[Q] my touch 4g slide pyro ICS no turning on

Hello.
I installed the PYRO ICS. it works great. thanks for all the effort. I have one issue, If my phone shuts down due to law battery, it does not turn back on by pressing power button. i have to remove battery and sim card and only then it powers on.
This is reproducible every time. i have wiped the cache once and also have 5.0.2.7 cowomod.
Please advise.
Thanks.

you mean after you recharge it?
or just after it shuts down? because that would be intentional behaviour then

off course after charging it

Are you running a stock battery or an Anker? If I run my Anker down to nothing and it shuts down it won't
charge on USB. I have to pull it and put it on the external charger that came with my two batteries. I don't have this problem with the stock battery.

I am not sure of the different types of battery. I think my issue is that the phone does not turn on. it charges fine.
Thanks.

Stock battery is black and has HTC printed on it. The Anker is White and has, well, "Anker" printed on it. If you have a bad battery it could cause any number of issues. You might try flashing back to your stock nandroid and see if that helps (Isolating software issues from hardware symptoms).

Are you using the old madaco recovery? If so update your recovery in rom manager, that should fix it.

If your phone shuts down due to low battery, instead of taking the battery out to try to get it to go on, try this while having your phone plugged in:

I'm in pyro-ice too, and it works for me !
It also helps a lot when it freezes. I hope this helps.

i think your problem is different. Isnt the lights of your phone on the buttons still on when this happen? Are you sure the battery is off?
It might be "just" the blackouts of screen that some users have. I had some too, but changing to Trebuchet launcher seems to help with that. In the upcoming 1.0.2 release ROM will run Trebuchet, hopefully it will help with your problem.

I read your 1.1.0 thread where you mentioned that the phone cannot be turned on when plugged in. thats what i was doing. I didn't try removing the charger and then turn on. thanks for the help.

have an issue about powerin phone on when i completly drained my battery. after i put it for chargin, notification led was blinking for a long time not like usually (u cant power phone on before orange light is solid).reloaded battery and was waiting like for 10-15 min for led stay solid. gud thing its finally happen.
was on pyr`o`ice 1.0.1 or 1.0.2 dont remember exactly

Which battery are you using?

Randomly shutting off

For some reason my sensation appears to have gotten into the habit of randomly turning itself off, and I can't figure out why.
It's rooted, and was using InsertCoin's GB rom for a bit until ICS roms got more stable. I've tried InsertCoin's ICS rom and also Virtuous Inquisition, and had been using the 3.24 firmware. I'm also using an anker battery that's three months old.
I first noticed the random shut downs on the ICS InsertCoin rom, but I'd been using it for a few weeks before it started happening, no apps had been changed or updated at around that time, it simply started shutting off. No menus or dialogs, just an instant loss of power, and could happen at any time, in my pocket when sleeping, in a call, or otherwise active in my hand. Totally random. I could turn it back on, but more often that not it'd just die again within a few seconds of finishing the bootanimation. It appeared to happen most when the battery level was below say 50%. The only thing that seemed to stop it at the time was plugging it into a power source, as then it'd be fine.
Thinking it could have been down to the rom's power management stuff (and me getting sick of the frequent sense reboots anyway), I then tried another rom, Virtuous Inquisition. And as soon as I'd flashed that and set all my apps up again (backups created while using the ICS InsertCoin rom right before flashing the new rom), it ran perfectly for weeks. So that seemed to suggest it was the old rom to blame.
Except recently the random shutdowns have started again, exactly the same behaviour as before. I then thought it could have been the SebastianFM undervolted kernels if my phone didn't like being undervolted, but flashing the regular ones made no difference either. I then found the new 3.30 firmware was available a few days ago, so flashed that. The phone instantly ran a bit quicker and had better mobile and gps reception, and it didn't seem to shut down randomly again. Until today that is.
What the hell could it be? It can't really be software because I've tried different roms, though they're probably based off the same leak. But if it was the rom, why haven't more people reported this issue? I've also tried different kernels and firmware, which haven't helped stop it shutting off either. I've checked the battery terminals and there isn't a loose connection, but could it be the battery itself at fault? Thinking about it, I fitted the anker battery before this started happening, but I'd had it a few weeks before the shutdowns started happening. I've not tried putting the standard battery back in yet as I quite like my battery lasting a day, but I suppose it's worth a shot if for some reason my anker is a dud. Is there any way I could check it?
What are your thoughts? I really want to get to the bottom of it...

