Yeah it keeps freezing after like 15 seconds.....IDK if this can be fixed really. I just turn the cam off and back on and unfreezes and then it freezes again.

mine froze the first couple times. now it is fine.

We got the freezing issue too. Gonna keep testing it out

Which APK did you install? Or are they all the same? The stupid thing is that I don't even really use Skype at all. I just want it to work properly.

Video froze after 6 seconds.

I have the apk from the galaxy 2 forum and it works great in landscape and with the front camera. Is there any version that works with the rear camera and/or portrait?

[REPORT] 1.45.401.2 HTC official base issues | Please report your problems here

Hey guys, I though we can do some list of known issues in latest 1.45.401.2 HTC official base. It would be good idea if later as many people as possible can report the complete bugs list to HTC so that they hurry up with the update and we'll make sure they are aware of all the issues so that they wont be present (hopefully) in next build.
Confirmed issues:
Broken 3D engine,
Bottom dock edge is not smooth (for all 3 skins),
Language issue: (Polish) In HTC e-mail app after selecting unread message the button "Oznacz jako przeczytane" (Mark as read) have text cut in a half,
LMW.apk is missing by default so we can't use "Make more space" in SD card settings,
The phone doesn't always register first power button click to put the phone on standby. It has to be hit twice for the phone to drop to standby,
Zooming in a picture in gallery and pressing the back button doesn't zoom out to the original level,
Phone is embarrassingly slow and choppy as for Dual-Core 1.2GHz device. Especially scrolling through widgets is very laggy,
Phone is getting warm even when scrolling through the desktops,
Not confirmed issues:
Other things to report:
Still missing correct kernel source for 2.3.4 ROM,
Write you suggestions and propositions of better description to the issues. Also report your language issues like missing translations etc.

Nice post Mike, the RUU has been on shipped ROMs for the past week but my broadband has been down
Had the HTC reps in work a few days ago and got one of the guys to esc the 3D issue to their tech/dev team with a detailed description, hoping for a fix soon

This is very good news Lee, hopefully they wont brake anything else lol. Do you have some suggestions for the list?

Not sure if it's an issue but scrolling in whatsapp conversation is unbelievably choppy and laggy.
Hell even if the GPU wasn't working, the dual core should be able to handle it. But no.
Really weird (My HTC G2 is 10x smoother).

I can't really report 3rd party app like whatsapp being slow but I added point with overall poor system performance.

No power button issue with mine. Running IC 2.2.2

After sending a message,you turn off the screen at once,and then it powered off.
It has happened for many times,but i am not sure if it is an official issue.
ROM is on my signature

Mate Ninja Fruit on my Desire HD ROM runs perfectly smooth but on Sensation ROM (the same tweaks as for Desire HD ROM) is lags like hells. Yeah... "amazing dual core 1,2 GHz to provide even better multimedia experience"

Just uninstalled it, played on my nexus s and no problems, tryed on my vibrant and no problem, am talking about the cordy game, it totally makes tbe sensation crash worst than an underclocked kernel

Is there no way for these to be manually updated?
Or would it need a whole new release by HTC?

When you zoom in a picture in gallery and press the back button it doesn.t zoom out to the original level. In music player side scrolling in albums tab does not work.

Yes, you can flash libs from 1.35 base but only with custom kernel. But it's not a fix, just a temporary solution. It must be fixed by HTC.

Can you explain better? Can't reproduce it...

double press power button
I confirm the issue with having to double press the power button to wake up the phone sometimes. Did not face this problem with earlier builds

Finally had it with the G2x -- Got a Sensation

T mobile is a good company to work with. I've traded 4 phones in 4 weeks, and by far, the Sensation is a great device.
The only thing I've noticed is that when using MX video hardware decoding for divx movies is choppy. Software decoding is on PAR.
The other little gotcha is that it has rebooted 11 times since I've started using it. Coming from the lock screen as well as, just in general sitting there ( 2 days). T mobile is sending me another one. (Never does it on Wifi calling is on, which I have noticed...)

