Random reboots. what can I do? - HTC Amaze 4G

I have an s-off,unlocked bootloader and custom rom htc amaze. My phone keeps rebooting randomly. It even rebooted when it was s-on and locked bootloader with the stock rom. I don't know what to do I got a new battery as well,Anker battery I bought off amazon. Even with the new battery it still reboot randomly. Is it the phone or the battery? the battery that came with the phone I knew it was messed up because it kept dying really quick and it took forever to charge. Even tho I got the phone new at T-Mobile. I don't have the same contract anymore I got a new contract so I don't have insurance on the phone.

When I start getting random reboots, the first thing I try is recalibrating the battery. The battery stats can get out of whack when flashing a new rom or installing a new battery which will cause random rebooting.
To reset the battery stats:
1) Charge your phone to 100%
2) Reboot into Recovery and select clear battery stats (or use a app like BatteryCalibration to reset stats without using Recovery mode)
3) Reboot into Rom (if recovery method used)
4) Use phone and do not charge until it dies, then fully recharge. Suggest repeating step 4 two or three times.

I've done that already. But it still reboots

Are you using 4ext recovery? If not switch to it, it works better than the other recoveries on HTC phones.
Have you tried reflashing the stock ICS RUU? When I first upgraded to ICS and flashed a custom rom, my phone was doing weird things and was unstable. Was still acting the same when I tried a different custom rom. So I decided to start fresh and wiped everything then reflashed the stock rom. After that, I wiped everything again and flashed a custom rom again. Everything has been fine since (knock on wood).
If that's not it, I'm out of ideas and hope someone more knowledgeable will chime in.
PS. Don't do a restore to the stock rom if you made a backup. Actually flash the stock rom.

Change your battery. It's been mentioned on here more than a dozen times.

I'll try going back to stock like you said thanks

Re flash the RUU and reinstall the custom rom. Something gets messed up from battery pulls so don't do them

is that true? I've been doing that every time my screen freezes, getting some crazy random reboots... and by the way whats RUU ?

Ive been using cm10 on my amaze and no random reboots u should try it with 300mhz as minimum speed and 1.2-1.5ghz max speed and use 4ext recovery and remember to do a full wipe and cache + dalvik wipe... if for any reason the reboots continue buy this http://www.amazon.com/EZOPower-Stan...1354770987&sr=1-69&keywords=htc+amaze+battery

Battery meter sticking?

Recently I've had a problem where my battery meter doesnt go down till I reboot. Sometimes it will, and then it'll drop like 15% or so. I've had 100% for like thirty minutes now and its kinda scaring me.
Das Bamf 1.3.2
Ziggys 4.6.11 CFS kernel
Edit: it just dropped to 97%... No 99 or 98

I had the same problem on Das Bamf....couldn't figure it out. I'm on Perfect Storm now and have no problem with it reading correctly now. I like Das Bamf but can't use it until that is working.

I'm not so sure its a problem with the Rom. It didn't start happening till I wiped my battery stats a couple of times.

i been having the same problem but only on my extended battery. if i put my stock one in it reads it just fine and it drops down. when i put my extended battery in it gets stuck forever and if i reboot the phone i lose like 30 percent later on in the day. i did all the methods i can find.
bump charge the phone wipe status let it discharge completely recharge it full and still nothing. i dont worry about my phone dying because its the extended battery but its just more annoying than anything

Well I am having the same problem, except I am on the stock rom, and have never wiped my battery data. I am however rooted, and removed some of the verizon bloat (e.g. blockbuster, ect). Stock battery as well. The indicator and widgets will show the correct percentage on boot, but will not update after that.
I noticed it last night when I was trying different battery widgets. I have tried removing them, rebooting, nothing seems to help.
***UPDATE***
I think I fixed my problem, i'm not sure if they are all related, but here is what I found. I noticed I was getting a force close by SuperUser. So I force stopped it and cleared its data. Did a reboot and now all seems well. No force closed and the indicator appears to be updating.
I'm using battery left widget its fixing my battery metter

Ive been having this with every rom, well virus roms for sure, I just drain the battery all the way down until it dies, then after i fully charge it, it refreshes... goodluck

The display, will likely be the majority of your battery use, but if you really want to study what your phone is doing. You can use CPU Spy from the market, which will tell you how much time it spends sleeping, and how much time it spends at certain clockspeeds. Spare Parts is also a useful tool for checking to see how much battery is used up by specific applications. Another thing to look at is your wallpaper....I've seen in the past where certain live wallpapers, will continue to run while the screen is off and keep the phone awake.
Ive read some people have had wake issues after flashing another kernel, are you on stock or something like netarchy?
The screen being at that percentage doesn't mean it's not sleeping. The display always takes the most power. Compare your up time and your awake time. If they're the same or close, your phone isn't sleeping. Make sure your phone has been on for a day or so. The more time in the counters, the more accurate.