Hi,
Do you have any apps on your sd card?
Apparently,this can cause problems.
Go to settings-->apps-->on sd card and untick anything there...

I do at the moment, but I've tried with all apps on internal memory and it made no difference, the shutdowns still happened. In fact I've found no issues with apps2sd on ICS roms whatsoever.

I had the EXACT same issue with ALL ROMS, GB and ICS. Like you it would begin when the battery was below 50% and everything:/ I just sent it to HTC the other day hopefully it gets fixed. And I doubt it was the battery because i was using the stock battery.
I was thinking about opening a thread about this were everyone would post their setup and every detail possible to get to the bottom of this. But i decided not to since it was most likely a hardware problem and would get flamed since there are already countless threads about someone complaining about this.

Well the stock battery is charging back up now anyway so I'll give it a go. I really don't want to have to send it back though given it's rooted, s-off, etc etc. I don't fancy trying to get it back to stock just to see if they might possibly fix it.

same here
Exactly same problem here with virtuous inquisition 3.5.0 and an banker battery...

A few days on with the standard battery, and no random shut downs yet. It's lasting me a day with moderate use too.

I have the same problem before. Sent back to Bell, and they can't fix it. Then I found this app called Captivate Keep Alive. It take a bit of the battery life and ram, but it solve the problem. The phone never shutdown by itself any more. Hope that helps.

damn, this is a good fix but uninstalled because the ongoing notification. I'm not buying the pro version when the developers might come up with a fix in their roms

Same problem here, the problem was more often with the anker battery than with the original battery.
Now i'm back to S-ON and stock roms, it isn't turning off anymore but the problem went over in rebooting...
Only thing i have to do is find an Vodafone RUU for the netherlands , because it was branded and then I will send it back to HTC...
Really annoying... sometimes people ask why they always get your voicemail -> phone turned off in my pocket again...

Unfortunately my issue was the other way round. Mine used to do it below 50%, not when fully charged. It also never happened when it was plugged in. It isn't down to the CPU going to sleep, as I could be using the phone at the time it happened, literally just as if the battery was pulled. Then if I turned it back on it would repeatedly shut off again, until plugged back in.
It's still fine on my standard battery by the way.

my dad on bell is experiencing this issue with his Sensation "4g" lol, with stock battery stock rom s-off stock stock stock.
constantly turning off in pocket, never heard of it happening while in use. waiting for ICS update, if it doesnt fix going for warranty.

Yup, if it's not the original battery, then that problem can happen quite often. Not just phones, it's other electronics also. I had a MacBook, I bought a battery from a third party and the computer shut off randomly. Same with an Asus laptop I bought afterwards and changed the battery.

Ok so I've been having this same problem myself since Christmas.. it started happening on my original battery and on various firmwares ,kernels and rims.. so I bought an anker battery..
It was fine then for a week or two but started happening again.. I read oh about 10 different threads on this subject and what works for me to stop this is switching 3g gsm mode from auto to 3g only.. haven't had a problem while this is switched.. coverage in my house isn't great so I hope there is a permenant fix for this soon

Exactly the same problem.. Turns off when in pocket, hand and even when kept aside .
And Everything's stock. Battery, version etc etc.
Still can't figure out what the problem is.

It can also happen with a standard battery if it's faulty. Get HTC to send a replacement.

Mine is still having it... really annoying, even with the new ICS. Everything is stock now.
I also want to send it back to HTC, but I think they are going to test it first... chance is high that it wont shut off then -> phone back and the problem is still there..... That would be an endless story

have you guys seen this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475602
Seems kind of silly to have two parallel conversations on the same topic...

