not a fan of the end of call screen

Any ideas on how to turn off the annoying delayed end of call screen? Is that baked in deep or something that can be get rid of?

Agreed, that pause is obnoxious.

It's in the phone.apk unless you know how to edit apks your screwed

If you hit the back button right after you end the call it will cancel that screen.

thanks, that does indeed work. Now, follow-up question: does anyone know how to make the bloody back button easier to press? You have to think on the Vibrant they probably put that nice little grip ridge just perfectly situated on the back of the phone just for that reason to give the rear fingers some grip. Oh and there is more physical front panel real estate too on the Vibrant down there.

Should I return it?

So I have something funky going on. When someone calls me my phone rings. Do you think its defective? Should I return it? Also my power button is crooked and slants over to one side. Its a moving part and moving parts shouldn't do this right? I mean buttons shouldn't have any play right?? :-D Sorry I couldn't help myself. Hahahahha

My phone has done this once or twice before but my solution to this was draggin the green "answer" button to the circle. It stops the ringing and whoever is calling ends up on the phone and you can hear them.
Not too difficult. I mean HTC should have fixed this issue before they even released the phone

Lmao. My phone is also defective. When I press the button with a house on it, it closes the app. Soooooooo annoying.

Wait a minute...is that what it's supposed to do?
BTW,my touch screen responds faster than my sister's new I Phone 4.
Is THAT supposed to happen as well?
Why do I get the feeling I've been had?

I just found a new problem......when your phone is on, try pushing that button at the top. Mine locks my freakin screen and I can't do anything until I hit it again....WTF HTC.....get it together

thread would be funny if the sensation didnt have any problems.

I have some of these similar issues with my evolution 3d... so its an HTC thing?

Lighten up.. In a perfect world everything would be perfect, but we dont live in a perfect world. If you look at EVERY single device there will always be issues with some units. I happen to not have any major issues with my sensation. My wifi drops a little when I hold it landscape but it's not horrible and oesnt drop the connection. any other issue I have are all software related glitches. If you look at every forum people complain about issues on every device. I was just making light of it because people seem to have major OCD. If you didnt think the thread was funny you shouldnt have even bothered reading it or replying. NOTHING is perfect in this world yet we expect everything to be perfect. Come back when you remove the stick out of your ass..

Apparently, HOME button is supposed to teleport you back home, but gets confused because it doesn't know where you live and take you to HOMESCREEN instead (dumb thing, with all the gps and location services it should know where i charge it and sleep). Rumours are that this is going to be fixed with update in August. If it's not, there is always a DEV for that.
EDIT. I think we should start a petition for that, HTC seems to do anything we want if we put enough pressure on them, so they might push this bugfix sooner.

I returned mine and went back to my rooted and ROM'd vibrant and I don't regret it....BUT I'm considering waiting maybe another month or until we get full root and S-OFF to maybe give the sensation another chance. I wanted to like the phone, I really did, but didn't feel that the sensation in it's current stock state was really what I wanted. Either way...it's a GREAT multimedia phone and web surfer, kinda crappy at being an actual phone tho in my opinion...

Please explain, I've had zero issues as far as the device functioning as a phone.
On a side not, it's really driving me nuts that when press the "loose" button at the top my stupid phone keeps showing me the current weather with all these highly functional shortcut options on how to unlock. Anyone know how to change that? I want it to be stupid and work like an iphone!

Flip to mute

Did you know if someone is calling you, you can flip your phone around and it will mute the ringtone but it won't decline the call.
Hope this helps someone

Didn't know that. Thanks for the tip.

You guys need to read the manual and poke around the settings more.

Did you know if you flip it during a call it will activate the speaker?
Ah, all this fun, and much, much more

Yeh, and there are two tiny holes at the back of the phone, those are the microphones when you talk on loud speaker

Nice feature imho

I use the feature almost everey day, i get a lot of unknown callers
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App

And also I like the fact that when you pick up the phone in your hand the ring volume decreases and doesn't bother others and also when the phone is in you pocket or purse it rings louder with each ring.
really like the HTC subtleties

This flipping thing actually IS a neat feature of HTC Sense. Has anyone experience with this behaviour on custom roms with Sense 3.0 (e.g. Virtuous). Does it still work?
Thx in advance.
(Just S-OFFed & rooted my stock 1.47.401, so I'm actually a little bit eager to wreak some more havoc! )

WTH how did this happen

I dont know how this happen... Now every time i hold my phone by the bottom right hand corner or tap the search button my phone creeks like its not in place i goes a slight bit down... I dont know if its cause of the heat sometimes this phone puts out or if its the back housing... Could it be both can anyone help

Mine is same thing I saw a thread before suggested to put a post-it note between the phone and back case. It helps a little, but it's not a permanent solution.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk

I honestly think its a combinstion of the way it opens and the heat warping the case
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

It's because it's a case full stop - things always get loose after a while. Not a lot you can do about it tbh. Doesn't bother me

Can this issue be fixed?
I had it since I bought the phone.

take the back cover and sqeeze it in a little on both sides top and bottom not to hard though

That's what happen when you open and close the back cover too much. The back cover is made for one purpose only. To insert your sim card, SD card and battery. Once its insert, it should stay insert and no need to access the back cover anymore, unless if really required such as your phone hang which need to take out the battery. Others than that, you should not open the back cover. If you continue too much open and close the cover, of cause eventually, wear and tear will happen!! >.<

You can always contact HTC and explain what is happening and request that they send you a new back cover. many people on here (including myself ) have done this..

I did the post it note thing and that worked for me. 1 tiny piece was all it took. Lower right corner.

Just call HTC and tell them the problem they will send u a replacement back cover for free but u need to return the defective one or else they will charge u for the cost of the back cover. It also happen to my phone and I did call them and they sent me a replacement back cover now I don't have that creaking noise or whatsoever. I've been using it for a month now. Try calling and take advantage of ur warranty instead of doing a quick fix that someday the problem will come back.

I have the same problem.
From what I've heard:
-It will eventually stop after a while.
-Some cases can prevent this from happening.
-A Larger battery can help this from happening.

Mine comes and goes but its not doing it as of right now so im good for now if it happens again ill either try the post it or the little bit of bending its not a big deal

Declining Calls

Whenever I am trying to decline a call my One S accepts the call. I then have to press the end button.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

How do you try to decline it? It might be that you're doing it wrongly?

Are you dragging the red icon into the circle? I have not had an issue doing it this way. I will say that I tried to silence a call by pressing down on the volume, and it answered the call instead. That may be a setting somewhere though.

Hmm let me guess..are you dragging the ring up over the red call icon instead of dragging the red call icon DOWN into the ring?
It's ok..when I flashed a sense Rom on my HD2 a while back I kept pulling the ring up to launch shortcutsand couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work !
Ring up for regular unlock, icon down for action.

Only thanked because I find it funny that someone who would buy a One S, and be a member of XDA wouldn't know how to decline a call, even though the phone has tutorials lol
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium HD app

Alright I feel so dumb right now lol.
I had the Sensation before this and it seemed like pulling up the ring towards the red icon always declined it. So i got accustomed of declining calls that way.
Anyways yea pulling down the red icon works fine.
Sorry for the dumb mistake >_<

we wont tell if you wont

Always ran AOSP or CyanogenMod on my HD2, only had a short stint with a Sense rom (not a fan of pre-4.0 sense, too heavy!) and never go through tutorials, I like to figure things out for myself.
