[Q] My Sensation turning off !

My sensation is turning off randomly. Its very strange i think. sometimes turns off 2 -3 a day sometimes 5 - 10 times a day and sometimes never. i tried to fabrication reset but it cant help. after the reset it starts again in couple of days. My battery is about % 70 but after the turning off it says battery is % 6. then i restart my phone it turns normal % 70. I m not rooted my device yet. Today i spoke with support service they say try to use in safe mod. i used and my device doesnt turns off. but it could be coincidence. I dont know what to do. Any suggestions ?

hi, i have same problem, i am using official rom. i have found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160054
but there is no confirmed reason or method to solve this problem.
does anybody have an idea?? is it software or hardware issue?
soft-reset? hard-reset? or other rom??
help somebody please

I've also had this problem, I discovered that it was what I suspected, the battery. I took advantage and bought a new evo3d battery.
Already spent a month and never had this issue again.

I had the same problem, did a factory reset, a new ROm at the store and nowthey gave my phone a boardswap. i hope that helps....

Same problem here, but not with every Rom and only with the Anker battery... not with the officale htc battery.

i am using official htc battery, official android, now at version 2.3.4, sense version 3.0 and software number 1.45.401.3
i am not sure if flashing other rom helps and if no, i have a problem, bcs with flashing unofficial rom, it breaks warranty.

I try out various ROMs and various kernels including stock rom and kernel. The result was sometimes worked well for a while other times it turn off short time after installation. Turning off some things like wifi, bluetooth and making an underclock the processor helps the phone to hold up better. In my case, having less than 30% of battery life make a call the phone turns off immediately.

This has happened to me on sense miui and cm7 :/

Root your sensation and flash another rom, it seems like it's a software issue. Also, unlocking your bootloader is what voids the warranty, but there's a way to relock it as well (so if you do get any problems, all you have to do is install the RUU you initially had and relock the bootloader and no one will ever know it happened )

Here's the thread with the guide to unlocking and relocking your bootloader
Hope this helps

I tried to flashing many roms but it didnt help. I think battery cause this problem. I will buy new battery but not htc`s battery.

As i said before, I bought the battery from evo3d and the problem was solved besides that the autonomy is great.
Tell us if with a new battery the problem maintained.

LOOKS LIKE ISSUES WITH ICS OTA. Post your bugs in here.

yellow tint colour prb stil in ics 4.0.3 i received ota yesterday i9020
can u help me to corect this colour problem ? i m a new one dont know much .
n no face unlock as shon on certein utube videos

In order to correct the color you need a kernel that supports voodoo controls. Id have to say the washed out stock colors is what killed it for me at the moment.

if custom rom lyk cyanogen is instaled then from where to get voodo for s amoled?
anyway to crct colour on ics . if yes plz let me know i like ics bt yelow tint.........((

I've noticed that the screen is a bit dimmer now =P but i think it's good for the batt? i dunno =]

istalled the ics ota 4.0.3 on my nexus s now recovery is not working anymore
what can i do

I had this problem with other ROMs as well besides the stock, but the Gallery seems to only want to display pictures from the Camera folder that were taken after that flash. Any photos from the past refuse to be catalogued by the Gallery. It's a bit annoying, but I'm glad at least the photo actually still exist in the file system. They just aren't being scanned by the Gallery properly.
Another one: I can't add custom ringtones (tried the /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones and /sdcard/Ringtones directories). Any ideas? Same issue with notification sounds.

I'm having problems on the internet using the stock browser. It takes a while for pages to load. When I scroll on long pages like message boards, part of the screen goes to a blank white, until everything catches up about 3 seconds later. It seems like the single core processor of the Nexus S isn't playing well with ICS. I kind of figured that this would be the case and regret doing the update.

Is there a kernel that you recommend that will be compatible with Android 4.0.3?
It looks like I need to root again, also.

USB to Windows 7 Laptop
I updated with OTA 4.0.3 this morning. I too am noticing that things are a little slower.
Also, my windows 7 laptop no longer recognises the phone. As a matter of fact, nothing happens at all. I turned on "USB Debugging" but that did not help. Thing is that yesterday I transferred files using the USB cable with no problem (when gingerbread was installed). This morning I update and the phone no longer shows up. It does charge though.
I haven't found a solution as yet. If anyone can help I'll be greatful.

I did a factory reset and things got a little better...my linpack test went from 6mflops to 15, but it should be mUch higher than that

I manually updated my dad's nexus s. Installed fine but it looks like the phone doesnt want to read the sim card.

I bricked my LG G2X can't get past boot screen. The little unboxing screen when you hard reset isn't unloading anything. Is there a way to get to recovery mode without a pc?

You've flashed the wrong radio, bro. Flash the full stock 2.3.6 for your device and await the OTA.

does it require rooting???

Do you have a lot of apps and don't wanna lose the settings?
if not or if you don't care about setting them up again why not do a factory data reset and just erase everything and start from scratch?
i would suggest a you make a backup first but you're probably not rooted and even if you do, the backup might not work since it might also back up any wrong settings or something like that (i might be wrong here)
Why not root your phone? you can always unroot and relock the bootloader if you are worried about warranty.
edit: BTW any custom ROM requires you unlock your bootloader and install ClockworkMod recovery. so you would have to do that first in order to flash the AOSP roms.

but what abt the battery issue...
it is the main problem of all...