I had this exact problem on a stock battery with any rom. The fix that worked for me was changing the network settings from Auto WCDMA/GSM to WCDMA only. It was something to do with transition between 2g and 3g.
Bizarre problem and I hope there is a better fix available soon!

Not happy, I thought it was the battery but it's started doing it again, even with the standard battery instead.
Just had a look, and on my ics ROM I can't find the option to change the wcdma settings, so I can't try that. Not sure how that could cause it though, because it can even shut off while showing the boot animation! The only thing that seems to stop it is plugging it in, meaning it was no longer using the battery. Hence my assumption that the battery was at fault, but I've tried three different batteries on it now and it happened with any of them. Not much chance that all of them have exactly the same fault.
It can't be a loose connection since if it was I wouldn't be able to turn the phone back on in the first place, so what the hell could it be? I don't think I ever had the issue until going to ics, but I've tried different ROM's and the issue didn't go away. I've tried different kernels over time, and also upgraded the firmware and radio a couple of times too. None of which cured it, so I can't see how any of them could be the cause since it happens on all of them.
Any ideas?

[Q] Phone restarts randomly

Hi! Sorry if this was posted in the wrong forum, im new here :laugh:
I installed Fallout V 4.3.0 on my HTC DS and everything was working fine. But then suddenly my phone started to restart randomly. 1-2 minutes after booting it restarts again. If i take out the battery, wait 1 minute, and the put i back in the phone starts automatically again. Then another 1-2 minutes before restart loop.
This does not happen when the charger is plugged in. First thing i thought was a battery-issue, but this happened after flashing a ROM, so?
The phone was working fine on Fallout V 4.0.0, problem occured when updating.
-I wiped everything before installing the ROM.
-Have tried to reinstall Fallout, same problem
-Have tried to install Endimyon, same problem.
Information about the phone:
Current ROM: [Endymion V3.5|Sense 3.5|GB 2.3.5][kernel V2.2|ControlCenter]
Hboot: 6.98.1002
Radio: Default
S-off
Would appreciate some help, as my phone is useless atm! :crying:

Hello,
Maybe this should be posted in the Fallout thread (however you have to make 10 posts before being able to post in the dev section...). Up to the moderators to move your thread or not
I have had some similar issues after flashing Fallout, except my phone didnt reboot but it just went off a couple of minutes after i tuned it on. Although this just seemed to happen once. After I turned it on again, everything ok until I charged it to 100%, turned it on again - and same issue.
I then flashed CM9, same issue.
I read somewhere that it might be a charge level display issue : when you plug the phone in charge and unplug it right away, battery indicator will say it is charged to 100% - while obviously it is not...
Hope that will help you.

Yes. Do you think buying a new battery will do the trick?

Time for the really stupid question - but it is the old one and has been a problem for many people (including me).
Have you tried to insert a piece of paper, folded so it is 3 or 4 sheets thick, in between the battery and the back of the phone when you insert it? There is a manufacturing tolerance which can cause the battery to move and lose connection to the contacts sometimes.
It's probably not the solution for you, but it's a damn sight cheaper than buying a new battery immediately.

Thanks for answering, but i've tried that... The weird thing is that if i turn on the setting "screen always on", the phone does not restart. Or if the charger is plugged in. It only restarts some seconds after the screen goes black (inactivity) or if i press the power button.

Sadly I don't have an answer for you, however, I wanted to recommend that you avoid taking your battery out as that can cause damage to the emmc chip and thus brick your phone

Don't worry about the eMMC chip that the other poster mentioned - the problem is not caused by removing your battery - it is caused by not removing it properly, or by removing and reconnecting it quickly which means there is still residual charge when it reconnects.
Given the more detailed description, I assume you have a custom ROM running? If so then try two things
1) Try to decrease the under-voltage settings by 50mV
2) Increase the minimum CPU speed.
It sounds like the phone is going to sleep, but is slowed down too much and a reboot is forced.

Tried your suggestion, but no luck. Will buying a new battery give me any chance?

It might do. I would be tempted to find a phone shop and ask them if you can test your phone with a battery from them before buying it though - just in case it is something else causing this.

