Does the sensation make cracking sounds when you press on the screen with little effort? It is similar to the sound the back battery cover makes when it gets pressed on other devices. Just quivering if its a defect or normal. I think its the noise of the edge of the screen rubbing with the frame of the phone.

There are a lot of threads about this. A lot off people are getting new covers from HTC. You can also try to put a little tape on the inside of the cover, to make.it more snug

so this is common and most people can hear a noise of the phones cover when the screen is pressed using about the same amount of pressure as snapping your fingers?

Yeah. It's a defect with the back casing. I didn't have it for the first week or so that I owned the phone but it started appearing after that.

I'm getting it next week so I'll let you know. I did my exchange through T-Mobile. I tried doing it online, but the CSR rep wasn't picking up on what I said so I just called. They handle all the stuff for me and are sending me a phone from HTC.
I got my replacement today and it was just the phone, not the back cover. Not sure if it's a refurb or a new model. I have no more creaking sounds and the screen doesn't "give" anymore either. Hope that helps.
If it makes a noise when you press "right there" then don't press right there. Never in by wildest dreams have I ever thought of returning my phone cuz it made "a noise". I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous. You complain about sounds created from actions that aren't part of everyday use. It's like you sit and look for defects just so you have something to complain about. It's insane. I'm sorry if this comes off as rude or a rant, but it just bugs me seeing just so many useless threads like this.

If you're talking to me, it isn't the only issue I had. I had light leaking through the bottom left hand corner, the text/screen flicker issue, and the fact the battery would overheat while charging at times. I paid a premium price for the phone and I expect to get my money's worth. I don't think that's unfair.

I agree. i have searched and found a bunch of people that had the creaking sound when pressing on the screen. unsure why but my intention was to find out of it was common and everyone had this issue or not. i also have screen problems at times and that is when i called tmobile about it and at the end mentioned the creaking sound. the back shell is defective thats why its creaking. if i really wanted to start picking things to complain and return the device i would have done that for not having a external sd or small pointless crap like that or how the official case covers holes in the back. i also had pixalation problems on the screen. my biggest problem was just i had to press the screen a bunch of times just to get it to respond. we are paying $500+ for phones so we expect them to work!

On some units, yes. But not all units have these issues. I didn't even mention the lock screen issue when half of the screen disappears or the ring isn't responsive. I wouldn't mind if I only had one of those issues, but all of them combined got to be too much.

I see your point, but I guess what I'm trying to get at is that me personally, I read up a whole lot on every phone I get before I make that jump to buy. I have "a person" that gets the newest gadgets to me alot cheaper than retail and I still read up. So, if i was gonna pay $600 for a new device, please believe I'd have studied on it long and hard first, knowing all of the pros and cons, and weighing them out. Them making the purchase and being satisfied with what I'd bought because I made a solid decision after thoroughly researching it.
BTW, sorry to hear you got a bad one. So far, the only issue I've had with mine has been the fact that sometimes it takes 5 or 6 tries to unlock the screen cuz the icons move instead of the ring, so I can understand your frustration.

Did it have anything about the warranty? New units have one year. Refurbs come with 90 days. So if it was a new unit, it could technically say 1 year. I dont know for sure, just guessing. How's the quality of the replacement unit? Any scratches/blemishes anywhere? Thx.

No, it didn't. Not as far as I can tell.
It's not too bad. Don't see any scratches/dust/or whatever. The speaker isn't as good as my old one and the yellow tint is a bit noticeable, but there's no screen flicker. Other then that it's a pretty good phone.

Let us know what they say.
I originally ordered mine online and just called to get replacements. The rep said - and it is on the return form - that you can only return/exchange through the channel you purchased. Or, if you are a new customer, you could cancel and then go to a store and sign a new contract - and get a new phone number.
Customer rep said she'd escalate the issue, and that once the issue was assessed, they'd make sure to check for the issue in the replacement units, so she said they won't be sending out faulty units. She said I was the first person to comment on it, so I'd recommend that more people call in to T-Mobile to make sure they address the issue. I'm surprised so many people are having this issue! Also said that it has to be sent through the warehouse and I couldn't exchange in store.
I have some minor bleeding but nothing irksome. I checked it on full screen apps, not startup.
I'd replace it if it was guaranteed no leaking I guess but not going to go nuts over it.

except for qHD and design quality, I like everything from sgs II.
But I still want to go for sensation. I have seen some of the video review and found that the sensation screen has yellowish color when being looked the side.
I am a bit a person like to show off. am wondering whether the hot girls will just laugh at this.
Sounds to me like you have bigger issues than just the yellow tint

