II am upgradable on June 10 and intend to get a Sensation the minute I can at Tmobile.
BUT........ The touchscreen issue....
Could any of you folks who have the US version PLEASE post on this thread your experiences with the touchscreen?
I am dumping my Blackberry and need the touchscreen to work properly, as I will be doing tons of emails, texting, etc
Thanks all
Working wonderfully with no issues. Even if it is lying flat. No lockscreen problems. I'll go see what problems the Euros were having and try and recreate.
-Edit-
Some people said it took a couple of days for the problem to show so we will see as us US folks have had it max 24 hours right now. I can do everything smooth on my lockscreen while it's flat on the table with nothing near the proximity sensor. I can sneak up on it ninja like from under the desk and still works.
i played with one today in the store and the touchscreen worked great also , no lockscreen issues
working great for me(24 hours).
Thanks for the input. Very curious to see how they are after a few days.
I'm in Vegas and my TMOBILE store has nothing more than a dummy at this point, so hopefully the first batch out here is corrected.
Keep us posted

Same here, just got in a few min ago, played with it a good 10 min and was impressed with it.
The thing that really stood out was how quick the camera will take pictures, totally unexpected on a cell phone.
I will be getting one on Fathers Day.
very responsive on mines
Had mine for 24 hours no issues at all..fast!
I switched from a blackberry as well worried about the touchscreen keyboard, but I actually end up licking the touchscreen much more it's just as good as physical keys. It's very responsive and perfect with texting.

I just got one and the touchscreen seems to be okay although I have gotten a few instances where it did not respond to my touch.
Edit: Just had the touchscreen become unresponsive to touch in one panel and then become okay when switched to another panel.
How about against iPhone? Is it as good as iPhone?

I had similiar issues with mine. It hapepened three times that some of the shortcuts didnt respond right away and I had to either open another app or go to task manager to open the non-responding app(it happened with contacts, maps and pandora). I am not sure if it is touchscreen problem or a sowtware problem but hoping it wont get any worse. No problems with unlock screens though.
I have had one in my store for about 4 or 5 days now. When i get in tomorrow morning ill try to re-create and report back!

This phone is so sexy looking and feels so awesome to hold... I couldn't blame anyone for getting intimate with it.
Been using it a lot flat on the desk, not one problem yet so far with the touchscreen. Work is slow today so I've been doing nothing but phone playing.
I just had my touch screen stop responding until reboot twice. I think it's a software issue since rebooting cleared it up. Something is going to be freezing it up, I'll try to get a logcat next time it happens
ive had my tmobile sensation for about 8 hours and had no problems with the screen so far.. texting is nice on this phone its pretty accurate for me.
DrewMullen
Hey Drew, or anyone else with a US Sensation.......
How's the touchscreen after several days??
TIA
I've had mine since June 8th from Walmart and have had absolutely no issues with the touch screen.

After looking through these threads and looking at peoples phones with and without issues, it seems all the devices made with a shipping date starting in June is better than the ones that have been made on 5/24 like some of ours including mines. I've seen that peoples shipping dates (the dates they see on the back of their sensation boxes) usually don't have the crazy landscape WiFi issues, Bluetooth issue, and now a better screen if their devices shipping date started in June. Can some of you guys confirm this?

Mine is a 6/1/11 unit and I have no issues. In addition, I believe my screen looks better than depicted in the reviews.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk
Mine is 6/2 and I have no issues at all.
Where can I find the date on the box?
Mine is also 6/2/11. The only issue (if you even want to call it that) is the drop in the WiFi signal when I cover up the top portion of the phone. However, in order for this to occur, the phone has to be held in a rather unnatural way. For me, this is a non-issue.
Mine is 6/1 on the box. The battery cover has a date of 5/17. All my initial issues with cell signal were fixed with a new style sim and my random WiFi drops unrelated to death grip seemed to have been fixed by flashing a newer version of dd-wrt on my router. No other issues to report here.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Mine has a date of 5/30 and has no problems whatsoever. The only problem it has was the WiFi Death Grip issue but I fixed that by boosting the WiFi reception on the phone. Mine doesn't even drop a single bar anymore. Even when I'm laying in bed which is on a different floor than the router.
Like someone else said. My display also looks better than others I have seen. Two guys at my work have the Sensation and even they asked me why my display looked better. I was expecting this phone to perform bad in sunlight but it performs better than any phone I have used in the past 2 years (Nexus One, Nexus S, Vibrant and G2X) just to name a few. I really can't believe how bright the display is. The colors almost pop off the screen like on a Super AMOLED.
I also see people reporting only 115mb of available memory on a fresh reboot but I get almost 300mb of free memory on a fresh boot. My Sensation also doesn't seem as stutter in the UI as the two guys I work with or like I have seen in videos.
Maybe your on to something with the dates but it also includes some shipped in late may.
My box reads 5/30/11 and so far is working good...also not experiencing the numerous issues listed on all the Sensation threads.
However I've only had the phone for 24 hours so time will tell...
So far I'm loving it and I paid full retail !

