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

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.

This is on the TMO US with the AUO screen.

It's odd 4 days into having my sensation I was experiencing issues mostly on the lock screen.. they have somehow seemed to correct itself. I'm thinking an app, or setting or something is causing it. I've changed so many settings and added/removed apps the past few days it could have been anything. But oddly I havent had any issues with it for like 3 or 4 days now
i do not have the TOUCH SCREEN ISSUE
On my first set of sensations, my wifes phone had touch screen issues from day one and mine was fine for the first week then started all of a sudden. Now on the second set, both phones are pretty much useless when plugged in to charge. Both phones purchased here in Tucson. Same store, different build dates.

The issue was with all three which i have sold and the one iam using now..
One odd thing i noticed. When you have difficulty in unlocking while the device is locked (Happens) mostly when the device is not in your hands, try touching the phone's body and unlock. It works.

Never had any touchscreen issues with my Sensation. I did have issues with my G2x....but a factory reset cleared that up if I recall.
Does it still do it after a factory reset, fresh, with NO 3rd party apps installed?
If so, ya got a faulty device.
Well, I'm coming from the G2x, so I know from speed - but I have NO touchscreen issues.

I had this problem with my launch-day evo 4g. If you had it on a table where the phone wasnt grounded, the bottom half of the screen would not respond. This was really evident with a drawing app. I dont have time to experiment with my pone today but maybe someone else can try that.
Here is a video about that. Post here if you unlock the phone only you hold the ring from its left side like on the video.

If I could turn back time I will go to the exact day that I order my sensation. The worst HTC device in history for me. Can't wait to get s-off so i can fix this s**t phone and make it amazing. It all depends on you if you want to wait but you will need to wait for s-off and a new firmware to solve all the problems in this phone wish are a big list.
loving my sensation ever since the day i bought it XD you could buy the one with the att frequencies if you wanted it on att but yet again you could also get the galaxy s2. i say get the sensation and just wait for s-off, itll be worth the wait
After reading all the problems the Sensation has like:
Dust under screen
Touchscreen unresponsive
reboots
Deathgrip
LED notification almost invisible..
I have decided not to buy it, I had the cash in hand, everything planned to go after work to buy it, but i decided to check XDA.... I postponed my purchase.
keeping my HD2 until iP5 arrives or issues with this phone are fixed.

issues reported on XDA are always overrated. I own 2 Sensations with no issues. I have four friends with Sensations who also have no problems. You must remember that people who have a phone that works great out of the box are not likely to start a thread saying "my sensation works great" but the people who have a negative experience will post my "buttons are stuck"...I can guarantee that more people have purchased a "problem free" Sensation than those who have purchased duds....Also if you are purchasing a Sensation for AT&T be sure to get the Canadian version so that you can use the 4G/3G otherwise you will be stuck with Edge
I've had the Ion, Nexus One, Droid 2, and Incredible. The Sensation is easily the best purchase I've ever made. Zero complaints and it's about to get even better with s-off.

Humm
My issues :
Reboots that happens a few times a day depending how much I use my phone.
Glitches on widgets 3rd party ones makes me restart sense a few times a day.
Touchscreen unresponsive sometimes.
WiFi death grip.
I dont believe this is dodgy hardware its all too do with firmware so not everyone will have same experience since we don't all use same firmware.
People are free to speak there issues that why this is XDA so we can help each other.
My first 3 Sensations had various issues listed however out of the 5 I've seen in person, non have them have had dust under the screen. Eveb if it did, big deal. Return it for another. The one I'm using now is my 4th device and I have had it for 1 month with no issues at all. Not even the wifi deathgrip issue in landscape. My wife has a Sensation as well and hers has had zero issues as well. In the end, any device can have issues and if you get one that does, RETURN IT. I returned 4 G2X's until I got a bug free phone. Its really not that big of a deal.
That being said. The only thing I don't like about the Sensation is the new version of Sense. HTC is moving in the wrong direction and instead of making it less intrusive, there making it more intrusive. Another thing they did was add too much useless eye candy which clearly bogs down the device. It also seems as if they forgot to optimize it. I put ADW on my Sensation 1 month ago and haven't looked back. It has made my Sensation faster than my G2X which I thought was impossible. A phones UI really can't get any faster. Everything now is pretty much instant.

I have zero issues with my sensation. I get good wifi signal even in landscape. No dust, no camera issues, and the led notification is plenty bright for me. I can actually see it through the grill. Great touch screen and very responsive. I haven't experienced any lag in the sense UI, I admit its not as smooth as my cm7 n1 or my captivate and atrix on launcher pro but its plenty fast for what it is. I have no regrets buying the sensation (bought it outright too) to replace my atrix. I've had my share of bad luck with other phones being lemons too but it seems I lucked out with this device.

