I want to try and establish the extent of this problem. Is everyone getting it eventually or should I return the phone? Please do not reply if you have had the phone for a day and not had the problem. It seems to only appear after a few days. It took 4 days for it to happen to me.
Having the exact same problem. It's when you're trying to unlock it while not in your hand. Really annoying. Also couldn't answer a call once when I had it in my pocket before, I assume the latter had something to do with heat, as it was pretty hot that day.
Anyone else?
Iv had mine since May 19th . I had loads of problems and had my first sensation replaced after just a few days. My second sensation had some memory problems till I did a factory reset and now its spot on. But I have never had any unlock problems.

I've had my sensation for two weeks now... I have had no problems at all with it. It's going great for me so far! (touch wood)
No problems at all with my sensation (since 26th of May)
I have had mine since 19th too and no problems. Other than odd signal drops sometimes

Same here.
Think I may return mine then. Just thought the problem may be inevitable but it looks like it might not.
Quick question for those with the screen problem... Do you have a plastic case, one of those that sit round the back cover? Have you also tried cleaning with a microfibre or other such cloth?
No case or anything, stock ROM. A reset has got rid of it for the moment but for other people it seems like it just comes back again and gets worse. Screen is clean. Has been cleaned just to check. Reset fix and delayed onset suggests a hardware issue to me.
Got mine on 20th May. Not a single problem at all. Used it already also during a trip abroad. Great handset, the best I have ever had! (The only issue is the locked bootloader which makes it impossible to Root and thus not able to use Mybackup Pro and some more apps)
Question for those who have not had the problem. Do you reboot your phone often (full power off). It occured to me that the reason some people may not have seen the problem is because it is rebooted (which seems to help) before it occurs. If you have had your phone on without a reboot for a week I think it is safe to say your phone is not effected.
+1 to having nothing but reception now and again

My current up time is 347 hours, according to battery stats. That's about 2 weeks. Before that, it was about a week. My phone has never crashed or rebooted by itself. I only rebooted because I ran out of battery.
more than 2 weeks now..now problems whats so ever with the screen or the lock !
My Sensation's touchscreen developed issues after about a week. The problem affects not only the lockscreen but also the scrolling in the application drawer (and elsewhere) and typing.
Changing the lock screen to anything that loads from the microsd seems to slow it down or render it unresponsive. Ie.. the photo album lock screen. Micro SD may be too slow or faulty.

It only happened to me once, but I was using an external battery charger that also had a usb port on it for charging the phone at the same time. It was for my Mytouch slide, and only if the phone wasn't in my hand. Using the charger I got with the phone I have yet to have the issue even when it wasn't in my hand.
Do the people that have this issue also have the wobbly screen issue where if you press the left or right side of the screen it compresses a little bit then bounces back?

There has to be something causing it that I'm not doing.. I mean how can I have 3 g2xs (first I scratched, second a tiny spec of dust, now third) with no reboots or sleeps of death? Yet others can't get one that doesn't..
I never use bluetooth, wifi calling, or ever have data syncing, maybe theres a feature that people use daily like bluetooth (just using that as a example) thats causing it. So the ones using this future are getting the reboots....
This reboot thing just is word to me and I feel if we figured it out this phone would be the **** (although mine is, minus blacklight bleed) and we could be half way happy again..lol
Sorry just wondering how I got 3 so far and no reboots, although I've only had my third for 2 days... Anyways, good day all... I love my g2x...
P.s. I don't buy lg knows the issue. I mean by now a update should have been pushed.. If its software that is..
I haven't had a reboot either

This is my second one and also have never had a reboot. The second one does have really bad bleeding though so I'm going for a third one

No reboots or problems with mine. When I was in the store buying mine a lady brought hers in and said that it was rebooting all the time. I was kind of sketchy on buying it then. But I bought it and I kind of assumed it was a user error. But I am happy with it coming from a My Touch 3G to the G2x.
My first G2x had major reboots but no screen bleed. pulling the battery every hour irritated me and i felt like I was breaking my battery cover every time I pulled the battery so I opt to exchange it. Fortunately, the second one I got works like a charm, no reboots but has very minor screen bleed. I'd sacrifice a minor screen bleed over constant reboots and freezes.

