Senstaion Keeps Turning off?

Thanks

I Had the same problem and now i have fixed it!

I think what the guy is saying about power manager is correct as my batteries level fluctuates, at one point itll be 80 then when it freezes and i reboot it drops to 60
any help on this one

My wife's used to have constant reboots daily, stock, rooted,then soff. All rebooted. Then I tried flashing in a certain order the worked with no more reboots.

1.full wipe
2.flash firmware(only once of course)
3.boot into recovery full wipe
4.flash rom

I agree with mymeatb18.Perform a full wipe from recovery itself or using some wipe script and reflash your rom.
As a second choice you could flash a stock RUU and see if this makes the things better.

If the problem is some battery indication you always can try to delete battery stats for start.If you have a second power manager maybe causes compications.

An other reason that your phone reboots maybe is because of some wrong kernel modales (uv21 e.t.c).Usually it happens after flashing new kernel without to clean kernel init.d folder.

I can't think something else now.I hope I helped you.

.

delete battery stats is just a myth

I flashed ViperS 1.6.3 and used it for a day.
I had 2 turn offs all day yesterday.

It also comes with new kernel, did a full wipe before installing.
It's not great 2 turn offs, but it's better.

I'm also thinking of trying the latest stock ROM for sensation, but I'll try a few ROMs before.
I'm also thinking more and more about getting another phone.

I had some problem too with ViperS 1.6.3 (Not force shutdowns or reboots but It was a little bit stucky).When I flashed the latest firmware from Revolution HD topic I the ViperS had less lags than before.

You can download the latest firmware from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618

Right now the latest firmware is "Firmware from 3.33.401.6 & 3.33.401.106 RUU".(It has Hboot 1.29.0000)

Flash the lastest fimware and reflash your rom if it is nessesary making a full wipe first.

Why you don't try a Jelly Bean rom instead of ICS.ViperS 3.1.1 JB is a fantastic rom for Sensation.I have it installed 2 weeks now and I can say it is the most incredible rom I have use!It has a great stock kernel (SebastianFM-1.0.1) but the only disadvantage is that it hasn't Sweep2Wake support yet.

I just did that, see how this works. Didn't reflash ROM.

Maybe I'll try that too.

My problem doesn't seem to be related to the ROM, maybe it's the radio, maybe it's my phone

I gave my old Sensation to my gf recently and I found the same problems while I had it. After about two to three months of running a ROM (either Bruce's 4.1.2 or Albinoman's 4.2.2) it would just randomly start turning off a lot. I found the only way to fix it was to do a full wipe and restore from a nandroid backup or flash clean to a stable ROM. Then it would be fine for a few months. Tried the paper in the battery compartment which didn't help and obviously the AOSP ROMs don't have Sense so that wasn't a problem anyway.

I just think what it boils down to is that the Sensation isn't a very good phone. Now that I use a ZL with FXP I never have any issues with random reboots or the phone turning off, and I'm not blaming Bruce or Albinoman, they both did great work in making the Sensation usable for me, but neither were able to overcome HTC's poor quality phone and device firmware.

Honestly, if you guys still have a Sensation I would honestly recommend getting a new phone. I was always so frustrated with my Sensation not working properly, turning off all the time, and with HTC's awful software support leaving the official software on 4.0.3 and not updating the device firmware. Now I have the latest 3.4 Kernel and a very stable 4.2.2 build from FXP, and the ability to just go back to stock firmware using flashtool.

So, I flashed the latest firmware, the latest radio and ViperS 3.1.1.

Already had a random restart. oO

Just my input here. I suffered from this for many months, sometimes have a reboot every time I turned on the phone for 1 hour periods. I looked at every angle I could find, from the kernels in roms, to aosp vs sense, gingerbread vs ics vs jb. I tried the paper trick and all the firmware I could. I noticed I had the battery % fluctuations and my phone would power off sometimes when connecting to a network, when constant turning off booting into aeroplane mode without the SIM would fix this and phone would boot right away, no issues. So I replaced my SIM card but my problem was not solved. For the last week or so I have not had a single reboot, and I achieved this by simply reverting back to my stock HTC battery. Now I'm not 100% sure if it was my anker battery that was the problem, for a long time it served me well. But I haven't had a reboot/power down since, and I'm now rocking sebastians jb Rom with no issues.

So as I said, just my chip in, make of it what you will I will update this in a month to say if all is still working well

It's simple, had the problem on mine. It's undervolting. After a while the chip cannot handle as low of a voltage, starts to freeze when a heavy task suddenly gets put onto it while there's other back ground tasks. As Roms get more bloated as the months go by the cpu is under more load. If I played a game a text would often crash the phone.

My first battery didn't last till lunch, so I don't think I'll be able to use that. My second battery was also htc, was good at first and after 6 months also didn't last that much. My third and current battery (Momax x-level) seems ok so far. Also, not sure what is to blame for restarts. Maybe phone/motherboard, maybe battery, maybe ROM.
If i get another phone, I'll have other problems.

How can I check and modify if I want the voltage?
What would be normal values? I'm willing to have higher voltage and lower battery life, but more stability.

you can use system tuner or kernel tuner to adjust voltage values if you know how much

Is there a list with the voltages for different frequencies?

yeap
in those apps you will see for every freq and the analog voltage
and you can adjust them seperately if you want

Tried kernel tuner, but I didn't figure out how to use it.

Anyway, sometimes 2 days pass without any restart/turn-off, sometimes I get 5-6+ in a day.

go to voltage tab
there you can adjust every bar for its freq

CPU problem ??

I had that to last year. Got 2 boardswaps and than the phone started to FC (HTC WhiteScreenOfDeath) after using the browser for half an hour or so.

I installed OSmonitor and CPU-Z and found the CPU only had 1 functioning core Core0, Core1 was death.
After i did a RMA HTC swapped my phone for a new one, first thing i did was install CPU-Z an OSmonitor again.
This "new" phone also had the same problem Core0 worked Core1 was death.

Now HTC don't want to give me another phone only repair my phone. How can they repair a productionflaw of the Qualcomm CPU ?????

Both cores are active for me.

Could this be the reason why my HTC Sensation XE randomly re-boots while using OnDemand governor, but with Userspace governor it doesn't get any re-boots?
The OnDemand gives too low voltage maybe?
I don't know very much of these yet. Still trying to learn more about HTC Sensations