Nice one! Still, no offense, but it's madness that we let this happen by continuously buying 'flawed' smartphones.. Don't get me wrong, I've owned a few smartphones by now (touch pro, hero, desire and now sensation) but somewhere, it just nags me..
I second that. Being in Europe I should have bought an european Sensation. For 400 euros I got an asian Sensation (not the Hong Kong version!) and the only issues are Sense restarting once in a while and the phone getting hot from time to time while charging. I also have to nention that mibe us OC to 1512 MHz with On demand governor. Software: 1.35.707.1

+1 also no issues with my sensation, just a MINOR thing with the back cover comming a VERRY little loose on the one side, but i put a tiny piece of paper underneath and its perfect now, no complaints, no dust, no death grip... im sure if everyone made threads of good working sensations we would have way more than the faulty threads... u just unlucky if u get problems
Buy Sensation. The only problem I ever had were random reboots, but it didn´t happen for the last few weeks so I think everything works fine now. Perfect phone simply doesn´t exist. I´m in s-off waiting club either and I´m sure devs solve most of the current issues.
I came from the G2X because that phone was riddled with problems, but now it seems like I may have made a huge mistake. That phone's problems were nothing compared to the problems that I'm having with this phone and it seems to be getting worse.
The power button issue where at least two or three times a day, the home button is turning into a screen capture button. VERY annoying to have to deal with that, then go and delete all the stupid screen caps from the photo album.
Inability for the camera to focus on anything in macro/close up. I can't use any barcode apps, which I used to use all the time.
Complete loss of signal for no apparent reason until I toggle on/off airplane mode or restart about two or three times a week. EXTREMELY annoying and makes me miss important calls.
Phone freezing for no apparent reason in middle of a phone call.
The internet lag, which occurs when you're surfing and it takes 4-5 seconds to just connect and start downloading. I've never seen this with any previous smart phones.
These are only the major problems.
Are they planning to fix any of these problems? I have had some bad RMA issues in the past and would prefer not to get a crappy refurbished phone that's going to still have most, if not all of these issues (which all seem pretty wide spread).
Since I know that many of you are having these issues, what are you doing about them?
I don't have any of this issues and you should definitely consider getting an exchange for another Sensation.
I used to have a G2x too and 200% more happy with my Sensation.

Unfortunately the problems you are describing are just part of the "fun" of owning a Sensation. This was without a doubt one of the worst purchases I have ever made, and I still cant believe HTC produced this phone. Its almost as if they fired the entire quality control department just to get these handsets out the door. Regardless, I feel bad that you (likely) spent $600 on an awful device like I did. I would suggest you try and sell it on Craigslist and then buy the new Nexus device next month. However, you will then need to deal with knowing you sold some poor sucker a total piece of sh*t....... Its really a 'lose/lose/ situation buddy, I feel for ya!
I came from the g2x as well. After two g2x s and the same problems with both, no GPS locking and **** battery life ( dead by 5pm ). This phone isn't the best but it's been an amazing phone for me. I think you just got a bad one.

Same here....guess I'm in the minority too.
Mine's more like a supercharged Vette though.

That is VERY bad advice. The most recent OTA update actually caused many of the problems people are now experiencing. More specifically, the newest OTA update now causes random screenshots (when pressing home) and makes the touchscreen very unresponsive. If I could go back to the previous version I would, however you do lose some functionality by doing so.
As before, dont just take my advice. Spend a few minutes on this forum and you with find thousands of other users pulling their hair out after purchasing this phone. Regarding the issue that occurs after updating via OTA, I point you to the following thread.

Enjoy, and 'caveat emptor'.
Wow. After having my Sensation for a few months I'm shocked to see you're having all these issues. I've had a ton of smartphones dating back to the Treo 600 and this is the best I have ever had.

I had thought I would be raving about this phone to be honest. I was a blackberry user for well over 10 years, going waaay back to the RIM 850 (I bet most people reading this were YOUNG children when that came out!). In the early 2000's I began importing the original HTC windows mobile handsets for sale on ebay, and I have tested, sold, and used almost every "smartphone" released since then. About a year ago I finally came to the realization that the Blackberry platform was showing its age, so I began looking into Android. After a few months of going back and forth I bought the G2, and then a few months later I "upgraded" to the Sensation. BIG MISTAKE!!! Between the sluggish, battery hogging monster that is the Sense OS and the HORRIBLE build quality of this phone, nothing good has come out of this relationship. For the few that have had no problems with this phone, just wait, they will develop! For those who are toying with the idea of buying this phone JUST WALK AWAY. Unless you can get this phone for free, and unless you don't mind sending it back for repair (over and over and over) then looks elsewhere for your Android fix.
nothing wrong wit mine. completely stock but rooted. i love this phone....
You have a faulty handset. I have none of these problems. This phone is nothing short of amazing.

