Hi there,
new HTC Sensaton arrived today - and I have problem with it. It vibrates very loud - it's even uncomfortable to use it in quiet places (vibrations when using buttons). When the back cover is off it's fine - it's perfectly quiet. When it's on - some part of back cover just vibrates, or something between the body and back cover cracks. I did some tests with foam tape inside - sometimes helps, sometimes not, also it's not what you want to do with a new phone.
Anybody else expecting this problem ? Is replacement the only solution ?
Thanks!

I don't have the Sensation yet, but you should be able to deactivate the haptic feedback without problems - just go to Settings -> Sound and disable "Haptic feedback". This won't affect incoming call or messaging vibrations, only the very annoying touch vibrations most Android phones come preconfigured with. If there are still other places that show haptic feedback, special settings in that specific application are typically to blame (like call dialer-feedback which has its own preference panel on most phones; keyboard vibration on some keypads which can be disabled under Settings -> Language & Keyboard).

I know that - but I do like vibrate feedback of touch operations. I use it now in Desire HD, and I want to keep it. Also I don't expect it to be a problem with every Sensation. I just hope that someone got same problem and managed to fix the hardware - using hammer or something like that.

I have noticed this bug on my Atom with O2 Plus and need confirmation from other users before I try to feedback to their support.
I have found that my Atom intermittently does not sound Notifications and Alarms. Couldn't figure why for awhile then I discovered this workaround :
1.
Using O2 Plus, switch profile to Silent. You will notice speaker icon on the top bar shows muted.
2.
Switch profile back to Normal. The icon at the top bar now shows the speaker as ON (but actually notifications and remoinders will now fail i.e. not sounding)
3.
Go to Settings / Sounds & Notifications / Notifications
On the Event drop down, select reminders
4.
You will see your notification alarm sound with a "test play" button.
Hit the test play button a couple of times, then wait a few seconds.
5.
You will mysteriously see the speaker status in the top bar change to MUTE !!! Click on it, turn speaker back on, close all the windows. Your notifications will now sound correctly at the appointed alarms and calendar times.
It seems the O2 Plus profile when switching back from silent to normal does not do a full job in turning on the notification sounds, just system sound or something like that.
If you carry out this procedure everytime you switch your profile you will no longer have missing / silent notifications !
Can other users confirm this bug / phenomenon ?
Anyone able to write a simple proggy or script to do the above procedure automatically ?
Haven't noticed it before, and I haven't missed any notifications, but you're right.
yeah i noticed this!!!THANKS FOR THE FIX!
just to add.besides notifications, you also lose screen taps when switching from different profiles.this apparently is not fixed by your solution.
Does this happen to any one or is it just me?
I have an ordinary case for my Touch Pro. Almost 10 out of 10 times when the phone rings and I reach out to my phone, try to take it out - boom - the call becomes a missed call. I guess what is happening here is that once the phone rings, the screen is active and either your finger accidentally touches the volume key or any other key or even the screen, it makes it a missed call. It is very annoying and how to avoid this????
Thanks

there is a key disabler cab look for it
There are many options how to disable the touchscreen.
There was a topic not long ago about this.
Answerkey Disabler
PocketShield (I currently use this one)
TouchProLock
Sensorlock
Throttlelock
S2U2 (not recommended for TP, drains the battery for unknown reason)
All these deal with locking the TP.
Sorry for not posting links but I don't have much time. All of them are available on XDA though.
You do have the option of extending the time it takes for a call to go to voice mail, it can be extended up to 30 seconds. The option is under settings > phone > Services > Call Forwarding
There is also a lot of lag on between the time the caller's phone is ringing and you get a ring on the Fuze
I guess this is not because of the keys. Just keep the phone in front of you and try to call your phone and see your self, first you will see the incoming call indicator light, and after some time you will start hearing the ring tone. Now by the time you take the phone from the case - it's a miss call. I tried to search all over XDA but didn't find a way to start ringing immediately when call comes, I read some where that this is due to the dialer skin and by using default WM dialer this can be fixed. I didn't try this.

