My device shut itself off last night while charging. I had to do a battery pull to get it to turn back on. Anyone else experience this? My first droid, is this normal? I'm withing the 14 day grace period on my THIRD device.
No it's not normal. It is however a bug that some are experiencing and is usually fixed by doing a factory data reset and making sure you font skip over the Google setup when your device turns on for the first time after doing your reset. There is about 50 threads regarding this issue in this forum so your best bet would be searching for them and see what ers are doing to eleviate the situation. Worst comes to worst just exchange it for another.

I think this problem was associated to the first few build batches of the device. After replacing for a new batch I have not seen this problem.
Update: Was told it's an issue with the battery. T-Mobile is overnighting a replacement battery free of charge. Was told if it does it again to replace through warranty as I am tired of taking up my time going to the store to replace.
I dunno. I think it is more drivers. Some people reported the phone turning off while stock during a charging session. They've rooted and moved on to the leaked Gingerbread or CM7 and haven't had any issues.
Me, I haven't had any issues with Stock 2.2 or CM, but the leaked Gingerbread does the same thing as described. It locks up and turns off while charging over night but also will just randomly do it throughout the day.
I don't think it is a hardware issue at all. I think it is some kind of driver/kernel issue.
Some reports state that the phone won't do this while charging over a PC-USB connection but does on a standard wall charger.
One thing to think about is which wall adapter are you using? The included on or another USB charger? I'm using my Nexus One wall plug, which some said could be the issue. I also use a wall plug from a MS Zune I found somewhere.
It could be the charging methods but that doesn't explain how it still does it while just being in my pocket. Now this is ONLY with the leaked Gingerbread/variants (EaglesBlood). Stock 2.2 and CM based roms I have no issues with. When I flashed the leaked build I found it powered off 3 times that night (after 5pm) by just laying around, and powered off in the morning just laying there on a charge.
The phone was at 100% when I turned it on. So maybe it is charging to 100% and turning off to prevent it from "over-charging"? I dunno but it still doesn't explain why it died 3 times without being connected to anything.
I say it is software. Try the latest CM7 #11 and report back. I think there is something fishy with the stock roms.
I am going to wait for the gingerbread update then move on to CM7. I will let you guys know if the new battery helps.
I rooted to cm7 and 2.3.3 update and this still happens... it definitely happens when charging towards full charge...
With that I also think the battery was bad since it happened 90% at charging ...
Im going to get a new one soon and see what happens..
Sucks for me though since I bought this phone from CL
Try CM7. There aren't any reports of the lockups. I'm actually running one of the later KANGs right now, which is a nightly created at a different time of the day.
CM7 #11 is available too. It isn't perfect but between the Theme app, Battery%, and Notification menu toggles... it is easy to deal with.
My problem with it now is the Sound will go out randomly and requires a reboot, but at least I'm not missing calls and notifications because it was off.
I have an non rotted G2x that I bought directly from A Tmobile store April 20th. I had random rebooted and almost daily my phone would lock up over night while charging. I was lucky I woke by myslef or I might have been very late for work. Amway... I was using my Nexus Ones charger, so I swapped it out and used the one that came from LG with the G2x. And I did not get anymore lockups after full charges overnight.
The other thing I did was every morning...I turn my phone off and then back on again.... right after I take it off the charger. And since I started doing that I got no more ghost restarts. Maybe it is coincidental....but it works for me. So far so good...watch as soon as I am done with this post....blame...reboot LOL. Anyway...try what I did. I thought I saw a reference tonight to rebooting the phone daily as a possible fix....in another post somewhere.
WTH my post disappeared.
I was coming back to edit it to say CM has a new #13 nightly:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p999
My original post said to try CM7 before doing anything dramatic. CM uses their own Kernels which is what I suspect the problem is with the stock roms.
The official Gingerbread update should come with a new kernel update, as it did with other phones.
TLDR: Skip to TLDR near the end!
Well, this is probably the tipping point that will make me demand a new phone from Magenta, because this is getting out of hand. My phone will periodically stop charging, for seemingly no reason at all. Usually its when it has relatively low power already that it decides it doesn't want to recognize the cable being plugged in.
Usually, I will just pull the battery and drain the remaining power via the power button, put the battery back in and all is well. Lately, it happened that it stopped charging and didn't respond to battery pulls, then got so low that it refused to even boot (flashing empty battery icon). This lasted about a day and after I had went into the T-Mobile store (Which they MADE me drive 30 minutes to the store to be there in person so they could hand me a piece of paper saying they'd mail me a new unit. Bull**** in and of itself.) the phone decides it wants to start charging again. After a few more frustrated battery pulls and doing nothing new with it.
When I get my new phone (no new battery), I put the battery in that one and use it, and all seems fine. This one has worse screen bleed (top left corner was pretty much a spotlight), but I'll take that for a working phone at this point. A few days ago I was just heading out on a 3 hour trip for a short vacation when the phone reboots on me while I'm listening to podcasts. Never had this happen with the other 2 G2X's I've had. Yesterday, the thing decides to stop charging as well, but a battery pull while the device was still on did the trick and it charged again.
Once I got home I figured I'd use the original G2X, as that has everything still on it, and migrating those app settings and data is a pain. Also, if it has worse bleed, reboot problems, and the same battery issue, its worse than what I already have.
(TLDR)
Now to my current problem. The phone, once again, stopped charging and has again discharged to where it wont boot. My questions:
1) Is there a way to recover my battery without just letting it sit and praying it charges again?
2) What is the underlying issue here that could cause this? Bad software? Bad hardware (in the phone itself)? Bad battery?
3) What is the best way about getting a new phone for free (or as close to free as possible), preferably an upgrade like the Sensation 4G? I don't want to deal with my local store, as they have been proven to not know ****, and the first line of defense on the phone isnt much better.
Well i am not an expert here but Just by process of elimination it seems to be the battery. They gave you a new phone and not a new battery and now it is doing the same thing. It has to be the battery so I would go back to the store and tell them that they gave you a **** phone as a replacement and it was the battery that was the problem the whole time. They shold be able to give you a new phone and battery. Tell thewm the screen bleed is terrible and the phone yoyu had was really good except for the battery issue. Maybee someone else can give a second opinion about that battery though. Dont just go on my words I am not a pro. Good luck man.

