Before anyone cries foul I had the phone for almost 3 weeks and it has had some quircks I am not too happy with.
Sad to say but I just want the phone to work. Sure will miss the big screen and all the custumisation(sp) that android has.
I also called att and Samsung about the problems and upgrade to 2.3.4 and was told they have no idea.

yeah i am coming from and htc inspire which i gave my wife i am still in my 30 day period so i might just go get another htc inspire the inspire to me had much better functunality and use the screen isint as clear but hey it always worked my infuse has been glitchy from day one just like my captivate was i guess i should have known better oh and just my opinion the build quality of the inspire is second to none
I don't have any type of problems with my bluetooth..... I play hours on end via bluetooth to my in car setup.
Might be some kind of interference. Try putting it on the dash.
What quirks are you guys talking about? I never had problems with my cappy or infuse.
the random bluetooth disconnect i have random data disconnects that require me to toggle airplane mode to get data back everytime i reboot the phone certain widgets are gone i cant even put them back i have to uninstall the app and reinstall just to get the widget back i also am seeing nowhere close to the data speeds i had with my inspire
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.

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.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk
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).

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.
my first sensation decided to troll me and wouldn't turn on whatsoever . stupid people at tmobile told me that it needed to charge and I was like
" no I just rely on the power of love" I.had to bring it in to prove to them that I fully charged it and it still didn't turn on.
I got my replacement yesterday and I am still disappointed. The phone reboots itself at least once a day. Sometimes the touch screen just doesn't work until I pull the battery. They're too many deathgrips . And I already have two dead pixels .
ive tried everything on the forums and this still happens. Should I just sell this thing and get the MT4G Slide?

If you're having that many issues, than I would go for the my4g slide. Sorry you kept getting crappy phones
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Besides the switching off and the dead pixels, i think the problems can be ironed out with a nice new rom, I don't want to tell you to get rid of it, then a whole host of great rom's come out and it's the next biggest thing!
Because then you will be pissed, but i've noticed a few issues myself.
Icon's change to generic after a reboot (not all just some) - remove and replace.
Buttons become unresponsive - swipe screen and press a button on a dif page.
Reboot for no reason - i have no idea why this happens ?
Phone lags, slower than DHD running same rom - wait for the roms to come in.
There are a few other problems but these are the ones which annoy the hell out of me, i'd speak to the people you got the phone off and make sure you get a working one this time, complain until your blue in the face and you will normally get what you want, get them to test out the issues which have occured for other people as well as the ones which you have experienced.
Good luck man.
Third time should be a charm. I say give it one last try. My first one was almost perfect, but this second one hit the spot.

First and last one, perfect except the lag thing (data lagged too), Asian ROM, bought in Austria.
Don't give up, give it another try, I think the reboot thing happens on branded devices? Mine is unbranded and Sense rebooted on me twice, not the whole phone, and my touchscreen doesn't have any issue.

Honesty, I've haven't seen any performance issues other than what most people mention like death grip,horrible battery and dust under screen. I'm still lukewarm about keeping it. I love the phone but the issues above shouldn't be on this type of phone. Then you add in your issues then it makes it even worse.

Screw waiting for a rom to see if the problem "might" go away, return it and get another.
Ugh, sounds like the G2x. I have had 0 "real" issues with my sensation. No lag, no touch screen issues, no dust issues. I HAVE seen the death grip for wifi, and have seen dips in wifi signal just turning it to landscape. No biggies there, don't hold my phone that way, and the signal comes right back up.
I've seen some squiggly line issues on widgets that appear to be a resolution issue. Easy fix when it happens.
I did have about 3 odd reboots over about 2 days, again seemingly linked to landscape mode switching. A factory reset fixed those. Oddly, as soon as I did that factory reset was when I had the very first squiggly line issue. Eh. *shrug*
In all, it's fast and wonderful and I love it
Oh, and my only other real complaint, low volume was fixed quite nicely by the app Volume+
If its not working properly, send it back. I went through 4 G2x's cause of random reboots and BlackSOD while charging. When they stopped wanting to replace em and wanting me to wait til "summer" for an update, I made em send me a Sensation. Sadly, not free, BUT a full upgrade I was not due for. I sold the last G2x for more than the upgrade cost me so I made a little on the deal.
I would just go get another one. I wonder why so many people are having randomly rebooting phones?
I hear you man, my first 2 sensation 4g (tmobile USA) were so messed up, the ring to unlock will not respond, the phone was so laggy, when I wanted to swipe the home screen to a different page it would open an app instead, the diaper was not responsive, phone was getting warm and stuff like that. I'm now on my 3rd sensation and so far so good. It's been 3 weeks now as oppose to 1 week for each of my first two sensation. I haven't had any issues with my current sensation, although it lags a little bif from time to time when I swipe the home screen but hopefully HTC will fix it. I myself am an HTC fan, but I think I'll get the Samsung Hercules when it comes out. As much as I like my sensation, it's not as fast I thought it would be. It doesn't feel dual core speedy to me. Don't get me wrong it's definitely fast, but then again when you compare it to the G2x and the SGS2 ( sorry to compare but they're all dual core top phone so it's inevitable to compare) it's falling behind in terms of pure speed.

