Okay so I was having all kinds of touch screen issues,with the lock screen and in general the display wasn't recognizing swipes and was constantly opening Widgets and apps on the home screens.So I went to do a warranty exchange and took off my Tpu blue argyle case and after a reboot everything went back to normal so just thought I would post(even though this probably won't help anyone)there is a chance that it might.Please post your responses whether this helps or not and if your phone has been naked all it's life and still having problems.I usually always have my phone naked in a Nexus one pouch as I bought a bunch of them and like the protection they offer.

Thanks for contribution, but this is NOT a fix, trust me. Not for most people anyway.
Your a little to late to the dance my friend. This has been said multiple times over the past 6 weeks. Works for some and not for others. A lot of people also report that after a while, the problems come back whether the case is on or not.

Right on no biggie,that's why in my post I said this most likely wouldn't help anyone I just wanted to know if anyone else noticed a difference and if it came back,and like you said it does so thanks.I just thought it was odd that a case was causing problems,I was also having wifi problems and since I took the case off those too have been resolved so I guess I have to wait and seen if there is a direct correlation or couincidence as I didn't have any issues pre case.

The case is blocking some of the WiFi signal. I know its not much but a piece of rubber is enough to **** up a already weak signal.

I owned 2 sensations and both of them i returned for that same problem.
No matter how many resets or messing around with settings the screen woldnt register my touch after about a week and a half.
Im going for the mytouch 4g slide now and pray it works fine lol
I no longer have the problem after removing bloat ware and putting on a screen protector. Not sure which one fixed the problem. Try both!

Right on,thanks for the apology and I appreciate the info,your right it's common sense and it's just I have read of sooo many people complaining about this phone (death grip,poor wifi,touch screen issues,random reboots)and I hadn't experienced any of them until last week when I bought a case and for the last week I have had problems until today and when I took of the case off presto all MY problems disappeared.Which is odd since my wife has a similar case and has used it since launch and never had any issues.I just normally never use a case with any of my devices and haven't for a few years.

There's some things I would do if I were you just for precaution.
1. Turn "Tell HTC" off. Its a setting under "About Phone". A lot of people have reported improved touch sensitivity and speed.
2. Take your battery out and keep it out over night.
Those two things seem to be fixing the issues the most.

I encountered the laggy unlock ring problem about 2 weeks after I got the phone. It lasted about a week and then went away. I haven't had any problems for almost a month now. I've never put a case on my phone, but I did disable all HTC syncs and disabled most HTC and Tmobile apps.
Had it a few days now and I have a problem on incoming calls.
When I press answer it takes at least 3 seconds before I can hear the caller. Sometimes it doesn't work at all.
Its like a delay in activating the speaker/mic...
Tried rebooting and a custom rom (Coredroid) Still have same problems.....
Any help guys?
did you buy it from UK, carphonewarehouse? (or under e2save or mobile.co.uk)

It seems other devices with 2.3.3 are affected by this. So it cannot be a hardware problem its just a simple fault with gingerbread. So we just need to wait for an update
BTW, which deal did you buy your DS from? The _£25 a month for
12months?

Hello all, I was wondering if any of you knowledgeable people had any news of I.C.S coming to the US , via T Mobile? There is so much speculation on this, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this subject? I contacted T Mobile representive and she did not know what I was talking about.....then she said oooh that will be months away! I hope she's wrong! Months away? Really, what is your understanding on this subject? I will appreciate any input or opinions, thank you

I was waiting for this: I think every carrier should have its own "When is ICS coming to my Sensation OTA?" thread.
That said, the information you got is typically non-informative. I remember struggling to explain what a software update was to one of the reps. Now, of course, I realize that they simply don't have an answer and, per posts to be found elsewhere (Search!) say "in a month or two" as a basic TMO CYA policy.

Thank you for the tip.
Honestly I'm glad T-Mobile decided to delay the update. For some reason HTC now thinks it's acceptable to turn on your WiFi and/or Mobile Network whenever they damn well please. Apparently it takes a carrier to change their mind.
Hopefully it's a quality update when released!
Yeah I hope so too

There's no way that's an official Tmobile statement. Did you see the terrible grammar and run-on sentences? That person has a junior high education at most. An actual press release would be much better formulated.
I'm guessing that "update" was copied and pasted directly from a thread here at XDA.

Do you normally leave them on? If so then you're immune. This is a well documented issue with every ROM using the latest bases from HTC. Just read a few pages of any ROM thread using the base. Turning off auto-sync mostly eliminates the issue but it's a serious pain.
Regardless of workarounds, I find it utterly unacceptable for my phone to turn on its own data connection without me telling it to. I'm sure T-Mobile feels the same way. Imagine the support calls and troubleshooting nightmares.

No WiFi problems for me on arhd ics. As for the update, I really think T-Mobile is going to release it after the one debuts. They don't want to cannibalize one sales.

It's happening to me too, and a few searches on Google found some threads on some of the ICS ROMs that quote up to 45 minutes for it to come back. I'm wondering how many messages those people had, though. The last I checked I think I had over 15K (I'm a pack rat - that's every message since my first Android phone activated the night before they launched the G1). I know that it took a couple of hours to restore those messages when I first got my Sensation using MyBackupPro, so I'm hoping that will be the approximate amount of time this "upgrade" will take.
I'm also hoping that the messaging app will be faster. I had almost this many messages on my G2 last month before I upgraded to the Sensation via a warranty exchange. The first time I loaded the messaging app on my Sensation it took 5-10 seconds to show me the list (G2 was < 1 second). Hopefully the HTC ICS Sense messaging app will be as fast as the app on my G2 or I may have to revoke my pack rat status.
[Update, it seemed to take around an hour when all was said and done. It seems to load and update the screen much faster now as well, but I'll know for sure when I get some new messages...]
Ok after reading all of you guys opinions on the ota is ready making me think twice about installing it lol
Sent from My $40 Sensation
I just updated my post above to include the results. It looks like the messaging app might be faster for huge numbers of messages now.
But you may have to wait up to an hour per 15K-ish messages to do its initial bookkeeping on the first start after the OTA.
My sensation won't update. It starts the update process then freeze. WTF!

I'm happy with it, but I have noticed one issue. Twice now the screen brightness has gone way down and not come back up. I have to turn automatic brightness off and back on for it to come back.
I don't care about the blue battery icon, I use ChargeBar and Battery Status to keep an eye on charge levels anyway.
I too have the same problem, I received the android 4.0 update notic and have already download it but unable to update after the download. when ever I hit the install now all I see is an android icon and the ! mark on my phone scerrn. When that happen I will have to remove the battery out of the phone before I can get it back on. I am using the sensation 4G but running the sensation XE firmware from XDA website.