Faulty phone. Mine has none if those issues. Rooted running stock Rom.

To all the people owning HTC Raider/Holiday are you seeing the device backside warms up very quickly.
It is not as bad Samsung Galaxy S2 , where it gets too hot, just wanted to be sure that its just not my device.

Whoa, you have the Raider/Holiday/Vivid(AT&T) on Bell already?
I know this is off-topic, but do you mind telling me how battery life is? If it's the same phone as the AT&T version, I'd like to know the LTE battery drainage.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Got mine from Rogers this morning.
Worked for a couple hour, now i cant get data anymore, upload arrow beside the 4g icone is light up constantly and three no download arrow ever.
Since that issue appear, my phone stay awake constantly(from battery info) and the bottom is warm. Not sure if it was that warm before the issue.
I know it's only partially related, but there not much info on the Raider out there right now, and i wanted to share in case someone else end up here like me while looking for my issue.
Not sure if i gonna exchange it or return it yet...

Whoa, the exact same thing is happening to me as we speak. Been like this since about 5pm this afternoon. Weird, I called Rogers and they said nothing's wrong w/ the network. Wonder if it's the phone...
Edit: Yup it's the phone. I put my sim back in my Evo 3D and no problems whatsoever with data. Ugh!!
How do you guys like the screen on it. I might be taking my atrix 2 back this Sunday for the att vivid.
You guys definitely got the better name that's for sure.
So screen and feel of the phone are my concerns and I guess these issues being found.
Thanks

The screen is great, 4.5 qHD is huge when coming from 3.7 Desire Z. (No Gorilla glass mention anywhere thought...)
Feel is great also, but again, Desire Z is a big heavy phone (physical keyboard), half the ram and single core.
2 phone with the same issue dont look good, if you think of the probability of us finding each other...
My guess would be bad batch or bad phone... wish i knew which one...
@icepixie, Any chance you got your from the store in Joliette?
Yes, whenever I'm gaming I notice the bottom, back-side of the phone gets warm. I wouldn't say its hot though.
Personally, I am able to get through a whole day on the phone with medium to heavy usage. I'm sure you can get more with better power management (task killers, screen brightness, turning off data and wifi, etc.)
Overall, I am very pleased with this phone. I was initially afraid that the phone may be too large, but now I don't see myself ever using a screen that is less than 4.5" again.
I agree, it gets a bit warm when you use it heavily but it cools down pretty quick as soon as you stop to the phone goes to sleep mode.
The battery does last the whole day, and I think it will get better as now I play or show off the features.

No, I got mine from a Rogers Plus in Ottawa. I've packed mine back up to take it back to the store today, so we'll see what they can do for me.
Were you able to get your phone working again?
Honestly coming from an Evo 3D I don't know if the Raider is much of an improvement. They're very similar and although I like the look of the Raider much more I don't know if it's a worthwhile upgrade! I read some reviews of the new Telus HTC Amaze and I wish I got that one instead.
Went back to the store today, the replacement had the exact same issue, i did'nt try a third one...
Either a bad batch or a bad model, it suck cause i really wanted HTC Sense on a dual core, 4.5 screen.
Seem i gonna need to wait for a different model or some more online feedback on that issue...
wow that sucks... who woulda thought htc has these issues... think i'll try to contact htc about it.
i ended up returning mine today too.
Now I am getting random reboots, especially after a txt message. Is any one else seeing this.
I read somewhere its carrier related not phone. Cant remember where tho. Like carrier and this phone combo , buti also read therethat it got fixed. Guess notfor you guys. Both rogers right?

Thanks... oh wells.. Too late, I already returned mine..
I've been watching the forums for this phone for a while now and it seems that this phone has alot of problems.
I'm not bothered about the chipping as IMO the phone still looks good when it's there, however I've seen signal, charging, home button and notification problems. I know there are more but is there more than average and how many problems does the average One S have?

Well its hard to give an averaage really, guess most people have their "favorite" issue
Mine is chipped to hell and back (black version bought in april), but I'm used to my phones acquiring a Mad Max style patina. Other than that the notification light is stupidly faint and badly placed. Couldnt be happier with the phone though!
This is the place to go with problems, so you're getting a distorted view of this phone. The US version I have is in pristine shape, runs Jellybean great and is the best looking and feeling phone I have ever had. Would consider an SGS3, but that's about the only other comparable option.
i just got my phone and was worried about the same thing. i actually had a problem with the hardware button lights but was fixed by switching from stock to custom rom.
personally i love this phone. coming from sensation i had expectations and they were met.

I have the T-Mobile version with S4. I had weak signal and the notification problem with the T-Mobile software. After changing CID and installing the latest ruu (European_2.21), both problems are gone. For now I´m really happy with my One S.
