[FIX][CASE MOD] Fixing all the Random Reboots! - HTC Sensation

Hi,
All credit goes too firosemp!!
I have just opened a new topic because the random reboots affect so many people.
In this video you will find the solution:
Thank you for this great XDA forum!

I don't thinks so.
My battery phone is definitely.
Sometimes, my phone is turned off when in the bag

But I think so. Every ROM especially Android1-7 4.3 and Vipers JB Rom is super stable now.
Give it a try!!
For me this was the best MOD (beside the MMS build.prop MOD for Vodafone Germany) ever.

how old are you 10 ? I did those tricks to nokia 3310 but now I know that the absolutly fix is gsm service... and when you say random reboots this is't about the hardware is about software...

nokia 3310!
what did you remember mate?
old times and common trick
everybody were using that trick
but in most cases it works now with random reboots
when the battery doesn't fit correctly with the pins and loses connection with them

I dont understand you. This fix is for fixing random reboots. Its not too hard to understand.
Maybe you are too young...

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.

Imho, the whole topic should be renamed or removed.

Or atleast moved to Sensation General, lol

I can confirm this fix. After putting little piece of paper behind the battery - reboots stopped

It really does help in some cases.. Like rzr said, improves the connection between battery & pins.
But it doesn't take a genius to figure out something like this >.>

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.

I've had some random power off, I suspected it's battery probelm because the phone didn't reboot, it just shut down. I've put a little piece of paper between the battery and the housing several days ago and it didn't happen since. Simple but effective, at least for me.

Try adjusting your brightness to a low value. Appears to have solved the problem for me. I don't use auto-adjust.

[FIX] Random reboots/shutdowns. Pictures added!

So since this issue has been giving me quite a bit of frustration, I have devised a very simple fix that should work for at least a few other people. There was a post in the ARHD thread where it suggested cleaning the connectors and the battery. I was pulling out my battery to give this a try when I realized the battery could be pushed slightly farther down into the housing, allowing for a more solid connection.
What I did was wedge a small piece of business card between the top of the battery housing and the battery itself. This has worked very well for me so far. If anyone else would like to try this and either confirm or deny that it is working for them that would be great.
As requested, pictures have been attached. One shows the items you need, another shows where I placed it against the battery and the other shows it sitting flush in the battery housing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I found pulling the ground pin out a bit helps, the one that makes contact with the battery cover and can cause touchscreen issues.
I thought the random reboots/shutdowns were a software problem. Because after I flashed this a fix a found the issue stopped. Kinda...

I've tried a lot of the fixed, including underclocking to 1ghz and varying ghz between 1 and 1.5. But this has worked for me, figures I would share. But a lot of phones are different...so what works for me might not work for others. Just thought I would share what worked for me! Plus I think its worth a shot, don't see how it could hurt anything. But this is xda, so at your own risk and all that other stuff.

I heard placing a small piece of foul between the two can help also. But if the problem creeps up again for me i'll give that a try too.

I have found that whenever I have this problem, re-seating the battery temporarily solves the problem. I will try this next time as I agree these phones do seem to have a problem with the battery connection.

Best of luck! You may also want to put some rubbing alcohol on a towel and wipe the connectors on battery and housing.

Can anyone confirm that this works? I saw a thread where someone sent their phone to HTC and they replaced the mother board on warranty and it fixed the problem.
I called HTC and told the problem and they confirmed that they have been receiving lots of complaints and replacing the mother board would fix the problem. I have a month before my warranty is up so maybe ill try this before sending it in.

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.

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.

Phone shutdown unexpectedly

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.

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.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
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.

Should I say BYE to this battery?

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
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
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