I had mine since day one and it has never rebooted.
The only reboots/SoD I has was using the leaked GB rom using the stock Froyo kernel.
Stock 2.2 based roms and CM based roms work fine.
I've had 3 phones already because of the screen. Never had a reboot.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
First phone rebooted constantly. Second phone hasn't rebooted at all since I got it. Same software, same everything. Both exhibited light bleed but the second one is slightly better. Might keep it
I went through 2 of them with the reboot problems, in fact, I did a complete restore back to factory with NO apps installed and I still got the reboots within less than an hour from the time that I wiped.
That having been said - I miss this phone! Why? I have no idea LOL!
If it can be figured out what the problem is I'd love to get my hands on another one!
I am on my third one. The first two had constant reboots and black screen freezes. The one I have now (third one) for 9 days had been rock solid. Then yesterday I got a screen freeze and about 12 hours later I got another one. Then this morning it frooze on the alarm and luckily I was awake and did not oversleep. About an hour ago I got a reboot and now realize it has been rebooting longer than I had realized. I use Run Manager and I had thought it was turning its self off, but today I realized that the device had been rebooting and thats why Run Manager would be off and no record of the exercise. It seems as if it just reboots randomly. I have tried it with Cardio Trainer with same results. Oh man I have 5 days left to decide whether to just return it or accept another replacement. If the SGSII was not coming out fairly soon I would definitely keep it. Just read in another thread here that devs are far and few between other devs are starting to avoid this device. Do not know how true that is, just stating what I read. Decisions Decisions
Hey Chaps,
Wondering if anyone has experienced this one before - my transformer is about 2 weeks old and I've just noticed in the last few days a funny 'unresponsiveness' of about 1 inch of the touch screen from the right hand side (this covers the "App, + , and Time " portion of the screen. no matter how many times I tap it just doesn't respond.
Heres the strange part, I flip the tablet 180 and i can close execute "Apps, +, and the Time" features no problems! Switching back also allows this to occur.
I'm totally baffled. At first I thought it may have been some software issue so I've tried the following:
- restart
- factory reset (twice),
- cold reboot
Still no go, I've downloaded a multitouch app and testing shows the same thing!
Cheers in advance for any assistance provided.
p.s firmware is 8.6.5.9 TW
Sent an email to ASUS to see if they will recommend anything.
Uploaded a youtube vid: hxxp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWAEAfXN9Jk
excuse the heavy breathing & poor camera skills - i'm sick.
experienced the same thing. i bought my tf to an asus repair center, said there was another one with the same case as mine, making me the second. they said they fixed the first one by upgrading roms. i highly doubt that though, since i tried everything from reflashing stock to rooting to a custom rom.. everytime, there's still a weird unresponsiveness that randomly appears and disappears..
neilbantoc,
I think I nailed it down - I turned it off, and left it off last night. When I started it up this morning, it was all good - I was amazed as I thought it was gone. Then it came back after 5-10 mins after some surfing / games. What struck me that I never really put 2 and 2 together is the back plate of the affected area, it was hot!
I personally think it's an over heating issue and not a software issue. The seller said it was their first TF101 returned and they have sold many - guess we just lucky we got lousy ones?
I got an exchange today and no issues so far! Fingers crossed.
Got the same problem, tried different roms, kernals.etc, will send it back for exchange.
I had a similar thing - Try downloading a drawing app and drawing lines SLOWLY down the screen with a stylus (fingers are too fat).
This may reveal areas of touch screen which don't work at all.
For mine I had a line nearly an inch high level with the speakers running horizontally across the tablet.
If you have this, get an exchange - their repair of mine failed and made it worse, and it took a month, so IMO don't risk a repair.
Guys, I can confirm that the problem has gone away with the replacement. It was definitely a hardware related issue (I still think it's over heating )

are you running custom roms?
Got the same problem and i know one other Person who does. Problem stopped appearing for some time and now its back worse than ever with random shutdowns even during calls. Running Stock HTC ROM not rooted or anything. Found some clues on the internet that it might be caused by a SW Update that came from HTC. Nothing for sure though. All i know is that i am seriously looking for another device at the moment. HTC and Android devices are annoying me more and more lately. No Official Updates (or they take 6 months), Compatibility Issues... The list grows longer every day. I used to love Android Phones, especially the HTC Ones but they appear to be stuck.

