Hi all,
A few days ago I noticed my data connection lags and it takes a while until tha up and down arrow start blinking under the H indicator.
Sometimes it is fine.
Also several times I noticed in an are with 4 bars my connection would drop completely, shie no bars and show a little x instead and then a minute or two later it would come back. Tried factory reset, did not help...
Does anybody know what is going on?
I have done the true perma root and unlock as posted in the development sticky.
I also removed some bloatware which do not come back when I do a factory restore. Not sure if that matters though or of it is related.

Are you running the stock rom? I'm guessing so. If you went through and deleted a bunch of stuff you very easily could have deleted something you didn't want to.
I would suggest grabbing the stock nandroid restore from the thread in the development section and going back to a clean install. See if that helps.

im not rooted and i have the same issues. Going from full bars to nothing and then it lights back up. I assume it has something to do with the tower its connected to
Sometimes I only get phone call reception and no data,I call T-Mobile and they say I'm not in a 4g area,but for the past months I've been here and get the 4g full signal..this only happens like twice a month.its a big problem with their towers.

I'm sure it's a radio issue. Happens to mine and my roommates MT4Gs. And since we don't have another radio, we're kind of SOL there.
I've had my mt4g since they dropped, and it's only started doing this to me recently... when it happens, I go to the APN's and reset to default... it seeeeeeeeems to work (for a short time), but then it goes right back to sucking...
You can also just toggle airplane mode. Will bring speeds back up for a short time.

Try it at own risk, I am not responsible for any problems. It worked for me
This is my second sensation with the same issue. I got my second sensation approximately 6 days ago, after my first sensation developed the lock screen issues. Well today I started to experience the same lock screen issues that plagued my first sensation. Well I did a little checking around and I think I might have found a solution to the problem. I have an app installed called mybackup pro. I have been using this app for a while and it has come in real handy in restoring my phone. There is a free version available in the market. I used the paid version. I opened mybackup pro, and I just like to say that I DON'T HAVE anything to do with the app in regards to any monetary gain, basically I just use the app. I opened the ap, i clicked on cancel for the password, clicked on back up, data, local (/mnt/sdcard) check all, and let it back up all the settings. Well I went into my settings/applications/manageapplications/all. i then clicked on the first htc sense tab and cleared the data. You will be prompted with something to the pop up stating that all the applications data will be permanently deleted. I clicked ok and then clicked on the second htc sense tab and did the same thing. You will notice that all your widgets and everything will be deleted from your phone. I rebooted my phone and then opened mybackup pro and clicked on restore, data, local (/mnt/sdcard), data and the most resent date, I ONLY CHECKED MARKED SYSTEM SETTINGS, ANDROID HOME, AND CLICKED ON OK. Let it do its thing and when it is finished it will ask you to reboot your phone. Your phone should be extremely close to the way you had it before (widget wise). And in my case my lock screen is working again. I hope this helps anyone else. Again, It worked for me.
Holy wall of text batman

Please update this thread periodically even if your method doesn't work.
Did this allow sense to operate more smoothly on your device?
I don't even understand what the issue was meant to be in the first place!!
Sorry for the long entry but i was trying to be as specific as i possibly could for everyone, and yes my lock screen responds perfectly.
This post was meant for anyone experiencing lockscreen unresponsiveness on their phones.

I already tried clearing the data from both Sense applications and then rebooted my phone. I didn't make a back up of everything so Sense was back to the way it came from the factory. Long story short. It didn't work for me. I still had the lock screen issue.

also another trick to faulty lockscreen found on another post, when the phone lay flat on table lock seems to be trouble to unlock unless u pick the phone up in ur hands...but if u have it laying on table flat and grab left side of lock and drag it to the left and the up it works everytime for me...seems the left part of the lockscreen is always ok lol (something to do with phone being grounded)
Ok, the only difference is that I restored my settings using mybackup pro. Could that have been the difference.

I think the way the app and ring move together is what causes the lock issue. I think its just the physics of the ring/app moving together causing the issue. Thats my guess. Other than the lockscreen buggy I have no touch screen issues. YOU?
Wifi problem and as of today the lock screen issue started. He lockscreen issue has been resolved.

Yup, I think I agree with that. There are some issues that just don't make any sense though. Why does it become responsive after touching the ring two to three times. It will stay responsive like it should until you turn the display off. I just can't wrap my finger around it.
Could it be something with sense?

