Hedphone jack shorting out strange issue. - HTC Sensation

I have a small part on my back cover that has no paint on it just bare aluminum. When ever I use hedphones or a headset the plug rubs up against it and causes my phone to play music randomly, switch songs, and call the last person on my call log? Has anyone had a similar issue? It only just started happened recently, I got the phone at walmart on the 12th. Who should I contact about the issue? HTC, T-Mobile, WalMart? I really don't want to send my entire phone in just to have the back replaced.
Here's a picture of the area.

Not on mine but give HTC support a call and tell them and they will send you a new back cover.

Had this on my N1. It's because of the built-in controls on the HTC headphones. My bet is you are not using those and are using headphones that have no controls.
Look up the app called headset blocker and it will disable this function and you should be good to go.

I'm using the headset that came with the phone and tried juts normal earbuds and have the same issue. Thanks for the temporary fix ill try it out.

I haven't even bothered opening the headphones that come with the Sensation, so I'm going to assume they are the same as in the Nexus One.
The issue comes from the diffference in the plug, the one that comes with the N1 has 3 black rings on it, all "separating" everything. The standard stereo ones have 2 rings.
What I did, to solve my problem since stock headphones were got awful, I bought an adapter that adds play controls and a microphone to any headphones. Never had the issue since.

@ OP the same exact thing happens to me all the time i havent found a fix for it at all. it pisses me off because it constantly calls people and skips songs and a bunch of other whacky stuff if you figure it out be sure to post the fix

Strange Ringtone Volume Issue (ontop of known delay issue)

When my Verizon TP rings, the volume on the playing ringtones is loud for a second, and then quiet for a second, and then loud, then quiet.....*repeat.....
This is ontop of the already know ringtone delay issue. The delay issue is annoying, but not as annoying and the volume dropping and then coming back over and over while its ringing.
Anyone else dealing with this? Fix? please...

goto settings/phone/voicecommand & check the phone settings and see if you have announce incoming calls checked....if you do, turn it off. If that doesn't work, I don't know....
Well, thanks Chris. That sure did it. I love it when I can get a quick fix in one short blurb..
Although, i have another related Issue. I have voice command v1.6.19972 and it doesn't work for announcing calls. So, disabling it fixed the issue and i haven't lost anything because it never worked anyway. But how do i get it to work? do i need another version of voice command? and if i do get it working and turn on announcing, will the original issue come back?
Cheers

I think NATF's Latest rom and the one he is supposed to release this weekend (3.0)? fixes the VC issue. The fixed version has to be cooked into the rom I believe. I'm using an older NATF rom and mine doesn't work either. I'm probably gonna upgrade this week to his 3.0 version.. Good luck in the mean time....

Bluetooth stereo headset with caller ID screen?

I'm after a bluetooth stereo headset that has a screen with caller ID compatible with my Nexus One
I'd rather get one without headphones included as I want to use my own but if they have to be then they need to be replaceable.
Any suggestions?
Something like this - Sony Ericsson MW600

But are they compatible with the Nexus One?
Would the caller ID work?

Its the Sony Ericsson MW600. I have it and still use in the office after hours. The only thing it cannot do is show the track info on the display. However, caller ID does show. Only negative in my book is the volume slider is touch sensitive and can be picky at times, but works. Bottom line it is compatible and for a unit with FM transmitter built in and a rockin' battery life, I would recommend it.

Thanks, just what I wanted to hear.
I'm sure I read somewhere though that track info does show?
Well if there was an update to the firmware I don't have it LOL. I am using it right now and the track info does not work off the N1. However you can read the track info when a song is played using the FM transmitter on the headset. Go fig lol.
Ah well, ordered one anyway!
£29.99 seemed quite a reasonable price.

Don't get me wrong, I love it, that is only a minor gripe. The sound IMO is great for a BT headset. And trust me I have gone through my series of headsets lol....
Received my MW-600 today, will post my thoughts after some testing.
Been two days man! lol Any mini review?