Usually reboots either if it's over clocked in anyway or Sense using too much memory. But glad you are getting good service from the folks at tmo. I have to call into service to get such service/answers lol. Have fun!

Congrats! Sensation is turning out to be the best device for me so far.

Welcome to the club! Same story here.
That G2x was the biggest POS ever made.
HTC is soooo much better.

Your sensation should NEVER have to reboot unless you have over clocked it. I saw what LG was about to do like nokia did with the n900 and i quickly jump ship. Wasn't going to be burned again.

They are really helpful, my sister got the sensation too and was having problems with phone not charging, I took it back and they replaced it for a brand new.

My GF has a g2x and there is little wrong with it. GPS sucks from time to time and the camera is lacking...Thats it.
It has MUCH less issues than my sensation has, thats for sure. Its got great battery life (mine sucks), SMOOTH GLASS (mine feels tacky), and a buttery smooth browser. (Mine is jittery and rough).
Best of all, it was free for her (adding a line).

Cool that tmo is sending you another one. Just curious, are you running stock rom and kernel? Both mine and my wife's sensations used to reboot several times a day on the stock tmous 2.3.3 rom and kernel. The problem went away after I started messing with our phones a bit more.
My MX seems to play fine. Mkvs, avis, you name it, it plays.

Hey Bigmixx, I noticed you from tmonews. You always have good points to make. I too was having issues with my Vibrant, and T-Mobile hooked me up with a refurbished Sensation. I'm sure the problems you were having were with that device only because my Sensation is working well. Now I know what it's like to have a decent Android device!

Im too come from LG..O2X, similar to g2x..haha..really glad i did it..

Replace Sensation camera?

Has anyone ever physically replaced the camera on the Sensation? Mine won't focus at all. It seems like the actual focus is stuck. Before anybody asks, i've searched for 3 straight days and I tried everything. It just wont focus, it seems like it's stuck on one focus position and anything closer than 2 feet is out of focus. It makes the focus noise but no attempt at focusing.

Is sending it in for repairs an option?

Not really, I can get a camera online for it but was hoping I wouldn't have to replace it.

You can either touch the screen to focus on a certain point or if you point it at an object long enough it will focus on it. My doesn't do that on camera or camcorder.

i also get the no focus on anything up close but focus from more than 2 feet or so works great! weird, im guessing that thats just how it is.

My camera has been having trouble focusing lately. I've tried stock ICS, sense 4.0, aosp. None are good.
Kind of been wanting to downgrade to gb to see if it improves.
Glad to see I'm not alone, although it isn't very good news..

right i wish i didnt root this thing the day i got it so i could remember how stock camera was!

I can't automatic focus while recording too, only by clicking on screen. I have stock rom so i think it's just feature.

No, the camera/camcorder should automatically focus.

Been facing the same problem too. Autofocus for macro shot is not as good as my old htc desire and htc sensation.. strangely, if i try macro using object that has text on it i.e newspaper it works.. I thought the problem is the HQ camera mod, but when i reverted to stock camera, the problem persist. I still yet to try the camera on official GB rom. If anyone tried it I would love to hear the result.

GTA Vice City freezes

I am running cm10 on my sensation, and my gta vice city keeps freezing as soon as i drive around for a bit
It works fine on my brothers s3 and note 2
How can I fix this
Many thanks

It's an issue on Rockstar's end, there is a ton of pretty ugly bugs with the Adreno 220, one being the entire phone freezing when entering a vehicle. Lots of draw issues too. Bad lag (I mean damn... The HD2 runs it just fine), Wait for an update from R*.

I thought the game wasn't caompatible with sensation

Yes, i just checked and sensation is not listed under compatible models
But people are having this problem even on supposedly supported models, so rockstar need to fix these issues
