Issues with my sensation

As this is my second handset I'm having all kind of problems or "bugs"
1. When I go to delete an app the size numbers go nuts I have to back out then try again before I am able to remove an app
2. My phone gets super hot right now all I am doing is typing this post and my phone is at 112 F
3. My data when switching from 2g, 3g or 4g sticks where I have to like in the hd2 early android stages and enable airplane mode and disable airplane mode
4. I have had to hard reset my phone so much lately that I took my cover completely off has froze twice so bad the screen turned black and did not come back till after the hard reset
This an amazing device with alot of potential given that HTC unlocks the bootloader (my guess is xda will beat them to the punch . I do not want to do a handset exchange again it is a pain in the butt and it is not like I know the next one will be flawless. I'm torn but you know what I think ill wait until I'm rootedAnd see what the awesome devs cook up if I'm still having issues ill return it. What do you think?

I spoke to voda today. I am onto my second device now and the bugs just keep crawling out so they are sending me another on Tuesday.
But, to be fair I'm quiet disappointed with the sensation. And have lost all faith in htc so I ask if it was possible to change to another device. They said only if the next obe has issues, which I think it will personally. So looks like ill be joining the sgs2 group. These things seem far to unfinished to have on a 24month contract. Personal opinion.

Overheating is bad. It can cause numerous problems, like those freezes. I would try to figure out what's causing it. Try installing OSMonitor and look at the running processes CPU load. In the settings you can sort on load by descending (the default is ascending), which will put the heaviest users at the top of the list. If CPU usage is not causing the heat then the phone may be defective, and you could face ongoing problems. If the cause is some app or setup option then getting another phone won't fix it. The freezes may be an indication the phone is already damaged, with replacement the only option.
Regarding the 2G/4G switching, have you done the toggle ciphering fix? If not you can search the forums for how to do it. If so, then you may just be in a marginal signal area where it's going to flip around. I'm in one myself at home, but use wifi so it's not a problem. If it does it when you're in a strong 4G area then not sure what to say except contact support (you say 4G so I assume you're on TMO in the US).
Don't know about the uninstall quirk. Have the apps been moved to the SD? If so, try moving them back before uninstalling. If they are standard market apps then sounds like a bug that should be reported.
Edit: One other thought. You might try formatting your SD. That's solved some quirky issues for other posters. I had some flakiness on my first Sensation, HTC diagnosed it as a bad SD and sent me a new one.

Thanks for the reply helped alot

Regarding the uninstalling apps issue, I've seen something similar. When I first access an app under Settings>Applications>Manage applications I see the storage numbers rolling rapidly then stop. If I try to uninstall at that point nothing happens. If I back out one level and then go back in to the app I can uninstall it. Odd behavior but the workaround is simple.

[Q] Does the Sensation blow, or do I have a Faulty device?

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).

While I do notice most things are slower than on my Nexus One, some things are just incredibly faster. Theres no denying that web browsing on the Sensation is some of the best I've ever used.

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.

[Q] music application and Rebooting problem

I just bought an HTC sensation from someone on Craigslist yesterday.
Noticed that the phone reboots randomly whenever I go into the music application and then press the back or home button. On average, one out of 4 times that i exit the music app, the phone will reboot.
Called T mobile, it seems impossible to exchange for a new one since I don't have the receipt and am not the original buyer.
Called HTC, was told they had never even heard of the problem before, told me to do a soft reset, then a hard reset, nothing works.
My questions are:
1. is this a software problem, or hardware problem??
2. Is there anyway for me to get a new phone? or is sending the phone to HTC to fix the best option right now?
Thanks in advance for any help.

anyone?? please!!!
any help is highly appreciated

It's most likely a software issue, in my case, the native music player is not showing my song list correctly, and almost everytime i choose a song and hit the back arrow, the music app force closes.
If you're not the original buyer I don't think you can ask t-mobile for an exchange.
Perhaps you should consider getting a new music player, I just tried PlayerPro from the android market, probably the best one out there, it works without problems, it even has a lot more features, however it's not free, but worth the money, or you can download a free player from the market, there are a lot.

I had the same problem. Brand new Sensation, I was over the moon, and when I tried to play music it just rebooted about 5 times!!!
Doing some research, just before I was going to do a hard reset, I read that taking the SD card out and formatting it was a possible solution.
Did it and it worked, so far no more random reboots, so fingers crossed!
It is very easy to do, and only takes 10 mins.
Hope it works

Which app are you using? Also you might want to do a full reinstall if the os and see if that is helpful. I use either poweramp or ubermusic and have not had those problems.

Having very wierd issues with updated G2X

After failing at updating my phone and sending it to LG to have it done I am having so very annoying issues. Applications seem to just randomly dissapear everyday. I download it, useit, and everyday at some point I go to play a game or use a app I downloaded and it says application not installed. Like I delted it or something. Icon is still on home screen, but when I go to market place every app I downloaded says no installed. I even switch apps to my micro sd card to save phone memory. What gives? Also wifi doesnt work anymore. takes for ever to connect, and when it finally does connect the internet doesnt work. When I try to watch youtube videos or browse it takes forever for things to download or upload even with FULL 4G (from reading around TMO did a little false advertising as you dont know when you "actually" have 4G or 3G on this phone unless you go to phone info and check. BS if you ask me). Videos will play for a few seconds and buffer until I just give up.
While I love the update for the eye candy I am not impressed with the performance. Phone service seems to be better. I have full bars more otfen, but the performance isnt up to par.
I am also wondering if my wife having the HTC sensation has something to do with the slow DATA. As she watches alot of youtube and browses the net alot on her phone. Could TMO be slowing our Data b/c of over use?

In the wordsvof Tombaker....Stop your lying kid. This phone is perfect. NONSENSE!

Haha if that were only the truth. While it is the best phone I have ever had, nothing goes with out problems. just seeing if people have had the same problems, or if there are any fixes.

G2X CM7

The apps disappearing probably has to do with your sdcard. When the apps "disappear" is your sdcard mounted to your phone? If your sdcard is mounted to your computer via USB cable, or if your sdcard is removed, then any apps that you've moved to your sdcard won't load.
G2X CM7

Yes my sd card is in my phone. They dissapear randomly while not connected to the computer.

i get that problem sometimes...i have redownloaded scrabble 4 times bcuz of it...dedicated lol

I had this problem for a while when on froyo. It was one of the problems I complained about on LG's forum, along with wifi not working right. After getting a refurb and the GB update, wifi still doesn't work right. Haven't had the app problem anymore though.

Yeah it pisses me off b/c I didnt have these problems before. I had the reboot problem but noticed they were far and few between when I did a hard reset. Its a BS I had to do that but it was the only thing I could do to keep it from rebooting. Then no more then 5 minutes of having my phone back it reboots in the middle of a phone call lol. I guess I can deal with having to do hard resets and downloading games apps multiple times, but I would really like to get my wifi up and running again.
