[Q] Need expert openion, if its Hardware or Software problem

[Khaled Javeed]

I got a used HTC sensation XE with audio beats, with WiFi not working (GB was installed). Wifi & Teathering services always remained on "Error" when wifi turned on. Bluetooth, SIM services all were doing good. Used it in this condition for 2~ days, all went fine exept I once found it powered off while it was on wall charging.
Then I upgraded it to ICS downloading Stock ICS ROM from this thread. Which was isntalled successfully and the WiFi started to work.
It worked fine for 2 days, except my phone restarted on its own once or twice. At that moment i was using 340 MB of internal storage for apps and 750 was free. One night i was playing "Cut the Rope" and my phone prolonged a game sound and turned off, I removed battery and replaced it and turned on, but nothing happened, it remained off. Attached it to charging but no response. I left it there and after about an hour charging light turned on and it powered on.
From that moment, Phone often shows message "Low Storage Space", Hangs and then turns off. And fails to turn on again, sometimes for 24 hours. I did a "Factory Restore" from boot loader (power + voluem dwn), but its still behaving same.
Lattest: It turns on by pressing power button for 20 to 30 sec. Sometime goes upto lock screen and turns off, sometimes turns off on first screen and most of the times dies at audio-beats screen (after or before change is screen brightness). Remains dead for some time then again to same position.
Any expert openion/ experiance/ etc....

I don't have option of replacement. What to do? :crying:

But it never turns off just sitting at the bootloader or fastboot screen? Doesn't turn off while doing a factory reset? Only when trying to load software and activate hardware booting into the OS?

Yes it didn't turned off sitting idle in bootloader. But it completed its factory reset in 3 restarts; 1st right after loading stock, 2nd configuring apps 10/36 and 3rd at 23/36. Then 4th time it died on fresh Lock Screen.

NOTE: I removed SIM, SD Card in the very beggining of the problem.

I would try replacing the battery... it's about all that's left as it appears your phone is locked and more or less all stock..

Cuts down your options for things. Any sign of moisture exposure?

Haven't tried out any other battery, I tested it on voltage meter and it showed ok, BUT you have got a point; I must check it with some other battery of working phone.

Moisture:: Well there was Mist/ Fog a few days back but mostly I stayed at warm place + I kept it in fromt of fan heater after ealry episodes..