Yeah that's probably true. My phones a 5/13 says my hboot screen(earliest I think I've seen on here) and it seems to not run as I planned. Go to the g2x? If LG released a 6-core phone and the battery lasted 2 days I still wouldn't buy from them.
I only get ~150mb we need some pictures of those ~300mb people for proof. Most I've gotten on mine was 177mb. Mine was also ~150mb out of the box. We don't need a cyanogenmod...the UI is annoying and laggy. We need a stock gingerbread! I do like sense though but when it slows the balls out of your phone, it sucks.

Jrwingate, while you are at it, could you care to test something about the front facing camera for me? Start the camera app, activate the front camera, hold the phone in your hands looking straight at it, as you normally would. Does the camera show your face completely ? Cause on mine's , I have to tilit the phone somewhat downwards towards my stomach in order for it to capture my whole face. If I don't do that, it shows my eyes and above . It seems like the camera angle is not flat with the phone . Please let me know, cause I can still exchange this device. Other guys, could you test this also?

Ditto, Had a g2x and traded it (had no issues except for minimal screen bleed. I still have another one but it's at LG for repair rma due to excessive screen bleeding) Really am loving the sensation. The G2X is faster for sure, but we shall see which is faster once we get S-off and root and a vanilla android rom Once I get my G2X back from LG I think I will switch between the 2 for a few days then the g2x will probably become my business line phone. I'm on flex pay and here is the strange thing.. with my g2x it let me forward my VM to google voice, with the sensation it doesnt. I read that flex pay customers are barred from using conditional forwarding so not sure how it worked on my g2x and not on my sensation.. smh

If you happen to get that weird black box on the lock screen, place your finger where the circle would normally be and flick up. It'll unlock the phone without a battery pull (don't know if you saw my topic on that on moco).

No i did not, thanks though. Ill remember that.. loving it so far ....
I am on my third Sensation and so far this one has been quite good. I have a G2x which I really like as well and also a Vibrant (that I thought I would always keep) and if the Sensation continues to perform flawlessly I will sell my Vibrant. There is just something about the Sensation, I really do not know what it is, but even though the G2x is faster at this point and seems smoother to me, I just keep picking up the Sensation. I hope that s off comes very quickly so we can see what this phone is really like!!!!!!!!!!!
+1
Please include me in the list..
I dont have G2X, BUT I use to have O2X which I think is similar phone, with some dimension different and signal processes only. Anyway, I ditch my O2X due to its poor design body, and its crap software UI..I'm not deny, O2X is faster compare to sensation, but I could not stand it when I hold in my hand and play with its UI...Grrrrrrr!!!!!!
+1 also dont like its bleed display!!
Love sensation!!

Smash welcome to the dark side lol. And to answer your question, no I'm not having any issues loading large sites. I tried engadget (full site), cnn, and a couple others and it loads fine on or off wifi.
I'm going to jump on this thread instead of making a new one... Just returned a family member's G2x for it being the most buggy production phone I have ever seen, shame lg.
Anyway, looking at the sensation as a replacement, anything a huge issue? The g2x had such a software rebooting problem it was absolutely unusable. Just want to make sure software and hardware are working fine for most people...
Sent from my T-mobile G2
Is this a hardware or software issue? It's pretty annoying. I can't scroll or type fast anymore because the screen can't keep up. If its a hardware issue I bet HTC will stay quiet about it, but if its software related I want it fixed ASAP. I absolutely can not use the phone like this.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I noticed this too, especially when typing.
I've never had any speed issues.... I text pretty fast and it's smooth as butter. Scrolling is especially great on mine....pages FLY up/down.
Just to let you know...that's not normal for the Sensation. It should be fast.... on properly working ones.... like mine
Do a factory reset AND a battery pull...if it still does it, there is a problem.
Make sure nothings slowing it down....bad app, launcher etc.
Love this phone...would never need anything faster
Good luck!
I had the same problems so i took my phone back and got a new one. This one works great.