My phone isn't sleeping as well. It started when I upgraded from SteelRom v 1.01 to 1.02. Since then I've downgraded back to 1.01, tried different backups I've had, wiped cache and no avail. Not sure what to do next. I haven't checked Spare Parts though, I'll check that after I'm done backing up my apps (just in case of a fresh install of a ROM is needed)
I also had wakelock a few times on a stock, unrooted ROM before S-OFF was even available. I had to do a factory reset to fix it.

Try wiping Dalvik, and cache and flashing a different kernel.
sent from my...click, click boom
Turns out it was an app. Either Titanium Backup or MyBackup Root. Go figure. I believe it was MyBackup root though, I didn't install TB until this morning after the wakelock started. Maybe with the ROM upgrade via flashing messed the app up. I bet a reinstall of the app would have fixed it.
Just flashed viperrom. Hopefully its fixed.

HTC AMAZE Keeps shutting down

Every day my HTC AMAZE 4g keeps shutting down multiple times a day, is there a fix or should I request another one from T-Mobile?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA
I'm having the same issue. 4-5 times a day it'll just shut down and then take it's sweet time rebooting. Im rooted running stock 2.3.4 trying to upgrade to ICS which kind of tumbles into another issue. I'm trying to do the update to ICS via the OTA update and when it powers down it just boots into the Bootloader screen. My status for my bootloader shows <RELOCKED> followed by <SECURITY WARNING>.
If anyone could shed a little insight that'd be aces.
The random reboot issue seems to be battery related from what others have stated.

I can confirm this. I called t-mo and they basically told me that I'm SOL on a battery replacement. So, I got the Anker 2 pack on Amazon for 30 bucks, and I haven't had a reboot since.
Had the same issue. Called HTC tech support bypassing T-Mobile since I use a different carrier. HTC sent me a replacement battery.

I guess I should call HTC as well. I thought about calling them, but the Anker has a big better so I didn't mind plopping down 30 for 2 batteries.
Mine shuts down also. Then when it boots back up it has 20% less battery -.- isn't that annoyin ? Lol

you have a faulty battery.
this sounds like a recall-type of deal here. i'm having the same issues with my oem battery. called htc the other day, and they wanted my cc info to replace the battery. i'd still have to pay for shipping the old one back to them. will try calling again, and see if i can get one for free lol

same thing with mine. went through 2 amaze 4g's and 5 batteries in 2 months. I end up buying a new battery once every 2 weeks.
One thing i know that WILL kill my battery is if i plug it into the outlet on an amtrak train. Every time i exit the train, its dead. Learned that the hard way.
I also keep the rubber case that came with it off. It happens less and less that way. I think it's overheating, since it was very hot out each time.
Hello guys,
I've also about the same problem, My Amaze is Asian version with JuopunutBear S-OFF and ICS Speed Rom installed.
The problem with my phone is that while its charging or in use, it doesn't shut down, but when idle for some time with no music application running in background, it shut down.
then it doesn't turn on unless you pull the battery for a while and re insert it,
Can anyone plz tell me what's the issue, is it battery or some culprit application?
Thanks
I had the same issue on my phone. It was due to the kernel issue .I flashed super wipe once & flashed backup again . Now my battery is ok & I found no rendom shutdowns anymore . try this if it helps you.

which kernal you're using now??
I used to had the same issue. Tried updating Android using stock, changing the ROM to a custom one (CM, Energizer, etc.), changing the kernel. nothing seemed to help. In the meantime, I bought a battery from eBay. Took about 3,5 to 4 months to arrive (yeah, **** me, I'm from Argentina). I put it on and VOILÀ. Holy solution.
It is an Anker one, so it has more capacity also

[*SOLVED* ]Brick my Razr?

Hi All,i have problem with my phone...
Flashed carbon ROM,the official one, all went OK with the installation, but when I try to charge the battery look like don't charge,no circle animations of the battery icon,I think it's a problem with the car charger, but I tried with all charger in my house,with the original one with the nexus 7 and the one of my old galaxy s,but only appear the white led....
It happened few times so I leaved it charge all the night and try to turn on and it did but after the recovery check red led and turn off...
So try again and the second time I went into recovery and wipe system cachae dalvik and battery stats and flash cm 10.1 rc3 but again the same problem.
In the recovery (bbm) the battery stay a 99% for few minutes then go to 4% and after I flash go to 0% and after two minutes shot down
My question is,I have a micro USB problem a battery one or software one? Don't really know what do this time

Try using a factory cable and RSDLite it to stock ROM.
Then plug it in and see if the battery is charged.

Don't know why it won't charge last time...
I was on the 4.2.2. Carbon (no clean install ) and i belive the problem was from the software part
