Unpleasant 'sensation' when swiping 'notifications'...? - HTC Sensation

I may be alone, but my thumb gets a quite unpleasant 'sensation' when I swipe 'notifications' at the top of the device, it catches on the glass below the speaker grill. It's so annoying I may have to take it back...anyone else notice this?
Hoping I posted in the right spot...

I haven't had a similar issue.

Someone call me? BTW...nope...Gorilla glass is smooth as it should be

Nope. My ROM works great though and if this isn't AlphaRev I don't care.
Please move.

It's where the glass meets the speaker grill, even my son noticed it, maybe it's not placed correctly, I'll have to try another to verify..

its yours', believe me. i've had 5 sensations so far and not one had that issue. exchange it.

I think you're putting your thumb up too high on the screen...

I feel a coarse area there, no reason to swipe that high though.. Not even registered on the screen.

You might be right, I'm so used to HD2 and iPhones, G2x, all swipe from the extreme edge...hmn maybe my habit..I'm reluctant to exchange it as it runs so well... I may have to compare at a local store...Hoping it's just one poorly placed screen...sigh, I love this phone...but can't live with the current swipe...

Maybe you should buy a bigger cell phone......

exactly, it's the way the phone was built, so I don't think a replacement is gonna help.

Kinda noticed it, but it's when you try to tap the "htc" logo on top. Just tap on the notification bar instead. problem solved

Yeah, I'm going to have to change my hd2/iphone/g2x habit....I did go to the store to check out another sense and the T mobile girl agreed, it is a smidge elevated and coming from totally flat fluid screens would make a difference..will re educate my thumb...loving the phone...maybe I ask too much?

Look at the white line under the 4 right on the edge of the screen.. Would you exchange it?
yes.

If you're talking about the white line on the edge of the screen (below the 4 on the right hand side), then yes I would. Just make sure it isn't just that app and that it's like that on every black screen. If it is then it's defective and you should get a new one.

Thanks all...I replaced it, first the lady said she couldn't see it, I said look again, then she exchanged it... So far this ones a keeper..
One question, I bought my Sensation by phone, if there's any problem with it, can I replace it at the store or need to call to send it back? Thanks.
Hell yeah id replace it. That's worse than a dead pixel that I had on my vision.. oh how annoying it was..

I wouldn't even have to ask anybody else. I would've exchanged it as soon as I noticed it.

the back cover fits fine on one side and then creaks when you apply pressure on the other side from the middle of the phone downwards...

Now its annoying me as well, i have another sensation and when i place the new cover the creaking stops, but i have a skin protector on this one so im reluctant to change it !.... oh I had this phone 2 days! lol
I phoned Vodafone about this, and they are aware of the problem. They told me to pop to a store, and they would change the back housing
Question is how long will it been till that starts creaking!!?? Fml lol

When you are referring to the back housing are you referring to the cover or parts on the phone itself?

I'm refering to the back cover mate around near the search key. The creaking is affecting the right side of the phone all the way to the middle of the screen.. its really annoying

Here's a quick and easy fix: Buy this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and get a cotton swab. Soak the tip in the dry lube. Then rub the tip where I've shown in this picture:
Phone feels brand new.
Can this be claimed under warranty? The creaking is caused by the cover having a bit of a gap (<1mm) at the bottom, right under the serach button.

is it possible

. . .
is what possible?
i'll tell u its not possible
Impossible means I'm possible.....

people lie man.but who knows
everything is possible.Hope die last.
Here in Spain it's possible. I swear.
I hear it's only possible if you're rooted.
Breaking news: Just heard my wife's sister was in the post office today and she was sitting next to a women who had been in the local library, and she'd overheard the greengrocer telling the butcher that he'd seen a documentary on Discovery where Winston Churchill recounted a tale of a story he'd heard about a time-travelling clam who'd spilled under interrogation that it is indeed possible.
If you take the original posting into account, you'll notice that one is incredibly random, and the other is a heart-warming story about a time-travelling clam.
wtf?haha
Churchill must had some rooted device too and coz of that i will change my mind and say its possible (wtf i'm talking about :S)
I'm not really sure if its possible yet any ideas

In my opinion, yes. You just need to select that menu, scroll down to the drop-down menu thing and select 'Possible'.
If the 'possible' option is not available then it would would appear I was mistaken.
volume down + home button + draw cycles 3 times with left hand and here u are
..certainly possible,
although you might need to switch 'Wax' on and then 'Wax' off..
I knew it!!!!

With great power comes great responsibility. I'm not sure you are ready. Anything is possible with this option ticked.
It also drains the battery like you wouldn't believe!

WTF!!!..Dust at the bottom of the screen.

Hello friends I have a question ... How I can clean the dust that comes under my screen, I never thought that this phone would allow that, HTC sensation has given me many headaches, before the signal, then the battery life , then the warming and now this ****, damm wtf ...I don't know if was a good idea buy this phone after all.

Could you take some picture and upload it? Is this not the same with dust issue under screen which majority of us facing it? Search for the thread of dust issue ^^

He means the dust issue...Not powder, as in loose dust shaking around in the bottom, that's silly. Just return the phone. Mine is free of dust now.

Can the OP upload picture of the powder? I heard the dust usually come from right & left middle of screen. Never heard from bottom yet..

grainy screen resolution

Im sorry i have to admit that i did not search the forum first. Im posting from my phone and for some reason it wont let me search. Is there a problem with some of the phones screens looking grainy? Nothing looks sharp at all you can pretty much see every single pixle. Is this the expected quality of the phone or should i take it back to tmobile? Thanks for your advice in advance.
I have owned the sgs4g since before cwm was out for it and this is the first I have heard of this issue.

Wow, ok i guess that answers my question i wish i could take a screen shot of it to show you guys but im not rooted. Ill maybe try with my dslr.
ok, these are what I got.. how you see it is how we see it when using the phone.
I've included the one with a flash because it shows it kinda better. Ignore the greasy screen

Flip, i agree it is hard to see but if you look at the first picture... At the top of the dock you can clearly see its not very smooth... When looking at peoples screen shots on here... Theirs dont look anything like mine. It is new and stock.. I guess im just going to take it into the store and see what they say.
Also.. In the first pic... You can see how you can see some red and blue... And lines... Thats not the camera... Thats exactly how it looks on the phone
Definitely take it back and let them know it's not supposed to be like that. My lines are very smooth, nothing close to what I see in your pictures. The misaligned lines in picture 1 is already good enough proof.