Well, ignoring the girls comment, on the Slashgear screen comparison video they mention that on the video it looks yellowish but that in real life it is very white (whiter than the SII).
I got mine delivered on saturday and was immediately disappointed as the screen does have a yellow/green tint and the whites are not bright white
I went to my local vodafone store to compare it with one of theirs and the one they unboxed had a perfect display. I tried to exchange but they couldn't as mine was an online purchase and not a store purchase!!
Went home and contacted the online team and they agreed to exchange and made arrangements for a replacement to be delivered tomorrow (tuesday). Several hours later I got a call from them to say they were out of stock so the replacement will be delayed but I should get it sometime this week!!
Overall I like the phone but the display on mine definitely lets it down! Hoping that the replacement will be ok
Please update it on this. If this is case by case, I would still give it a go.

Of course it is if you're not happy with it. Having compared mine to one that was ok it was obviously not up to standard. Contact customer services via the phone and request a new replacement.
Still waiting for my replacement though, had another call from vodafone earlier to tell me I will now recieve mine tomorrow and not today. Hope it does as I have now had my sensation for almost a week and it has been in the box for all but about 2 hours!

hoorah!
So it's finally arrived 10 days after vodafone agreeing to replace.... what a performance getting it.
This one is good, the screen is fine and whites are white.... yay!
Fully set up with no other probs yet found although like others have reported it does get warm on charging.
Now we'll see how it goes......
Another update. Went to shop again today, same thing, went to phones4u, their one looked tiny bit whiter. Decided to stick with my current unit..
Also, i noticed that brand new ones at voda where even more yellow than mine, so maybe screen needs some time to burn or something? One thing i'm not going to do is i will never put my desire next to sensation, as this annoys me a lot then, when i can see how much difference there is.
Another thing, i believe it is software problem, not hardware, as when i look at xda its got some hue, but when i scroll forums, colour changes to normal ever so slightly. Weird.....
Oh, and the LOOKS i was given at vodashop.... I think they believed I was an idiot, shame i didn't have desire with me...
Thanks man. That is really great to know. I might go for sensation. What an idiot I am.

Before calling anybody wrong, why don't you prove your seemingly baseless statement? Where did you pull it out of? Your personal experience? Your knowledge of the HTC supply chain? Your behind perhaps?
Is this a hardware or software issue? It's pretty annoying. I can't scroll or type fast anymore because the screen can't keep up. If its a hardware issue I bet HTC will stay quiet about it, but if its software related I want it fixed ASAP. I absolutely can not use the phone like this.

I noticed this too, especially when typing.
I've never had any speed issues.... I text pretty fast and it's smooth as butter. Scrolling is especially great on mine....pages FLY up/down.
Just to let you know...that's not normal for the Sensation. It should be fast.... on properly working ones.... like mine
Do a factory reset AND a battery pull...if it still does it, there is a problem.
Make sure nothings slowing it down....bad app, launcher etc.
Love this phone...would never need anything faster
Good luck!

Mine is with SN: HT 15EV, Taiwan made, Sharp LCD and i have the grounding issue- if the phone is not in my hand i cannot unlock it...
I want somebody to confirm if it's a hardware issue and to know what to do- return it or wait for a fix

So far everyone been returning it, just in case it is a hardware problem. BUT! The one i got replacement for, is still sitting at my home (they failed to pick it up twice now). Out of interest, i pulled it out, started it and guess what-no issue at all, no matter how hard i tried to replicate it. I have done factory reset before and it didn't help. but factory reset + keeping it turned off for a week seemed to eliminate the problem. So i sort of look like software problem, but why initial factory reset didn't help then?
Guys, I had this problem yesterday and here's some observations.
- I had this problem after a long charge about 9 hours.
- I couldn't unlock in normal way. I was able to unlock only if I slide that ring from its left side when I wasnt touching the phone. Might be dislocation problem.
- I've tried with a different lockscreen app(GoTo Lockscreen) this problem didn't occur.
- Pulled out the battery for a few minutes then put it back like HTC said. Didn't seem to solve the problem. Then I've deleted other launchers and rebooted. That seemed to solve.
Mine has gone to the HTC service centre in the UK, due to this issue. Will report back as to what they do.
My gut feeling says software. The reason I say this is I also own a Thunderbolt which is running a port of the Shooter RUU and it runs absolutely buttery smooth. The Thunderbolt has 768mb of RAM, same as ours, but is using the 2nd gen snapdragon chipset (single core). So certainly its a far weaker device hardware wise but can run Sense 3.0 flawlessly.
I just wrote an article about the issue. If you guys could share it around I'd really appreciate it.