Have you looked at the battery usage under system settings > battery?
it likely is be a misbehaving app since you say several apps don't work correctly.
this should also go away with a flash of a ROM or doing the factory data reset.
Edit:
My wife has having similar problems after the ICS OTA update. she had a lot of apps and a bunch of widgets on the home screens, the phone was sluggish and some apps didn't work right or were FC'ing. In the end she just did a factory data reset and started from scratch and the phone is stable and feels faster and all apps are working fine now.

is it a kernel or a rom...
and i saw the screenshots of this rom- CodenameDroid-(MOD)-1.2.0-NS
is this rom a good one....with faster performance and a good battery

tried ICS stock rom.
No battery problem. similar life compared with 2.3: about 1.5 days
but ICS is running slower than 2.3. Though speed still acceptable, but I want the 2.3 speed

@colocynth
Try the Matr1x Kernel und you will be fine....

Hi cloedu, I tried mv 2.1.28, using matrix kernel, if my memory is correct. Still not speed up, just like stock.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Formatting everything (system , boot , cache , data .....) in CWM recovery , then reinstalling stock ICS ROM made a day and night difference in battery life for me .... From 15 hours avarage to almost 1.5+ days ... Highly recommended...

same here bro..i use unkown kernal 1.3a.when i put it to charge it switches off or even when i speak a call it hangs..
suggestion:just remove and put the battery again..reminds me of the nokia phone days which hangs and we do same there:-(

any particular issue y it keeps turning off its hapeening only after i flashed new rom ...
is it hardware issue or software .... the problem is i have to keep checking the phone again and again if its on or its gone off quite irritating ..
and yes i keep on/off button long pressed and it restarts itself

This problem occurs particularly on stock ROM and that too on indian ROM...
Theres one ROM mentioned in the below url, where people didnt faced after flashing it. (May be Australian)
Check the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420214&highlight=random+shutdown

i am not using stockrom ... using frank's 1.5

I think its a Kernel Problem. Try flashing Stock Kernel/Any other kernel..
Using Stock XWLA4 without any ROOT/CWM and just Stock Kernel..
Its great.. No hangs!!!

Yes the problem is not ROM. Its the Kernel. Not only Unknown Kernel. But all those kernels having Voodoo Sound are acting weiredly. It is draining the whole battery overnight in standby.
Now I have installed Ardatdat kernel 1.6. Lets see if thd problem resolves.

Yes it was the Kernel. I flashed Ardatdat kernel 1.6 and now Phone is working like charm. No deep sleep, no battery drain and not becoming unresponsive.

well i have done the same since yesterday and kept the cpu @ 1.3 ghz ... soo far its working wonderful ... will keep it on test for like couple of days and then come to conclusion if its good or not.

even after flashing kernel the issue still persists ..
maybe i need to change rom once agan any idea what can be done ?

I too have been facing the unresponsive issue a couple of times since I changed to 1.7b2 kernel but I thought it might be because of the apps I installed..

Can you update me what they say... Ok maybe a noobie question just was trying to check the binary counter and below is details i get from ODIN3 download mode.
Custom Binary Download : No (0 counts)
Current Binary : Samsung Official
does this means i can flash back stock Indian rom and take it to service center and my warranty still holds firm ?

Yes you can flash Stock Rom and do factory reset before taking it to Service Center and any repair will be covered under warranty...

I'm getting the same deep sleep problem as the others. It started after I flashed the v1.3a Ultimate kernel. But since i also dropped my phone that day (Not hard, but still), i was scared.
I'm using the stock DDKH4 India 2.3.5 ROM
I will try changing the kernel and give an update.

Restoring the milestone to the original ROM

Hi,
Snce all the Android 4 ROMs i tested were not working oe way or another i was decided to switch my GFs phone back to stock.
Just to make sure i do the right thing; I just grab the (german retail) sbf, the RSD tool and then connect the phone to the computer and use the tool to flash said sbf?
Anything else?
Thanks in advance

That's right. Too bad android 4 didn't work out.

Yeah.. it is strange.. 4.1.2 had the same bugs i know from my Huawei phone like "auto rotation" eating up battery draining it so hard, that een while connected to power the battery was drained..
4.2.3 worked fine for a few days but with the drawback that the camera was mirrored (and she uses the camera a lot) - plus after a few days the system wen very very slow. Cant see any reason for that, but it went so slow, that unlocking took up to a minute just to see trebuchet crash... bad luck.
4.4 ended up in a bootloop.. so nothing to use either :/
So its back to stock..

mmh... looks like something was wrong in each update... I have used 4.1.2 for more than 1 year and had no problem, 4.4 for about 2 weeks and everything looks fine till now, so maybe something is wrong from hardware point of view or something went wrong during the update... my advice is to flash a stock rom and start over with the modding process following precisely each step In case you want a 2.3 rom, you can try Cyanogen 7 from Tezet that I remember was very good!