Hy Guys!
My DS is doing the same thing after I istalled the ICE DS 5.1. Funny thing is it started only after 1 day. It was working perfectly until it restarted after pressing the power button. I've tried different ROMs (CM 7.2; Fallout 5) but it happend almost instantly. Also tried the CPU voltage, no result.
I'm curious superlorre if the new battery did the trick?
Or is there a thread I missed where the problem got solved?
Thanks in advance.

Random Shutdown..slightly different view on this problem

Update 14/09/2012
Ok, I don't think what I had in mind helped. On 13th, I had multiple shutdown while trying to use cameras and today had multiple shutdown while on the phone to someone.
Think I will try doing something with Firmware next, now have a feel it might be the cause. I have no idea what is wrong, so just going to give with anything really. Will report back soon.
Update: 13/09/2012
After a complete drain the first time, by booting into recovery and bootloader (just want to remind everyone that this is because I can't make my phone boot). Then I left it on charging for the whole night, and I did this through wall charger NOT USB. I think I read it somewhere that they recommended this when calibrating your battery. Then the next day got 1 random shutdown, then I used it until it is completed drain again. Then followed by another full charge using wall charger. Today I have been using it for 6 hours and 21 minutes, haven't had a single problem. I don't know how not doing this would cause the phone to shutdown, but doing what I did seems to be working so far. I can actually rely on it for something now, say important phone calls.
Here was my reply to elvisypi:
Just to answer your question, it would random shutdown (not so much reboot) at anytime, at any battery percentage. I could do be doing anything, using any app, sometimes when I am not even using the phone.
I don't think it's a hardware/battery/ROM/kernel problem, I tried to say that it is a combined problem caused by flashing a phone too many times maybe or too often in a period of time. Also I was just about to update saying that calibrate battery does help. I had no reboot so far and this is only the second full charge and full drain I did.

After reading kushXmaster's post (click here) about how to add an object to help the battery stay in position (or get better connection), I found evidence that my issue was different. Before anyone ask, yes I have tried kushXmaster's idea, and no it did not work for me.
Ok, this is what I found. I had this problem not only with my current phone (htc sensation) but also with my previous phone (htc desire). So now thinking about it, it can't be the hardware problem. Cos the same problem happening to 2 different phones is pretty unlikely, not impossible, but very unlikely. The other thing was that my phones (both) didn't do this at the start when it was new, and it has only been like this a few months later (since I rooted it). For those who already guessed, yes I believe it's the flashing phones which is messing it up. However I don't know the reason or understand what is wrong with the phone. I have tried wipe battery stats and calibration, nothing worked, the only thing I found was when I go back to Sense 4 roms the problem seems better, but it is still there.
The last and most important reason why I am don't think this is a battery or hardware problem, is that my phone boots into bootloader or recovery with no problem (no reboot or shutdown). But when i tell it to boot normally it decides it hates me and turns it self off.
I am currently experiencing this problem, my phone is in recovery and I am waiting for battery to drain completely. Then gonna do calibration from there, hopefully this will work. I will keep you guys updated. Also if anyone has suggestions please leave a comment, and also let me know if anyone else is in the same position, good luck!

If you want to drain your device battery faster or more nicer way put screen timeout to never and like this you can still use your phone normal and drain the battery aswell just a little tip

If I could get it to turn on then I have a lot of ways to drain it quickly, but like I said it won't boot without shutting down before I could do anything. I turn it on, and I see the lock screen then bam it is shut down again.