you have just been unlucky...i'm running custom roms and sometimes i get random reboot but now it is all ok!
send it back!
I had exactly this problem, phone kept turning off at random. Mine was totally stock, first time I sent it back they re-flashed but it started turning off again after about 2 weeks. I sent it back again, they changed the motherboard and its been working fine since then (touch wood!).
Also had random shutdowns. Got a new battery and the problem was gone. But now 4 months in on the new battery same thing starts to happen again. Beginning to thinks there's something wrong with the power management.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA
there is actually an issue on the power management, which is fixed with the ics update. If you can wait , you'll get an update from htc
if you cant, go ahead and flash a custom ics rom
I had the same problem before I bought a new battery and i hope it wont come back when the battery gets older. The problem was with 2G networks. If you turn the mobile network to WCDMA (3/4G) only in the settings, the phone shouldn't shut down. I hope the ICS update completely solves this
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
I had the same problem as well. I flashed ICS and it would still shut off. I noticed it wouldn't ever shut off if it was just sitting on my desk except one time it shut off when on my desk and someone called and my phone vibrated. Turns out the battery connection wasn't tight enough and when moved around, it would lose power. I folded a small piece of paper to make the battery fit tighter and it hasn't shut off since (about a month)
Hi all, I have gone through this problem... I have done all troubleshootings S-off S-On different roms new sim car everything even flashed by service station not helped...on solution for random shut down for me was changing motherboard and after they changed my motherboard I haven't faced single issue... get board changed.
Issues
1) random shutdown
2)while calling some shuts down
3)If it shuts down it will again shut down imd. on 2-3 attempts then start properly.
4) when screen is off and u push power button u find phone down
5) Random shut down some time imd or it will not happen for for next 8-9 hrs.
Get mother board changed.
I was experecing the same issue.
Random reboots or random shut down !
Never when my phone is charging, only when it is on battery.
But I'm trying something, the auto brigthness ! I desactivate auto brigthness, for the moment no ramdon reboots or shut down anymore, was testing 2 days now ! Perhaps try this solution !

Try to remove micro sd card,test the phone and if it does work ok change the card,that was my solution.
3 users in my office are seeing this
3 sensation users in my office are seeing this too, the UE "powers up" when you attempt to wake the screen i'm taking logcat but i'm yet to determine if the phone is powering off at some time when the screen is off or when you attempt to wake it.
i am seeing the battery stats are all over the place after it boots up.
this does not happen when it is being charged.
the logcat from my phone sometimes say a process has crashed (latest 03-06 17:06:18.995 I/ActivityManager( 321): Process com.htc.ereader.drmengine (pid 2742) has died.) but not in the majority of my logs they just appear to stop,
if anyone is proficient at logcat analysis i can share a log taken of a failure.
the 3 users in my office have:
1X S off and ICS ARHD
1X S off and ICS (trips)
1X S off GB unbranded
any help would be gratefully received
**EDIT**
having just pressed the power button to wake the screen(19:00) the phone booted again i was able to check the logcat log file and it stopped logging at 18:02 so it appears to be crashing when going into sleep or when in sleep mode rather than when the wake command is issued
also: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500966 looks like the same issue.
Same problem on HTC Sensation with ICS
Hi,
Sorry to crush your hopes for ICS solving the problem but I'm running Android Revolution 6.5.0, a custom ICS ROM, on my Sensation and I'm having the same problem. Never had it with the stock ROM, though.
Also, it's never happened when plugged-in or when the battery is full. Seems to me that it shuts down more frequently when the battery level gets lower.
Anyone experience it the same way?
Anyone solved the problem by replacing the battery?
Cheers,
Stefan
Hi
any news about this?. Is this problem caused by a hardware failure finally?

