Hi all this question may of been asked before or slightly differently. I have Sensation with ICS (Unbranded) and had the phone since Sept 2011 and it seems when my battery gets to 30-40% left (approx) i start getting rebooting and becomes more so lower it gets. Now i know its not ICS as it started doing this 2-3 weeks when i had gingerbread. So could my battery be failing? or something more sinister going on?
Thanks in advance
Also when i upgraded to ICS i did a factory reset.

I'm a bit curious to see the answer for this one, my friend has the same problem, and I've been trying to troubleshoot it for him with no luck.
There are a few posts about switching the type of signal, which we tried, but it wasn't a good solution as he didn't get 3G network at where he lived
So i have now also turned wifi off (Only 3G enabled) and @ 50% according to battery indicator i went to open a message (SMS) and it rebooted on me.
Did you cablibrate the battery?
um no, never heard of battery calibration , any tutorials on what needs to be done. Thats new to me
Ah ok i found this on xda for non rooted device
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Fully Charge.
3. When getting 100% signal, unplug quickly.
4. Pull off the battery and put it anywhere.
5. Wait for 180 seconds exactly (be careful )
6. Meanwhile, take this opportunity to dust off the internal compartment.
7. Put back the battery on the right side.
8. Turn on the phone.
9. Pray the Battery god
10. ... and voilà !

So i will give that a try
I tried my above post to calibrate battery and it didnt work for me so i sent my phone back for repair and alls good now. They never said what was faulty so the reason i guess is still unknown.
Some people on Facebook HTC UK page said it could of been a Ram or Processor issue, it wasn't a battery issue as I still use same battery and works fine since i got it back.
Turn off your phone.
Fully Charge.

Thanks i tried everything inc. your idea and all failed. I returned it to HTC for repair in the end
my battery charged than i go from home out, than i looked my phone; phone turn off, than come bak my home and plug charge; but phone not charged-charge light not shine-. i plug my extended mugen battery and phone turn on. what the hell my original battery?
I have galaxy tab s wifi 10.5
I bought it from Kuwait about 7 months ago.after about 1 month I begin to face many problems with it such as:-
1-the battery empty very fast it going down from 100 to 80 to 50 and ect.
When I connect it with the charger I found that it's after 8 hours,only got 20% and when I take off the charger,it's directly turn off the device.you can say that the device works only when connected to charger.
I send it back to the manufacture and told them that there is a problem with battery and after 2 days they called me to get my device back saying that the problem only with firmware and it's ok now.
2- I begin to use it and after about 3 days, I found Avery strange issue
That the home button,back button and recent app button dosent work and the only work when I shake the device or put it on the screen and put it back again or use the device with the book cover.
3-also when the battery reach to 10% and connect it with the charger and try to use the device while charging, it turn off automatically and show the sign of battery charging on the screen and don't want to turn on again untill I disconnect the charger from the device but when I try to charge it from the PC, it dosent turn off and show the battery on the screen.
I tried to install another country firmware but still have the same problems here.
Could anyone pleassssssssssssse help me

First of all, hello.
as this is my first post on this forum, dont give me a hard time i really need help with this phone.
I bought it recently, without battery
Than i bough battery two days later, orginal one but not new one. First two days it just kep showing invalid battery, please insert orginal battery and than it just stopped. I can power on the device and it works perfectly while screen is on, when i press the lock screen button after a couple of seconds it turns off and starts booting again. Same thing while on charger, but when connected to a pc its works perfectly. I just dont understand this. I took it apart, no water damage, didnt even fall once, i think its the cellphone but i am not sure as i dont have another battery to test it or money to get a new one they are expensive in croatia, about 40$. I would really like to get this phone working. tried diffrent usb cables, diffrent ac adapters, lock button didnt stuck even once, but the charging time is really bad too. all night got him to 89%, is it possible that maybe battery isnt giving him enough juice to turn the screen on again after a lock? i just dont know anymore tried everything and help would be great. Thanks in advance!

My device fails to remain switched on. After some while it switches off. Sometimes it seems something like turning on wifi toggles it but not sure. I have tried both soft and hard factory reset but still there was no use. It heats up a lot due to continuos loop of on/off. But when I switch it on, it is not completely switched on and somewhat stops in the middle of the process. It turns on only when I connect to a charger but within half an hour It heats up a lot. The battery is not drained when I switch it on. Also when once switched off it does not switch on on its own. So, i feel its not a hardware issue. Can you guide me regarding the problem with my device-LG Google Nexus 4.