Yeah, good article. I'm on day 4, so "it" hasn't hit, yet. 2 questions: is the EVO S-Off out of the box, and is the one you tested rooted? I would guess not. Hoping against hope that when we're rooted and can get rid of the damn bloat, things will be majorly different. Second, what real-world benefit does Gingerbread actually provide over FroYo? I had thought FroYo was somehow JIT-optimized, but that GB was from the get go and would solve all of the world's problems? Can anyone explain exactly what the benefit of GB is, and whether it can/will not be a benefit until root? TIA...
Hello everyone,
Well after glancing this thread, I've noticed that there have been known problems related with touchscreen, dust, and battery life. I can get a brand new sensation sealed for 320 $ off contract. Is it worth it with all these problems? I had a g2x and sold it due to its problems and it seems like the sensation has more problems than the g2x. Also, I won't have a receipt so I can't exchange it like many of you if I have a problem.
I currently have a nexus S that will be faster than the stock sensation. The reason I want to buy this phone is because I need more space and I have a 32 gb sdhc laying around that I can use.
I know that the dust as well as unresponsive touchscreen will be a big annoyance. However, the price makes it so tempting.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks
The risk is that phone may have death grip issue.
Almost every single smart-phone released within the last 2 years, android or otherwise has had a similar concoction of problems, either screen, dust, battery, whatever.
I've had 0 issues with my device and am amazingly happy.

Thanks for your input. However, my nexus S has been working perfectly with no dust, touchscreen issues etc. I just wish it would have a microsd slot
I would steer well clear of the Sensation until the bootloader situation is resolved. It is pointless 'downgrading' in terms of the performance you will get out of the box and pointless leaving a device that works perfectly for one with a variety of niggling issues.

It's a dice roll, and no one here has the facts to know what the risks are of getting a bad phone.
It has yet to be determined if the wifi and touchscreen issues are HW or SW or some combination. There's evidence that supports each conclusion. Battery life is probably related to usage, sync options, and some apps, so can be tweaked as on all phones. If the upcoming SW update from HTC resolves the wifi and screen response problems then I'd say the phone is probably worth risking. If not, then who knows?
Without knowing the exact causes and the actual failure rates all you'll get are guesses. My advice, if you buy it have a plan B on how to exit if it turns bad.
I got my sensation launch day, 0 problems except that the front facing camera doesn't outperform many other smartphone ffc's in low light.
You should buy that phone, and you should PM me and tell me how I can get one for that price.
Unless there's just one, then you shouldn't buy it and just tell me how I can.

I'd steer clear for now just because it seems like the stock rom is going to be a lot laggier than what the Nexus S has to offer. It's laggier even than the Evo3D, for some reason.
Chuck in the battery life, dust under the screen and the probability that you'll develop the touchscreen wonkiness over time, and I'd wait until it's been properly updated
No issues on my end.. phone is working great for me. I think the battery life issue is way overblown (power users who will never find an OEM willing to make a battery that meets their needs but is overkill for the average user). The tech blogs show the the Sensation to be above average and better than the other "superphones" I checked; http://www.laptopmag.com/review/cell-phones/htc-sensation-4g.aspx?mode=benchmarks&cids=2804,2800,pa
I find it highly convenient that you chose to link to one of the few sites that rated the Sensation above its main rival. I'm not saying the Sensation is a bad device as I would have bought one weeks ago had the bootloader been unlocked or HTC bothered to release a timetable for it. However the fact remains that the vast majority of sites put the Sensation second in every category bar build quality and Sense (which comes down to personal preference and at least you have the option to change things on rival devices).
So your giving advice and you dont even own the phone?
I find it funny you guys mentioned dust under screen like it's widespread issue everyone has. But truthfully it's not . Nor does every phone suffer from screen responsive issues.
I know these for a fact cause I had 3 sensations none of them had the same issues. In fact none of them had dust under the screen. The phone I have in my hands right now. Has been nothing short of perfect. I have not had any issues.

Not giving you a hard time, I've just seen way too many posts saying the phone was perfect for X days, then all of a sudden it started degrading. Same happened to me, 5 days perfect, by day 7 totally dead. Hopefully I'll get lucky on the replacement, but I'm only semi-optimistic.
Buy it and sell it on ebay ...you can get around $500 for it either way buy and and figure out what you wanna do later

I find it funny how you say the phone is perfect AFTER mentioning the fact it's your third one. If the issues you experienced merited changing TWICE, then I can hardly see this as reliable phone

Actually the 1st one had issues overheating ect. The 2nd one was fine I just wanted the sharp screen. I got the phone with my preffered screen and it's giving no issues 1 week in. But if you wanna judge a phone off someone else's experience or off a few bad phones in a batch. Then to each his own.

