Had phone for one week, no longer recognizing fast swipes. - HTC Sensation

For the first week, I could do a fast swipe across my home screen to get it spinning. Worked 100% of the time. As of yesterday, it literally no longer recognizes these swipes. It won't move at all, or sometimes it will think I clicked on an app instead of swiping.
Same thing applies to the lock screen. I have to slowly bring up the ring to unlock. Extremely irritating.
What saddens me is this happened on my first phone as well after about a week (exchanged that phone because of dust). Looks like it wasn't just that phone.

Same thing happened to me. Seems like after a week things get funky. Probably just some crappy software coding because the Evo3d doesn't have that problem at all.

Hopefully that OTA coming out fixes the problem, or else I might return it for good and wait on another phone.

I had it for 9 days. No problems with touchscreen. And check the "touchscreen not responsive" thread for possible solution

No issues yet. I only get the spinning effect here and there but I have to swipe fast.

Mine was like this from the start and I couldn't unlock the screen 75% of the time. Yesterday for no reason my screen is normal and the lockscreen works every time.

Same thing happened to me last week. Thought it was because I had installed a bunch of apps, but it wasn't that. What I did was I cleaned the phone with a cloth (inside & out) and VIOLA, it started swiping fast again.

Seems like a grounding issue, but we don't exactly know what's causing the problem. It works sometimes, doesn't work others.

This really sucks. Just the other day I could get it to spin with one swipe. It's impossible to do with any amount of swipes now.

I have to double swipe to get it to work. I have to kill all the running processes in the quick settings first.

What's the point of the carousel super spin? Mine doesn't do it unless I hit it just right, but in my eyes its a total novelty.

Agree, not just useless but a waste of time if you trigger it accidentally. Sense REALLY needs a "performance" setting that disables all the animation crap, like Windows has. That sliding home screen after unlocking is also really silly. I want snap, not spins and gradual fades. If they want to make everyone happy they need to maximize customization.

I'm on my 2nd Sensation and after a week with the second one I am experiencing the unlock issue. I think I'm going to exchange for a SGS4G. Sucks because I absolutely love the phone otherwise.

I just use it as a way to make sure my screen is still responsive. I couldn't care less about anything else about it.

Yes we all agree that the effect itself is not important. But it shows the responsiveness of the touchscreen. If you cant get it to spin, your phone feels like ass when you swipe things.Well hell not just swiping, anything touch related. I removed my sim card, battery and SD card to take it back and exchange it and all of a sudden it started working great. Has been flawless for the past few days, real happy! until today.. I left it on the roof of my car and it hit the road at about 55 and got ran over multiple times. I couldn't find it when i went back to try and save my sim for the trusty N1 but my Bluetooth earpiece came on when in the vicinity and i actually got a phone call when i was waiting to cross the road to pick up the carcass. Had to use the BT though unlocking on the screen would slice your fingers open. So now i'm back to a non responsive touchscreen! DAMMIT! I finished it off prying it open to get the sim, battery and SD card out. Asurion replacement to be here Friday.

I had the same problem after three weeks of the touch screen working perfectly. I followed the instructions in the touch screen issues thread and it fixed it!. I didn't even wait an hour like it said. Turn off your phone, take the battery out, put the back cover back on, hold the pet button for like 15 seconds then Open it up and put the battery back in and turn it on. Worked for me!

That process didn't work at all for me. Left the battery out for just over an hour. All screen issues of being unresponsive are still there. No fast scrolling and lockscreen issue getting quite bad. Can't get carousel at all anymore. And it takes about 5 tries to unlock lockscreen.

The card that the sim card is attached to out of the box can be used to open the battery door. It slides in at the volume rocker and can be flexed enough to pop the battery cover off very easily.

Bottom corner of screen presses down...

I was wondering if anyone of you have experienced this issue. If I press down on the screen right under the search icon in the lower right corner, the glass ever so slightly, very softly presses down. Almost as if the glue is soft or there is nothing hard there. Also I get the screen discoloration that happens when you do that to an lcd screen.
I have read online that others have this issue and even the demo units at the att stores do it as well. Keep in mind that there is no light bleeding through and the glass is not raised just presses down.
What do you all think?

I noticed this on my aria. Its how I got it upgraded to the inspire. These screens are attached with a thin layer of double sided adhesive. Think of it as ultra thin 3m tape. I think it might actually keep the screen from breaking under light stress. I would keep an eye on it and if it gets worse maybe call HTC for repair.
Never had any issue with the digitizer because of it tho.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure how it makes me feel though. I don't think I'll return it just yet.

Mine does the same in the bottom. I've also noticed not all 4 corners are equally flush with the black ring that goes around the screen. O well, small thing really. Phone is so amazing.
Yeah I love this phone. I swapped it out and now everything is good. The only thing though is that out of the 3 they pulled out, 2 had dirt under the screen. That tells me we might need to figure something to fortify the screen better.

That bugs the hell out of me! I wish i would have saw that before my return period expired
Your phone has a 1 year warranty tho. So if it gets worse you can at least have it repaired. I would really suggest getting it fixed because that creates a paper trail.

I tried to swap mine out within my 30 day period, and the sales guy told me he couldn't give me a new inspire (because the demo model and his personal one had the same issue) but would let me get an atrix. I still have my inspire, funky screen and all!
Mine does the same thing. I wonder if all of them do it? did the one you swapped for do it too?
Also when I went in and talked to the radio shack guy he told me that if I put something heavy on it overnight it would reattach to the double stick tape if I didnt want to return it. Also can your return a phone with this issue rooted and s-off? or do you need to go through the process of returning to stock?
I would take it back stock. It seems to be an issue that doesn't affect the phone. Only thing that sucks is returning it to find out the replacement is worst or better yet, get one with dust under the screen. Also it seems to be at the corner of the screen where you normally wouldn't press on the screen.

