Hi All,
As I've previously mentioned in the first impressions thread we have a persistent issue with our ChaCha that has been present on the two devices we have had and has not been fixed by the 1.18 update.
After pressing the SYM key to bring up the symbols\smilies whatever symbol that is highlighted blue persists on the screen after selected. This can usually be cleared away by tapping around the screen or exiting the SMS\Talk app but occasionally it persists, needing a reboot to clear.
Has anyone else seen this? I initially thought it was an issue with the first device alone, but now it is happening with the second device, and after the update, surely others must be seeing this also?
No one?

in my chacha everything work normal, no issue.
My chacha takes me to the very first SMS of a contact frequently while typing a reply.
Very frustrating if you have to go all the way down among 300+ SMS in a conversation. But going to home screen and then back to the SMS is ok since the message its saved as draft either way.
This happens almost every time i want to reply to someone.
Gave up in the end. Issue kept occurring, also had a problem with the camera not starting and needing a reboot. Carphone warehouse were really good about it so swapped for a desire s.
Hope no-one else has issues as its a great phone without the bugs!

I've had the symbol box stick on screen once so far (had the phone 3 days) but it went away pretty quickly afterwards. Certainly doesn't seem to be anything I'd be too worried about.

The trouble we had was that every once in a while it wouldn't disappear, reboot would be needed.this started happening more frequently. This, along with the
Camera force closing and then not working until a reboot, made it feel like a flawed device. Shame as we loved the design, look and feel of the phone.

I believe it's a bug, no issues after changing to use Handcent SMS...

Is this issue present in all or common in Chaha phones?
So I'm guessing this SMS jumping to the top problem is isolated or rare by the lack of replies.. Right? That's a good news! Right?

I'm having problems with some of the widgets displaying on my home screens.
Some, but not all of them, have what I would describe as a static appearance covering part of the icon, usually in a bar across the width of the icon.
The issue affects different widgets at different times but would appear to only be ones added by the apps I've downloaded rather than the "stock" ones.
I'm hoping I'm not alone in this and that better still, someone knows how to sort it?

I had that too. On one widget. I simply rebooted my device, and it went away. Not come back since. Not totally sure what it is to be honest.

Yeah, I had the same. A reboot fixed it and not happened again.
Cheers guys will give that a go....
On another note, how are you finding the Sensation? I came from a rooted Desire so the leap doesn't seem quite as big as maybe I'd hoped, not too impressed with the "locally stored" navigation maps not being free as it was always publicised...
Apart from that I'm well impressed, as are my colleagues more importantly! ;-)

I am very impressed by the device. Looks amazing. I love the new screen, much better than the WVGA on the Desire HD. qHD is lovely. Missing the root though. Really hope there are some breakthroughs when more devs have the device.
Have same problem too. noticed it on the stock android power widget and also the facebook widget. I can only describe it like "bad tv reception". hoping it will clear up after a reboot. haven't noticed it with any of the htc widgets.
Just picked up Sensation today. So far loving it. this has been the only problem I've encountered so far.
From what I have read so far this issue is known and is believed to be a software issue. I have experienced this on a few non htc widgets. I tend to agree with the notion that it's because not all apps can keep up with the new qHD screen.
Agreed: Only 'major' issue for me as well

I've had my phone for a few days (luck to find a Walmart that sold it to me). I received "static lines" on my power widget. I rebooted this once, and all is well. It only affected that one widget. Reminds me of a video card going out on a computer (again just on the widget).
Oh, I also noticed that the voice recorder widget (from htc Hub) wouldn't turn on when I pressed the widget.
I'm having this static lines issue also. Do the guys from HTC know that? Hope it is gonna be fixed in the new firmware.
I'm having a serious issue with the widgets, worse than what I've seen described here. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. It can affect almost all widgets at one time or perhaps just a few. Rebooting sometimes but by no means always helps, as does switching skins.
I expect it is indeed a software issue. I'm hoping an update with smooth things out a bit, but I sure as heck haven't heard of any updates any time soon for T-Mobile, S-OFF or otherwise.
I had this issue too. Where random widgets would show some static graphic corruption. But yesterday I got the OTA update and after that all these issues seems gone. So definitely a software issue.
I have now started to get this, I have found killing HTC sense removes this for a while but it then comes back....
Never had until now..and had for month or so now...
Could anyone with this issue please have a look at this thread and confirm that these are same problems?

Same problem - horizontal "rainbow" lines through widgets.
Can anyone else who got the OTA update confirm that it fixes this issue?

I had the same problem.the power widget,youtube widget and PowerAamp widget all have those horizontal rainbow lines.i just deleted them from the screen then added them back...that cleared the problem for me.
I actually noticed something very similar to this, but it was in Wordfeud. Across the bottom, where all your letters are, I had the same thing happening. I did a reset and it hasn't come back... as of now, anyways.

