My HTC Wildfire often shutdown while I'm using my phone especially but not limited to browsing and visiting the Android Market.
When I reboot my phone after the random shutdown, my battery level drain out even the battery is full before the random shutdown. I then shutdown my phone and switch on it after a few minutes, the battery level came back to the initial level, i.e. 75%. And if I switch on with my phone plugged, It switch on with 100% battery level.
I first encounter this problem after I had installed Go Launcher EX on my phone. The problem continues after I uninstalled Go Launcher EX and using LauncherPro.
Now I had rooted my phone on CM7 and this shutdown still haunts me, please advice.
Do you use a cpu manager?
If not, please check settings/cyanogenmod settings/performance/cpu/ What does it say?
does it shutdown, or does the screen simply turn black, while the led lights, remain on?
to be honest here, it sounds a LOT like the power issues on the HTC Touch Pro2.
While that device ran Windows, as to android on your device, it seems like there might be a cross-os programming error on these devices.
could you also check if this mainly happens when you were suppose to receive an sms or incoming call, while also using the internet?
If so, i think i might know where to look for a root-cause of this problem.

I overclock my phone to 710Mhz and restore CPU settings on boot, Current governor is performance.

It turns off completely. Most cause of the shutdowns are Internet browsing and visiting android market, no calls and messaging were made nor receive that time. However, the shutdown doesnt happen when I charge my phone. So is my battery faulty?
I found that when I overclocked my phone shut down and randomly rebooted. I had to drop it below 700 for it to be stable.

But this nightmare haunts me before I root my phone, and it doesn't reboot, just shutdown
Then it may be a hardware problem. If it was a software issue a new rom should have fixed it. Have you got a warrentee? You may have to use it, but remember you may have to flash stock and s-on again or they might not accept it.

I had already purchased a new battery online. Just waiting it to reach my door step and I will check whether my battery is faulty or not. Thanks
ok good luck
I had the same problem with the phone i used before my wildfire, it's a SonyEricsson, have no idea what's the problem either
Using go launcher at the moment and apart from random restarts I don't have a problem like this. But then again I haven't played with the CPU settings yet. Also I know I'm a newb but you could try recalibrating the battery if it's displaying false statuses

Done battery calibrating but then phone shutdown itself during the process, I think might be the battery causing it.
I asked the sales person in a HTC store regarding this, might be hardware or faulty battery
I'm having exactly same issue. Did you solve it replacing the battery?
The problem solved!!
Yes, replacing the battery really does solve the problem
Below is the link to the battery I purchased. It's a third party extended battery with additional 200 mAh compared to the stock battery.

I don't know if a calibration would be able to solve your problem. I.e letting your battery be completely drained and recharge it to 100% while it's turned off, and do it again 2-3 times.

Hi wildfire users,
my girlfriend got her wildfire yesterday.
The first thing I've fine, was to root it and check the standby battery drain.
It was between 27 and 50ma in AIRPLANE mode, without sometimes at 120??
My device got 1-2 in airplane and 3-5 without.
Thought it would getting better after flashing cm7, took the rc1...not really.
Any suggestions? Iam an experienced android user, but my options are running out, what else I can do.
What I've done:
Checked drain with current widget,
checked partial wakelocks with spare parts-seems okay.
Uninstalled all custom user apps I had installed.
Read here, that reflashing the radio fixes some issues...didn't tried that yet.
Any other ideas?
What drainages do you've got?
Waiting for your answers.
Edit: perhaps it will help to let it charge it to 100% and check again...maybe let it also discharge one time ^^.¿?
....think i was perhaps a bit over motivated...

Battety drain will be above normal just after flashing a ROM. You need to make a full charge and then go to recovery and wipe the battery status.
Then do few complete charge-discharge cycles. Then it will be definitely better than stock rom. And use CPU settings in smart way. Work on the minimum setting and governor. Also depends on other factors like live wallpapers etc..,

How does calibration the battery prevent from it from draining faster ?.
Suggest some thing that makes sense.

