the phone in most nights about 11 P.M. and get up about 6 A.M and it only has about 82% charge. I have tried several different charges as well.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Out of curiosity, have you tried switching to another battery to see if it's the battery or the device it's self? If you put a new battery in and the problem still persists then it's likely a problem with the device. But I would check to make sure it's not the batteries going bad. Strange both devices are doing same thing!
Sent from my HTC Sensation
It does indeed sound like the battery, maybe you can try your wife's battery in your phone?
Because both devices are doing same thing I would NOT use wife's battery to test. I'd get a new one for the two of you. Hopefully it will solve the issue. Are you both still using stock battery? You might want to give anker a try. It's a extended battery and under 20 dollars! I'm really hoping this will solve the issue. Let us know keep us posted. Best wishes!

Yes we are both still using stock batteries. Thanks! After your initial post I found 2 Ankers on amazon for $30 so I am going to try that, I will post my results when I receive them a few days from now. What was so strange was that it went from charging to full in 2 to 3 hours to 82% in 7 hours.
It was the battery, a cell had gone bad. I purchased the Anker batteries (1900) and it charges in about an hour and a half and lasts 16 hours on full use, plus I sit in an office where it searches for 4g all day if I allow it. Over all it was a vast improvement and all I had was a bad battery.
Thanks for your help
So glad you got it fixed! :thumbup:

Hi everyone,
I dont know what happened with my HTC, when I woke up this morning, the phone wont turn on at all. Even if I connect it to charger, the notification light doesnt on. I tried remove the battery and reboot, but nothing works.
My phone was rooted, S-OFFed and running [ROM]Viper 1.3.5 and still working last night, I didnt do anything to it (at least when I was sleeping).
Could anyone tell me what happened to it and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance
How long was it on the charger?
Sent from my Og Evo 4G
I put it on charger for about 30min, the light doens even go on, like, no charging at all. The phone still wont turn on
Could be the battery. I have had this very same thing happen to me with a new battery. No charging light at all, no sign of life what so ever! As soon as I poped in a new different battery, my phone sprang to life once more. It was very strange because the battery I was using had charge left last I checked and it was on the charger. When I checked the phone it had no life at all. No charging light either. If I we're you, I'd try a new fully charged battery, to see if that will solve your issue. Don't mess with the device before you try the new battery. My issue was the same as yours and a new fully charged battery solved my problem. Hopefully that's all it will take to also solve yours. It certainly can't hurt to try! It worked for me. If the new battery does not solve the issue then you have a different problem all together. But do give it a try and see what happens. Best of luck.

Well, I cant mess with it since it doesnt startup. Thanks for your idea, I will try it later, I have no spare battery here atm.
Yeah just like the post above says, maybe with another battery it will work. Check Amazon for batteries theyre cheap but who knows how long it would take to get to where you live. Best of luck

Hi there, you can order a good extended battery like Anker for under 20 bucks. I really hope the battery does the trick. When this happened to me, it was so strange because I was using a NEW
Battery and it had around 60% charge when I plugged it into my charger . Then when I went to check the phone after changing for about a hour it was black. I took it off charger and it had no life at all. I thought maybe the charger didn't connect properly so I plugged it back in, then I noticed I didn't have any charger light like I usually have. Phone was completely dead and it would not charge. Strange. I had another fully charged new battery I kept as a spare, when I put that battery in, the phone came back to life and the charging light worked again! I have not had ANY problems since. It's been about 5 months since that happened to me. I never used that battery again. I just threw it away. It must have been something with the battery. It would not even charge! No lights or anything! I'm really hoping this is your problem also because it's easily fixed. Please keep us updated and let us know if new fully charged battery solves your issue too. It sounds exactly like what happened to me, so I'm hopeful you can solve this with another battery. I wish you the best! Good luck!

It was the battery guys, I bring it to the HTC, and they tested it with new battery, didnt work also. So, they put in a new mobo, new battery, then it worked. They insisted to keep it a few more days to serviced it though. I forgot to tell you guys it still under warranty, sorry a lot.
P.S.: They even gave me a HTC Desire as a temp phone

Although I can't be 100% sure, it sounds like your battery... What battery are you using?
I suggest you buy an original Anker 1900Mah battery, and see how you go.
you need a new battery, your battery is getting old, that is why random reboots are popping......how long did u have the battery? If u have the battery for almost a year and a half, time to start changing
i have stock battery and it s almost two years old. Time to change battery ha ?

YES! Please get Anker Battery from eBay or Amazon. It will make your life more easier

battery lifetime does not only depend on age, but also on usage.
for my knowledge (correct me if i am wrong) lion batteries suffer age and heat (so usage in my opinion has a little impact only). i received my htc sensation some mounths ago from my brother that changed phone and the battery was swollen. in fact the phone shuts down very much. i have an anker battery from some days and the problem disappeared check if he battery is swollen, if yes change it!

They are affected by chage and discharge as well. The charge and discharge is hard on the battery and causes it to wear out. But that's also how you use it. So basically using it wears it out. Same as car tires. They will last a long time if you keep the car parked. But the more you drive the faster the tires wear out.
