HTC Sensation Weird Battery Problem! - HTC Sensation

Ever since I've used the Battery Calibrator from Damo Software, my HTC Snesation (on ARHD 7.2 with Faux123's kernel) has been resetting its battery level to 100%or 99% whenever I restart. Also, when it reaches battery low (I am usually not aware of this because the battery showing is not 4% or 5%) it restarts and then restarts and then won't open (stuck on beats audio page). However, I can still access recovery and always have to flash a nandroid backup every few days.

that started to happen exactly after using the Battery Calibrator or not?
did you try a different battery to see if the issue persists?

I don't have another battery replacement and it started happening a few days after using the Battery calibrator.

I have flashed a new rom (vipers 1.63) but the problem still persists and I think it could be due to the battery. So I'll get a new battery but anyone can give me more info on his kind of problem.

What's wrong with my phone?

Ok. I've had my sensation since day one. And some times I have a problem where the phone just turns off while using it. And then I have to pull the battery in order for it to boot completely. Before my phone tirned off i was at about 50%. When i got it to turn back on i was at about less then 10%. I've wiped batter stats. I have the anker 1900 battery it even does this with stock battery
Hmmm I see others are having this battery drain issue just like you. It seems the CPU or something is getting stuck in a on or hyperactive state. This is causing the device to malfunction. If I was you I would request a replacement cause from my personal experience with my first Sensation it will eventually die completely. I was typing a text message when it locked up and then shut down on it's own and that was all she wrote.
Might be a bad battery ever tried some differents one ?

Stock battery
Did you try to go back to the stock battery?
You can never know with those custom batteries...
what rom are u using ? stock or custom ?

Serious battery issues

My phone keeps shutting off all the sudden like the battery is suddenly dieing. It doesn't matter what the battery percentage is. I'll manage to reboot it after a few tries and every time the battery percentage jumps around. I'll boot up into recovery and can play around in there all day without the phone shutting off but once I leave recovery it keeps happening randomly. The only time it won't reboot is when I have it plugged in (this is how I narrowed it down to a battery issue).
I've tried charging it all the way up but it still happens. I've wiped battery stats and have done a full wipe and fresh install. It happens with custom kernels AMD the stock kernel.
Is my battery fried or is there something else I can do?
Sorry for any typos I'm on my phone now.
I had similar problems. By chance, do u use juice defender? I was troubleshooting my issues and when I stopped using JD my shutoff problems disappeared.

Nope no apps for the battery or cpu. The only "tweaking" app I use is sd booster. I don't see how that could do anything though.
Try reseting battery data in recovery

Randomly turns off

Hello,
My htc sensation randomly turns off.
The first press of the power button causes the screen to light up a bit then turn off. Then I have to press and hold the power button to turn it on.
This started happening recently. It happens randomly.
At first I thought it had something to do with my current ROM, so I changed it, but it still keeps happening.
Any advice?
Thanks

More information needed, What rom are you using now, what kernel are you using now - sounds to me like a kernel problem
This happens to me too. It started when I upgraded from GB to ICS (Stock Sense 3.5 ROM to Virtuous Quattro). It is really annoying because it happens often if I want to accept a call.
What I did was to completely wipe my phone with 4ext, formated SD Card and formated the phone filesystem to ext4 in 4ext recovery. Then it did not happen for 5 days. Now it starts again. I hope its not a hardwaremalfunction or issue.
ROMs I tried but it still happened:
- Virtuous Quattro
- Virtuous Inquisition
- OpenSensation
- MIUI AOSP from blackwing
- OrDroid 8.1
Maybe I should try the new firmware 3.33 or reflash 3.32 or flash 3.32R2
The strange thing is you cant really recreate it. It happens too unregular.
reflashing firmware sometimes solves the issue
either you can reflash your firmware or ..try an updated firmware
I just flashed 3.33 Universal in. Lets see what it will change
I have a similar problem but not sure what it is. My sensation will charge to a full 100% and once it lowers under 70% it will shut off. When I turn it back on the battery will be some outrageous percentage like 5% or 14%. It immediately dies after every turn on never actually reaches 1%. I've fully wiped flashed several roms so its not software I think. Maybe I need a new battery? Any opinions ?

Perhaps worth a try:
Insert a little piece of paper between the top of the battery and the phone. This will push the battery against the pins and has been known to solve all kinds of silly battery problems.
i read it on a thread here in xda and its worked for me...my phone used to switch off randomly while in my pocket..its a battery issue..remove the back cover and push the battery down..you will notice that there is room for it to go further down..just wedge a piece of visiting card in the gap and see if it works for you..it has for me..

I would definitely purchase a new battery. Get a long lasting battery like Anker. I really love my Anker battery its made a huge difference for me! I'd do it soon! Before the battery dies completely! Best of luck hope this helped.

shuts off randomly (AGAIN!)

Hi,
About a month or two ago I think, I've had a problem that my phone randomly reboots.
But for now my phone shuts off. I've tried many things so I don't know what to do right now.
Put some paper between the battery and case for better connection.
Also it's only when my phone is beneath the 20%
Maybe change my battery or just go for the One X?
Thanks

maybe your batttery is dying
It might just be a conflict since you flashed a new rom
Some say that wiping battery stats doesn't do anything, so just download the app battery calibration from the market and charge your battery then go into the app and hit calibrate battery
I had the reboot issue on some custom Roms, and shutdown when the battery safe Plan is reached - decrease the battery safe to 5% or lower.
PS. since i am in fully stock condition (was in repair) no problems.

Sensation Weird Battery Glitch

Hi, currently Im facing a somewhat weird issue. Firstly, my battery is not able to reach 100%. Im not talking about the charger "purposely" doing so, but the led remains orange for hours, and stuck at 99%. Secondly, the battery sometimes increases and decreases at its own "free will", most of the time decreasing by 2%. When left on standby, the battery reaches 50% from full charge in just a matter of 5 or 4 hours.
Its not the battery since I recently purchased an anker battery and facing the same problem still. Anyone can provide a valuable input?:laugh:
Rom: VenomS

I am facing the same issue as well. As far as I know, Sensation battery stats remain wierd with almost all custom ROMs. The back up is quite fine as last 40% of the battery last quite long. I have tried calliberating battery and it didn't changed a thing.

Are you on a non-sense based rom? I think the rom is not the issue, perhaps the kernel?

I currently on ViperS JB with Sense 4+. I like the feel of sense so never tried any other ROMs. It could be an issue with kernel but I am not sure of it.

At least im not alone
Is it possible that sebastian's kernel is the fault? Any suggestions from anyone else?
I have another issue with the battery
When its charging it gets normal until 50% after that the numbers increase very slow but i think is fully charged because if I reset the phone then it shows 100% and works normal.
Also if y use it with battery > 50% with no reset, the % keeps in the same number until it starts to drop normally.
I changed the batery thinking that will solve the problem, but nothing changed with the new battery.
Its not a critical issue, but its annoying