Battery calibration gives accurate reading only, it will not improve the weared out battery.
When shifting between roms, the battery will not give accurate reading because not all roms utilize the battery in the same manner (Rom saves the details in batterystats.bin file). So, what if it gives wrong reading. There might be a possibility that it shows 100% even when not fully charged. So we think battery drains faster, but the fact is we haven't charged it fully. (correct me for any errors).
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Yes showing 100% wrongly must be the only situation where battery calibration be blamed. But 8-10 hrs of charging from deep-down-zero should definitely make it full, right ?
Whats your general time taken for charging in standby mode (WiFi, Mobile Data, Bluetooth Off).
I am experiencing heavy battery drain with WiFi, since I installed Sunabh ROM. (He adds a switch off wifi notification to hide this fault. Cunning.)
Any solutions ? May be re-flash the radio or change the kernel ?
Dude, attack the CID bug.
I resolved my issue without even switching of my phone once, let alone flashing anything.
Running for more than 2 days now. \m/
Hi All,
I have a problem with my Wildfire S A510e whereby the battery of the new phone does not last even 4 hours.
After fully charging the phone, the battery consumption is high even without using Wi-FI or 3G or GPS.
After fully charging the phone, all i did was attended a call and spoke for 2 Minutes.
After 3 hours, the phone battery was only 20% and the process that was consuming most battery was "Dialer".
This is ridiculous.
Dialer should be the one consuming least power, given that i used the phone to talk only for 2 minutes. I believe this is a problem with the Stock ROM and i hope to get an update for this problem.
I am using
Software Build Number 1.66.401.1
Kernel 2.6.35.10
Baseband 47.10g.35
Please guide.
Its a bug that exists in all wildfire s stock roms and from what i've read not just wildfire s but a large selection of gingerbread phones.
I would just ignore it, i dont think it has much impact really mate.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e
G'day Mate...Thanks for the response.
How much is your battery lasting?
And Isn't the battery getting exhausted in no time an "Impact"?
I literally am required to be plugged in to AC Point all day long. I can't go out without worrying that my battery will get exhausted :-(
it always shows 59% for me in dialer usage , stock battery never lasted long enough. it drys off to soon. made me feel like throwing off the phone in a river, so i bought a mugen power battery.. after full charge i kept it idle for 10 hours, battery remaining was "97%"
stock battery is 1230mah mugen is 1500 mah , buying new battery is beneficial.
i have no issues with battery now.
I have seen my dialer in the 90ish% battery is not great think its htc sense because now I'm using CM7 port my battery life has seemed to double and that's no exaggeration.
To get more out of your battery turn off all data sync, wifi, GPS off when not needed.
Are you rooted and are you running a stock rom?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S
Dialer starts sapping battery after you've used the dialer interface once (dialing out / receiving calls).
You need to reboot the phone to stop it.
or kill the dialer storage process a few times to cause the phone to soft reboot (5sec reboot)
The long term solution is to S-Off and run a custom rom.
I am using htc wildfire s salsa port by jikintaru and my dialer is always at 92-95% after call
I think he is draining my battery even when my phone is in iddle state.
My battery lasts for 1.5 day with low call,wifi usage...
Is there anything i can do to fix this couse i am on nice rom?
Thank you in advance
Its a gingerbread bug, but like i said earlier ignore it, don't think it has a real effect.
My girlfriend has the same dialer issue on her htc chacha

What CM7 port are you using, as I know no official CM7 port has been made?
On my phone it is allways showing 97% dialer battery usage, but I think it's just a false reading. If you use some other battery monitor program like Badass battery monitor you can see what apps used most power.
New Stock ROM
A new stock ROM is available

If you goto the development section for wildfire s you will see the unofficial cm7 by alquez.
If your s-off and rooted check it out mate it really is good.

This rom is really good and very fast but has a few bugs, for example: you must turn off flash while you taking a photo beacause the app is going to crash
I recommend to use one of "jikantaru " rom
There is a much easier fix for this.
If you go into Settings>Sound and disable "Quiet Ring on Pickup", "Pocket Mode" and "Flip for Speaker" it should improve your battery life massively. All of these constantly monitor the accelerometer via the Dialer app and drain the battery. Try it!

Thanks. I actually tried these after looking for more info on a Android forum but it never really helped much.
I hope they fix this dialer problem and freezing problem in this phones
Other then that i like it verry much...
I have this as well. A fix I found that seems to work is, after making a call, restart the phone. It will get rid of the Dialer process. A bit frustrating to restart the phone each time, but it does work.
And in response to turning off pocket mode, speaker, etc., they do help with battery improvement. I'd strongly recommend everyone turns these settings OFF for better battery life