Hey guy, so I'm gonna be returning my 3rd Inspire this coming week.
The 1st one had a few dead pixels and was returned within the initial 30 day grace period through at&t.
The 2nd time the actual screen started to seperate from the frame of the phone and would float near the corners and what I mean is you could lightly push down on the screen in certain spots and see it lift and rise.
When I got the second one, which I have now, it was fine then the GPS completely stopped working and I went to a warranty supper center where you would go after the original 30 day period.
I took it in there with the GPS issue and the guy wouldn't do anything for me and gave me the number for HTC and told me to call them myself and deal with them.
Now, the screen is floating again, and my phone has never been dropped or damaged.
I don't want to put up with this BS anymore and I want a new phone.
I got tired of my Inspire not correctly working and went and bought a Nexus S off contract. I'm happy with it.
What I'm asking is, should I just have it replaced and sell the new one to get some money back for the Nexus purchase or ***** and complain to at&t for a completely different phone?

Of all the forums I am on for the desire HD/inspire I can't recall one person complaining about their screen coming loose. I would say you are a little hard on your phones. Goodluck with your samsung product.
Very easy on my phone and always handle it with care, it cost a lot of money. Lol
I'm very anal which could also be my problem, but with cost of the phone, contract, insurance and everything else included, I should not have to deal with such issues.

Its hard for me to imagine such a solidly built device having so many problems, but yet all i hear is constant complaints from my wife about hers. Lagging or freezing, battery drains etc. it doesnt make any sense to me because I don't have any of theose problems with mine.
Hers was one of the first run as she got it on the day they came out. I wonder if that makes a difference?
I work at one of those device support centers you went to.
That screen issue is a manufacturers defect we've seen a couple of times.
I wouldn't bother calling ATT for a different model phone. They won't do it for you. I'm not saying it to be mean, but just so you don't waste your time. To warranty policy, that first exchange you did within the first 30 days doesn't count towards a warranty exchange. That guy at the device support center should have exchange it though.
If you don't mind, in a private message I would love your phone number so I can look up who handled your ticket in Opus and the date you went there. I know it's asking a lot, but a customer being handled like that needs to be reported to my bosses. Delgreco, and whatever the girls name that took his place at the moment while he's on leave, will not like that.
I would go back to the DSC and see if they will replace it. If they don't, get their ATUID and the managers name, as well as the location, and ask for their store code and shoot me a private message. If worse comes to worse I can do an XBM for you, but I would need pictures of your LDI and the screen stuff sent to me.
Anyway, PM me and keep your personal information, if you choose to go that route, of the forums.
Pm'd

Should you choose to send your phone number so I can look up the account notes in Opus (I can understand the hesitation to some stranger on a forum) send it to me via PM and not in this thread.
Mepis thank you for stepping up. Good on you!

Guess there are a lot of bad ones. My first inspire had a problem where if you lightly pressed the center of the screen, it would turn off. On my second inspire (one I'm currently using) haven't had any problem with it. And I got it early March or whatever

I thank you for that thank you. As I was explaining partially to the OP in PM, the way this rep handled him makes me and the rest of the company that handles the DSCs look bad. At the DSCs, we understand dealing with anyone over the phone is a very big hassle. In fact, we try and keep customers off the phone at our location. Sorry to them, but the script monkeys aren't that helpful. The idea of the DSC is to put the customer in a face to face position with some one both helpful and knowledgeable.
With that said, I will happily extend an open invitation to any XDA member to PM me with questions or concerns. I'm not going to lie and say I can help everyone, but I will try my best.
At this point I would like to help the OP get his situation resolved. If there is no liquid or physical damage to his Inspire, then he has every right to a working device and should no be treated with such disregard.

Look at getting it replaced, especially if the camera lens is not aligned close to center in the back of the phone. We have been seeing a trend with the first run of the Inspires with issues like the screen popping up, the bottom volume button becoming jammed, camera not working, and phone not turning on.
If you're willing to wait until tuesday I can send you a list of where the DSCs are in your area if there are any, if not the WSC line would, *hopefully* be able to give it to you quicker.
I'd like to know if there is a DSC in my area. Greenville sc.

My first inspire had dust under the screen and pinholes in the black around the capacitative buttons. At night you could see a few spots where the backlight shined through. The warranty guy looked at me like I was crazy, but hey I'm anal and it needs to be perfect.

Sorry to hear about all of these Inspire problems you guys are having.
I haven't had a single problem with mine, and I've had it since the week they came out.