Well I got my battery replaced. Worked fine for about 3 months. Now the issue is back. I think it has something to do with the power management on the phone wearing down the battery. When I plug in my charger I feel electricity in the back cover and a humming sound in my headphones. Somethings wrong with the hardware. Going to send my phone in now

I get a weird humming feeling too, like a vibration as you run your finger over the back. Whats also weird is that if im holding the phone and then someone runs their finger on my hand, they also feel the static/vibration feeling. However as soon as I put the phone down the vibration feeling goes. Its so weird, if I send the phone off I'll be phoneless for weeks!
Very simple solution
Hi guys,
Most of us (myself included) are sometimes blinded by our knowledge of custom roms to not try the most obvious fix for this finally very simple issue...
I have a park of about 20 HTC sensation on my company and had the problem on several of them (mine is running a CM9 nightly , but all the others are stock). Had the motherboard/battery replaced on some of them, tried many settings (and on my phone, different roms) but it only offered a temporary and random improvement. I found the solution on a forum and I'm ashamed I never found it earlyer as it's so simple:
Remove your back cover and place a spacer (the thickness of one or two visit cards) between the top side (right part, just opposite to the connector) border of the battery and the chassis. This will ensure that the battery presses a bit harder on the connector. Without the spacer, you may notice that the battery is in a slightly skewed position, not totally parallel with the compartiment and therefore not pressing hard enough on the connector. We never had an unexpected shutdown since then !!!
Anyone have their screen blink/flick on startup, on when you see sense rings for unlock. This doesnt happened all the time but you will notice it once awhile.
Is this hardware issue or software? Its not custome Rom I'm running. I tested out other and it sometime occur. On HTC One X it mention about this also.
Any input would be helpful. I don't like to flash Rom all over too see what caused it.

I had an issue with Apex launcher. Every time I would select a folder on the home screen, the screen would pixilate, tile and flicker, not in that particular order. I uninstalled Apex and now everything is fine.
I read that the type of screen used on the One S has a type of matrix pixel or something that can be seen by a trained eye. Could that be what you are seeing.
hTc One S
I've been testing with this flickering. It noticeable if I restart my phone and look at the screen before the "sense ring" pop up. The screen will flick once. This occur on stock, custome Rom so I might think the hardware is acting up. This issued is known on HTC One X.
I restore back to stock Rom and move between app it also flick. Messed with brightness seen to help, but once I select auto brightness it come right back.
Man I'm not happy

Talked to Htc rep. they might consider the display went bad. Usually, the screen shouldn't blink. Even when I reopen an app..it still flicker and turn black screen.
Next steps called back Tmobile and demand a exchange because I'm not happy with my $600 phones..that blink like strobe lights
Maybe I should never buy the first patch that released on launch day. LOL

Well it was weird, it was fine last night, even had done a backup on clockwork. took it off the charger this morning and restarted it. looked at it later and half the screen was like that. I restarted the phone again and it only did what you saw, tried restart couple times still came back but later on as I was finally leaving home I was texting someone and it just went away?? tried restarting it again nothing... not coming back?? no idea why. I did see on youtube another person with a one X doing the full screen like that, SCary.
I would return it but I'm rooted 2 months in and had to buy from someone else's upgrade so I'm not even sure what they'll tell me if I take it to the store or talk to HTC
I got replacement from T-Mobile since there 90 days exchange warranty and guess what? My screen still does it. I went ahead called HTC for advice and rep. Told me it just parts of O.S.
For yours side, if you sent to HTC for a repair. They might check if you tamper with phone and will charge extra :what:..
Hopefully it won't do it.

only once in a while, when on lowest brightness, the screen would flash up very bright, after pressing the on button but than goes back to set low brightness.
Don't have an Issue like in your video
I've reverted the phone back to stock, not only does it still do it, but it was doing it while on the restoring mode. I've called T-Mobile, they are sending me a new phone. Unfortunately now I will be getting a refurbished phone. Pretty unnoying.... Hope its not defective too in some ways.