Mine new one is better
I had no problem trading mine in at all. My new one is much better. Well, actually it has no problems at all. My screen was making an audible clicking when I pressed it down. I just don't touch that section of the screen at all cause I am afraid to hear it again.
My screen is okay. I guess this problem is there for most devices with LCD touch screens. To make it slim/light/cheap the screen rests on a really thin platform I feel.
On a off topic : -This happened with my iPod. I went to the "genius" bar and that guy brought 10 different iPods out and showed me by pressing the bottom right part of the screen that this is "common" .... I had no better argument then.

Another lockscreen unlocking problem

I have problem with Sense 3.0 lockscreen. When I try to pull the ring to the center of the screen, the phone behaves as I would stop touching the screen for a quarter of second - in another words - I am moving my finger from the bottom of the screen to the center (dragging the ring), but the ring randomly goes back to the bottom and suddenly I am dragging the shortcut icon...
Anyone had this?

For me it is annoying. I have to try to unlock the phone for several times because I can't manage to drag this ring to the center of the screen. I "lose" it earlier.
Have you been able to fix this problem? When I go to the lockscreen, it takes me several seconds before I can move one of the quick shortcuts into the ring. If I try to move it right when the screen pops up, I can't drag any of them.
Mine does this sometimes, although annoying, I found the only way around trying multiple times is to hold your finger on the ring for a second before pulling it to the center.

Can't get the carousel to come up at all anymore. I'm annoyed. It has to be Sense causing the problem. The EVO 3D must have a better optimized Sense version cuz that phone flies.

I'm on my second Sensation from T-Mobile and both have the same issue. After about a week the touch screen loses sensitivity in random spots while swiping. This is first noticeable on the lock screen, when dragging the ring up it will "jump" back down to the bottom of the screen and not unlock. After a while I begin to notice that it gets worse and worse. While using the keyboard, swype will finish words while I am still in the middle of them. The first phone got so bad that I could no longer drag the answer icon into the ring when a call came in. I factory reset the first phone to no avail and have just factory reset the second phone and it is still having the same problem.
I will be returning this phone to HTC and hopefully they can get me a working model. I love the phone but this and it's locked status really suck.

I tried this on my lock screen and it worked.

Try it at own risk, I am not responsible for any problems. It worked for me
This is my second sensation with the same issue. I got my second sensation approximately 6 days ago, after my first sensation developed the lock screen issues. Well today I started to experience the same lock screen issues that plagued my first sensation. Well I did a little checking around and I think I might have found a solution to the problem. I have an app installed called mybackup pro. I have been using this app for a while and it has come in real handy in restoring my phone. There is a free version available in the market. I used the paid version. I opened mybackup pro, and I just like to say that I DON'T HAVE anything to do with the app in regards to any monetary gain, basically I just use the app. I opened the ap, i clicked on cancel for the password, clicked on back up, data, local (/mnt/sdcard) check all, and let it back up all the settings. Well I went into my settings/applications/manageapplications/all. i then clicked on the first htc sense tab and cleared the data. You will be prompted with something to the pop up stating that all the applications data will be permanently deleted. I clicked ok and then clicked on the second htc sense tab and did the same thing. You will notice that all your widgets and everything will be deleted from your phone. I rebooted my phone and then opened mybackup pro and clicked on restore, data, local (/mnt/sdcard), data and the most resent date, I ONLY CHECKED MARKED SYSTEM SETTINGS, ANDROID HOME, AND CLICKED ON OK. Let it do its thing and when it is finished it will ask you to reboot your phone. Your phone should be extremely close to the way you had it before (widget wise). And in my case my lock screen is working again. I hope this helps anyone else. Again, It worked for me.

I already tried clearing the data from both Sense applications and then rebooted my phone. I didn't make a back up of everything so Sense was back to the way it came from the factory. Long story short. It didn't work for me. I still had the lock screen issue.

also another trick to faulty lockscreen found on another post, when the phone lay flat on table lock seems to be trouble to unlock unless u pick the phone up in ur hands...but if u have it laying on table flat and grab left side of lock and drag it to the left and the up it works everytime for me...seems the left part of the lockscreen is always ok lol (something to do with phone being grounded)
Ok, the only difference is that I restored my settings using mybackup pro. Could that have been the difference.

I think the way the app and ring move together is what causes the lock issue. I think its just the physics of the ring/app moving together causing the issue. Thats my guess. Other than the lockscreen buggy I have no touch screen issues. YOU?

Yup, I think I agree with that. There are some issues that just don't make any sense though. Why does it become responsive after touching the ring two to three times. It will stay responsive like it should until you turn the display off. I just can't wrap my finger around it.
Could it be something with sense?

Probably is. I seriously don't know why everyone praises HTC. They are going in the wrong direction with Sense. Instead of making it less intrusive, there making it more intrusive with SENSELESS eye candy. HTC needs to take a page out of Samsung's book in my opinion. There making there UI (Touch Wiz) less intrusive but still keeping the features that make Android better.
Sorry to say but this 3D eye candy isn't making anything better and it's quite obvious HTC half assed Sense 3.0.

I don't know if this works for you guys .. but I had that lockscreen issue as well. I noticed that when I play with my wifes phone its perfectly smooth and unlocks with a single swipe. And she can unlock mine easily and never been a problem.The only thing difference is that she didn't take off that screen protector. I have oily skin type so I guess it must be my finger getting sticky. Went to tmobile and got a screen protector and it solves all the problem. Sounds silly but it worked for me and I haven't had a single lockscreen issue in four days as opposed to 4 out of five times before. Hope this helps ..

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

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.

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!