Hey everyone, thanks for looking at this and hopefully helping me out. I'm new to rooting my phone and installing new roms and stuff, but I researched about as much as I could for about a week before I even rooted.
Now I've moved on and installed a new rom (CM7). Before installing I used clockwork and formated the /system, /data, /cache, and dalvik. At first everything was ok, but after about 15 minutes it turned off. I read up on battery problems, so kept my phone plugged in all weekend (got up to 4.196V-ish, with 0mA in or out) then deleted the battery file, rebooted, unplugged the phone and let it drain completely (even while it still had a charge it would turn off randomly but I figured it would be ok). After it was completely drained I completely charged it again and it still randomly turns off.
At first I thought maybe it was just the rom, but no one else seems to have the same problem as me (that I can find), so I downloaded an ICS rom to try that. Same problems. So far I have done the following to try and find out WTF is going on...
Installed Elixr to see battery drainage (sitting at main screen doing nothing its roughly -8mA, but right after boot or opening a program it jumps to -300mA to -480mA)
Done NUMEROUS battery pulls (with and without deleting the battery config file)
Switched ROMS
Any help would be amazing
PS: Before rooting or flashing a new mod my phone would shut off on its own, but only once a week, maybe. Now it turns off as soon as I unlock my sim card. However, it doesn't turn off at all if I have it plugged in.

Well, if you were having this issue before the rooting took place, this very well may be hardware related. There are a few things I recommend before the dreaded unroot and send back to manufacturer route (assuming the phone is under warranty still). It's been proven or at least shown that battery calibration (the whole charge to 0Ma and then fully discharge and then recharge) is a pipe dream.
I would first say find out if the CM7 ROM you're using is OCing or UVing, while you may see some people OCing to 1.3 or higher and UVing -75, not all phones are created equal in capabilities and some phones will randomly freeze/turn off if they don't like your OC and UV settings. I would also suggest flashing a different ROM to see if this problem persists. Cleardroid is what I recommend just to get an idea if it is in fact a OC or UV problem as I believe cleardroid is set up to default stock settings.
You can also try a new battery, I have heard/read/seen that bad batteries can cause reboots. Again though if this was an issue you were sometimes experiencing before, you may have hit the tip of the iceberg on a hardware issue and its finally starting to show now. Hope this helps.

I guess the issue is with the battery itself. Try getting a new battery. I heard some guys experiencing the same and sorting things out replacing the battery....
Leave the charger plugged in. If it doesn't reboot then that will let you know most likely it is the battery.

