The Sensation is squeaky - HTC Sensation

I noticed that when pressing the bottom buttons or holding the phone sometimes will result in a squeak. The one at the T-Mobile store did this too. A little annoying.

There's only 3 buttons on this phone. Power button and volume rocker up/ down. Perhaps you're pressing your screen too hard. I have heard no squeaks. I also use a screen protector and a case though.

Okay, cool. I thought I was the only one experiencing this. Guess I wont send my phone back afterall; forbid me getting a replacement that doesn't work.

I don't care how hard I push anything on the Sensation I have, it doesn't squeek.

unfortunately, mine has the sqeak as well.

Mine doesn't squeak but it definitely feels a little loose. A nice gel skin case solves that though.

Mine creaks very very slightly when I press certain areas of the battery cover, but nothing more than that.

it doesn't squeek.
So far......

Mine doesn't squeak but does make a clicking sound and feel when I press the bottom buttons.... Three replacements and all have done it. Pissed me off that a high end phone does this.

it is known that after taking the back cover on and off a couple times the sensation starts to squeak...but this is easily fixed with adding a thin layer of paper within the backcover or just tape it (keep the antennas open)

Replacement phone feels loose in case

Today I got my 3rd sensation and when I put my back cover on it it feels loose. When pushing on the screen I can feel it sort of moving up and down in different places. Is anybody else getting this?

I also have the same issue, it's not very noticeable but it's definitely there, specially when pressing at the bottom right corner, I read a lot of people are experiencing the same thing, I think it's how it's designed, be it a glitch or otherwise.
Yup on the bottom right corner and around the middle left side of the screen. I so noticed the front facing camera doesn't line up that good with the hole thing in the cover. HTC is sending me a new one so hopefully that fixes it.

Same here .... On the right side of the phone ... when u push it , there's a little sound even that u can hear if u pay attention to it ...
hoped better design for a 600$ phone ...

Back cover

Hi I just to ask if its normal for the sensation to have a gap or shall I say movement between the back cover and the screen every time you press them together specially on the lower right corner of the screen. Mine has this movement and everytime I touch the search button on the lower right of the screen I can hear a bit of squeeking. Is it normal?

Mine does have a bit of squeeking from the case but its quite hard to notice. Nothing when I touch the search button tho.

When I got mine, it only has creaking in the bottom right corner. Now it's all over the right side
Swyped from my HTC Sensation
No it's not normal. The fit should be tight.

This is my second sensation the first one has the same issue with the back cover. I wonder how can we avoid this.

Mine moves (barely) along the entire right side as well with no noise. I think this is just due to the lack of hard support between the phone and the back cover. it would be nice if someone found a fix for this somehow.
mine on the home button.. just 4days old with me.. maybe some paper will do if we stuck it in between?

loose phone case

has anyone had issues with the case at the bottom of the phone creeking?
I can feel play at the bottom by the home screen buttons. It appears that the lock button on the bottom does not secure the cover tight
thanks
You are the first and only person to have experienced the creaking issue. I am sure that if you search for "creaking" you will definitely not find dozens of posts on this issue and even possible solutions.
Haha first? There's many of ppl tht hav it. My bro has it. I kinda have it a little on the top.

If it's really bugging you, you can always contact HTC for a replacement case. There was another thread in the accessories forum about it with contact information, I believe.
Also, depending on your carrier, if you suspect it may be the fault of the phone-not the case, see if you can get your carrier to "warranty replace" your phone. I know that on T-Mobile you can get them to replace your unit within the first year if there's no water damage, etc.

Screen question

Hey, I noticed something awkward with my phone screen. On the edge under the home button it sometimes will click as if the screen is going back into place. I already took one phone back to the att warranty center and they gave me a new phone, but now it is starting again on this new phone. Are any of you getting this click as well?

Very common problem. Design flaw with manufacturing. I have a case so I don't notice
Sent from my Inspire 4G using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
Not a design flaw. Thats because there is nothing under that section of the glass screen. You are actually bending the glass in and will crack it if you are not careful. Helpful hint. If you don't push there it won't click.

[Q] volume rocker issue

I'm on my second one x and can't remember having this issue with my previous one.
But next to the volume rocker there is a thin piece of plastic that is attached to the back shell. On mine it is very very squishy and almost feels like its not connected. Makes very noticeable sounds as well. More of an annoyance than anything but it almost seems like its harder to adjust volume as the rocker seems In the side of the phone deeper.
This the norm for everyone?

I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you are describing with the thin plastic piece. I don't have any issues with my rocker. It's got a much lower profile than other phones I have owned but I kinda like it, makes the HOX more streamlined.
Ya sorry. Hard to explain its the thin strip to the left of rocker closest to screen. That is all soft and pushes in.

Ah I gotcha. Yeah I just checked mine, it gives a little bit but it's nothing that would worry me.