I used these for years....design hasn't changed lol. You have the option of using bt or plugging it in. Great if you are running low on juice.

I was looking at this headset, but I was wondering if the side buttons work for pausing and skipping music?
MW600 works like a charm
I'm using the MW600 since a few months.
First with my HTC Legend and now with the Sensation.
The controls work just fine on both phones.
On my Legend it had problems with the integrated mic, thus making it unuseable as handsfree kit, but on the sensation it works like a charm.
Only thing that's missing (but that seems to be a general Android problem) is voice dial. You can accept calls with the phone button on the bt adapter, but you can't use it to issue new calls.

Issues on my brand new one s

Hi everyone! I got my new one s just yesterday and I've been noticing some issues.
First of all a huge problem with Wi-Fi: death grip! I had a desire s before, it also has the same issue but the difference was that it didn't loose the whole signal, just had it dropped a lot. My one s disconnects from Wi-Fi if I hold it landscape.
The other issue is with the screen. With low brightness I can see vertical stripes slightly darker than other parts of the screen. It seems to happen with grey images too.
There is also another issue, with headphones. No matter which ones (tried with monster and soundmagic). Listening to music and turning off or on the screen, I hear the audio crackling for a couple of seconds.
Software version is 1.78.161.2. It's Vodafone brand (Italy) with no more ota updates available.

The WiFi antenna is in the top part of the phone, I don't remember which corner. So when you put your hand over it our blocking the antenna. Just hold it differently.
As for the other problems, I must have a perfect device because nothing is wrong with it. T-Mobile branded.

For me the WiFi issues were solved with the 2.31 update but seeing as you're carrier locked that update might not come, as poster above says, I'venever had such audio problems so its probably a hardware defect covered under warranty. Request a replacement I think. Just make sure they give you the same chipset as what your device has now!
I have same problem with lcd panel like you, vertical and few horizontal stripes on low brightness. Pls everyone who read this thread, try download Bad pixel test and set brightness to the lowest position and try gray background in this app.

Phone Randomly Dies

Hello everyone. It's been a minute since I've posted anything on this site. In January this year I decided to upgrade from my aging Blackberry Priv to one of these phones. I've been using it without any issues until early this morning when I tried to look at my notifications and the screen wouldn't light up. It was working fine all throughout the day, and I don't recall the battery being below 50%. It is unresponsive when I plug it into the wall adapter or my PC, however the PC seems to pick it up as a device called "QUSB__BULK."
The phone is running stock Android, and I only charge it with the wall adapter it came with and occasionally my PC. I only have a few social media and email apps on it. I had the Open Camera app on it, and I'm a little sus of it since there have been times where I would wake the phone up and the camera would just randomly open. It seems like it would bog the phone down a bit when this would happen. I installed the app because I didn't like the way the stock app processed audio while recording videos. The app gave me the ability to record raw audio which worked fine aside from slightly lower volume.
Does anyone have any ideas on what could have caused this?

Figured I'd bump this for an update. I contacted the company shortly after I made this post about the phone. The phone was covered under warranty, and they told me to ship it to them for repairs. I shipped it in June and have contacted them a few times since. I'm suspecting that there was some kind of defect in the motherboard since I'm apparently not the only one who has had this issue. I found a post on another forum dating back to last year from someone with the same experience as me where their phone just randomly said "ight, Imma head out." It's been quite a while since I sent it off, which adds to my suspicion that it was a board issue given the whole chip shortage we're going through. I'll update this post if anything comes up in the future. I miss that phone. Been using an iPhone since I sent it off. It's okay I guess, but man do I miss that keyboard.
Update on the phone - I was contacted by F(X) Tec about four days ago. My phone has been repaired and shipped to the US. I should be getting it back by Wednesday. They did not specify what actually caused the issue with it. Hopefully, once I get it back it won't have any further issues.