About the 1-week mark here as well. I actually kinda hope my replacement one does the same, as the AUO screen is grainy and unpleasant to look at with my sharp eyes.

I wonder also is this a hardware or software issue? i really don't want to return mine device because i know how long i have to wait to repair it (i am sure the retailer will not exchange it for a new one because this is Bulgaria where i live).
Mine is with SN: HT 15EV, Taiwan made, Sharp LCD and i have the grounding issue- if the phone is not in my hand i cannot unlock it...
I want somebody to confirm if it's a hardware issue and to know what to do- return it or wait for a fix

So far everyone been returning it, just in case it is a hardware problem. BUT! The one i got replacement for, is still sitting at my home (they failed to pick it up twice now). Out of interest, i pulled it out, started it and guess what-no issue at all, no matter how hard i tried to replicate it. I have done factory reset before and it didn't help. but factory reset + keeping it turned off for a week seemed to eliminate the problem. So i sort of look like software problem, but why initial factory reset didn't help then?
Guys, I had this problem yesterday and here's some observations.
- I had this problem after a long charge about 9 hours.
- I couldn't unlock in normal way. I was able to unlock only if I slide that ring from its left side when I wasnt touching the phone. Might be dislocation problem.
- I've tried with a different lockscreen app(GoTo Lockscreen) this problem didn't occur.
- Pulled out the battery for a few minutes then put it back like HTC said. Didn't seem to solve the problem. Then I've deleted other launchers and rebooted. That seemed to solve.
Mine has gone to the HTC service centre in the UK, due to this issue. Will report back as to what they do.
My gut feeling says software. The reason I say this is I also own a Thunderbolt which is running a port of the Shooter RUU and it runs absolutely buttery smooth. The Thunderbolt has 768mb of RAM, same as ours, but is using the 2nd gen snapdragon chipset (single core). So certainly its a far weaker device hardware wise but can run Sense 3.0 flawlessly.
I just wrote an article about the issue. If you guys could share it around I'd really appreciate it.

Yeah, good article. I'm on day 4, so "it" hasn't hit, yet. 2 questions: is the EVO S-Off out of the box, and is the one you tested rooted? I would guess not. Hoping against hope that when we're rooted and can get rid of the damn bloat, things will be majorly different. Second, what real-world benefit does Gingerbread actually provide over FroYo? I had thought FroYo was somehow JIT-optimized, but that GB was from the get go and would solve all of the world's problems? Can anyone explain exactly what the benefit of GB is, and whether it can/will not be a benefit until root? TIA...
Hello everyone,
Well after glancing this thread, I've noticed that there have been known problems related with touchscreen, dust, and battery life. I can get a brand new sensation sealed for 320 $ off contract. Is it worth it with all these problems? I had a g2x and sold it due to its problems and it seems like the sensation has more problems than the g2x. Also, I won't have a receipt so I can't exchange it like many of you if I have a problem.
I currently have a nexus S that will be faster than the stock sensation. The reason I want to buy this phone is because I need more space and I have a 32 gb sdhc laying around that I can use.
I know that the dust as well as unresponsive touchscreen will be a big annoyance. However, the price makes it so tempting.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks
The risk is that phone may have death grip issue.
Almost every single smart-phone released within the last 2 years, android or otherwise has had a similar concoction of problems, either screen, dust, battery, whatever.
I've had 0 issues with my device and am amazingly happy.

Thanks for your input. However, my nexus S has been working perfectly with no dust, touchscreen issues etc. I just wish it would have a microsd slot
I would steer well clear of the Sensation until the bootloader situation is resolved. It is pointless 'downgrading' in terms of the performance you will get out of the box and pointless leaving a device that works perfectly for one with a variety of niggling issues.