Ive always seen some black lines in the letters in wordfued... figured it was a compatability issue. The always go away as soon as I touch the screen..
Same problem here, it happens with 3rd party apps and also with with stock apps like google search bar or tips widget(it's random)
I hope that it will be fixed soon.
Had this twice, first time after Hub downloads second time just happened but the phone had like 80 RAM left. First time did a reset and never again touched the damn buggy Hub (didn't let me login again anyway). Second time a battery pull fixed it. Awful stuff.

EDIT 2: Okay! I got it. Here are the other apps I installed this morning that gave me the problems again but are not gone after I uninstalled them: Linpack and Quadrant. Please give feedback as to which apps I've uninstalled that you currently have on your phone.
EDIT: Never mind. It came back again. I'm still trying to find the culprit. I'll update you guys if I find anything.
I think I may know why we have this problem. I noticed this happen to me when I first started installing apps on my phone which I bought just 3 days ago. At first, I rebooted to get rid of it, but then it would come back as soon as I touched the screen, not even on an icon or widget. So I thought of the last app I installed and uninstall it. After rebooting, the problem was gone. I did a few tests and it seems to only happen with apps that require root access.
Can you guys confirm this for me?
So far my theory is working. I've tested with apps like ROM Manager, SetCPU, Root Explorer, etc. Right after I install, the problem appears. After uninstalling, I reboot and the problem is gone.
Hi people, I got my desire s a few months back and it seems that it has developed a few faults.
1: the hapatic feedback on the keyboard and the capacitive buttons has gone quite weak. I have 2 work mates who also have a ds and this doesn't happen in theirs.
2: the messaging application force closes quite frequently. Tried factory reset but problem still persists.
3: the rubberised panel on the back of the phone (the one that surrounds the camera lens and flash) seems to be lifting on one side.
Has anyone else encountered these issues?

No one else experienced these issues? Sorry to bump but need to know if it is a problem or a setting I'm not understanding correctly.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
I wish i could help you, but my phone is pretty new.. have like 1 month, and i dont have any of the issues you mentioned.. so i cant tell.
The only fault I have experienced is the Messaging app forcing to close a lot. That's why I want a custom ROM ASAP!
I have also noticed that the text messages do not appear in order when looking at a thread of a certain contact.
I have had my sensation for a couple of weeks now and it is proving to be one of the worst HTC phones I have ever owned. I am beginning to become concerned that I may have a faulty device, as my complaints about the phone are really starting to mount up. I will list a few off the top of my head and you can tell me if this is normal behavior:
Unlocking the device: Sliding the ring up to unlock the device can take as many as 3 or 4 attempts at times no matter how deliberately I attempt to do so.
Bluetooth Audio: If I connect to my car for both phone and music, then disconnect, then connect to my bluetooth headphones, then disconnect, then get back in my car, the phone bluetooth will connect, but not the media. This is solved by long clicking the bluetooth connection under bluetooth settings and going into options,then unchecking and rechecking the media box. (annoying and not a problem on either my nexus 1 or MT4G)
The phone is slow: Like way slower than either my nexus 1 or MT4g
Restarting the phone: When I long press the power button and select restart, the phone will turn off... but not back on without several presses of the power button.
Data Connection: I have, on more than one occasion lost my data connection in a 4g area to the point where all data is lost. No 2g, no g... nothing. No icon in the status bar. I have tried entering and exiting airplane mode to restart it, among other things. Reboot seems to be the only solution.
Call Waiting: The phone has, on more than one occasion, refused to let me switch calls when I receive call waiting.
Force Closes: I have received more force closes on this device with a variety of applications, than I have on any other android device that I have owned. To the point where I did a factory reset of the device to see if that would clear things up. It did not.
Line through non HTC Widgets: I get seemingly random horizontal static lines through random non htc widgets sporadically. Sometimes a reboot rectifies this, other times the widget needs to be removed ad readded.
That seems to be all I can think of at the moment. I eagerly await your responses.
Yeah, I'd get it exchanged. That's not even close to a satisfactory experience.
I also get a few unlock attempts.
The data network its extremely slow like 3g our less while on 4g outside with full strength in signal bars.
I also don't get a restart when selecting that and I just sts off completely and have to hold the power button to turn it on.
do you hear a noise if you press in the screen with a bit of effort? I don't know if its just my phone our a common sound.

I've had the Sensation since June 8th, I've had the static lines in the Widgets but none of the other problems. My lock rings works every time. I also came from the Nexus One so I never had Sense, I think it's a bit laggy but my apps open up just as fast as the N1. My phone fully shuts down and restarts everytime (I do it daily, it's a carryover from the BB world lol) Bluetooth works great too.
If I were you, I would get a new phone, something doesn't seem right with yours.
I have been keeping silent about it for the most part but I'm in the same boat with you on a few of those things. I don't use bt so I dunno about that nor do I have the line through the widgets issue. But my touchscreen sucks balls. It takes forever to unlock the phone, it just doesn't register my swipe up no matter how slow I go. Also in general my touchscreen is just weak. Tons of my swipes are registered as taps so apps or links are opened. I also have the data stall issue. I have read through the supposed fixes for people with similar problems but nothing fixes my issue. The lockscreen issue started a week after getting it, and happened until I did a factory reset. It then worked for another week before the issues showed up again. My sister has a sensation too and has the same touchscreen issues as me. I have been holding off, hoping htc would send out a big fix update, but damn it is depressing. I have already mentally prepared myself for giving this to my wife in september and using her upgrade to pick up a Hercules. I really hope some updates change my mind.