I have the same issue, but in a bigger area. I noticed that it happens when the screen is too cold.
First time it happened was when I was taking some pictures outdoors and it was under 0°C and snowing.
Second time also outdoors, strong cold wind, but above 0°C.
Don't know if this is really the cause, but it always happens under these conditions.

Mine originally started on a random morning, I live in Cali and phone usually on my bed so granted it's not under the blanket I'd imagine it stays fairly warm at nights. tho I had touched the screen with wet hands before and I've always been curious if that would have done it. I did since get a replacement which I haven't babied as much as the original one, it's been few months and seems to handle itself fine now (crossing fingers).
But if it happened once, it will happen again, mine came and went couple times, here is couple vids of the way it got... but eventually instead making a transparent gray, it was a full shade of it blocking that half of screen that wouldn't go away.

I lock my phone and about 10 mins later I go to unlock it and the phone powers up meaning that it has been turned off. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the charge of the battery but it keeps doing this. The other week the phone wouldn't respond for about 5 hours I would touch it and the touch screen was completely dead. I locked the phone and then the screen went black and the touch buttons at the bottom lit up and that was it the phone crashed so I needed to restart it and it just wouldn't work. 5 hours later when I woke up it responded and Bare in mind I ran about 5 ruus to get the phone back to stock so it wasn't a software problem. So has anyone else experienced one of these problems. The random shutdown is my issue at the moment. I'm considering returning it for repair because isn't it true that htc have a 2 year warranty in the uk?
Sounds daft but I'd put a piece of folded paper on top of the battery to ensure it has perfect contact and isn't able to move at all.....I have heard of others who have experienced this issue.
I would also see if you could get another battery for a short time and try that just to rule out that it is an issue with the battery.

Same issue for me, it drove me nuts. Turned out to be a faulty battery when sent off to HTC/Vodafone for repair. They replaced it so I wonder if it's a known issue.

Sounds daft but I'd put a piece of folded paper on top of the battery to ensure it has perfect contact and isn't able to move at all.....I have heard of others who have experienced this issue.
I would also see if you could get another battery for a short time and try that just to rule out that it is an issue with the battery.

This.
My phone used to shut down randomly and I searched and found out that it is due to the bad design of battery placement in this phone. All I had to do was put a small piece of paper and it has never shutdown till then.
I'm definitely going to try this, I've been getting lots of resets and I'm relieved it's not a rom issue
edit: how many times did you guys fold the paper over?

i had issues with my phone turning off too, had it slightly wet at one point so i took it to a phone repair joint, they replaced a few things charged me and it had the same problems afterwards, a test battery proved it was the bloody battery all along!
the tech there let me know our batteries have a soft edge that when pushed up hard against the battery slot it slightly deforms, seems like a bad design if you look at the battery up close you can see one where the edges get pushed in a bit, (well on mine anyway) the test battery i borrowed didn't have the edges pushed in.
Had this problem too. Paper did the trick.

I lock my phone and about 10 mins later I go to unlock it and the phone powers up meaning that it has been turned off. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the charge of the battery but it keeps doing this. The other week the phone wouldn't respond for about 5 hours I would touch it and the touch screen was completely dead. I locked the phone and then the screen went black and the touch buttons at the bottom lit up and that was it the phone crashed so I needed to restart it and it just wouldn't work. 5 hours later when I woke up it responded and Bare in mind I ran about 5 ruus to get the phone back to stock so it wasn't a software problem. So has anyone else experienced one of these problems. The random shutdown is my issue at the moment. I'm considering returning it for repair because isn't it true that htc have a 2 year warranty in the uk?

Nearly same problem is what I face with this HTC 828 desire
Never knew that HTC would let me that down
Worst company ever
The only reason this phone was with me was due to its good camera qualities else
This phone couldn't give any better loudness if not accompanied to speakers ....each time while watching any video I need speakers
Well ...this phone made me realise that it's not necessary that good priced phone are necessarily good