I think he was talking about the touchscreen being active on incoming calls.
If however the problem is in the delay, then the dialer skin is the key.
You have to change it to the WM default (it does work, the lag is almost gone) and have the ringtone in WAV format (not tested, I didn't bother to put any wavs).
if you get rid of the dialer and switch to WM
you will lose functionality including the symbol to show bluetooth being on or off
I downloaded and installed disableanswerkeys and it works fine. It took a while for me to understand the cryptic question it asks in the beginning - i get stumped if there are two negatives in a sentence So It is on and i tried and it works ok. I also downloaded sensorlock and throttlelock. Yet to try these ... will post my comments.
the lag in answering the call - i believe there is a separate thread about that, right?
Thanks for the help

LOL, that's what happened to my bluetooth......thanks
I posted this on the Verizon forums and it was suggested that I also post here looking for an answer so here it goes.
My phone will randomly turn sound off. According to all sound profiles my sound is on and it should make noise when ringing or text messages come in. The problem is that the sounds will randomly turn off but not necessarily all of them. I may receive text notifications and not rings or vice versa or I may not receive either. Then randomly they will come back and I will receive all the sound notifications.
I recently had my phone replaced and once I got the new one it began doing the same thing. I just can't believe that it is a coincidence that I would get two phones (both brand new) that would do the same thing. In an effort to fix it I updated my firmware on my old phone and everything but did not help.
I love this phone and I don't want to get rid of it and I don't want to go back to the Verizon store if there is a fix for it.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
Hi,
I also have an Omnia II. And I do not have those issues. But what I do know is that there is an option that if you flip your phone (with the screen facing ground) the sound will shut off if someone is calling. Like if you are in a meeting and someone is calling, you just turn your phone and the sounds is then silenced.
You can find these this setting in Start>Settings>Basic settings>Motion setting
(could be other names as I use a Dutch windows)

This is the most likely problem. They set it up so that, even if the phone is tiled just slightly downward, the sound will be turned off. They really should have made it a more direct-downward position. If you turn that off and still have problems then check to make sure you're not activating a silent mode with the volume-down rocker on the side of the phone. Holding the rocker down for a few seconds will put the phone into either vibrate or silent. Hope you get it figured out!
Hi All:
I have used more than one HTC smartphones (One S & M8), then I left HTC for Samsung because of a thing it could sound strange but it is about my control over my smartphone & how I feel regarding the smartphone I'm using.
I have two questions I'd like from A9 owners to answer me regarding it:-
1- Vibration feedback .... when you answer a call & the phone screen is on, HTC UI will assume that you need to be notified that your call have been answered by vibrating ....... in A9 is the case still the same or I can stop vibrating completely ??
2- Vibration feedback when using fingerprint scanner ........... again I read some where every time you use fingerprint scanner the phone will vibrate when you pass the lock !!!!!!!!!!!!??
I hope the case is not the same anymore, HTC should stop this vibrating stuff since the battery is already small & vibrating consume more power & for me it is so annoying thing.
a Smartphone should only vibrate when I want it to vibrate, it is something up to me not to HTC UI or Android !
You can disable haptic feedback once and for all in settings.
No by disable haptic feedback.
Iam still facing same, i already disable all haptic feedback and all vibrations.
When I am on a call using bluetooth, I can touch the connection label that used to allow me to switch to phone speaker, or speaker option. This is useful when going from by care to the office and back to a BT headset.
For the last few updates, this screen is blank when selected. I can touch the middle of the white space where the menu used to be and go to the phone speakers, but I can not see the menu items any longer.
Has anyone seen this?
Is there a setting or a fix for this?
I have been having the same problem for the last couple of months. Not found a solution yet and not great because I basically can't switch speaker devices during a call. Any have any ideas?
I had the same exact issue on my phone. What fixed it for me was changing my Preset Theme in Settings > Customization. I don't remember what I picked because I formatted my phone after that but I believe it was Vibrant tints. Just try changing the preset, check if it fixed it and then do more fine tuning with the accent color etc.
Hope this helps you as well, I know it was driving me crazy