It's a dice roll, and no one here has the facts to know what the risks are of getting a bad phone.
It has yet to be determined if the wifi and touchscreen issues are HW or SW or some combination. There's evidence that supports each conclusion. Battery life is probably related to usage, sync options, and some apps, so can be tweaked as on all phones. If the upcoming SW update from HTC resolves the wifi and screen response problems then I'd say the phone is probably worth risking. If not, then who knows?
Without knowing the exact causes and the actual failure rates all you'll get are guesses. My advice, if you buy it have a plan B on how to exit if it turns bad.
I got my sensation launch day, 0 problems except that the front facing camera doesn't outperform many other smartphone ffc's in low light.
You should buy that phone, and you should PM me and tell me how I can get one for that price.
Unless there's just one, then you shouldn't buy it and just tell me how I can.

I'd steer clear for now just because it seems like the stock rom is going to be a lot laggier than what the Nexus S has to offer. It's laggier even than the Evo3D, for some reason.
Chuck in the battery life, dust under the screen and the probability that you'll develop the touchscreen wonkiness over time, and I'd wait until it's been properly updated
No issues on my end.. phone is working great for me. I think the battery life issue is way overblown (power users who will never find an OEM willing to make a battery that meets their needs but is overkill for the average user). The tech blogs show the the Sensation to be above average and better than the other "superphones" I checked; http://www.laptopmag.com/review/cell-phones/htc-sensation-4g.aspx?mode=benchmarks&cids=2804,2800,pa
I find it highly convenient that you chose to link to one of the few sites that rated the Sensation above its main rival. I'm not saying the Sensation is a bad device as I would have bought one weeks ago had the bootloader been unlocked or HTC bothered to release a timetable for it. However the fact remains that the vast majority of sites put the Sensation second in every category bar build quality and Sense (which comes down to personal preference and at least you have the option to change things on rival devices).
So your giving advice and you dont even own the phone?
I find it funny you guys mentioned dust under screen like it's widespread issue everyone has. But truthfully it's not . Nor does every phone suffer from screen responsive issues.
I know these for a fact cause I had 3 sensations none of them had the same issues. In fact none of them had dust under the screen. The phone I have in my hands right now. Has been nothing short of perfect. I have not had any issues.

Not giving you a hard time, I've just seen way too many posts saying the phone was perfect for X days, then all of a sudden it started degrading. Same happened to me, 5 days perfect, by day 7 totally dead. Hopefully I'll get lucky on the replacement, but I'm only semi-optimistic.
Buy it and sell it on ebay ...you can get around $500 for it either way buy and and figure out what you wanna do later

Actually the 1st one had issues overheating ect. The 2nd one was fine I just wanted the sharp screen. I got the phone with my preffered screen and it's giving no issues 1 week in. But if you wanna judge a phone off someone else's experience or off a few bad phones in a batch. Then to each his own.

The next day I noticed my camera wasn't working. Ill get an error message(activity camera not responding). Sometimes ill attempt to open the app and nothing will happen. This was all on gingerbeast. So I wiped all data and reflashed GB. Camera still doesn't work and battery draw is insane. I've since tryed AR, virtuous and cm7. For the record I've wiped battery stats,tryed without SD and sim card. I've been unable to find the cause of the high draw,although I think its related to the camera. Tomorrow I'm going to try and unroot and return to fully stock. Sorry for the long post any help is appreciated.

If your camera isn't working on any freshly installed ROMs, you probably have a hardware problem. As a last resort, try going back to the stock ROM. If your camera is still bad, then you'll need to do a warranty exchange with AT&T. The camera issues may very well be causing your high battery drain.
So HTC told me to send it to them within 30 days. And what do you know the next day my camera works fine! Should I still send It in or wait it out? Im also getting slight screen lifting in the corner so I might as well? I don't have a spare phone to use but I can buy some cheapo for a temp

Yes. That screen lifting will get worse before it gets better, so take care of it while you still can.

Mine doing that on both lower corners now...just something I notice. I like the HTC since way back....just hopes it doesn't turn into a problem with particles under the screen...I'm an engineer I try to mitigate...but yeah I sure notice this commonly listed problem..it aint really serious....yet...jsut make it to next upgrade

From what I recall, the inspire is about 20 times harder to replace the screen/digitizer, because the thing it honestly slapped together.
@ OP Sad part is if you do wish to repair it your probably going to have to go through HTC as I had some lengthy conversations with ATT and had to threaten to cancel and report them to the BBB on face book before anyone actually wanted to help me. MY phone was to the point where the bottom right of the screen had lifted and I could press on the bottom center and here clicking noises.
Edit: Try downloading watch dog lite to see if any apps are causing the battery draw before you unroot, a little troubleshooting can go a long way .