Can someone please let me know if you can hear the plastic parts of the phone rub when you press down in the screen? I have noticed if I press around the screen with about the same force of scaring snapping your fingers or less the phone makes a sound of what I think is the source between the screen and the edge frame of the phone. I first thought that was the reason why the unlock took a few tries.
either that or I think maybe a small air pocket caused by a spec if dirt was why the unlock want working since its almost right on it. It also works better if I grab the left side of the ring then the right that has that tiny pocket. But still I noticed the huge end call and call button I have to press on it a few times to get a response. I press it far left but near the air bubble that's why I didn't think that would cause any touch problems with the unlock ring.

I am having the lock screen issue , my 3rd phone, all three did it after a few days to a week. I do have the Bluetooth problem as well. I have a jawbone jambox and i can only get media to connect after initial pair. I always unpaired and paired again to fix the problem, i'll try your method next. I think the reason you cant change calls has to do with the touchscreen issues. I am waiting also for an update. The really really messed up thing is that HTC says they know nothing of theses issues, so a fix could be a long way off.
Thanks for the responses. I have had the phone for about 3 weeks and have been holding my tongue. The OP is a copy of the e-mail I sent to HTC that I have yet to get a response to. I will post HTC's response as soon as I get it. I was happy to see that some other countries received an update that fixed a few things, but really I just want to see if CM7 can rectify most if not all of these issues. I have been playing the waiting game, but might just throw in the towel and return it before my 30 days are up (CA).

well, first full reset and retest. if it persists, then ya exchange it. my lock ring is so smooth i pull it up and play with it while bored. spin circles around the sun (weather lock screen) then either let go to unlock or put it back at the bottom. can do the same with all 4 app shortcuts. one flick up with 3/4 of the ring revealed and its unlocked.
edit: phone is 3 weeks old, multiple widgets and full of apps, stock launcher.
Hey guys... Had this random problem start a couple days ago. I'll send someone a text message and when they reply, instead of their reply showing up below my sent message, it shows up above it. Out of order if that makes sense... Any ideas...?
Its a known issue with Sense and gingerbread. Download SMS Time Fix from the market and that will fix your problem.

I have been having some issues as well but mine aren't a time issue. Occasionally I'll text someone back but it sends the message to another person that I've texted. Not necessarily the last person, but another person in the messaging app. I even stopped using the some of the skins gadget made just in case that caused a random issue. Any thoughts?

i believe this is an issue with the android, maybe just sense roms not totally sure, stock text messenger app. switching to another app fixes the problem. i suggest go sms pro, but i've heard handcent is really good too
So, I was listening to Google Music, playing Words With Friends, and all of a sudden my phone's screen went a little crazy. Wish I could have grabbed a screen shot, but the best I can describe it as is it got "blurry" or "fuzzy" looking. I was able to click and go to other apps, but the screen was still not right. I managed to reboot the phone and it was back to normal.
Has anyone else experienced this? My first instinct is to take it back to AT&t and try to get a replacement, but I don't want to take any drastic action if this is something that is already a known issue (thought I couldn't find any posts about it) and might be fixed in an update, or if it could have just been a fluke...
What would you guys do? Everything else about the phone is fine (working wi-fi, no light bleed, etc.) so i'd hate to get a replacement that has issues, but at the same time if i'm going to keep getting this issue every so often, I'd rather replace it...hmmm, what to do???
I would try getting a replacement but good luck getting one with the current apple law suit.

had a similar "screen" experience when i tried to use Ivona Voice for TTS. when i selected Ivona Voice as my TTS option, the screen would move up and down like i was scrolling up and down. i removed and reinstalled the app only to see the same behavior. i removed the app and have not had any screen issues since then.
fyi, my phone is rooted and i'm using the 1.82 RUU.
I get the odd graphical glitch using the stock keyboard. Pretty random sometimes

I noticed after using the camera on the black and white setting, gTalk was stuck in black and white until I quit and restarted it. It only happened once and I've been unable to duplicate it.
I'm wondering if this might actually be a problem with android 4 and sense 4. I have noticed the weird graphical issues but have never been able to duplicate them. I came from the HTC evo 3d and was rooted running newts HTC one port. On that phone I was having the same issues. Screen flashing randomly while texting and a couple other weird things. Just a thought to chew on

This is 99% likely not a phone issue and is software related. Too many people immediately returning phones without thinking or investigating. This may be free to do and is your right to do but it just drives up costs for everyone in the long run. Just my two cents.
Edit: sorry, I know you are trying to investigate now...I'm mainly referring to the peeps that always instinctively recommend exchanges.