I can confirm that the latest ruu 2.13.401.2 euro which is the latest htc rom that upgrades gingerbread to 2.3.5 and gives the new lock screen does NOT have the dialer issue.
It does not even show dialer at all in battery usage.
Edit:
Didn't realise i was charging, now im off the charger im a 98%.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S
Figured it out!!
The issue for me was that the Maps app had not been used before and was waiting at the initial Accept screen. Once I accepted, battery usage is completely normal! The problem is in the Maps app, not in the Dialer. There must be an infinite loop around waiting for the Accept button to be clicked.
Thanks for the advice here about using Badass Battery Monitor. It helped me figure out that the real offender was Maps, not Dialer (there must be some bug here that results in the mis-reporting).
Did they fix dialer problem in 2.3.5 version?Can anyone confim this?
I am using method
"I've disable gsm proximity sensor and now this issue gone! Yeah! I've set 'gsm.proximity.enable=false' in build.prop before flashing a 2.3.3 rom."
With this method i dont have proximity sensor so when on call you have to press power button to hang-up,turn on screen or turn on speakerphone but there is no dialer issues no more for days for me...
Dialer seems ok on mine, been updated to 2.3.5 for 24 hours made and received few calls and dialer is only 13% and to be honest the battery life is an amazing improvement from HTC.
Will carry on testing. The battery is as good if not better than cm7.

Are you rooted or no? Go through accounts and sync and turn off what you don't need. Go to apps in settings and remove + disable as many apps and services as you can as long as they aren't vital to your os. Don't use HTC preinstalled software; it drains battery.
Turn screen brightness to auto. Try to use a plain wallpaper preferrably dark. Remove a lot of widgets from your wallpaper. Turn off haptic feedback and only show some animations. Reboot your phone.

ive no accounts yet , and ive disabled all animations
Do a battery test. You should get 88percent left after test.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I got about 78% after the built in HTC battery test, directly after a format. Unfortunately according to the test, over 70% is a pass.
How long did you play this Glowball Demo? 3D Games consume a lot of Battery. Also, turn on USB Debugging, in some cases this also helps.

any reason why that would help with battery life? though that only kicked in once a USB is connected?
Sorry, but I can't give a reason. I read something about /init Process that does take CPU time and might drain the battery. But I'm not this deep into the system.
A friend of mine uses a DHD and on his device it worked significantly. So I'm only telling what I heard :/

Hi all
After sitting with my stock SGS4 (i9505) for a few months I decided to root (as i had my N7000 and HTC Desire).
About the same time as this my phone began turning off seemingly randomly. At first i thought this may be a ROM/Kernel issue but I have tried a couple including Stock(rooted), Carbon and the GooglePlay Rom. The same thing happens for all of them.
Once off, the phone boots to splash screen then turns off. This cycles. I remove the battery and the phone will turn on, sometimes showing a SIGNIFICANT apparent drop in battery (90% reduces to 3% during this single on/off cycle). A quick charge and restart will often cause the rebooted phone to read the battery at 90% again.
The battery does appear slightly swollen and i'm curious if anyone could shed any light on:
1) does this seem a battery / firmware issue and
2) any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
Currently: GooglePlay Rom 4.2.2 PhilZTouch Recovery
Regards
Warnoceros
If you're saying the battery is "swollen" it probably is a battery issue IMO. Especially if you're having problems on every ROM you've tried.
Have you tried going back to stock to see if it's still happening?
Hi
Thanks for replying. I'm downloading stock now so will report in the morning.

Hi,
So, went back to stock (binary counter has moved up unfortunately - didnt read into that before hand). Was still rebooting. Have replaced battery and this seems to have done the trick for the time being. I noticed that the unit did not reset until my google accout restored apps to the phone so there is still a chance it was a bad app i suppose.
Most likely the battery though
Thanks

Hello everyone i got an Optimus g pro e980 with a custom rom downloaded from here ( i had the same problem on original firmware.. )
if i pull battery out for example or simply just turn off the phone.. i'm not able to boot it again without plugging the charger and wait for the battery charge icon..
i think the battery has some problems as.. sometimes.. form 68% when i turn off the phone it shows 10% or lower...
i also have some random reboots some times.. it may be the battery?.. screen also flickered for a minute but not has gone .. thank you.
Which ROM are you using? Screen flickering can be fixed by turning off the hw overlay in the developer's options. As for the battery, try get a calibrating app from the play store, else get a battery repair app to see if your battery can be fixed. My OEM battery is broken, which causes random reboot since it supplies power intermittently.

Can't tell about random reboots if no logs, can be anything with this phone. Mine likes to reboot because network changed from LTE to H+, or just out of sheer 'I wanna mess with my owner, for no reason at all' Because annoying the owners with bad temper is good for business
For screen flickering - do as hawkwind212 said, or try with other ROMs (I'm guessing you're using CM if you suffer from those)