If you get random reboots, shutdowns, than don't even bother to calibrate the battery. It has nothing to do with the calibration. Tell us more info, how do the reboots happen, how often, what are you doing when it happens, etc. It could be a kernel/ROM problem, charger, battery, hardware. Pls give us more detailed info

Thanks for the tip, but tbh if i know all that I don't really need to be asking anyone. For example, if it is a ROM problem, i just change ROM. The problem is that I don't know the cause and it seems to be everything and anything, it will shut down at different length of time, sometimes when it just starts, others 30 seconds after boot has completed. I am not looking for a solution, I am more wondering what everyone else has experienced when they say they have random reboots or shutdown, because after tones of research no one has provided anything that fixes my problem.
Just to answer your question, it would random shutdown (not so much reboot) at anytime, at any battery percentage. I could do be doing anything, using any app, sometimes when I am not even using the phone.
I don't think it's a hardware/battery/ROM/kernel problem, I tried to say that it is a combined problem caused by flashing a phone too many times maybe or too often in a period of time. Also I was just about to update saying that calibrate battery does help. I had no reboot so far and this is only the second full charge and full drain I did.

I had a same reboot problem and tried the kushXmaster's trick with the business card and did not worked for me either, at the beginning…
There was no reboot or shutdown in bootloader mode in my device either. When I flashed new firmware and ROM the problem was gone, but only for few weeks. I tried multiple ROMs also, but always with the same result. This is why I was skeptic with the business card battery fix also.
But then I read kushXmaster's thread again and put an alu foil as shown by Shreyas Jani and pulled the ground pin as described by StuartTheFish. I still do not understand what happened, but my phone is working perfectly more than a month now, without restarts and shut downs. I do not know which solution helped (not sure if I placed a business card correctly before). But I do not want to experiment with this anymore. I did not even removed a battery cover since that time and I'm glad it is all working now.
Hope this helps.

There was no reboot or shutdown in bootloader mode in my device either. When I flashed new firmware and ROM the problem was gone, but only for few weeks. I tried multiple ROMs also, but always with the same result. This is why I was skeptic with the business card battery fix also.
But then I read kushXmaster's thread again and put an alu foil as shown by Shreyas Jani and pulled the ground pin as described by StuartTheFish. I still do not understand what happened, but my phone is working perfectly more than a month now, without restarts and shut downs. I do not know which solution helped (not sure if I placed a business card correctly before). But I do not want to experiment with this anymore. I did not even removed a battery cover since that time and I'm glad it is all working now.
Hope this helps.

I experienced exactly what you experienced, when i flash a new ROM it is ok for a while. Then just gets to the stage where it happens again. I also tried almost every single ROM I could find, only sense 4 seemed to help but still didn't solve this problem completely.
Thanks for the help, really useful. If what I am trying now doesn't work then what you suggested will definably be my next hope. Cheers!
Edit: I know what you mean, if it works that back cover is not coming off.

same as you
I experience now typically the same problem as yours.
Did changing firmware helped? And how to do this?

Battery Issue

In the last few weeks i've been having major battery problems with my phone.
The percentage seems to be jumping around so it will show 100% very quickly when charging then quickly drop after not much usage. It always seems to reboot around 20% then I struggle to get it back on and when I do it will show 4% etc.
I've tried resetting the battery stats and two different roms but no luck. Is this likely a hardware issue? If so, could I get it looked at under warranty even though i've unlocked it? It's very frustrating...I like this phone but can't put up with this for much longer and if I have to replace it I might as well just get a nexus 4...

try calibrate your battery.
discharge it, and recharge it while the phone is off for few hours.

Whenever I power off it boots into cwm so can't calibrate. Does twrp behave like this as well?

I've yet to check but I asked in some other thread and the reply I got was while it was a known cwm issue the guy hadn't heard of twrp doing it.

Just switch to TWRP and indeed, it stays off ifyou plug the charger in. I'll try calbrating...

Even after calibration my issue still persists. The rom starts rebooting like crazy as the power drops down to 40% 'ish, the phone is becoming unusable. Is there anything else I can try to debug this? Different radio? ROM? replacement battery?

Have you opened the back of your phone? That really sounds like you have a connection issue with the battery but being that it's a little cable and not pins sort of seems unlikely but possible.

Well I've actually ordered a replacement battery off eBay so I'm going to try that.
What I've noticed is I can charge it to 100% with the phone off. If I turn it on and run it down to say 60% then put it back on charge with its powered on, it says its fully charged after about a minute. Clearly its not charged....

Every time I he to 40% it starts rebooting...above that its fine...strange...