Its an request to non rebot user to provide their firmware version details so that we can try it out..
Also anyone can suggest whether there is any way to overcome this.
Thanks in advance..

Hey man, sorry to hear that you are also facing the same problem Can you share some specifics?
- Have you ever rooted your phone?
- Does your phone shut down within seconds of opening snapchat, regardless of the current battery level?
- Have you experienced totally unstable performance, like sudden battery level drops of 20-30%?
- Have you tried going back to a lower firmware?
- Have you tried removing the SD card, if any?
Let's work together to understand our problem better and hope for a solution

Hey man,
So,
Couple of things about my problem so that we can maybe point out similarities and maybe a common cause.
- I had my phone rooted the first time the problem appeared (android 4.4.4)
- I updated my phone to Lollipop, and that's when i first started getting hints of this problem
- At first i thought, it was a charging issue. but it started happening more and more often.
- now, it pretty much happens everyday and is making my life miserable.
- I started to notice that my battery roughly dies around 37%. From what i've read online, this battery level can be different from person to person.
- From the moment it dies, it restarts itself and goes into a bootloop.
- The moment i plug it back in, it show a battery level of 0%.
- And then, within a few minutes, the battery level goes back to where it initially was when it first died.
- My battery discharge was really turbulent, the whole graph was a mess. I would see sharp drop till I would reach the dreaded 30% area.
- I noticed that right after I enter snapchat, it takes about 3-5 seconds for the reboot to happen. This happens regardless of the battery level as it has once happened to me at about 80% battery.
- The best thing that ever happened to me was when i first took out my SD card. It was 64 GB samsung sd card so i thought it would really mesh together well. I never thought about it being a possible cause. Boy was i wrong, turns out my battery performance almost returned to normal. Got to about 75% after 9 hours. No snapchat but again around the 11 hour mark. I launched chrome and the BAM, it happened again :'(
- I decided to unroot and return to 4.4.4 thinking that a custom kernel was the problem.
- Still No Luck
I have read many places online that it maybe an issue with the battery. But, I refuse to believe that is the issue. i have also tried another battery. although i think it may have been fake. Haven't tried a replacement OEM battery yet.
I would suggest a few things you can do:
- For starters take a screenshot of your current battery usage charts and then once the problem happens, remove the SD card and charge your phone while powered off and report back with another screenshot so that we can compare and see if removing the SD card has had any positive effect.
- Please clarify if you have ever rooted? sorry I was unable to fully understand from your answer.

Do u mean by installing this ur battery last upto 0%. Without reboots / bootloop....
Can u confirm ur model no and firmware version.
Guys after a lot of search found something to save much more battery life, worked for me, give a try:
1,open dialer and dial *#0228#
2,after dialing *#0228# the battery status menu will popup.
3,hit ( quick start ) at bottom of the screen in red color
4,hit ( yes ) and go to settings/battery and disable fast charging for 1 charge only.
5,power off the phone and charge to 100%.
6,turn on the phone and if it shows 97,98,99 plug in charger again and charge to 100%.
7,once it charge to 100% unplug charger and this will create new battery calibration status automatically.now you can enable fast charge again.
8, Next go to play store and download wakelock power app and install it. Open the app and hit (PARTIAL WAKE LOCK) as in screenshot below.
This app will help the cpu to run much more efficient and smoother and also prevent device from over heating and this app does not require root access.
Download wakelock power app link below.

THIS METOHOD WORKS ONLY WITH STOCK OFFICIAL FIRMWARE IF YOU ARE RUNNING AOSP ROMS/CYANOGENMOD ROMS/NOTE7 ROMS/S7EDGE ROMS/ OR OTHER PORTED ROMS DIALING *#0228# MAY NOT WORK. (SOME PORTS COULD WORK LIKE Dr. KetanRom, EnhancedRom, RamRom.)
HIT THANKS IF THIS WORKS FOR YOU

Thanks for the help,I appreciate it but unfortunately it's still restarting and getting stuck in a boot loop and this continues until I plug my phone in. This battery is only 8 months old. And this problem didn't start until the last security update. It's getting worse every day. It started happening at 80%, now when my phone gets to 98% it goes into this boot loop. I have the Verizon version. Maybe I'll try a factory reset

Now you're getting somewhere,from the sounds of it.
It almost sounds like the security system in the phone is seeing something it doesn't like on startup and doing a reboot to try and purge it.
I really hate Samsung's built in security.