Probably is. I seriously don't know why everyone praises HTC. They are going in the wrong direction with Sense. Instead of making it less intrusive, there making it more intrusive with SENSELESS eye candy. HTC needs to take a page out of Samsung's book in my opinion. There making there UI (Touch Wiz) less intrusive but still keeping the features that make Android better.
Sorry to say but this 3D eye candy isn't making anything better and it's quite obvious HTC half assed Sense 3.0.
LOL, Well comming from 6 G2X this is an upgrade. Hahahaha

Are you charging this via the stock charger, or via USB pc? If using a wall charger is the outlet grounded or the old two prong style outlet? I had this issue when using the stock charger in an ungrounded outlet when I was at a friends house for the week.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Yes i am using the stock charger
I don't know if this works for you guys .. but I had that lockscreen issue as well. I noticed that when I play with my wifes phone its perfectly smooth and unlocks with a single swipe. And she can unlock mine easily and never been a problem.The only thing difference is that she didn't take off that screen protector. I have oily skin type so I guess it must be my finger getting sticky. Went to tmobile and got a screen protector and it solves all the problem. Sounds silly but it worked for me and I haven't had a single lockscreen issue in four days as opposed to 4 out of five times before. Hope this helps ..

Dear All Sensation Owner,
I bought Sensation the first day it came out. And I went back Tmobile store for exchanged due to this issue. (which means this is the second phone)
Both phones have the same issues: Keep restarting itself!
My phone may restart for about 5~10 times a day.
It happens whenever I'm quitting a program (ex: Facebook, Contacts, MAP..etc) and it just restart itself to a white background with HTC logo screen. (T-mobile welcome screen "stick together" does NOT show up at this situation)
I'm wondering if anyone having the same issues with me. This has bothered me way too much! Should I exchange for a new one or just need patient for the update
Thanks!!!
The 5-10 reboots per day is not normal. Mine rebooted once in the 7 days that I've had it.
What you are experiencing is a soft reboot. Try factory resetting, if it doesn't help, by all means take it back.
i think this is just an Android OS problem , my brother has a THUNDERBOLT on verizon and he gets random reboots all the time ,same for his wifes droid x , hers is phucked , it restarted three times in three hours when i was by their house the other day and his once , my sensation has rebooted itself three times in two weeks so i guess i cant complain
Your phone isn't rebooting, it is Sense that is rebooting. The app or apps that you are using are using up too much memory to keep Sense running in the background. Instead of not allowing you to use your apps, your phone is freeing up space by disabling Sense. Try using the back key to exit out of applications instead of the home key. This kills the app rather than leaving it active in the background.
Either way, I'm not saying there isn't something wrong with your phone, there very well may be. I haven't had that issue at all, but two phones with the same exact issue leads me to think it is, atleast in part, a user-caused issue. Good luck man.

Completely stock phone... I never messed with it from day 1.
So here's the thing... everytime I take a subway and after the get out from underground the phone never regains the 4g data icons... the signals are there but it doesnt let me browse the web or use any apps that require a data signal.
Restarting the phone solves the problem...
But at work everytime I go to the basement and come out.. I completely lose the signal and do not automatically regain it once I'm out on the street... this made me miss many calls and incoming texts... I also switched my sum card 2 weeks ago for the newest 4g Sims... it helped for about 2 days.. but now same thing happens all over again..
Any tips?

Try toggling flight mode on then back off.

Did that... it rarely works... but either way... its not good when a phone can't regain a signal... because its in my jeans the whole time... and I get a lot of missed calls due to that... its horrible.
Does anyone else experience this problem with their galaxy s?

If you've always been using stock, then you should try your hand at flashing GB.
Try out some new modems too. It might solve your problem.
Anyone else have this problem? I'm using the stock rom with three uk unrooted.
Every day at least three times my phones data connection locks up and I have to go into plane mode then back to fix it.
Is there a fix for this? It's driving me crazy now.

Have you checked your APN settings? If you are not sure what they are, ring 3 and ask them to resend them to your phone.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Yeah they are exactly as they should be. The connection is fine for about 20 minutes then dies again. The h symbol is still there but the up and down arrows stop and texts won't send and xda pages don't load. It's very annoying

Big Time problems! It started a week ago where I lost data and was advised by Rogers techs to "Try" a bunch of things and was told to do a "Factory Data Reset". I hated to but they said it was the thing they knew to try. Did it and got data backi for a few days and now I have NO Service and can't connect at all. They are sending new phone and will be here hopefully tomorrow.
It's 4 g lte and never switches and when I look at data it just said connecting and when put in and out of airplane mode it said connected and then works

I guess I'll wait till the ota update and if that doesn't fix it I'll exchange for another one
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I think i had this problem, lost all data connectivity until i either restarted or toggled airplane mode.
My sim didn't look like it was correctly installed because the tray was protruding a little bit. I removed the sim tray and messed with the card a bit, it looks like it fits better and i haven't had a problem in 2 days.
Battery has also been better since then, hope this helps if we're having the same problem.
I'll try it thanks

It's not just you. My phone did this a few times while I was at school. At first I thought I just lost connection cuz I get crappy reception anyway but after a whilr I noticed it wasn't reconnecting so I restarted and it turned on again. It happened 3 times while at school. 0 at home.
I've only had it for about 24 hours so I'll let you know if it happens again

Happened to me today too. A quick airplane mode fixes it But if it starts happening all the time then ill be pissed.