That was my thoughts exactly. However, if the ROM or kernel or whatever is set to shut off the phone at a certain reading of discharge from the battery, ie -500mA, this could also be the problem.
I thought it could have been a problem with the phone as well, but before it would shut off on its own MAYBE once a month. 90% of those I attributed to overloading the phone, closing facebook, opening the internet, starting to load a webpage then open a new txt I just recieved while the phone was still vibrating type things.
Now it still feels like it's just quitting on me, it never turns off while the screen is locked or while its charging. So far after the new ROM it has shut off when I place a call, when I receive a call, clicking on a notification, opening the messaging app, clicking download in the market, and my favorite when I unlock it from sleep.
I will download a different rom right now and try it. Just to double check this is what I've been doing to install a new rom... I boot my phone into recovery (vol- and power), go to recovery from the boot screen (opens clockworkmod), scroll down to mounts and storage, have it format /system, /data and /cache, go back to wipe data/factory reset, then install zip from sdcard, select the rom and go... I know some roms require inspiremod, should I still install this if I'm USING an inspire??
Thanks for the input guys, I really appreciate it
If it does turn out to be the battery or you just decide to get a new one to test it out. I recommend these, they are awesome and the only thing anyone should try besides HTC factory replacements. Good luck and I hope this works out for you.
Anker Batteries
i only skimmed this. but cleaning battery contacts can help also check the side door, sometimes that can cause issues as well. air can out everything and clean metal contacts with rubbing (ipa) alcohol.
So I installed cleardroid. Once again everything worked fine for the first 10-15 minutes and then the shutdowns started again, always when making the phone do something (unlocking, clicking a notification, opening a program, etc) but never when the phone is charging.
I'll clean off every bronze or gold contact I can find but I think I might be fighting a lost cause lol. Three different ROMS, all with the same problem leads me to believe its a hardware issue. Since all the chips in these phones are all small and use multilayer boards I won't be able to replace anything myself so I see a new phone in my near future.
Thanks guys!
If it doesn't do it when its chargeing then it is the battery. I had bought my inspire from someone and it was having those issues ordered a new HTC stock battery from newegg for like $12 and has been working perfectly since then and honestly if you want the best battery rom absolution is the rom you should check out. It's a non sense rom but again I'd just buy a new battery. I had mine timed it'd reset at 92% 74% and 49% xD

hmm, I would say try a new battery before getting a new phone. Worst case scenario is that you spent $15 to learn you need a new phone as opposed to spending $100+ on a new phone...this is of course assuming you want to keep the inspire and not just looking for a reason to get upgrade ahaha
I agree. It still sounds like a battery issue.
I would agree this definitely sounds like an internal short in the battery. Sounds like it's shutting off whenever it gets a significant load on it. Try a new battery first.
I had a similar issue though I was tweaking the CPU. Learned my lesson.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
Yeah, Id bet money that its a bad battery. I had this same exact issue with my Inspire. If it shuts off more in low reception areas but it isn't shutting off when plugged in, its definitely the battery. I would try to find someone with an Inspire and try switching them batteries and see if it stops.
If I tried to use the flash with my camera, the phone would shut off. My phone would randomly reboot or turn off. ATT told me they had "some" bad batches of batteries. My phone was still under warranty so ATT sent me a new battery. All the problems went away!
The battery door on the Inspire becomes wonky the more you open it, I was having a problem like yours, new battery and new door has me going good.
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?
This is something that has really started to annoy me, It started happening I guess since I put stock ICS on, You take the phone out of your pocket and its turned off by itself, Or even when randomly using it, it just decides to turn itself off, its not a reboot it doesn't come on again. It has done this 5 times today.
I have also noticed when using the phone for any amount of time on the back beside the USB port is roasting hot, to the extent I can still feel the heat when I put it in my pocket.
Anyone any ideas on the issue,
probably it seems battery related
check if the battery fits as it is suppose to be
I had a big problem with this soon after I bought the phone (used).
The fix was fold and cut some kitchen paper and place between phone and battery.
Never a problem since.
Of course, your problem may be software related, if you made changes. Go back to old software if you can.
Good luck.

Also, if nothing else works (seriously, probably just bad contacts of the battery, so the paper advice should work), there is a rare problem with the phone rebooting (not shutting down, but all is possible) when it switches to 2G, so locking it to WCDMA only could solve it.

I put Viper ROM on at weekend at it happened today, I was using the Gold 2450 battery, I might try the original and see what happens
That happened to me on aosp jb, now I'm on sense jb and so far so good. It only happened when the battery was close to empty

Im having trouble working out what the issue is, I changed the battery yesterday, took it of the charger just now to discover the phone had turned off again
Nevermind, it's even worse now. Here's what happens:
1. I charge and drain the phone to 1% when it turns off but gives me a warning
2. I turn on the phone again and it shows 16%, but turns off without warning way before 1%
3. Every time I turn it on again, it shows a random battery charge (2-10%) and turns off without warning randomly
I don't know what's going on. It's like the calibration is messed up but it shouldn't be since I calibrated the battery. I'm going to buy a new battery and see if that fixes it.
Edit: Actually, I'm gonna go back to ICS, and then to a stock ROM first (not sure which one is it)

Well, that battery is very cheap and poor to be honest.
If they lie so much about the mAh of the battery, I wouldn't trust that battery at all.
Well, try another rom maybe?
ViperS was super-stable for me.