I'm coming from a samsung vibrant and although it's slower it seems like it multitasks a lot better. I'm pretty sure this is due to sense taking up way too much ram. The phone is pretty fast opening up apps and I'll probly end up keeping it but I'm very disappointed in the multitasking. Also I can't count how many times I have pressed the home screen button and it has to reload the home screens because it runs out of ram. Is anyone else having this issue?

Yes I have thought about rooting it but I'm kinda scared. I'm not new to rooting phones( I've rooted every Android phone I have had) but this one scares me because of no removable battery. My vibrant was nice because of a program called Odin that saved me quite a few times when I've had a bad flash. Odin was a program that would flash the phone back to stock firmware no matter what happend to your phone which made the vibrant virtually unbrickable. Does HTC have any software that will do that?

Oh and if hold the power button for ten seconds or so it will do a hard reset of the phone no matter if the phone is stuck in a boot loop or not. I was stuck in a boot loop because I was trying to theme something and it was just boot looping and I held the power button and sure enough it turned off the phone and I was able to get into boot loader again. So not having a removable battery shouldn't be an issue

lol, I watched that video before I bought this phone however, what the video doesn't show is that when you click on a app in the recent apps menu it usually has to reload the app so its not really truly multitasking. Android has a built in task manager that closes out the other apps when it needs more ram for the new app and because sence is a ram hog sometimes It will only allow me to run one app at a time. And i never said the phone sucks, I just said I was disappointed. I like the phone and I even like sence, ( its very sexy) but it uses way to much ram. Probably doesn't help that my home screens are loaded with Widgets too. : P

@ jriv,
My vibrant would also do a hard reset when you hold the power. However when I would bootloop and did that it would only reboot into a bootloop. Are u saying that you can reboot into recovery this way during a boot loop? I also had a Motorola cliq that I almost bricked but was able to pull out my SD card and put it in my computer so I could put another file on it and reflash the rom. With no external SD I am also hesitant.

Yes if you hold power it will turn off the phone then you can hold the power button plus volume down and it boot into boot loader then from there u can select recovery.

Maybe I will check it out. I know if I keep it i will end up rooting it eventually but I am still trying to decide. The phones I had before the vibrant ( Motorola cliq and HTC my touch 3g) were a bit of a pain with radio compatability and roms. That is another reason I'm a little weary. I can't remember the last time ive had to use adb. Everything was so easy with the vibrant

Rooting is simple there is just a program you run and it roots you're phone for you.the other part is un locking the bootloader but there is instructions for that. As of right now there are no radios to choose from so all roms work pretty easy.

"Loading" message on the home screen is caused by enabling a setting in "Developer options" called "Dont"t keep activities". This setting instructs the phone to "destroy" every activity as soon as you leave it. So in essence, everytime you leave the home screen to do anything else, the phone "destroys" HTC Sense. The loading message is HTC Sense being restarted once you exit to the home screen. Unchecking this "feature" will eliminate the "Loading" message.
Destroy activities seems clear by default. Was wondering if anyone played with the background process setting though...it has a default and 1-4 processes allowed.

I think I hit it by mistake while in the developer options. It was only after being in here that the "loading" started happening. Clearing it resolved it for me. Not sure how the background processes setting changes things. I left it at default.
forget the developer options or scripts. they don't help.
as many of you know there're no multitasking issues on other recent android phones. you can leave games or streaming apps and come back to them half an hour later and still be in the same spot. with HOS as soon as you leave them, you're going to start over. the oom values don't help much with the situation as the phone has plenty of memory for any applications. the issue isn't the memory available, but how the phone manages saved states and KERNEL is responsible for that. so until a talented soul would be able to fix it on KERNEL level for us we're are stuck with it.
I have a Vibrant that I still mess with, if you ask me Odin sucks big time. It's more of a crutch then anything if you ask me. Of all the 5 android devices I hate the Vibrant the most. That being said it still is a good phone and the one I use currently is run Slim ICS.
I can tell you that you don't have to worry about the non-removable battery. Holding down the power button will always power off the phone. No need for a battery pull.
I can also tell you that multitasking SUCKS on the stock One S rom. The phone reloads apps much much more often then my other android devices.

Bingo! Mannequin is spot on about the multitasking problem.
